Jon Scheyer's return to Duke as a special assistant shouldn't surprise anyone, considering Mike Krzyzewski has long stocked his coaching cabinet with former players. But Scheyer's transition to coaching came a little quicker than he hoped.
An eye poke—something that happens frequently in basketball yet rarely results in anything but the affected player blinking out the pain—changed the course of Scheyer's basketball life.
Just three months after helping Duke win its fourth national title in 2010, and just two games into the NBA's summer league season, Scheyer was inadvertently poked in the right eye by Golden State's Joe Ingles, and blindness immediately set in.
"I knew it was really bad," Scheyer said. "I think my whole body went into shock." Some of the sight returned within hours, but not all of it.
He suffered optic nerve damage, a slight tear in his retina and a scratched cornea. The latter two could heal with a doctor's attention, but no surgery can improve the optic nerve.
So now Scheyer sees out of half of his right eye. What he can see in the eye comes in at 20/400, legal blindness. That didn't stop Scheyer from pursuing his dream of playing in the NBA—a dream that took him through months of relearning every part of his game to deal with depth perception issues, and eventually took him overseas for two seasons.
"I'm very proud of what I've been able to accomplish with that," Scheyer said. "It's been a continuing process. Mentally and physically, it took a lot of hours in the gym just to get my skill back."
Scheyer's eye injury wasn't the only medical issue he had blocking his path to the NBA. He played the most minutes in ACC history in 2009-10, and he lost weight during the season because of it. On top of that, he contracted mono after the season and lost 15-20 more pounds.
He went undrafted but worked hard to rebuild his strength, and he got a shot to play with the Miami Heat's summer league team. And then the eye poke happened. He concedes now that it cost him a shot at the NBA career he very much wanted.
"I'm gonna say yes (to that assertion)," Scheyer said. "I would say it was a definite uphill battle, no question. It was an uphill battle to begin with, and that made it even more of an uphill battle."
But as his days at Duke showed, Scheyer is a worker, not a quitter. His tireless efforts in the gym—"trying to shoot with my bad eye, trying to shoot with my good eye, dribbling and doing everything, just trying to get a feel back passing"—in the following months eventually landed him a spot with Rio Grande Valley, the Houston Rockets' D-League team, in early 2011.

In 24 games, he averaged a respectable 13.1 points and 4.0 assists. But further NBA opportunities did not come, so he took his game across the Atlantic Ocean, where he played for Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel in 2011-12, and then for Spain's Gran Canaria 2014 this past season, where he averaged 5.6 points on 31 percent shooting—10 percentage points less than what he averaged in four years at Duke. His free-throw shooting percentage over the two seasons was 69 percent, a striking drop from the 84 percent he averaged from the stripe in any of his four seasons at Duke.
Nonetheless, that's damn good for a player with essentially monocular vision, but it also was not entirely fulfilling either, especially for a player who was a consensus All-American in his senior season at Duke, averaging 18.2 points.
Scheyer's time overseas did come with benefits, however. He learned nuances of the game he wouldn't have otherwise, and the time away from friends and family got him to assess life goals.
"For me, I always dreamed about having a great professional career as well as a collegiate career, and I think this opportunity by myself has made me realize that I want to be back in what I'm most passionate about," Scheyer said. "And that's the college basketball ranks and being able to give the most impact. That's something that I would enjoy most, and having a family.
"You have to weigh everything in perspective when you're overseas and by yourself. It's hard, and it's not for everybody. It's something where I've grown a lot as a person in what I want, and being overseas the last three years has really helped me."
His break came when Duke needed an assistant after Chris Collins left to take the head coaching job at Northwestern. Krzyzewski elevated Nate James to a full assistant role, creating an entry-level spot for Scheyer.
Krzyzewski brims with pride in having Scheyer join his staff.
"Jon Scheyer is one of the amazing champions we've had in this program and he's certainly one of the greatest young men to ever wear the Duke uniform," Krzyzewski said when the hiring was announced. "He's universally loved by Duke fans. It is incredibly exciting to be part of his journey to become a coach."
Getting the job could pave the way for Scheyer to become a head coach. Former Duke players-turned Blue Devils assistants Johnny Dawkins (Stanford), Tommy Amaker (Harvard) and Collins are currently heading their own programs, and Quin Snyder (Missouri) has had his turn running his own team. Jeff Capel started his coaching career outside of Durham, getting head coaching gigs at VCU and Oklahoma before returning to Duke as an assistant. It's clear that learning from a Hall of Fame coach has its advantages. But Scheyer has earned his opportunity, and like always, he'll be working to get better.
"Of course I want to be a head coach one day, but really, I've always felt as a player, when I came into college as a freshman, I tried not to think about the next step before being really being good at the current thing," Scheyer said. "So for me, my main goal is to just be as great as I can in this position I'm in this year."
Scheyer's duties will include developing game strategies, breaking down game film and planning practices. For a point guard who played a good game and thought it just as well, the role is a great fit, especially when he's working for the coach that recruited him nearly 10 years ago out of Northbrook, Ill.
"The chain of events that's happened, it's pretty cool how it leads you now to be able to be on his staff with him," Scheyer said. "I know I have a lot of hard work ahead of me, and those are all things that I'm ready to do."
One very different thing from when Scheyer was last in town is that the ACC will add three new members this season in Notre Dame, Syracuse and Pitt. He's curious and excited to be part of a conference with more competition. One thing he won't miss, perhaps, is games at Maryland, where Terrapins fans loved to hate him. Maryland is heading to the Big Ten as part of conference realignment.
"I'm very popular at Maryland," Scheyer quipped. "J.J. (Redick) is probably the most popular ever, but I think at Maryland, I gave J.J. a run for his money. I think they're more sad (about the breakup) than I am."
In returning to campus, Scheyer will see an appreciative community ready to welcome him back. And he'll see lines at the DMV when he gets his driver's license. And he'll see a Duke roster considered to be a top-10 team in 2013-14.
Life is much clearer now to Scheyer, even though he has just one good eye from which to view it.

Sailing Alliance International
I am an entrepreneur and an avid sailor. I live in Australia and love to race yachts and am actively involved in sailing club and race management. I am looking at taking my experience and expertise to the next level and I'm creating a brand new education company to help others learn to sail or learn to race, as well as help sailing / yacht clubs with their education materials. I will provide trainings, multi-media courses, books, etc.
I'm looking for you to have fun and get creative with this logo design.
Sailing is a sport that fully engages the elements and sailors relate to this - just like you do as a designer when you create. It is competitive and high tech and I would like my logo to be high-tech as well so it stands out above the rest and leaves a lasting impression.
This is an education company providing a website, multi-media courses, books, trainings, tools, etc. to essentially two target markets:
Sailors - both beginners and advanced: (who want to learn to sail, learn performance sailing, racing both dinghy's and yachts.). Need to appeal to a wide age range (children through to senior adults).
Clubs/Associations/Sailing Schools: (who want products and programs to provide to their customers)
The logo needs to appeal to dinghy and yacht sailors as well as sailing / yacht clubs.
The target market is worldwide and is not geographically limited.
I'm looking for a high-tech / contemporary logo (image) with company name
I intend to fully brand all of my marketing collateral with this logo and I'm looking to build a long-term relationship with the winning designer to help me move forward with other related designs.
I am looking for an iconic image and my company name 'Sailing Alliance International' as part of the design.
The logo should include the following:
- Contemporary, high-tech, but more than just a simple shape.
- Prefer abstract image of sails/boat
- Design can show 2 or 3 sails (no less)
- I want to convey a safe, fast, modern high-tech look.
- No cartoon or outlandish 'flashy' coloring... want classy upmarket and professional look while clearly a sporting image.
- Modern/Contemporary - not too fancy
- No script or calligraphy
- Bold clear writing
- Contrasting color in font from icon for emphasis
- Deep ocean blue - this is my preferred color
- Sky blue - perhaps a secondary color or for fade
- Red or Gold (yellow-gold, not metallic gold) used for emphasis or font perhaps
It is okay to use fades or gradients
- Please do not use any clip art, stock or photography images in the logo.
- Please refrain from cartoons or animated designs, I'd like to keep it professional.
- I'd prefer not to have shadows or reflections
Good Luck! I'm looking forward to working with you!

Same-sex couples and clergy members file lawsuit against NC marriage ban
April 28, 2014
Today, April 28, a group of clergy members, people of faith, and same-sex couples filed a new federal lawsuit in North Carolina seeking the freedom to marry for same-sex couples. The lawsuit argues that Amendment One, which prohibits same-sex couples from marrying, violates the constitutional rights of gay and lesbian couples in NC while denying clergy members the religious freedom to perform these marriages.
A public education campaign surrounding the lawsuit, General Synod of the United Church of Christ vs. Cooper, is being coordinated by the Campaign for Southern Equality, one of Freedom to Marry's regional partners for Southerners for the Freedom to Marry.
The Campaign for Southern Equality explained today on a new site for the case, AmendmentOneLawsuit.com:
This case opens a new front in litigation against state laws that ban same-sex marriage. In addition to bringing 14th Amendment claims under equal protection and due process, this lawsuit introduces a 1st Amendment claim that the marriage ban in North Carolina violates the right to the free exercise of religious beliefs by denominations, clergy, and congregants who believe that same sex marriages are theologically valid and want to perform marriage ceremonies.
The lead plaintiff in the case is General Synod of United Church of Christ, a mainline Protestant denomination with nearly 1 million members and more than 5,100 congregations nationwide. Eleven other people of faith and clergy members have joined the suit, arguing that they want to be able to legally perform marriage ceremonies for same-sex couples, and six same-sex couples, many who have been together for more than 25 years, are also plaintiffs.
The case joins two other lawsuits from North Carolina - the ACLU's Fisher-Borne v. Smith and Gerber and Berlin v. Cooper - in seeking marriage for same-sex couples. More than 65 lawsuits are currently working their way through state and federal court in 31 different states/territories.

After the Town Meeting Day polls closed last Tuesday, our crew in the newsroom delivered up-to-the second results for towns across the county. As the numbers rolled in, we hustled to get them out to you ASAP.
This winter has been a mild one in Addison County, but it has also seemed the harshest of the three Vermont winters I've experienced. As the days get longer, it's exciting to see a few signs of spring.
Just in: With 85 percent of Ohio's vote counted, the race is tightening: Santorum and Romney are now tied at 37 percent. That's because a close look at the map suggests the 15 percent of the vote yet to be counted is in the larger cities of Cleveland, Akron and Columbus, where Romney is ahead of Santorum by up to 10 percentage points in each of those areas. Conclusion: Look for a Romney surge, and a race that goes to Romney.
Update and commentary on the Republican presidential primary:
Early on this Super Tuesday primary night, Rick Santorum appears to be headed for what he can legitimately claim is a two-person race for Republican nomination. With early returns in, it appears he'll win Oklahoma and Tennessee, with a good chance for a victory in North Dakota, and perhaps a narrow win in Ohio, which would be huge.
At one of the longest town meetings in recent memory, about 250 Middlebury residents spent 4 hours and 20 minutes deliberating a number of issues, starting with the proposed budget, which took the better part of two hours. It passed on a voice vote, with numerous questions from the audience but no final opposition.
Lots of playoff headlines yesterday and today.
The big news on Sunday came out of Middlebury College, where in the wake of the men's basketball team's convincing 89-73 takedown of Albertus Magnus on Saturday night, the NCAA awarded the 26-3 Panthers a sectional tournament this weekend. (See details on that game and photos from the Panthers' Friday win over Morrisville in our Monday paper.)
Here's U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, explaining why she is not running for a fourth term for the Senate as had been expected. Snowe has been a moderate Republican voice and one of the few Republicans willing to cross party lines to forge a compromise. She laments the loss of bipartisanship in the Senate and in politics. As former U.S. Sen. James Jeffords, I-Vermont, did almost a decade ago, she is leaving her post discouraged by a party and a political system that seems to have lost its way. It's an informative and important piece to read.
Angelo S. Lynn, editor/publisher
When the voting booths close on Town Meeting Day, we're all left with a range of questions: Who won? What proposals passed? Are we getting a new town hall? How will this affect taxes?
That's why we're here — to deliver answers to your questions ASAP.

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #542
Everyone loves a good sequel, right? This week is part 2 of a theme show where Dean and Phil examine the British Film Institute list of "The 50 Films you should see by the age of 14." The list was created in 2005 to inspire parents and educators to take movies as seriously as other forms of art and included the opinions of more than 70 experts including film producers, teachers, authors and critics. Of course, YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour was not around back then, so the BFI had to make do without input from your friends in podcasting. Until now. There are times Dean and Phil strongly agree with the list, other times they realize they have holes in their own cinematic educations, and times when they disagree with the list and/or note its particular European and British slant on the subject. All in all, a fascinating discussion of the art form, of education, of parenting and more. Part 2 picks up where Part 1 left off – 1971 (and Nicolas Roeg's Walkabout) – and goes through the final entry, 2003′s Finding Nemo.

You Work Five Extra Days for Uncle Sam This Year
MarketWatch's Jim Jelter explains the meaning of Tax Freedom Day and why this year you'll have to work five days more than last year to be able to pay your taxes. (Photo: Getty Images)
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
I ... where is the latest news from the taxpayer ... should ... have to work five more days this year than it did last year to make sure to get enough money for Uncle Sam ... Jim Jelter MarketWatch and every year tax Foundation which is a Washington based watchdog group its been around since after dollar ... reviews how much Americans can expect to pay taxes ... and from this they calculate what they call tax freedom day ... this year tax freedom day falls on April eighteen ... five days later the last year ... in theory this means that up until April eighteen every dollar you earn will go into the federal state or local government ... some form attacks ... so why are we working longer this year for the government ... basically it's because in January Congress allowed the payroll tax cut to expire which means payroll taxes ... are going to go back up two percent to six point two percent were they were before the Cup other additions include new taxes created by the Affordable Care Act ... and there's been a hike in federal income tax bill it only applies to those individuals earning more than four hundred thousand dollars year ... now clearly this is an average taxes vary a great deal from state to state ... according to how much you earn ... and how needed to work ... for example in states with higher taxes such as New York ... tax freedom day falls this year on its ETFs those living in states with the lowest taxes like Louisiana ... the boarding pass that point ... for them that the doctor taxes for the year around March twenty nine so is this the worst it's ever been not at all ... in two thousand tax free and it didn't arrive until the first ... but it's a lot bigger burden taxpayers face back in nineteen hundred ... when on average they had made enough money to cover their taxes ... by January twenty sec

- Jeff Teague's player development (or lack thereof) - This has been discussed ad nauseum and is simply a carryover from the Mike Woodson era, but what's worse - it has cost us our Jamal Crawford replacement and any other additional help by way of a 1st round pick. Bottom line, I won't mince words here. Jeff Teague will never be an effective player for the Atlanta Hawks under Larry Drew. Drew doesn't trust him. It's obvious - let's just dispense with the pretense that anything else is true. And I wouldn't put this at the top of the list if he wasn't OUTRIGHT LYING TO US ABOUT THIS.
- Roster Balance - I've been hollering from the top of Stone Mountain about roster balance for 3 years now. Marvin Williams should have been coming off the bench with Jamal Crawford at the beginning of LAST season. It's a lot better for the balance of the starting and bench players to have Teague, Johnson, Smith, Horford, and Wilkins/Evans, so you have talent (and this extends to defense as well) coming off the bench. There's a reason that Ginobili came off the bench for much of his career - it's because the roster works BETTER that way. Too bad, Coach Drew hasn't figured that out yet.
- Damien Wilkins - When a guy you signed off the scrap heap is the ONLY player you can claim is neck and neck with Al Horford as the players who have improved from last year to this one, you can't be doing a great job at coaching 'em up or motivating them. On top of that, he shines as the example that if you give him consistent minutes - a player may show himself worthy of more. Unfortunately, Jeff Teague and Zaza Pachulia are not getting that chance despite being at worst 2 of your top 8 players.
- Mental Toughness - Coach Drew has been on the staff for over 6 years (repeat that 10 times) and we still are talking about having mental toughness issues. This is new??!? At game 70, we're still talking about this. Yep, this is a culture problem and the fact that you haven't changed it means that you were the wrong coach.
- Leadership - How many players' only meetings are you allowed to have a year before you realize that they aren't working? My PO meetings count is at 5 for the year. The PO means that what the coach is saying is not helping, so we the players need to address it ourselves. In my days of working toward championships (from high school to intramurals), the max on PO meetings is 2 per year before you just realize that your team as constructed is what it is. The Hawks are what they are. Average defense. Average offense. Deficient in leadership, heart, and toughness, but talented enough to overcome their deficiencies vs. bad basketball teams. Sorry ASG, you need new people.
Truth 3. First Round Sweep would be a blessing.
Bonus Truth. The Start to DNP Strategy = Dumbest. Move. Ever.
Note: It still boggles the mind that Jason Collins (our 3rd best center by far) can start over Horford and Pachulia when either are healthy, but if he's good enough to start a game, then why is he unworthy of PT during any game he doesn't start. It also boggles the mind that our best defensive guard is not needed to defend in every game.
And with that note, that's this week's 5 Truths....agree or disagree if you must, but if it's the Honesty Corner, then it can't be lies. See you in the comments...

Back in Philly; Back in Action
The Phillies returned home to play the 1st of 2 exhibition games on Monday night in preparation for Opening Day on Thursday. I had a very nice seat 22 rows behind home plate, but sadly, my camera died a few weeks ago. So I apologize in advance for the crappy photos I took with an old camera while the good one is getting repaired.
Joe Blanton started the game and actually looked pretty good. His fastball had some zip which made his change-up effective. He actually had a no-hitter going through 3 1/3 innings. That may not seem like much, but considering he missed most of last season with a bum elbow, this is serious improvement. The Red Phanatic agreed:
During the game, we saw some old faces, like Placido Polanco who appears healthy, Hunter Pence and Jimmy Rollins:
And there were many new faces, like Juan Pierre and Ty Wiggington. Pierre looked good at the top of the line-up with a double and a stolen base.
But the big moment of the evening was Jim Thome's first at-bat in his return to Citizen's Bank Park. He received a hearty ovation although he played it cool.
Before the game, I wandered the stadium looking for the "mystery" player sightings that were promised. I found Juan Pierre playing a running game with some kids, John Mayberry Jr. signing autographs at the kids play area and David Herndon serving soda.
None of the players I ran into would sign autographs according to their body guards/escorts. When I got home, I saw other guys on TV who did sign, like Cole Hamels and Charlie Manuel. Hey Phillies…what's up with that? Even more annoying, Pierre was standing alone waiting to get in that running game when NO ONE except me recognized him…being the ONLY person to ask for an autograph, you'd think they would have let him do it for ONE person. Same with Herndon…only one there…no autographs.
So thank God for Ricky Botallico! The former Phillies closer not only signed autographs (for a LOT of people) but he asked me to take a photo with him! That's right…I did not ask. He did. I cannot remember the last time I saw any current or former player volunteer for a photo. He made my day…Ricky, you are the best!
Here is the rest of my Photo Album from the game. I hope to have a real camera again soon!

Strapping Groom was winless in two starts following his victory in the Grade 1 Forego in August at Saratoga Race Course.
"Turning for home, I asked him, and didn't think I'd get beat with the way that he kicked in at the end," said jockey Junior Alvarado. "It worked out pretty good; he was 100 percent on his game today."
The victory was fourth in nine starts this year for Strapping Groom, who was claimed for $35,000 in May by trainer David Jacobson and Drawing Away Stable.
The 6-year-old son of Johannesburg went on to win the Lion Cavern overnight stakes at Belmont Park and the Kid Russell at Saratoga for his new connections before pulling a 15-1 upset in the Forego.
He was then third in the Grade 1 Vosburgh Invitational and fourth in the Grade 3 Bold Ruler Handicap, both at Belmont, before finishing second behind Palace in the Grade 3 Fall Highweight Handicap on November 28 at the Big A.
"If he's not quite back to that Forego race, he's definitely headed in that direction," said Jacobson.
Palace, whose three-race win streak was snapped, was 4 ½ lengths clear of third-place finisher Abra.
"I think it would have been better if they had gone faster early on, but what are you going to do," said Palace's trainer, Linda Rice. "He ran well.
Jockey taken to hospital
Flipcup made her American debut a winning one as she pulled clear through the stretch to post a 4 ½-length victory over Champagne Ruby on Sunday in the 76th running of the $100,000 East View at Aqueduct Racetrack.
The field of 2-year-old New York-bred fillies was reduced from seven to five with the late scratches of favored Miss Narcissist, who became fractious at the starting gate and flipped, and Underthemoonlight, who was in the adjacent stall. Both fillies were walked off the track.
Jockey Junior Alvarado, aboard Miss Narcissist, was unseated during the incident and was taken to North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y. for X-rays of his left ankle.
Accelerating when asked for run by jockey Rajiv Maragh, Flipcup poked a head in front straightening for home and was never threatened as she hit the wire.
"My trip was good," said jockey Rajiv Maragh of the George Weaver-trained filly, who had won two of her three starts over the synthetic surface at Woodbine.

Hackers wipe US servers of email provider VFEmail
"At this time, the attacker has formatted all the disks on every server," the company said yesterday. "Every VM is lost. Every file server is lost, every backup server is lost." "This was more than a multi-password via SSH exploit, and there was no ransom. Just attack and destroy," VFEmail said.".....
It is rare that hackers take steps to wipe out an entire company's data. Most attacks usually end up with hackers using compromised servers for other attacks (like running botnets or hosting malware), or with hackers asking for a ransom payment from hacked victim
I have a feeling that this was state sponsored due to the fact that they didn't ask for any ransom. Only a script kiddie would do that and it was something that would probably take a team to accomplish. No one would would do this without wanting a payout of some sort.. Then again, someone could of used their servers for something malicious and then deleted their tracks. Who knows...

Do/did you vape to quit smoking? How much did you smoke? What vape gear and juice do you use?
I'll copy SB's comment from the other thread to kick off.

Nice. I smoked a pack a day for 22 years and vaped for 4 afterwards. Just slowly lower your nicotine levels and you can wean yourself off of vaping as well.
Back when I was vaping, I was mixing my own juice and wrapping my own coils. Sub-ohming as well..
I smoked for over 40 years, usually only 5-10 per day, never a pack, and mostly roll-your-own. I got my first vape about 15 months ago but it took a while to totally replace the cigs. There is such a vast amount of gear and juice flavours available, as well as different vape styles, it can take a while to find your sweet spot.
I started with an inexpensive starter kit which didn't exactly gain my love. A bit more research and I decided I'd prefer MTL (mouth-to-lung), which is similar to how cigs are smoked, over DTL (direct-to-lung) which is how fanatical vapers make those massive clouds. After trying a couple more setups, I now use an Eleaf iStick Pico25 mod (the battery bit) with a VandyVape Berserker MTL RTA tank. This is a RTA (rebuildable tank atomiser) for which you build your own coils.
I also have a Vaptio Cosmo which is an inexpensive starter kit but surprisingly good. It's nice to have a choice of which flavours you feel like puffing each time.
Not mixing my own juice yet but it's on the cards. My favourite juices currently are fruity ones -
Antivenom by 5150 - mango and pineapple with a hint of mint
Truth by Propaganda - strawberry lemonade
I know most of the regulars here are too smart to smoke, but if you do and are considering vaping to help quit, just do it!

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
John Dillard grew up on a beef cattle farm and now works as an agricultural and environmental litigation attorney with OFW Law. His blog analyzes legal issues and court decisions that affect America's farmers and ranchers.
Opponents of genetically modified foods have tried for years to compel FDA to mandate labels on all foods that contain genetically modified ingredients. FDA has turned down these requests on the basis that GM foods are safe and are not materially different from conventional crops. Recognizing that there is more than one way to skin a cat, anti-GM groups have turned to state houses to seek state-level legislation that would require labeling of GM foods sold within that particular state.
Although a 2012 California ballot initiative failed, GM-labeling proponents may succeed in passing legislation in Vermont and Hawaii and a ballot initiative in Washington State. Ultimately, the desire of the anti-GM crowd is to spin a web of state labeling laws that is so cumbersome that the federal government steps in to establish a uniform national labeling requirement. With a labeling requirement, the anti-GM crowd believes that consumers will demand food free of GM ingredients.
One potential roadblock for these state GM-labeling laws is the United States Constitution and the "Dormant" Commerce Clause. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution provides Congress the authority to regulate commerce "between the several states." Although not explicitly stated in the Constitution, courts have interpreted this grant of federal authority to regulate interstate commerce to also mean that states cannot take actions that unreasonably hinder interstate commerce.
The Dormant Commerce Clause is generally used as a defense against protectionist efforts by states. For example, localities cannot pass laws requiring grocery stores to only sell milk sourced and pasteurized within 5 miles of the city limits (tsk, tsk Wisconsin). The Dormant Commerce Clause can also serve as a defense against state laws that are not necessarily protective, but still place a burden on interstate commerce. These laws are struck down if they place a burden on interstate commerce that outweighs whatever local benefits are provided by the law. For instance, South Dakota cannot pass a law limiting the length of trains that pass through its borders to 80 cars.
There is, however, one exception to the Dormant Commerce Clause – state regulation of health and safety. Federal courts will allow a state law that burdens interstate commerce to stand if the law is intended to protect the health and safety of state residents. For example, a Minnesota law that outlawed the sale of milk in plastic nonreturnable, nonrefillable containers was allowed to stand on the basis that Minnesota had a valid interest in promoting conservation within its borders.
The proposed GM-labeling laws are written with the health and safety exception in mind. Vermont's GM-labeling bill includes a litany of "legislative findings" that assert why GM-labeling is necessary for the health of Vermont's residents. Although these assertions are not necessarily based on actual scientific findings, the findings may be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the health and safety exception.
Vermont and Washington State will likely burden interstate commerce if they require labeling of GM foods. Food companies will be required to separately package and label food based on its destination. This goes against the Founder's desire for national markets for goods. Nonetheless, GM-labeling supporters may be able to withstand a Dormant Commerce Clause challenge based on the law's alleged basis in health and safety concerns. This, in turn, will force us that much closer to a national labeling requirement.
[UPDATE 3/22/2013: Yesterday, a Hawaii state senate committee voted to table the bill that would have required GM labeling]
John Dillard is an attorney with Olsson Frank Weeda Terman Matz P.C. (OFW Law), a Washington, DC-based firm that serves agricultural clients and clients with issues before federal and state courts, EPA, FDA, USDA, and OSHA.

"In the first place i want to congratulate you on this wonderful game, but the real reason that i'm writing is because i don't agree with the answer to the 11 June quiz in which you asked: Which of the following choices correctly names a schema-level program or packaged subprogram provided by Oracle that you can use to determine if a file exists?
"In my opinion you can use UTL_FILE.IS_OPEN to determine if the file exists or not (i know that you can not use it by itself but in fact in one situation that you have already tried to open a file you can use it to check the existence).
If you use it in conjunction with utl_file.fopen you can find out if the file exists or not...
DECLARE vInHandle utl_file.file_type; BEGIN vInHandle := utl_file.fopen('ORALOAD', 'test.txt', 'R'); IF utl_file.is_open(vInHandle) THEN dbms_output.put_line('The File exists'); Else dbms_output.put_line('The File dosen't exists'); END IF; END fopen;
Miguel, we salute your creativity! All too often, developers stick to the documented and "intended" purpose of a program and don't explore other ways that it can be applied to solve a problem.
So, by all means, please keep exploring and pushing boundaries.
In this case, however, we must disagree. The IS_OPEN subprogram of UTL_FILE will only tell you if a file is open or not (and even then, so far as we know, this function only checks the value of a field in the UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE record; it doesn't actually check file status). If the file doesn't exist, it will not be opened and so you never even get to call IS_OPEN.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for October to Fire Apparatus Operator Nicholas Thill of Lincoln Fire and Rescue. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
Thill has worked for the City since September 1997. Fire Captain John Hibberd nominated him in the category of productivity for the way he took on the task of assembling personal lockers after additional employees were added at Station 8.
Captain Hibberd said Thill's leadership on the project saved the City more than 24 hours of labor on the lockers. He organized the effort and lined up other employees to bring in tools. He also established an order of assembly that made the work flow smoothly. Captain Hibberd said Thill demonstrated his initiative and leadership skills. He also said Nick is a hard worker and a team player who takes pride in his job.
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are customer service, loss prevention, safety and valor. Consideration also may be given to nominations that demonstrate self-initiated accomplishments or those completed outside of the nominee's job description.
All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected and appointed officials. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public. Nomination forms are available on the City Web site at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: personnel) or from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program.
All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

Could someone who would know give me some cultural differences between Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox people? I'm not talking as much about liturgy or rubrics, but the way that the two groups practice their faith.hard to say, as Russian Orthodoxy owes so much to the Ukrainians.
For instance is Ukrainian Orthodoxy less strict or judicial about things as are the Russians? Do Ukrainians tend to approach their faith in a less legalistic way then Russians (Or visa verse)?
Just interested.
Now, if only Moscow would keep their eyes on, and hands strictly in Russian territory, and out of other countries...but, that's for a different thread.

Would you like to come to the Chateau du Pin writing retreat with a well-planned route that is easy to follow? My wife Norma is a great planner, plus she reads French, German and Italian, so she has figured it all out for you.
First: Would you like to fly into Paris, or into Nantes? The advantage of flying into Paris is that it's Paris. Paris is an amazing, life-changing city. Nothing can describe Paris. If you haven't been there, you owe it to yourself to come a couple of days early and see Paris. The advantage of flying into Nantes is that it is easier to get to the chateau from Nantes than from Paris.
Getting to the Chateau du Pin from Paris
To get to the chateau from Paris, you will need to take the TGV from Gare Montparnasse to the city of Angers. To get to the Gare Montparnasse directly from Charles de Gaulle Airport, take the Les Cars Air France shuttle (16.60€) to Gare Montparnasse. (If you are spending a few days in Paris, take a taxi or other form of transport to Gare Montparnasse.) From Gare Montparnasse take the one-hour and forty-minute TGV ride to the city of Angers (book via Raileurope.com: $88 U.S. and up. Trains travel at speeds up to 200mph. They depart every one to two hours.) Then from the train station in Angers, take a fifteen-minute local train ride to the village of Champtocé-sur-Loire. Trains depart from Angers to Champtocé-sur-Loire at 12:30 pm arriving 12:45 pm; 3:37 pm arriving 4:00 pm; and 6:05 pm arriving 6:30 pm. Depending on which train you take, we can pick you up at the Champtocé-sur-Loire train station at 1:00 pm, 4:00 pm, or 6:30pm. If you arrive and have not made prior plans to be picked up, or you don't see anyone there waiting for you, call or text Norma at 415 317-4460. We are here to help!
Getting to the Chateau du Pin from Nantes
It's easier and quicker to get to the village of Champtocé-sur-Loire if you fly into Nantes, and the total prices are comparable, once you add up all the train travel. In Nantes Airport, Hall 1, buy a 7.00€ shuttle ticket for Gare de Nantes. At Gare de Nantes, buy a ticket to Champtocé-sur-Loire, 17.00€. Take train from Nantes to Champtocé-sur-Loire (7:41 am arrive 8:30, 12:11 pm arrive 12:58 , and 5:35 pm arrive 6:30 pm). (You can also buy this ticket in advance through RailEurope.) We can pick you up at the train station at Champtocé-sur-Loire at 8:45 am, 1:00 pm, or 6:30 pm. Or call or text Norma at 415 317-4460. If you have any questions please let us know–we are here to help!

Monica Martino had filmed tornadoes in the Midwest, ship collisions in the Antarctic and crab fishermen in Alaska's Bering Sea. But those experiences didn't prepare her for a terrifying nighttime boat ride in the Amazon jungle.
In February, the 41-year-old co-executive producer was thrown into a murky river after getting footage for "Bamazon," a series for the History cable channel about out-of-work Alabama construction workers mining for gold in the rain forest of Guyana.
Martino says the captain was blind in one eye and piloting too fast without a proper light. He lost control of the boat while making a hard turn, sending the crew into the river, where Martino was knocked out by the impact of hitting the water at high speed.
Pulled back into the boat, Martino regained consciousness. But on the journey back to base camp, the vessel struck a tree, slamming Martino into the deck. Although she sustained a concussion, bruised ribs and a badly torn shoulder, Martino said, she had to wait 19 hours to receive medical care at a clinic in Venezuela because the production company had no viable medical evacuation plan for the crew.

Bangladeshi Man Accused In Attempted Bombinb Leaves Family Stunned
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — The family of a Bangladeshi man accused of trying to bomb the Federal Reserve Building in New York City says it's stunned by his arrest. The FBI arrested Quazi Nafis after he allegedly tried to detonate a fake 1,000-pound car bomb. His family says the 21-year-old is a gentle man incapable of such actions and his father is calling on the Bangladesh government to intervene to get his son back to his home country.

Leicester have completed the loan signings of Manchester United duo Michael Keane and Jesse Lingard.
Keane, a versatile 19-year-old defender, has appeared twice for Sir Alex Ferguson's first team in this season's Capital One Cup.
Both players are eligible to face Bolton in the npower Championship on Tuesday night, meaning attacking midfielder Lingard is set for his league debut ahead of his 20th birthday next month.
"We have been operating with a smaller, more balanced squad this season, but we felt the time was right to increase the options available to us," said manager Nigel Pearson on Leicester's official website.
"Not only do Michael and Jesse add a great deal of quality to the group, they are also the type of hungry, young players that will fit in well with what is already a very strong squad."
Heading into the Reebok Stadium clash, Leicester sit fourth in the Championship table.

By Anne Tergesen
For individuals 70 ½ and older, the fiscal-cliff legislation that Congress approved last week contains some welcome news: Congress has resurrected a provision that allows those taking required minimum distributions from IRAs to save on taxes while donating up to $100,000 to a qualified charity. And because the provision is retroactive to 2012, as well as covering 2013, it could effectively offer a do-over to some people who reduced their charitable giving because of cliff-related tax uncertainty.
Often referred to as the charitable IRA rollover provision, the measure may be especially helpful to charitably-minded retirees with higher incomes. Many of them are likely to face higher taxes in 2013, either in the form of the new 3.8% Medicare surtax on investment income (which affects joint filers with adjusted gross income above $250,000 and singles above $200,000) or because of the new limitations on personal exemptions and itemized deductions for couples with income above $300,000 (and singles above $250,000). (For help deciding whether it makes sense for you to pursue the deduction, read Robert Powell's column here.)
"Because of the new tax rules this year, this provision is more attractive than ever," says Timothy Steffen, director of financial planning at Robert W. Baird & Co., a wealth management firm.
Tax rules require owners of traditional IRAs who are 70½ or older to take a minimum distribution, or RMD, each year. Ordinarily, that withdrawal counts as taxable income. But the charitable IRA rollover provision, which was first enacted for the 2006 tax year, allows retirees to donate up to $100,000 of their IRA assets each year to a public charity. The donor doesn't receive a tax deduction for the contribution, but he or she doesn't have to report the IRA withdrawal as taxable income, either.
For many taxpayers, this rollover provision offers even more tax advantages than taking an ordinary tax deduction for a charitable contribution, says Ed Slott, an IRA expert in Rockville Centre, N.Y. By reducing your adjusted gross income, the tax provision may help you keep it below the thresholds at which you could lose some of your deductions and other tax benefits, or become subject to higher Medicare premiums and taxes on Social Security benefits.
It may be too late for many people to take advantage of the deduction for the 2012 tax year. But there are exceptions. One applies to those who took distributions in December—something an unusually high number of retirees did, due to uncertainty surrounding the fiscal cliff, as Laura Saunders reported last year in the Wall Street Journal. Provided they make a cash donation to a charity by Jan. 31, they can qualify, says Steffen.
Those who forgot or opted not to take an RMD– an infraction that exposes them to a 50% excise tax on the amount they should have withdrawn–can do so in January and have it count towards their 2012 obligation, as long as they give the entire amount to charity, says Steffen. And those who turned 70 ½ in 2012 who took advantage of a rule that allows them to postpone their first RMD until 2013 can now take a distribution in January and have it count for 2012 (again, provided they donate all the money to charity).
