NJ Gets Ready for Internet Gambling
Political efforts to defend New Jersey's fledgling Internet gambling industry intensified Tuesday, two days before a test of online betting is to begin in the state.
Casinos and their online technology partners did last-minute testing Tuesday, and a pro-gambling state senator tried to rally opposition to Las Vegas billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson's plan to try to ban online gambling in the United States.
Sen. Ray Lesniak also said he'll unveil a proposed expansion on Thursday of Internet gambling in New Jersey.
"Adelson has started a campaign to shut down New Jersey's internet gaming which will cost the loss of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of revenues to Atlantic City's ailing casinos and hundreds of millions of dollars to the state treasury," said Lesniak, who sponsored the law that legalized Internet gambling in his state. "We already have given the legal authority for Internet gaming in New Jersey, and state regulators have done a good job in reviewing and authorizing licenses for online gaming businesses. Imposing a federal ban on Internet gambling for New Jersey would be an economic catastrophe."
The Washington Post reported last week that Adelson is preparing a public campaign to portray online gambling as a danger to children, the poor and others who could be exploited by easy access to Internet betting. In January, Adelson plans to launch an advocacy group, the Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling.
Adelson was one of the top donors in last year's presidential elections; he and his wife spent nearly $100 million to help Republicans.
The American Gaming Association, the casino industry's trade group, also opposed Adelson's plans.
"In 2012, Americans spent nearly $3 billion gambling with rogue offshore operators," said Geoff Freeman, the group's president. "The Internet cannot be forced back into the bottle -- nor can market demand. We support pragmatism and strong regulation of online gaming that protects consumers, prevents underage play, ensures the integrity of the games and empowers law enforcement."
Several Atlantic City casino executives declined to comment on Adelson's plans Tuesday.
The moves came as Atlantic City casinos and their online partners put the finishing touches on their Internet gambling systems and looked for bugs that still needed to be fixed before the start of a five-day invitation-only trial period of Internet gambling. If all goes well, online gambling will be available statewide Nov. 26.
PartyPoker.com, the signature brand of bwin.party, is partnered with the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. It offered a look Tuesday at its global site, which company officials said is very similar to what New Jersey players will experience starting Thursday.
The site offers live poker in online rooms; card games including blackjack; table games including roulette, and several versions of slot machine games. On Sunday, the site sponsored a $200,000 poker tournament in which 1,139 people played.
"This is the type of featured event we hope to develop in New Jersey," said Jeffrey Haas, the site's director of poker.
Once a player registers and funds an account, rapid-fire gambling is just a mouse-click away. In the time it takes for a single roulette game at a casino, where players have to buy chips, place them on the table, then wait until dealers collect chips from losing bets and hand out chips for winnings ones, an online gambler can play a dozen games.
The state is also looking forward to a vote by Nevada casino regulators as soon as Thursday that would legalize multi-state slots jackpots -- something New Jersey has long wanted.

Are Texas Dance Halls A Thing Of The Past?
Central Texas has some dance halls with history behind them, like the Broken Spoke in Austin, and Gruene Hall about 45 minutes to the south.
Those two spots seem to have enough history and tradition behind them to continue drawing a crowd, and they've got that cool factor that attracts both older cowboy boots and young skinny jeans. But will other Texas dance halls last?
A new article points out those older buildings that give the dance halls that nostalgic, rustic feel also require a lot of maintenance. Some of the old dance halls are surrounded by apartments and other new developments and have lost some of their country charm. And it's tough to build a brand new dance hall and distress it enough to make the floors creak and the the smell of fifty years worth of spilled beer rise to the surface.
Earlier this year USA Today ran an article that highlighted Texas dance halls that should be appreciated, and the Music City Texas Theater in Linden represented East Texas on the list.
The former theater is a sit-down performance venue that's run by Richard Bowden, who played with Don Henley and Glenn Frey, who went on to form the Eagles.
Taking a tour of the old Texas dance halls sounds like a road trip in the making to me. Billy Bob's Texas in Fort Worth is another one that's worth the drive.

Get ready to be taken to a new dimension, because that's what you'll experience in listening to Sugarpill's new album, Space Foray on Muti Music. It's well thought-out, beautiful, and vibrant. I love the bounciness of BlipSquip. Then there's the unique-sounding Space Foray, which I have a very hard time sitting still while listening to. I can honestly say that there isn't a track on the release that I dislike, which is a rarity. Having been a fan of Sugarpill for years, I thoroughly enjoy listening through this album. Also be sure to check out his track "Bring It Back" on the new Gruntworthy We Are the Future Volume II; it is for sure one of my favorites from the whopping 74-track compilation. I can hear his unrelenting improvement through time; he is definitely on top of his game right now! You can see this in both this release and his unparalleled stage presence while playing live this summer. Poppin' champagne bottles and choosing just the right tracks for the crowd at the right times, Sugarpill was a pleasure to see a few times over the summer…. highly recommended. Kids were raging and getting down like no other at his live shows; exactly how it should be! Seeing much of the Headtron crew up on stage with him at Lightning in a Bottle was pretty awesome.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Sugarpill, and he had some interesting things to say. Check it out:
1. Your latest album, Space Foray, comes out on August 16th. What inspired you in the making of this release, and how does it compare to your past releases?
SP: This album is kind of a culmination of a bunch of things that I've been trying to bring together in a single release for a while now. I have been really stoked on the idea of putting out a release that crosses a lot of ground all the way through. I write a lot when I'm traveling as well as at home in the studio and each of the songs on the album come from a different part of me because they were all written in different places in the space and time of my life. I wanted this album to have a lot of variation so I chose this collection of songs because they touch different musical elements in terms of tempo, melody, harmony, and sound palate, but at the same time they still connect in this way this is like a single journey to some far corner of space. My ultimate goal in putting this release together was to do it in a way that when I listen to it, I couldn't tell whether I was on some inner journey in my mind or on a completely external journey somewhere in space. Trying to get a single expression to do both of those things is something that I'm working try to embody in my music all the time.
2. Do you have any other deep-seeded passions aside from music and all that revolves around it?
SP: I'm really into life and learning, but without getting super long-winded, I'll just say that they pretty much stem from that.
3. You are a master of Ableton and have educated many on the program. What motivated to help others gain skill at your craft?
SP: I learn a lot from teaching. Helping other people understand things forces me to think about them in new and different ways that I would probably never arrive at without that external stimulus.
4. I'd love to hear more about your mastering process, as many have attested to your talent, and my ears most certainly agree. What outboard gear do you use, if any?
SP: I don't use outboard gear… which is a bummer, but I'm working on upping my game in that department right now. Right now I choose software that has really good analog modeling.
5. What plugs and techniques would you recommend to others who want to master their own music?
SP: I'd recommend that anyone looking to get into it read the ozone manual, it covers all the basics and gives you a single piece of software to learn and practice on.
6. You played at a handful of shows and festivals this summer… from Cervantes to Emissions to LIB to 5 Points. What was your favorite DJ experience this summer, and why?
SP: Picking a favorite is impossible. I kind of live a constant forward motion mindset, so it's really tough for me to isolate a single favorite. All I can say is that I'm continuously blown away by the places I got and the people I meet.
7. Do you like to change it up quite a bit, depending on what sort of crowd you're playing to? Or do you find that sticking to your signature sound is what you prefer, for the most part?
SP: I play pretty much 100% original sets these days. So I try to write a variety of different sounds and vibes into my songs so I can play to different different sets at different times. I think all my songs probably have a sound that's sounds like me, but I definitely have to keep it varied so I don't get bored with myself.
8. The Headtron crew seems like an awesome group to be a part of. Would you say that this has been a support group conducive to your growth as an artist, as opposed to being on your own?
SP: Have something like the Headtron crew has definitely contributed to my growth as an artist. We've got kind of a song club where we can all share ideas and honest critiques. On the non-music side, we're all pretty close as friends so being able to cross the country and have homies in most of the places is really dope.
9. On that note, may I also ask about the origins of the lesser known Steaktribe?
SP: Steaktribe is just what we call grilling and not using utensils. Im not even sure what it's become other than that, I'm just pretty passionate about making food with my friends and I guess I can get pretty stoked about it.
10. Can you tell us anything more about your collaboration with Gladkill? I'm pretty sure people are eager to know what you guys have in the works!
SP: We've been talking about making music for a while and we made a track a while back when I was in sf for a show. We actually got the chance to get in the studio for a few days after 5 points. I think our sounds work really well together because they're already kind of similar in some ways so when we get together we can really expand on the sound because it's like getting to work double time. We both come from pretty similar music backgrounds and have a lot of the same tastes so we're already on the same page in the way we think about the music. I should say that it might be a minute before we finish this release though because we are only working on it when we can physically be in the same studio together. I'm really excited about that fact actually because I think the email collabs have become so prevalent these days. The difference between collaborating on music when you can look at each other and talk is huge. It's that type of shared experience that makes the output so much more human than the email/Facebook/Dropbox collabs where I think it feels like you're playing a video game with someone who could just as well be a stranger you've never made eye contact with.
11. Have any collab name ideas been thrown around yet?
SP: Rigatoni Danza is the working code name. But seriously no, right now it's just Gladkill and Sugarpill
12. And how about Swordfight, can we expect something from you and ChrisB. anytime soon, or is that more of a casual affair?
SP: There will be more swordfight. The lazer battle is ongoing.
13. Where did your signature comment, "(.Y.)" stem from, and do you actually say "that's tits" or something of the nature in real life?
SP: One of my students was really into making ascii genitalia a while back. I mean like really into it… he thought it was one of the funniest things ever and at some point I noticed people saying "that's tits", so it started as a joke on that phrase.
14. How do you feel about the controversy over music leaks and illegal file sharing? Do you think this is a serious issue for growing artists, or should they focus their energy on other things?
SP: I think making music is the most important thing, and I think artists should focus their energy on making music that they really want to hear. I think music lovers can tell when something is good, and if there is a way for them to support that in order to keep the music happening, I think they will do that. And if no one pays for it at the end of the day and all along you've been making music you actually love, then your energy was well placed.
Thank you Sugarpill, we look forward to jamming to your beats come August 16th!

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. - A 69-year-old man is facing a misdemeanor charge after allegedly exposing himself to a woman in Bronxville.
Shortly before 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 4, a woman reported to police in Bronxville that a man walked up to the side of her car on Stoneleigh Plaza where she was sitting and exposed himself to her.
Police tracked down Bronxville resident James O'Rourke and arrested him, charging him with a misdemeanor count of public lewdness. He was arraigned in Bronxville Village Court and released on his own recognizance.
O'Rourke is due back in court later this year to answer the charge.

SAN JOSE — At the end, it came down to Sharks forward Raffi Torres — a player known more for his hard hits than his soft hands — sliding the puck through the legs of Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick.
With that shootout goal, the Sharks moved into a virtual tie with the Los Angeles Kings for fourth place in the Western Conference with a 3-2 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champions Tuesday night at HP Pavilion.
"Oh yeah, I don't play in overtime so, I don't know, I was kind of cold on the bench," Torres said. "But when you get called, you've got to trust your practice habits. I have one move. It was either that or just try and shoot and hope and pray."
In reality, the intense 65 minutes of up-tempo hockey only whet the appetite for a possible series between San Jose and the Kings — a matchup that would occur if the season ended today. Both teams now have 53 points, with the Kings holding the tiebreaker advantage of regulation and overtime wins.
"It felt like a playoff game," defenseman Dan Boyle said. "Both teams know what's at stake and neither team wanted to make the last mistake. It was a huge two points. Obviously our regulation wins are not as great as anybody else, which just means we've got to win the extra game to get positioning."
Before Torres's game-winner, the Sharks offense came from Brent Burns and TJ Galiardi on the same shift in the second period. San Jose didn't enjoy the lead long, however, as Los Angeles drew even before the same period ended on goals by Jake Muzzin and Dustin Brown.
While both teams skated hard at each other from the start, neither scored until Burns took over the ice as the second period neared its midpoint. Over a 42-second span, he racked up a goal and an assist as the Sharks jumped out to a 2-0 lead.
First he intercepted a careless clearing attempt by Kings forward Dustin Penner, skated a few strides into the right faceoff circle and fired a 19-foot wrist shot that beat Quick at 8:48.
Later on the same shift, Los Angeles defenseman Robyn Regher gave the puck away behind his own net, Burns scooped it up and then found Galiardi cutting across the crease. Galiardi didn't miss at 9:30.
Back-to-back Sharks penalties that period — a tripping call on Galiardi, a cross-checking call against Jason Demers — helped Los Angeles get back in the game by giving the Kings a 5-on-3 advantage for 1:13.
The Sharks survived that, but before Demers could get back on the ice, Muzzin launched a shot from the blue line through traffic that beat a screened Sharks goalie Antti Niemi at 13:59. And the Kings knotted it up at 2-2 when Niemi couldn't get his glove on a loose puck in the crease and Brown poked it past him at 18:41.
Still, Niemi played another overall strong game, making 41 saves. His biggest may have come in overtime when he fully extended his left leg to make a pad save on Kings forward Jeff Carter, finishing off a 2-on-1 rush.
Ultimately, the game was decided when Torres scored while Niemi stopped Jeff Carter, Anze Kopitar and Mike Richards. Quick did stop shots by Logan Couture and Boyle.
Acquired at the NHL trade deadline to provide playoff depth on the blue line, Hannan has been recovering from a neck injury suffered last month while playing with the Nashville Predators.
McLellan paired Hannan with Boyle, sitting Boyle's regular partner, Matt Irwin.

Charm City Chain Gang
We are a group of people who are desk jockeys during the week and cycling enthusiasts on the weekends. There is a group of us that gets together and go on long bike rides on the weekends... our own sort of "biker gang"! We thought it would be fun if we had some shirts designed to wear while we ride. For the most part we are office workers, so none of us has the artistic talent to create something that will let us show the neighborhood that we still have a sense of humor!
We are the target audience! As previously mentioned, we are a group of office workers who like to go for long bike rides on the weekends and we are interested in having someone with artistic talent design a jersey for us.
We are looking to have a bike jersey designed for our biking club. The jersey will be a short sleeve 3/4 lenth shirt that we wish to have patterned to resemble a white button down single breasted dress shirt with a tie. The impression given by the design should be somewhat surreal and comical. We aren't looking for a photo perfect replica of a real shirt, rather a creation that is light hearted and unique.
The design must take into account both the front and back of a short sleeve cycling jersey. It should have the attributes of a standard dress shirt, such as a collar folded over the tie, sleeve stitching, buttons, a shirt pocket, etc. This design should be represented in a hand-drawn, illustrated fashion. The jersey material will be all white, we wish for the tie to be illustrated in black, and pens to be drawin into the pocket.
I have attached a concept of what we were thinking. We are excited to see how everyone interprets this!

A local economic group is ready to push forward with its initiative to bring jobs to Terrebonne Parish starting the second week of February.
A local economic group is ready to push forward with its initiative to bring jobs to Terrebonne Parish starting the second week of February.
The Terrebonne Economic Development Authority, along with the Louisiana Workforce Commission and Louisiana Economic Development FastStart, has been working on the initiative for about two and a half months, TEDA CEO Steve Vassallo said.
"We came up with concept in early November. Then we met in December with LA Workforce Commission and LED, and when we got positive feedback from those organizations, we moved forward," Vassallo said. "Vic Lafont (president/CEO of South Louisiana Economic Council) will be assisting me."
TEDA came up with the idea of reaching out to technical schools, organizations and employers around the state and in Mississippi as a way to solve the worker shortages many companies in the parish face.
"Economically, it is not the lack of labor but the lack of skilled labor. That is why we are going to all the educational institutions first because it starts there," Lafont said.
Vassallo said there's a sense of urgency about the initiative.
"We have got to do this. We can't wait. We can't train the workers here fast enough to meet the needs," he said.
The commission and Louisiana Economic Development did several things to help the process along, Vassallo said.
"They helped us identify people around the state to reach out to. They gave us contacts around the state for people that would be good to get in front of," Vassallo said.
TEDA has compiled a booklet with more than 600 different detailed job openings for companies in Terrebonne Parish such as Weatherford International, Gulf Island Fabrication Inc. and Sonoco Catering to hand out to the employers and educators Vassallo and Lafont will visit in 26 cities.
"We are going to be very aggressive with it. We are going to walk out there and put it in their hands," Lafont said. "Mr. Vassallo has years of experience. He knows what works and what doesn't. I really trust his expertise and background, and if Terrebonne gets help, the whole region gets the help that it needs."
The more important thing, Vassallo said, will be the networking.
"We will be coming back with contact information for people outside the area. We can give those lists of contacts to our employers here in the parish. In turn, they can send email blasts to these external sources to say we have more jobs available and spread the word," Vassallo said.
Lafont said he will be handling southwest and south central Louisiana on up. Vassallo said he will cover eastern Louisiana and Mississippi.
Here is the list of cities by state:
- Baton Rouge
- Sorrento
- Hammond
- Lafayette
- Lake Charles
- Covington
- Jefferson
- Opelousas
- De Ridder
- Alexandria
- Luling
- Monroe

But when one looks for a while, in amidst this splendid celebration of the life of the age, this triumphant embodiment of the gloria mundi. one senses perhaps also a dissonant note, something eerie, something slightly "off', an unsettling element of the vertiginous and the spooky.
It's that odd flattened diagonal shape in the foreground of the picture.
What is it?
The mysterious foreground object is impossible to "read" from a frontal viewing angle. But when one resorts to a sidelong view, stationing oneself at an oblique angle in relation to the right side of the picture plane and looking at the painting "out of the corner of one's eye" as the saying goes, or "sneaking up on it" (cats sometimes look at each other in thus wise, at times when proper cat etiquette seems to forbid gazing straight-on), a recognizable image begins to emerge.
Holbein's painted skull is an anamorphic image.
Anamorphic drawing techniques were well known to Holbein and other artists of the age. Those practised in such techniques were able to produce a kind of drawing presenting a distorted image which appeared in "natural" form under certain conditions, as when viewed from a raking angle or reflected in a convex mirror.
When the anamorphosis in The Ambassadors is "corrected", the undistorted image of a skull appears. What could be the meaning of this?
Undistorted image of the anamorphic skull in Holbein's The Ambassadors (with anamorphosis "corrected"): image by Nataraja, 2005
The painting was made to be hung on a staircase in the chateau of the man seen on the left, Jean de Dinteville, ambassador of the French king Francis I to the court of Henry VIII. From below left, upon the stairs, or from the base of the staircase, in de Dinteville's chateau, the "corrected" skull image could probably have been made out easily enough.
Was this built-in reminder of the transitoriness of all worldly things a symbolic message woven by the artist into the work with the knowledge and consent of the man who intended to own and display it?
"The shadow of the shadow of death," as Mary F.S. Hervey so memorably compressed the content of this "hidden" message in her 1900 study of The Ambassadors: not exactly the sort of penumbra of association a courtly young Renaissance prince might have wished to have cast over, for example, a fashionable dinner party, or fancy-dress ball.
Seen as thus ominously enshadowed, must not this apparent paean to the glories of the world and the divinity in man be reinterpreted as a symbolic narrative of a very different sort? One, that is, in which the death's head, a figure of the concealed presence within this scene of Time as the Exterminating Angel, not unlike the presence of the mysterious dark shape that haunts the disturbing 1946 Robert Siodmak cinematic psychological thriller The Spiral Staircase, or, for that matter, the constant not-quite-visible presence of death within life, is always going to be lying in wait there, lurking at the bottom of the stairs?
Or could the anamorphic skull merely have been Holbein's "little surprise"?
The painter's name means "hollow bone" (hohle Bein) in German.
Was the painter simply creating a private ironic play, embedded within his work's complex internal play of signals, upon his own name?

Rams rally, sweep Cardinals
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - No NFL rookie since 1960 and no Rams rookie ever accomplished what cornerback Janoris Jenkins did on Sunday.
The second-round draft pick with off-the-field issues through his college career returned two interceptions for touchdowns and St. Louis dominated the second half to hand the Arizona Cardinals their seventh loss in a row, 31-17 on Sunday.
Arizona rookie Ryan Lindley was intercepted four times in his first NFL start.
Jenkins' returns of 36 and 39 yards emphatically ended the Rams' streak of five straight games without an opponent turnover. The talented defender had slipped to the second round for the Rams after he was booted from the Florida team following a pair of marijuana-related incidents and finished his career at North Alabama.
All that was just history on this big day.
Sam Bradford had a pair of 37-yard touchdown passes - to Lance Kendricks and Chris Givens - for the Rams (4-6-1), who snapped a five-game winless streak and beat Arizona (4-7) for the second time this season.
The Rams' Steven Jackson rushed for 139 yards in 24 carries.
St. Louis outscored Arizona 17-0 in the second half.
Lindley, a sixth-round draft pick out of San Diego State and the third quarterback to start for Arizona this season, completed 31 of 52 for 312 yards and no touchdowns. Beanie Wells, back after missing seven games with a turf toe injury, had TD runs of 1 and 12 yards for the Cardinals.
Arizona led 17-14 at the half on Jay Feely's 32-yard field goal as the second quarter ended.
The third quarter, though, belonged to the Rams.
With St. Louis pinned at its 8-yard line, Jackson ran 46 yards, doubling his previous longest gain of the season. Two plays later, Givens beat rookie Justin Bethel down the left sideline for a 37-yard scoring reception to give the Rams their first lead, 21-17, with 9:58 left in the quarter.
The Rams threatened to extend the lead when Lindley threw right into the hands of linebacker Harvey Dahl, who returned it 38 yards to the Arizona 12. But after a holding penalty, Greg Zuerlein's 35-yard field goal try was wide left.
The Cardinals weren't so fortunate on Lindley's next bad pass. The rookie had Larry Fitzgerald open but underthrew him by 10 yards. Jenkins caught it and in a play almost identical to his earlier TD, raced down the right sideline for the score that made it 28-17.
Arizona scored with a long, time-consuming drive on its first possession.
With Lindley throwing short passes over the middle, the Cardinals went 91 yards in 15 plays on their first possession, using up 8:55 of the first quarter. He was 7 of 8 for 80 yards on the drive, which stayed alive thanks to a late hit penalty against St. Louis safety Quintin Mikell.
On the first play of the second quarter, Jenkins read Lindley's throw, stepped in front of intended receiver LaRod Stephens-Howling, intercepted the pass and ran untouched 36 yards to the end zone to tie it at 7-7.
Danny Amendola, who played despite a foot injury that prevented him from practicing all week, made a diving grab of Bradford's 38-yard pass to the Arizona 19 on St. Louis' next possession and two runs by Jackson put the ball on the Arizona 7. But Patrick Peterson picked off Bradford's pass over the middle in the end zone to end the threat.
Lindley's 25-yard pass to Rob Housler and Andre Roberts' 13-yard run set up Wells' 12-yard scoring run that put Arizona back on top 14-7.
The Rams tied it 14-all when Bradford threw over the middle to the wide open tight end Kendricks, who rumbled into the end zone on a 37-yard scoring play with 1:53 left in the half.

Let us call this unknown something: God. It is nothing more than a name we assign to it. The idea of demonstrating that this unknown something (God) exists, could scarcely suggest itself to Reason. For if God does not exist it would of course be impossible to prove it; and if he does exist it would be folly to attempt it. For at the very outset, in beginning my proof, I would have presupposed it, not as doubtful but as certain (a presupposition is never doubtful, for the very reason that it is a presupposition), since otherwise I would not begin, readily understanding that the whole would be impossible if he did not exist. But if when I speak of proving God's existence I mean that I propose to prove that the Unknown, which exists, is God, then I express myself unfortunately. For in that case I do not prove anything, least of all an existence, but merely develop the content of a conception.
Replace god with ki and what have you got?
"Ki" is a container a label a cup that holds our ignorance - empty your cup, indeed.

The iconic Batmobile from the 1960s television show sold for $4.62 million at the Barrett-Jackson classic car auction in Scottsdale, Ariz.
The Saturday night sale thrilled famed car customizer George Barris, who first bought the 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car for $1 from Ford. He then transformed it into the Batmobile in 15 days with a budget of $15,000, according to auction notes from Barrett-Jackson.
The car's buyer was Rick Champagne, a Phoenix-area logistics company executive. Asked by television interviewers what motivated him to pay such a princely sum, he pointed to the woman accompanying him and said: "Her."
He then explained that he'd had his eye on the Batmobile "ever since I was a kid. I had a toy model of it," according to SPEED TV. Asked whether he'd keep the car in his garage, he said he'd put it in his living room.

Each week we'll be providing you with insight into the best (and worst) baseball players to play in your fantasy baseball league.
Phil Humber had a perfect game this week and Curtis Granderson hit three home runs in a game. but you don't need me to tell you they're trending upwards. Here are five other players looking up after the second week of games:
5 Up
1. Mike Minor, SP, ATL: Minor has been on fantasy radar screens for a while and it looks like he's ready to contribute at the major league level this year. The 24-year-old has two wins a 3.10 ERA on the young season and has both the peripherals and the pedigree to keep it going. He has recorded 19 strikeouts against just five walks so far and carries a 3.14 ERA and 3.59 K/BB from 235 minor league innings into his first full season as a major league starter.
2. Henry Rodriguez, RP, WAS: Rodriguez continues to thrive as part of the weird alternating closer thing Davey Johnson keeps rolling out in Washington, with four saves in four chances to go with nine strikeouts in 7.1 innings. Six walks is a bit of a concern, but we already know Rodriguez would be a bit wild and his stuff – 100 MPH fastball type stuff – is good enough to survive a few walks. With Brad Lidge looking shaky (two blown saves in four chances), Rodriguez could see more save opportunities in upcoming weeks.
3. Alex Gordon, OF, KC: Gordon is the prime example of just how much an early slump can impact numbers for weeks into the season. The Royals' left field will end the week at just .190/.299/.286, but since opening the season 0-for-20, Gordon is 11-for-41 (.268) with two home runs, five RBIs and five runs scored; in the last week he has hit .300/.417/.550. Tales of his demise were premature.
4. Mike Napoli, C, TEX: Napoli wasn't quite as cold as Gordon to start the season, but he had it rough. He sported a line of just .077/.333/.077 on April 12th. Fast forward 10 days and we add 11 hits, six home runs, 12 RBIs and eight runs. Napoli has freaky power, particularly for a catcher, and is totally capable of producing multiple runs like this over the course of a season. He serves as an excellent example why not to give up on a player over five games worth of performance.
5. Jed Lowrie, SS, HOU: Lowrie is and will likely always be an injury risk, and he's already missed time this year as a result. Still, shortstop is such a shallow position and Lowrie hit 15 homers in his last 480 at-bats as a member of the Red Sox. He'll have a premium spot in the Astros' batting order – probably either second or fifth – and so he'll be in some run scoring or RBI opportunities as the year goes on as well, making him an ideal sleeper pick at shortstop.
These five players didn't quite achieve perfection last week and don't look to be getting there any time soon:
5 Down
1. Willie Bloomquist, SS, ARI: It seems like Bloomquist makes a token appearance at the top of leaderboards after the first week every season now. Once again, that appearance has been accompanied by a freefall – Bloomquist hit just .111/.111/.222 after opening the season on a five-game hitting streak and is showing why he's had to bounce around teams and positions his whole career – he simply isn't good enough to be a regular, whether it's your fantasy team's lineup or Arizona's.
2. Brad Lidge, RP, WAS: Lidge's shakiness was mentioned above. Here's exactly what I mean: Lidge has appeared seven times for the Nationals and allowed seven hits, seven walks and four runs. In his second successful save against Houston, Lidge allowed the first two baserunners and went to three-ball counts on two of the outs in the inning. Six of his seven outings have seen at least one baserunner; four of the seven have seen multiple. The job is Henry Rodriguez's to win now.
3. Austin Jackson, OF, DET: Jackson is hitting .281 with three home runs and 12 runs scored as we enter the third week of the fantasy season, which sounds awfully enticing, but let's not forget how much of that is due to his huge first week. The Tigers' leadoff man hit safely in eight of his first 16 at-bats but hit just .111/.200/.333 last week. Those first 16 at-bats will have an undue impact on his batting average for at least a few more weeks, so don't be fooled if an owner tries to dangle a .280-.300 hitting Jackson in front of your face.
4. Josh Johnson, SP, MIA: Johnson finally managed to hold an offense down against Chicago last week, giving up two runs and seven hits over seven innings, but he still hasn't showcased the swing-and-miss stuff that made him such a force when healthy the last few years. He's only drawing swinging strikes on 5.7% of pitches, down from a 9.6% career average, and his K/9 is down to a weak 4.32. Still, he had a 2.14 ERA between 2010 and 2011, so it's understandably hard to give up on him now. However, if the whiffs don't come soon, it might be time to downgrade him.
5. Clay Buchholz, SP, BOS: Buchholz hasn't looked himself at all since returning from the back injury which sidelined him last season. His velocity is down (average fastball of 91.8 MPH), he isn't missing bats (5.6% swinging strikes) and the results obviously aren't there (17 earned runs in as many innings). It's tough to make a quick judgment on 285 pitches, but he just hasn't been able to use his fastball effectively yet, and without his fastball he just isn't the same pitcher who was so effective in 2010 and 2011.

Ever since Charles Alcock (no jokes from us on that name, EFW is a family publication and remains strictly above the waist) suggested on 20 July 1871: 'That it is desirable that a Challenge Cup should be established in connection with The Association, for which all clubs belonging to The Association should be invited to compete', the great and good of the footie world have been up for the cup.
As we end the first week of the New Year and the EFW de-tox diet goes out the window along comes the magic of the Cup for another bout of thrills, spills and fixture congestion bellyaches for managers. The Cup now carries a sponsors moniker and has become the E-on FA Cup, but don't let that put you off. Here at EFW towers we're powered by windmills and bunny rabbits on treadmills so need to doff our caps to this particular sponsor.
Third round weekend, or to give it its proper name "Third Round Proper" weekend, is often more fun than a barrel of monkeys as fans from across the land pop up to the loft, dust off their tin foil covered cardboard replica cups, and head off dreaming of a trip to Wemberleee in May.
There is one spanner in the works though, those tardy folk down at Lincoln are still embroiled in a Second Round Proper clash with Hereford, with the winners set to play their third round proper tie on Tuesday. Here's a question for the Roy Castles out there, has any team ever gone from the 2nd to 4th round in three days? Answers on a postcode please, our new code of conduct means that unfortunately we can no longer offer £1,000 prizes but we will send you the name of a good Doctor to go and see.
FA Cup weekends are nothing if not a time for cliches and more recently the chance to air the annual debate of whether the Cup has lost its magic as Premiership managers field a sprinkling of the under 12 squad alongside has beens, never will beens and probably some Jelly Beans. Not one to wallow in nostalgia, oh go on then just this once, but it is a fact that it's not what it was.
As we go under the name of European Football weekends we better keep our friends at Trading Standards happy and throw in some Euro chat to the debate. Our European cousins were not lucky enough to have a visionary such as Mr Alcock and have been known to treat their cups as a secret mistress. Once in a while they pop out for a liaison, hope no one is watching then shuffle off guiltily back to their loved one, the league.
This has long been the continental way, their style of football being more suited to the long game of a league rather than the blood and thunder of one-off cup football, and as with weights and measures, where Europe leads we often follow. Now, as our name suggests we're all about Europe, even the most blinkered amongst us would admit our Euro chums are often ahead of the game when compared to Blighty. When in the 70's we were happy to bend our knees in homage to Brotherhood of Man, Europe was swinging it's stylish sparkly boots to ABBA. But, when it comes to Cups, it's a British thing and like warm beer Europe doesn't get it and as more European managers take top jobs with British clubs the culture of the cup has suffered.
There's no one single reason why the Cup doesn't quite sparkle as it once did and you can probably take your pick from three of the following TV, Sky, European comps, VAT, price of milk and Simon Cowell.
EFW is staying close to home for this week's match and is off to the Theatre of Trees for a South Coast Derby. It's neither clubs main local derby as Portsmouth have Southampton and Brighton have Palace, but as grade B derbys go it's not a bad one. Some Albion fans regard Pompey as their main rivals, and up until the 70's this was probably the case. Whilst the cities of Brighton & Hove combine to give the team it's famous name, the support comes from all four corners of Sussex which means that for those in the West of the County Portsmouth is just a few miles down the road.
Both clubs in recent years have had the prefix "crisis club" cut and pasted by journos before their names, let's face it there's not that many clubs who haven't, but Brighton and Pompey both decided to go the whole hog and see how close they could get to extinction. As both embark on their recoveries, the EFW stethoscope reports Brighton in the ruder health as Portsmouth shake off their debts and Fred Carno circus reputation of recent years.
Pompey's plight tended to attract less sympathy from the football world, whilst you always feel for those who feared losing a club they loved, at least they had a good time whilst the club was going down the pan. Perhaps most shockingly off all though, players and officials (**cough Peter Storrie cough**) were picking up handsome salaries whilst St John's Ambulance bills were going unpaid and loyal club staff were being given the old Spanish archer (El bow).
EFW popped down the local library this week to check out the manual on "How to run a football club" and funnily enough the words "Israeli arms dealer, dodgy deals, back street massage parlours or skint Hong Kong businessmen" didn't feature too prominently.
Both clubs also have a cup pedigree. Pompey famously held the cup through the war years and bought it (sorry won it) again under Harry Redknapp, and managed the Albion double last year of reaching a cup final and being relegated. Brighton of course were a Gary Bailey leg away from lifting the cup in 1983, just as Stanley Matthews gave his name to the 1953 final, 30 years on Gordon Smith became synonymous with the '83 final thanks to the wonderful and still much missed Peter Jones.
As a Championship club Pompey enter the cup at this stage, that is the Third Round Proper, whilst Brighton have twice toyed with the idea of being knocked out by non-league oppo, only to think better of it in the replay.
After the on and off field dramas of the FC United tie, the last thing the Sussex constabulary would have wanted was a second consecutive Category C FA Cup fixture. Unlike FC United, Portsmouth do have a bit of a reputation in the trouble stakes, we at EFW should know having nearly been on the receiving end. Back in the late 80's and following a game at Fratton Park, a collection of their finest were galloping towards us, as you know we're more lovers than fighters and were not exactly relishing the prospect that awaited us, and there may even have been a Gary Lineker V Ireland World Cup moment going on. So, you can imagine the all round relief as they ran past and into another group 30 yards down the road!
The 6.57 Crew have been quieter of late. Perhaps since the privatisation of the trains there isn't even a 6.57 anymore? It does make you wonder what they would be called if they were starting up today, "Train delayed due to driver being stuck at Southsea" probably.
Onto the match, at last you say, both sides apparently put out strong XI's, I say apparently as after several pre-match Harveys and a few chasers in EFW's Lord Nelson HQ Gully's Girls could have been playing for all I knew, and in all probability would still have won.
Much has been said and written about the Withdean experience, it will never be the best, but given the right conditions and a full house you can just about squeeze an atmosphere out of the place. Approaching kick there was an air of anticipation and the cup seemed to be working its magic as songs rolled down from the South Stand and the Pompey fans, minus their bell, chimed away. It must be said though that the world's best fans (self anointed) were quieter than expected. Just to put them properly in their place Woking and of course FC United were better visitors.
Brighton started the better, were better in the middle bit and in all honesty finished the better. So no surprise they ran out 3-1 winners. Despite fielding the likes of Kanu, ex-England forward Nugent, Ginger Kitson and Liam Lawrence, Portsmouth were no match for Brighton. That's about as much as you need as a match report, I'm sure Brighton wouldn't have expected such a straightforward journey into the 4th round but the result was rarely in doubt.
Portsmouth were disappointing and didn't looked interested, Kitson got himself needlessly sent off for an off the ball elbow and the rest of the Pompey team seemed in a race to join the Ginger one in an early bath. Post-match their gaffer, Steve Cotterill, tried to blame the red card on their defeat but the truth is they were never at the races.
After a good string of results over the crimbo period the Gus Bus rolls on and at times today the passing and play was as good as its been this year. A work out against higher league oppo is always a good gauge of progress and based on this performance you would back them to hold their own should they gain promotion to Div 2 (in old money).
Her majesty's constabulary did a better job post-match than they did of protecting the Heir to the throne against the students and all seemed to pass of peacefully. There were reports of various games of Mike Read says Run A Round in Lancing, Worthing and all stops to Portsmouth Harbour in the evening, but no real incidents of note to spoil what was a good day for the Albion.
The 4th round is not to be sneezed and after a gap of 17 years Brighton have now reached that stage for the 2nd consecutive season. The cash from a cup run is always welcome, but more importantly it's a great opportunity for Gus's young team to pit themselves against teams from a higher division and to show just what a good team they are becoming.
Pompey fans were gracious in defeat and we even enjoyed a chat with Mr Portsmouth himself on the train home. The word character doesn't really do him justice, let's be honest it takes some balls to go to footie in clown shoes and a big wig. In Pompey's troubled times he showed himself to be an articulate defender of the genuine fan and spoke out against the excesses of the game.
The Albion are still very much up for the cup and far from being a diversion from promotion the cup run could give a big boost to their confidence....altogether now....

Gordon appreciative, Truex livid as NASCAR adjusts Chase field
JOLIET, Ill. – Jeff Gordon felt appreciative. Martin Truex Jr. on the other hand was livid. Joey Logano? Vindicated.
In one of the most dramatic days of the season, NASCAR finally put a close on a race that had ended six nights earlier when it decided to take the extraordinary step of putting Gordon into the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
It was the second time in five days where NASCAR changed the Chase field in light of information that either proved that a team manipulated the finish or at least made that attempt Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway.
On Monday, it knocked Truex out of the Chase and put Ryan Newman in because of the actions of Michael Waltrip Racing. Then mid-afternoon Friday at Chicagoland Speedway, NASCAR chairman Brian France said he was increasing the Chase field to add Gordon because he believed Gordon faced an unfair disadvantage resulting from MWR actions as well as the talk of a deal between Front Row Motorsports driver David Gilliland and Logano to help Logano get into the Chase.
Driver reactions were mixed depending at least in part of who benefited.
"There was a lot of ups and downs of emotions for this entire team this week," Gordon said after qualifying Friday at Chicagoland Speedway. "They've been through a lot. … I'm very appreciative, very thankful to be in. I know it's under the most unbelievable circumstances I've ever been part of in my racing career.
"I wish that we could have just raced for it on Saturday night but that wasn't the case."
Truex, who benefited from a spin by MWR teammate Clint Bowyer and the pitting of Brian Vickers at Richmond, still is out of the Chase. Truex still has a 50-point penalty, and the team is reeling from a record $300,000 fine and the indefinite suspension of general manager Ty Norris for those violations.
"I'm not even sure what to say at this point to be honest with you," Truex said. "I'm kind of at a loss for words. How they make a spot for somebody? They kick me out to make spot for somebody and then they don't do the same for the other guys. It's just unfair, and nothing I can do about it."
Gordon indicated that Truex was somewhat justified as he didn't know what his teammates were doing to help him but believes Bowyer's spin was intentional and manipulated the race.
"The guy didn't do anything wrong," Gordon said. "For that, I felt bad for him. But we didn't get to see the race play out. We don't know what the results were going to be because of the circumstances of that spin changed everything.
"That, to me, is the only reason I'm accepting being in the 13th (spot) because under normal circumstances I would say, 'No, that's not right.'"
At least one other driver felt that for Gordon to get in, another should come out.
"Of course I'm very happy that Jeff is in the Chase," said Jimmie Johnson, the five-time Cup champion and Gordon teammate. "In my opinion though I believe there should be 12 cars. One in one out should be the deal. It's not, but there are a lot of things to consider and look at.
"It's been an interesting week to say the least."
Newman was among the drivers who questioned the decision in light that Logano's team already was on probation. Both Penske Racing and Front Row Motorsports were put on organizational probation for the rest of the season.
"There's a police call, there's a parole call, there's a probation call, there's a sentencing call that all needs to be defined," Newman said. "There sure has been a lot of probation going on, and there doesn't seem to be any penalty for having multiple probations right now."
Logano said he was never nervous his team would receive a penalty. The only radio chatter was on Gilliland's channel, and NASCAR ruled that it didn't believe Gilliland's team actually received something—NASCAR said it was just talk—for Gilliland to lose spots to him.
"There wasn't any worry in my mind that we weren't going to be in the Chase," said Logano, who won the pole for the Chase-opening race Sunday. "I felt like we deserved to be here."
NASCAR did not give the team's any notice of the decision and the Hendrick teams learned while watching on television.
"I was probably just as surprised as anybody that anything happened because it was so far into the week and here we are at the racetrack," Dale Earnhardt Jr. said. "It's really extraordinary and unprecedented was the words that they used and it's definitely that.
"I don't know what is fair anymore. You could have done it a million different ways and I don't know that one is better than the other. … The whole thing is a mess. Putting Jeff in is somewhat redemption for him."
NASCAR will meet with the drivers Saturday afternoon to give them new guidelines on what is acceptable as far as helping teammates. Several drivers hope that they get a chance to speak at the meeting as they try to discuss not only what the new rules will be but also how NASCAR plans to police those rules.
"As drivers, we should have a say in how things happen with respect to what goes on the racetrack," Newman said. "They have to worry about getting people in the grandstands and making sure that it's a fair show."

I see a few folks putting more thinking into their votes on object pages now that we have a new voting system, which is great and provides good feedback to others.
But there are still a lot of members out there that vote 10/10 on everything, no matter how sparse the mountain page. These folks tend to put a 10 on a page if it is by a certain person, or meets a minimum criteria, and then just skip over the other pages if they feel a 10 is not warranted. Last week another member suggested that we might put in place a mechanism that would decrease the weight of votes by members who always voted with 10s, that way it would bring it more in line with the other members.
Basically we would have a mechanism that would automatically evaluate all the votes placed on objects, and if a certain percentage were 10s it could decrease the vote weighting for that member. So then vote weight would be based both on power points and voting history.
Just as an example with respect to how voting 10s on everything is not beneficial... last week I put an 8 on the page for Grinnell Mountain. The author is a brand new member, and this is his first page. The page is pretty good, but not perfect (actually the text is pretty damn good and at this point might be close enough to perfect... it looks like he has added to it). But the owner PM'd me just to ask what he could do to improve the page. We had a fairly productive discussion and I noted that with a few more pics and integrating a few into the page to should the mountain and route that he would not only have a higher vote from me, but also many more votes (if someone doesn't have pics on a page most of you that vote 10/10 on everything just skip it). This appears to be what has happened with his page... to date several of us have given it 8s and 9s due to his excellent writeup, but the folks who vote 10 on everything have unfortunately just skipped it (just because of a few pictures). I should also note that the writeups are generally more work than the photos, and I think they are often more valuable.
I will also point out that getting an 8 is much better for a page than someone not voting on it at all because they only use 10s. So... for those of you that believe that a 7 or 8 might hurt someone's pride... don't feel that way. Not voting on their page is worse (the equivalent of voting a 5 or 6). But also... this is not trying to discourage voting 10/10 on pages that deserve it. I've seen several pages recently (especially a few route pages) that I think most would agree really do deserve a 10.
So what do others think?

Two young girls missing from Talihina have been found
UPDATE: Authorities in Latimer county have announced that both girls were located and safe around 6 p.m.Tracy Lake of Talihina awoke this morning just a little after 5 a.m. She got up like every morning and went to make coffee. She then went to wake up her daughter, Mercedes, 14, and her neice Rheil-lee, 13, but the girls were no where to be found. That's when she noticed that her door was half open.It was first believed that the two girls snuck out during the night to hang out with friends, but none of their friends have seen them.Mercedes is a white female with long black hair that has blonde streaks and brown eyes. She is 5'6" tall and weighs approximately 125 pounds. She was believed to be carrying a zebra print back pack which according to her mother was found earlier today on Ponderosa Road in Talihina. Rheil-lee is a white female with dirty blonde shoulder length hair and brown eyes. She is slightly shorter than Mercedes and weighs approximately 140 pounds. She was believed to be carrying a Black and Gray DC backpack and the DC is written in hot pink. Lake said that Mercedes has a cell phone but it appears to be turned off. She said that authorities have attempted to locate the girls through the phone but AT&T said that the battery must be out of the phone because the GPS isn't working. Because Lake and her daughter live less than a 1/4 mile from the county line, the Latimer County Sheriff's Department is investigating the matter. PDN was told that the Deputy working the case was unavailable and that the dispatcher didn't have any further details. Mercedes Rogers is a student at Talihina Public Schools. Rheil-lee Maxwell attends Checotah Public Schools. If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of these two girls please contact the Latimer County Sheriff's Department at 918-465-2161 or your local law enforcement agency. Lake was not sure if the girls had been entered as missing or runaway in the national crime information center. PDN will continue to update the story as details emerge.

Adam Green has a great post on programmableweb this morning about Twitter API Rate Limits – with great tips on how to get the most out of the Twitter API without hitting rate limits.
Sharing API calls between your server side and the client's browser is actually critical to making some Twitter integrations work and there's a great tip on how to use server side caching:
You can call the API from the browser, display the results, and then call your server with the data you got from the API. In effect you are using all of the user browsers as a large collection grid. This approach can be used to reduce the amount of API calls you have to do from the server.
API Rate Limiting: Mapping Use Cases
This type of technique highlights how important it is for API Providers to map out the use cases they aim to support with their APIs – since rate limits can typically completely handicap some usage scenarios – in particular for APIS which have server-side and end-user scenarios. Here are some of the things we recommend 3scale API Providers think about when planning rate limits:
Which audiences does your API Target? Customers? Partners? End Users?
What are the typical integration cases for each of those groups – bulk downloads? regular scheduled queries? user driven calls caused by browser activity?
Which groups of API calls go together and get called in sequence – e.g. is it possible to do something useful with 1-2 calls or do you need 5 or 6? Often this might result in an API redesign – but some APIs are inherently call hungry (for example in mapping visualisations you'll often need to grab offscreen tiles as well as onscreen to create smooth scrolling).
How are the API call dynamics affected by end user actions? In the case of pure-server side interactions there is often no variance based on usage of the applications calling the API since the server caches responses – however across the spectrum for mobile apps, the usage volume of a mobile application which goes viral is almost entirely out of the control of the developer that wrote the application.
Do you allow caching? Often API Providers instinctively disallow response caching on their API due to fear of data misuse. However often caching significantly reduces the volume of API calls which need to be made and hence server loads. Giving developers the right parameters to build efficient applications is good practice where other constraints allow.
Adam Green's point on caching browser as well as per-user and per-IP limiting highlights that often as an API provider you might need rate limiting for multiple dimensions of API usage.
As a developer, when doing something like browser data collection, you should always ensure that you're doing this in way which doesn't violate either user-privacy (by sharing authenticated data across users or overburdening the browser) but it's a powerful tool and one that benefits the API Provider as well if done right.
3scale's infrastructure supports all of the above – most providers use application rate limiting to manage access per application key or credentials, others (most often for mobile APIs) add user-rate limiting which allows restrictions on the number of calls per identified user (much as Twitter does) and others also use IP and/or Referrer domain filtering. Often a combination is the best way to facilitate access without having runaway data usage by a few rogue applications or users.

Advice for car owners
Preventing car theft
Car thieves are becoming increasingly organized and, in a few seconds, can have your vehicle taken far away.
Bear in mind that criminals will choose an easy target. By following the steps below you can make it difficult for a criminal to steal your car.
- Close all windows and lock all doors and the boot (trunk), even if you only leave your car for a moment.
- Never leave your vehicle running unattended.
- Where possible, park in a well-lit highly visible area, preferably off the road. At night, choose secure or well-lit car parks, with pedestrian traffic. Avoid leaving your vehicle in a car park for a long time.
- Try to park the vehicle with the front facing an obstacle. Turn the wheels towards the kerb and lock the steering.
- Always try to use all protection you have on the vehicle. Put all labels for protection devices in a visible place (do not display your GPS label).
- Disable the vehicle using a starter interrupt switch ("kill switch"). Installation is not expensive.
- Use VIN etching. This chemically etches the Vehicle Identification Number or registration number on the windows of your vehicle which is an effective deterrent for thieves. "Chop shops" (places where stolen cars are disassembled to be sold for parts) thrive on vehicles that have easily removable VINs or no etching at all.
- If you leave the vehicle for a longer period, take off the fuses, or disconnect the power supply, after consultation with your mechanic service.
- These precautions should be taken even if your car is in your garage. Also close all access to the garage (entry barriers) and the garage door itself.
- Never leave your keys with car park employees or in car wash services.
- Never mark your keys with your name and address. Mark them with your business name and suburb or driver's license number.
- At your home, do not leave keys lying around on tables, desks or key hooks.
- Remove registration papers from your motor vehicle, to make it difficult for the thief to sell it on the black market.

Nancy Carey, a volunteer wildlife rehabilitator from Underhill, received two baby skunks from Barre in early July that tested positive for rabies. One had been handled by 11 people who had to be treated for exposure to rabies. It also came in contact with three pets.
Carey worked with Dr. Robert Johnson, Health Department public health veterinarian, to convince everyone possibly who may have been exposed to get vaccinated to prevent a potentially fatal disease that could have been avoided if everyone followed one simple rule: Do not touch wild animals.
The Vermont Departments of Health and Fish & Wildlife are urging people to leave wildlife in the wild, both out of concern for human health and the well-being of the wild animals involved.
"Wild animals are not pets. Once there has been a possible exposure," Carey said, "we need to find out whether anyone was licked, bitten, scratched, or handled the animal with their bare hands. This is a very serious situation."
Dr. Johnson said the work of the state's 14 volunteer wildlife rehabilitators is often unheralded, but the work they do is critical to protecting public health and preventing the spread of disease.
"Most veterinary clinics do not treat wild animals, only domestic, and the work of the rehabilitators – and Nancy Carey in particular – is truly remarkable," Johnson said.
In many cases, young wildlife that appear abandoned really are not. They are best left alone so their mothers can care for them. Rabid animals cannot be rehabilitated, and neither can deer or moose.
"If you care let us, know it is there. Call first. If it is in harm's way a parking lot or in your dog or cat's mouth, use gloves a blanket get it out of harm's way and call us. That way we can determine if it needs to be rescued."
Avoid any wild animal that is acting strangely and contact the Vermont Rabies Hotline: 1-800-472-2437 (1-800-4-RABIES).

Bruce McIntyre Watson's three biographical volumes on fur traders working west of the Rocky Mountains to 1858, Lives Lived West of the Divide: A Biographical Dictionary of Fur Traders Working West of the Rockies, 1793-1858, was awarded First Prize in the British Columbia Genealogical Society's first annual 2011 Family History Book Awards, July 17, 2011 at the BCGS Walter Draycott Library's annual Open House. Details of some 3500 individuals are in these books; along with more from the results of the author's twenty years of research into daily life in the fur trade. Although described as a 'biographical dictionary', all three volumes should be read together as each contains different information about the fur trade.
These were published through the Centre for Social, Spatial, and Economic Justice and are for sale through Lulu.com. Volume 1 though is free there as an electronic book (PDF). Also available at Lulu.com is Bruce's Watson's previous book, co-authored with Jean Barman, Leaving Paradise: Indigenous Hawaiians in the Pacific Northwest (Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 2006).
