Dog Date
At the drive-in

Love it! I take my Lucy girl on dates all the time preferring to mostly go places where my dog is allowed or at least tolerated. Check out some of the dog-friendly wine bars we've gone to on our Sonoma Square night out dates! http://dogs2cents.com/2010/08/doggone-good-sonoma-square/
I've been taking dogs to drive-ins for years. It's one of the best doggie dates ever.
Other favorites--chartered boat rides (many boaters are also dog lovers) and outdoor markets.

Press Release
Pew Report Finds Recent College Graduates Well-Protected Against Worst Effects of Recession
Americans With Only High School Degree Most Vulnerable to Economic Downturn
How Much Protection Does a College Degree Afford? The Impact of the Recession on Recent College Graduates, the newest research from Pew's Economic Mobility Project, reveals that a four-year college degree helped shield the latest graduates from a range of poor employment outcomes during the Great Recession, including unemployment, low-skill jobs, and lesser wages.
"Higher education is one of the key factors driving upward mobility in the United States," said Diana Elliott, research manager of Pew's Economic Mobility Project. "Even under the pressures of the most recent economic downturn, a four-year college degree provided protection in the labor market for recent college graduates."
Past research from Pew's Economic Mobility Project has shown the power of a college education to both promote upward mobility and prevent downward mobility. The chances of moving from the bottom of the family income ladder all the way to the top are three times greater for someone with a college degree than for someone without one. Moreover, when compared to their less credentialed counterparts, college graduates have been able to count on much higher earnings and lower unemployment rates.
Analysis for How Much Protection Does A College Degree Afford? was conducted by David B. Grusky, Beth Red Bird, Natassia Rodriguez, and Christopher Wimer of the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality. Using current data to measure the early labor market outcomes of 21–24 year olds, this report furthers the project's understanding of post-secondary education as a key driver of upward mobility:
- Although all 21–24 year olds experienced declines in employment and wages during the recession, the decline was considerably more severe for those with only high school or associate degrees.
- Before the recession, just over half of young adults with a high school degree (HS) were employed, compared to almost two-thirds of those with an associate degree (AA) and nearly three-fourths of those with a bachelor's degree (BA).
- Job losses during the recession made existing employment gaps even worse. The employment declines for those with HS and AA degrees were 16 and 11 percent, respectively, compared with 7 percent for those with a BA degree.
- The comparatively high employment rate of recent college graduates was not driven by a sharp increase in those settling for lesser jobs or lower wages.
- The share of non-working graduates seeking further education did not markedly change during the recession.
- Out-of-work college graduates were able to find jobs during the downturn with more success than their less-educated counterparts.
- The proportion of BA degree-holders who transitioned from being excluded from the labor market (i.e., not working or in school) to employment barely changed during the recession.
- In contrast, the proportions of HS and AA graduates who found employment declined significantly with the recession—by approximately 10 percent for those with AA degrees and 8 percent for those with HS degrees.
Methodology: This report, drawing upon data from the 2003-2011 Current Population Survey, provides a comprehensive comparison of the economic well-being of high school and college graduates, ages 21 to 24, throughout the pre-recession, recession, and post-recession periods.
By forging a broad and nonpartisan agreement on the facts, figures, and trends related to mobility, the Economic Mobility Project is generating an active policy debate about how best to improve economic opportunity in the United States and to ensure that the American Dream is kept alive for generations that follow.

Shelby County
Tennessee, USA
Edna Aline Billings was born in Memphis, Tennessee at what was then known as John Gaston Hospital. She married George Clarence Pepin who was in the Navy and stationed at Millington, Tennessee at the time. He was originally from Ishpeming, Michigan.
They had one child, Mary Alice Pepin, born in July, 1959. She married Nathan Kent Moran in May 2004 and bore a son named Nathan George Moran on September 15, 1997.
Edna had two sisters and three brothers. With the death of the youngest Billings sibling in August 2012 my cousins and myself are now the "older generation".

Melvin Maurice "Jack" Billings Sr
Edna never remarried after the death of her husband. Her mother encouraged her and her sister Marie to move in together and in 1963 the two sisters purchased a home in the Colonial Acres neighborhood of Memphis. They stayed together until about 1998 when the two sisters sold the house and went their separate ways.
Edna worked at a variety of places through the years starting with the Chili Bowl, a small family restaurant owned by her father M.A. Billings. That's where she met her future husband, George Pepin. Later she worked for Guy McHand, owner of four Frostop restaurants in the Memphis area. Later she went on to work for Payless Shoe Source, and Coopers Piggly Wiggly.
After the birth of her only grandchild, Nathan George Moran, she began taking care of him because she couldn't stand the thought of his being in daycare. He was her greatest joy in life.
In January 2000 Edna was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma of the lung, a very aggressive lung cancer. She had 8 months of chemotherapy and went into remission. Over the course of the next several weeks she did well. Then she began to have memory issues, trouble walking, and other symptoms that she continued to hide from us.
On the day after Thanksgiving 2000 she was not able to get out of bed and I took her to the emergency room at St. Francis Hospital. After more than 12 hours of waiting I was told that the cancer had spread to her brain and there was nothing they could do. She stayed in hospital until December 7. She died at home two days later on December 9 at approximately 7pm.
My mother didn't want a funeral. She said that she didn't want everyone gawking at her after she died. A private, very small get together was held at Forest Hill Cemetery East. Those in attendance were myself, my husband Kent Moran, and my mothers favorite brother and sister-in-law Jack and Brenda Billings.
Mom, I wish had your memory for dates. You always knew when someone's birthday was coming up or when they died. I smile when I think about how you said your body might be crap but there wasn't a darn thing wrong with your brain. :)

The Official Website of the Louisiana Department of Revenue
BATON ROUGE - A record-shattering 5,127 individual taxpayers were given a second chance on their state taxes bringing in more than $500,000 for the state under the recently completed Taxpayer Amnesty Program, according to figures announced today by Secretary of Revenue John Kennedy.
According to current numbers compiled by the Department, 5,127 applications were accepted totaling $524,610.14 in collections during the three-month Tax Amnesty period of October 1, 1998 to December 31, 1998. The average amount collected per applicant was $102.32. These numbers, however, are unaudited and subject to change as more applications are processed and analyzed over the next 6-8 weeks.
"The huge success of the Tax Amnesty program, in terms of the number of people helped as well as in the amount of money collected, is a major accomplishment for the Department," says Secretary Kennedy. "Under the direction and leadership of Governor Mike Foster, the Louisiana Department of Revenue is working hard to make paying taxes as fair, easy, and convenient as possible. The success of the Tax Amnesty Program is further proof of that effort."
Tax Amnesty allowed individuals or small businesses who had not already been contacted by the Department of Revenue about their delinquency to pay the back taxes owed, and only one-half of the interest accrued, without penalty or fear of civil or criminal prosecution by the Department. In addition, taxpayers who owed $500 or less in taxes per tax period prior to July 1, 1997 and who had been contacted by the Department for taxes due were also eligible for Tax Amnesty. All types of taxes were eligible, including individual income, sales, and inheritance taxes.
Kennedy says that comparisons with previous Tax Amnesty programs in 1985 and 1987 should be viewed in perspective. While the 1985 program generated $1.2 million dollars, it only helped 382 taxpayers. Similarly, in the 1987 program where $279,000 was collected only 77 people were helped. "The biggest difference between the 1998 program and previous programs is that this time, large corporate taxpayers were excluded and the program was geared more to small taxpayers who got behind in their taxes for reasons beyond their control," says Secretary Kennedy. "Tax Amnesty recognized that nobody''s perfect. Its purpose was to give these taxpayers a second chance - and I''m proud to say that more than 5,000 of them accepted that second chance."

For those complaining about the price of mustard powder - it's really inexpensive online, or from a spice store like Penzeys. This is a good solid recipe. I added a pinch of cloves and allspice, too...
Sweet-Hot Honey Mustard
This is a delicious complement to holiday ham and turkey. Spread it on a grilled chicken sandwich or over the crust of a quiche before adding the filling. Straight from the jar, it makes a bold and spicy dip for egg rolls. Look for bargains on packets of dry mustard at wholesale clubs and specialty markets, or order online at www.penzeys.com.

"Great device overall"Display: Very bright vivid colors on a HUGE 5.5 inch display
Call Quality: Speaker phone was great and produced loud sounds. Non speaker on the other hand, not so great in my use.
Battery Life: What an impressive battery for such a large bright display. Very impressed. Did I say how good it was?
Design: Feels a little better (maybe being heavier) than the s4 with some nice touches with the chrome edges.
Apps: What can I say about Samsungs bloatware and features. Most will never be used by myself but the things I do use work great and have become a staple for my daily use. S pen is not a novelty.
9/10 for this premium device. On a side note i will say there are certain issues with Wifi, namely not being able to keep a stable wifi connection. Eats data if you were unlucky enough to have this problem.

In a world today of many yearning for movie entertainment where no film work seems to escape from artificial special effects, Director Signore Felini is still hands down, the best special effect in any movie ever made. Direction, par excellence.
The movie in every way is perfection on celluloid acetate motion film. It gives great credence to the format of Black & White, like a few other great films that come through without color, the masterful and artful direction, set designs in the real streets of Rome, lighting and the perfect choice of actors, adds all the color anyone would desire here. The vignette stories within each scene seem to lend intense interest as the viewer will find each scene tied together about life's vicissitudes on a grand and sophisticated scale. One will easily imagine seeing themselves in many of the characters as they appear as from real life experience. The script is nothing short of brilliant. The spoken poetic prose, the phrasing, the philosophies of life in the dialog are to learn from like a great oratorio or entertaining art lecture.
As many have said, those new to it will feel that the movie is not dated but still appears as a new release. A timeless perfection of film work! I have watched old classics on TV since I was a child in the late 1950's; La Dolce Vita is still tied for number one as my best favorite movie pick overall of all time.

Fellini chooses sixties Rome to deliver an incisively hedonistic satire on modern contemporary european culture where degeneracy is fashionable and egomania out rules morality ,it becomes even more powerful as art and A SOCIAL statement when applied to the capital city of a religion that has itself become mostly a caprice , as the opening shot demonstrates in a mockery with two helicopters conveying a plaster statue of christ, being transported over the eclectic mix of ancient and ugly modern architectural design of Rome itself while semi -naked women sunbath on top of skyscrapers .
The main prodigal protagonist involved in this exorcism to retrieve some sense is marcello ,a journalist who leads a vacuous superficial life covering the modern day news coverage as a gossip columnist and converging the freak circus that news media has become itself .
He is belligerently intelligent and realises his redundant role in this lunatic milieu but as the rest of humanity he goes with the flow and the movie encompasses seven days in his frantic but uneventful life which is packed with events and disasters that will be ignored by him for the trivia that he exaggerates to sell his news media and that also echoes the indifference of humanity in general to anything of crucial importance while superficial instant trivia are celebrated in a gala cause .
The women in his life are almost marionettes to him as they serve the purpose of a convenience as sexual objects ,ranging from his frustrated mistress who attempts suicide in a desperate gesture to his indifference and the rather sybaritic socialite heiress he attaches himself to played by Anouk aimee ,who takes him on his wild adventures in her posh sports car .
The main event is his coverage of the arrival of a celebrity american actress visiting Roma played by Anita Ekberg who is the object of his desire and fascination like a sex toy while he interviews her and they mutually abuse and lusciously exploit each other in a degenerate manner , ultimately ending tragically in an icon of frustrated romance in the lush Trevi fountain .
The epic satire is set in spectacular nightclubs ,with gala revues and musical cabarets and aristocratic italian castles where the superficial rich parade in their extravaganza in degenerate profligacy indulging every selfish whim.
But it balances the act with showing the realistic squalor in inner Rome and the exploitation of the vulnerable who survive in despair on the fringes of this extroverted existence .
Marcello is chasing a quest for happiness and love which is impossible to achieve even in an impossible dream like the symbolic sequence portrayed between him and Ekberg in the Trevi fountain which is the epitome of romantic travesty .
Yet the final orgy in a beach house following the sensually intricate yet intellectually provoking ARISTOCRATIC party in a suburban Roman castle shows the reality of a degenerate culture in the most profound cynicism to be ever witnessed in cinema .
The recurrent enchanting musical encores and the Balenciaga wardrobe just goes to provide the metaphorical sallow glamour and beauty which the pallid human spirit has lost in the centre of the great european civilisation and the absolute doom is demonstrated in a horrific sub-plot which covers the tragic, yet perfect life of a rich intellectual played by alan cluny ,who serves fellini as a metaphor for the ultimate fate of a festering and decaying civilisation .
The events are abjure and alternately definitive which are open to vicarious interpretations with mastrioanni delivering an inexhaustibly fascinating act where he is virtually the centre piece in every sequence, though both anouk aimee and anita ekberg lack neither dazzling beauty or emotionally charged exchanges which leave the beholder stunned by their tantalising talent .
This is livid ,angry ,elegiac wistful art which is intensely provoking and yet historically relevant laden with icons like the religious images mingled with sexual orgies and it is a testament to the travesty of modern existence that history will judge in its own time .

From the beginning scene of the helicopter carrying the status of Jesus over Rome (imagine a movie starting this way) to the end, Fellini's expert fingerprints are over the movie. Rome wasn't the decendent glamorous place depicted as in the movie, but Fellini had a image of Rome in his mind, and was able to bring it on screen. This is a movie you can watch over and over again. Even the actor's facial ticks or the sudden angry outburst of a celebrity movie star, scenes that last less than a second, seem to tell a story. A perfect movie from start to finish.

I watched La Dolce Vita the other day (4/5/08) and the message it portrays is just as pertinent in ' 08 as it was in the year it came out --
1961. In fact, not long ago I showed this film to a group of graduate students and they thought it had just come out! "The more things change the more they remain the same."

ICE Denies Jesus Deferred Action! CA Senators Must Help Now! Update: On Wednesday morning, ICE Enforcement and Removal Headquarters in Washington DC declined to grant Jesus deferred action because he was deported in 2008 and returned to the United States. Jesus was deported after living in the United States since he was 4 years old, becoming the first in his family to graduate from high school, never committing a crime, and working to pursue his dream of serving this country as US Marine. The reason? A decade old deportation order issued for his family when Jesus was an 11 year-old child, as the result of a withdrawn asylum application. This does not make him ineligible for deferred action. It is now up to California Senators Feinstein and Boxer to take action and ask ICE to stop Jesus' deportation. This arbitrary past deportation should not destroy this DREAMer and aspiring Marine's life in the United States. As strong supporters of the DREAM Act, it is up to Sens Feinstein and Boxer to stand up for Jesus. TAKE ACTION: Call them now! Call Senator Feinstein - (202) 224-3841 and (415) 393-0707 Call Senator Boxer - (202) 224-3553 and 510-286-8537 Sample Script: "Hi, I'm calling to ask the Senator to take immediate action to stop the deportation of Dreamer Jesus Ruiz Diego (A 072-671-597) and have him released from detention. Jesus has been in the U.S. since he was 4, graduated from high school, has never committed a crime, and qualifies for Deferred Action. ICE's decision not to release him because of his previous deportation is unfair and I want the Senator to take action. Send Jesus home to his family!"
* Required information
To Sen. Feinstein, Sen. Boxer, Rep. Honda, Rep. Lofgren, Sen. Durbin, San Francisco ICE Field Office Director Timothy Aitken, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security, John Morton, and Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano:
I am writing to request that you take immediate action to stop the deportation of Jesus Ruiz Diego (A 072-671-597), and to grant him Deferred Action.
Jesus came to the United States with his family when he was a toddler at the age of four. He attended kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and high school in the United States. Jesus made American friends, spoke English and considered San Jose, California his home his entire life. As the first person in his family and in his neighborhood to graduate from high school, Jesus served as a role model to his community.
After 9/11, Jesus began dreaming of joining the United States military. He graduated in 2004, with the hope of joining the Marines, but learned that he was unable to pursue his dream due to his immigration status. While continuing to dream about joining the Marines one day, Jesus applied for and was accepted to college. However, because he was unable to afford it, Jesus decided to find work to support his younger U.S.-citizen-brother and to be able to later go to college.
In 2008, immigration officers raided Jesus' home in San Jose, California and deported Jesus to Mexico. Jesus later learned that previously in 1998, when he was a boy at the age of eleven, his family had been ordered deported. Ten years later, a grown young man, high school graduate, and young professional, the order of deportation was enforced on Jesus leading to his immediate deportation. For the first time in his life for as long as he could remember, Jesus was living in Mexico, a country that was foreign to him, where he was surrounded by violence, where he didn't comfortably speak the language, and where he knew no one. He quickly made his way back to the United States, the place he had considered his home since the age of four.
On September 18, 2012, Jesus was picked up again, while at work and immediately placed in deportation proceedings. He has been detained at the Yuba County Detention Center for nearly two months and is facing an imminent threat of deportation every day.
President Obama's policy clearly is intended for exemplary young people like Jesus, who have been members of our community since their youth and who enrich and contribute to our lives.
I urge you to release Jesus Ruiz Diego immediately and to grant him Deferred Action under both, Prosecutorial Discretion as well as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.

A beautified lake means better business for echo park. Owners of Masa cafe in echo park, say they're anticipating more business now that the lake has reopened. Owner Rhonda Reynolds says "I think a lot of people enjoying the lake, its hot this summer, so they'll want to come somewhere with air conditioning and have something to eat or drink."
Masa cafe opened 9 years ago and is just a few blocks from the lake. While it didn't see a slump in sales during the renovations, now it's seeing more non-echo park patrons come through their doors.
Reynolds says " this is echo park so it was met with trepidation what are they going to do to the lake but its gorgeous and we are just thrilled."
The lake was closed for 18 months for a 45 million dollar make over. While it was an inconvenience for area residents Council member Mitch O'Farrell says it could have been much worse. "We delivered it on time and under budget so we did pretty well there."
The owner of Origami vinyl says the lake renovations were worth it since its now a bigger attraction. Neil schield says "I think with anything in the city if there's improvement it helps business." And he too says "with the lake opening you just see a lot more people walking around checking things out. A lot of people who aren't from echo park."
Parking is becoming an issue but councilman O'Farrell says they are addressing the issue and can handle the extra visitors.
He also anticipates crime rates to continue to drop as it has been over the past decade since "Criminals like to operate when no one is looking. So get more people on the blvd we have a standard of respect for the neighborhood enjoy what we have and visitors have to live by these same standards."
Besides the paddle boats already out on the
lake, a new cafe is set open there this week.

I have a goal of riding every named Rail-Trail in New York State. There are many more railbeds not used for trains anymore which are also ridable. They are usually unnamed, unsigned, and unpublished. I speculate that this is because the owner is either indifferent or away. I've ridden some of these but I'm more interested in getting the named trails ridden first. I'm uploading them to OpenStreetMap as I go.
I'm starting to tread water. I'm finding new trails almost as fast as I ride the remaining trails. In October, I rode the Walkill Valley Rail Trail's new northern section. They decked the rest of the Rondout bridge and opened up the trail nearly into Kingston. In November, on a freezy day, I rode the D&H branch that went through Lyon Mountain. It's not a named trail, but it's an official snowmobile trail. Middle summer, I rode the Kerhonksen Railtrail between there and Accord. It's part of the O&W's Kingston Branch. Also the Marbletown Rail Trail, which I had ridden most of already, but they extended it to the south.
Rode the Dutchess Rail Trail twice this summer, once end-to-end before they finished the bridge and again after they finished it. Rode the Orange Heritage Trail with Bob McCue walking and showing me things. The big ride, though, was the Genesee Valley Greenway from Nunda to Cuba. That was 79 miles out, and 62 miles back. The difference being fewer side trips coming back. I've now ridden all of the GVG that can be bicycled. Some of it could be walked, but other parts are washed out and walking would be a challenge.

128.62 km 421994.84 feet 79.92 mi 50873.00 seconds 847.88 minutes 14.13 hours 5.66 mi/hr
Nunda to Olean, NY, riding the Genesee Valley Greenway. Very long ride, very rural rail-trail. Probably less rural than the GVG north of Nunda. Apart from Mt. Morris, there are no on-line communities in that direction. In this direction you have Nunda, Portageville (there's a convenience store at the top of the hill), Fillmore has two taverns that serve food plus a convenience store, Houghton is a college town with a supermarket and a Subway, Belfast has at least one convenience store, and then Cuba.
And the southern section differs from the northern section in being split up. North of Mt. Morris the trail is contiguous. South of it, the trail has multiple closures, some seemingly for legal reasons, others because of unrepaired washouts, and others because of missing bridges.
I started my ride by heading up to the north end of the nearby section of trail. It dead-ends at a washout caused by a creek. Riding south from there, there is a fenced-off section between Creek Road and Pentagass Road. Then it picks up and continues to the point where the canal (which has left us) rejoins. It goes into Letchworth Gorge State Park and becomes Letchworth Gorge Trail #7. It curves around, hugging the wall of the gorge until it gets to a portion that has been washed out. There, you have to walk on a hiking trail. It seems like a long distance, but is only half a kilometer.
We're then back on the the GVG, soon to pass underneath the Erie's Portageville Bridge. Then we get to a missing bridge, and exit the railbed for the highway. A couple of blocks through town and we're back on the trail again. This runs to Bailey Road, where they built a bridge with no accommodation for the trail. You can leave the trail to go underneath the bridge, then ride along River Road to the next trail access crossing.
Another 4km of trail and you've gotten to the biggest and baddest washout, where the Genesee River has totally destroyed the railbed by meandering through it. There's nothing until Cemetery Road on the south side of Fillmore. A bridge over a creek is missing, but south of Cemetery Road the trail picks up again for 2km.
You can stay on the rail-trail all the way through Houghton until a missing bridge after the south of town. Then when the trail crosses to the west side of NY-19, it's open again until Caneada where there's a bridge out. The trail picks up again on the east side of NY-19. It crosses NY-19 just after the trail goes over an old highway bridge. It's all trail from there through Oramel to Gleason Hill Road south of Belfast.
Unfortunately, the trail is washed out south of Belfast all the way to Baragon Hill Road in Belfast. There you can pick up the trail for 5km until the village of Black Creek, where you're off the trail on side streets to Cuba, where there is a 1.5 mile stretch recently opened.
The parts that are on trail are pretty and mostly shaded. Some of the off-trail portions are busy roads or hilly roads, alas. Still, I enjoyed riding the GVG. There is now no portion of it that I haven't ridden.

16.69 km 54754.77 feet 10.37 mi 5421.00 seconds 90.35 minutes 1.51 hours 6.89 mi/hr
This is in two parts because I drove from one section to the other. There's a bridge between these two sections which they're currently working on. It looks like it might be the original steel from the railroad, but they have definitely re-done the abutments. It has no deck, so it would have been kinda crazy to cross it.
Both parts are the Marbletown Rail Trail, or the part of it south of High Falls. I've already ridden the section north of High Falls. The trail is fairly well maintained, except where they are currently working on the bridge.

Bicycled the rail trail from Accord to Kerhonksen. It's part of the former New York, Ontario & Western Railroad, now named the Kerhonksen Rail Trail.
Over on Twitter, @RussB (Russ Beattie) and @jzb ( Joe Brockmeier) are promoting the argument that you can tolerate everything but intolerance, and that is the only logical position to take.
No. That is baby thinking. Because intolerance is the combination of 1) disagreement and 2) action. Which part of intolerance is unacceptable? The disagreement part? Let us all hope that tolerant people tolerate disagreement, otherwise the word has no meaning. So is action unacceptable? "It's okay if you disagree with me, but as soon as you do anything about that disagreement, you are wrong and I am right and you must be stopped?"
Sorry, no, that is intolerance.
This is prompted, of course, by Brendan Eich's dismissal from Mozilla. I must of course (unless I want to be intolerated) note that I disagree with him, and that I support gay marriage. But I also support people's freedom to disagree with me and take action on that disagreement.
And (I think this is the crucial point) I support imperfect leaders. If you want to insist that every leader be perfect and without flaw, then you will have only liars and frauds as leaders, because nobody is perfect. I cannot see how having liars and frauds as leaders is a good thing.

Rode a portion of the D&H Saranac Lake branch. Used to go from Plattsburgh to Saranac Lake. You know the long straight road that goes in front of the hospital in Saranac? That's the old railbed. And where it sharply curves to the left and goes up the hill? That's the old road. The railroad continued straight ahead on a cut through the hill.
It was below freezing. I had hoped that the sandy bits would be frozen, but being sand, they don't hold enough water to actually freeze into a solid surface. Fortunately, there wasn't as much sand as I feared.

Bicycled the Walkill Valley Trail northern extension. They bought up the right-of-way, got permission for the parts they didn't own, and decked over the Rosendale Trestle, so now the Walkill Valley Trail extends from practically Kingston down to New Paltz and beyond. GPS track has horrible accuracy, probably due to lots of trees.
I have a goal of riding every named Rail-Trail in New York State. There are many more railbeds not used for trains anymore which are also ridable. They are usually unnamed, unsigned, and unpublished. I speculate that this is because the owner is either indifferent or away. I've ridden some of these but I'm more interested in getting the named trails ridden first. I'm uploading them to OpenStreetMap as I go.
Here are the trails I rode this summer: Stillwater Rail Trail on a chilly end-of-March day. The El Camino Rail Trail, the Heritage Park Rail Trail, the Lehigh Memory Trail, and the Pittsford Rail Trail as part of the Erie Canalwail Trail ride. I hit the Kennedy Rail Trail, NYO&W Liberty and Parksville Rail Trails, the South Cazenovia Rail Trail, the Tarrytown Lakes extension, and walked the White Plains Greenway. Re-rode the Hudson Valley Rail Trail / Walkway Over the Hudson / Dutchess County Trail system (end to end this time), re-rode the Orange Heritage Trailway and the Gorge Trail, and rode a bit on the Walkill Valley Rail Trail.

The Duke Divinity School Women's Center will hold a brown-bag lunch on "Studying Women, Studying Religion" with Elizabeth Clark, John Carlisle Kilgo Professor of Religion and professor of history at Duke University.
Clark, who helped make the male-centered field of "patristics" into a vibrant field of "Christianity in Late Antiquity," continues to support all young scholars in the field while giving particular attention to women and others who have not traditionally been in the majority.
Since she is retiring this spring, the event will be an informal opportunity to hear her reflections on a life spent in the academy and her transformative work in patristics.

We're at a point in the fight against cancer where decades of discoveries are translating into new diagnostic and treatment tools at an accelerated rate. Unfortunately, this comes as agencies that fund cancer research face dire cutbacks.
There's an urgent need to account for the tax dollars that feed our federal budget. Because Congress faces difficult decisions on how to cut that budget, I went to Washington recently to speak to lawmakers about the relationship of the National Institutes of Health to our nation's cancer centers.
It is important to offer tangible proof of the great strides that have been made in treating and curing cancer due to NIH-funded cancer research. I've already seen how budget cuts are slowing the progress toward finding new cancer treatments.
I spoke on behalf of not only the Winship Cancer Institute but the American Association of Cancer Institutes, addressing members of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies. The chairman is Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga. Kingston visited Winship in January 2012 and took away a new understanding of how a cancer research institute serves cancer patients. I urged committee members to visit the centers in their districts to see the outstanding work my colleagues do at their institutions.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is one of the NIH's institutes. NCI awards its designation to cancer centers that demonstrate expertise in laboratory, clinical and behavioral and population-based cancer research. Winship first received NCI designation in 2009, joining a prestigious group of about five dozen cancer centers. Winship is Georgia's only NCI-designated cancer center.
This designation is not about prestige, however. It is about the ability to find better treatments for cancer. That ability hinges to a large degree on funding.
While Congress continues to debate the remainder of the fiscal year 2013 budget, NIH and NCI have prepared for cuts through fiscal year 2021. NIH will suffer a cut of $1.6 billion, of which NCI will lose about $250 million. These cuts could be disastrous in the progress against cancer. Continued progress in cancer research depends on the sustained efforts of highly skilled research teams working at cancer centers supported by NCI. A budget cut will decrease funding to cancer research across the country and impact many of the research teams working on new treatments and cures. Rebuilding such teams, even after a short break in funding, could take years.
This is especially concerning because we have better tools to treat cancer than ever before. We risk driving an entire generation of young cancer physicians and researchers abroad to seek opportunities to practice their craft and advance their careers, or out of the field altogether.
We are on a clear path to dramatic breakthroughs. We have come too far in cancer research progress to lose Congress' full support of NIH and, ultimately, NIH's funding of NCI-designated cancer centers and the National Clinical Trials Network.
Dr. Walter J. Curran Jr. is executive director of the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University and a radiation oncologist.

With all do respect, alzheimers is a disease in more pressing need than cancer reserch. Eli Lilly has a new drug [Slanzemab] in 2nd stage testing , was found to slow the progression of dementia in mild forms, and slows the onset of alzheimers in those with precursors for the dementia.
With FDA approval it would be the biggest money maker to ever hit the market.

Those who want to block scientific research – cancer and otherwise – are cutting their own throats unnecessarily. Yes, we live in an anti-intellectual, poorly educated state that has little appreciation for new knowledge. In fact, Georgians are frequently frightened by new ideas and truths that displace previously held beliefs. But for those of us who appreciate the dedication and hard work of Dr. Curran and his associates, we know there is plenty of money and the "TOO MUCH SPENDING" crowd is part of this misinformed, anti-intellectual, uneducated group. Corporate profits now stand at 14.2 percent, the largest share at any time since 1950, and only 61.7 percent goes to corporate employees, near its lowest since 1966. Corporate earnings have risen at an annualized rate of 20.1 percent since the end of 2008 while personal income has only risen 1.4 percent. A study by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis found that publicly listed companies held an estimated $4.75 trillion in cash in 2012. Cash now represents more than 12 percent of corporate assets. Each year, the government spends 1.3 trillion (2011), 1.1 trillion (2012) and 845 billion (C.B.O. projected 2013) more than is received. The government provides tax breaks worth 1.1 trillion. That is more than the cost of Medicare and Medicaid combined. It is more than Social Security. It tops the defense budget. This budget can easily be balanced without attacking the N.I.H. or the other important programs that produce new knowledge, better healthcare (cancer survivals are markedly improved thanks to this entity), and better quality of life (decreased smoking, control of cholesterol, attention to obesity, medications for hypertension, etc.). Only the truly uninformed would attack such an institution. There is plenty of money and it should be collected and distributed to those who can use it for good rather than another new car and two or three more homes.

Richard Nixon promised his War on Cancer would stop the disease. He also claimed he had a secret plan that would end the Vietnam War in 1968 if only we would elect him. He got what he wanted by lying. We got a disease that didn't go away by throwing money at it and a succession of more needless wars that don't go away by throwing money at them. Seems like we wouldn't keep falling for the same lies but we are a gullible people that like our stories. we never seem to grow up.

KENNEWICK, Wash. -- The Port of Kennewick received two letters today regarding what should be done with the Vista Field Airport.
Letters from the Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce and TRIDEC praised the Port of Kennewick on their efforts on handling the presentation and voiced their opinions on what the future of Vista Field should be.
Both the Chamber of Commerce and TRIDEC recommended the port close Vista Field and re-develop the area.
In the letter from the Chamber of Commerce, it quotes "the Board voted unanimously to recommend that the port of Kennewick close Vista Field Airport and pursue Alternative 2 (redevelopment)."
The letter from TRIDEC stated, "Even though we are mindful of the impacts to existing business, we believe that the "redevelopment" alternative will lead to the creation of a larger number of long-term employment opportunities and taxable private investment than expanding the airport."
A consulting firm hired by the Port of Kennewick has gathered public input on Vista Field and now they are gathering recommendations from stakeholders; and as those stakeholders make their recommendations, it looks like re-developing is the top choice.
The consulting firm came up with three options: shut down the airport, expand it or redevelop the land.
The consulting firm is working to bring a final report before commissioners sometime next month.
