Endometriosis affects 10 percent of reproductive-age women and can seriously affect a woman's quality of life and cause infertility, according to University of Washington professor of epidemiology Victoria Holt. A new study of women in the Northwest shows that endometriosis is linked to organochlorine pesticides. While these pesticides are for the most part no longer used in the U.S. — with the exception of some doctor-prescribed lice treatments — their effects linger in the environment and wind up in the bodies of women.

The Amazon Creek Headwaters appear doomed following the latest Oregon Court of Appeals decision, but local folks who have been fighting for more than a decade to preserve this pristine area next to the Ridgeline Trail have not given up. They are urging citizens to email or write the Eugene City Council to ask them to set aside the money that is in the voter-approved city parks bond for natural areas to purchase at least 18 of the 47 acres owned by Martin and Leslie Beverly. The family is reportedly asking $2.5 million for the 18 wooded acres.

Eugeneans are still pondering the boom in student housing and wondering when it will end. In light of the overbuilding (see our cover story Oct. 10) we predict several big projects on the drawing board will be shelved before groundbreaking. College enrollment has peaked, so the big out-of-state investors have been counting on drawing tenants from existing apartments and houses all over town. That's happening to a degree, but Eugene is not a typical college town.

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Named by the Romans, who thought the gems were formed from moonlight, moonstones have a floating light effect called "adularescence." They often have translucent grounds with silvery white or blue flashes. Moonstone almost seems magical with a ghostly, shimmering glow floating in a crystalline material. With a clarity range of transparent to translucent, the gem's body color can range from colorless to gray, brown, yellow, orange, green or pink. The best moonstone has a blue sheen, perfect clarity and a colorless body color. One variety called "rainbow moonstone" has a sheen that features a variety of rainbow hues.
Moonstones are usually cut in smooth, domed cabochon shapes to maximize the effects of sheen and adularescence. Fine moonstone is already quite rare and becoming rarer. It is mined in Sri Lanka, India, Australia, Brazil, Canada and Kenya. Rainbow moonstone is also found in Madagascar.
Ancient Romans thought moonstones changed appearances with the phases of the moon. They also believed that an image of Diana, the goddess of the moon, could be seen in each stone. During the Middle Ages, people believed one could gaze into the gem, fall into a deep sleep, and see the future. Today the stone represents serenity, happiness and friendship. It is believed to be a stone of inner strength and is said to arouse passions. In Europe, moonstone is considered the birthstone for June, although in the United States, it shares that distinction with the pearl. It is traditionally given as a 13th wedding anniversary gift.

What is it with college kids and coffee shops?
Monday, December 01, 2014
Whenever I thought of my look in college, I imagined myself bundled up in my favorite pair of boots, jacket, stylish scarf, trendy hat, and of course my thick rimmed glasses, reading high-brow literature, studying away in a coffee shop as the leaves begin to change. It sounded straight out of a Pinterest post about pumpkin spiced lattes. After living in Durango for three years now, my dreams of being a Pinterest model have come true.

Dear Fort Lewis College:
Thursday, April 17, 2014
Since I was a young girl, my North Carolinan parents have reinforced the importance of writing thank you notes. With graduation next month, I am compiling letters for individuals who supported me at the college. However, I realize that it was not individuals who enabled my personal growth, but the entire Fort Lewis College Community.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Pitcher Leslee Lake capped off a St. George softball tournament by pitching a four-inning perfect game in the championship game against Carbon High. Emery, who went south with the hopes of getting better and maybe winning a few games, came home with a shirt that said champions on it. Emery and Carbon each went 4-0 in their divisions before facing each other in the final game of the day.
On Friday, Emery opened play against Gunnison High and left with an impressive 9-1 victory. Gunnison scored first in the bottom of the first inning off a double and a pair of Emery errors. Emery answered in the top of the second after a walk to Markette Tanner and a single by Keera Allred. Emery added three runs in the top of the fifth inning and five more runs in the sixth inning.
In the fifth inning, Jalee Jensen tripled to right field, Chelsea Skinner walked, Leslee Lake singled to center, Bailey Kay singled to right and then Whitney Allen and Tanner walked to load the bases before Gunnison got the final out.
In the sixth inning, Adriane Weihing, Lake, Kay, Candice Norton and Allen would all score to pad the Emery lead. Tanner singled in the inning to get on base every time she batted. Emery finished with a .528 on base percentage in the game. Besides Jensen's triple, Kay got a double for the only extra base hits. Lake held Gunnison to four base hits in the game, walked four batters and struck out five batters to get the win.
Emery then played Lincoln High out of Nevada and got a come-back 8-7 victory. Lincoln scored four runs in the first and one in the second to grab a 5-1 lead. Allen would score first for Emery. After a walk, Allen advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Allred and scored on a Jensen single to right field.
Emery would grab the lead for good with seven runs in the third inning. Weihing singled, Lake walked, Norton got on by way of an error, Allen walked, Tanner singled, Allred singled, Jensen singled and Weihing then singled again. Weihing got thrown out stealing second to close the inning.
Gunnison would then score twice more in the fourth inning. Allred got the victory and Lake got the save.
Emery then shut out Logan High 6-0. Emery scored two in the first, three in the second and one in the sixth inning. Emery had eight hits in the game led by Jensen with three. Weihing had two singles and Kay and Tanner each had a single. Lake hit a double. Lake got the win as she gave up only three hits and no walks and struck out eight batters.
Emery then faced East High and won 16-4. Emery scored 10 runs in the first inning, gave up four in the second inning and finished the game with 1 run in the fourth inning and five more runs in the fifth inning.
Emery sent 16 batters to bat in the first inning and left the bases loaded when Allen flew out to left field. Jensen walked and singled, Weihing walked and singled, Skinner walked, Lake walked and singled, Kay singled, Norton walked and singled, Allen walked, Tanner singled and Allred walked in that first inning.
Tanner scored in the fourth inning after she singled, Allred singled and Weihing doubled. In the fifth inning, Lake, Kay, Norton each doubled, Allen and Tanner singled and Allred walked. Jensen got on base and Weihing then doubled to end the scoring. Emery had 18 hits in the game and received eight walks. Allred got the win as she gave up four hits and five walks. Kaleena Mouritsen pitched the final two innings and gave up a walk and two singles.
Emery would face Carbon for the championship. Carbon had defeated Millard, Rowland Hall, Beaver and Ogden in their division. Emery would score one run in the first inning, seven runs in the second inning and six more in the third inning in the abbreviated game as games were called after the fourth inning when one team led by eight runs.
While Emery was scoring every time they came to bat, Leslie Lake closed out a marvelous tournament by throwing a perfect game. Lake faced three batters in each of the four innings the game went. Lake struck out seven batters, enticed three batters to hit easy ground balls and got a batter in the final inning to fly out to right field. Lake would finish the trip with three wins and a save. Lake threw two shut outs and a one-run game and threw two shut out innings in the save. In the four appearances, Lake would give up only seven base hits and four walks.
In the Carbon game, Weihing led the way with three runs as she walked, singled and doubled. Skinner scored twice as she singled, doubled and tripled. Lake also scored twice after she singled and doubled. Kay also scored twice after being hit by a pitch and getting a single. Tanner also scored twice after doubling and getting on by way of an error. Jensen, Allen and Allred all scored once. Norton never scored but she had two singles and a double in the game. Allred singled twice and Allen and Jensen each singled once in the game.
Emery plays at home today and also next Tuesday. Game time is 3 p.m.

Amira Stretch Leather Boots 5 5
Excellent The boots are a little tricky to pull on if your not a 5'10, 110-115 pound model ;) but otherwise I recommend a silk like knee high sock or panty hose to help slide them on with ease. I've paired these over the knee boots with the Leopard Shirt Dress #222231 I'm very happy with both purchases. XOXO February 5, 2014
Returning I ordered these boots online, and I will be returning them. I dint like the shape of the heel or the material. December 10, 2013
I wanted to like I was so excited to get these boots. I like the thicker heel but the shaft of the boot was too small for my calves. I will be returning them November 19, 2013
Bebe Customer The boots looks so so. It is missrepresentation of the material. It says: " Amira stretch leather boots", but the are made from leatherette (plastic leather). November 18, 2013
Boots I got these boots in the mail, but was disappointed because I wanted to love them so much. The boot went up awkwardly past the middle of my thigh and the material was very flimsy. It did not look flattering at all. November 15, 2013

Massachusetts State Police are challenging a district court decision not to issue criminal complaints to seven recent college graduates who allegedly trespassed at the Quabbin Reservoir. The individuals were found walking away from the reservoir in the town of Ware just after midnight on May 14th. Since September 11th 2001, State Police have had a quote "understanding" with the Eastern Hampshire District Court that trespassing in certain areas be treated as a criminal offense. spokesman John Procopio says the Quabbin Reservoir — which provides water for 2.5 million people counts as one of those places. But Procopio says the court handled the case like a standard trespassing complaint.
"The fact that they were trespassing at a critical infrastructure site should be viewed and handled differently than trespassing at a more conventional location. And certainly if it were 12:30 in the morning in a restricted area with a group of people, regardless of what walk of life they come from — we would absolutely be concerned with that."
The individuals whose names have not been released — told police they were graduates of UMass Amherst and Smith College and studied chemical engineering. Under the court's ruling, the complaint will be dropped if they steer clear of the law for six months — unless the judicial review state police have requested results in a new trial. Joe Favaloro – the executive director of Massachusetts Water Resources Committee Advisory Board — says if the seven students are prosecuted for trespassing, they could be charged up to three-hundred dollars each.
"Stupidity has its consequences. And the cost associated with doing the testing, the cost associated with doing the examination — tens of thousands of dollars — shouldn't be just excused."
Police say there was no evidence of tampering with the 378-billion gallon reservoir.

When I first got my PS2 it came with two games. One of them was Grand Truismo 3. I have 76% completion on the game but it hooked me on the line of Grand Truismo line. So I long awaited Grand Truismo 4 and when it came out i was thrilled with the game. You spend most of your time in Trismo Mode collecting cars and earning cash to sup your cars up. If you played GT3 then you can transfer up to 100,000 credits and your A & B licenses. This saves you alot of time and frustration. Although you can't transfer cars from your orginal profile on GT3 the new jump start is quite an addition to the game. The mode also includes up to 700 cars from over 11 countries.
The only thing missing still form GT4 is crash damage. You can still go 200 MPH into a wall and bounce off the wall at 100 MPH and keep going with the race. Another thing is you can still run over all the terains of the game with out losing any speed which is highly unrealistic. Its still a great game with a few minor flaws but its also the greatest game on the PS2.

So by now you're probably asking about that silly username, well I'm also a car nut, and I drive an LT1-powered '95 Caprice sedan and the LT1 is a 5.7L V8 (AKA the same engine found in '92-'96 corvettes.) - so that's how that came about.
Glad to be here guys!

High Efficiency Refrigerator Initiative to Save Energy and
Dollars in Buffalo Municipal Housing
Connie Cullen
(914) 390-8196
Jack Murphy
(914) 390-8198
Printer-friendly version
February 11, 2003
WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) has
installed 900 new, energy-efficient refrigerators in apartments operated by
the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority (BMHA), as part of a coordinated
effort by state and local government to save energy and reduce power costs
in public facilities. The New York State Division of Housing and Community
Renewal (DHCR) and the New York State Energy Research and Development
Authority (NYSERDA) joined NYPA in the refrigerator replacement project for
"The installation of high-efficiency refrigerators in
Buffalo's municipal housing is a great example of state and local government
working together to bring the benefit of energy-saving technologies to
Western New York," said Louis P. Ciminelli, chairman, New York Power
Authority. "From removing antiquated coal-burning furnaces in several
Buffalo public schools to installing a state-of-the-art energy management
system in the Edward A. Rath County Office Building, NYPA has completed
energy efficiency projects at fifty-seven public facilities in Erie and
Niagara counties."
"As the refrigerator is the largest user of electricity in a typical
apartment, we are pleased to provide, with NYPA's assistance, these new
refrigerators that will annually save BMHA about $30,000 in our electric
bills," said Sharon West, director, Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority.
The new 15 cubic foot refrigerators, manufactured by General Electric, use
about one-third the electricity consumed by older models.
In February 2002 the BMHA began polling residents in its 4,000 apartments to
determine if residents would want to replace the refrigerators they
currently owned. If a BMHA resident chose to participate, they would agree
that the new refrigerator would be owned by the BMHA. New refrigerators
were also installed in vacant apartments. The first phase of 900
refrigerator installations began in December 2002. Due to continuing
interest, a second phase of the program will begin in early spring 2003 and
is expected to be completed by year-end depending on the number of
refrigerators requested.
The BMHA learned about NYPA's pioneering program to
replace refrigerators in public housing through the New York State Division
of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR). NYPA provides the feasibility
study, financing, purchase and installation of the new refrigerators, and
removal of the old units. Appropriate parts from the older units are
NYPA and DHCR are developing an initiative to reduce electricity costs, with
high-efficiency refrigerators and other energy-saving measures, for other
municipal housing authorities in the state.
"We have found that energy costs can account for a significant amount of the
maintenance and operating expenses of a housing complex," said Judith A.
Calogero, Commissioner of the New York State Division of Housing and
Community Renewal. "Working with NYPA, we will expand the use of high
efficiency refrigerators as part of our efforts to improve energy management
practices in public housing."
The cost for the first phase is approximately $370,000 and will be repaid
over a ten year period from the energy savings and rebates provided to BMHA
by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
As part of the New York State Energy Star Products Program for Residential
Multifamily Buildings, NYSERDA offers eligible customers of Niagara Mohawk
Power Company, and several other utilities, rebates of $140 per refrigerator
replaced. BMHA is a Niagara Mohawk customer.
"NYSERDA's support for this energy-saving initiative is part of our ongoing
efforts to help local governments achieve Governor Pataki's goals for
improved energy efficiency in public facilities across the Empire State,"
said NYSERDA Chairman Vincent A. DeIorio.
In 2001, Governor Pataki issued Executive Order No. 111 establishing
energy efficiency and renewable energy goals for state buildings and
vehicles. The NYCHA and BMHA programs are in line with the Governor's
executive order which also encourages local governments to pursue similar
In 1995, NYPA's energy services unit entered into a refrigerator replacement
program in public housing with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA),
the nation's largest housing authority. In 1996, that program began
replacing more than 180,000 aging refrigerators in most of NYCHA's 345
developments in the city's five boroughs. Over 100 housing authorities and
utilities nationwide have developed programs based on the NYCHA program. As
part of the program, NYPA engaged an appliance recycler in Syracuse to
remove salvageable components from the older units and recycle millions of
pounds of aluminum, copper, steel and cardboard.

Reviews of this property
Alberto is a very nice and friendly host and he waited for us although we were almost 2 hours late. We could always ask him in case there were problems or if we needed information about sights or restsurants. His apartment is also great! It is tidy, cosy and close to the city center.
Alberto was a really nice host who cared about us and our stay very much. It´s a tiny little apartment very closed to the Vatican - more or less ten minutes walk - and with a very good public transfer connection. It´s a perfect start for every sightseeing tour. Alberto welcomed us with some fruits and little pies and the apartment involves more or less every tool for the daily need. For a short stay it involves everything you need. The bathroom seems to be newly renovated . Alberto has given us at our first day some helpfull informations about the closest supermarket and a nice italian restautant nearby. On our day of departure, Alberto came to get the keys and to say goodbye with two fresh croissants :-)
We´ll absolutely recommend Alberto as a host and his apartman closed to the Vatican!
Clean, nice appartment with good bed and bathroom. Friendly and helpfull host. Kitchen facility sufficient for a city trip stay.
At 5 min from train/bus station. Vatican city withIn walking distance. To old city centre easy to travel by bus (64).
Supermarket also nearby (10 min walk).
We stayed in Alberto's apartment for 4 nights, and it was great. The apartment is located in a nice quiet neighborhood, and is really clean and modern - there was tea, coffee, fruit and milk in the kitchen, the bed was really comfy, and the bathroom had a great shower. San Pietro station and the vatican are also very close by. Alberto is a very nice host and i would definitely stay here again, I'd highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a place to stay in Rome.
We had a very pleasant stay in Rome by Alberto hosting, host friendly and attentive. We have everything you need in the apartment is very nice and clean as new. We were 10 minutes walk from St Pierre.Dans a very quiet area. Our best friend was the 64 bus just beside him and you go through all of Rome. There is also a supermarket nearby. So everything was perfect. We highly recommend this address. Alberto Grazie mille!!
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour à Rome grâce à l'accueil d'Alberto, hôte gentil et attentionné. Nous avions tout ce qu'il faut dans l'appartement qui est très beau et très propre comme neuf.
Nous étions à 10mn à pied de St Pierre.Dans un quartier très calme.
Notre meilleur ami a été le Bus 64 juste à coté et avec lui vous traversez tout Rome.
Il y a aussi un supermarché à proximité. Donc tout était parfait.
Nous vous recommandons vivement cette adresse. Grazie mille Alberto !!!!
Very nice and uncomplicated host. The apartment is big enough for a city break. Quiet area, but central. It is fast in the Vatican. The metro station you have to walk some time, but the bus line 64 (Termini) leaves nearby.
Sehr netter und unkomplizierter Gastgeber. Das Apartment ist für einen Städtetrip ausreichend groß. Ruhige Gegend, aber doch zentral. Man ist schnell am Vatikan. Zur Metro-Station muss man einige Zeit laufen, aber der Bus der Linie 64 (Richtung Termini) fährt in der Nähe ab.
We stayed at Alberto's place for 4 nights and really enjoyed it. Located right next to San Pietro train station, the city centre is easily reachable by bus or foot. The apartment on the ground floor was just all you needed, well kept and a quiet neighboorhood. Good bed, fine bathroom, small kitchen with coffee and tea available. A good hide-out for a week (or more) in Rome!
This is a fantastic apartment! It is modern, clean and well equipped. And it is in a really quiet neighbourhood, but still central. Waking up after a good night's sleep, listening to the birds outside (and sometimes the bells at S:t Peter) - can life be better? Alberto is also a very nice host! So we strongly recommend this place to everyone!!! And if we come back to Rome we hope that we can stay here again!
Thanks Alberto!
Eva & Hans from Sweden
I spent two nights at Alberto's apartment and found it clean, functional and very peaceful. I travelled with my mum, and we were able to utilise the armchair which opened up as a single bed so each of us had a spare bed. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom has a powerful shower. The place is lovely and clean, size-wise perfect for couples or two single people travelling. Good TV with channels showing English movies, perfect if you want to wind down after a long day's sightseeing. Alberto was a charming and very helpful host. Thank you so much for a perfect stay. I will happily come back and also recommend this place to friends and family.
Very comfortable apartment, well equipped and very good situation, near San Pedro and downtown bus stop. Alberto very attentive and friendly. Get with fresh fruit tray in the apartment and all for breakfast. Definitely a 10. ALBERTO THANKS!
Apartamento muy cómodo, bien equipado y situación muy buena, muy cerca de San Pedro y con parada de autobús al centro. Alberto muy atento y amable. Recibe con bandeja de fruta fresca en el apartamento y de todo para el desayuno. Sin duda un 10. ¡GRACIAS ALBERTO!

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Last week was a good week for the Emery High Lady Spartans softball team even though they split their four region games. On Tuesday, Emery last two close games to Juan Diego and then came back on Thursday to blow out North Sanpete in a doubleheader as Emery defeated the Hawks for the first time in a very long time. After having played three straight teams that are very good, the Lady Spartans maybe finally realize just how good this softball team can be.
On Tuesday, Emery lost to Juan Diego in the opener of the doubleheader by a score of 4-1 and then lost a heartbreaker in the nightcap by a score of 5-2. In the first game, Emery had opportunities to put up runs but it just did not happen.
Adriane Weihing had a triple in the first inning followed by a walk to Chelsea Skinner and with just one out; they could not be brought home. In the fourth inning, Candice Norton and Whitney Allen got on base but they also could not score. Emery finally scored their lone run in the bottom of the seventh inning as Keera Allred scored after hitting a triple. Jalee Jensen got the RBI with a double but the next two batters got out to end the threat and the game.
In the second game, Emery scored in the bottom of the second inning as Bailey Kay doubled and scored on a triple by Markette Tanner. Markette was thrown out at the plate as she attempted to stretch her triple into an inside the park homerun. Two perfect throws barely nipped her and prevented another run.
Emery threatened to score in the third inning as Weihing singled and Skinner doubled and Leslee Lake walked but the inning ended on a fly ball to right field.
After Juan Diego scored a run in the top of the fourth inning to tie the score, Emery came back in the bottom of the fifth inning to regain the lead. Jalee Jensen walked, stole second base, stole third base and scored on a passed ball.
Juan Diego came back in the top of the seventh to grab the lead and the game. Lake struck out the first batter, gave up a single and then got the next batter to fly out to left field. The next batter hit a fly ball that could have ended the game if it could have been caught but it fell instead and Juan Diego would score four times before the inning was over.
On Thursday, Emery hosted North Sanpete. After being tied at three apiece after the third inning, Emery won the game 13-3 in six innings. To prove that game wasn't a fluke, Emery came back and won the second game 14-5 to send the visitors home with a couple of spankings.
In the first game, Bailey Kay opened the second inning with a walk and got sacrificed to second base by Whitney Allen. Markette followed with a triple followed by Keera Allred with a double and Jalee Jensen with a single for three runs in the inning.
In the fourth inning, Candice Norton singled, Markette Tanner singled and Keera Allred bunted to load the bases. Jalee Jensen hit into a fielders choice as the Hawks got the out at the plate. Chelsea Skinner doubled to empty the bases and Chelsea would score on a ball hit to the outfield by Leslee Lake that was misplayed. Lake got to third base on the error and would score on a single by Bailey Kay. Emery now led 8-3.
Emery would score three more times in the fifth inning. Keera singled, Jalee singled, Adriane singled, Chelsea walked and Leslee singled to give the Spartans the lead at 11-3. In the bottom of the sixth inning after two Emery strikeouts, Markette would walk, Keera had another double to score Markette and the game was over as Keera scored on a single by Jalee.
In the second game, North Sanpete jumped up early as they scored three times in the top of the first inning but Emery would come right back and score four times in the bottom of the first inning to grab the lead that they would never relinquish.
Jalee singled, Chelsea singled, Leslee singled to score Jalee and then Bailey Kay hit one deep to centerfield that cleared the fence by a car length to put the Spartans up 4-3 with the three-run homerun. In the second inning Emery would score twice more. Markette walked, Jalee tripled to score Markette and after a walk to Adriane, Jalee would score on a double by Chelsea to left field.
In the third inning, Emery would add six more runs. Whitney opened with a single, followed by Candice with a double and Markette with a single. After a fly-out, Jalee singled, Adriane walked, Leslee doubled and Bailey doubled.
After the Hawks scored twice in the fifth inning, Emery scored twice more in the bottom of the sixth inning. Jalee walked, Adriane doubled and Chelsea singled for the two runs.
Emery had 31 hits for the day with 12 of those being for extra bases. Every Emery batter got at least one hit and every Emery batter got on base at least twice. In the first game batters eight and nine would score seven times while in the second game batters one and two would score six times. Emery's line-up from top to bottom is potent.
Emery travels to Delta this Tuesday for doubleheader against the Rabbits and then travels to North Sevier on Wednesday for a non-region contest.

Recently I visited with a friend whom, I thought, kept up with what is happening. When I attempted to discuss the coming of a nuclear power plant near Green River she knew nothing about it. That really surprised me.
But, I had wondered how much that news is given in ordinary news sources in all of Utah? (Because I live closer to where it would be, I probably have more possible sources of information about such.) However, I think it is very important that all Utahn's know about it and what may be positive or negative about having a nuclear power plant anywhere.
By things I have heard and seen, it seems that planners are trying to be careful in the way they are designing it. But I hear little or nothing about use/disposal of the spent nuclear materials. Also, I wonder what happens when, as in Japan, a disaster strikes---an earthquake or huge flood waters on the Green River.
Will then nuclear polluted water be sent to the Green River to destroy farming in the area and further downstream on the Colorado River. It would then flow on down the Colorado River to where it is a water source for Utah, Arizona, California and (if there is some left?) for Mexico.
After the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan I played happily with the idea that someday we would be driving atomic powered cars. We would just need a small box rather than the big engine. I have long since dropped the idea as too dangerous for all of us to carry around such a box and possibly have an accident of some sort. So what about a really big power source?

Skip to comments.EDITORIAL: The Civil War of 2016: U.S. military officers are told to plan to fight Americans
Posted on 08/08/2012 4:50:24 PM PDT by EveningStar
Imagine Tea Party extremists seizing control of a South Carolina town and the Army being sent in to crush the rebellion. This farcical vision is now part of the discussion in professional military circles.
At issue is an article in the respected Small Wars Journal titled Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A Vision of the Future.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
All command authority is from the commander-in-chief.
Absolutely correct.
It is one of many reasons why the citizens of our nation have a 2nd amendment.
Now to order a howitzer and a chain gun?/s
Sounds like GAC reincarnated.
That's entirely true, and to be fair, your point was that in CWII, there would be no ROE. That is largely correct. Once we get there, the game will change.
My point (and that of this article) was directed at the COIN aspects of the use of military force within CONUS. What wasn't explicitly mentioned, and should have been, is that this would likely be a transitional phase into a full scale civil war. You are exactly right in that the social mechanics behind the tight ROE would fall apart and the everything would likely go sideways. Still, how the initial uprising occurs, how it is responded to, and how the events are viewed by the public will set the fault line for how the earth breaks apart.
What the authors did was to sidestep this gigantic, looming concern by engineering an 'obvious racist villain' line in their story. No doubt they found this to be morally reassuring and uplifting way to write what is otherwise a disturbing scenario. Even if there was a 'break', it would be a full civil war but at 5% to 95% rate. The bad guys would be carefully distilled from the rest of society from the get go. Easy peasy. This is a comically simplistic view of counterinsurgency, where real insurgents blend in with and are supported by the people to an alarming degree. Reducing them to cackling cartoon villains is so colossally wrong-headed it brings great clarity as to how we wound up ten years into a dead end fight in Afghanistan.
Sadly, this inclination towards fantasy-based thinking prevents them from seeing the real danger of picking fights with strangers. They may wind up in a war when they merely wanted to deliver a beatdown. It also prevents them from considering that how the initial flare up starts and is handled will set the stage for the following conflict.
An excellent, but possibly fatally flawed analysis.
You are assuming the goal is not to destroy the United States.
It was obvious even before the '08 election that the goal was to destroy freedom, to destroy Western Civilization, and most of all to destroy this country, to turn it into a third-world socialist dungheap.
I'll live...
Well, they pretty much spelled it out:
A well regulated (controlled) militia (army) being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Everyone tries to contort the Second to mean this or that, but the whole idea was that the people would retain power over the army by sheer force of numbers (as opposed to martial skill) so long as they remained armed.
The security of a free state could not be ensured any other way if there was to be an army at all.
I understand your point, and as far as assessing motivations, I think you're spot on.
Still, they are constrained by political and operational realities. Like any other threat, they're not free to operate without consequences. As we used to say, "The enemy always gets a vote in your plan."
In a different world, where Obama and company were free to act without possibility of repercussion or failure, that would be one thing. This is not the case. In particular, the left has a major advantage and a major disadvantage. Their advantage is their reliable special interest voting blocks form a massive constituency that will politically back anything, and I fear that to be *anything*, that is done to keep their checks flowing. The disadvantage is that these loyal elements on the left are not soldiers, and cannot be mobilized. At best, they can be incited to protest locally or to attack their own neighborhoods.
That means that the left needs (a) and army, and (b) a context to use the army. The context being the more important of the two, because we have plenty of armies lying around. The context is what will allow the left to marshal the rank and file of the center-right security apparatus of the U.S. (law enforcement, military, national intelligence) against the far right (patriots, TEA party, Constitutionalists) that are their enemies.
The left has to turn the center-right against the far-right because the left has no army and no way to get one. All they have are dependent masses that will not question them or leave their side. That's a mighty advantage in most cases, but when push comes to shove, throngs of street protestors mean somewhat less than organized troops. The left needs force to back it's intentions up, and that force does not come without complications.
That's exactly why this scenario was written as DHS (center-to-center right) versus the TEA Party/Klan/terrorists (ostensibly the extreme right). The scenario's narrative is crucial because let them split the country along lines favorable to the fight they want to have. It's laughably inept, though, unless anyone out there is aware of a nascent neo-Confederate insurgency rising from the TEA Party that I'm presently unaware of. Sadly, the left may believe this twisted fantasy. This is the stuff that epic miscalculations are made of.
So, despite what our friends on the left would do if they could wave a wand and have their way, down here on earth, they have to play the cards they were dealt. Don't lose sight of the fact that any card they play can and will be countered.
In the context and vernacular of the Eighteenth Century, "well-regulated" meant "well-organized, well-trained and well-equipped".
I am assuming that. I would assess that the goal of the left is a social and political transformation of the United States from a Constitutional republic into a socially just collectivist state run by what they would view as benevolent elites for the betterment of all mankind.
When you get right down to it, transformation is the goal of most of our enemies. Militant Islam would far prefer to conquer the U.S. and convert us at sword point rather than destroy us outright. Same goes for the left.
Not to be disagreeable, but one of your statements is, IMHO, one of the great misconceptions of the modern era.
That if the grid collapsed or (as we are kinda seeing now with the droughts) there is a crop collapse or whatever that we just "go back to the good ole 1800's".
Gas lights in the streets, everybody has a garden in their backyard and chickens in the front, there's lots of cotton growing and wood stoves and all that.
Not gonna happen. We don't have even the skills to reproduce the 1800's.
Make soap? Oh, yeah, I'm sure twenty five people might post here telling you how they have personally made tons of soap.
They are lying or testosterone loaded or both.
Even build a buggy much less a harness, be able to shoe a horse, being a smith or a cobbler or able to do even primitive medical procedures?
One in a million. That's probably an overestimate.
It would take DECADES or maybe even a CENTURY before we got back to the 1800's.
Sure, there are many people around with a wide variety of skills, and who have done some pretty interesting things. I do home brewing of beer.
But as a whole, we don't have the cultural values, the type of industry, or the skills and values to support 300 million people like it was an old small town in North Carolina or something.
Correct. It isn't what it is, it is what the media's masters of imagery make it look like, and how much they can rely on the ignorance and sheer propensity of the average TV watcher for being suckered.
OK, carry on.
Going back to an 1800's technology also means going back to an 1800's population.
I know and have known many good field-grade officers. The Navy has had officers like Marcenko (Commander/05) who were good, and NOT political. It seems that to make 06 and above is where the shift occurs. Look at how many 06s and above it took to rail-road LtCol Lakin into prison for his constitutional stand.
Let's say that I am National Guard, ordered into a town to make arrests or put down "insurrection". I don't want to shoot civilians, and I feel very uncomfortable in my role, but I go. I don't intend to shoot anyone. Then someone fires on me or shoots the man next to me who is my friend. Where do I go now? Where is my loyalty? Adrenaline. survival instinct, tribal affiliation, lot's of forces at work here. Now my hind brain and instincts overdrive my cerebral cortex and intellect. This is how we can get played against each other.
Listen to an FBI sniper justify and defend his colleague for shooting an unarmed woman holding an infant.
I believe I heard on FNC this morning that a live bomb has been found in a federal building in Detroit
It was a package that was allegedly checked out - one lamebrained jerk actually picked it up and shook it -
It was placed under a counter inside the building and then ignored - but for some reason it never detonated -
Allegedly a man has been arrested now
Blame has been placed on a private security firm and some federal employees
This is the type of security that Obamaville has given to America
I imagine this was not covered by most of the media - "Spike it now!" was likely heard a media budget meetings -
The only surprise I had was that Sarah Palin and the Tea Party were not blamed by ABC - so far -
You note that Pelosi, Obama, and all those pro-OWS creeps have suddenly gotten very quiet about violent criminal OWS radicals - since OWS broke into an Obama campaign office on the left coast -
Rabid dogs make lousy pets -
That's why the anti gun BS didn't work. An overwhelming majority of people have a gut feeling something is coming.
That many people can't be wrong.
The left simply cannot hold on to power without violence.
I too have known COL (Ret) Benson for s number of years. You are right on target with your assessment of where the real problem lies.
" In case you havent noticed, the GOP is nearly as nasty toward the tea party as the democrats."
No joke!
My guess would be in the event of major systemic collapse, 30 to 60 million people surviving in ConUS.
Think of five people you know.
Four are now dead. Possibly all five.
Doesn't have anything to do with politics or race or even hair color.
Simple logistics.
This is the simple example of how easy it would be to return the USA back to the 1800's: " - - - For example, if the Obama-commies shut down the US Electrical Power Grid, and the US Airports, - - - "
Nothing "collapsed," no "skills" were lost, etc. as you injected into what I had written.
We, due to the mechanical turn of switches by the Obamanation commies, would be without anything that requires electricity; cash/credit registers, air conditioners, furnace fans, street and building lights, electric elevators, trains and the Chevy Volt.
The airports, in control by the Obama-commies, would shut down air transport of food and fuel, relegating us to transportation by ship and train transport a la' the 1800's.
Visit any US area today hit by a major storm, and you will see a population living as we did in the 1800's. The World may run on Oil, but without electricity, we will have to live as or ancestors did in the 1800's.
BTW, keep on brewing your beer, as the more CO2 that your carbonated beer releases, the more plants can grow to be strong and healthy.
Maybe it will be time to patent a coal-fired ice making machine to keep your beer cool? The coming Global Warming could be brutal.
" I can only hope that the COL (ret) is a drunk, or suffers dementia, and somehow allowed the lady to hijack his half-byline."
Don't rule out just plain stupid.
I may be wrong, but didn't southerners do guerilla tactics against Sherman? Didn't he (and his army) go through them like bulldozer?
I didn't inject anything, I'm just telling you that it is fantasy to think we could go back to living an 1800's style world.
We DO NOT have the skills it took to live then and without the grid and modern communications and manufacturing, most of our modern skills would be worthless.
We won't go back to living like they did in the 1800's, we might go back to how they lived in the year 18
EveningStar, my apologies for posting the flying saucer image. Yours was a good post.
Travis, having reviewed some information, I see a serious and deleterious economic and information situation developing mostly from the middle and top (yes, allusion to the fomenting of further physical class war from people gorged with debt and increasingly hysterical disseminations of information). The accredited, approved, etc. class is rather delusional in its planning scenarios, of course, and not only in their narrow regards of projected strength here and there, labels, and so on.
First, many of us will become much poorer, speaking of material items. That includes a very large portion of those who consider themselves to be well to do.
Second, an investigation into economic depressions tells as to which class will get its way on social issues (the "progressive" business, where it all started). See our own Great Depression and the effects that it had on the designs and so-called progress of the effete folks of the time (neo-romantics, social deviants,...). The social inclinations of the effete were hushed within a very short time.
Dire necessities lead to re-institutions of necessary social paradigms (what romanticists would call regression, etc.). Tangents of social ease toward anti-family practices are again outlawed, and such leisure class groups are deposed with market crashes, bond collapses, investment/pension "haircuts," etc.
We'll see as to how far the pathologies go. Looks like they have further popular academic, political and business momentum. It's an awesome public affairs challenge.
My general point from guesswork: hard times with such descendents and culture, on average, as in our USA, tend to cause a fall of many unproductive/counterproductive folks in leadership and a return to more traditional moral opinions.
We're different from some of the other populations (Russia, China and the like), in that we desire freedoms more than they, generally speaking. Always have. Even most of the duped working class Democrat voters. They (other nations, cultures) have only known hard and thorough monarchy/communism/fascism all through their histories.
Example: the czars of Russia also censored speech. Another: same with emperors of china. Even now, Chinese leadership tries to keep all eyes on the Yellow River flowing out to the ocean (the world). Same to great extends south of our southern border (Jefe, always Jefe, nothing changes) and in other cultures.
IMO, economic slide + incremental eliminations of freedoms = a bad mix for the ever more pathological comfy, vain and lazy. Huge public affairs problem—too much. We are not a third world population. We are not the world and are not in agreement with the romantic worldly: those pampered and "educated" in the illusions of tourist reservations.
In the possible event of any great insurrections, I'm still staying as far out of the way as possible, just as you and many others of us will. Too many potential mouthy, delusional chiefs in the most likely scenarios—nearly all of them gorged too much on television, junk food, leisure, higher education (see sexual confusions, illusions about tea parties and the like) etc. Let 'em fight it out, while we enjoy peace and quiet. We'll rebuild afterward.
Oh, and many politicos are screeching that we'll see communism. Well, even if, that would be rule by "thugs" not to include contemporary personalities in leadership. The political/regulator socialists still lose to resurgent "patriarchy" and all. Whole lot of fancy folks (see tourist reservations, not old marketplaces and neighborhoods on the outside of those) only think they know things about the more dictatorial countries. They're not respected the morning after.
Patton, Eisenhower..etc...led American Soldiers against other American's.......
Look up the Bonus Army...........
Geesh dude....two morons wrecked havoc on a community...a few years ago.
Witness also, the decreasing respect and attention of the population for socially consolidated, contemporary politics. Many more are irked and are beginning to see a decades-long class war perpetrated against them (mostly inadvertent by those in trade and offices), while the shrinking political class begins to shriek generalizing projections against the rest of the general population.
Most people will work hard if allowed to do so. Thing is, it's illegal (e.g., rural zoning against one-horse manufacturing shops). Most people are flamed by politicos as being nothing more than uber-populating, trash, stinking up the scenery.
There's also more ingenuity out there than I previously assumed. I looked around at quite a bit of it.
I've no doubt your quote is good; I've seen similar. But my point was, he was quoted as having changed his mind privately by 1870, when he unbosomed himself of his private thoughts to a visiting ex-Confederate from Texas. That man confided in a minister and seminary dean he knew, who in turn published the recollection in his memoirs, near the end of the century.
The confidential conversation with Lee took place at the close of a meeting called by the U.S. Army of the surviving senior Confederate generals. General Rosecrans presided, and was charged with reporting back what the Confederate generals were thinking. This was at the time the Force Acts were under active consideration.
That's "The chair is against the wall", just for the record. You don't want to be confusing the Maquisards out there (who were Communists, by the way).
Y'all are discussing this scenario of a "civil war". Perhaps you should read some history to see what that means.
During the Revolutionary war, it meant Loyalists in towns dominated by Revolutionaries were were harassed and their houses were burned (and vice versa - look at the history of those who signed the Declaration of Independence). This occurred far from the battlefields.
During the War between the States, the war wasn't just between the northern and southern armies - it was 'Bleeding Kansas' and the atrocities of the raiders in Missouri (both sides).
In Argentina, both sides had "death squads".
We appear to be building towards a civil war, but the next civil war will not be limited to a militarized force surrounding a geographic area (e.g., town, city, State) — it will be nation wide, neighbor against neighbor. It will be between those who believe that the purpose of the Constitution is to limit the power of the FedGov, and those who believe it interferes with building a FedGov that will ensure Social Justice (and Environmental Justice, and ...).
After some instigating incident where the FedGov steps over the line and cracks down, all restraints will be discarded -— targets will not be limited to the militarized forces doing the cracking — it will include "soft targets" [there are more of them, and they are softer].
Liberals publicly advocating a crackdown on the right with armed forces, whether politicians, legislators, newspaper editors, columnists, TV News anchors, will become targets of retribution [you want a war, here it is]; and then the target list will grow to include bureaucrats enforcing liberal policies.
Consider - if a militarized FBI or EPA or IRS force stormed your friend's farm, what would be more effective resistance - retribution against the individual members of that militarized force, or against the EPA/IRS bureaucrat that ordered it? It wouldn't be a militia that did it (with their FBI infiltrators), it would be a harder to find lone individual.
It will be very bloody.
Or let's say you're RA, and ordered to arrest mobilized Guard units and officers mustering at the (totally legal, totally constitutional) command of the governor of their State.
That's the Merriman scenario all over again, and it's also the Missouri Militia Volunteers, who were overreached in their own camp and ordered to surrender by a RA officer leading a whomped up force of regulars and Missouri Wide Awakes (think ACORN, think Sturmabteilungen, think New Black Panther Party). The Wide Awakes were secretly armed by the governor of Illinois illicitly, at the order of Abraham Lincoln, two months before he was sworn into office.
Think about that a while.
I agree with you 100%. Posts and threads get deleted that shouldn't be and others that are shameful are allowed to remain. Up is down, black is white, crazy sh*t around here lately but it's his forum, he runs the show.
Precisely. There are two competing versions of the future that are becoming of a size unable to share the same geographic space. This town just won't be big enough for the both of us.
You're exactly right that the next civil war won't be neat matches of tank divisions grappling for terrain, all set up according to respected rules and utilizing classic order of battle. They make it sound as though it would be a gentleman's duel that will be fought according to established doctrine and will end once one side is outmaneuvered and forced to concede defeat.
What they don't tell you is that in a real civil war, people will take power tools to each other, drill holes in their heads and leave the bodies hanging from bridges and power lines.
It will be everywhere, and not just where people assume it will be. The educated, urban Iraqis were far crueler to their captured enemies than the illiterate, warlike Afghans. The people least accustomed to fighting will be the ones most eager to push the limits once the fight arrives. Liberals may not make great warriors or organized opponents, but God help you if wind up caught up in one of their mobs once things start going sideways. What they'll lack in skill they'll make up for in viciousness. Many liberals will be shocked at just how far they've been conditioned to hate their opponents, and what that hate will make them capable of.
Certainly, the right won't be playing with kid gloves either. Once the tit-for-tat starts it will get very messy, and no one, be they man or woman, elderly or child, will be safe.
. "Col. Benson and Ms. Weber contend, Army officers are professionally obligated to consider the conduct of operations on U.S. soil. "
"Professionally"?Interesting inherint limitation in the rational.Are they not Americans? Since the Army is openly discussing fighting The People may The People beging discussing and contemplationg fighting the "professionals"?
"A constitutional loop-hole that an unscrupulous president could drive an M1A1 through."
After that Romney killed my wife thing I lost any doubt that such a thing will be tried. Previously I thought the "suspend the elections" fears were wayyyy overheated.
"If the trend continues, by 2016 the military will be largely populated by balkanized enclaves of victim groups more intent on getting back at their oppressors than on defending their country...."
All of the military has been turned into a social experiment by the libs.
My son is doing his duty, which basically breaks down to obeying the lawful orders of his immediate superiors. When you were in the military what did you do to correct the Constitutional problems with the President and the Joint Chiefs?
Interesting to ponder if something had spurred Lee to change his mind in April of 65 instead of 70. If he had given the order to head for the hills and begin "irregular operations," who knows what the USA would look like today? A GW could have stretched on for a decade or longer. The North might well have quit first. Interesting alt history.
The military probably has plans for dealing with domestic insurrections. These two writers, who don't have any real authority, introduced the "tea party" into discussion of such plans, even though it doesn't really fit -- probably because they didn't know what the "tea party" was, though maybe because they wanted to rile a lot of people up and create a commotion. It looks like it worked.
It always comes down to the spending loot and the groceries. If the fedgov ends up shattering the economy, the military will walk if they can't be fed.
The real fight is the Looters and Moochers vs the Producers. (As Neil Boortz aptly puts it.)
The govt. Looters loot the Producers to buy votes from the Moochers. It's a simple as that. And now it's coming to a head.
That's manifest in some of the quotes we periodically see out of DU.

Group: Forces of Nature
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: Wheat field
Date Made: 1881
Lender: Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio
Monet spent nearly three years painting within about two kilometres of Vétheuil. The growing abstraction of his style can be seen in the Wheat field of 1881 where the landscape is reduced essentially to three colour scales: reddish-gold, blue and green. The red-gold runs as a flat band right across the painting, but curves forward in a narrow channel and is scattered over the surface of the saturated greens which form another horizontal band. This meadow is articulated with long curving strokes of blue-green which are also used to create the trees and wonderful misty distances. Monet flattens the space and avoids illusionistic effects (for example, the path does not 'look like' a path; we know it to be a path through intuitive identification of shape, colour and location). One could compare this way of depicting space, by overlapping bands and linking curves and echoes of colour, with the landscapes of Hiroshige and Hokusai (see the latter's Shichirigahama in Sagami Province). The Wheat field was painted in the summer after Monet began working on the Norman coast. It suggests that his intense concentration on the groundedness of the meadows around the Seine was the necessary counterpoint to his imaginative grasp of vast heights and huge expanses of water in his paintings of cliff and sea.
