Ultimate Frisbee Rules
Ultimate Frisbee Rules...
Ultimate Frisbee Rules are played differently for ultimate frisbee pick-up games depending on where and who the ultimate players are. But for many ultimate frisbee tournaments and ultimate frisbee leagues the ultimate frisbee rules below are followed.
To begin play the ultimate players from each team line up on their end zones, and the defense team pulls (throws) the disc to the other team as a "kick-off". Pulls are long throws, and they are thrown in efforts of giving the offensive team poor field position and a chance for the defense to get down the field soon enough to stop advances.
The pull is often started by a member of the defending team raising one arm with the disc to show that they are ready to pull the disc and begin play. The team that pulls to start the game is usually decided in a manner similar to a coin toss. Instead of using a coin often an ultimate frisbee disc is used.
Movement of the Ultimate Disc
The disc may be moved in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate. After catching a pass, a player is required to come to a stop as quickly as possible, and then can only move their non-pivot foot. A common misconception is that a player must setup a pivot foot before they can throw the disc. In fact, the player can throw the disc before stopping within the first couple of steps after they gain possession of the disc. It is this fact that makes the "Greatest" rule possible. A "Greatest" occurs when a player jumps from within bounds to catch a disc that has passed out-of-bounds, this is also known as an "ultimate play". The player must then throw the disc back in-bounds before his feet or any other part of his body touches the ground. The thrower may only catch their own throw if another player touches it in the air.
Upon receiving the disc, a player has ten seconds to pass it. This period is known as the "stall", and each second is counted out (a stall count) by a defender (the marker), who must be standing within three meters of the thrower. A player may keep the disc for longer than ten seconds if no marker is within three meters, or if the marker is not counting the stall; if there is a change of marker, the new marker must restart the stall from zero.
A point is scored when a player catches a pass in the end zone his team is attacking. In older versions of the rules, only offensive players could score. However, current UPA and WFDF rules allow a defensive team to score by intercepting a pass in the end zone they are defending. This play is referred to as a Callahan goal or simply a Callahan. It is named after well-known ultimate player Henry Callahan.
After a point is scored, the teams exchange ends. The team who just scored remains in that end zone, and the opposing team takes the opposite end zone. This can be commonly referred to in the phrase: "Losers walk." Play is re-initiated with a pull by the scoring team.
Change of possession
An incomplete pass results in a change of possession. When this happens the defense immediately becomes the offense and gains possession of the disc where it comes to a stop on the field of play, or where it first traveled out of bounds. Play does not stop because of a turnover.
Reasons for turnovers:
Stoppage of play
Play may stop for the following reasons:
A foul is the result of contact between players, although incidental contact (not affecting the play) does not constitute a foul. When a foul disrupts possession, the play resumes as if the possession were retained. If the player committing the foul disagrees with (contests) the foul call, the disc is returned to the last thrower.
A violation occurs when a player violates the rules but does not initiate physical contact. Common violations include traveling with the disc, double teaming, and picking (moving in a manner so as to obstruct the movement of any player on the defensive team).
Time outs and half-time
By Eleventh Edition rules, each team is allowed two time outs per half. The halftime break occurs when one team reaches the half-way marker in the score. Since most games are played to odd numbers, the number for half-time is rounded up. For instance, if the game is to 13, half comes when one team scores 7. A break may also occur if an injury occurs.
Play stops whenever a player is injured—this is considered an injury time-out. During the duration, it is customary for players on the field to kneel or sit to ensure that they stay in their original positions. The injured person must then leave the field, and a substitute may come in. If an injured player is substituted for, the opposing team may also substitute a player.
While Ultimate may be played in a myriad of weather conditions including heavy rain and deep snow, nearby lightning should result in stoppage of play with players seeking shelter. Many times, precipitation will result in a hiatus in order to protect the playing field.
Teams are allowed to substitute players after a point is scored or for injured player after an injury time out. In the case of an injury substitution, the opposing team is allowed to make a substitution for a non-injured player.
Players are responsible for foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes. This creates a spirit of honesty and respect on the playing field. It is the duty of the player who committed the foul to speak up and admit his infraction. Occasionally, official observers are used to aid players in refereeing, known as observers.
Some additional rules have been introduced in the United States and Canada which can optionally overlay the standard rules and allow for referees called observers. An observer can only resolve a dispute if the players involved ask for his judgment. Although in some cases, observers have the power to make calls without being asked: such as line calls (to determine out of bounds or goals) and off-sides calls (players crossing their end zone line before the pull is released). Misconduct fouls can also be given by an observer for violations such as aggressive taunting, fighting, cheating, etc., and are reminiscent of the Yellow/Red card system in football; however, misconduct fouls are rare, and their ramifications not well defined. Observers are also charged with enforcing time limits for the game itself and many parts within the game, such as the amount of time defense has to set up after a time out or the time allowed between pulls, are honored.
The introduction of observers is, in part, an attempt by the UPA to allow games to run more smoothly and become more spectator-friendly. Because of the nature of play and the unique nature of self-refereeing, ultimate games are often subject to regular and long stoppages of play. This effort and the intensity that has arisen in the highest levels of competition have led many members of the ultimate community to lament the loss of the Spirit of the Game
Ultimate Frisbee Rules: Strategy and Tactics
Ultimate Frisbee Rules:
Ultimate Frisbee Strategy: Offense
Teams employ many different offensive strategies with different goals. Most basic strategies are an attempt to create open lanes on the field for the exchange of the disc between the thrower and the receiver. Organized teams assign positions to the players based on their specific strengths. Designated throwers are called handlers and designated receivers are called cutters. The amount of autonomy or overlap between these positions depends on the make-up of the team.
One of the most common offensive strategies is the vertical stack. In this strategy, the offense lines up in a straight line along the length of the field. From this position, players in the stack make cuts (sudden sprints out of the stack) towards or away from the handler in an attempt to get open and receive the disc. The stack generally lines up in the middle of the field, thereby opening up two lanes along the sidelines for cuts, although a captain may occasionally call for the stack to line up closer to one sideline, leaving open just one larger cutting lane on the other side.
Another popular offensive ultimate frisbsee strategy is the horizontal stack. In the most popular form of this offense, three handlers line up across the width of the field with four cutters upfield, also lined up across the field. It is the handler's job to throw the disc upfield to the cutters. If no upfield options are available, the handlers swing the disc side to side in an attempt to reset the stall count while also getting the defense out of position.
Many advanced teams develop specific offenses that are variations on the basics in order to take advantage of the strengths of specific players. Frequently, these offenses are meant to isolate a few key players in one-on-one situations, allowing them more freedom of movement and the ability to make most of the plays, while the others play a supporting role.
Players making cuts have two major options in how they cut. They may cut in towards the disc and attempt to find an open avenue between defenders for a short pass, or they may cut away from the disc towards the deep field. The deep field is usually sparsely defended but requires the handler to throw a huck (a long downfield throw).
A variation on the horizontal stack offense is called a feature. In this offensive ultimate frisbee strategy three of the cutters line up deeper than usual (roughly 5 yards farther downfield) while the remaining cutter lines up closer to the handlers. This closest cutter is known as the "feature." The idea behind this strategy is that it opens up space for the feature to cut, and at the same time it allows handlers to focus all of their attention on only one cutter. This maximizes the ability for give-and-go strategies between the feature and the handlers. It is also an excellent strategy if one cutter is superior to other cutters, or if he is guarded by someone slower than him. While the main focus is on the handlers and the feature, the remaining three cutters can be used if the feature cannot get open, if there is an open deep look, or for a continuation throw from the feature itself. Typically, however, these three remaining cutters do all they can to get out of the feature's way.
Ultimate Frisbee Rules:
Ultimate Frisbee Strategy: Devense
The force
One of the most basic defensive principles is the force. In this ultimate frisbee strategy, the marker effectively cuts off the handler's access to half of the field, by aggressively blocking only one side of the handler and leaving the other side open. The unguarded side is called the force side because the thrower is generally forced to throw to that side of the field. The guarded side is called the break-force side because the thrower would have to "break" the force in order to throw to that side.
This is done because, assuming evenly matched players, the advantage is almost always with the handler and against the marker. It is relatively easy for the handler to fake out or outmaneuver a marker who is trying to block the whole field. On the other hand, it is generally possible to effectively block half of the field.
The marker calls out the force side ("force home" or "force away") before starting the stall count in order to alert the other defenders which side of the field is open to the handler. The team can choose the force side ahead of time, or change it on the fly from throw to throw. Aside from forcing home or away, other forces are "force sideline" (force towards the closest sideline), "force center" (force towards the center of the field), and "force up" (force towards either sideline but prevent a throw straight up the field). Another common tactic is to "force forehand" (force the thrower to use their forehand throw) since most players, especially at lower levels of play, have a stronger backhand throw. "Force flick" refers to the forehand; "force back" refers to the backhand.
When the marker calls out the force side, the team can then rely on the marker to block off half the field and position themselves to aggressively cover just the open/force side. If they are playing one-to-one defense, they should position themselves on the force side of their marks, since that is the side that they are most likely to cut to.
The opposite of the "force" is the "straight-up" mark (also called the "no-huck" mark). In this defense, the player marking the handler positions himself directly between the handler and the end zone and actively tries to block both forehands and backhands. Although the handler can make throws to either side, this is the best defense against long throws ("hucks") to the center of the field.
One-on-one defense
The simplest and often most effective defensive ultimate frisbee strategy is the one-on-one defense (also known as "man-on-man" or simply "man"), where each defender guards a specific offensive player, called their "mark". The one-on-one defense emphasizes speed, stamina, and individual positioning and reading of the field. Often players will mark the same person throughout the game, giving them an opportunity to pick up on their opponent's strengths and weaknesses as they play. One-on-one defense can also play a part role in other more complex zone defense strategies.
Zone defense
With a zone defense strategy, the defenders cover an area rather than a specific person. The area they cover moves with the disc as it progresses down the field. Zone defense is frequently used when the other team is substantially more athletic (faster) making one-on-one difficult to keep up with, because it requires less speed and stamina. It is also useful in a long tournament to avoid tiring out the team, or when it is very windy and long passes are more difficult.
A zone defense usually has two components. The first is a group of players close to the handlers who attempt to contain the disc and prevent forward movement, called the "wedge", "cup", "wall", or "clam" (depending on the specific play). These close defenders always position themselves relative to the disc, meaning that they have to move quickly as it passes from handler to handler.
The wedge is a configuration of two close defenders. One of them marks the handler with a force, and the other stands away and to the force side of the handler, blocking any throw or cut on that side. The wedge allows more defenders to play up the field but does little to prevent cross-field passes.
The cup involves three players, arranged in a semi-circular cup-shaped formation, one in the middle and back, the other two on the sides and forward. One of the side players marks the handler with a force, while the other two guard the open side. Therefore the handler will normally have to throw into the cup, allowing the defenders to more easily make blocks. With a cup, usually the center cup blocks the up-field lane to cutters, while the side cup blocks the cross-field swing pass to other handlers. The center cup usually also has the responsibility to call out which of the two sides should mark the thrower, usually the defender closest to the sideline of the field.
The wall involves four players in the close defense. One players is the marker, also called the "rabbit" or "chaser" because they often have to run quickly between multiple handlers spread out across the field. The other three defenders form a horizontal "wall" or line across the field in front of the handler to stop throws to cuts and prevent forward progress. The players in the second group of a zone defense, called "mids" and "deeps", position themselves further out to stop throws that escape the cup and fly upfield. Because a zone defense focuses defenders on stopping short passes, it leaves a large portion of the field to be covered by the remaining mid and deep players. Assuming that there are seven players on the field, and that a cup is in effect, this leaves four players to cover the rest of the field. In fact, usually only one deep player is used to cover hucks (the "deep-deep"), with two others defending the sidelines and possibly a single "mid-mid".
Alternately, the mids and deeps can play a one-to-one defense on the players who are outside of the cup or cutting deep, although frequent switching might be necessary.
Junk defense
An ultimate frisbee junk defense is a defense using elements of both zone and man defenses; the most famous is known as the "clam" or "chrome wall". In clam defenses, defenders cover cutting lanes rather than zones of the field or individual players. The clam can be used by several players on a team while the rest are running a man defense. This defensive strategy is often referred to as "bait and switch". In this case, when the two players the defenders are covering are standing close to each other in the stack, one defender will move over to shade them deep, and the other will move slightly more towards the thrower. When one of the receivers makes a deep cut, the first defender picks them up, and if one makes an in-cut, the second defender covers them. The defenders communicate and switch their marks if their respective charges change their cuts from in to deep, or vice versa. The clam can also be used by the entire team, with different defenders covering in cuts, deep cuts, break side cuts, and dump cuts.
Spirit of the game
Ultimate is known for its "Spirit of the Game", often abbreviated SOTG. Ultimate's self-officiated nature demands a strong spirit of sportsmanship and respect. The following description is from the official ultimate rules established by the Ultimate Players Association:

The names: Michael Haneke, "Amour" Benh Zeitlin, "Beasts of the Southern Wild" Ang Lee, "Life of Pi" Steven Spielberg, "Lincoln" David O. Russell, "Silver Linings Playbook" The dope: Close one here, I suspect: Spielberg represents what's left of Old Hollywood, while Haneke (in what may end up being his only serious Oscar consideration in this category) is knocking people out, especially those who are new to his work. A strange thing to say about someone who has directed as long as he has, but true. Will win: Steven Spielberg, "Lincoln" Should win: Michael Haneke, "Amour"

Guitar god Jeff Beck, who just turned 70, has been forced to cancel the upcoming leg of his current European tour, according to Britain's NME (New Musical Express.
Beck's reps released a statement that read, in part: "Following many months of international touring and after seeking emergency medical attention, Jeff will now undertake a short hospital procedure and his doctors have instructed a complete break from performance for a total of six weeks. Following the treatment, Jeff will fulfill his US tour commitments beginning in Missoula MT on 8th August."

The Who final world tour?
The Who is celebrating its golden anniversary with what could be its final world tour called The Who Hits 50 Tour.
"This is the beginning of the long goodbye," said 70-year-old singer Roger Daltrey at a press conference at Ronnie Scott's club in London (where they first performed "Tommy" in 1969).
The group's composer-guitarist Pete Townshend, 69, is calling the tour "Hits, Picks, Mixes and Misses" and said the band wil dig out deeper cuts this time around in addition to its usual classic hits.
The nine-concert British portion of the world tour kicks off Nov. 30 at the 13,000-seat SSE Hydro in Glasgow and wraps Dec. 17 at the 20,000-seat O2 Arena in London.
At the recent press conference, the pair also announced that they go into the studio shortly to record their first new album since 2006's "Endless Wire," which was their first studio album since 1982's "It's Hard."
Another tour for Black Sabbath on the horizon
Last month, Black Sabbath guitarist Toni Iommi said that their recent July 4th gig in London's Hyde Park was possibly the band's last ever. But it's amazing how things can change in a few weeks.
"It's been great. We've had a laugh. The tour has been marvelous; we've had a great year, and you couldn't wish for better… Thank you very much and we'll see you on the next tour," said 66-year-old Iommi in a new video message recorded the night before the concert.
In response to the video, Ozzy Osbourne said: "I'm up for another album and tour. If we can, great. If not, I'll just carry on doing my own thing."
Garth Brooks cancels Ireland comeback gigs
The Dublin City Council informed Garth Brooks that they wanted to cancel two of his five scheduled comeback concerts in Croke Park scheduled for later this month. His reply: "all five shows or none at all."
Negotiations came to a loggerhead, so Brooks cancelled all five concerts to the disappointment of the 400,000 fans who bought tickets to The Garth Brooks Comeback Special Event, reports Ireland's Journal website.
The City Council wanted to cancel the two gigs because of complaints from local residents who cited an ordinance prohibiting more than three concerts per year, even though the park's director told the Irish Mirror that exceptions were made in the past.
The concerts were to mark a return to touring with his band after a decade of what's described as semi-retirement.
From 2009-2012, he performed a one-man solo acoustic show on weekends at Encore in Las Vegas.
Lifetime achievements honors for Jackson Browne, Loretta Lynn, others

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young news
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's live 40-track, 3-CD/1DVD box set, "CSNY 1974," is finally out this week after years of speculation, negotiations between the relevant parties and additional studio work. It was a particular pet project of the group's unofficial historian, Graham Nash.
As part of Crosby, Still & Nash's promotional tour for the set, the trio — sans Young — appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" on Monday evening. Fallon, known for his musical impersonations, including Neil Young, performed, as Young, an acoustic folk take on a decidedly non Young/CSNY song, Aussie hip-hop singer-model Iggy Azalea's hit, "Fancy." Soon, he was joined by CSN. To end the show, the real trio performed Nash's "Teach Your Children."
Billy Talbot, since 1969, the bassist for Young's occasional backing band, Crazy Horse, suffered a mild stroke, reports the New York Times. The 70-year-old, who first played with Young on his second solo album "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" in 1969, is expected to make a full recovery. However, a replacement was needed for Young and Crazy Horse's 18-date European tour that began Monday in Iceland. Talbot's replacement is Rick Rosas, known as "Rick the Bass Player, who has played with Young in various bands for decades, including with the reformed Buffalo Springfield and with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
New Releases
Among the recently released albums, digital reissues, MP3 downloads and box sets are "Now — Chicago XXXVI" is, yes, the 36th album from the jazz-rock and pop hitmakers since their 2-LP debut as Chicago Transit Authority in 1969 and the band's first album of new material since 2006; available on DVD and/or CD is "Linda Ronstadt — Blue Bayou : Live 1977"; and "Beautiful Goodbye," the first album of new songs in six years from 50-year-old soft rock practitioner Richard Marx, whose first four albums, from 1987-1994 each went platinum or multi-platinum.
"John Mellencamp Performs No More Trouble Live at Town Hall" is a 13-track record of a 2003 gig that sees the rocking troubadour perform his latest release from that year , a covers album, in its entirety, including Robert Johnson's "Stones In My Passway," and Woody Guthrie's "Johnny Hart" and wrapping the set with his 1983 hit, "Pink Houses"; "Live in Nashville 1995" from country folk-rocker Steve Earle; and a 3-CD set, "Genesis Revisited: Live at the Royal Albert Hall" from that band's former guitarist Steve Hackett; and a budget priced ($8.99 on Amazon) 23-song set, "All-Time Greatest Hits" from Neil Diamond that includes all the biggies and his original solo version of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers."

I do many things, mostly where people can see me, so the decision to grow a something akin to desert tundra on my face was not an easy one. With my hair colour and complexion, facial hair was always to be an unlikely companion, but just for the month of Movember I (and the relevant house-hold authorities) have made an exception.
As a way of raising awareness of and money for cancer charities, it's genius, as I actually have to do less in my daily grooming session. Which is not an inconsiderable amount of time saved. I may even say the Daily Office. (*vicar joke*)
So, forgive me for using my blog as a tool to publicise this, and feel free to ignore it as much as you would ignore a charity mugger with a dodgy beard. I know I do. If I raise £200 I will even shave off the edges and the under-carriage to leave the official Movember moustache. Now there's a terrifying thought.
Here is my Movember page – click here to find out more, and/or to donate. Cancer charities have a special place in my heart, and I am doing this primarily to raise awareness, not cash. Thank you.
ps. Yes , it makes me look well rough. help me.

Both neighbors and members of the Chestnut Hill Community Association's Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee voiced serious objections to the scale of Bowman Properties' plans to redevelop the former Magarity Ford site at 8200 Germantown Ave. during the committee's July 7 meeting
Bowman's plans for a retail and residential complex anchored by Fresh Market, a grocery store chain based in North Carolina, include construction of nine attached houses that will face Pastorius Park along Shawnee Street. These houses received much greater scrutiny from those in attendance than the same presentation got at the Development Review Committee on June 16.
Architect and local resident Tom Beck called into question statements by Bowman representatives that the project fits into the context of the surrounding neighborhood.
"In all my study of the images that represent the project, I see a woeful disrespect for context generally," he said.
That echoed a concern of former LUPZ co-chair Greg Woodring, who challenged the position of Bowman attorney Matt McClure that the proposed zoning change and design represent the most appropriate use of the property.
"I don't see in the plans … any response to the context of the community," he said.
Woodring said that a lack of landscaping on the site and an overabundance of commercial development works in favor of the developer to the disadvantage of the near neighbors.
Matt McClure, a lawyer for the project, explained that the two-acre site is split by two different zoning districts.
"There is nothing like this [property] in Chestnut Hill," McClure said. "The site is unique in size, unique in use, unique in zoning."
At the front, or Germantown Avenue side, of the property, the zoning is C-7 Commercial, which doesn't allow for any residential use. The rear third of the property is zoned R-5 Residential, which prohibits any commercial development. In order to proceed with the mixed-use plan as presented, the zoning will need to be changed.
"It's a conundrum," said McClure. "The property has been zoned out of existence."
Instead of applying to the Zoning Board of Assessment for a variance to the current zoning, McClure said that, based on the advice of the City Planning Commission, Bowman will attempt to change the zoning with an act of City Council.
The new zoning suggested by the planning commission, however, would allow for even more dense development than what is intended. McClure said that deed restrictions would be placed on the property to prevent unnecessarily dense development from occurring in the future.
"This is a different process altogether – this is actually changing the underlying zoning of the property itself," McClure said.
That process, he explained, involves introducing legislation before City Council, submitting the proposed change to the planning commission and the Rules Committee for review and comment, and finally a vote by City Council.
"It's a multi-month process," he said. "We're here right now because we want to work through the 'what' – what it is we're proposing."
Woodring wasn't satisfied that a commercial development was the right answer for the property and suggested that Fresh Market wasn't the ideal candidate for this site. His remark prompted applause from the audience. He asked whether any studies had been done to investigate using the site strictly for residential use.
"It's difficult to imagine how many studies were done," project manager Seth Shapiro answered.
LUPZ co-chair Cynthia Brey, curious about other alternatives to dealing with the restrictions that the current zoning placed on the site, asked McClure whether the property could be subdivided. McClure answered in the affirmative.
"So you could slice this any way you want to," Brey said.
McClure said that subdivision was not preferable.
"If you had a split zoning district on your house and in order for you to build you'd have to subdivide your backyard, you might not be too happy either," he countered.
The question of whether commercial development on the site was appropriate carried over into a question about the need for more storefront space along the Avenue and a fear that more storefront space would simply remain vacant like other storefronts on Germantown Avenue.
"In addition to doing this project, I'm also the president of the Business Improvement District in Chestnut Hill," Shapiro told the crowd, "which puts me in an advantageous position to know who is coming and who is not."
He explained that prospective tenants who show interest in coming to the Hill to set up business are only interested in space at the top of the Hill.
"One of the real crucial things that the Magarity site can do is start to shift that gravity," Shapiro said."
Shapiro cited a lack of foot traffic on the lower part of the hill as the main reason businesses stay away.
"Something like this will get folks there, and now you have an anchor," he said.
Shapiro described Fresh Market as a publicly traded North Carolina-based company with more than 100 stores nationwide. In the last two years, he said, the company has begun an expansion into the Northeast region of the country. Its interest is in locating to a mix of places, from neighborhood settings to suburban lifestyle centers.
Shapiro said that roughly 30 percent of its stores are in more dense, neighborhood settings. Notable sites include Miami Beach, Westport, Conn., and Coral Springs, Fla.
"Where typical supermarkets have a mix of 75 percent non-perishable items and 25 percent perishable, Fresh Market touts themselves as having the opposite, with 75 percent of their offerings perishable – such as produce, prepared foods, extensive meat and fish counters, and a bakery," Shapiro said.
The proposed development is a multi-story building with a 20,000 square-foot grocery store situated off the Avenue behind 6,500 square feet of retail space along the Avenue on the ground floor. Above this, 14 condominium units averaging 2,200 square feet each will be built on the second, third, and fourth floors above the retail stores.
No residential units will be above the grocery store. Below the retail and condos, 19 underground parking spaces are planned. An additional 85 surface parking spaces are planned for the rear of the property.
In addition, the plan proposes a row of nine attached houses along Shawnee Street, with front doors that face Pastorius Park. Each of these homes will feature private covered parking, adjacent to the market's parking lot. The homes themselves have yet to be designed and were depicted on the plan as featureless forms.
Architects Stan Runyon (with Runyon and Associates) and Richard Gelper (with SPG3) presented the program with architect's renderings of the proposed building. Their presentation was nearly identical to the one they made on June 16 to the DRC, with two notable additions.
Based on requests from DRC members, Gelper presented architect's renderings of three views of the site from the backyards of properties along Southampton Avenue. They also presented architect's renderings of "sun and shadow studies" of the site, which simulates how shadows cast from the completed development will fall on the Avenue and surrounding neighborhoods on both the winter and summer solstices.
Once all public comments were heard, the LUPZ unanimously approved a motion to form a subcommittee working group, which will include near neighbors and meet separately on a smaller scale to discuss the project in more detail and work through some of the issues presented.
Bowman will present the traffic study for the project to the Traffic, Transportation, and Parking Committee on Monday, July 11. 0

Those producers have experienced a variety of adverse weather conditions. "Late-spring snow, cold rain and sleet storms have moved across parts of the northern Plains, and have coincided with peak calving and lambing seasons," says Karl Hoppe, North Dakota State University Extension Service area livestock specialist at the Carrington Extension Research Center. "Now flooding is occurring along many streams and river systems. Last summer and fall, severe drought conditions also affected ranches and farms in some regions of the northern Plains." "Currently, there are no federal disaster assistance programs available for adverse weather disasters," says Dwight Aakre, NDSU Extension farm management specialist. "The 2008 farm bill (Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008) authorized several livestock loss programs that expired on Oct. 1, 2011. The Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) provided benefits for livestock deaths in excess of normal mortality caused by adverse weather. The Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) covered grazing losses and the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-raised Fish Program (ELAP) covered death losses not eligible under LIP, grazing not covered under LFP and farm-raised fish and honeybee death and feed losses." However, legislation has been introduced in Congress that would extend LIP, LFP and ELAP for five years and would retroactively cover losses in fiscal years 2012 and 2013. It is not known if this legislation will pass, be amended or even replaced when a new farm bill that could include disaster assistance is passed. "Since adverse weather conditions are causing livestock losses, it is important for livestock producers to document all weather-related deaths in case retroactive programs become available," says Tim Petry, NDSU Extension livestock economist. "The previous LIP program covered losses in excess of normal mortality, so it is important for livestock producers to document normal losses, even if a weather disaster has not yet occurred in a particular area." Providing adequate proof that livestock losses occurred due to an adverse weather event is sometimes a challenge for producers, according to the Extension specialists. Saving local news articles that document the date and severity of the adverse weather, along with good production records and photographs, is a starting point. A fact sheet for the previous LIP program that describes various methods for providing adequate proof is available athttp://www.fsa.usda.gov/Internet/FSA_File/lip2011_158c020211.pdf. Back to news

President Lech Walesa of Poland
Middlebury College Commencement Address, May 21, 2000
Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, I have prepared well for the meeting with you, therefore I have about 100 different speeches in my Palm Top, one more in my pocket, and, as it turns out, not one of them is properly appropriate for today's ceremony. Therefore, I have to put all of those speeches aside, and take into account the fact that it might start raining at any moment, and to have a briefer speech. Therefore, let me just say a few words, bearing in mind all the conditionings.
First of all, let me express my gratitude that you permanently included me in the history of your college. I started thinking what we could have in common, me, being a revolutionary, and you young people. However, I was surprised myself, realizing at the last moment that there are many things that we have in common. You are entering your grown up, mature life in the third millennium, whereas I had the honor and privilege of closing up a certain stage of our history. Of course, to you, Lech Walesa and my Solidarity movement may be as distant as George Washington and his struggle for freedom, however, the two names are associated with a great fight for a very important cause.
Let me recall one thing, very briefly. After the second World War, the world divided into two opposing blocks, two zones of influences. One of them was very tightly closed, it wouldn't let people out, it was based on censorship and security police, whereas the other was based on freedom and democracy. It was a very difficult situation, and I think the struggle against that difficult system that was closed was really hard because, for example, you have here a very close neighbor that still has the system, and you still haven't won the battle against that neighbor. Of course, my problem was even harder because the Soviet Union was bigger than that neighbor that I refer to, when, in fact, I have my suspicions that you want to keep that country as a kind of a "Jurassic Park" of Marxism and Leninism. Perhaps that's sensible from one point of view, I don't know. Right now the situation seems as if you were having a mosquito biting the United States on the nose.
But since it has actually started raining, let me add just two more sentences.
In fact, the struggle that I led and that we won opened up tremendous opportunities for you, and in fact the United States has remained the only super power in the world, which is a great responsibility. Today's world differs completely from the one I lived in, in my era. In fact, it's opened up for a new order that needs to be put in it, and it is up to you educated people to put this order in the world.
It is a very pleasant ceremony, but remember that apart, next to the opportunities that you have, you also face great dangers and challenges. I am deeply confident that you-having such high education, having been so well trained-that you will be able to cope with those challenges. And in fact, if it suddenly occurs to you that you are fed up with being the super power of the world, just give the position to Poland and they will know what to do with it.
And to conclude, ladies and gentlemen, I call you the generation of the Internet, the generation of globalization, and the generation of almost limitless opportunities and chances. You only need one thing to be successful: just believe, like I did believe in my life. Because, I was merely an electrician and the only things I had were my belief in God, and my belief in what I was doing, and look, here I am addressing myself to you, to you young people and all the faculty members, and to you highly educated people, now having been awarded with almost 100 honorary doctoral degrees, medals and awards-I don't know whether you remember what Leonid Brezhnev looked like, but I think I have 10 times as many as he had. If I wanted to put them all on, you would need a crane to lift me out from my chair. Just imagine what I could have achieved had I had your education, and your background. Just imagine what things would look like had I lived in the territory of the super power. That's why I am so confident about your future, and I am hopeful that you are going to cope, and face all the challenges. I hope that you are going to be successful for very big, important reasons, and also for very minor and personal ones-because then my old-age pension will be better if you are successful!
Thanks very much again for the honor I have been awarded, and congratulations to you. I hope you are going to have a good and prosperous life, and God bless you.

Lech Walesa, Doctor of Letters
Lech Walesa, former President of Poland, winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace, leader in bringing democracy to Eastern Europe. An electrician at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk, Poland, you were an antigovernment union activist in the 1970s, and lost your job as a result. In 1980, during protests over high food prices by the workers at the shipyard, you climbed over the fence to join your comrades inside, and were elected head of the strike committee to negotiate with the government. Within weeks, you had signed an agreement allowing workers the right to organize free and independent unions, and for sixteen months you led the federation of unions known as Solidarity, which had grown to ten million members by the end of 1981. In December 1981, Solidarity was outlawed, the government of Poland imposed martial law, and you were detained for nearly a year. Fearing that you would not be allowed to return to your homeland, you remained in Poland while your wife traveled to Oslo in December 1983 to accept the Nobel Prize for Peace on your behalf. In 1988 and 1989, as a new wave of unrest swept across Eastern Europe, the government was forced to negotiate with you once again, and you signed an agreement restoring Solidarity to legal status and permitting free elections for some of the members of the Polish parliament. In 1990, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, you won Poland's first free and direct presidential election, and oversaw the transition of the economy from a state-run to a free-market system, as well as the establishment of responsible and accountable parliamentary democracy in Poland. Since the end of your term as president in 1995, you have traveled widely, under the auspices of the Walesa Institute, speaking on the transition to democracy in Eastern Europe. You have truly been one of the significant figures in world history of the past two decades, and we are honored that you have been able to join us at Middlebury College in this, our Bicentennial year.
It is therefore my privilege, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Board of Trustees of Middlebury College, to confer upon you the degree of Doctor of Letters, honoris causa, with all the rights, honors, privileges and responsibilities here and everywhere appertaining to this degree.
Student Speech by Blake Rutherford '00
Middlebury College Commencement, May 21, 2000
Today, we are fortunate to experience one of the great accomplishments in life. Like thousands throughout America, we are gathered at the beginning of a new millennium, a unique time in our nation and in our world. But unlike thousands we have come together in a very special place- nestled between the Adirondacks and the Green Mountains--a place where we worked hard, played hard, made lifelong friends, and have spent some of the best years of our lives. Paraphrasing the legendary Bob Hope, "Middlebury: Thanks for the Memories."
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Class of 2000--individually and collectively--for your achievements. I also want to thank the Board of Trustees, the administration, faculty, and staff for providing us the very best. And I especially want to thank our parents and families for paying for it.
At our centennial celebration one hundred years ago, the Middlebury Register characterized it as the "day of days for the undergraduate." Today, a century later, is most certainly our day of days and one that we will celebrate and remember forever with great pride, for as Emerson noted, "The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it.
"Middlebury College began in 1800 under the direction of President Jeremiah Atwater in a small building with only seven students. As we see almost 200 hundred years later, more than 2000 students larger, under the direction of President John McCardell, much has changed.
Built for only $8,000, Painter Hall, constructed between 1814 and 1816, is currently the oldest building on campus. Although it stands the same today, the environment and the atmosphere around it do not.
Admittance into Middlebury in 1815 used to consist of a forty-minute oral examination in Latin, Greek and arithmetic. Remembering back four years ago, I could only wish the process was as simple.
But today, thanks to the efforts of many, Middlebury is blessed with a stronger, more diverse student body than it has ever had.
We have seen the number of applicants to Middlebury grow steadily over the past four years.
We have seen the number of minorities on campus grow over the past four years.
Most importantly, we have seen Middlebury's reputation grow and spread all over the United States and to dozens of countries across the world.
Our accomplishment and our experiences have taught us a lot about ourselves and about Middlebury College. As we strive to promote a more diverse environment, we find ourselves struggling to come to terms with many difficult questions and issues. In answering these, let us turn to the lessons taught to us by three prominent Middlebury graduates.
Roswell Field graduated from Middlebury College in 1822. Upon his departure from the College, he became a lawyer, and is most famous for arguing to the Supreme Court on behalf of a slave named Dred Scott. Although the Court did not rule in his favor, his case has taught us that intolerance and bigotry cannot and should not be permitted against any group, at any level.
Alexander Twilight received his Middlebruy diploma in 1823, and in turn became the first African-American to receive a college degree. Today, several minority students will walk across this stage as members of the class of 2000. No doubt, Mr. Twilight would be encouraged.
Ron Brown graduated from Middlebury in 1962. Upon his arrival here, which at the time was almost all white, one campus fraternity objected, saying they only permitted "White, Christian" members, Brown and other members of his fraternity chose to fight. In time our local chapter was expelled, but because of his efforts, Middlebury, more importantly, made it college policy that no exclusionary chapters would exist on campus.
Ron Brown had an exemplary professional career serving as Secretary of Commerce until his death in a tragic plane crash in 1996. Jesse Jackson once said of him, "He learned to be a bridge between the cultures." I hope we all can remember that lesson here today. A lesson, no doubt, Ron Brown learned at Middlebury College.
We've come a long way since these individuals were here, but we still have a long way to go.
I am a son of the South. I came a far distance to go to school here. Acceptance to Middlebury was my own impossible dream. I graduated from Little Rock Central High School where 43 years ago nine African-American students were denied admittance prompting a constitutional crisis our nation had not seen since the Civil War.
While much progress has been made, today in parts of the Mississippi Delta region of our own country--just a couple of hours from my home--there is poverty at its very worst.
Several years ago the late Senator Everett Dirksen of Illinois was speaking at a ceremony at the Gettysburg Battlefield where he said, "Men died here and men are sleeping here who fought under a July sun that the nation might endure: united, free, tolerant, and devoted to equality. The task was unfinished. It is never quite finished."
He was right. It is never quite finished.
With our Middlebury foundation, we're now going to embark on a world full of many wonderful opportunities and also of many grave problems. If we can remember two important lessons, our lives and certainly our world will be a much better place. First, the future can always be better than the present. And second, we have a responsibility to ensure that that is the case. It is a responsibility we have to ourselves, to our communities, to Middlebury and most importantly to those who are not as fortunate to be here, among us, today.
This afternoon we leave Middlebury with a greater knowledge of various academic fields, the world and ourselves. We also leave Middlebury young and energetic, bound closer to one another more than we probably ever will be through our friendships, our relationships, and our experiences. And with that we now have the opportunity to help and serve others.
Robert Kennedy said, "This world demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of will, a quality of the imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite of adventure over the love of ease."
Today, we make history as the first graduating class of Middlebury's third century. It is an accomplishment that I'm sure makes our families, our friends, and those close and important to us very proud as well. So let us always remember this day, May 21, 2000 as our day of days--our historic day. And very soon will all embark on separate journeys and begin a new and exciting chapter in our lives.
In doing so, let us not forget the famous words of Tennyson who wrote, "That which we are, we are, one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will, to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
And for the class of 2000, the world now awaits and the best is yet to be.
Good Luck and Congratulations.

The former owner and General Manager of the Gettysburg Auto Exchange were sentenced today for defrauding charities and donors of used vehicles out of hundreds thousands of dollars. William C. Stake, 41, of Chambersburg, the former owner of Gettysburg Auto Exchange, was sentenced to 27 months' in jail. David R. Burk, 65, also of Chambersburg, the former General Manager of the Gettysburg Auto Exchange, was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and two years' of supervised release. Both men were ordered to jointly pay $524,694 in restitution.
According to United States Attorney Peter J. Smith, Stake and Burk were charged in November 2011 with operating and conspiring to operate a scheme to defraud charities who used the Gettysburg Auto Exchange to sell vehicles donated by private individuals for charitable causes. Gettysburg Auto Exchange agreed to assist non-profit organizations that solicited the public to donate used vehicles to charities. The charities would then arrange with various used car dealers/auctions to sell the donated vehicle and to send the proceeds from the sale to the charities, which would then distribute the funds to the particular charitable causes and institutions.
The non-profit charities entered into agreements with Gettysburg Auto Exchange to collect, transport and sell donated used vehicles and to send the proceeds to the charities, with the
transportation fee and selling fee deducted from the proceeds by the Gettysburg Auto Exchange. Stake, assisted by Burk, engaged in a scheme to defraud both the charities and the donors of the used vehicles by selling the vehicles and keeping a significant portion of the proceeds of the sale for himself. Stake created fictitious bills of sale indicating that the vehicles had been sold at less than the actual price. These fictitious bills of sale were then sent to the victim charities as proof that they had received the full sale price of the donated vehicle. As a result, the charities were defrauded of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Stake pleaded guilty to mail fraud and Burk pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.
The case was investigated by the Harrisburg Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Zubrod prosecuted the

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Michael Strautmanis knew the Obamas before they were the Obamas.
Michael Strautmanis was working as a paralegal in Chicago when he first met the Obamas.
While working as a paralegal for a large law firm in Chicago, Illinois, he met the then-Michelle Robinson and her fiancé, Barack Obama.
Strautmanis, 40, looked to the Obamas as both friends and role models. He and his wife got married the same year as the Obamas and followed their path into law.
Since then, Strautmanis has volunteered for Obama's U.S. Senate campaign, worked as a staffer in his Senate office and now serves as White House chief of staff for the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs.
Through his years with Obama, he didn't imagine he'd follow him to the White House.
"I didn't have in mind that he would ever be president when I met him. But he is somebody who ... stands out."
Strautmanis believes he is part of something special.
"Every single day something happens. Either I meet somebody or I get to see somebody's face the first time they see the president." Strautmanis said. "I get to see a man that I've known and watched grow for some time really step into this role. It's a pinch yourself thing every single day."
Strautmanis also understands the impact of the Obama administration and, as a member of it, his opportunity to be a role model.
"You know, I think about the pictures of the young men and women that you'd see in the civil rights movement, you know, well-dressed, backs straight, walking forward into something they're doing for themselves, for their family members and for those that are yet unborn, and I try to think about that in the work that I do every single day here," Strautmanis said.
"I've read all the time about the African-Americans that have had a chance to participate in history, and it seems like the people that have made the most impact have, you know, connected with something beyond themselves...so I just try to do it the same way as I've heard other people do."
Strautmanis wants his family and other African-Americans to understand that the White House belongs to everyone, and he takes advantage of opportunities to involve his own family.
"I've had the opportunity, if you can imagine, to call your family members from Air Force One," Strautmanis says. "It's actually not a very good conversation because they're usually so stunned they don't even know what to say, but it's an opportunity, really, as I talk to them to make this real."

I haven't begun to make my selections/replacements yet, since I didn't want to risk contaminating the contents with my germs. Is everyone OK with me waiting another day or so before mailing the box? I just don't want to get anyone sick.
I'm working from home today, so if it's decided that I should just go ahead and send anyway, I can do that this afternoon/evening.

BREWSTER The defending state 1A champion Brewster High School girls basketball team graduated two players, but should be a contender again this year.
"We've got some holes to fill, there's no doubt about that," Brewster coach Roger Boesel said. "I do have a pretty good nucleus. We are not going to have as much depth this year. We didn't have that much last year."
The Bears must fill vacancies left by Becky Mae Taylor and Jessie Hammons.
Markie Miller and Margie Brammer will fill the holes early, the coach said.
"That's the way it sits right now, anyway," the coach said.
Starters are state Player of the Year Chandler Smith, along with Monica Landdeck (first team) and Brette Boesel (second team).
Smith recently committed to play next year at the University of Nebraska.
Taylor is attending the Cornish Institute in Seattle. Hammons is playing softball for Wenatchee Valley College.
The team also lost Andi Gebbers, who was often first off the bench.
"They are tall and fast," she said.
Tonasket played in the Okanogan Jamboree on Tuesday.
The Tigers are at Liberty Bell on Friday and return home for Kettle Falls on Saturday.
OKANOGAN — "We are very young," Okanogan coach Bryan Boesel said.
The Bulldogs graduated first team Kara Staggs and second team Caitlyn Behymer, who are both playing basketball at North Idaho College, and Megan Parks, who is playing soccer for Wenatchee Valley College.
Okanogan will regroup around junior Cameron Moses and sophomores Keanna Egbert and Denise Romero.
Predicted to dent the varsity lineup are freshmen Jordyn Boesel and Jill Townsend and sophomores Cayden Diefenbach and Jocelyn Moore.
The coach predicted Brewster and Cashmere will be the league powers, followed by Chelan and Cascade.
Okanogan hosted a jamboree Tuesday.
The Bulldogs play a traveling Australian team tonight, go to Lake Roosevelt on Thursday and return home for Medical Lake on Saturday.
"It will be a real busy week here," Boesel said. "We will see how our kids respond."
REPUBLIC — Republic could well be the team to beat in the Panorama League, coach Ted Torzewski said.
Demi Jo Vaughn and Kacie Lane, both all-league last year, return. Both are injured right now, but are expected back in January.
Republic will start three freshmen, a sophomore and a junior, Torzewski said.
He predicted Selkirk, Cusick and Curlew will be vying for the top of the league.
The Tigers host Odessa-Harrington on Friday, then go to Oroville on Tuesday next week.
The coach said Cashmere and Okanogan are his Top 2 picks in the Caribou Trail League.
"Chelan will be in the mix, too," Boesel said. "Brewster will be in the mix. Where exactly, I am not 100 percent sure. We will compete."
Brewster plays Pateros at home Friday, then goes to Ephrata on Saturday.
TONASKET — Tonasket sports six seniors back this year.
"We have a lot of seniors, but they have not necessarily played varsity before," Tonasket coach Stephanie Schertenleib said.
One of those seniors, Kylie Dellinger, was an honorable mention player in the CTL last year.
The Tigers did graduate two starters – Devon Utt and Kelly Cruz.
Schertenleib takes over from Mike Larson, who coached for two years.
She coached Tonasket for two years prior to Larson.
The coach said there have been good practices as the girls attempt to learn a new systems.
She said Okanogan and Brewster should be strong, as will Chelan.
"I don't know, honestly, where we fit," she said. "It depends on how it all comes together."
Schertenleib was happy to see five girls from the soccer team turning out.

In particular, there isn't sufficient assets, for example, books, fans, warm condition, aerate and cool, which makes it awkward for understudies to concentrate on studies. In by and large, the school is alright. The experience you escape this is 100% in view of how you make it. Since the school is underprivileged, it does not have the assets and necessities to be effectively helpful to the understudies. In any case, the bond that you could make there is stunning.

Smeal Alumni in Profile: Professional Master's Program Helps Alumna Take Career to Next Level
Stacy Mumm, a 2001 West Point graduate, served as an active duty U. S. Army Logistics Officer for seven years, including two deployments in Iraq. In civilian life, she wanted a career in supply chain management. To boost her marketability, she turned to the Penn State Smeal College of Business Master of Professional Studies program in supply chain management, a 30-credit program delivered fully online in partnership with Penn State World Campus.
"Faculty members were extremely supportive in quickly responding to all my questions, and the group work with other students was one of my favorite aspects of the program."
"A standard MBA didn't appeal to me," said Mumm. "When I discussed this with one of my supervisors, he mentioned supply chain management as a good fit, and he was right."
She graduated from the program in August, and now she works as a project manager for strategic end-to-end supply chain operations for Under Armour, an athletic apparel brand.
"The degree gave me an advantage over other candidates applying for my current job because it allowed me to be very well-rounded," she said.
Mumm said she chose the Penn State program in Supply Chain Management because of its top ranking. She also wanted to continue to work full-time while completing the degree, so the online program was ideal.
"Faculty members were extremely supportive in quickly responding to all my questions," said Mumm, "and the group work with other students was one of my favorite aspects of the program." She communicated with team members through Skype and over email.
Supply chain management is a growing field, and according to Mumm, the continuing increase in economic globalization will only make it more important in the future.
"I'm incredibly excited about the field, as my current company is experiencing explosive growth and rapid globalization, and I get to be part of designing the supply chain that supports this."
"Competitive advantage among companies all pursuing the same consumers is achieved by those who find a better way to serve customers while reducing the costs associated with doing so," she said. "I'm incredibly excited about the field, as my current company is experiencing explosive growth and rapid globalization, and I get to be part of designing the supply chain that supports this."

ADDISON COUNTY — It's no secret that Vermont's population, on average, is aging, and Addison County is being affected almost as much as any of the rural counties.
In the past 10 years, three new senior living facilities opened in Addison County (Armory Lane Senior Housing in Vergennes and Eastview and the Lodge at Otter Creek in Middlebury), indicating an increase in the county's elderly population. During the same period, high school enrollment dropped to its lowest levels since the early 1990s.
