I grew up in a family devoted to road-trips, but they were not just a vacation thing. Weekends often found us heading out to nowhere in particular, assured that my mother or father would find something of interest to share with us along the way.
I'm remembering those days as my husband and I travel with our eight-year-old son, Elliott, for a weekend of apple picking in orchards around Lubbock. It's a long trip from Fort Worth to the Caprock, but one that soothes me. When civilization drops away and the world becomes a bigger, quieter place, I sigh with contentment.
As we continue our journey, a high-stepping roadrunner paces us when, just past Duffy's Peak, I remark that listening to the silence is what makes the wide-open spaces of Texas so special to me. Elliott says he just doesn't get it. I order the car pulled over. "You need to be still and listen," I say to my son. He screws up his face and closes his eyes for about 10 seconds. His eyes pop open and he says he doesn't know what it is he hears. "That's silence," I tell him.
"But how can you hear silence?" he wants to know. I say: "Well, because it really isn't silent. It's full of all sorts of sounds you can hear for the first time because of all the sounds you aren't hearing." My explanation leaves him shaking his head. At a scenic overlook on a very empty Farm Road 211, he comes up with the solution. "Leave me here," he says. "Alone."
We negotiate terms that will allow him the illusion of being alone in the wilderness. He will take a seat at the edge of the turnout, and we will climb in the car and pull out of the stop, but only a short distance. We will still be able to see him.
We cut the engine and Elliott turns to face the wide-open expanse. With no machine or human, nor even a power line or train track in his sightlines, he will have the sense he is alone among the red rocks and sailing hawks. I am only 20 feet away from him, but something about his little back framed by so much open space makes my heart beat a bit faster. We sit and watch him as he sits and watches. Ten minutes pass very slowly. No other car passes. He never looks back. He never stirs. Then, in a completely unexpected gift, two deer jump the fence just feet from him. We all shake our heads as if waking from a dream.
"Wahoo!" Elliott shouts as we roll in to pick him up. "Let's do it again!"

Court stops Dallas suburb's immigrant renters law
DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas suburb can't enforce a law that bans immigrants in the United States without legal permission from renting apartments, a federal appeals court said Monday. It's the latest ruling on a series of laws that local governments have passed targeting immigration.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the Farmers Branch ordinance encroached on authority that belongs to the federal government, and called multiple parts of it unconstitutional. The appeals court relied heavily on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision last year that struck down parts of Arizona's immigration law.
"We conclude that enforcement of the ordinance conflicts with federal law," the opinion said.
The suburb's law would have required all renters to obtain licenses. The city's building inspector would check an immigrant's status and deny licenses to anyone in the country without permission, and landlords who allowed immigrants without permits would have faced fines or revocations of their renters' licenses.
Monday's ruling means that unless the U.S. Supreme Court decides to step in, Farmers Branch won't be allowed to enforce the ordinance. Farmers Branch Mayor Bill Glancy said late Monday that he hadn't yet seen the opinion and couldn't comment.
The ordinance has been tied up in legal proceedings, and as of late last year, the city had spent nearly $6 million on legal bills and expenses related to immigration laws, a city spokesman said.
The full appeals court heard arguments last September after a three-judge panel ruled against Farmers Branch in March 2012. The decision to have a full rehearing of a case, known as an en banc hearing, is rare and created speculation that judges wanted to reverse the panel's decision.
Being in the United States without legal permission isn't a crime on its own, the court said, and immigrants in the process of deportation are often required to give agents a reliable address. Banning them from renting apartments "not only fails to facilitate, but obstructs the goal of bringing potentially removable noncitizens to the attention of the federal authorities," the court said.
Judges also questioned the process in which a renter or a landlord would be told to appeal a decision under the law in Texas state court, which the court said could open "the door to conflicting state and federal rulings on the question" of whether someone could legally live in America.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a well-known advocate for tougher immigration laws who argued the case on Farmers Branch's behalf, did not return a phone message.
William Brewer, the plaintiffs' lead attorney, called the decision "critically important" because the town had "thrust itself into the national debate over immigration."
Nina Perales, vice president of litigation for the Latino civil-rights group MALDEF, said the court's ruling sent a strong message that there were "few legal ways" for states and local governments to get involved in immigration.
"It is our sincere hope that (Farmers Branch) will accept the court's ruling, stop wasting the taxpayers' money, and move on to issues of real public concern," Perales said.
Other towns that have fought to enact similar laws have seen mixed success. A federal appeals court ruled against a renters' ordinance in Hazleton, Pa., but a different appeals court last month allowed law passed in the eastern Nebraska city of Fremont to go into effect.

Posted by Dave Cooney: email
The NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers followed up an uncharacteristic one-sided loss with a gritty division-opening win last week.
They're expecting another tough battle when they visit the desert Monday night.
Points could be hard to come by as San Francisco -- winner of 10 of 12 against division opponents -- squares off against the offensively-challenged Arizona Cardinals, who are hoping to avoid a fourth consecutive loss.
After suffering a 26-3 defeat to the New York Giants in Week 6, the 49ers (5-2) got back on track last Thursday with a 13-6 win over Seattle. Frank Gore ran for a season-high 131 yards and added five receptions for another 51 while the defense limited the Seahawks to 251 yards of total offense.
"We expect these games in the NFC West to be 60 minutes of physical football," left tackle Joe Staley said.
Gore was forced from that victory with bruised ribs but -- thanks to 10 days off -- should be good to go for what sets up as another highly-competitive showdown Monday night.
While the 49ers are giving up an NFL-low 272.3 yards per game and rank second with 14.3 points allowed, Arizona (4-3) isn't far behind. The Cardinals are holding opponents to averages of 16.9 points and 312.1 yards to rank fourth and seventh, respectively.
"All of the teams in the NFC West have a defense that's strong, that's very physical," Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt told the 49ers' official website. "That's a great quality for our division to show to the rest of the league. I know that it will be a physical game on Monday night. It always is when we play the 49ers."
San Francisco had held the Cardinals to 9.0 points during a five-game win streak in this series before falling 21-19 in Arizona on Dec. 11.
"They play outstanding defense... ," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "A team that we know. They know us. Have a lot of respect for the Cardinals."
Since averaging 22.8 points in winning its first four games to post its best start in 38 years, Arizona has been limited to a combined 33 in dropping three in a row. The Cardinals outgained Minnesota 356-209 in total offense but came up short last Sunday, falling 21-14.
"It kind of feels like we're not handling our side of the ball," LaRod Stephens-Howling said after running for a career-best 104 yards and a TD. "The defense is playing great, the special teams are playing great, we just need to pick it up and score points."
While Stephens-Howling was able to provide a spark, John Skelton struggled in his second start of the season. Skelton threw for 262 yards with a touchdown but was sacked seven times and committed two turnovers.
Skelton has compiled an NFL-worst 4.9 interception percentage since Nov. 6, throwing 17 picks in 349 attempts.
"You can't squander it," he told the team's official website. "You can't give it away. The way our defense is playing, any points on the board is really a win for us, because we know we're not going to have to get into a shootout with anyone at this point."
Sitting in a second-place tie with Seattle, Arizona dropped one game behind San Francisco with last Sunday's loss.
"Those guys are definitely where we want to be," cornerback Patrick Peterson said. "Those guys are the NFC West champs as of right now. As an Arizona Cardinals team, we have a lot to prove and we want to get where those guys are."
Slowing down San Francisco's ground game could prove crucial if Arizona hopes to stick around Monday. The 49ers have recorded 176.6 rushing yards per contest to rank second in the league -- nearly double what the Cardinals are averaging (89.3).
"It seems to me they run the ball on everybody," said Whisenhunt, whose team has surrendered 331 rushing yards on 5.5 per carry during its last two games.
"It doesn't matter who it is, they've done a nice job. They've got a good scheme, they're well-coached. I've watched Frank Gore for a number of years and have great respect for him as a player."
Gore has averaged 113.2 yards from scrimmage and ran for 11 touchdowns in 11 career starts against the Cardinals.
Arizona has dropped eight of its last nine Monday night games, with its lone win coming 29-24 over San Francisco on Nov. 10, 2008.
"There's just a different feel about playing a Monday night game," Cardinals center Lyle Sendlein said. "It's like a playoff game. It's always intense."

Everyday (Subtle) Sexism
This picture was put up as a "joke" by a guy that I know to be a smart, worldly man who has done a lot of thinking about (among other things) gender. It's part of a basic trope that I hear echoes of all the time: "Women are complex. Men are simple." I think it's pretty sexist--it's part of the whole "Mars vs. Venus" line of thinking which oversimplifies sex and gender is so many ways that it's difficult to know where to begin when criticizing it. (Ok, a beginning: There is more variation between individual men and between individual women as regards behavior than there is between women and men. )
I think it's often a good idea to point out this kind of everyday, subtle sexism, because it's exactly the kind of sexism that well-meaning people want pointed out to them--I try to appreciate it when folks point out that I'm using sexist (or racist, or homophobic, or whatever) ideas especially when I'm just not aware of them. Unfortunately, this sort of thing doesn't always play out so well for me; when I pointed out the sexism involved in the picture, it was not well-received, even by a guy who has a lot of experience with social justice issues and oppression.
So what do you folks do when you run into everyday, subtle sexism?

Hand-Screened Graphical Wallpaper by Cavern
Boutique wallpaper designer Cavern offers an intriguing collection of patterns that is bold and graphical, yet still feels raw and organic, like a hand-drawn sketch. Started in 2005 by two friends on two different coasts, the Los Angeles and New York City-based studio produces a line of mostly nature and tribal-inspired wallpaper, ranging from the classic (birds perched on tree limbs) to the eclectic (tiger heads in an abstracted repeat).
In 2010, Cavern collaborated with five contemporary artists who had never designed wallpaper before, and asked them to do just that. The resulting Artist Editions are punchy, quirky, and as diverse as their designers (a roster that includes widely exhibited NYC illustrator Tom Slaughter and neurologist-cum-artist David Stark).
The panels are hand-silkscreened in Los Angeles using environmentally friendly, water-based inks.
All wallpapers are 27" W x 180" L and retail for $155 per roll. One roll covers approximately 33 square feet.
Signature collection in photos 1-6
1. Blackbird (available in white, green, brown, kraft, snow)
2. Talisman (available in moss, rust, stone)
3. Navajo (available in turquoise, mud)
4. Tigerlace (available in gold, salt)
5. Migration (available in oslo, london)
6. Thatch (available in black, canyon, silt, fog)
Artist Editions in photos 7-8
7. New York City Watertowers (available in black and white, shadow, sunset)

During the first 40 years of the Internet, security has been about patching mistakes that have been made in its architecture and software and defending these vulnerabilities against attacks from the outside. The future will be about creating an environment that is secure by design and has the ability to anticipate rather than merely respond to threats, government and industry experts say.
This will not be a single secure infrastructure, but an ecosystem of technologies designed to better handle the basic chores of systems development; identity management and access control; and monitoring, analysis and response.
The Internet was not designed to be secure. When originally launched by the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency, it was not intended for public use. As it grew, development has always been more about what could be done with it rather than what should or should not be done. Today the Internet has become integral to the economy and security, while cybersecurity has become a front-page issue and observers see the need for fundamental shifts in the way we secure it.
"It is clear that old, reactive, perimeter-based models of security are inadequate."-- Art Coviello, RSA.
"This does not mean perfect security, but instead a model that evolves and learns from change, whether process, technology or threat related," said Art Coviello, executive chairman of RSA.
"We have a tendency to talk about the threat, and there's not a lot we can do about that," said Ron Ross of the National Institute of Standards Technology, who heads the implementation program for the Federal Information Security Management Act.
Good cybersecurity hygiene is important, Ross said. That means covering the basics of knowing your systems, understanding and managing their configurations, and ensuring that the proper defenses are in place. "But we need to go beyond that and make a difference in architecture and engineering," he said.
NIST is contributing to this shift with its catalog of FISMA security controls, Special Publication 800-53 Rev. 4, which contains guidelines for agencies to specify trustworthy design and operation of systems being procured. NIST also is working with an interagency working group to develop guidelines for engineering and supply chain security, which are intended to create a foundation for a more secure infrastructure in the future.
And the agency is taking the lead in the creation of an Identity Ecosystem under the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, which Jeremy Grant, head of the NSTIC National Program Office, calls a marketplace that will offer a variety of interoperable credentialing solutions.
NSTIC is intended to address the failings of current identity management and access control schemes. Although technologies to securely authenticate remote users exist, scaling them across large user bases and multiple applications is cumbersome. As a result, many users and applications default to less-than-secure schemes such as simple user names and passwords, which are vulnerable to a wide variety of attacks.
The marketplace already is responding to the problem, and companies including Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Apple have started offering customers multifactor authentication, Grant said. "NSTIC will provide a framework to facilitate interoperability between these solutions and others, and ensure that they are privacy-enhancing, secure, cost-effective and easy to use."
"NIST is leading a public-private partnership to develop the Identity Ecosystem by funding pilot projects that are enabling consumers and service providers to obtain and make use of trusted credentialing solutions," Grant said. "It is supporting creation of the Federal Cloud Credential Exchange to help federal agencies more easily accept trusted, FICAM-approved credentials for access to government applications."
The NSTIC program office is working with the Identity Ecosystem Steering Group, a private sector-led organization formed to craft the legal, policy and standards framework to support the Identity Ecosystem.
Trustworthy systems and trusted identities will not eliminate threats, and administrators still will have to defend their systems from attacks. "We are at the critical crossroads in the next phase of the evolution of the Information Age," Coviello said. "As we face an evolving and escalating threat landscape, it is clear that old, reactive, perimeter-based models of security are inadequate."
Coviello is a proponent of using big data for this, harnessing data analytics for what he calls intelligence-driven security.
"An intelligence-driven security model consists of a thorough understanding of risk, the use of agile controls based on pattern recognition and predictive analytics to replace outdated controls, together with the ability to analyze vast streams of data to produce actionable information," he said. "In an age of open, hyperconnected enterprises this is the only model that will allow us to handle known and even unknown threats, and to help reduce risk to acceptable levels. A model that allows us to detect attacks quickly and respond quickly, a model based on big data."
None of these schemes to improve cybersecurity require creation of new technologies from scratch. But widely implementing and integrating them will be the work of the next five to 10 years.

Let us hope that as each nation develops "intelligence-driven security" that anticipates and responds to threats they don't take "the best defense is a strong offence" to its logical conclusion. But given the present trends, industry and civilian populations might want to begin planning for the internet to become a battlefield with their connected equipment as cannon fodder. Given the importance of communication to life processes this will either be the point at which mankind comes together on earth or makes Albert Einstein's statement about work war IV true. "I don't know with what technology world war III will be fought with but world war IV will be fought with sticks and stones." (Assuming the present crusades aren't considered world war III.)

High Moon Over the Amazon with Patricia Chapple Wright
Tuesday, October 15, 2013
Important information about Museum entry on November 21.
Tuesday, October 15, 2013
From New York City in the 1960s to the depths of the Amazon in the 1970s and '80s, relive one woman's transformation from Brooklyn housewife to an accomplished scientist. Before primatologist Patricia Chapple Wright became the world's foremost expert on lemurs, she was enchanted by another primate— Aotus, the owl monkey, or "monkey of the night." But along her journey to discover the behavior of these unique nocturnal creatures, Wright found more than she expected about family, human nature, and herself.
Following the lecture, Wright will sign copies of her new book, High Moon over the Amazon: My Quest to Understand the Monkeys of the Night.

DreamWorks Animation has been working on a 3D animated iteration of the classic "dog and his pet boy" cartoon Mr. Peabody and Sherman for a few years now, but the first image from the feature film has now surfaced. The original cartoon first appeared as part of the Rocky and Bullwinkle show, and DreamWorks Animation's version boasts the voice talent of Ty Burrell (Modern Family) as the dog and Max Charles (The Amazing Spider-Man) as the boy. The story finds Peabody's "pet boy"using the genius dog's time machine without permission, thus sending events in history spiraling out of control.
Hit the jump to check out the first image of DreamWorks-rendered Mr. Peabody and Sherman. The film opens in 3D on March 14th, 2014.
Here's the synopsis for Mr. Peabody and Sherman:
Based on Jay Ward's classic cartoon, Mr. Peabody is the world's smartest person who happens to be a dog. When his "pet" boy Sherman uses their time traveling WABAC machine without permission, events in history spiral out of control. It's up to this most unexpected of "father-son" teams to somehow put things back on track before the space-time continuum is irreparably destroyed.

With Halloween just around the corner, the job search portal CareerCast.com has released its seasonally appropriate list of the creepiest careers in America. The list of six vocations focused on those that required contact with insects and other vermin, and disclosed their average annual salaries. But CNBC.com decided to supplement the list with other jobs as well, jobs that are considered creepy in multiple senses of the word.
What follows is a list of jobs that are not for anyone but those with very strong stomachs. Some of them pay well and some don't. Some require years of schooling, while others only offer the trial by fire that is on-the-job training, whether the rookie hire is ready for it or not. Whatever the case, these jobs are for a narrow subset of workers with a high threshold for unpleasantness.
What are 10 of the creepiest jobs in America? Click ahead and find out.

Minnesota Twins Beat Cleveland Indians, 8-7
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- After Justin Morneau homered in the ninth inning to beat Cleveland, Indians manager Manny Acta bemoaned another shot the Minnesota slugger tagged.
Acta was disappointed in the way starter Corey Kluber approached Morneau much earlier in the Twins' 8-7 win Sunday.
Morneau hit a two-run homer in the third after Kluber got ahead of him.
The Indians had taken a 4-0 lead when Kluber tried to get Morneau out on an 0-2 changeup.
The Twins also hit a pair of 0-2 pitches in the seventh to take the lead. Joe Mauer doubled off Esmil Rogers to put runners on second and third and Chris Parmelee later hit a sharp, two-out, two-run single off Tony Sipp.
With one out in the ninth, Morneau hit the first pitch from Vinnie Pestano (3-2) just inside the right-field foul pole for his 19th homer of the season. Morneau has four two-homer games this season.
Brian Duensing (4-2) pitched 1 1-3 innings of scoreless relief to pick up the victory for the Twins. Minnesota's Joe Mauer had three hits -- a single, double and triple -- and scored twice.
Carlos Santana had three hits, including a home run, and scored twice for Cleveland. Brent Lillibridge and Michael Brantley each scored a pair of runs for the Indians.
The Twins have won two in a row and are now 5-4 in September. The victory also moves Minnesota within one game of Cleveland in an attempt to get out of last place in the AL Central.

Thanks, guys. I'm all in.
My two hour commute each way is a help for the updates. Fortunately or unfortunately, that's soon coming to an end. I'm leaving my gig in Manhattan after two and a half years and starting a new assignment only fifteen minutes from my house. The train updates will be no more, but I should have time before or after work to keep them up. I'm so looking forward to an extra hour of sleep. Waking up at 4:30 every day to get into Manhattan gets really old.
That is a good point about the time of the sub and any goals. I compare the box scores looking for goals, assists, cards, saves, and subs. I should look at the minutes as well for the subs. But thanks for double-checking.

Florida RV Dealers Gear Up for Holiday Sales
August 30, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Florida RV Dealers Gear Up for Holiday Sales
Recreational vehicles have become synonymous with the three-day weekend celebrating the efforts of working Americans and the end of summer. That means RV dealerships are gearing up for this week's influx of customers, who are preparing for next weekend's festivities, wherever the road leads them, the Florida Times-Union, Jacksonville, reported.
General RV in Orange Park is preparing for the expansion of its Wells Road dealership. Operations Manager John Dyer said that this is a perfect time to rearrange the facility and get ready for the holiday weekend, as well. He has ordered American flags for decoration and is working on reassembling the lot.
General RV has marked down all 2010 products and will have specials on folding camping trailers, fifth-wheels, travel trailers and motorhomes.
"Because of our size and buying power, we are able to put together phenomenal deals," Dyer said. "Our customers benefit from our buying power."
General RV is a family-owned business that has been in existence for 50 years. There are six locations in Michigan, one in Ohio and the one in Orange Park. They sell parts and service all RVs.
Dyer, who has been with the company for 10 years, said the summer months were excellent for General RV, especially the servicing of air-conditioning systems.
The same can be said for another Jacksonville-area dealership.
Matt Bateh, general manager of Suncoast RV on Beach Boulevard, said he's seen an increase in business now that summer is ending.
"With school starting, we are seeing a lot of boat trade-ins for RVs," Bateh said. "We have fewer [customers] interested in pull-behinds, and we have a lot more Northern folks with motorhomes."
Suncoast RV, also a family-owned business, has been in business 28 years. Bateh, who has been with the company for 12 years, said that being family owned and run allows customers to call the owner directly if they have a problem.
For Labor Day, Suncoast RV will have deals on motorhomes and special financing with no payments for three months with 10% down.
"The bank is allowing us to work with customers, so you can get an RV with finance options with a relatively cheap monthly payment, if you qualify," Bateh said.
South on Interstate 95, Camping World RV on Prime Outlets Boulevard in St. Augustine is simply bringing in a large amount of inventory, said General Manager Scottie Manson.
"We are having an open house to promote our excess inventory," Manson said.
Camping World has 47 stores nationwide and has been in business for 40 years. Labor Day is one of the biggest weekends of the year for Camping World, as far as sales go.
"There is nothing that won't be on sale," Manson said of the Labor Day weekend. "We treat customers right; nobody beats our deals."
Camping World also will have special financing with a bank representative on-site at the open house. Appraisers will be on-site, as well, for trade-ins, and the dealership welcomes motorcycles, boats and more.
Alan Dulberger, Camping World RV's general sales manager, is now serving as president of the Florida RV Trade Association, which has been around since 1979. Its purpose is to promote the general welfare of the recreational vehicle and camping industries throughout the state of Florida. Dulberger served as the organization's vice president for the last three years.
"I have been able to bring great customer satisfaction skills [to Camping World RV] from my knowledge [gained] from the association," Dulberger said.
The summer has been outstanding for Dulberger's dealership. Manson said sales are up 50% and not all of them are from motorhome sales and service. Customers are purchasing items like blankets, barbecue grills, motorcycle accessories and picnic accessories.
"The mood is soft in some locations in the industry. It's all doom and gloom," Dulberger said. "But the traffic has been unbelievable here and the mood has been up."

Modern Classics: Bath Toys
I was tickled when Elisabeth wrote about the re-issue of Patrick Ryland's lauded "Fish" (which won the Duke of Edinburgh's Design Award in 1970) because an original is sitting in my bathtub. It belongs to my husband and my mother-in-law had saved it all these years. It got me thinking about why certain designs endure over time and hold as much appeal today as when they were created. Then I started to wonder which bath toys from today have enough timeless appeal that I might one day want to hand them down to my own grandchildren.
My mother-in-law thinks she bought the Ryland fish at Cambridge's legendary and now defunct Design Research store which showcased the best of international design. The Fish design is simple yet elegant, a hallmark of many enduring designs. With this criteria in mind, I rounded up some bath toys currently on the market that I think have a shot at being collectible and revisited by future generations of children. I included the classic rubber ducky which I don't love, but whose popularity never seems to wane.
Do you have any to add to my list?

Fund set up to help teen who lost cow in shooting
North Stonington - Asa Palmer came upon an upsetting sight Saturday morning in a field of his family's dairy farm.
Angel, his nearly year-old Ayrshire heifer, had her jaw shot off sometime late Friday or early Saturday. When Palmer found her, her tongue was so swollen that she couldn't swallow. By the time she was put down Monday, the red-and-white calf hadn't eaten or had any water since Friday.
"I would rather they had shot it dead," said Palmer, 18. "It was horrible to see her like that, it was awful."
David Abely, a North Stonington resident state trooper, said Wednesday that arrest warrants are in the works for the suspects in the shooting. The suspects also wounded a second cow standing in the Palmers' field on Pendleton Hill Road. The second cow, a Holstein, was hit in the ear, and the bullet lodged near its spine, Palmer said.
"There's gonna be a bullet in the back of that cow for life," Palmer said. "They can't get it out; the vet says it would do more harm than good."
Charges will include cruelty to animals, Abely said.
Palmer said three "kids known for causing trouble in town" are the prime suspects. They apparently used a rifle to shoot from the road at a group of 12 cows in the field, he said. Neighbors reported two gunshots, a pause, and then three more, Palmer said, sometime in the early morning hours Saturday.
"I wish I could tell you why they did it," said Palmer, a senior at Wheeler High School. "I've never done anything to whoever did it, and neither did Angel."
Palmer's father and uncle own Palmer Farm, a North Stonington dairy farm that has about 500 head of cattle, Palmer said. He owns five, now four after Angel's death. The cost for the animal alone, Palmer said, is about $800 to $1,000. If Angel had lived, she would have produced milk and calves, he said, generating income that is now lost.
"It's a lot," he said.
In response to the incident, state Rep. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, announced Wednesday the creation of "The Angel Fund" to raise money for Palmer. Urban said in a news release that she was "sickened and angered" by the shooting, The fund will be set up at Chelsea Groton Bank.
"Asa Palmer is the future of farming in our state," Urban said. "We need to reach out to Asa and his family at this time. This is an opportunity for North Stonington to show our true colors and let Asa know how much we care. I know how hard Asa works and I know how saddened he is by this senseless destructive act. I will be the first person making a donation to help him put his herd back together."
Palmer said he works 25 to 30 hours a week during the school year at the family farm. During the summer, that number reaches 50 or 60 hours, he said. After graduating this June, Palmer said he plans to go to college and major in dairy management. He'll come back to North Stonington to dedicate himself in the family business.
The first order of business, he said, is having those responsible brought to justice for the senseless act.
"There has to be a special place in hell for people like that," Palmer said of the shooting. "They have to just be degenerates."

There's a certain patient population that surgeons see too much of: a particular personality type among lonely middle-aged females, who tend to develop excruciating (to them, at least) abdominal pain, and turn up in clinics and ER rooms with distressing frequency. All too often, what they're really looking for is a percocet script to last them through a difficult week. Unfortunately, it takes some expensive scans/consults/scopes to rule out other problems. (There's more to this scenario, but I don't want to give too many details; there's a reason for my cynicism.)
I spent the last year figuring out that these patients do exist, and that some people with abdominal pain are never going to get better until someone (either a determined intern, an attending tired of hearing about them, or an efficient case manager) puts their foot down and shows them the door.
Now I have to relearn the fact that just because a patient fits a certain profile, she is not necessarily without real problems.
Two patients, actually. The first seemed a classic instance of nothing to treat. She'd been calling the office for a few weeks, complaining of vague abdominal pain, with alternating diarrhea and constipation (this kind of alternating symptomatology often turns out to be simply "irritable bowel syndrome," which to my mind is GI-speak for "I have no idea"). Finally she came in to the ER; the pain was worse, she simply couldn't stay at home. A CT scan showed nothing at all, not even anything to theorize about. She spent a few days in the hospital; we shook our heads every time we discussed her on rounds, and couldn't think of anything particular to do. Eventually she felt better and went home.
But the calls to the office continued, and a week later she came back in. The pain had started at 3pm – precisely – and had never let up since. The CT scan was still impressively benign. But this time she looked so miserable that we had to rethink our conclusions. Plus, being able to pinpoint the exact moment the pain started is usually a bad sign. She was taken to the OR, and found to have a small fascial defect, with a loop of ischemic bowel inside it. Apparently the defect was so small that it was invisible on CT. The loop had probably been intermittently trapped in there for the last month, and this time it was squeezed tight enough to be ischemic, and swollen enough not to slide out on its own. The next day she was a different woman: walking laps in the hallway, smiling, anxious to get back home – and refusing any narcotics at all.
A week later, we got one of our favorite consults. The only time worse than five minutes before evening signout is ten minutes before morning sign-in. Do we have time to see the patient before the chief arrives? Is it better to do a quick job on the consult, maybe miss something in haste, or appear uninformed at sign-in, and then go take more time afterwards?
The patient was a retired gentleman who had been admitted by medicine with complaints nonspecific enough that the ER didn't even consider a surgery consult. Overnight, he'd complained of increasing abdominal pain. A CT was at length obtained. The radiologist discussed various "unusual findings," but couldn't pin down anything specific. Most people who saw him were unimpressed, since he'd been admitted with a smorgasbord of nonsurgical issues (headache, leg swelling, palpitations, etc). But when we finally got to go through the CT carefully, we recognized the most classic case of an internal hernia I've ever seen. (These are usually difficult to visualize on CT, and radiologists often don't call them; it takes a surgeon who's been dealing with the population prone to developing them for years to have any reliable interpretation of them.) He rapidly earned a trip to the OR as well.
Take-home lesson: just because the last ten patients I've seen with this medical history and these complaints had absolutely nothing wrong with them, does not mean that this patient has nothing wrong with him. Each patient deserves a completely fresh slate, and a ground-up approach.

ipd has developed many products supporting larger turbo and higher boost applications. These products, included in our "Boostability" Kit, replace factory components that commonly fail or lack the ability to maintain efficiency at higher outputs. These original factory components can fail prematurely, especially under higher boost levels, and negatively affect charge air stability.
The factory Charge Air Pipe (Over The Engine) can be very expensive to replace. Some models use a V-band style flange that is difficult to find and adapt for modification. Later turbo models came equipped with a plastic (OTE) charge pipe that cracks, especially if someone leans on it when working under the hood. This can cause boost leaks which result in poor running and can be difficult to diagnose.
The factory Turbo inlet hose is brittle, prone to leakage and restrictive. Petrochemicals under the hood can deteriorate fittings creating poor mating surfaces and the seals tend to shrink and leak.
The Integral compressor bypass valve located on the factory turbocharger is inefficient, adding strain on the turbo to maintain target boost. Having the ability to hit and maintain target boost levels quickly and efficiently is something you never knew you could have by bypassing the factory CBV!
Ipd's Boost Ability Kit comes with our state of the art, wire reinforced charge air pipe. The ipd charge air pipe is one solid piece from the turbo compressor cover to the intercooler. This durable silicone charge air pipe increases flow, combats heat, and limits the possibility of blowing off at connection points. Because this pipe only has two clamps, your chances of being left stranded on the side of the highway are reduced!
Also included in the kit is the wire reinforced silicone Turbo Inlet Pipe. Ipd's Turbo Inlet is much larger and more durable than the factory pipe while providing a superior seal. Installing this larger pipe with smoother internal transitions will allow the turbocharger to spool much quicker. The ipd turbo inlet and charge air pipe go hand in hand when converting to an external diverter valve. Both pipes have extended integral bosses that allow you to install an aftermarket external diverter.
The last few products in this kit are all you'll need to maximize the efficiency and performance out of your factory turbocharger. Ipd's HD diverter valve replaces the factory compressor bypass valve and relocates it between the charge Air pipe and turbo Inlet. To run an external diverter valve you'll need to block the factory compressor bypass using an ipd CBV block off plate. The block off plate has been machined specifically for the factory turbocharger ensuring no more wasted boost pressure. By using the block off plate and the ipd adjustable HD diverter valve you can combat boost spikes and compressor surge while maintaining target boost.
Find out what you've been missing by installing one of ipd's Bostability Kits!
2004 & 2005 R models use a V-Band connector at the turbo outlet. A V-Band adapter is required for this kit on 2004-2005 models. Please see recommended products tab.

ROCHESTER — A freelance journalist with Rochester and Lakes Region ties has reportedly been taken prisoner in Libya along with three other journalists by forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi.
ROCHESTER — A freelance journalist with Rochester and Lakes Region ties has reportedly been taken prisoner in Libya along with three other journalists by forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi.
James Foley, 37, of Rochester, is a freelance contributor to Boston-based GlobalPost. According to his parents, John and Diane Foley of Rochester, James has been a freelance journalist for about five years after working as a teacher with Teach for America in Phoenix, Ariz., and later dabbling in fiction writing.
Peter Bouckaert, director of emergencies for Human Rights Watch, who is based in Geneva, told GlobalPost of the detentions early Thursday morning. Bouckaert said the journalists had been taken on Tuesday afternoon while they were reporting on the outskirts of Brega.
GlobalPost reported that Bouckaert's information had come in an e-mail from New York Times reporter C.J. Chivers containing eyewitness accounts at the scene.
"Those witnesses said that the van Foley was traveling in with the other journalists had been stopped by an indirect fire strike and that Gaddafi forces took the journalists prisoner and released the driver," GlobalPost reported.
GlobalPost spokesman Rick Byrne said editors at the website, which focuses on international reporting, last heard from Foley on Monday evening. Byrne said Foley regularly contributes videos and dispatches from the scene.
Diane Foley said "Jimmy" grew up in Wolfeboro and graduated from Kingswood Regional High School in 1990. He later earned an undergraduate degree in history from Marquette University in Milwaukee, a Masters of Fine Arts in writing from University of Massachusetts-Amherst and a graduate degree in journalism from Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.
The Foleys moved to Rochester in 1993 when James was in college. Diane said her son keeps their residence in Rochester as his address, and he was most recently in the Lilac City for an extended two-month break for the holidays.
"He uses our address as his home base, because since he's been doing this he really hasn't had a home," Diane said. "He's always been a very passionate person."
John described his son as an "adventurous" kind of man who sometimes finds New Hampshire "dull" for his taste.
James always wanted to write but couldn't find the correct medium, Diane said. John — a doctor at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover — and Diane — a nurse practitioner, also at WDH — suggested he consider a career in journalism.
"His last semester at Northwestern he was doing conflict reporting in Washington," John said. "At that point, he got embedded with the Indiana National Guard in Iraq. The rest is history."
John said James later went to Afghanistan with the 101st Airborne Division. He keeps a blog, "A World of Troubles," with chronicles of his experiences dating back to February 2008.
His parents were worried when they learned he would be going to Libya about three weeks ago.
"At least before he had some protection," Diane said. "This time it was a leap of faith ... But the thing that's giving us hope is every time we talked to him he'd say how good the Libyan people were to him. One family had him over for dinner, and he was so touched by that."
It was around 10 a.m. on Thursday when John and Diane were notified by one of their other sons that James had been captured. They've been in contact with GlobalPost and felt confident at approximately 6 p.m. from discussions they've had that James is still alive.
"He's doing what he wants to do," John said. "Is this going to change his mind about what he wants to do? I don't think so."
James is not married and does not have any children, his parents said. They asked for prayers from the community at this time.
It's believed that, along with Foley, Clare Morgana Gillis, an American freelance journalist; Manu Brabo, a Spanish photographer; and Anton Hammerl, a South African photographer; were also detained, GlobalPost reported.
GlobalPost said they are working with all of the organizations involved, including the U.S. State Department, Human Rights Watch, and the Committee to Protect Journalists "to gather information and secure the journalists' release."
GlobalPost CEO and President Philip S. Balboni released this statement Thursday afternoon:
"Requests have been made to the Libyan foreign media office for the release of James Foley and the other journalists detained by government forces. We appeal to the Libyan authorities for the immediate and safe release of these journalists. Our thoughts are with Jim's family and with the families of the other journalists."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Jeanne R from Missouri
Really wish I hadn't purchased these. Used it one time and they chewed the nipples off! Needless to say, I went back to the baby bottles.
Cindy B from Oregon
First off, this is my first ever review of any product, which tells you how much I love this product.
I ordered one predrilled bucket, the lid, the teat units and the nipples (latex and rubber). I was intrigued by the description of the product in the catalog because it seemed it would be helpful for kid growth to feed cold milk after 8-10 days because it forces them self-regulate their milk intake and not gorge themselves as they do on the regular lambars.
This is the BEST lambar ever! It's super easy to get the newborns to latch onto the latex nipples and as they grow switch over to the rubber nipples. The lid fits snugly and stays shut even with kids jumping on it. Yet it is very easy to remove. My kids are thriving on the new system. This is the best lambar ever!!!
Kirk P from Pennsylvania
We ordered this with two pre-drilled holes. We had two boer kids we were bottle feeding and wanted to transfer to this. It worked seamlessly! We are thrilled! Great product!
Jaime P from Tennessee
Glad this bucket has a wire handle, the plastic handles eventually break.
Jennifer K from Oklahoma
This bucket is wonderful. The way the valve assembly is set up the babies can get all the milk out of the bucket and it doesn't leak at all when they arent eating. Wish I would have had this bucket a long time ago. It makes bottle feeding so much easier. I will always have one on hand.

I realize this is a controversial kidetiquette question, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts. I've been seeing a lot of dressing down in places where dressing up would be much more appropriate. I don't think I'd ever allow my children into a fancy restaurant the way some kids roll in. But maybe I'm being harsh?
Nick and I were in a very nice restaurant recently (candlelight, lots of things I couldn't pronounce on the menu, a glass of wine cost $12) pretty late (we arrived at 8 p.m.) and a few minutes after we were seated, a group that had three youngish kids—two tweens and probably an eight year old—walked in. And the kids were wearing tee shirts (one was a middle school track tee) and short gym shorts and flip-flops. My first reaction: Why are there kids at this place? My second: What the $%#! are they wearing? Now before you think I sound holier than thou, let me say that I'm not picking on this particular family. Who knows? Maybe they were docked on one of the yachts in the harbor nearby and their real clothes blew overboard. Maybe they lost their luggage at the airport and were just plain starving and there were no available tables at the 15 casual joints down the road. I don't know. But it got me thinking about kids and restaurants and how I want my own brood to approach the experience.
I should back up first. Nick and I don't take our kids out to nice restaurants or any restaurants if we can help it (we like to taste our food, enjoy adult conversation and not have to take poop breaks while paying top dollar for a meal), but I get that there are times when it's unavoidable. Or even when it's desirable. At 5, Alex has gotten to a point where he can generally handle himself in public and the kid loves good food so I look forward to taking him out for special occasions. But they will be just that: special. And I can guarantee he won't be wearing his glow-in-the-dark skeleton sweatshirt when we go. He'll be sporting his "handsome" clothes, which, fortunately, he loves to wear. I'm not saying kids should be expected to rock prom attire but making a little more effort than shorts and tees seems appropriate, no? We're talking about upscale restaurants here, not a place you might grab a bite on your way home from baseball practice.
I did not grow up going out to eat at fancy restaurants on a regular basis. My parents went out a lot and we got left behind. As it should be, if you ask me. But when we found ourselves at a respectable establishment, we always looked, well, respectable. We dressed nice and we got excited and we knew that we were doing something that we didn't get to do all the time. I still feel that way about going out to eat (when I lived in New York City and had no kids, I admit I got jaded by the restaurant experience but boy do I know how special it is to have someone else cook for you and clean it up now). I also find myself scratching my head with the way some adults—men, mostly—dress in nice restaurants. Which is another story I suppose. But we were at place recently that is downright posh and the entire family was in sweats. I just worry about what message that would send to my kids. You better believe if I'm buying you a $45 steak*, you will have your shirt tucked in and that shirt will not say "I'm With Stupid" (note: we do not own a shirt that says I'm With Stupid). Believe me, my kids look homeless half the time and we all know how little I brush Nora's hair, but when it's necessary I can spiff them up. And I do.
I'm sure this is going to ruffle some feathers and I don't mean to go on a rant but this is one of the rare parenting calls that I feel very strongly about: If we are allowing my kids to join us in a nice restaurant, they will know that it is special and they will dress accordingly.
How do you guys feel about this? Do you take your kids out to eat at upscale eateries? Ever see kids in posh places looking like they just left the soccer field? Let's discuss.
