BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — In a story Jan. 13 about the governance of a Vermont hospital, The Associated Press erroneously reported which entity was reducing its number of trustees. Fletcher Allen Partners is cutting trustees, not Fletcher Allen Health Care, a hospital that is run by health care system Fletcher Allen Partners.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Vt.'s largest care system changing trustee structure
Vt.'s Fletcher Allen Health Partners to change trustee structure in efficiency move
BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Vermont's largest health care system is reducing the size of the board of trustees that governs its operation.
Fletcher Allen Partners, which oversees Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, the Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin, Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital in Plattsburgh, N.Y., and Elizabethtown Community Hospital, in Elizabethtown, N.Y., announced Monday it will trim the number of trustees that oversee the operation of the Burlington-based system from 27 to 19.
Partners says the move will improve operational effectiveness.
Fifteen of the board members have been elected from the boards of the four affiliated hospitals. Two seats are held by the president of Fletcher Allen Partners and the dean of the University of Vermont College of Medicine. Two seats are vacant.
Fletcher Allen Partners was founded in January 2012.

Diet Rules Meant to be Broken (cont.)
8. Bread is fattening, nuts are fattening, pasta is fattening.
"It's not what you eat that contributes to weight gain," says Heller. "It's how much you eat that matters most."
Whole-wheat bread, for example, is a great source of nutrients, and it won't make you gain weight more than any other food with the same number of calories.
9. All calories are equal.
While it's true that 1,400 calories is 1,400 calories no matter how you slice the cheesecake, experts say certain foods have a greater ability to fill you up before they fill you out. These tend to be fiber-rich, water-rich foods, like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Further, Heller says, you'll get more nutrients from, say, a 100-calorie apple than from a 100-calorie portion of white bread.
"All calories are equal if all you're doing is counting calories to lose weight," Heller says. "But if you care about how you are losing weight, or controlling your hunger, or the health of your body, then no, all calories are not of equal value."
10. If you don't clean your plate, you're wasting food (don't forget those starving children Mom told you about).
Tying emotions to eating (like when you feel guilty about leaving food on your plate) sets the stage for emotional overeating, Aronowitz says. If you've been taught that cleaning your plate is the best way to show appreciation for a meal, she says, instead show your gratitude with verbal praise, by asking for the recipe, or by sending a thank-you gift or note the next day.
"Food is simply a source of fuel for the body -- not an emotional payoff or payment," says Aronowitz. If you just don't feel right leaving the table until you've cleaned your plate, she says, underestimate your hunger and put less food on your plate to begin with.

Last week West Coast hook legend Nathaniel "Nate Dogg" Hale passed away after a long battle with the effects of suffering two massive strokes over the years.
Nate Dogg introduced a hybrid style of singing and rapping, parlaying his signature voice and flow on various records with acts such as the iconic Snoop Dogg and fellow group member Warren G along with other notable acts such as Eminem and Mos Def. Nate became a reliable choice for guest appearances on some of the most high-profile rap records.
Today (March 25), family and friends remembered the man who put his G-Funk stamp on the genre. He will never be forgotten. Nate was truly one of the best to do it and his vast catalog of work speaks for itself.
From the world famous VIP Record Store on Martin Luther King Ave and Pacific Coast Highway to the New Hope Baptist Church just blocks down the street where hundreds of family, friends and fans gathered to pay their respects to Nate Dogg it was apparent that the legendary crooner, who along with Snoop Dogg, Daz, DJ Battlecat, Warren G and more all put the LBC on the map, clearly never forgot their hometown roots.
The parking lot of the VIP Record store was littered with Rest In Peace T-Shirts that read "You Will Be Missed" and close friends such as Daz was seen hugging members of Nate's family, including his cousin Dee Dee who was emotionally distraught over Nate's death. Just inside VIP Records, which now doubles as a Bail Bonds location, was where all the magic happened.
It was producer and DJ Sir Jinx who was scheming on a then young Dr. Dre's MPC, that convinced the now owner of VIP to purchase studio equipment that Snoop, Nate and the rest of the Dogg Pound gang all used to record their first vocals in a back room. Fast forward years later, Nate and crew would go on to become one of the world's biggest collective of musicians selling millions of records.
VIP Records has seen tons of celebrities at their earlier years come through often to spark their careers. For example, a Young Eazy E sold N.W.A. tapes out of his car in this same location. The record store is a seen as a historic landmark. According to the store owner and mentor to Nate Dogg, VIP will be shutting it's doors soon due to the financially strapped record industry that no longer pays enough dividends to keep the lights on.
Not far from VIP, Nate spent his last days at his mother Miss Ruth's home recovering from two strokes that left him paralyzed on one side of his body and speechless. Although Nate was no longer mobile, his spirits remained high according to a number of friends who frequently visited him up until his last breath.
One man who referred to himself as Nate's "healer" worked closely with the singer's mother to create finances to help decrease the symptoms the stroke placed upon him. A few notable Hip-Hop artists also vowed to donate finances but the promises were never fulfilled. Involved with helping to create multi-platinum selling records, Nate Dogg passed away with mounting medical bills left for his family to deal with.
Gone but not forgotten, locals say Nate's voice will never die. And according to the number of cars packing the VIP parking lot all playing their respective Nate Dogg records out of their booming speakers, it'd be hard to argue.
His music will forever live on.

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
Every week I roundup the newest deals, launches, developments and other interesting tidbits from the crowdsourcing world. This week we start out in Austin at South by Southwest and windup "stumbling upon" all kinds of interesting projects on Kickstarter.
By the end of next week, South by Southwest, the mega-festival of music, movies and digital culture held each March in Austin, Texas will be underway. Dozens of films will be screened over a few days, and at least 31 of them were funded through Kickstarter. That's almost twice the number of films that used Kickstarter to make it to Utah's Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. And it doesn't even take into account the number of filmmakers who used other crowdfunding platforms like USA Projects.
On the Open Innovation front, social enterprise firm Telligent is adding an ideation and innovation management solution to its offerings called InnovationCast. The firm touts the new platform's unique marriage with social collaboration capability. Telligent will hold a webinar on InnovationCast March 22.
Discover Magazine and SciStarter.com are launching a new citizen science project designed to connect weekend scientists with leading researchers. The basic idea is to crowdsource some basic tasks, ranging from analyzing distant galaxies to monitoring frog, firefly and whale populations, to detecting home and body microbiomes. Projects will be featured on DiscoverMagazine.com
Microtask and Ephesoft announced a new partnership this week to combine automated optical character recognition with crowdsourced human readers to validate the machine-based OCR capture. Both companies are hoping the collaboration will amount to a major advance for document processing worldwide.
The blur Group announced this week what they believe to be a major Crowdsourcing milestone. There's little in the way of details, but the agency which built a huge Creative Services Exchange says it has been briefed on a project worth $5 million. We'll be interested to learn more.
Crowd creativity wasn't the only area where big deals were going down this week--CrowdControl wrapped up a $2 million funding round from Greycroft Partners and RTP Ventures. CrowdControl looks to merge artificial intelligence techniques with crowdsourcing to improve overall results.
One cool tool I, uh, "stumbled upon" this week is Fundhaus, an experimental side project from Hype Machine which combines a StumbleUpon-like interface with Kickstarter to add a new element to navigating the site and make exploring new projects as easy as a single click. Be careful, though, it can be habit-forming.

Ashley Brokop is pretty great and we love the way that she captured this South Carolina wedding. Filled with good old fashion fun and a the couple looks like they are a ton of fun. Do you love the photo of the bride walking into the church?
I had a little chuckle when I saw the photo, it was actually the image that sold me on posting the wedding and then as I dove more into I fell in love with the good old fashion fun.

The show marked AVENGED's live debut with Arin Ilejay, formerly the drummer for Los Angeles-based Christian rock group CONFIDE, who is sitting behind the kit for AVENGED's upcoming tour dates. The relatively unknown Ilejay is the second drummer to play with AVENGED SEVENFOLD following the December 2009 death of original drummer James "The Rev" Sullivan. The band recruited ex-DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy to play on its latest album, "Nightmare", and all its 2010 tour dates before dismissing him at the end of the year. Ilejay played on CONFIDE's 2008 debut album, "Shout The Truth", and appeared on tour with the group. Sullivan was found dead in his Huntington Beach, California home at the age of 28. His death was attributed to a lethal combination of prescription drugs and alcohol. The latest single from "Nightmare", which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart last summer, is "Welcome To The Family".

Ruffled is one of the leading wedding blogs in the industry. They celebrate the savvy, fashion conscious bride with a collection of gorgeous & original editorials, witty perspectives, and clever DIY ideas inspiring their readers to create a wedding celebration uniquely their own. On the heels of her own 1930's inspired wedding, the client created Ruffled as a resource for fellow brides looking for that handmade or vintage aesthetic.
With big initiatives in hand, Ruffled came to us to create three unique identities and websites, falling under the Ruffled brand. Ruffled, the main website would continue to feature original wedding content and DIY inspiration. Blue Label would serve as their forthcoming Vendor Guide. And lastly, The Loop would be an interactive, inspiration gathering site.
The Ruffled site features the daily blog, real weddings, design inspiration and a classifieds section. Being the main "face" of the brand, we based all the branding elements of this design. Filled with delicate and bespoke details, the site has a vintage, handcrafted appeal.
Blue Label ~ Ruffled's Vendor Guide, continues the handcrafted detailing. The homepage features a clean and organized way to browse categories, and search for vendors.
Each vetted member of the vendor guide is given a custom portfolio page to highlight their best work and provide details and deals to potential clients. The website backend allowed for this functionality to be completed by each member, significantly reducing management time for Ruffled.

Jon Brien was surprised when Steven Costantino, the chairman of the Rhode Island House Finance Committee asked him on the House floor to if he wanted to co-sponsor a big jobs bill in 2010. Brien, who was a state representative at the time, was on the outs with leadership after voting against House Majority Leader Gordon D. Fox in the mid-session election of a new speaker that year. He was on talk radio often, lambasting House Democratic leaders and their allies for alleged "political shenanigans."
"I was quite the bomb thrower … couldn't get a bill passed that said, 'today is Friday,'" Brien said during a series of recent interviews.
"All of a sudden, the chairman of finance is coming to me and saying: 'Hey, we know you've been working hard on [economic-development] bills. We want you to sign this. And we're going to put your bill on it because that is a great idea, too.'"
Brien, a Democrat who represented Woonsocket, ended up as one of the three cosponsors of the "Jobs Creation Loan Guaranty" that has been associated with the failed 38 Studios deal. Ultimately, sponsoring that bill cost him his House seat.
But Brien says that no one in the leadership in Providence has sent him a subpoena, despite being only one of three people that sponsored the bill.
And while he admits that he wouldn't have a lot to say, he would tell anyone who will listen that he was "used as cover" to lend legitimacy to the bill, without anyone telling him that $75 million was already earmarked for 38 Studios.
Although no one involved in the civil or criminal probes has contacted Brien, the House Oversight Committee has asked him to testify voluntarily. He plans on doing just that.
"Every day more facts about 38 Studios come to light, and the public deserves to know the truth about what really happened," he says.
The Providence Journal has more here on what Brien thought the jobs bill was going to be and what it would end up being by the time it managed to become a reality…

The one who can beat the Yankees. Then I have in the 2nd line of defense, the A's to knock off NY. And finally I have the Giants to beat them in the World Series. Please no scathing emails from those that don't think the A's or Giants will progress so I'm saying I hope they do.
It's another sport, of course, but when the 49ers lost to the NY Giants, another team I dislike, on a ball that nicked a punt returner by 1/ 4 inch resulting in a game tying field goal and then the same SF punt returner fumbled again in OT and Giants kicked a field goal. But as I hope the A's &, if not, the SF Giants knock off NY, I hoped that the Pats would get revenge for themselves and the 49er s and me as NY spoiled an undefeated season 2 years ago and then they beat the Pats again. I want the A's & Giants to win but I'll be most happy if the Yankees lose and I don't give a hoot who beats them !!!

Help!! using a breast pump
I am interested in using my pump to save milk but i've heard that you have to wait several weeks after the baby is born, I have also heard that you can use it as soon as your milk comes in (2-3days) My baby is a week and a half is it ok to pump? and will he accept the bottle after learning to breastfeed? I am also concerned because if I pump to save for later and then he is hungry right after I pump will I be able to feed him?? I know my body will produce whatever is needed but if I wanted to freeze enough milk for a day or two it would take alot. If anyone can help please let me know thanks!

I started pumping milk when my baby was a week and a half because I was having problems with my daughter latching on and I had no problems at all. Pumping caused my breast to swell up and get engorged, but you do what works for you!posted 05/03/2012 by Victorialovesnaomi
My son was born at 30 weeks... my milk had not come in yet... I started pumping the day after I had him and my mild came in withing a few days...posted 12/28/2011 by sarah_alice_212
It's best to wait until breastfeeding is established for you and your baby, around 4 weeks I believe. Also, allow your baby to eat, then pump. You can pump for 15 mins after s/he eats. There is a breastfeeding one on one help at the Catholic Center on Wednesdays at 4:30.posted 07/26/2011 by careynolds2262
I have a Medela Pump in Style Advance and it works wonders! It's a double electric pump - about $250 from Target or online. It's worth every penny!posted 02/16/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
It has been my experience that you can pump almost immediately after birth to try to stimulate your breasts for your milk to come in, that is what i did with both of my babies, now 11 mo. and 3 yrs. Pump a couple times a day, it will help increase milk supply overall, since breast milk is on supply and demand principle. Use a good pump, Madela Pump in Style works for me. In my case, I started my son on a bottle after only 3 weeks so that my husband could help and feel connected and bond as well. It was fine, my daughter as well. Just use the bottle a couple times a day so that the baby won't start to reject it, but be consistent. Some babies take to it easier than others, just keep trying and it's easier if someone other than you offers the bottle!posted 02/15/2011 by Betsysdimples
I rented one from the Hospital. It's about $40 a month, I work 12 hour days, 3 days a week and have been back to work now for about 6 weeks. I'm not having any trouble keeping up my milk supply. I would definately recommend renting the hopital grade pump rather than buying one at the store. They do make several different models so if you try one and it doesn't work, you can return it and try another. The expense involved is worth it. It's less than formula and I feel better nkowing she getting the benefits of breast milk even in my absence.posted 02/10/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I need a good breast pump. Any suggestions?posted 01/03/2011 by svalladares1
The best way to build up a supply is to pump after feedings. That way you have time (2 hours or however long) for your body to produce milk for the next feeding. Doing this will actually increase your supply over time, so your baby should get enough no problem. Your milk production is at it's highest right now - take advantage of it and get a good freezer supply! Baby isn't eating enough to fully empty your breasts at the present time anyhow. And yes, you can absolutely use a pump as soon as your milk comes in. There is no harm in doing that. Just remember that you need to still nurse your baby...as that helps your body produce milk and will maintain your milk supply better than pumping alone. As for introducing a bottle...we were forced to introduce one when our son was 2 weeks old due to the Ped thinking that he was not getting enough breast milk. Turns out it was a latch issue...but we supplemented for a week or two, and occasionally he would receive a bottle from my husband.posted 08/05/2010 by cristyloks
I had a hard time getting my baby to latch on while in the hospital and so I pumped, and gave her a bottle. I kept doing so till she was about two weeks old, and she doesn't have a hard time with either.posted 02/14/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
about nursing and if your baby will learn to drink from a bottle after learning to breastfeed: The hospital told us to make sure not to introduce the bottle too soon because it could cause confusion but I think we waited too long and it took a while and the right bottle/nipple before my daughter would drink from a bottle---let them learn to nurse but dont wait too long!posted 12/26/2009 by HannahDoll

OSTIblog Articles in the bioenergy Topic
Scientist Arthur Ragauskas is helping redefine the bioenergy research frontier
by Kathy Chambers 24 Jul, 2014 in
It is anticipated that the biofuels industry will have a dramatic impact on our lives, much like the petroleum industry. Alternative fuels from renewable cellulosic biomass— plant stalks, trunks, stems, and leaves—are expected to significantly reduce U.S. dependence on imported oil while enhancing national energy security and decreasing the environmental impacts of energy use. Research is currently focused on accelerating the environmental and commercial viability of biofuel production.
The University of Tennessee's Arthur Ragauskas is one of the notable scientists who are redefining the frontiers of bioenergy research in the quest for an economically feasible and sustainable biofuel industry.

Apparently, there was a old movie that was translated to Spanish and ended up with the name "El Danubio Azul". When I google, all I can find is a musical piece from Germany, who's translation is also "El Danubio Azul". The original German waltz, titled "An der schönen blauen Donau", was composed by Johann Strauss II, back in 1867.
The musical piece was also used in the 1961 movie "2001: A Space Odyssey". But I'm pretty that is NOT the movie my mom is talking about. :\
PS: Mom said it was NOT a silent movie, but it was black and white, NOT cartoons. IMDB says it should be this: The Blue Danube - 1932 ... still not an inch closer to procure a copy. Should something so old be public domain?

Dancing With the Stars 2013: Who Should Go Home on Season 17, Week 4?
We'll admit: the new Dancing With the Stars voting format is a little weird. We're still trying to wrap our minds around the fact that our votes this week will result in an elimination next week, no matter how well or poorly the stars perform next Monday. If a star does too badly one Monday, they might not have time for redemption before the bad performance catches up to them.
That said, it is kind of cool that we have an entire week to contemplate who messed up the most and therefore should be sent packing. So let's look on the bright side and take the time to chat about the dancing that went down on Week 3, Hollywood Night.
In case you need a refresher, you can catch all of the performances here. While Hollywood Night produced very few true show stoppers, at least in our eyes, there were also almost no flops. This crop of stars is a perfect mix of talented dancer showing their stuff, and less technically proficient performers winning us over with personality and improvement.
However, someone needs to go home next week, and we want to know who your pick would be. Personally, we'd probably go with Valerie Harper. We adore her, and she's having a great time, but it's clear the show's speedy pace is a bit too much for her to keep up with, and with so many other strong contestants who might have a chance to make it all the way, we think it's time for her to bow out gracefully. Besides, you know she'd be in good spirits about it.
Enough about what we think: We want to hear your opinion!
Vote in our poll, and sound off in the comments below.
I can't pick!
I know who should go.
Dancing With the Stars Season 17 airs on Monday, October 7, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

The Blues Line: Blues Lyrics from Leadbelly to Muddy Waters
by Eric Sackheim
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This 500-page elongated quarto is Eric Sackheim's attempt to consider and place the poetry of blues-lyrics in a broader continuum of human experience. Most of the text is transcriptions from what used to be called "Race Records" -- and there are some dillies here -- but what sets this book apart is the extraordinary 51-page appendix in which the anthologist connects singers like Walter Davis and "Rabbit" Brown to ancient Chinese poets and the writers of cookbooks. Understandably, the book was met mostly with wooden incomprehension, except when it was met with hostility. Still, with the passage of years, it is clear that Sackheim's concept is, at the very least, well worth exploring.
The many illustrations by Jonathan Shahn are based on original promotional material for the various artists quoted.

12/24/2011, Hawksbill Cay, Northern Exuma
Actually sailed today. Left Nassau Harbor and motor sailed for awhile. Then as I was able to head south past Yellow Bank, I was able to sail..... Great sail >7.1 no seas to peak of. Spending the night in Hawksbill Cay before heading to Warderick Wells tomorrow. Some thoughts.... Other than the obvious, I have been asked many times why I thought this trip has been so much different than the last one. After much thought and reflection, I have been able to come up with at least one reason. I am not sure if it's because I have changed or it's the different cruising crowd here that I have met or maybe even because it's the "holidays". There seems to be just more of a sense of community here. People genuinely care about your welfare and well being. At least the people I've met so far. Not just passing acquaintances. And that makes all the difference in the world. Not sure if that made any sense . But it does to me While I was writing this I was sailing between Nassau and the Northern Exumas, heading to Hawksbill Cay. I was sitting in the nav station. and I heard the reel start to whine. I hooked a fish. Before I could get up to the cockpit, whatever was on the line, stripped off all 500 feet of line and then broke it. The reel is empty. Line, lure everything. I don't know what it was, but it had to be big and FAST.
The week went fast. Spent a day searching for a new VHF antenna and some cable. Not to be found on this island. Ended up hiring an agent in Florida to gather the items and send them here. Too bad he didn't put my cruising permit number on the package, because it cost me 45 % duty. After two trips across the island to locate the package, I finally got my parts.l What a waste of 3 days. But the radio works.
Leaving for parts south on Saturday. Probably Shroud Cay then Staniel on the way to Georgetown.
Anchoring here is a mess. The tide trumps 23 knots of wind. Boats lying stern to the wind. Boats drifting around their chain. Spent one who night fending off boats. No one wanted to move. Was hit a few times by one boat. I went over to them in the morning and told them, "if we have to meet again at 2 in the morning, I drink Rum and diet coke". They moved. Must not have any rum on board.
Hope you all have a happy, safe and peaceful holiday.
Arrived in Nassau on Saturday, fueled up (at 5.20 a gallon) and anchored in the harbor. Out my front door is the Atlantis Resort.
Not much going on, trying to get back into the swing of civilization after being in the Berry's for a week. Laundry got done this morning and defrosted the freezer last night (hey that's boat maintenance too). Nothing is open here on Sunday's so I walked into town this afternoon and had a chance to watch the Royal Bahamas Polices Force Xmas Beat Retreat. Check out the pictures in this link
Your text to link...
Was pretty cool to watch.
Tomorrow it's off to find parts to execute Plan B with the VHF before I head south on Tuesday (weather dependent of course) and do some provisioning.
Right now it's blowing like stink again. The anchorage filled up today as there was a major crossing from Florida over the weekend. If you didn't cross on the 7th as I did, you got stuck there until yesterday.
I hope all those new boats parked next to me now, realize that at 2 am when it's blowing 25+... as forecast, that I was here first!

Serial killer Ted Bundy admitted to torturing animals as a child, while Jeffrey Dahmer staked cats to trees and decapitated dogs.
For local veterinarians, extreme animal cruelty is something they have to deal with. Unfortunately, it may not stop with the animal.
"If you're doing this to an animal, is there abuse in the home, there are many studies out there that link animal abuse to child abuse," says Dr. Scott Richardson, a local vet.
In one survey 118 out of 135 criminals admitted to burning, hanging and stabbing animals as children, and since the 1970s the FBI has recognized the connection between serial killers and early animal abuse.
"It could be social bearing, or for control or power over something," says Richard Ziegler, Animal Control Director
Local veterinarians, Animal Control officers and law enforcement agencies say work together to identify extreme animal abuse, but help from parents and aware citizens are needed.
Intentional animal cruelty can be a felony with a sentence of up to five years and $10,000 in fines. In just the one animal hospital we visited Friday there were two cases of extreme animal abuse.

10 Summer Home Mistakes
Ian and Barbara White-Thomson are selling their dream summer house, an oceanfront five-bedroom on Peaks Island, near Portland, Maine.
They bought it only three years ago. But it's become a 4,208-square-foot burden.
Maine Dilemma
The couple, who make their home in Pasadena, Calif., sunk nearly $1 million into renovations–on top of the $1.8 million they paid for the home in 2006. They gutted the kitchen and redid the living room. They opened up views to the Atlantic Ocean by removing a fireplace that separated the living and dining areas, putting a glass screen in its place.
They say they're still smitten with the place. Nevertheless, last June they listed it for $2.5 million and have since cut the price to $2.3 million.
"The house is really too big for us," says the 73-year-old Mr. White-Thomson, who retired as CEO of Borax, a borate technology company, 10 years ago. "The house is terrific for the one week a year when we can get all of our family and grandchildren there," he adds. He and his wife have three adult children and five grandchildren. "The rest of the time, it's too big, and when we are not there at all it has to be heated and it has to be gardened."
More Second Homes
The White-Thomsons aren't the first couple to get stuck with a too-big house in a far-off locale. But now their problems are compounded by the downturn in the luxury home market.
Prices for high-end houses are the lowest they've been in some time. A good time to buy certainly, but also a good time to get swept away in a less-than-ideal transaction.
Here are some mistakes to avoid when you're looking to buy a summer house:
1. Buying on impulse: "There are residential brokerages with beautiful places on their windows hoping you make that mistake. Don't," says Glenn Kelman, the president and CEO of real-estate site Redfin.
2. Befriending the Realtor: Since many second-home buyers are new to town, often their only 'friend' is their real-estate agent, "who is going to make a boatload of money when they buy," Mr. Kelman says. "Work your connections to find somebody who knows somebody who already lives there." Those people can provide insight into the realities of living in the area and even about a particular property. "There are so many times where the only guy who would buy that house is the only one who has no idea what its history is," he adds.
3. Forgetting maintenance costs: "Often, [second homes] are in extreme places," says Mr. Kelman. "It's expensive to heat the pool in Whistler, British Columbia, and it's expensive to keep the locusts off in Costa Rica." Regardless of location, the costs of landscaping, mowing and pool maintenance must be considered. As the White-Thomsons learned, you'll have to pay those costs even when you're not there.
4. Not thinking about the weather: In some areas, such as Florida, extra insurance for events like hurricanes is an added factor. Storm damages can add to upkeep costs, as well.
5. Buying in a popular spot: A weekend home can pose a problem if it's in a very popular place, like New York's tony Hamptons. Traffic out to Long Island's east end can be a bear on a Friday–and not everyone has their own helicopter. "All of a sudden Friday at 6:00 comes along and they are piling everyone into a car," says Kathy Braddock, a co-founder of Charles Rutenberg Realty. "You spend the entire time talking about what time you should leave on Sunday to avoid the traffic," she adds.
6. Buying in the boonies: If air travel is required to get to the second home, it should be reasonably close to the airport, Mr. Kelman says. "You don't want to fly there and then rent a car and drive there for God knows how long," he says. "If it's in the boonies near where you live, you don't want it to be so far away that you can't get there without ducking out of work at 4:00." For the White-Thomsons having a second home closer to their primary residence in California may have allowed them to use it more, but they made a commitment to use the home at least two months a year. "If you don't use it, it's a tremendously expensive hotel," Mr. White-Thomson says.
7. Forgetting that you might have grandchildren: Empty nesters who buy a second home may outgrow it quickly when grandchildren start to arrive. "I hear lots of stories of people buying, say, a condo in Florida that they plan to retire in," says Amy Bohutinsky, a vice president of communications at real-estate site Zillow.com. A condo sounds great when the kids are in college, but soon enough you have grandchildren. "What used to be a family of four is now a family of eight and kids running around and all of a sudden you can't fit."
8. Forgetting that you might not want to see your grandchildren: On the other hand some empty nesters don't want to accommodate the entire family. "It's kind of a chance to cleanse" after years of needing ample storage space and extra rooms to accommodate a family, says Ms. Braddock. Rather than maintaining a larger home, it might make more sense to rent hotel rooms for extra guests, she says.
9. Not checking out the rental rates: Those people who use a home only for a few weeks a year and want to rent it the rest of the time should look into the property's rental history before buying, says Jim Oxnam, a broker with Brown Harris Stevens in the Hamptons. "If someone needs the money to pay the mortgage or to improve the house, it might be nice to rent the house for a season," he says.
10. Thinking you want a summer home: "A lot of people get very caught up with the idea that a weekend home would be a lovely thing to have, but I don't think they put a lot of thought into if they really want to go there every weekend," says Ms. Braddock, who lives in New York City.
When her children were young, Ms. Braddock and her ex-husband had owned a second home where the activities revolved around the kids. More recently she rented a cottage in Staatsburg, in New York's Hudson Valley, paying about $2,700 a month on a year-long lease. This time around her oldest was in college and the other in high school, and she and her partner were pretty bored. Looking at antiques, reading the paper and walking around nearby Rhinebeck take up only so much time, she says: "It was the greatest validation that I don't want a weekend house."

Teen Mom 2
Pregnant Kailyn Lowry Forced to Find New Doctor Just Weeks Before Due Date
Recap of Teen Mom 2 Season 5, Episode 8 (March 11, 2014)
Kailyn Lowry's going to the chapel and she's gonna get married! This week on Teen Mom 2, everyone's favorite army wife (plus her braces) geared up for the biggest moment in her life — her wedding to the one and only Javi Marroquin. Oh, and the arrival of her bouncing baby boy, Lincoln Marshall Marroquin.
You can imagine how monumentally stressed Kailyn was in the weeks and months approaching both her wedding and her labor, and to make matters worse girlfriend's doctor was all the way in Pennsylvania! Meanwhile her family had already relocated to Dover, Delaware — where Javi is stationed with the U.S. Air Force.
Luckily, Kailyn's totally weird OB/GYN suggested that she get medical care in Delaware so that she had coverage close to home, but that's not all. During their conversation, Kailyn revealed just how long she and Javi will be livin' it up Dover style … a whopping six years! That's more than half a decade, people!
This means that Kailyn's first son, Isaac, will be around 10 years old when the family is finally ready to move, while Lil Linc will probably be well into elementary school. Can you believe it? No wonder this happy family settled down and bought a house — they're definitely in this thing for the long haul!
Are you surprised that Kailyn, Javi and their kids will be living in Dover for so long? All we know is that Delaware is lucky to have 'em!

Like Thatcher, Furiosa is an honorary man, proving the success of one woman does not mean the liberation of all. Rather than demonstrating the potential for strong women, Furiosa and the Vuvalini, like Thatcher, are decisively 'other' - more akin to an alien race than a relateable womanhood.
Over the last century, there have been periods during which one set of commonly accepted values in British politics is replaced by another. This occur...
Little wonder then, that just before a general election, it has been politically expedient to shine the 'cover up spotlight' on a battered, bruised and demoralised police service.
Was her emotional outburst really so off putting? I mean, we live in a time when you can't really turn on the television without someone on screen crying, but should this be replicated in a professional environment?
Value-for-money has been the deafening cry of free market ideologues and politicians on the right. Keep governments out, privatize, and let the market work its magic to produce the most efficient solution, they say...
Given how bizarre 2014 was, it's hard to predict what will happen in 2015. But my money is on Katie Hopkins becoming UN Ambassador, Dapper Laughs becoming NATO Special Representative for Women and Rolf Harris playing Glastonbury via a satellite link from his Category C prison, with Max Clifford working as his PR.
Until we, as a society, change, not just the way we act but, the way we think, the disenchanted will have nowhere else to go but #MillionMaskMarch and Russell Brand - too culturally and intellectually blinkered to see that revolution may be the method, but it is never the solution.
I feel in my bones that perhaps, yes quite maybe, that the time is now right to say The Time is Now, the time for Scotland to take charge of ourselves. A once in a lifetime opportunity for peaceful independence for Scotland should not be missed.
After the screening, held in a swanky cinema at London's Barbican centre, a world away from a Welsh pit mine, various friends of Mark Ashton stood up to thank Warchus for portraying the events in such a truthful way, some of them weeping, they were so proud.
Youth membership has doubled since the European elections. National membership is up 28% since the start of the year, at a time when Labour and the Tories memberships are declining. Polling close to a junior member of government...For too long there has been a void in British politics, but it is now filled. The British Left has just come roaring back, and politics is about to get interesting.
A party which bases it's electoral appeal on ignorance and xenophobia should be a punch line, not an election contender... The enemy of my enemy is not my friend. Labour needs to get serious about Ukip. But the only way to do so successfully is not to take them seriously at all.
I'm tired of students and young people as a collective being constantly ignored or patronised by the state... people forget that if you constantly damage the spirit of a generation and illegitimatise our opinions, it will demolish the hope and drive of those who not only have the potential to make huge positive impact in the UK, but worldwide.
"You didn't know him. I hate this; when people get upset about somebody they didn't know", I didn't argue. I couldn't really hear what my friend was saying above the sound of my heart beating. I'd agree with him, usually. It's hard to understand how you could feel such grief for somebody you'd never known... and yet I did.
UKIP is not a protest party or indeed an anti-establishment beachhead, it is simply a zany sibling of the two political wings of neoliberal rule. As a result, UKIP will not offer working class voters substantive answers to contemporary dilemmas.
With the UK general election only a year away, who is winning the political debate? I differ from many people, who say that all politicians are corrupt and are only in it for themselves. In my experience, most politicians are in fact honest and believe in what they're doing.
Handbagged is a magnificently funny dramatization of the clash of personalities between the two most iconic Brits of my lifetime - Margaret Thatcher and Queen Elizabeth II.

White hot
Cleansing color goes from bland to grand in troubled times
If the pastel colors of spring are a bit too, well, colorful for you, why not go for the antidote to color: white?
The noncolor – in various shades of brightness – never really reached the trend status of, say, the chocolate-teal blue combination a few seasons back, but then again, it's not the kind of color that has to be trendy to remain relevant.
"White is one of those colors that never really goes out of fashion," said Mark Woodman, owner of Maryland-based Mark Woodman Design and Color. "It's classically based, so it works with everything.
"Right now, though, with what we're going through as a country, it's a cleansing color," added Woodman, who also sits on the board of the Color Marketing Group, an Alexandria, Va.,-based nonprofit that forecasts color trends for fashion, home and other industries.
White's reputation, he said, tends to sit at two extremes.
One reputation classifies it as boring and noncommittal: "That's what you see in apartments, condos and new homes – the shade of white that we call builder beige," Woodman said.
The other end of the spectrum, he said, identifies white as hip, evident in all-white rooms that have been a mainstay in contemporary design.
No matter its reputation, white is one of those colors that is strong enough to stand on its own but not too overbearing that it clashes with other colors.
"It's an undervalued color," Woodman said, "but used properly, it is a great color."
Since there are many shades of white, Woodman pointed out that if white is to be mixed with other hues in a room, it's best to stick to the crisp, bright whites.
"There's nothing wrong with off-whites," Woodman said, "but the sharp bright whites help to balance the room."
That holds true for white accessories: vases and other knickknacks work well in a space if they are crisp white rather than off-white.
"It's interesting where the line is drawn on the color white," Woodman said. "For many, it's a black-and-white issue – yes or no. It doesn't have to be. White is a good middle-ground color with a lot of personality.
"And right now, it's a fresh color."
Or noncolor, to be accurate.
Not all white paints are created equally
In the book "Colors for Your Home: 300 Designer Favorites" (Hearst Books, 288 pages), House Beautiful editors asked interior designers "Which white is the best white?" Their answers were as varied as the color swatches at a paint store.
Benjamin Moore Linen White Interior Room with Decorator's White Interior Room: "It's the classic formula," designer Keith Irvine said. "Linen White looks as if it's been on the wall a long time, which works very well with old English and French furniture. But it can be a little too yellow, so I usually cool it down with Decorator's White to make something a bit lighter and more sophisticated."
Ralph Lauren Paint Pocket Watch White WW11: "When it comes to whites, I use only Pocket Watch White," designer Jonathan Adler said. "It's soft and warm but not cream, and still undeniably white. It will make a room look gracious and young at the same time."
Pratt & Lambert Seed Pearl 27-32: "I put it on every ceiling in my house," designer Kelly Wearstler said. "It's a clean, crisp white that has a little bit of warmth in it, which gives it more depth and dimension. I use it on moldings for contrast."
Benjamin Moore Super White Interior Room: "Everything looks good against a true, clear ... freezing-cold white," designer Murray Moss said. "Anything placed against that background projects like Technicolor."

The Colorado Avalanche finished 15th in the Western Conference and 29th in the League standings in 2012-13, and have missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs four of the past five seasons.
That led to a shake-up in the front office and coaching staff, with a pair of Hall of Famers from the franchise's glory days brought in with the hope of rebuilding the on-ice product.
Joe Sakic was hired May 10 as executive vice president of hockey operations, giving him full control of all hockey-related decisions. His first hire was former teammate Patrick Roy, who on Thursday agreed in principle to join the team as coach and vice president of hockey operations.
Sakic and Roy will be in charge of all player personnel decisions, and Roy will be the man in charge at ice level. The former goaltender has spent the past eight years coaching the junior hockey team he co-owns, the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, and this will be his first job with an NHL team since he retired as a player in 2003.
Here are a few challenges facing the new Avalanche coach:
Readjusting to the NHL: Roy played 19 seasons in the League, but a lot has changed in the decade since he retired. How quickly will he be able to adjust to new players and a 30-team League? There also is the extensive travel and how that affects scheduling practices and days off.
He'll also have to determine, along with Sakic, what players he would want to add via free agency, trades or the draft, and how bringing in those players will affect the salary cap. Working in junior hockey isn't easy, but how quickly Roy adjusts to life in a suit in the NHL will determine his success.
Dealing with youngsters: The Avalanche iced one of the youngest teams in the League last season. The team won the right to pick first at the 2013 NHL Draft, so that means there's another young player to have to integrate into the roster. Most of the team's core is younger than 23, including 20-year-old captain Gabriel Landeskog and last season's co-leading scorer Matt Duchene, 22.
Dealing with younger players won't be a foreign concept for Roy -- his players in Quebec ranged in age from 16 to 20 -- but they weren't NHL players in search of ice time and a higher salary.
Determining a plan: Roy had a certain style of coaching that worked for him in the QMJHL. But he'll have to determine what elements of his game plans he can bring with him, and what he'll have to change.
Creating a winning culture: When Sakic was hired, he said one of his goals was building a winning tradition in the locker room, something that was there when he and Roy were part of a team that won the Stanley Cup in 1996 and 2001. But the Avalanche have finished 11th or worse in the conference three straight seasons, and that much losing can become a part of the franchise identity.
Roy's job is to change that as soon as next season. He won the Stanley Cup four times, and when he retired he had more wins than any NHL goaltender. He was able to build a consistent winner in the QMJHL, including a Memorial Cup champion in 2006.

This approach has significant disadvantages.

Yes; that's how I'm using the terms. For some reason I prefer the "nested" term to the RVA term.

Lincoln and Minnehaha County Economic Development Associations in South Dakota have plans to start a new wind farm in 2018. Dakota Power Community Wind Board Chairman Paul Shubeck says the whole project hinges on the successful completion of a transmission line from South of Chicago to near Lincoln County South Dakota. He says that's set for completion five years down the road.
Shubeck says they also have to do a two year project gathering wind data and logging it and do environmental studies before they can proceed with building the wind farm. He says if they're successful the possibility of return is huge.
Dakota Power Community Wind Group consists of community leaders and landowners. Their project could create more than a thousand temporary construction jobs and up to 70 full time positions.

Midday Roundup: Deadly fire kills 19 in Arizona
Fanning the flames. The lightning-sparked fire that killed 19 near Yarnell, Ariz., Sunday has exploded into a 13-square-mile monster today. The blaze consumed 200 homes in less than 24 hours. All those killed belonged to an elite "hotshot" firefighting team sent in to battle the conflagration. As of this afternoon, it is 0 percent contained. Record-breaking, triple-digit temperatures are fanning the flames. According to the National Fire Protection Association, the Yarnell wildfire is the deadliest for firefighters since a 1933 blaze in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, killed 29. Sunday's fire is responsible for the highest firefighter death toll since 9/11. Although it is early in the season, deadly and destructive wildfires have already consumed thousands of acres in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and California.
Leak saga continues. Russian President Vladimir Putin may be wavering just a bit in his support for Edward Snowden. During a news conference this morning, Putin said Snowden could remain in Russia only if he stops leaking American secrets: "There is one condition if he wants to remain here: He must stop his work aimed at damaging our American partners. As odd as it may sound from me." Maybe he wants Snowden to save whatever classified documents he has left for Russian intelligence officials. Snowden, a former national intelligence analyst working for contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, is wanted in the United States on charges of espionage. He is believed to be holed up in a Russian airport, in limbo because Russian officials won't let him enter the country officially and U.S. officials have cancelled his passport. Despite his calls for Snowden to stop leaking classified documents, Putin reiterated his pledge not to deport the American. But he also claims Snowden isn't working with Russian spies, so you never know.
Green light. A gay couple living in Florida became the first to receive a green card after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act last week. Traian Popov, 41, a Bulgarian immigrant, married Julian Marsh, 55, in New York. Even though they don't live in a state that recognizes same-sex marriage, the federal government approved Popov's green card petition. It is one of almost 100 filed by the DOMA Project, a team of attorneys pushing for immigration support for same-sex couples. Attorney Lavi Soloway lauded the decision: "This historic first green card approval confirms that for immigration purposes the Supreme Court ruling striking down DOMA will extend equal recognition to same-sex couples in all 50 states. As long as they have a valid marriage."
Elder abuse? A new law requiring children to visit their elderly parents takes effect in China today. According to the law, "family members who live apart from their parents should often visit or send regards to their parents." Although vague, the law is meant to clamp down on elder abuse or neglect. In response to a recent survey done by China's state-run television network, 33 percent of children said they saw their parents only once a year.

Workout clothes that keep you safe
Local company GRACEDBYGRIT makes exercise clothes with safety features
There's no shortage of athletic apparel, especially in an active city like San Diego.
Even so, friends Kimberly Caccavo and Kate Nowlan couldn't find any workout clothes they liked. And rather than settle for something subpar, they created their own women's athletic apparel company called GRACEDBYGRIT.
Their items can be worn both in and out of the water for activities like kayaking and paddleboarding as well as running and yoga.
Caccavo, 52, had an extremely varied career before launching the clothing line, including working on the space shuttle. The Solana Beach resident, who moved here from New York in 2006, tells us about GRACEDBYGRIT, including what the name means.
Q: It seems like there's a lot of athletic apparel choices out there. What were you looking for that you didn't find?
A: My trainer Kate and I noticed that for most women, athletic clothes just didn't look great. The fabrics were heavy after long runs, the lumps and bumps needed to be covered! We both wanted clothing that was designed well, made of great fabrics and made you feel athletic and look good. We did not want ruffles, ribbons and bows. We decided to design the perfect pant, and then all the other pieces a woman needs to train and perform. And we made sure that each piece of clothing had a safety feature.
Q: What do you mean by a safety feature?
A: All items come with a waterproof whistle so you are always safe. I started training with Kate to run a triathlon for (slain Poway teen) Chelsea King and was struck by the need for safety on athletic clothes for women.
Q: How did you meet your business partner, Kate?
A: I needed a run coach to prepare me (for the triathlon). Kate was my son's swim coach at the Boys and Girl's Club in Solana Beach. I learned that she was a running coach also. We started training together and became obsessed with the fit of women's athletic clothing.
Q: What's the story behind the name?
A: Every woman has a gritty moment that could make or break her. It is how we make it through those moments that define us. It's realizing that grit is often what gives us grace.
Q: You're a chemical engineer. What did you do before starting the company?
A: I've had an incredible career. I worked on the space shuttle, designed heat engines, developed packet switched networks, ran the telephone directory business, received an MBA, helped privatize the Venezuelan telephone company, worked in Hollywood and consulted to startup companies around the world. It has been so much fun.
Q: How has all that experience helped you with GRACEDBYGRIT?
A: Business is business. The breadth of business experience has helped launch this line. I also developed the discipline to get the job done.
Q: Do you and Kate test the clothes to make sure they meet your standards and needs?
A: Absolutely. We have different body types. We test all our clothes running and stand-up paddling. We put them on runners, kayakers, kick-ballers and golfers. We test the clothing on women of all ages in all the sports we can think of.
Q: Where are your favorite local spots to work out?
A: I love to run the coast and stand-up paddle in the ocean. But my favorite spot in San Diego is Torrey Pines. I love to run the trails and enjoy the incredible scenery.
Q: What is the craziest workout you've ever done?
A: The craziest workout was on my honeymoon. We were in Patagonia and my husband suggested a 20-mile hike to a glacier in the rain, followed by galloping through the mountains on horse for three hours. It was fantastic.

In 2015, we created several new long routes including 50, 60 and 70 mile options. None of the routes are exceptionally hilly, but they roll enough to keep it interesting. All of the routes follow quiet, beautiful roads. However, cyclists will be sharing the road with automobiles. Please pay attention.
- The 50 mile option skips the Wilderness Drive and heads south directly from the start.
- The 60 & 70 mile options include Wilderness Drive. The decision whether to ride 60 or 70 is made at the 30 mile mark. (the Emmaville Store rest stop).
- All long routes include stops at the Emmaville Store and Summerhill Farm
- There is also a convenience store and county park in Lake George
We have multiple rest stops on each route:
- 25 mile route: Rest stops located at 8, 12 and 19 miles
- 50 mile route: Rest stops located at 22 and 33 miles
- 60 mile route: Rest stops located at 8, 30 and 41 miles
- 70 mile route: Rest stops located at 8, 30 and 53 miles
