A.J. Long Tells Fizz Syracuse Is Overhauling Recruiting for ACC Competition
The outspoken QB commit believes the Orange staff is targeting a new kind of player for a new league.
Scott Shafer and company have been awfully busy on the recruiting front since the last time The Fizz caught up with 2014 QB commit AJ Long. Most of the names Long has mentioned the past few months have been targeted by the SU coaching staff. As it turns out, those marquee players have jumped on the Orange bandwagon.
Since the end of April, Syracuse has reeled in six more commits to the 2014 recruiting class, with four in the month of June and two in July. The most recent is Long's 4-star WR cousin, KJ Williams, who received an SU offer thanks to Long's persuasion. He told The Fizz that he and KJ one day dreamed of playing college football together. Now, there's a chance to make that dream a reality in the Carrier Dome.
Shafer's mentioned his ideology for the ACC several times: HARD-NOSED. That's been his mindset all summer, really since he's been named the head coach of SU. Whether it's recruiting or putting together training camp depth charts, Shafer is looking for something extra out of his guys. Long believes the staff is doing some real digging when it comes to finding the right players for the new conference. He said it was a "huge relief" for him personally to finally convince Williams to become a part of that:
"They don't have the players they want to play in the ACC. We're the type of kids that they want and fit their system. So it's good to know that he's the first one we get. He's going to help us so much more, [since], as everybody says, he was the most highly recruited person that we've brought in the last couple of years."
KJ's commitment is arguably the biggest get for Syracuse football in over a decade. Ranked 154th overall by Rivals and 23rd best at wide receiver in the country, Williams brings a bright spotlight to SU's class. What should be mentioned is he pledged with a "soft verbal," so there's plenty that can change with Pennsylvania's 2nd best WR. Although he's not as involved as the other commits on social media or vocal when it comes to interviews, Williams has joined the shaping bond between the guys in this class, according to Long. AJ is pumped about the unity and mindset of the guys already, and they've yet to even play a single down to together and sign with Syracuse:
"It's awesome. We talk to each other on a daily basis. Daily might even be short, because we're talking to each other every minute of every day with the group message we have on Facebook. We'll talk about anything from recruiting to anything about everyday life, to who's the best basketball player, to who is the best at video games. You can feel already this class has something special. Not just on the football field, but off the football field. By the way we've talked, I've felt like I've know these guys all my life. It's awesome to see what we're building."
From the forming LB corpse in Colton Moskal and Zaire Franklin, to fresher names such as Jason Cabinda and Rodney Williams, this class, as Long has already said, has something special already. Their constant communication has been constantly discussed, specifically regarding the "Twitter Mafia" Long has engaged. But somewhere down the road, these talks should pay off in training camp or workouts at Manley Fieldhouse, and most importantly, during games at the Dome against ACC powerhouses (like Clemson this coming season).
As Long preached a few months ago, fine-tuning his footwork remains his top priority this summer before his senior stint at Friendship Christian. He's a smaller quarterback, often comparing himself to Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks. Throwing on the run is a skill he's comfortable with, but establishing something in particular could make him great at the college level:
"Right now it's my footwork, and more specifically with my footwork, I have to keep a wide base. When my base is wide I complete my throws 10 out of 10 times. When my base isn't solid I only complete 7 out of 10. That's been the focus of my summer workouts."
So there comes good and bad when throwing without a wide base and Long understands that already, which is a great sign. He threw just one interception last season as a junior, but realizes the competitive nature of the next level will require more of him. Earlier this summer, he participated in the Elite 11 competition in Ohio:
"It was fun to be in. It's a great experience, and a chance not many people get. I'm very thankful for that. The guys I was playing with I've seen since I was a freshman. That camp is a great camp to go to especially for a QB."
Things are only starting for Long. He's had an eventful summer personally with camps and training hard for the coming season. One thing he certainly doesn't mind adding to his busy plate is recruiting, better yet "hard-nosed" recruiting, to make the class of 2014 a class no one will forget.

I knew he was only 5'11" but he sure puts a burden on his shoulder's?I hope Russell Wilson is a good comparison?RW wasn't even recruited as a QB!I think Ish Witter is visiting today!!
A linebacker "corpse," now that's something I'd pay good money to see!
Like his moxy but he needs to be careful with his words. Insinuating that your soon to be teammates aren't good enough or that you're a better player won't be received well. I'm sure that the coaches aren't thrilled to see Long telling people that they don't have the players they want to perform well in the ACC this year or next. True or not, that messes up team chemistry in a major way.
Check out about the 57th minute here. Good old hard nosed coach HCSS!! Do you think they cut him off?? Love this guy!!
Goodmorning guy's;are you all having problems with this website? over the last couple days the featured article space is blank and the old articles listed beneath it are missing. I don't know if I hit the wrong button on my key board to have this happen or the FIZZ is having problems on their end.
Ron its the site again. I hope it gets back to normal and this new method isn't the way for the future!!
The youtube.com site I pasted is for the "first" group of coaches interviews. HCSS is in the next group of interviews. Just look around the site and you'll find it-hopefully-sorry!!
Thanks Terry for letting me know. It's been going on now for a couple of days. I wrote the Fizz and asked DA if there was something we could do at home to fix the problems. He hasn't gotten back to me yet.
Thanks again.
Def like to see an article on offensive line recruiting targets. Seems like that is the one big need for 'Cuse in this class
@russell MacEachern;
Just read that your new AD Julie Hermann announced to the world she's GAY.
Priceless man just priceless. It's seems that the Rutgers Administration has stepped out of the frying pan and into the fire with this hire. Wish them luck,their going to need it.
Just finished reading an article on a Jesuit School(Canisius)in Buffalo trying to build their program into a national program. It's the school Ollison plays for.
Canisius recently welcomed Brad Zaffram from Amherst (N.Y.) Sweet Home, Mitch Thomas from Atlanta, and Tyrone Wheatley from Manlius (N.Y.) Fayetteville-Manlius.
Maybe Coach Shafer and his staff ought to take notice and start going after these kids,"hard",to come to Syracuse.
Russell,we have a coach and program in NY that wants to become a national power. I think it's a little to late,but AMAZING.
Maybe in the couple of years we get to play schools like Don Bosco and Bergen Catholicot of NJ. I would travel to Buffafo or NJ if it did come true.
Terry if all of the good players commit to play at Canisius,and get away from Mr. Williams and the city area,maybe just maybe,things will change and the good NYS players will like what Coach Shafer has to offer and they start coming to Syracuse.
Right on Ron about mr Williams!!
Well guys,some good news today. Syracuse recieved it's 10th commitment in Cornerback Lamar Dawsen.
He chose Syracuse over Cincinnati, Michigan State, Northern Illinois and Toledo among others.
Not bad,not bad at all.
great news Ron!!My computers giving me trouble so be patient!
Ryan Murry is reporting that if 6'0″ 190 lb Lamar Dawson has a successful senior year of ball that his stock is going to rise and he will recieve more interest from BCS schools.
Terry I looked at the national rankings this morning and with this commit, Syracuse has jumped(6 spots)back up to #57.
ESPN- ranks recruiting classes 14′
ACC second best league behind SEC
Fla St 1#
Mia. 7
Clemson. 10
Louisville. 21
NC St. 27
Vetch. 28
Cuse– you have to be kidding!
Shafer was a bad choice and this isn't the Big East anymore!
Cuse17 I've added some comparison to your post. You used ESPN.I'm going to use rivals rankings ok. Compare the difference between the two lists.
Fla St 1# rivals #2 recruits 22
Mia. 7 rivals #3 " 24
Clemson. 10 rivals #10 " 15
NC. 20 rivals #14 " 19
Louisville. 21 rivals #13 " 22
NC St. 27 rivals #17 " 22
Vetch. 28 rivals #31 " 14
BC. 29 rivals #21 " 21
Syracuse rivals #57 " 10
Now,just to let you know I don't believe a damn thing what ESPN has to say about anything. The information provided are very subjective and can be interpreted anyway that makes you happy.
I believe your overlooking the fuzzy math that's being used on these sites and I know your over looking the amount of recruits that these schools have over Syracuse at this moment in time. Let's wait until after NLOI day to see what rthe final rankings is going to be. I'd put money down saying that Alabama will be #1 when all is said and done.
As far as Shaver is concerned,your way off base on this one. He's the right guy for the job. I wish him all the luck in the world for this guy.
So,Fizz Family; I was going to ask this question to all of you lastweek,but because of my response to Cuse17,I'll ask it now.
Because of the numbers of recruits that the ACC schools have over Syracuse,do you think that that's going to help Syracuse in the long run this season or not? Remember we're aftera couple package deals from the state's of Georgia and Florida. They have to be close to their limits of commits already. Do you think Syracuse will get any of recruits that the other schools won't/can't take,because of their class of 2014 is full?
First a ranking of 57th is not a program rebuilding kind of wish. Yes much much better than any dougie/GROB years yet still behind. SU needs 30's to get back to that lofty goal again. You see I'm not saying 20's or 10's either. Any serious SU fan had to know SU would improve slightly this year, but not jump over the moon either on recruiting!! About average class(if they sign and that's not a given either) so far. Where's the OL and TE too!
We should finish 48/52 in recruiting this year guys!Not bad!I'm having computer problems!Be patient!
What a difference a website makes. Scout.com has Syracuse ranked 55th.
We just need a few surprises Ron and maybe 38/42 is possible this year!!…patience Ron my computer keeps crashing?Have to have it looked at!Feel it coming Ron? Opening day!
Russell,I was ready,moments after we kicked West Virginia's a$$ in the Pinstripe Bowl. Can't wait for the 2013 Syracuse Football season to start.
Like I said earlier Russell,I still have hope that we're going to get a few more recruits from NJ to join our Orangemen. I think we have another 15 openings for the class of 2014. Looking for recruits from Florida,Georgia, Illinois,Texas,California,Pennsylvania and Nassau Community College to complete the 2014 roster.
Russell,I apologize to all of you for forgetting about Maryland.
Syracuse is after two recruits(Vashon Tucker,Jamie Herr) out of "Tri State Christian Academy" Elkton MD. All three would be great gets for Coach Shafer.
Syracuse is also after another two recruits(Corey Johnson,Tre Buchanan) out of "Eastern Christian Academy" Elkton MD.
I still believe Russell,the best is still to come for the Syracuse class of 2014.
Jamie Herr is 1 of those OL who waited too long to commit to RU and was offered a gray-shirt but didn't want to wait a year!!He'd be a 3* steal for us!!These kids have to no if u wait too long your scholly might be gone!
@Russell MacEachern;
I believe "Tri State Christian Academy" had a large group of players that participated in one of Syracuse's Football Camps over the summer. I believe Coach Shafer has offered scholarships to players for the 2015 & 2016 classes,from that group.
In the end Russell,Syracuse will land on it's feet and all is going to be good headed into the 2014 football season.
Russell,Isee we lost out on OL Jamie Herr. Scout.com has him committing to West Virginia today.

While in Paris, she began her own photographic studio, often taking over Man Ray's fashion assignments to enable him to concentrate on his painting. In fact, many of the photographs taken during this period and credited to Man Ray were actually taken by Lee. Together they rediscovered the photographic technique of solarisation.

Nutrition researchers continue to discover how antioxidants protect our health. These substances stop, and sometimes even repair, damage to cells that can occur from highly reactive molecules. Called free radicals, these molecules are generated naturally by many life processes (like breathing) and daily exposures (like sunlight). By preventing this damage, scientists say antioxidants can help prevent cancer, heart disease and other health problems, such as age-related eye diseases, for example, macular degeneration.
But these discoveries should not lead us to focus only on famous antioxidants, like vitamins C and E. A new study supports the advice of health organizations, including the American Institute for Cancer Research, that vegetables and fruits are preferable to supplements for harnessing antioxidant power.
More protection from fruits and veggies
In this recent study, participants ate the same basic diet that excluded all vegetables and fruits. One group, however, was also given about six servings of fruits and vegetables a day. A second group received a vitamin and mineral supplement in place of the vegetables and fruits. Before and after the 25-day program, researchers tested the participants for their levels of oxidation damage, as well as antioxidant nutrients and defense systems.
This study indicates that vegetables and fruits provide more antioxidant protection than supplements alone. The group that ate vegetables and fruits showed significantly less oxidation damage than the others. The group that took supplements showed a reduction in oxidation damage, but not as much. Levels of an enzyme system vital for antioxidant defense increased only in the group eating fruits and vegetables. The researchers concluded that vegetables and fruits offer sources of antioxidant protection not available from vitamin and mineral supplements alone.
In an earlier study, participants who had been eating an average of five servings of fruits and vegetables per day over the previous year were put on a diet that maintained their starting weight, but increased fruits and vegetables to a total of ten servings a day. Their antioxidant intake and antioxidant capacity measured by blood tests increased substantially. The researchers believe the increase in antioxidant power probably came from more antioxidants, like beta-carotene, lycopene and vitamin C, as well as more flavonoids and other phytochemicals that act like antioxidants. They also observed that the bodyââ¬â¢s antioxidant capacity seemed to level off at about ten to twelve fruit and vegetable servings a day.
Phytochemicals also important
While research shows that vegetables and fruits are vital sources of antioxidants, the plant-based diet recommended by the American Institute for Cancer Research is the most complete approach to healthy eating. Whole grains, beans and nuts also contain antioxidant vitamins and phytochemicals. Spices and herbs add even more.
It cannot be stressed enough that antioxidants are only part of the health benefits of a plant-based diet. Nonantioxidant properties of phytochemicals are another important part. For example, test tube studies at Cornell University ranked the ability of different vegetables to control the growth of one type of cancer cell. The results differed from the vegetablesââ¬â¢ antioxidant content, probably reflecting the additional anti-cancer effects of phytochemicals.
To obtain phytochemicals ââ¬â hundreds of which are known to exist ââ¬â you need to eat a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans. This is a major reason why supplements canââ¬â¢t supply the benefits of a plant-based diet.
I've always had this question in my mind whether vitamins alone can supplement a healthy lifestyle. Now I understand the power of food.

Yeah - I have found the subject of phytochemicals extremely interesting - they are apparently the parts of food which prevent against cancer, heart disease etc, perhaps to an even greater extent than vitamins and minerals.
However, I don't really see what this has to do with acne! :mrgreen:

The fact that food is a better source for vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants than buying supplements means that we can improve our health or particulary our skin health just through food consumption. This means that we can speed up the time necessary to make our skin heal faster and this includes combatting acne.
I take two multi-vitamin packs a day. Now I know that if I eat 5-10 servings of vegetables and fruit, I would not need to take any mutli-vitamins and I would have more anti-oxidant protection and more vitamins to help my body do what it needs to do..

However, bear in mind that vitamin/mineral supplements may still have a place:
leaching of minerals from soil due to over cultivation may have lead to a decrease in the amount of certain minerals avaliable in food.
certain vitamins are sensitive to storage/heat/processing, and their amounts maydecrease between the time the fruit/vegetable is picked and you buy it at the supermarket.

We can absolutely get nutrients from foods, but we do have to remember that if the soil isn't enriched or lacks certain nutrients, those fruits and vegetables won't have (as much of) it either. Not to mention, if you cook foods (regardless of the method), you deplete (and can alter) certain nutrients. I suppose that's why the raw diet is a big thing. They say that if bugs will eat it, then it's good for us too. I just don't...like bugs ;-)

With its 100th California retail store now being powered by rooftop solar panels, Wal-Mart moves closer to its goal of powering all of its stores with 100 percent renewable energy. In recent years the nation's largest retailer has been echoing its "Save money. Live better." marketing slogan in the way it operates, emerging as a corporate sustainability leader, with plans to make its supply chain greener and investments in solar power and other green solutions that also boost its bottom line.
SolarCity is managing 70 of Wal-Mart's 100 solar installations in California. Through SolarCity, Wal-Mart has generated thousands of jobs. Since it began working with Wal-Mart on solar projects in 2010, the solar installer and power company has generated 3,000 contract construction jobs in California and 1,213 new hires for SolarCity.
Solar power has become appealing to large corporations not only because of its low environmental impact but also because of its ability to drive down operating costs. Last year, Wal-Mart revealed that it saved $1 million on its electricity bills after it installed solar panels at several of its stores.
Yet with its growing sustainability efforts, the company has drawn criticism from those who see its moves as cost-cutting measures first and green decisions second, while environmentalists question whether such a massive corporation can truly be green.
The company also was criticized this year by the nonprofit Institute for Local Self-Reliance, which claimed that the retail giant would take approximately 300 years to reach its ambitious goal of using 100 percent renewable energy. ILSR's "Walmart's Greenwash" report described how the company's sustainability campaign is actually devastating the environment.
On the other hand, the retailer points to its shrinking environmental footprint amid the newest green power installments. On its website, Wal-Mart reports that, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership program, its California and Texas renewable energy projects alone make the company the second-largest purchaser of green power among U.S. retailers.
The company also reports that the solar power efforts in California will have lasting impact, namely providing 10 to 30 percent of each retail facility's electricity needs and generating up to 70 million kilowatt hours of clean, renewable energy per year, or the equivalent of powering over 5,400 homes.
Moreover, the solar installations will help the company avoid producing more than 21,700 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, or the equivalent of taking approximately 4,100 cars off the road. It also reported plans to expand its solar footprint to more than 75 percent of its California stores by the end of next year.
Beyond California, other Wal-Mart stores across the country will see a solar transformation. Earlier this year, the company announced that it will install solar energy systems on 27 Massachusetts stores by 2014.
Wal-Mart's solar power efforts will continue to climb, as the company aims to have 90 megawatts of capacity by the end of this year, which would edge out IKEA and Apple. It also aims for 1,000 solar panels installed by 2020, Bloomberg BusinessWeek recently reported.

In the middle of seed catalog-inspired dreaming last winter, I received an offer for a free trial from the online garden planner, GrowVeg.com. As I started planting cyber broccoli and tomatoes to plan my plot, I noticed an alternative tool on the site for something called "square-foot gardening." My curiosity was piqued.
Two summers ago had been a different story. When I signed up for a 10-by-10-foot plot through the city of Davenport's urban gardening program, I didn't plan how I would use that space. Instead, I stood in front of that borrowed soil with seed packets at my feet and recalled the long rows of my mother's garden. The expansive quiet of summer days spent weeding her garden, though a lovely memory, didn't map well onto the much smaller space in front of me.
Instead, I copied my urban garden neighbors. Like them, I divided my plot into two sets of short rows separated by a narrow, roped path. If I weeded from the path and outer edges, I would be able to squeeze in more rows than my mother could in her large space. This short-row design reaped plenty of rewards, but harvest had me thinking about next time.
This led to my adventure in plotting a garden online. Even though I knew the short-row method had produced good results, on screen those rows felt limiting. The tantalizing prospect of being able to plant more veggies in the same space inspired me to investigate the square-foot garden option.
Mel Bartholomew describes in his book, "Square Foot Gardening," how he drew upon his engineering background 25 years ago to tinker with traditional garden design. In his method, rows are out. The basic building block of a garden is instead a 1-by-1-foot square. Bartholomew found that arranging these blocks in 4-by-4-foot grids allowed him to use small spaces more effectively and efficiently.
In square-foot gardening, you disregard row recommendations and use only the space suggested to separate individual plants. Each 4-by-4-foot area is more occupied by plants than bare soil or mulch. Bartholomew claims closer spacing crowds out weeds and saves water because it is easier to direct it to the plants themselves. Also, Bartholomew's encouragement to plant different varieties of flowers, herbs and vegetables, rather than filling the area with 1-foot squares of the same plant, is supposed to draw beneficial insects and discourage pests.
When I began to fill my grids with a variety of plants in my computer-screen garden, I quickly grasped the appeal. In the spring, I tied together 4-foot-long bamboo stakes to make a visual grid inspired by Bartholomew's lathe models. I planted flowers along one side and a variety of vegetables and herbs —real this time — in the remaining squares. The grids created a satisfying landscaped effect.
As the vegetables and flowers grew into maturity, the contrast of color and texture was an even more happy sight. The garden had an unruly order: zinnias branched over neighboring snapdragons, the few Brussels sprout plants hulked over beet greens and carrot fronds, and more butterflies than I remembered fromthe summer before floated above it all. Visually, square-foot gardening paid off beyond my dreaming. And it certainly provided a bounty of vegetables and flowers to take home, too.
I did find a few drawbacks, though I don't know how much blame goes to the gardening method and how much to the weather's tricks or my own foolishness. A trellis design I used from Bartholomew withstood serious wind in summer storms and resulted in a large crop of speckled cranberry beans, but I would suggest a taller trellis to accommodate the vigorous climb and sprawl of pole beans. Japanese beetles and groundhogs were not confused by the nontraditional garden design and ate their fair share of my plants. Most importantly, there were still weeds to fight, and it was challenging to weed the center squares from the edges. I did happen to plant some colossal vegetables in center squares whose full-grown leaves did shade out much of the weeds. However, those leaves also shaded out some neighboring vegetables, resulting in a somewhat reduced harvest.
As the saying goes, though, live and learn. This year I'll know better what vegetables make good neighbors in the grid. Overall, my experience has me dreaming in squares, and, especially if you have limited space, you ought to consider dreaming in that direction, too.

The state's plan is to re-open all of Rocky Point this fall. It will be a different place than the amusement park that closed in 1995, or the overgrown site of collapsing buildings, debris piles and crumbling parking lots of today.
Other than select elements of the former park, including the arch and the stanchions of the Sky Liner ride, the deteriorating structures will be gone. The former midway will be cleaned up, graded and seeded at a cost of more than $3 million.
As Larry Mouradjian, associate director of Natural Resources at the Department of Environmental Management (DEM) told an audience of planners, educators and citizens on Monday night, the opening will be an opportunity for the public to see what they "invested in" when they approved a bond issue to buy the land in 2010.
What they will find is an empty canvas.
How that canvas is to be filled, what the Rocky Point of the future will incorporate was the theme to Monday's meeting held at Save the Bay offices at Field's Point; and hosted by the Rocky Point Foundation and the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). Borrowing elements from other parks, three recent RISD graduates showed what might be done at Rocky Point; Mayor Scott Avedisian and Governor Lincoln Chafee highlighted their visions; and Elizabeth Mossop, principal with the New Orleans landscape architecture firm, Spackman Mossop Michaels, talked about how park design has changed.
At the initiative of Rocky Point Foundation member George Shuster and RISD professor Scheri Fultineer, RISD has held a series of three lectures, bringing in renowned park planners and architects to speak at public forums.
"It's been exciting to bring people in and look at new ways to connect people with the landscape and the coastline," said Fultineer.
Fultineer said RISD plans to use Rocky Point as a "design studio" and teaching tool for the next couple of years.
Development at the park is not projected to come quickly, nor without community input and discussion.
"We know how important they [parks] are to healthy lifestyles and to community building. We also know that they can be a significant part of economic development, of attracting both investment and new populations," Mossop said in opening remarks.
Mossop touched on the challenge of the maintenance and infrastructure, saying there are a range of strategies to ensure sustainability and she cited the Providence River Hurricane Barrier as being "ahead of its time" and WaterFire Providence as being successful precedents.
Identifying a portion of the park property as a revenue generator, as was done at Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York, to sustain park operations resonated with the audience. In the case of Brooklyn Bridge Park, 9 percent of the land is allocated for a restaurant and housing.
Mossop said Rocky Point "has so many of the ingredients to become another really innovative and successful part of Rhode Island's landscape." She called the park a substantial site with wonderful coastline and access to swimming, accessible by public transportation offering a "diversity of topography and ecological experiences."
Chafee urged support of the $75 million clean water, open space and healthy communities bond issue he has proposed for the November ballot that will include $2.5 million to rebuild the park pier. Ferry service between Colt Park and other locations on the bay is envisioned.
"We can connect some of our jewels," said Chafee.
Mouradjian called the proposed pier "substantial" and the first major development at the park. He said the park is "derelict" of all utilities and that DEM is looking at using composting toilets that have proven successful at other parks.
"It does take money, and to reinvest in utilities is huge," he said.
The plan is to leave the park's former entrance as access for pedestrians, with vehicular access from the park's former exit on Palmer Avenue. Parking would be in the area of where the Palladium is today.
Avedisian sees Rocky Point as a rare opportunity. He said, when the city bought the 41 acres from the Small Business Administration, a mile of shoreline was saved. Now the state land there adds 122 acres on the water.
"We want to get this right," he said. "We now have all the pieces and it's putting them together."
Using examples from other parks, RISD graduates Michelle Jordan, Frederick Meatyard and Andrew Jacobs accentuated elements of Rocky Point and what they might look like if similarly developed.
Lisa Primiano, deputy chief of the DEM, said she had expected a more glitzy presentation and then found herself realizing "what a great piece of property that has all these qualities."
"I thought the students clearly brought Rocky Point's already existing opportunities to light [wetlands, shoreline, forested lands, cultural resources] and it made me realize that we are fortunate to already have these features that many park designers have to "build" into new parks," she said in an email.
Primiano, who shepherded state acquisition of the park and is now looking at its future, found RISD and the Rocky Point Foundation's involvement helpful.
"It was quite impressive how Scheri was able to bring so many talented and experienced LA's [landscape architects] to Rhode Island to share experiences. Reflecting on the presentation last night gave me good reason to believe that DEM and the city's cautious efforts for site remediation and re-development are right on track. I greatly appreciated Elizabeth's [Mossop] real world perspective on how to design and build parks," she said.
So now you know why the GA leadership wants to pay off the Studio 38 bonds....So that they can float more bonds come this fall. Bonds and tax breaks for the old Industrial Trust building, a rumored $100M project, $200M to refurbish the old Narragansett Electric power station, the former would be museum, then the building nobody wanted, but dump it on URI/RIC for a combined nursing building and dorm? Have you been to the Life Span or Care New England websites lately and seen the number of postings for RN jobs? Chafee and his $75M catch all bond...That's about $375M, give or take plus the Governor approving 6% raises for State employees, 2% retroactively, and here in Warwick granting $1,000 stipends to all city employees. I guess Almonte, Block, Sasse, Rosemary Booth Gallogly, Lardaro are all wrong ABOUT THE FINANCIAL CONDITION HERE IN RI AND WARWICK .I GUESS WE ARE AWASH IN MONEY...Beam me up Scottie....
I live near there and walk the path all the time. I'm a frequent critic of municipal government but they certainly got this one right. For now. Going forward, not one shovel should hit the dirt until there is a plan for revenue producing entities to offset the cost, dollar for dollar. This could be a national model, or an absolute albatross. Take it slow.
$2,500,000 for a pier? Seems like a lot. I opposed taxpayer money for the project in the first place as this could have been a valuable piece of tax revenue for a long time. If it was going to go off the tax rolls it should have at least been bought by private backers who then turned it over to the state. Instead of using their own money the RPF convinced the taxpayers it was a great idea. Good for them, their wealthy and paying higher taxes doesn't affect them the way it does so many. But, if you thought the $10,000,000 was the end your naive. It will be at least another $10,000,000 to fix the park. If the state does indeed feel the $75,000,000 open space bond is a worthy project then put it in the budget. Rhode Island must stop borrowing.
If you look back over the last 6-8 years there are 2 things that come from the mayors mouth around every election season. Rocky Point and the Apponaoug thru way project. How long have we been talking about these things? "We want to get this right" well then why did you build a walking path through the park before anything else has been decided there? How is tying the hands of potential businesses that seek the land getting it right? As with most things in this city we do anything we can to appease constituents. This city could use some revenue sources and this park ought to be filled with them. Whether it be a state park where people can bring their campers, to an outdoor music venue where people from all over the state (maybe other states too) come in to town and spend money. My feeling is that the city will botch this, and it will never generate the revenue it should have. People need to think big with this park...not just fishing piers, or a restaurant, or dog park. We need to reverse trend and make Warwick a place people want to visit and actually live. A place with low taxes, good schools, and plenty of things to do for kids and adults. I feel like many other cities across the country would get this right...why do I feel we are not one of them.
Scall If you look back over the last 6-8 years and actually read, and understood what you read, you would have knowledge that there are certain restrictions on the City parcel that prevent commercial development. Furthermore you would also comprehend that this is no longer a City project, it is a state project, and the development is on them, not the City.
As to your ideas - campers?? How original, that will really turn things around and lower the tax revenue, because there is such a lack of campgrounds in New England.
I walk the path everyday and I think its the best project the City has completed in a long-time. Money well spent for once, what a great asset for City residents.
"What a great asset for city residents"
More like a great asset for the wealthy neckers. haha
It's funny you make a joke about the revenue campers would bring...yet you cite the walking path as "the best project the city has completed in a long time" isn't that making my point? Maybe it's time we have some bigger projects. What revenue does the walking path bring in every year? That would be zero. Sure it's nice to have access to the park again, but let's not pretend it was some great idea. The problem with people like you "chowdalady" (more like chowdahead) is that your narrow-mindedness will never allow this city to grow. Rather than use your head for just a few minutes and debate what the parks use should be, you just settle for what your local officials tell you.

That $9.95 Legal Form from the Office Supply Store Could Cost You Thousands!

That $9.95 Legal Form from the Office Supply Store Could Cost You Thousands!
Let me be clear about this. I hope I anger the office supply stores management. I also hope I am so effective that the office supply stores will run out of customers willing to buy those forms.
The only time I would use one is if my lawyer advised me to do so.
So, the family has a real estate/legal issue and Uncle Charlie says. "Go to the office supply store so you can avoid the cost of a lawyer."
Fact: Uncle Charlie is an idiot!
Fact: That $9.95 legal form might cost you thousands in the future. One mistake based on Uncle Charlie's advice could get you sued, result in expensive legal fees many times what a lawyer would have charged to do it right.
Fact: Uncle Charlie will not be there to cover the cost of your bad judgment!
Fact: Did I say Uncle Charlie is an idiot?
Now, if you decide to be an idiot's disciple, don't blame anyone but yourself. If you have a simple real estate transaction, use a lawyer. If you have a moderate to complicated real estate issue, use a real estate, or estate planner attorney.
I am a Realtor� and do not give legal advice. I do say call a lawyer when you have a real estate issue that involves a trust, change in title, wills, exclusions or additions to wills, disclosures or most other legal issues. When Uncle Charlie starts to put his two cents in, give him a six pack and a seat in front of a television. Remember! Uncle Charlie is an idiot!

Hey, I didn't even know Office Supply sold those forms. What I said was, there's a guy on the radio that says you can write your own Will on the Internet.... some law firm set it up so they could focus on filing class action mal-practice suits and go for the really deep pockets. I guess they didn't want to be bothered by guys like you calling up and asking for free legal advice.
Sheesh! Try to help out a relative and ya never hear the end of it!

Where do I enter my password? As an enhancement to our online system, in 2011 the Verizon Foundation began using Single Sign On (SSO) to allow active employees to access the Verizon Foundation matching gifts system directly from the company network without having to provide their Employee Giving ID and password. If you are a retiree or don't otherwise have access to the company network, you can still log in just as you always have with your Employee Giving ID and Password.
What's the difference between the Verizon "Intranet" and "Public Internet"? The method that is used to log you into your Verizon Foundation matching gifts system account will vary depending upon whether you are currently logged into the Verizon Corporate Intranet. If you're currently logged into your computer at work or connected remotely into the company network via a VPN, then you should choose the first option. All others should choose the "Public Internet" option so that we can prompt you for your credentials before sending you into our site.
What's the difference between SSO and "Employee Giving ID?"

Availability drives consumption.
Amazon, a top riser on Best Global Brands 2013, is now shipping wine to New York, Michigan, Arizona and Louisiana, upping its distribution to 20 states and the majority of Americans. This is good news for wine makers, but a cause for concern to wine retailers who may fear obsolescence.
"Disintermediation" is the driver of ecommerce and what keeps traditional retailers up at night. Whole industries have changed as a result of taking steps out of the distribution model. How we acquire and enjoy books, music, movies, even travel, are forever different… and now wine appears to be joining the mix with the biggest e-retailer.
Lowering the cost of goods to consumers is the obvious upside of disintermediation, but an often overlooked result is a change in consumption habits. Make something that is inherently appealing cheaper and easier to get and without fail more will be sold.
The advance of Amazon's wine sales will have at least three profound collateral effects on how consumers engage with the wine category that will impact consumption habits:
These three collateral effects will drive consumption and grow the wine business while also changing how consumers experience the category when they shop. Like iTunes and music, wine is highly fragmented so shopping online will be a great equalizer for small brands "on the shelf," but give disproportionate advantage to brands that have the ability to pay to be featured or promoted.
Based on my recent Amazon Wine experience, it will also impact the design of packaging for wine if/when online becomes a top channel of distribution. The role of the bottle will be minimized and the label will be the single focus, and need to attract attention as a postage stamp in a sea of postage stamps.
Regarding the brick and mortar wine shops, they will feel the impact of Amazon and other e-commerce players eventually, but they still have their place for convenience. They will see reduced traffic and smaller purchases as "stock-up" trips migrate to online sales. But there will always be a need for brick and mortar wine stores until someone figures out a way to download a great Malbec!

Really, whoever came up with the phrase "Easy as pie" should be beaten with a lightly floured rolling pin. Whipping up a flaky yet sturdy crust under less-than-laboratory conditions is practically a lost art, like building the Pyramids with hand tools, or voting.
Not these lovelies. Your daikon-carrot pickles are a simple Vietnamese accent, tangy-sweet and crunchy. They take about 20-30 minutes to make, unless you're hopeless with a knife. If that's so, just stick to your Vlasic Kosher Dills, and count your blessings on your remaining fingers.
Daikon radish and carrot are a tasty combination, and they're pretty to boot. These are the snappish veg slivers you find in a banh mi, the fine Vietnamese submarine sandwich that you can find no closer than Toronto.
But they're good with grilled meats, or even in a salad. They keep in the fridge for a month or more, so there's no panicking to use them up. (Though I will say that jarred daikon does tend to give off a medium reek after a while – they're not rotten, it's just their nature.)
Here's the recipe from Andrea Nguyen's indispensable Vietnamese cookbook, without which I would be hopeless and hungry.
Everyday daikon and carrot pickle
From Andrea Nguyen's "Into the Vietnamese Kitchen"
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into thick matchsticks
1 pound daikon, peeled and cut into thick matchsticks
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons plus 1/2 cup sugar
1-1/4 cups distilled white vinegar
1 cup lukewarm water
Place the matchsticked carrot and daikon in a bowl. (Don't worry if you cut them a little bigger than matchsticks. Look at my ungainly root hunks – they turned out just fine.) Sprinkle with salt and 2 teaspoons sugar, and knead the vegetables firmly for 3 to 5 minutes, squeezing out water. They'll soften and liquid will pool in the bowl. When you're done, you can fold a piece of daikon and it won't snap. The vegetables will lose about a quarter of their volume. Drain.
Combine the remaining sugar, water and vinegar in a bowl. Stir to dissolve sugar. Pour over vegetables. Do not eat for at least one hour. Keeps up to a month in the fridge.

Four Player Co-op 02.27.13: PS4, X-Box, UbiSoft, More
Posted by

on 02.27.2013
What is the best news coming out of the Playstation 4 announcement? What will Microsoft have to do to make up for the Xbox reveal coming up last? Will UbiSoft be successful in mending fences with their PC gaming base? The 411 Staff debates these topics and more in the latest 4PC!
Todd Vote has joined the game.
Dan Watson has joined the game.
Sean Garmer has joined the game.
Robert Cooper has joined the game.
Greetings, and welcome to another edition of Four Player Co-op. Here's how we play our game: I ask them questions, they answer them. We were thinking of expanding the concept to a YouTube webseries, but apparently even the Internet has standards that our players fall pretty far below.
Start the game!
QUESTION ONE: Well, the Playstation 4 has been revealed, not in any physical form, but we got a whole lot of interesting information last Wednesday about what we should be looking forward to in late 2013, when the console is expected to hit shelves. Whether you're interested in potentially picking one up or not, was there anything that caught your eye at the press conference?
Todd Vote
I know that I am just going to come off as being a bit bitter here or whatever, but there really wasn't. I am super happy Sony has nixed the idea of not allowing used games, so it is at least a step in the right direction. Beyond that, I don't particularly care about being able to play my PS4 games on my non-existent Vita. Everything announced was good, but only for those that can afford to have the PS4, and the Vita. Sony had one hell of a press conference, no doubt about that, but I still have yet to see anything to personally get me to the point where I am all "ZOMG I HAS TO HAS THAT!"
Dan Watson
I think just in general the information that was given was more than I expected. I was shocked that we didn't even get a glimpse of the console itself but other than that, this press conference delivered more than most should have expected. They gave us a release window, tossed a few titles our way, and went as far as to display and discuss the controller. The biggest bit of information for me was the ability for the Vita to play PS1-4 titles through a cloud service. Sony, in my opinion, never really supported or gave gamers a reason to purchase their hand-held console. This is about as big of a reason as anyone would need.
Sean Garmer
I did not own a PS3 in this generation of consoles, but after hearing what Sony had in store for the PS4 I am all ears. Sure, I was interested in Deep Down, The Final Fantasy trailer, Knack, The Witness, and Drive Club. However, what caught my eye was all the cool info about what we could potentially do on the PS4. Of course, being able to play digital downloads immediately is pretty awesome.
I think the announcement about being able to demo everything on the PS4 before buying it is not only something the Next Xbox has to have, but also something that changes the way we view games forever if it happens. Players can now only buy what they like and this could open the world of possibilities for original games even more. Uploading gameplay videos with the click of a button is pretty cool as well. If Sony does Gaikai right I think the backwards compatibility with it could actually work.
Robert Cooper
)I didn't actually watch the press conference, but I did take account of the play by play on my Facebook feed. There were a couple of things that I found pretty interesting about the things that they revealed. The thing that I found most comforting was their announcement they will be letting people play used games, so hallelujah on that. I'm also interested that they've changed the controller a little, which is odd for them, because I don't think they've done that before. The share button that they've installed should be something interesting in terms of online playing. Another thing that I found interesting was the fact that the start and select buttons have been merged. Overall, that's pretty much what I've gotten from it, because processing things don't say much to me. But I will say that they do have me interested in purchasing their system.
Sean and Dan get 395 points for talking about the Gaikai tech, which will be cool for all sorts of reasons. Assuming that any of what they said is true and not just "Boy, wouldn't it be cool if we could do this", of course. Also, I want to take this opportunity to be thankful that I already own a Vita. If PS4 games really can be played on it, I'm going to look like a genius instead of the guy who bought a $200 handheld mostly to play one game.
QUESTION TWO: And with one cat out of the bag, the ball is now firmly in Microsoft's court. Man, I am just full of idioms today. Anyway, with Sony getting out of the gate first, clearly Microsoft will need to have some sort of response before the PS4 pulls away in the promotional battle. Two part question, then, when will Microsoft reveal their console, and what will that announcement have to include in order to wrest some momentum back from Sony?
Todd Vote
I'm not sure the time of the next gen announcement is near as important as when the console will release, but I am sure that announcement has to be coming within the next month or two, right? I mean they are not going to sit silently and just let Sony soak up all this praise for the PS4 announcement, are they? I think the main thing Microsoft needs to do to wrestle some of that momentum back from Sony is to have a solid line of exclusives. I know I was on record a few weeks back as not understanding why a games publisher would want to offer console exclusives. But that doesn't mean that the console maker shouldn't be actively pursuing these exclusives to make their console stand out.
Dan Watson
First, I think the most current rumor is that we will have an April announcement from Microsoft. I think this is waiting too long but then again, is anyone purchasing the console based off initial press conferences? One thing that I am interested to see how Microsoft competes with is the playing on the go feature that Nintendo and Sony both now have. Microsoft doesn't have a hand-held console and as far as I know they weren't planning on using a tablet other than with Xbox Glass so then how do they compete with Nintendo's tablet and Sony's Vita to help gamers play on the go?
Sean Garmer
I think the rumors are correct and the GDC event at the end of March will become Next Xbox central. There is way too much information on these new systems for gamers and journalists to process solely at E3. Microsoft needs to get fans excited for the Next Xbox before E3 and then pull out the big guns there like Sony.
The Next Xbox has to allow you to demo anything on XBLA before buying. I think it would behoove Microsoft to allow you to transfer your stuff onto the new system because that is one thing Sony has already said they are not letting you do. I think having a share button similar to Sony's controller would help as well.
Obviously more exclusive games would help people make decisions quicker. However, for me, Microsoft needs to get rid of MS Points completely and PLEASE for the love of everything holy beef up Xbox Live Silver. There is no reason to charge people for using services like Netflix and Hulu Plus, I can use them for free on my Blu-Ray Player. Let people use Apps on Xbox Silver and make Xbox Gold only for playing games online with friends. Maybe give people a sort of PS Plus type system for buying Xbox Live Gold.
Robert Cooper
I think that they'll announce it either at this year or next year's E3, if it's any later, they'll be pretty toast. I just realized over the weekend that I've had my 360 for over seven years, that's pretty fucking insane (excuse my English). I figured that by now, they'd at least have started public talks about a new system. As for what they could do to get attention, maybe some first party releases being announced would be nice, because for the 360, they're all but dead (I vote Mechassault). I also think that maybe a revamp to xbox live, as well as more focus on the social networking aspects of Live would drum up some momentum for them.
Late March or April seems to be the consensus, but I'm shocked that Microsoft is giving Sony this long of a headstart. I would have thought they'd at least have announced the date for their announcement by now. Todd's right, for 1934 points, because it seems like exclusives (or at least timed exclusives) might be taking a bigger role in this generation, especially since Sony spent half their press conference trumpeting "Look at all the developers who are here to say great things about us and the games they will be putting on the PS4!" People weren't expecting that we'd even get games mentioned, so Microsoft really has some pressure to show off some games of their own whenever they announce.
QUESTION THREE: Sure, it's a different take on the same old story, but I just can't help myself: a Connecticut senator has proposed a bill that would ban minors from using light gun peripherals in arcades. Oh, and also called for another study into the effects of violent video games on young people. But it's the "not letting kids use fake plastic guns attached to arcade cabinets" part that I'm choosing to focus on, because, well…oh, I can't have all the fun. You guys react.
Todd Vote
Instead of trying to state why this is a dumb idea, I'll instead just include a couple of links with the question of "What about them?"
kids army
Why are light guns so bad when you have entire stored dedicated to delivering your kid a stock pile of weapons and ammunitions for them to pretend to blow up all of their friends? IDIOTS!
Dan Watson
What makes this great is this comes out just after a few universities have gone on record stating that the shootings in Connecticut as well as in malls were not linked to video games. In fact, let's look at some of the major incidents involving gun violence in just the last few months, you have a ex-LAPD/military member hold LA at bay using weapons (Not related in any way to video games), you have a school shooting (no clear link to video games), mall shooting (No link at all to video games), and all of the daily killings in Chicago (no link at all to video games). Maybe this case has been done so often that this is finally falling on deaf ears and even politicians will stop wasting their time and our money. With video games becoming so popular, everyone can say they have played one but when a majority of the mass violent incidents in this country are caused by middle aged men, I have a hard time allowing anyone to blame video games.
Sean Garmer
So, these arcades are supposed to have security stand in front of the machines that have light guns to check ID's? That's just stupid and a waste of time in itself.
For the millionth time, VIDEO GAMES DO NOT MAKE PEOPLE BE VIOLENT!!! Stop trying to find something else to blame for the parent's irresponsibility and the child's idiocy. Seriously, congress has a budget to attend to, leave video games alone. If parents explain to them that they are playing a game and explain the dangerous of using real guns, the kids will understand. Congress needs to stay out of this.
Robert Cooper
This is complete and total donkey dung. Light guns are awesome, I wish there were more of them in more places. But anyways, I REALLY hate politicians, REALLY!!!!!!! This is dumb, just dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb. Every single politician asshole has tried to make a deal out of violence, and SPOILER we've been killing each other for a really long time, and I don't think A LIGHT GUN would be the triggering aspect for it.
Dan, I did not know that information, and I'd be surprised if many people did. I guess because it's not paranoia-inducing or rabble-rousing, it probably got buried in an end segment, right before the water-skiing squirrel videos. Have 3412 points for attempting to inform the public, doomed to failure though it may be.
QUESTION FOUR: Well, apparently at least one game developer is tired of being compared to Satan, as UbiSoft has actually officially announced that they are looking to repair their relationship with PC gamers, after years where they have been roundly criticized for things like attempting to implement incredibly restrictive DRM that inconvenienced legitimate players more than pirates, their poorly-run Uplay download service, and long delays for their PC ports of existing console games. That's…actually a pretty big hole to dig out of, but then again, they do have Watch_Dogs on their side. What do you think, should we forgive them?
Todd Vote
Sure, why not. I mean, Watch Dogs does look pretty bad ass. Besides that, I am not a PC gamer, so they haven't pissed me off.
Dan Watson
I really don't have a horse in this race. I really am not a PC gamer and there are plenty of other companies that have wronged gamers worse than these offenses. I say forgive them but I was never a victim in this situation.
Sean Garmer
If they really are serious about doing this then why not. I'm not the person to ask this question because I don't play PC games. So, the problem they've had with Ubisoft does not really bug me.
Robert Cooper
I don't plan on it, I've recently discovered the wonders of PC gaming (Skyrim mods!), and stuff like hardcore DRM pisses me off, but what pisses me off even more are ports that take forever ever, ever ever ever to make it to the consoles. One game that looks like a ten ton bucket of win (Watch Dogs) will not be able to get them back into the good graces of many people. I really hated the way they handled the online mode for Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, sorry for the tangent.
Dammit, I knew I should have included Jeremy Thomas in this week's edition. He plays PC games. Well, I know he plays WoW, at least. Coop gets 6267 points for actually answering the question. It's a low bar, but at least somebody cleared it.
BONUS QUESTION: Not a lot else going on, so let's all take a moment and offer some well-wishes to Ask 411's Mathew Sforcina, who's currently sidelined with a shoulder injury, which I assume he got fighting off some deadly form of Australian wildlife. Which would be any of them.
Todd Vote
Get well soon, Mathew. Your Ask 411 columns are a lot of the reasons people visit this site, you do a great job with both the wrestling side and the games side of that thing. The powers that be are very lucky to have you on staff and tackling those two. I've filled in on Ask 411 Games before, it is no easy task sometimes. Get yourself back at 100%.
Dan Watson
I am pretty sure I had read that he tried to get inside the pouch of a kangaroo and failed miserably at it. News from Australia travels slow back to the US so I am still waiting for official confirmation.
Sean Garmer
Hope you feel better Matt, we miss your awesomeness and great writing around here.
Robert Cooper
I don't know how he managed to fend off Australia this long. I know for a fact that Australians are born in the same way turtles are, they have to make their way to the end of the beach, or get eaten by Dingos. I can guarantee you that I would not have survived Australia, mainly for the fact that I scream when I see a granddaddy longleg spider, much less when I see some bird eating spider. GET WELL MAT, and remember that Koalas are bastards and that they only look cute.

The London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony started as a morning commute and ended as an all-out street party, honouring those most important to the Olympic Games: the athletes.
Canadian soccer hero Christine Sinclair represented Team Canada as she and the rest of the nations' flagbearers paraded into Olympic Stadium. Sinclair was the overwhelming favourite to be named flagbearer for the Ceremony, as she led the Canadian women's soccer team to Canada's first traditional team sport medal since 1936. Her total of six goals topped the scoring charts for the Olympic tournament, which included a hat-trick during their semi-final showdown against the United States. That feat remains one of the top stories of the Games, after a heart-breaking loss in extra time sent them to the bronze medal match. The team's ability to bounce back inspired the nation, and Sinclair's dominant performance will surely pave the way for young Canadian soccer players to follow in her footsteps.
Sinclair and the rest of the nations' flagbearers were joined by the Olympic athletes as they streamed into the stadium through the crowds to join the festivities. The athletes joined together to form the Union Flag and enjoy the show.

Minneapolis Auditorium Collection M/A 2000.06.01-05
|Minneapolis Auditorium and Convention Hall.
|Minneapolis Auditorium Collection
|5.0 boxes
|James K. Hosmer Special Collections Library
On June 4, 1927 the newly constructed Minneapolis Auditorium opened its doors at 1403 Stevens Avenue. This project was prompted by the Manufacturers Association of Minneapolis. The auditorium gave the city a significant venue to hold large conventions, both local and national, which would help bolster the Minneapolis and greater Minnesota economy and make the city a major center of industry, business, and commerce, nationally and globally. Since its original incarnation, the auditorium went through a number of changes. The first changes came in the 1960s with the restoration of the original auditorium and the addition of a convention hall, exhibit hall, restaurants, meeting rooms and other facilities, which was completed in 1965. More changes came in the 1980s with the demolition of the old auditorium and the construction of a new auditorium, new convention and meeting rooms, and other facilities. This project was completed in 1991. More recently, a small expansion was added in 2002. Over its history, this center has had everything from sporting events and theater to trade shows and large industrial expositions. Although the original auditorium and name cease to exist, the legacy continues through the current Minneapolis Convention Center, which replaced it.
Description of the Collection
The collection includes clippings on construction of buildings, grand openings, performances, events, tradeshows, expositions, and so on that took place in the facility over its history. It also includes various programs, construction plans, budgets, and so on, from various expansion projects from the early 1920s, 1960s, 1980s-1990s, and 2000s. Also included are three scrapbooks that cover 1923-1929 and 1958-1981.

Initial claims for jobless benefits in Nevada fell 7.8% in February compared with the same month a year ago.
A report Thursday by the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation says 15,993 initial claims for unemployment were filed in February.
State economist Bill Anderson says February marks the 36th time in the past 39 months that initial claims have been lower than the year before.
Initial jobless claims in Nevada peaked in December 2008 at more than 36,000. Anderson says the rate of initial claims remains higher than it was before the recession, but says the rate has been falling for several years and the rate of improvement has accelerated in the past three months.

High Blood Pressure
Frequently Asked Questions
9. Is there any way I can prevent high blood pressure?
You can take steps to prevent high blood pressure by adopting a healthy lifestyle. For example:
- maintain a healthy weight and lose weight if you are overweight or obese
- be physically active for at least 2 and one-half hours a week
- follow a healthy eating plan like DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, fat-free and low-fat milk and milk products, and whole grains, fish, poultry, beans, seeds, and nuts, and choose and prepare foods with less sodium (salt)
- if you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation (no more than one drink a day for women; no more than two drinks a day for men)
- quit smoking, if you smoke
- manage stress.
