GREENCASTLE — From overlooked long shot to District 3-AAA champion, the spring of 2013 will forever act as a reminder of all that's possible for the Greencastle-Antrim varsity baseball program.
The improbable playoff run produced countless memories likely to last a lifetime for those involved, setting a precedent fueled by self-belief.
Behind a sufficient, 11-7 mark in the regular season, the Blue Devils entered the District 3 tournament seeded 13th, widely presumed to be 'one-and-done' considering their first-round pairing against Lancaster Catholic.
Contrary to assumptions, G-A's signature moment transpired, rallying from an early deficit to stun the fourth-seeded Crusaders on their home field, foreshadowing what was to come.
As the old adage goes, the rest is history.
Victories over No. 5 Oley Valley and No. 8 West York ensued, assuring a berth in states while earning a spot in the district title game.
After establishing a 10-run lead, G-A's magical run came full circle, coasting to a 12-8 triumph against No. 3 Littlestown to convincingly claim the Class AAA crown.
It was a storybook two-week stretch comprised of an unimaginable script, culminating into a heartbreaking conclusion just one out away from continuing onward.
Despite Upper Moreland's 4-3, walk-off win in the opening round of the PIAA tournament bringing the Blue Devils' season to a devastating end, it certainly did not define the journey.
"It was just an unbelievable ride," G-A third-year head coach Eric Shaner said. "Seeing the guys get rewarded for truly believing in themselves and their teammates is what really made it special. We got to the point where we couldn't see ourselves losing. You always want to win, but that belief led to our success."
Acting as somewhat of a consolation, West York went on to defeat Upper Moreland in Friday's state championship game, reaffirming the caliber of competition G-A did, and nearly beat.
Aside from the remarkable playoff run, the Blue Devils' 15-8 final record was a vast improvement upon their 8-12 mark in 2012 — a season that concluded with nine losses in the final 10 games.
The overall turnaround spoke volumes to the leadership of G-A's senior class, with the six recent graduates certainly leaving a lasting impact.
"After the way things ended last year and with us periodically struggling early this year, the guys got to a point where they knew they had to have a voice on the team," Shaner said of his seniors. "Kids that weren't that vocal before really stepped up and the other guys responded. The leadership was tremendous and we really became a tight-knit group as the season went on."
Senior leaders
A three-year staple at shortstop, Hunter Szaflarski capped his sensational career by batting .451, second on the team to Justin Hovey's stellar average of .456.
Szaflarski, who will play Division II ball at Shippensburg University, found his comfort zone after Shaner moved him to sixth in the order, racking up 19 RBI and finishing with a team-high five triples.
A wall behind the plate, catcher Adam Moore served as the third Blue Devil to bat above .400, ending his impressive senior campaign with an average of .406, including 18 RBI and 20 runs scored.
Solidifying the bottom half of the order, the duo of Cam Chilcote and Holden Baker consistently made their presence known, as Chilcote batted .348 with 14 RBI followed by Baker's .333 average and 15 runs scored.
Gifted with rare speed, Danny Stepler excelled in the leadoff spot, batting .342 while stealing a team-high 17 bases. The senior's legs also paid dividends in the outfield, frequently chasing down shots to the gap from center.
Josh Young rounded out the Class of 2013, acting as an important member of G-A's rotation.
With such a valuable cast being lost to graduation, the Blue Devils will undoubtedly have some areas to address moving forward. While finding comparable talent to step in will not be an easy feat, the experience gained by this season's underclassmen should prove pivotal toward the future.
Pair of aces
It's no secret that dominant pitching can carry any team a long way. Throughout the year, and especially in the playoffs, it became equally obvious G-A has not one, but two top-tier hurlers capable of shouldering the load.
Tabbed as the proven ace of the staff, Ryan Ricci confirmed his status among the elite, routinely overpowering opponents while rising to the occasion with the season hanging in the balance.
Ricci's 5-1 record included district victories over Lancaster Catholic and West York, with the junior's six-plus innings of relief against the Crusaders acting as arguably the best outing of his career.
Working 47 2/3 innings, Ricci boasted an ERA of 3.02 with 38 strikeouts, one better than freshman protégé Myles Gayman.
Thrust into the varsity spotlight, Gayman immediately emerged as a polished product, showcasing poise well beyond his years with deliberate command of the strike zone.
He ended his phenomenal freshman campaign with a record of 7-2, highlighted by a complete-game, two-hitter in his first career postseason start in the district quarterfinals against Oley Valley.
In his 49 innings of work, Gayman maintained a 2.94 ERA with 37 strikeouts, including a signature three-pitch sequence for the final out of G-A's semifinal victory over eventual state champion West York.
"Even though they accomplished a lot this year, getting knocked out in the first round of states actually made them hungrier," Shaner said of his returning, one-two punch. "They want to take the next step and with having both of them back, basically as two aces, it's certainly possible. They push each other and work extremely hard at their craft, so the potential is pretty much endless."
Pieces in place
With Ricci and Gayman coming back as a lethal combination on the mound, Hovey's breakout junior year at the plate essentially set the offensive standard heading into 2014.
Along with his team-leading batting average of .456, Hovey's production also included 21 RBI, 16 runs scored, 11 stolen bases and a team-high 11 doubles, frequently feasting off opposing pitchers.
The return of Ashtin Byers, Jake Crist, Kurt Hansen and Thomas Bowers only adds to the optimism, with all four batting at least .300.
Byers' average of .351 was slightly better than Crist and Bowers, who both hit .333 for the year. Placed in the No. 3 hole, Crist led the team in both RBI (25) and runs scored (24) while Bowers provided a reliable stick when called upon to pinch hit.
Hansen ended the season batting .300 even, finishing second on the team with 13 stolen bases while accounting for 20 runs scored.
Needless to say, the foundation for next year's lineup is already in place.
"We're going to have a lot of talent coming back," Shaner explained. "These guys experienced what it's like to make a run at a state title, so hopefully that carries over. There's a couple kids in the freshman class that we really like and will potentially be asked to step into a varsity role. Either way, there's definitely plenty to be excited about."

Constructed out of fabric made from postconsumer PET plastic bottles (average eight 20-oz. bottles per shoe), the newSKY designers created a chic, stylish shoe that you can feel good about wearing and get pumped up for your workouts in! What's their secret?
The designers utilized a more traditional stitching technique – allowing the recycled material to be soft, pliable, but, most importantly, very comfortable on your foot, making newSKY true to everything we already love about New Balance footwear.

A woman with her 2-year-old child spit on a SEPTA bus driver and beat him with her umbrella yesterday after he asked her to quiet the screaming toddler, according to police.
The 50-year-old driver asked Tiffany Alexander, 25, to calm her child down soon after she boarded the Route 7 bus yesterday around 3 p.m., a police spokeswoman said.
Alexander started to argue with the driver and came at him with her umbrella, but she eventually sat back down, police said. She then demanded to be let off the bus at Fairmount Avenue and 23rd Street and as she got off, she spit on the driver and hit him over the head with her umbrella, police said.
The driver was bleeding from his head and was treated at Hahnemann University Hospital. Alexander was charged with aggravated assault and related offenses.
The assault is at least the second on a bus driver this month. Today, SEPTA bus drivers protested outside Family Court, where three juveniles who allegedly assaulted a driver on March 17 were to have a hearing.
The hearing was continued but the crowd of about 20 drivers got their first look at the three teens when they were taken from a sheriff's van into the courthouse. The protesters booed the boys as they were led in to the building.
"They're grown-ass men, they ain't no kids," said bus driver Joe Bryant.
The crowd chanted "What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now," and "We're fired up. We ain't taking no more."
Although the teens were brought to the courthouse, they were not brought before Judge Kevin Dougherty, who granted a continuance in the case at the request of Assistant District Attorney Matthew Sedacca.
Sedacca asked for the continuance because the victimized bus driver was physically unable to come to the courthouse due to his injuries. Dougherty denied motions from the teens' attorneys to have them released from custody.
In that case, the 45-year-old driver of a Route 52 bus was punched, pulled from his driver's seat and severely beaten by three teens who had been unruly on his bus.
The driver's wife, who was in court yesterday and asked that her name be withheld, said her husband suffered a skull fracture, two orbital fractures and a sinus cavity fracture. Although he has returned home, she said he remains immobile and can't take long drives.
"Right now he remains entirely too traumatized to deal with anything," she said. "He's just focused on getting well."

EMPHASIS Health Care
A new excise tax will be levied on medical devices beginning Jan. 1, and the impact will be significant for medical device companies with a Memphis presence.
Large players like Wright Medical Technology Inc. and fledgling outfits like Arrowhead Medical Device Technologies Inc. are preparing for the 2.3 percent pinch on each device sold in the U.S., including pacemakers and stents, defibrillators, artificial joints, chemotherapy delivery systems, surgical tools and X-ray machines.
The Supreme Court ruled to uphold the Affordable Care Act on June 26, leaving the new excise tax in place on medical devices. The tax, which is estimated to raise $29 billion over the next 10 years, is one of many taxes and fees imposed by Congress to help offset the cost of subsidizing insurance coverage for more than 30 million people.
The effect of the tax will be especially painful for younger startup companies working toward profitability.
"It's another burden on small companies like ours," said Tom Twardzik, vice president of sales and marketing for Arrowhead, which produces an innovative toe implant surgical repair device. "The tax takes away money that could contribute to our growth, and it takes away money from other young companies that are trying to hire people and advance the economy. We already have taxes levied for regulatory clearance, quality compliance, intellectual property registration – all expenses beyond just the making of the product."
Some experts believe increased doctor visits for the influx of new patients could lead to an increase in procedures and thus an increase in device usage, but those thoughts could be misguided considering the many restrictions that will be in place under the reform.
Investors seem relatively unfazed by the potential negative impact of the tax. Stock values of some of the large local manufacturers of medical devices dipped in the weeks following the Supreme Court's decision in June, with Wright Medical's share value taking the hardest tumble. But since then, shares for Wright Medical, Smith & Nephew and Medtronic Inc. have recovered and risen to values surpassing late June's figures, according to analysis from Summit Asset Management Group.
"I think what happened in late June after the Supreme Court decision and what has happened since has been a little unexpected," said Lance Hollingsworth, a principal at Summit. "Stock values for the three medical device companies initially reacted positively to the decision, then sold off a little bit, but then fully recovered and moved on to yearly highs. It doesn't appear that the market was all that worried, that there was much of a negative reaction or that trouble ahead is imminent."
The new tax means layoffs for some medical device companies or cuts in areas like research and development budgets or domestic expansion plans. Earlier this year, Stryker Corp. of Kalamazoo, Mich., cited the upcoming tax as a factor in plans to reduce its global work force by about 5 percent. A story published in mid-September in MassDevice cites more than 2,000 job cuts in the medical device industry in the previous two-month span.
Larger local manufacturers of medical devices like Wright Medical are also bracing for the hit.
"We do not have any specific plans at this time to offset the tax," said Julie Tracy, Wright Medical senior vice president and chief communications officer. "Nobody likes to pay a tax, and it will certainly impact the bottom line."
Arlington-based Wright Medical's taxable product offerings include large joint implants for the hip and knee; extremity implants for the hand, elbow, shoulder, foot and ankle; and both synthetic and tissue-based bone graft substitute materials.
Representatives from Smith & Nephew and Medtronic could not be reached for comment.
For very young companies that might not have reached profitability yet, the new tax is similar to a punch to the gut. For a company that has $1 million in revenues but no profitability yet, it equals $23,000 in additional out-of-pocket taxes.
Twardzik explains the ripple effect spreads to other parts of the business.
"We will have to cut expenses, so it will eliminate our investing in capital purchases, hiring, business expenses, and utilizing other local professionals in areas like advertising, design, engineering, manufacturing and quality compliance," he said.
The tax will also apply to unsold inventory on hand on Dec. 31, which means some companies could decide to throw out excess inventory before the end of the year to avoid a hefty tax.

Reconstructing Zimbabwe may cost as much as US$5 billion, Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai said on Friday as he opened his hands to neighboring countries.
Tsvangirai was speaking after meeting South African President Kgalema Motlanthe, who has convened the region's finance ministers next week to devise a plan to assist their starving and desperate neighbor.
"What we are looking for is a short-term intervention to make sure we are jump-starting those institutions that affect people," Tsvangirai told reporters in Cape Town.
Tsvangirai, who joined a historic unity government last week with his bitter rival, Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, warned that long-term reconstruction could "run into billions of dollars, maybe as high as 5 billion."
"Our situation is dire. The key priority areas are food, health and education," Tsvangirai said.
Schools in Zimbabwe are shut, its economy lies shattered after 29 years of Mugabe rule, and its healthcare system is struggling to cope with a cholera epidemic that has claimed more than 3,750 lives.
Nearly 7 million people need food aid and up to 3 million have fled the country. Unemployment is at 94 percent and only 20 percent of children are going to school.
Public hospitals are closed, even though 1.3 million people have HIV. The cholera epidemic has ravaged the country, hitting more than 80,000 people since August.
Motlanthe said South Africa, chair of the Southern African Development Community bloc, had directed regional finance ministers to develop a plan to help Zimbabwe and again called for sanctions to be lifted.
"They have presented to us their preliminary plan to respond to these challenges which we have agreed to deal with. There are no figures to speak of, these are going to be crunched by technical people and finance ministers to be meeting on these issues," Motlanthe said.
Tsvangirai said his government would first concentrate on short-term priorities. Zimbabwe is buckling under economic meltdown, characterized by the world's highest inflation, which had officially soared to 231 million percent by last July.
Most essential civil servants, including teachers, nurses and doctors, have been on strike since last year over poor pay.
Tsvangirai promised to pay them in US dollars to counter the impact of hyperinflation and said Zimbabwe would use a multi-currency approach in the future, using the South African rand and the US dollar.
"As we proceed we will see if the Zimbabwe dollar can be re-used again," he said.
Analysts have questioned how such bitter adversaries as Mugabe and Tsvangirai would be able to work together to curb the humanitarian crisis.
Mugabe, 84, has held for himself the powerful ministries of defense, justice and foreign affairs.
Tsvangirai has appointed his top aide Tendai Biti to the crucial post of finance minister.
To rebuild the country, they will need massive foreign investment, but western countries so far say they want to see real improvements from the government first.
Speaking in Harare on Friday, central bank governor Gideon Gono said regional and international financiers had offered Zimbabwe US$500 million in credit, but were wary of conflicting policy statements.
The swearing-in of the new government, supposed to usher in a new era of unity, was marred by the detention of Roy Bennett, a white Zimbabwean farmer who Tsvangirai had named his deputy agriculture minister.

Blog comments invited on changes in 2006 upland bird seasons
The 2006 Kansas upland bird seasons are underway. Pheasant season opened Nov. 4 and runs through Jan. 31. Quail season opened Nov. 11 and runs through Jan. 21, 2007. Prairie chicken season opened Nov. 18, and runs through Dec. 31 in the southwest, and Jan. 31 in the east and northwest regions of the state.
For the first time in nearly 30 years, pheasant hunters took to the Kansas fields on the first Saturday in November this fall. In a break with tradition, the Kansas pheasant season opened on November 4. Traditionally, the pheasant season opened on the second Saturday in November, but the Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commission approved the change in June of 2005. A new opening day was established to provide bird hunters with an additional week of hunting. This will give bird hunters and the small rural communities that depend on hunting revenues three opening day events to promote.
KDWP staff patrolling Walk-In Hunting Areas and visiting with hunters reported generally less hunting pressure compared to previous opening weekends when pheasant and quail seasons opened on the same day in most of the state. This fall's Upland Bird Forecast appears to be accurate with hunting success being spotty, depending on local rainfall. Mild weather may have also hampered hunter success.
Hunters reported seeing good numbers of pheasants in portions of northcentral Kansas, but in areas where the drought was most severe bird numbers are down. In the northcentral and northwest regions, hunters were averaging just less than one bird each on opening day of pheasant season.
In the northeast, pheasant hunter numbers were down as much as 50 percent, which is to be expected since this area is known more for its quail hunting. Reports indicate that pheasant numbers may be slightly lower than last year, while quail numbers may be higher.
In the southcentral region, hunting pressure was also lighter than last year for the opening of pheasant season. Pheasant numbers appear to be down this year, and hunting was tough. Many hunters from this region reported seeing good numbers of quail, which is also consistent with the fall forecast and should bode well for quail season.
In the southwest, opening weekend pheasant hunting pressure was lighter than last year in most areas, and hunting was spotty. In areas were timely rains fell, hunters were finding birds. In areas where drought was severe, hunting was more difficult. Average harvest was less than two pheasants per hunter.
KDWP would like to know what you think about the change in bird season opening days. Visit the KDWP blog to post your opinion.

I'm going to set up my online business soon, I'm just honing my skills in javascript, XHTML, CSS, PHP.
I'm going to register a domain and rent a server soon, just finishing my book on SEO. I'm not sure how this is going to turn out, I will set up this website, make sure it is at the top of google, I will start getting business cards etc. Then when it comes to actually doing the jobs people would like me to do, I'm worried that I might get stuck, what if there is a job that I just can't figure out how to do, I've been watching videos of coding online but I'm wondering how that will work out in real life environments, applying the code to the website, what if they don't like what I've created for them and give me a bad reputation?
Building my website is going to give me a bit of practice on what to do, I will be more confident in creating websites when I do this.
I'm reading these books to get my confidence up, so that when I am actually creating websites for people I am sure what to do and that I don't get stuck. If they know that I am new will they expect me to screw up? What if I do screw up? How am I going to say that to them? "Uhh sorry, I can't figure out how to do this.", what if they give me a job that is too hard, what will I do?
And lastly is there anything else I need to consider? Anything to do with tax and registering a business, I surely can't just make money on the quiet without paying tax or anything like that. Is there anything that I should be careful of when setting up the business? I don't want to miss something out when setting up the business. I'm considering creating the website on wordpress so it can easily be updated, apparently it's good for SEO.
Carry on,it is going to be best for you

With the Infant Support Cushion, the Ergo baby Carrier is the only carrier parents will ever need, from newborn to toddler. The Support Cushion is specially padded and shaped, and can be quickly and easily placed in the carrier and readjusted or folded to pad just the right places for your infant. Your infant is then cradled in a cozy, protected environment. With the Original Infant Support Cushion, your baby is supported with both feet to one side in a sling-like, cradle position. The Infant Insert heart2heart supports infants in the vertical position, recently determined to be ideal for protecting baby's developing hips and spine. The Original Infant Support Cushion or the Infant Insert heart2heart can be used for babies from newborn to around four to six months. Parents can remain attentive to their baby's needs, and at the same time continue daily activities.
Here at ERGO we are advocates of our babies facing inward towards the parent in the vertical front carry position. Dr. Eveline Kirkilionis describes it best in her book, "A Baby Wants To Be Carried." Infants in outward-facing orientations cant turn away from surrounding stimuli that become overwhelming. In this position the baby cannot make eye contact with his or her parent to evaluate facial expressions, social cues, and so forth to make assessment of the situation. Only choose a baby carrier that allows your child to face you,..never out.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Sophomore Paige Cuscovitch scored four goals to lead the Columbia women's lacrosse team to a 14-5 win over Mount St. Mary's on Wednesday, February 29 at Robert K. Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium in their 2012 home opener.
The Lions jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first ten minutes of the first half. Junior Kacie Johnson scored the first goal of the game at 29:31 to ignite the offense. After causing a Mountaineer turnover, Cuscovitch capitalized with a score at 19:54.
The Mountianeers fired back with a goal from Kaitlyn Larrimore at 18:43 and a free position goal from Lindsay Diaz to tie the game at 2-2 at 17:24 in the first half. Columbia took a 3-2 lead at 15:00, behind Johnson's second goal of the game, off the assist from first-year Sarah Greenberg. Cuscovitch tallied her second goal of the game at 12:10 to give the Lions a two score lead (4-2).
Columbia continued their offensive charge, when Johnson assisted two goals to first-years Kaitlin Brophy at 7:43 and Stevie Wells at 5:23. With 3:28 left in the half, Mount St. Mary's scored its third goal of the game on a free position shot by Nicole Price. Columbia senior Taylor Gattinella retaliated with a goal with 48 seconds remaining in the half to give Columbia a 7-3 lead at the break.
Gattinella began the second half much like she ended the first, scoring her second goal of the game almost two minutes into the period at 28:38, off the Johnson assist. Cuscovitch scored two goals in less than two minutes to push the lead to 10-4, after Mount St. Mary's Larrimore scored her second goal of the game. With a free position goal at 25:37 and another at 24:35 in the second half, Cuscovitch tallied a game-high four goals.
On her way to a game-high seven points, including two goals and five assists, Johnson assisted her second pair of goals to a Greenberg score at 18:05 and a goal by sophomore Ashley Rinere at 12:43. Senior Jenny Schiff added the final two goals for the Lions. The Mountaineers scored with 40 seconds left in the game for the 14-5 margin.
Columbia improves to 1-1 on the season and will host its Ivy League opener versus Brown at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

You can see it right there on your own HDTV. Mobs flinging Molotov cocktails. Hulks of burning vehicles littering the streets. Phalanxes of police behind riot shields. Charging hordes — their faces contorted in violent anger, those faces not hidden behind masks — surging over security barricades. Ah, quaint Europe. Castles, old churches, turmoil in the cobblestone streets. Ah, sophisticated Europe — unlike backward, booboisie America. Long vacations, early retirement, generous pensions, socialized medical care.
Ah, Europe. Where the rich have to pay their "fair share." Powerful labor unions, protective regulatory bureaucracies with real muscle, social and economic justice galore.
Yes, unemployment galore also. Persistent unemployment lingering for years. Euro Area unemployment rate: 11.6. percent. Greece unemployment rate: 25.1 percent. Spain unemployment rate: 25.8 percent. Great wine but, alas, no economic growth to pay the mounting entitlement bills. Euro Area gross domestic product for 2012: minus 0.5 percent.
Which brings us back to those Molotov cocktails and angry hordes in the quaint cobblestone streets. "Labor unrest" is the delicate way the media like to describe it, determined like an over-protective mother to spare us from shocking reality. Unrest. Avert your gaze from those flaming vehicles littering the cobblestone streets and the faces contorted with violent anger. Unrest. Sample Washington Post dispatch: "A wave of labor unrest swept across Europe...to protest years of narrowing prospects, shrinking wages and sky-high unemployment."
Ah, Europe. Peer into your HDTV and think of it as perhaps a crystal ball.
— The Trentonian

- Blue tag or bust: Boulder to begin enforcement of new off-leash dog rules
- Dec 31:
- Off-leash dogs in Boulder: On Thursday, it's out with the green tags, in with the blue
- May 7:
- Boulder to begin new 'green tag' classes for off-leash dog program next month
- May 6:
- Changes to Boulder's green tag program for off-leash dogs get final approval
- Mar 1:
- Boulder's green tag holders may be required to re-apply, take class to walk dogs off-leash
People whose dogs commit the most serious violations on Boulder open space likely will have their off-leash privileges determined by a municipal court judge, along with possibly more serious consequences.
The Boulder City Council late Tuesday did away with a "strikes" system that had been proposed for the green tag program that allows dogs to go off-leash on open space, with aggressive dog and failure to protect wildlife violations resulting in automatic suspensions on a first offense and two violations in two years for lesser offenses also resulting in suspension. Dogs would have then had to take a test to show they could comply with instructions in a distracting environment.
Dozens of dog owners told the council that, if those rules were passed, they would walk in fear that a single mistake or the subjective judgment of a ranger would result in a lifetime loss of privileges.
Instead, the City Council opted to leave the exact consequences for aggressive dog and wildlife violations to the discretion of municipal court judges. Owners already have to go to court on such violations.
The concept behind the "strikes" approach -- that some violations are inconsistent with allowing dogs to roam off-leash on open space -- will be written into the ordinance as guidance for city prosecutors in the sentences they seek.
"Losing a green tag is a pretty minor consequence for some of these violations," Boulder Mayor Matt Appelbaum said. "If you have an aggressive dog, it shouldn't be out there on a leash either."
However, the consequences for an aggressive dog violation could be more serious depending on the circumstances, including mandatory training or even euthanasia for serious attacks.
Councilman Andrew Shoemaker said he had serious concerns about the reinstatement test developed by Open Space and Mountain Parks for dogs whose licenses were suspended. He said leaving penalties -- including requiring training through an existing program -- to a judge would maintain strict consequences for serious offenses while reassuring dog owners they won't be unduly punished for less serious violations.
The Boulder City Council did not vote on the proposal Tuesday. Instead, they continued the second reading of the ordinance so that the changes could be written into the ordinance and voted on later this month or early next month. Because of the changes, the ordinance will require a third vote as well.
The changes also require green-tag holders -- there may be more than 30,000 of them -- to re-apply for their license and take an in-person class and renew that license annually.
Now, green tag holders just have to watch a video on the program's requirements that dogs be under voice and sight control of their owners, and there is no renewal requirement.
The proposal also changes the fee structure to favor Boulder residents, lowering the fee for city residents from $15 to $13 but raising the fee for non-city residents from $18.75 to $33 for Boulder County residents and $75 for out-of-county residents. The renewal fee would be $5 for city residents, $20 for county residents and $30 for out-of-county residents.
It also raises fines for violations to $100 for a first offense, up from $50.
The City Council members largely supported those changes.
During a two-hour public hearing, many dog owners, or guardians, as many prefer to be called, said the existing rules are adequate, and the city needs more open space rangers enforcing rules on the small number of violators, not new requirements.
They were especially concerned about the possibility of losing green-tag privileges for what they see as normal dog behavior.
Melinda Kassen said the violations that have the strictest punishments are very subjective.
"My dog is a herding dog," she said. "She plays by chasing. That's what she's doing. Someone might think she's aggressive."
Eileen Monyok said people can bother wildlife as well, but they don't lose their open space privileges.
"Getting too close to get the perfect picture," she said. "Trying to sneak up on them. I've seen people coming down from the Mallory Cave bat closures. People aren't losing privileges. I'm against unequal punishments for the same offense."
Open space officials noted that none of the behavior expectations is changing, and dogs that lose green tag privileges can still walk on open space, just on a leash.
Monyok said that was like telling a climber who got a ticket that he or she could still climb, but only in galoshes.
Valerie Yates said knowing her dogs could lose their green tags would be "anxiety-inducing and unnecessarily punitive."
"My two dogs don't chase wildlife and don't jump on people, but their active, playful behavior would certainly get them a ticket if witnessed by a ranger," she said.
But Barbara Loren said many dog owners don't understand what it means to have their dogs under voice and sight control. One of her three dogs died after a "friendly lab" jumped on it and broke its back. The owner of the lab had to pull her playful dog off the other dog, but the damage was done.
She said many dog owners would benefit from a class.
"If you don't have time to go to the class, you probably don't have the time to train your dog to the extent you need to to go on open space," Loren said.
Raymond Bridge said he heard many dog owners refer dismissively to dogs chasing wildlife as "only chasing squirrels," but that behavior has an impact.
As a volunteer naturalist, he used to be able to easily show children the relationship between the Abert's squirrel and the ponderosa pine. Now, he can explain it but not show children actual squirrels.
"Those kids regularly pay the price for people who think dogs chasing squirrels are under voice and sight control," he said.

With over 150 million people using Facebook Connect every month at over 1 million websites, Facebook has ushered in a new era, as the world's largest personal data store.
Personal Data Stores
Personal data stores allow individuals to share online data with service providers. Facebook Connect users can give third-party web sites like Digg, Amazon, and YouTube access to information stored at Facebook, turning Facebook into a personal data store for over 500 million people.
What makes personal data stores special is the seamless sharing with websites for real-time personalization of the web. It's more than just file back-up or synchronization. It's not just publishing "content" to our friends or the public. Personal data stores allow us to bring our information to websites when we want to. It's a way to treat the user as the point of integration.
Personal data stores can be anywhere, shared with websites whenever we want. Consider giving FedexKinko's a link to a Flickr account so they can download photos to print a new calendar. Or giving a new doctor permission to access our personal health history rather than filling out a paper form while we sit in the waiting room. Or giving a website access to our Outlook contact list on our desktop computer so they can give us birthday reminders and gift suggestions. The key is user-managed access, wherever the data lives. Facebook Connect gives this kind of access control over all the data we store at Facebook, enabling web-wide personalization built around the individual.
In recent years, mash-ups and real-time APIs have made it easier and easier for companies to combine information from different services into a single user experience. Instead of building bigger and more complicated proprietary data silos, companies take advantage of services like Google Maps and IP-address geolocation, using real-time information to enhance their websites.
Some service are even built around other companies' data: Twitter clients like Seesmic and Tweetdeck, which access our Twitter data on our behalf; Trillian, which works with various instant messaging networks; and Mint, which pulls in our financial data from hundreds of websites. The "real-time web" is constructed on the fly, using linked data and real-time APIs to dynamically customize services for each of us.
Personal data stores let us bring our own data to the mash-up party. Not only do we have better control over who sees what, we can provide more timely, higher quality data than service providers can get from other sources. Effective integration with personal data stores means no more ads for that car we've already bought; no more recommendations based on false assumptions. Unfortunately, data in the wild is constantly becoming outdated, miscopied, and misconstrued, because that's the best companies can do using the billions of dollars worth of proprietary data that's gathered about us rather than provided by us. Personal data stores easily allow individuals to give the most relevant, most up-to-date information to just those companies we want to do business with. That means not just better data, but more intimate relationships with our favorite companies and organizations.
Perhaps the most liberating aspect of personal data stores is that everyone gets to have as many as we want. We all have our favorite websites for different online activities. As those sites open up their data with a user-driven permissions mechanism, they become personal data stores. So, whether it's YouTube for videos, Flickr for Photos, Foursquare for location updates, TripIt for travel plans, or RunKeeper for exercise data, we get to bring our best data with us wherever we go. Savvy websites pull in this high quality data to personalize our visits, while those with unique data open it up for use elsewhere to maximize value to their users, which is exactly what Facebook is doing with Facebook Connect.
Facebook Connect
Facebook Connect makes this kind of access simple for everyone, with industry changing adoption rates. Over 66% of the top 100 websites and over 1 million total websites now integrate with Facebook in some way. Nearly 1/3 of Facebook users—over 150 million people—use Facebook Connect every month. Every time we do, we give websites access to information stored in our Facebook accounts, such as our name, gender, names of our friends, and all the posts currently on our wall or posted by us. It's an archetypal personal data store, with highly credible and timely data in the form of our friend list and our status updates. Sure, Facebook Connect is still far too limited in the amount of information we can store and we lack control over how that information gets used… but architecturally, Facebook has changed the game for a vast portion of the World Wide Web.
To find out what information Facebook is sharing, I built a website called "I Shared What?!?", an information sharing simulator for Facebook. The site uses javascript and Facebook Connect to display everything it can get from Facebook. Visitors see in specific detail exactly what they share when hitting the "allow" button in the Facebook Connect permissions dialog.
Facebook uses open standard technology to bring mash-ups to a new level, built on information provided directly by the user, in real-time, with minimal fuss or bother. There are shortcomings, of course. A lot of them, but I'll save those for future posts. For now, think of Facebook as the 800 pound icebreaker of a new way for companies to connect with their customers.
To this veteran VRM evangelist, Facebook has done more in 2010 to usher in the era of the personal data store than anyone, ever. In one fell swoop, Facebook launched a World Wide Web built around the individual instead of websites, introducing the personal data store to 500 million people and over one million websites.
Unexpectedly, Facebook has moved VRM from a conversation about envisioning a future to one about deployed services with real users, being adopted by real companies, today. We still have a lot of work to do to figure out how to make this all work right—legally, financially, technically—but it's illuminating and inspiring to see the successes and failures of real, widely-deployed services. Seeing what Amazon or Rotten Tomatos or Pandora do with information from a real personal data store moves the conversation forward in ways no theoretical argument can.
There remain significant privacy issues and far too much proprietary lock-in, but for the first time, we can point to a mainstream service and say "Like that! That's what we've been talking about. But different!"

Ferndale Mayor Dave Coulter may face an unexpected challenge in his re-election bid this year from political ally and former Mayor Craig Covey.
Covey said he is testing the waters and considering a run for mayor after hearing from Ferndale residents.
He has been approached in restaurants and stores, sometimes by people he doesn�t know, he said.
�People have said, �We really miss you and � wish you would run for mayor again,�� Covey said. �Dave (Coulter) is a good guy I�ve known for decades and he does a good job. But some folks, including me, are questioning some of the decisions and directions we are taking in Ferndale.�
The filing deadline for mayor is Aug. 13. The only other officially declared candidate for Coulter�s job is Ferndale lawyer and volunteer Sherry Wells.
Coulter said he stands by his record and will campaign on it.
�Craig (Covey) is not a declared candidate at this point,� Coulter said. �My feeling is that I will run the same campaign no matter who is running and I�ll talk about what we have done in the last three years.�
There�s no question local politics have been fairly circular in the past couple years.
Coulter was appointed to the mayor�s job in Jan. 2011 after Covey left the mayoral seat following his election to Coulter�s former seat as a county commissioner. Coulter left the commission in an unsuccessful campaign for state representative.
Before his first term as a county commissioner was up, Covey had to run against fellow Democratic Commissioner Helaine Zack of Huntington Woods when Republicans combined their two districts in a redistricting plan. Covey lost the election to Zack in last year�s primary, but early this year got a job working for county Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash.
Covey was the first openly gay candidate elected mayor in the state in 2007. Coulter, who is also openly gay, said there is no division between him and Covey in that area of the political spectrum.
�I�ve worked to be a mayor that unites people, both within the LGBT community and within the community as a whole,� Coulter said.
Covey said he believes the city needs to be more frugal with taxpayer dollars. The city spent money to hire consultants for the renovations of the Ferndale court and police stations, and for a new city logo, he said.
The city is not being conservative enough with its money, Covey said.
But the issue Covey has heard most about from residents is Ferndale�s new parking system, he said.
�The new parking system they installed in February has been a huge disappointment to a lot of people,� Covey said. �It�s incredibly unpopular with residents, business owners and out-of-town visitors. I think it�s been a huge black eye for our city.�
Coulter admits there were problems with the rollout of the system to replace individual parking meters in the downtown with just more than a dozen automated pay stations.
�But we�ve worked very hard to correct the mechanical issues we had with the parking system,� he said. Coulter said he believes in the recommendations by the Downtown Development Authority that the new parking system is needed to more efficiently run operations and help raise money to create more parking spaces. Studies have shown the downtown is short about 400 parking spaces during peak times.
Coulter also stands by his fiscal record as mayor. He created a mayor�s business council to attract jobs and business to the city, he said, while keeping the city budget balanced.
�We�ve seen $35 million in non-residential investment in Ferndale in 2012,� Coulter said. �We cut $900,000 from the city budget in May. I would challenge anyone to find where we have grown any bureaucracy.�
Coulter said he still has more he wants to do as mayor and points to his initiative with volunteers to improve all city parks without using tax dollars.
At this point, Covey is unwilling to say whether he will challenge Coulter or not at the polls.
�It�s all about the city and what�s best for Ferndale,� Covey said. �If I talk to folks and find they are pretty content with the way things are, I would not throw my name on the ballot.�
Still, Covey acknowledged he has taken out nominating petitions for the mayoral race from the City Clerk�s office and is collecting signatures.

JANESVILLE (WIFR) -- On December 4, 2012, Detective Mark Johnson arrested Travis Boerschinger for numerous counts of theft from person and attempted theft from a person.
The arrests stem from a series of purse snatchings that occurred on Janesville's north side business district at the beginning of October.
The thefts occurred at: Sam's Club, Movies 16, Americas Best Value Inn, Woodman's, Boston Store, Walmart and Shopko.
Boerschinger is currently in custody at the Rock County Jail and has been charged with 7 counts of theft from a person and 2 attempted thefts from a person.
The Janesville Police has also released a few safety tips to keep in mind during the busy shopping and holiday season:
• Stay in well lit areas
• Avoid secluded areas.
• Avoid shortcuts through alleys or vacant lots.
• Look around as you walk and always be aware of your surroundings; trust your instincts.
• If you carry a purse, hold it close to your body. "Fanny-Packs" keep your personal items close to you while keeping your hands free. Don't risk your safety/life for your personal property.
• Try to limit the number of packages you carry.
• Don't wear headphones as they can inhibit your ability to hear someone approach you.
• Carry a cell phone if available and report suspicious activity immediately to police

Coastal development problems: Towns & cities
The construction of general infrastructure such as roads, homes, shops, factories, airports, and ports completely replaces natural habitats. In addition, estuaries, deltas, and their rivers are often dredged and deepened to cope with increased shipping.
Added to this are impacts such as increased erosion due to coastal development, increased pollution, and increased boat traffic - all of which lead to further habitat loss and put increased pressure on marine species.
Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila, and Honolulu, for example, once had thriving coral reefs. But these have been destroyed by human pressures, largely from coastal development.
Dams, dykes, and other developments
In many places, dams and dykes have been constructed to protect coastal towns, cities, and farmland from storm surges and high tides. This is particularly the case for reclaimed or drained land. However, these constructions destroy natural coastal dynamics and functions, as well as rare habitats like salt marshes.
Other coastal developments can also harm sensitive marine habitats and species. For example, while WWF promotes wind power, we recognize that poorly planned wind farms may affect the migration, resting, and breeding of some bird species. In addition, poorly planned wind farms may increase shipping risks.

E3 2005: Super Mario Strikers Impressions
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Nintendo Gamecube, Sports,
Super Mario Strikers is one of the four new titles which Mario and his crew will be making an appearance in this year. We got our hands on this game, and although it was an early build, it is thoroughly enjoyable. In fact, I am willing to say that this is the greatest Mario sports title ever, period. In this build, two teams were available - Mario and Donkey Kong. Each team captain has a few Koopa Troopa's or Toad-like teammates. Now, the soccer mechanics are just great. If you remember Sega Soccer Slam, I would say that the actual soccer game actually plays a bit better in Strikers. Of course, it wouldn't be a Mario title if there weren't some twists. Unlike what you will find in the latest iteration of Mario Tennis on the Gamecube, the power-ups and distractions in Strikers don't seem too gimmicky.

The Fish Stick Frying Pan

It is stuff like this that convinces me that the world is going downhill fast - but that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy it. Case in point, this Fish Stick Frying Pan. I mean, you look at it and you can just tell that you won't be able to use this for anything but fish sticks - it is both sad and exciting all at once.

E3 2005: Killer 7
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: First Person Shooters, Nintendo Gamecube, PlayStation 2,
Killer7 from Capcom has been announced and is one of the highly anticipated titles of E3 this year mainly due to that fact that this is the second cell shaded first person shooter game to be released. XIII was the first FPS that was cell shaded, but Killer 7 has a unique twist to it. In the game you are Harman Smith, an assassin who is the dominate consciousness over 7 different personalities. Switching between his seven different personalities, Harman employs each personality's unique abilities to complete their mission. Using each personalities unique abilities, you must destroy creatures released by a kingpin crime boss and make your way to him to end the criminal madness. You can switch through any of the 7 personalities during gameplay to reach your goal. Killer 7 will be released in June 2005 for the PS2 and Gamecube.

Never Be Disrespectful To Prospects
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Planning,
I just read a great example of how to not grow your company and maintain good rapport with potential clients. Unfortunately, I have seen it too many times. If you are trying to sell a product or service, you need to know that you will more than likely not be the only one selling it. Based on this fact, you will win some - and you will lose some. The key is to be gracious in defeat. If you are trying to pitch to someone, and they choose a competitor, always let them know that you appreciated their consideration of your services. You never know - they may choose to go with you in the future. Whatever you do, do not become another statistic:
One finalist in the process replied with a snide comment to me after I informed the firm that I was moving forward with someone else. I thanked him for his time, and he replied with a curt email that read, simply:
"even though you wasted it."
That's simply bad form.
As you can imaging, this service provider will not be getting a return call - no matter how good his work may be.

Apple Recalls PowerBook Batteries
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News, PC / Laptop,
Apple is voluntarily recalling certain lithium-ion rechargeable batteries that were sold worldwide, in systems and separately, between October 2004 and May 2005 which are used in 12-inch iBook G4, 12-inch PowerBook G4, and 15-inch PowerBook G4 notebooks. Looks like the batteries are overheating and posing fire hazards Xbox style. If your laptop battery includes model numbers A1061, A1078, and A1079 and serial numbers that begin with HQ441 through HQ507 and 3X446 through 3X510, you may want to go for the trade. Don't worry - they send first.

E3 2005: Teen Titans Comes To Consoles
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: Action, Nintendo Gamecube, PlayStation 2, Xbox,
I'm a big fan of the comic and show Teen Titans and Majesco has brought them to the console world. Not much of the story has been revealed, but we know that the game includes more than 10 of the villains from the series including Slade, Cinderblock, Jinx, and more. You start off with the standard Titans team: Raven, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin, but you can also unlock at least 10 more characters. You can switch between which Titan you want to play as in real time, which is good because each Titan has unique abilities. There is a multi-player mode where you can either do Co-Op or up to 4 player versus. I haven't gotten a chance to play the game yet, but from what we've seen it looks promising. Teen Titans will be on Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube and is scheduled for release early 2006.
AOL Raises Prices A Month After Lowering Them
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News, Internet,
You know, this is the kind of thing that just proves that AOL really has lost its over the last, oh, 12 years or so. Recently, they dropped their prices in an effort to gain more subscribers since people are leaving them in droves. Hell, they even started selling their own branded PC with the AOL service thrown in! So, they dropped the dial-up price from $24 to $20, and their BYOA plan from $15 to $10. Ready for the best part? This price hike brings the prices back up to where they were - and the lower prices weren't even in effect for a full month! It's things like this that put a smile on my face.

Gizmondo To Launch In US On August 11
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Handhelds, Video Games,
The Gizmondo multi-entertainment handheld device has finally received a firm United States launch date. You can expect to be able to pick one up on August 11, 2005. I have been messing around with it at E3, and personally I am not too impressed with the unit. I mean, it's cool that there are some GPS-enabled games and all, but one can only have so many handheld devices. The Gizmondo seems to be a jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none.

Thanks everyone! We spoke tonight and are simply going to head south after work so I can just bring her back to her car at the end of the night. I should mention that through work we have teamed up on projects before, so we know each other well enough that the usual "have a way out" isn't really a concern (well, apparently not, since I offered a few options and she said she could just ride down with me so we can talk).So we'll have the date and I'll bring her back to the office to get her car. I promise I'll be a perfect gentleman. :-) I appreciate the input! Wish me luck.

Now that we have finally freed ourselves from the icy grip of Old Man Winter, we can look forward to the joys of spring — the first warm weather, the first flowers "� and the first sneeze of allergies! For children, allergies come in many forms. Allergies can be as irritating as a little sniffle or dangerous enough to cause problems breathing.
Now that we have finally freed ourselves from the icy grip of Old Man Winter, we can look forward to the joys of spring — the first warm weather, the first flowers "� and the first sneeze of allergies! For children, allergies come in many forms. Allergies can be as irritating as a little sniffle or dangerous enough to cause problems breathing.
The kind of allergies that most people associate with is called allergic rhinitis or hay fever. Allergic rhinitis affects 10 percent of U.S. children age 17 and younger.
The symptoms of allergic rhinitis include nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing and coughing. It can be caused by pollen from trees, molds, grasses or weeds, but it can also be caused by dust, animal hair and dander, cigarette smoke and other environmental causes.
Some children usually get allergies only in certain seasons, such as spring or fall, but other less fortunate children can have these symptoms all year around.
There are other kinds of allergies, for example, through certain foods such as eggs, milk or shellfish. The most common food is peanuts, followed by milk, then shellfish. As many as 8 percent of all U.S. children have allergies to some kind of food.
Some children can have allergies to certain medications, especially antibiotics such as penicillin. More commonly, they can have an allergy to the stings of bees, wasps and other insects. When they have an allergic reaction, children can get an itchy rash called urticaria, or hives, all over their body. Sometimes they can have swelling in their throat and face in a condition called angioedema. Rarely, their symptoms can be very severe with low-blood pressure and difficulty breathing, in a condition called anaphylaxis.
Allergies can be diagnosed through blood tests that look for certain antibodies associated with allergies called IgE. They can also be evaluated with special skin tests that are usually performed by specialists called allergists.
Allergies can be controlled in many ways. Some children take daily medications, such as antihistamines by mouth or intranasal steroid medications. Others with more severe allergies may need to be slowly desensitized to their allergic triggers through a series of injections called immunotherapy. When a child has an acute allergic reaction, he may benefit from a fast-acting antihistamine such as Benadryl. Very severe allergic reactions, such as anaphylaxis, may respond to injectable medications such as epinephrine, which people sometimes carry with them.
The best way to deal with allergies is to avoid their causes altogether. But for most children this is impossible. How can you tell a child that he/she can't go outside because of the trees or out of fear of bee stings?
The best way to deal with this problem is to identify your child's allergic triggers and respond accordingly. Speak to your child's pediatrician about whether they need regular medication during their allergic season or perhaps to have an injectable medicine, such as epinephrine, available in case of a severe reaction. Most importantly, you must know when you should take your child to the hospital, such as when he/she has trouble breathing or swelling the face or neck.
With proper preparation, springtime, or any time for that matter, will be fun for your child.
Emmanuel Martakis, M.D., is a board-certified pediatrician on staff at Middletown Community Healthcare Center Inc.'s Port Jervis Center for Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, OB/GYN and Dental Care.

|General information
|Central Eriador, between the Far Downs and the Tower Hills
The Westmarch of the Shire was land that lay between the Far Downs and the Tower Hills in Eriador, west of and originally outside of the Shire. The only known town in this new district was Undertowers.[1]
In S.R. 1452, the Westmarch was given to the Shire-hobbits as a gift from King Elessar.[1]
At the request of Mayor Samwise, Thain Peregrin I made Fastred of Greenholm the first Warden of Westmarch in S.R. 1455.[1]
The Warden kept the Red Book of Westmarch as an heirloom of the Fairbairn Family. It was long preserved at Undertowers and was the most important source for the history of the War of the Ring.[2]

QUEENS — Dozens of mourners gathered in Sunnyside Tuesday to bid a tearful goodbye to the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, including the school's principal and a student with ties to the tight-knit Queens community.
Sunnyside residents who knew Principal Dawn Hochsprung, 47, and Benjamin Andrew Wheeler, 6 — both of whom were killed in Friday's massacre in Newtown, Conn. — attended a candlelight vigil Tuesday evening to not only bid farewell to the victims but also recall fond memories of their vibrant lives.
Benjamin's parents, Francine and David Wheeler, lived in Sunnyside before moving to Newtown. They were active members of local Sunnyside Gardens Park and part of a close-knit group of young neighborhood parents who met regularly for celebrations and play dates.
Benjamin was just 7 months old when the family moved. But neighbors and friends remember him as a smiling tot, beloved by his two doting parents and his big brother, Nate.
"He was a very beautiful little boy, very sweet," said friend Jennifer Busnel. "It was just devastating to hear."
Hochsprung, meanwhile, had a stepsister, Nicole Perkins-Isleib, who lives in Queens. The principal was killed while trying to stop gunman Adam Lanza from continuing his rampage, according to reports.
"It's been easier knowing there were so many heroes involved, including my sister," Perkins-Isleib said at Tuesday night's vigil. "Everything you're reading and seeing about her in the news is totally true. She was so dedicated to her whole family, and all of her students."
At the vigil, the crowd — many of them families with small children, and many pushing baby strollers — met at Sunnyside Reform Church on Skillman Avenue and marched in a solemn procession through the streets, clutching small candles in the cold.
As they walked, children in the group carried pictures of the Wheeler family: Benjamin in a Cub Scouts uniform, holding his mother's hand; Benjamin and his big brother making silly faces for the camera; a pregnant Francine Wheeler in a bathing suit at the beach.
The march culminated at Sunnyside Gardens Park, a regular meeting point for young neighborhood parents, including Francine and David Wheeler. Years ago, the original members of the "Sunnymoms" — of which Francine, a musician who writes and records children's music, was a founding member — had thrown a baby shower for her when she was pregnant with Benjamin.
As many in the crowd wiped away tears, family friend Gretchen Armstrong took the microphone to read a letter written by Francine Wheeler, who was told about the vigil and wanted to thank the community for its support.
"Sunnyside was our first home as a family, and we will never forget the good times we shared, the friendships that blossomed and most of all, the love and laughter that surrounded us," the letter said.
Though Benjamin was too young to remember Sunnyside, the neighborhood was a part of his life, his mother wrote.
"He rode the 7 train every time we visited New York. He was more interested in the subways than the museums and the zoos. And because he always wanted to do everything his brother did, he decided he knew Sunnyside, and pretended that he remembered," the letter read.
"Please think of Ben with a smile as you go on with your daily lives. When you see dinosaur exhibits or subway trains, elevators, pianos — we recently discovered he had perfect pitch — or anything you think a vivacious 6-year-old would love," Francine Wheeler wrote.
"We hope he will be with you in your hearts, as he continues to live in ours."
The group that was so dear to Francine has blossomed over the years, organizers said, from just a handful of parents to several hundred today, with members exchanging messages online through Yahoo! Groups.
"We all had kids around the same age, and we bonded," said Roger Hitts, a friend of Francine and David Wheeler. "Our kids learned how to play together."
Beyond the heartbreak, the vigil provided an opportunity to reflect on the days of innocence and bliss.
"I will forever remember the baby shower we had here at the park, right over there where the trees are," Hitts said.
He recalled the group had chipped in to buy the couple a fancy baby stroller with "all the bells and whistles."
When they presented the stroller to Francine Wheeler, she was so moved "she burst into tears," Hitts remembered.
"Looking back now," he said, "it was truly one of the best times of our lives."

Except I want to sort for handle-caching purposes. It doesn't count as the same handle if keys/values are in a different order, so I sort. No, I'm not sure if the benefit of caching outweights the cost of sorting. I'll let someone else benchmark. Probably depends on the database anyway :)
Update:Umm, I DID use prepare_cached :) DBI won't do the hard work for me, though, unless I make sure the statement stays the same. And the statement won't stay the same unless I sort the field names (DBI's prepared_cached uses the entire SQL statement as a hash key). It also helps, though, to keep statements the same so that the db itself (well, some db's) can cache the statement w/o re-parsing the statement over several executions of the same script (not as efficient as perl/DBI caching, but every bit helps.
I did not know you could do that join that way w/o map though :)

With the UFC 167 right around the corner, now is the perfect time to predict just what's going to happen at the show.
Let's take a look:
Donald Cerrone vs Evan Dunham
Both Cerrone and Dunham have both been close to a title shot in their careers. However lately they have come on a downfall. A win for either would surge them towards a title shot again.
The pair have both lost to very good fighters lately - Rafael Dos Anjos is a common defeat, whereas Cerrone was TKOd by UFC Lightweight Champion Anthony Pettis and Dunham to top contender TJ Grant.
The difference between the two is recent wins. Cerrone has beaten better fighters in Melvin Guillard (who has beat Dunham) and KJ Noons. Dunham on the other hand only has victories over the likes of Nik Lentz who has now dropped to Featherweight and Gleison Tibau by split decision.
'The Cowboy' seems a lot more well rounded than Dunham, having a perfect kickboxing record along with excellent wrestling.
This fight could definitely be Fight of the Night, with two fighters who love to stand and bang. However I feel that Cerrone's length and striking will get the better of Dunham in the exchanges and go on to grab the decision win
Cerrone via Decision
Ed Herman vs Thales Leites
Leites was cut from the UFC very harshly after a split decision loss to Alessio Sakara and previously fought Anderson Silva for the Middleweight title. He came back into the promotion and scored an impressive victory over the very handy Tom Watson.
Herman too has looked good since his 'return' to the UFC after his long injury out. He's unbeaten in the UFC since he came back and is was sent to Strikeforce for one bout to meet former Strikeforce MW Champion Ronaldo Souza
Since moving to Nova Uniao, Leites has improved his stand up, which will be the key in the fight. His Jiu-Jotsu has always been spectacular and it's whether Herman who has the wrestling pedigree will want to take it to the ground.
Leites will get the better of Herman on the feet and cause 'Short Fuse' to shoot for an untidy takedown, leaving his neck open and letting Leites grab the choke.
Leities via 2nd round guillotine choke.
Brian Ebersole vs Rick Story
Story had a massive hype around him when he beat former Welterweight title contender Thaigo Alves. However he was soon brought back down to earth, losing to Charlie Brennaman and then Martin Kampmann.
Ebersole recently suffered his first UFC loss in a split decision to James Head. Previously he had looked very impressive after he upset Chris Lytle on debut and is 4-1 with the UFC.
Story definitely has the slight advantage in the wrestling department and should get Ebersole down a few times.
However on the feet I think Ebersole, especially training in Thailand, will land a lot of kicks and slow 'The Horror' down. Ebersole should punish his opponent on the feet and defend the takedown enough times to have his hand raised.
Ebersole via Decision
Eric Perez vs Edwin Figueroa
This is a must win for Figueroa, who is lucky to still be in the promotion. He's 2-3, with his win against Alex Caceres coming due to a 2 point deduction.
Perez on the other hand is a great prospect at Bantamweight. He's just 23 and is 3-1 in the UFC, with his last loss coming via split decision to veteran Takeya Mizugaki.
This should be a straight forward win for Perez as he meets an opponent who is not at the same level as him.
Perez via 1st round T/KO
Jason High vs Anthony Lapsley
People seem to be counting Lapsley out early in this fight. Yet, he has a decent record, including a controversial loss to veteran Jay Hieron.
High is famous for his guillotine when his opponent shoots for a takedown. However I think Lapsley is too experienced to fall for this trap. It'll be a back and forth fight but Lapsley's experience will come in. I'm calling the upset.
Lapsley via Decision
Will Campuzano vs Sergio Pettis
The brother of UFC Lightweight Champion Anthony Pettis makes his awaited UFC debut and meets a late replacement in Campuzano.
Don't expect a mirage of flashy kicks from Sergio in this fight, as he is a lot more 'old-fashioned' as a fighter.
If Campuzano had longer to prepare, I think this would be a close contest. However his two weeks won't be enough to compete with the youngster.
Pettis via Decision
Gian Villante vs Cody Donovan
Donovan has very limited stand up and relies on his ground game. Villante excels on the feet and is too a blackbelt in BJJ.
I can't see this one lasting long. They both lost to Ovince St. Preux in their last fight each. The difference is Villante competed whereas Donovan was KOd in the first round. Expect the same outcome here and to see Donovan cut from the UFC.
Villante via 1st round T/KO (KO of the Night)

Women who deal with gestational diabetes in their first or second pregnancy are far more likely to develop the condition again in their third pregnancy, according to a new study from Kaiser Permanente that examined the electronic medical records of 65,132 women. The study was published online in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology last month.
Gestational diabetes, an expectant mother's temporary battle with high blood sugar, complicates some seven percent of U.S. pregnancies. It poses a host of risks to both mother and child, including eventual development of type 2 diabetes and early delivery for the mothers. For children, it can lead to obesity and diabetes of their own.
The study examined both the recurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the effect of racial and ethic factors on its recurrence. Among the notable findings: Mothers with GDM in their first pregnancy but not in their second had a much higher risk of developing it in their third pregnancy: That risk was an eye-popping 630 percent higher than for women without a diabetes history. Women with the disease in both their first and second pregnancies had an even higher risk for their third.
Women who had GDM in their first pregnancy had a 41.3 percent chance of developing it in their second, compared with a 4.2 percent chance for women without the disease history. In addition, Hispanic and Asian Pacific Islander women had a higher diabetes recurrence risk than white women.
"Because of the silent nature of gestational diabetes, it is important to identify early those who are at risk and watch them closely during their prenatal care," said Darios Getahun of the Kaiser Permanente Southern California Department of Research & Evaluation, and the study's lead author. "Well-controlled gestational diabetes may prevent complications that result in fetal and maternal morbidity, such as high blood pressure during pregnancy, urinary tract infections, cesarean delivery, big babies, birth trauma, and a variety of other adverse outcomes."
Kaiser Permanente's findings underscore the importance of informing pregnant women about the risks of gestational diabetes recurring and the need to find ways to treat the condition effectively.
"Clinicians should be aware and counsel potential pregnant women about their increased risk and that early detection and initiation of treatment is important because unrecognized or untreated gestational diabetes is likely to lead to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes," Getahun said.
Kaiser Permanente is conducting ongoing research into gestational diabetes and ways to treat and reduce it. Earlier findings linked expectant mothers' weight gain to the development of GDM. Another study found that treating gestational diabetes in mothers reduced their children's obesity risk.

Amazon's Bezos hits out at Google over books deal
Saucer of milk for table ten
Posted in Policy, 16th June 2009 09:07 GMT
Jeff Bezos, chief executive of Amazon.com, has called for Google's book digitisation project to be sent back to regulators.
Amazon, and its Kindle digital book device, are right in the centre of Google's crosshairs as it starts to turn its digital book archive into a business.
Bezos was asked what he thought of Google's digital book moves at the Wired Business Conference.
He said: "We have strong opinions about that issue which I'm not going to share. But, clearly, that settlement in our opinion needs to be revisited and it is being revisited...it doesn't seem right that you should do something, kind of get a prize for violating a large series of copyrights,".
Several groups have criticised the settlement between copyright holders and Google because it gives Google rights over "orphan works" - books whose authors cannot be found.
But even if he is worried about Google the Kindle seems to be doing pretty well all on its own.
Bezos said that of the 300,000 books available digitally on the Kindle or as physical books sales for the Kindle now account for 35 per cent of total sales - a figure he described as startling.
He said it was only since using the Kindle that he became aware of the failings of old-style books. He said books: "had a great 500-year run. It's an unbelievably successful technology. But it's time to change.", according to the Wall Street Journal. ®

Sai: (thinking) Is friendship and love this strong?! Going all the way to a foreign country just to talk to Naruto?! And Naruto… all these years devoted to bring back Sasuke… Is it so much worthy of such effort?!
Sakura: (returning to the tent) Sai, can you come with us?! With your birds the travel would be so much faster!
Sai: I can't leave the village…
Sakura: Forget about Danzou. By now, he might have seen Naruto, so what's the use?!
Sai: But…
Sakura: Stop complaining! Let's go!
Sai: (thinking) Forgive me, Danzou-sama (he exits the tent. Outside, he picks up a scroll and starts to paint. He conjures 3 ink birds. Kiba, Shino and Hinata are farther away from perspective)

Shino: Where are they going at a time like this?!
Kiba: I don't have a clue, do you Hinata?
Hinata: M-maybe their going after N-Naruto-kun…
Kiba: Uh? Why do you think so?
Hinata: (blushes) I-I wanted to talk with N-Naruto-kun, but I couldn't find him…
Shino: Maybe he left the village and went to the Kage Summit.
Hinata: M-maybe you're right…
Shino: So, what are you waiting for, Hinata?!
Hinata: F-for what?!
Kiba: To go with them. You wanted to talk with Naruto, right?
Hinata: (blushes even more) I-I…
Kiba: Just go, you silly.
Hinata: T-thanks, guys… (she starts to run towards the birds, that were almost lifting off the ground) W-wait up!!
Shikamaru: Hinata?!
Hinata: I-I want to go too, b-because…
Shikamaru: (smiling) I know. (to Sai) Can you conjure another bird?
Sai: Sure. (one more bird is conjured)
Hinata: T-thanks, Sai-kun.
Sakura: (thinking) Poor Hinata, Naruto still didn't talked to her after the invasion… I hope he doesn't break her heart. (Hinata rides a bird and the groups lifts off)
(Kage Scene)
(Naruto is in the room; Sasuke is still staring at him, and the Kages are still behind a sand wall burning with Amaterasu)
Sasuke: Look who's here. Theres's no party without you getting in the middle, is there?
Naruto: SASUKE! Stop this madness!
Sasuke: Madness?! You think I'll let that rat called Danzou unpunished for what he did?! He made my brother assassinate all the Uchiha clan, you know how it makes me feel?! You don't know!
Naruto: I… (Kakashi and Yamato enter)
Sasuke: Kakashi-sensei… it's been a long while…
Kakashi: Sasuke…
Yamato: Kakashi-senpai, the Amaterasu!
Kakashi: Right!
Sasuke: How rude of you, disregarding me already. (Sasuke turns to Kakashi and Yamato)
Naruto: DON'T TELL ME I DON'T KNOW!
Sasuke: Uh?! (stares at Naruto)
Naruto: (closes his eyes) I… I know what it feels to lose a person dear to me. (Jiraiya and Minato's faces appear in the background) Ero-sennin died in the hands of Pein! The same Pein that was bent in a path of revenge, just like you! (Kakashi and Yamato start to use Fuuka Houin) And he was in that path because of a deal between Hanzou of the Rain and Danzou! If it wasn't for Danzou, Pein would never be an avenger, would never form Akatsuki and Konoha would never be destroyed! Because of him, Fukasaku-sensei and Kakashi-sensei were dead for moments! (Amaterasu is nullified, the sand shield wears off, exposing the Kages; Naruto opens his eyes in tears, revealing Sage Mode)
Sasuke: (thinking) What are those freaky eyes?!
Naruto: Because of him, Hinata almost died! If there's someone who entitled to take revenge on him, it's me! But I won't. This cycle of hatred must be stopped, or this world will never achieve peace! Danzou must answer for his crimes, but not with revenge! (Danzou looks at the floor, the other Kages stare at him coldly) Look what revenge done to you! Your mind became so twisted… you forgot about us. You're not the only suffering, me, Sakura, Kakashi, everyone in Konoha is suffering because of you! I know you're not that selfish, Sasuke…
Sasuke: Such moving words, Naruto. I would cry if they touched me… but you won't change my mind. That coward will meet his fate now! Since you figured out my Amaterasu…
Kakashi: EVERYONE, GET OUT! (everyone gets out, Kakashi grabs Naruto by force)
Naruto: LET ME GO! (Yamato and Mizukage stay at the corridor)
Sasuke: Katon: Gouryuuka no Jutsu!*(flames in the shape of a dragon flies on the top of the room; Yamato performs the Boar, Dog and Ram hand seals, while Mizukage performs the Serpent hand seal)
Mizukage: Suiton: Bakusui Shouha! **
Yamato: Suiton: Hahonryuu! ***
(The Summit's building explodes, some debris fly towards the group, resting outside=
Gaara: I'll handle it! (a sand shield surrounds the group, protecting them from the debris; Yamato and Mizukage arrive near the shield shortly after)
Yamato: Are you okay?!
Gaara: Don't worry, we're fine. (the sand shield vanishes; a lot of steam comes out of the ruins, along with water pouring out, soaking the group's feet.)
Kankurou: Do you think he's dead?!
Ao: I wouldn't bet on that… Byakugan! (he searches the ruins, he senses Sasuke's chakra) He's there, alive.
(An ominous laugh comes out the ruins; as the steam dissipates, it reveals an wet, cloakless Sasuke)
Naruto: Sasuke…
Sasuke: How kind of you, Yamato, Mizukage-sama, to perform such lovely Suiton jutsus against my Katon… not only it helped me acquire the thundercloud I needed, the water is at your feet.
White Zetsu: (with his head sticking out of an wall, thinking) Is he going to use that again? Is he that mad?!
Kakashi: (thinking) A thundercloud?! (looks up; a giant thundercloud is floating above them, roaring with thunder inside it) Is he using it… for a Raiton jutsu?!
Sasuke: (jumps to a still dry rock) Disappear with the thunder.

(Sakura Scene)
(Sakura, Sai, Shikamaru and Hinata are flying in their birds; the Three Wolves Mountains are visible)
Shikamaru: According to my data, the Land of Iron is just ahead of us. Look, the Three Wolves.
Sai: Is that… a thundercloud, near those mountains?!
Shikamaru: What?! That's odd for a cloudless sky…
Hinata: Byakugan! (She investigates the cloud) It's a cloud moulded with chakra!
Sakura: A cloud… with chakra?
(The thundercloud roars, Kirin is unleashed)
Sakura: What was that?!
Hinata: For a moment… I saw a giant beast, made of lightning!
Shikamaru: A Raiton jutsu?! It must be…
Sakura: Sasuke…
Sakura & Hinata: (terrified) Naruto!

A recipe that brings the end of summer harvest together with fresh corn, zucchini and basil in a creamy, luscious pasta dish. Given my love of fresh corn I knew the moment I laid eyes on this pesto recipe in bon appetit that I would be making it in some form or another. In the back of my mind was this subtle craving for zucchini noodles mixed with long pasta that was patiently waiting for the right recipe to come along. This was perfect for it.
The pesto is made with quickly sauteed corn and garlic along with walnuts or pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil. The pasta water is crucial for loosening up the pesto and turning it into a smooth sauce that will coat your noodles evenly. I found that it didn't quite need all the pesto, so you can get two dishes out of one. I'll post a recipe tomorrow using the leftovers.
The zucchini ribbons add a pop of freshness and lightness that balances out the rich and creamy sauce. The bacon is just as crucial as the pasta water for bringing out the flavor in the corn. It ties the whole dish together and really makes it sing. It's salty, succulent, sweet, and savory all at the same time making it seriously satisfying. I urge you to make this while there's still fresh corn and zucchini to be found in the market. It's extra special and completely delicious!
Zucchini and Linguine with Bacon Corn Pesto
(adapted from Bon Appetit)
6 slices bacon
4 cups corn, fresh cut from about 6 ears
4 garlic cloves, minced, evenly divided
1 1/4 teaspoons sea or coarse kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, fresh grated, plus more for serving
1/3 cup walnuts or pine nuts, toasted
1/3 cup + 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/3 -1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces linguine (like Barila whole grain)
1-2 tablespoons Olive oil
2 medium zucchini, cut in ribbons using a potato peeler or mandolin
1. Cook bacon in a large skillet until crispy and brown, set aside on paper towels to drain. Drain grease from skillet all but 1 tablespoon. Over medium-low heat add corn, garlic, salt and pepper sautéing until corn is tender but not browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer 1 and 1/2 cups corn to small bowl and set aside. Add remaining corn to the bowl of a food processor along with Parmesan, pine nuts and 1/3 cup basil. With machine running, add olive oil through feed tube and blend until pesto is almost smooth, set aside.
2. Start the pasta water cooking in a large pot of boiling salted water cooking until al dente and reserving 1 and 1/2 cups of the pasta water. Meanwhile in the same skillet heat 1 to 2 tablespoons over medium-low heat, add garlic and zucchini ribbons saute about 5 minutes just until zucchini starts to break down and becomes tender.
3. Drain pasta and return to pot. Add half of the corn pesto and corn kernels, tossing over low heat until warmed through, adding reserved pasta water by 1/4 cupfuls and additional corn pesto if needed until you get a smooth thin consistency and all the noodles are coated evenly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup basil leaves over top and serve with a sprinkle of bacon crumbles and Parmesan cheese.
