Auburn to see second passenger train?
By: Bridget Jones, Journal Staff Writer
Proposition funds could move Donner tracks forward
Local agencies are hoping to enhance one of Auburn's commuting options. The Placer County Transportation Planning Agency along with the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority are hoping to get on the list again for some funds that could bring a second Amtrak passenger train through Auburn. Currently the only roundtrip train leaves Auburn at 6:35 a.m. and returns at 6:30 p.m. on weekdays. "We have been talking about it for some time," said Auburn Councilman Keith Nesbitt, who serves on the board of directors for both agencies. "Right now there is one train that comes in, one that leaves in the morning and one that comes back in the evening, buses and shuttles. The times are such that people are either getting to work too early or too late. There would just be extra trains for people with slightly different schedules and the fact that the ridership – the trains are full." Celia McAdam, executive director of Placer County Transportation Planning Agency, said it's been the department's goal to have four round trips to Auburn "for a very long time," but the challenge is that Union Pacific Railroad owns the tracks, and the company's first line of business is freight. McAdam said decades ago when the line was under Southern Pacific, there were double tracks going over Donner, but when the company started having trouble it shut one of the lines down. Union Pacific is now interested in opening the line again, and has said if the transportation agency helps get federal funding for that project, it would be OK with a second passenger train through Auburn, McAdam said. PCTPA is now looking at applying for $25 million of Proposition 1B trade corridor funds through the California Transportation Commission. The other half of the money for the project would come from Union Pacific, McAdam said. If the funds are secured and the Donner project goes forward, the second train could come to Auburn soon after, McAdam said. "It really depends … we are now looking at those Proposition 1B bonds, and in order to use those you have to be under construction by the end of 2013," McAdam said. "That's a negotiation point, exactly when that might happen, but it could happen fairly quickly once those agreements happen." Nesbitt said the second train is probably about 18 months out and it wouldn't call for any funding from the city of Auburn, unless the police department was asked to monitor the station more or if the city was asked to clean it more. What do commuters think? Grass Valley resident Gary Nodine, who usually commutes to his Sacramento job on the train, said he has been riding the train for 11 years and commuters, who call themselves CC (Capitol Corridor) Riders, have been talking about a second train for about nine of those years. "I think the next growth area is beyond Sacramento," Nodine said. "Out toward obviously Roseville and Rocklin are obviously high growth areas and we move up the hills. There are going to be more and more people who want to commute to Sacramento, or even Rocklin and Roseville, and the Bay Area." Nodine said he considers riding the train a friendly way to travel because fellow riders look out for each other and have their own social network. Grass Valley resident James McCready, a criminal law attorney who commutes to San Francisco on the train every other week, said he thinks the train system is already adequate because commuters can also take Amtrak buses to and from Auburn. "It's a great service I think, but there are buses here that take you to Sacramento," McCready said. McCready said riding the train to the Bay Area does make commuting easier. "It's marvelous," he said. "I wouldn't drive. I would quit before I would drive." Newcastle resident and CC Rider Chuck Robuck said he thinks there are several good reasons to ride the train, including savings on gas and car maintenance, transit subsidies from employers, Amtrak reward points and reduced commute-related stress. Robuck said he thinks a second train would draw more commuters. "I believe that one of the things that has stymied ridership to the foothills is the fact that there is currently only one train per day," Robuck said. "While we can take Amtrak buses at other times, if more trains were available I believe more people would want to take Capitol Corridor. It's a twist on a popular movie theme from a few years ago: 'Provide the service and the riders will come.'" Ruel Abuda, who does business in Auburn, said he thinks a second train would allow for more business in the area and as the amount of people in Auburn grows, the train is necessary. A taxpayer advocate's stance Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association in Sacramento, said he thinks the association would like the idea of a second train compared to California's High Speed Rail project, which he said is "a pipe dream." "These are the kinds of projects that need serious consideration as opposed to the pie-in-the-sky type of mega projects such as the High Speed Rail," Coupal said.

(Glenn James/Getty Images)Chris Kaman, who signed with the Dallas Mavericks this offseason, sprained his lower back at Saturday's team practice and is listed as day-to-day, according to Dwain Price of The Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "Kaman went out with a sprained lower back, but not considered serious ...but it's enough to keep him out of about half the practice this morning," coach Rick Carlisle said.Kaman, 30, signed a one-year deal with the Mavs for $8 million. He is expected to start at center for the team, so the injury is worth keeping an eye on. Kaman has career averages of 11.9 points and 8.3 rebounds and made his only All-Star appearance in 2010. It was his only season in which he played more than 47 games since the 2007-08 season.Despite the injury, Carlisle said that Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion and the injury-plagued Elton Brand and Vince Carter are in "great shape for this time of year."

Adult Education SAT Prep Class starts on Sept. 24
LACONIA — Laconia Adult Education will be offering an SAT (College Board) Preparation Class beginning on Wednesday, September 24 for seven weeks. The SAT Preparation Classes are scheduled to end on Wednesday, November 5, 2014 in time for the SAT Exam that is scheduled to be given on Saturday, November 8.
The SAT Preparation Classes are designed to help students score better on the mathematics, reading comprehension and written essay sections of the SAT Exam. The SAT Exam will test subject areas that students have learned throughout four years of high school. Emphasis will be placed on three segments: reading, writing and arithmetic. A perfect score on the SAT Exam is 2400.
The writing section will be divided between multiple choice questions on grammar and style and an essay students must write on an assigned topic. In the past, the SAT Exam had been strictly multiple choices. The SAT Exam now is becoming a test of critical reading, comprehensive writing and higher mathematics in addition to a test of learned skills that you use to reason. Students will improve problem solving skills involving basic math, Algebra, Algebra II and Geometry. Emphasis will also be placed on helping the student score better on the written essay portion of the exam. The SAT Preparation classes will also help to prepare the students for the different types of questions asked, when to guess at a question, and how to pace oneself so as to not run out of time. Test taking tips will also be given. The skills required by the new SAT are those same skills needed by all high school students today.
For more information or to enroll in the SAT Preparation Class, the student should contact Peggy Selig, Director, Laconia Adult Education at 524-5712.

"Closing the Grand Hotel" exhibit at The Studio
LACONIA — Living in the Lakes Region, many people understand the ritual of "closing up" after the season. On Sunday, September 14 from noon to 4 pm at The Studio, 50 Canal St. in Laconia, the public is invited to the closing reception for Evelyn Lamprey's photography exhibit "Closing the Grand Hotel".
The images capture the opulence of the historic hotel, located on Mackinaw Island in Michigan, and at the same time the poignancy of the end of the season, with a hint of the pedestrian nature of the process - the elastic edge of a contour sheet hanging off a polished table, an employee standing on a chair to cover a painting.
Lamprey's eye is impeccable, and the color and composition of the photographs are enhanced by gold bamboo frames that would be perfectly at home at the Grand Hotel. The exhibit is also extended off the wall by draped furniture in the gallery window and in the shop. One feels immersed in the sense of closure and ending, yet buoyed by the beauty of the photography.
Gallery owner Melissa McCarthy encourages people who attend to interact with the artist to ask questions and make observations. There will be light refreshment, and the shop is open during the event. For more information, call The Studio at 603-455-8008.

"……parents who bear the emotional burden of caring for a disabled child in a world seemingly devoid of answers, just want clarity, and unfortunately the only thing that's clear right now is science does not yet know the absolute cause of autism."
as Suzi Parrasch wrote at the end of a recent Care2.com post, Autism and Vaccines: The Public Debate Rages On (a post in which she kindly cited a recent post I wrote on the discredited "link" between vaccines and autism). While my husband, James Fisher, and I have been able to find a way to help our moderately to severely autistic adolescent son, Charlie, it is the case that much about autism, such as what causes this neurodevelopmental disability, remains yet unknown. And yet, over the course of more than 12 years of raising Charlie, why he is as he is has given way to other concerns, including the need for appropriate schools and services for him, for (when he's an adult) a job and housing. When the "cause question" comes under discussion in our household these days, we're more likely to remind each other to "look in the mirror," and note our families' histories of various "disorders," "conditions," and "differences."
"Do Toxins Cause Autism?," an op-ed by Nicholas Kristof that appeared in the February 24th New York Times, puts the "cause" question at dead center. Kristof's earnestness at inquiring into the potential environmental causes of autism, and specifically about chemicals such as phthalates that an unborn child may be exposed to in the womb, is commendable. However, as scientist (and parent of a child on the autism spectrum), Emily Willingham writes on her blog, we had best exercise some caution when discussing autism and environmental chemicals:
"What we need to be careful about is talking about any links as established before the work has even been done. Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times tries to make this argument, but I'd call it a big fail from the get-go, as the headline itself is a screaming warning of "Do Toxins Cause Autism"? Aren't we just now trying to recover from the leading headlines relating vaccines to autism?
"Kristof states, and he's right, that "these are difficult issues for journalists to write about…Evidence is technical, fragmentary, and conflicting, and there's a danger of sensationalizing risks." It's quite true. The studies of the effects of these compounds in humans are mindboggingly complicated, with endpoints that may be under the influence of a host of confounding factors. And once again, we can't hypothesize an influence of any environmental factor as being an actor in the rise in autism rates unless we've established that the rise is genuinely an autism increase, rather than an increase in diagnostic accuracy. And the jury is still very much out on that, although most evidence points to the latter explanation as valid."
Kristof refers to autism as a "frighteningly common affliction" that is among "development [sic] disorders" that "constitute a huge national health burden." Again, as a parent of an autistic son, I much appreciate Kristof's concerns. However, his alarmist language and his suggestion that taking care of individuals on the autism spectrum is some sort of "burden" for our nation are not "just semantics," but point to some misperceptions about autism and about what life with an autistic individual are like.
Kristof also writes that autism and "other development [sic] disorders" have "proliferate[d]" in recent decades "along with certain cancers in children and adults." This sort of statement suggests that autism is like cancer, that autism is some sort of illness. But as I wrote in a previous discussion about autism and cancer,
"The purpose of comparing the autism rate to that of childhood cancer and other diseases is to convey how pervasive autism has become (or seems to have become). An unfortunate side-effect is that some say that having autism is worse than having cancer. …….
"One argument offered for why "autism is worse than cancer" is that people with autism live a normal life-span, and so have to live with this awful disorder for their whole lives: These notions assume that living with autism is so awful that it's tantamount to a fate worse than death."
Mentioning autism in the same breath as toxins and cancer suggests, by association, that autism is "toxic" and a sickness, and the individuals with autism are "damaged," "sick" and in need of a "cure."
Kristof is not alone in portraying autism as an illness caused by toxins, nor is he alone among journalists in zeroing in on such environmental factors as a cause of autism. He suggests that, as a journalist, it is something of his duty to point out potential environmental threats to our children's health. But focusing only on such factors, on a "cause," diverts attention from the very pressing, urgent needs of individuals on the spectrum and those who are for them, of supports and services and schools, of jobs and housing.
As self-advocate Ari Ne'eman writes in a recent essay on autism advocacy in Disability Studies Quarterly, "the traditional priorities of autism advocacy… focus on eliminating the autism spectrum"—via finding a "cure," for instance—rather than on "pursuing quality of life, communication, and inclusion for all autistic people." We need, Ne'eman argues, to "reset" our priorities, in order to truly supports individuals with autism. Autism is a lifelong disability and what's especially needed are reports not of harried parents desperately seeking a cause, but of the day to day struggles, challenges, and good times (yes, these do occur) that are part of living with and as an individual on the spectrum.

Kristina Chew, Ph.D., Assoc. Professor of Classics at Saint Peter's College in New Jersey. Since 2005, she has been blogging about autism, disabilities, and education, previously at Autism Vox and now at We Go With Him, a daily journal about life with her 12 1/2 year old son. She has recently published essays in Disability Studies Quarterly and in Gravity Pulls You In: Perspectives on Parenting Children on the Autism Spectrum (ed. Kyra Anderson and Vicki Forman).
Not be born on spectrum any longer?? You want a form of genocide? There is nothing wrong with being on spectrum. We are just different, and most of us do not want to be like the "normal" population.
No, autism does not require a cure. Maybe some of your so-called neurotypical behaviours do need a cure though - like the hours of social chatting wasted in offices when work could be done. The mobbing and bullying done by you oh so social creatures.
And from what I noticed, "normal" people cannot survive independently at all. There is all this constant need for company and friends and social events.. ack. Treat them for that and make them self sufficient, will ya?
NO ONE can truly be independent in today's society anyway.
Finding employment is something I worry about a lot for my son, who so thrives on the routine of school and being busy, as you describe your son; I know he'll need something to 'replace' it when he is older.
I'm sure you've already looked into all these, but what are the resources like where you are now, for individuals with disabilities? And apologies if my question seems out of place; I have heard a fair amount of stories like your son's, and know we have to do much much better by individuals on the spectrum.
It doesn't matter to the ones who are living with the spectrum now what caused it. It is how they are, and they need help learning to deal with life as it is for them, not what caused them to be different. Hopefully, research will yield an answer so that people will not be born within the spectrum any longer but, what we really need are more answers about coping with the spectrum in a world that keeps trying to treat those on it as if they are just fine.
My 26 year old son was finally diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 16. Until that time his life was a mystery.
Why was he so incredibly smart? Why couldn't he make a friend? How could he do Algebra problems in his head (in 1 second) or always pick the winner of the Kentucky Derby, but not get through the day without massive blowups?
Putting a name on his issues did not make them any easier to deal with, but at least it validated them. Until then he was labeled spoiled, manic depressive, bipolar, you name it.
Working with an excellent psychiatrist helped our entire family. We learned how to modify our behavior to avoid escalating him when he was angry. We learned how to get his cooperation, so he would do the things we asked him to do.
Still, he is on full disability. He cannot get a job, he dropped out of college, he can't keep a friend. He knows he is different, but he cannot figure out how not to be. He wants desperately to be more like other people, but it's not going to happen.
I don't know why it is called "high functioning" autism: if you have no social skill, you cannot function. He feels as though his life is a living hell, and all the therapy in the world doesn't seem to help. I love him, but he can't accept help from me, or his father, or anyone else.
When somebody comes up with therapy that helps those with autism feel normal, (even if they remain highly unique) it will be a huge breakthrough for them and for their families.
Interesting, thanks...
Nice post Kevin L...
I want to know whose children gets the 'resources"?? Mine sure is not.
While phraseology might not be nice, it is a fact that some of those with autism do consume societies resources in their support and nurturing. In no way would I advocate withholding those resources! But it is a fact and so autism itself, rather than the individuals who have it, is a burden on society. It is also true that autism is not just a "difference" when it means that an individual can not survive independently. And so autism IS a condition requiring a cure. It is also right for some to focus on the search for the causes as long as society makes resources available to treat those affected today. If anyone who concedes that their loved-one has difficulty with every-day life, could give them a 'cure' that made them functionally normal, would they not? We must also try to ensure that future lives are not restricted and so search for the causes.
My prayers for more funding for research.
thanks to Heather A. and very best wishes to your brother and his friends.
Autism is a blessing???

Hemmed in by vine-covered hills and full of greenery, Stuttgart is a haven for its residents, who enjoy a high quality of life. For tourists, its a peaceful city with some fascinating museums.
An arms race has broken out among the two local car companies, with both building new and costly monuments to themselves.
The motor car was first developed by Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz at the end of the 19th century. The impressive new for- 2006 Mercedes-Benz Museum is in the suburb of Bad-Cannstatt; take SBahn 1 to Neckarstadion. For even faster cars, cruise over to the striking new-for- 2009 Porsche Museum; take S-Bahn 6 to Neuwirtshaus, north of the city.
In town and stretching southwest from the Neckar River to the city centre is the Schlossgarten, complete with ponds, swans, street entertainers and modern sculptures. At the southern end, the gardens encompass the sprawling baroque Neues Schloss and the Renaissance Altes Schloss.
Possibly more beautiful than the works within, the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart glows like a radioactive sugarcube at night. Highlights include works by Otto Dix, Dieter Roth and Willi Baumeister.
Stuttgart is a great place to sample Swabian specialities such as Spätzle (homemade noodles) and Maultaschen (a hearty ravioli in broth).
Sells picnic fixin's and has Italian and Swabian restaurants.
Shelter under the arches facing the park or out in the sunshine at this funky cafe that's part of a large gallery. The drinks menu is huge, as are the choices for breakfast. When the weather gets nasty, duck into the groovy upstairs room.
A legendary and tiny pillbox of a bar that pulls a huge crowd of laid-back, genial drinkers. Statuary and stickers abound.
There's a beer garden in the Mittlerer Schlossgarten northeast of the main train station, with beautiful views over the city.
The Porsche Museum is fantastic, well worth a visit if you are a petrol head."

Students who drink more alcohol have lower GPAs, according to a new study. Aside from time spent studying, the most reliable predictor of academic success was alcohol consumption.
Measuring for Success
Researchers surveyed 13.900 incoming college freshmen and discovered that there are activities that can be used to measure future success in school. Time spent partying with alcohol was found to be a factor in significantly decreasing GPA. Even compared to other non-studious activities, like social media usage, drinking was still the bigger factor, which surprised the researchers.
Findings even held up when researchers narrowed their focus onl to elite schools.
Volunteer Work's Positive Effect
The only differences noted by the study occurred when alcohol consumption rates were complemented by positive activities like volunteering. Students who engaged in volunteer work or some other extra-curricular activities didn't appear to have the same negative GPA aspect. This could be because the effects of positive activities instill a greater sense of responsibility towards schoolwork and achievement.
Startling Drop in Study Hours
The study found that on average, college students study just 7.25 hours a week, which is a significant drop from the 1960′s when students spent 24 hours a week on coursework outside of class and even 2005 when 11 hours per week were spent on homework.
What Do You Think?
While social media has been a soft target for those who decry the fall of the American student into mediocrity, could alcohol be the bigger culprit? Let's hear your thoughts on the subject.

So what? They aren't going to get jobs anyway!
Since most college kids do drink, those who don't drink at all might have better grades but would probably not be as well-rounded (and ultimately successful?) as those who drink and socialize responsibly. I think it's true that kids whose parents warned them direly re the dangers of drink are probably more likely to lose control and drink to excess, than ones whose parents taught them to sensibly imbibe.
I was raised in a dry county and consistently warned that alcohol led to instant ruin and degradation (used only by felons, drug addicts, perverts, etc.) -- and I believed it! When I found that this was not the case, I did my best to "get even" and make up for lost time, LOL.... Cheers and Salut!
Yes they do but honestly when have they not?
Yeah, those tests are tough when you have a hangover..
I do think that alcohol can be a major distraction for studying, and that people should only drink in moderation at all stages of their life. Of coarse it's good to have a social life and to take a break, but you don't have to be hammered to have fun. Besides, you can save alot of money not buying alcohol, and that money should go into savings so they can travel, or put it towards accomodation or their schooling. They'd have alot less debt some of them if they put drinking on hold.
I have to agree that my grades dropped as I started partying more. We I went back to school after some time off, I performed much better and I believe that the less alcohol one drinks, the better they will do in school. I also know some straight A students who liked to drink but I believe they could have perfomed even better had they lowered their consumption. I also believe there are many factors at play but alcohol can only hinder ones studies.

Fragmentation issues in Android were a key concern for the Victorian Department of Health when it came to designing its Better Health Channel app; so much so that the department has opted to design a web app for the platform, rather than going native.
The NSW Government has appointed an Australian champion for the technology space in Silicon Valley, US.
Cortado has formed an alliance of printer and networking equipment manufacturers to broaden the number of devices that support its mobile cloud-based printing technology.Inaugural members of the Cloud Printing Alliance include Brother, Dell, Funkwerk, Konica Minolta, Kyocera Mita and OKI, Cortado, subsidiary of ThinPrint AG, announced at CeBIt on Tuesday.
The banter was fast and furious this past weekend as I had the privilege of appearing on the Meet:Mobility podcast, and had a blast talking mobile tech with the hosts.

James, Kevin, and I recorded MobileTechRoundup show #125 the night before the Apple SDK announcement and James was right about some things that I didn't think we would see. WE also chatted about Spb Mobile Shell 2.0, the MoGo Mouse, Kevin's case and Diesel ebooks. Evernote Web beta was discussed a bit and I think the guys will like it even more as the continue to try it out. We also talked about our disappointment with the lack of substantial UMPC/MID news from CeBIT.
Admitting they are unlikely to increase revenues as mobile data usage rises, operators say they need to cut costs by re-using existing base stations for new mobile technologies
New hardware on show at CeBIT in Germany this year includes a Windows version of a low-power laptop and a notebook designed for air travel.
I just recently bought a Fujitsu U810 UMPC to serve as my mobile computing device, but have been seriously looking at the Asus EeePC as another alternative for my daily 2+ hour commuting needs. Engadget has pics of the Asus EeePC 900 that is supposed to be officially announced tomorrow at the CeBIT show in Germany. DailyTech also has a few more details, including a photo of the new model. The Asus EeePC 900 looks very similar to the current EeePC, but has an 8.9 inch display (current model has a 7 inch display) and up to 12GB of internal flash memory. Apparently, this new model may launch at a cost of EUR399 this summer. I'll keep my eye out for the press release that should have more details on the specifications.
In show #94 we chatted a bit about CeBIT and the UMPC devices that were announced at the show in Germany. We gave our thoughts on models we liked and what 2007 may bring for the UMPC. James revealed that he picked up a MacBook Pro as a desktop replacement and he talked about testing out Vista on a Mac. We are all on Twitter and actually took a live Twitter question during the show to comment on in regards to mobile Twitter clients.
The R2H comes with a great bundle of accessories and shows off the Ultra Mobile PC format to good effect. However, it still does nothing that an ultraportable notebook cannot.
Samsung's Q1, the first Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC), lacks the portability of a handheld and falls short of the functionality of a notebook. Unfortunately, it doesn't add anything that would compensate for these failings.

A long delay between announcement and UK availability means that BenQ's P50 connected handheld now looks somewhat long in the tooth. Although it has some good points, many may wish to wait for the recently announced Windows Mobile 5-based P51.
Intel lifted the lid on Microsoft's Origami project on Thursday by showing off three ultramobile PC devices at the CeBit trade show in Hannover, Germany.As expected, one of the UMPCs was manufactured by Samsung Electronics.

Looks to stay balanced in latest stint with Sox
Ryan Lavarnway's ideal approach at the plate doesn't differ greatly from the one he hopes to take in his latest stint with the Red Sox: be patient, stay disciplined and keep a level head.
Having optioned Alfredo Aceves to Triple-A Pawtucket on Wednesday night, the Sox recalled the 25-year-old Lavarnway yesterday for his first major league action of the season. The catcher — who hit .157 with a pair of home runs in 46 games in the majors last year — was batting .310 through 11 games with the PawSox.

A common antidepressant, bupropion, can reduce the craving for methamphetamine, providing the possibility of a drug treatment for the powerfully addictive stimulant, according to a study published this past week.
Dr. Thomas F. Newton, a psychiatrist at the University of California-Los Angeles, who led the study, found that subjects who were given bupropion reported a lesser high after treatment, as well as a less-intense craving after watching a video of actors favorably portraying meth use.
Although the four-week study involved only 20 patients, its results were encouraging ...

From the drawers of the Top Secret Fyles:
When Clarkson high-scoring forward Jamie Lee Rattray won the prestigious Patty Kazmaier Award on Saturday, it was an omen though nobody knew it at that time, except for the Clarkson University womens hockey team.
Rattray, who along with other key seniors became the cornerstones of this hard-working squad, won the greatest individual honor given to a collegiate female hockey player. She was deemed the best player in the land.
Thirty hours later on Sunday, the Golden Knights became the best TEAM in the land, with a 5-4 victory over the University of Minnesota in the NCAA Division I championship game at Hamden, Conn.
The team arrived back in Potsdam on Monday afternoon, with no doubt that NCAA Championship plaque well in hand, to the smiles of coaches, players, students, university administration and the adoring public.
A championship does wonders in the business world of recruiting future hockey stars.
The Golden Knights had done the hard-to-believe, beat Minnesota a school that consistently produces U.S. and Canadian Olympians.
The Golden Gophers, who had entered Sundays game with a sterling 87-1-1 record in its past 89 games, fell victim to a team that had a chance and ran or more precisely, skated to glory.
Clarksons feat made ESPN SportsCenters Top 10 Plays of the Day at No. 9.
Thats pretty good.
This monumental achievement becoming the north countrys first Division I squad to win a national hockey championship became even more spectacular, considering the Golden Knights had lost to Cornell in the ECAC Hockey title game at Potsdam. Thank goodness for NCAA Tournament at-large bids. The committee realized that the Golden Knights deserved a second chance.
Nobody, including myself, gave them a chance against a hotbed of hockey Minnesota, the two-time defending national champ. Shame on me.
The Golden Knights believed in themselves and their abilities, from Rattray all the way down to the last player on the bench.
And thats all it took to bring home a national championship.
n There are reports about the overall health of Yankees shortstop and future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter, who has struggled in spring training. With less than a week to go before the season, Jeter is batting 5-for-44 (.114) in 15 games.
Manager Joe Girardi said hes positive Jeter, who played only 17 games last season, will be able to produce for the Yankees this season.
Jeters speed has slowed and his range has become limited. It would be sad to see Jeter, who turns 40 in June, replaced by Brendan Ryan during the season. The Yankees would be in trouble with Ryan (great fielder, but a terrible hitter).

McSoreley's Ale House has shown some NFL games from time to time, and since they are open for breakfast, lunch and late night it is more likely you can get the timing to work out. I watched the last Super Bowl there while having breakfast.

Breed – German Shepherd Dog
Personality:Smart, confident, courageous, and steady; a true dog lover's dog
Coat & Grooming:The GSD's dense, medium-long coat sheds profusely; keep the brush and lint-roller handy
Energy Level:Very Active; These big guys were born to work; they require regular mental and physical exercise
Originally: Germany
Nicknames: GSD; Alsatian (U.K.)
Size: Large
Generally considered dogdom's finest all-purpose workers, GSDs are large, agile, muscular dogs of noble spirit and high intelligence. For such deep-chested, solid dogs, they move quickly with great nimbleness afoot. The GSD's natural gait is a free-and-easy trot, but when duty calls they can turn it up a notch or two and reach great speeds. Standing as high as 26 inches at the shoulder and built like a brick doghouse, the GSD when viewed in outline presents a picture of smooth, graceful curves rather than angles.
German Shepherd Dogs were developed in the waning years of the 19th century by Captain Max von Stephanitz, a German cavalry officer, through judicious crosses of older farming and herding breeds of Continental Europe. GSDs became popular in the United States in the early 1900s, thanks in part to the adventures of canine movie stars Rin-Tin-Tin and Strongheart. Since then, the GSD's versatility, brains, and steady temperament have made it the preferred breed for police and military K-9 units the world over.
Belgian Tervuren
Belgian Malinois
There are many reasons why GSDs stand in the front rank of canine royalty, but breed experts say their dogs' most important attribute is character: loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to learn and retain commands for an amazing number of specialized jobs, and the willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones. Well-bred GSDs of proper training and socialization will be gentle family pets and steadfast guardians eternally devoted to their human flock. But, says the breed's written standard, there's a "certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships."

The German Shepherd was called the Alsatian during WWI due to anti-German sentiment.
Now, that is one happy greeting.

It's all well and good having a reusable water bottle, but what happens once you've left home and drunk all the contents while out on the road? Do you stay thirsty until you get back to the house? Carry a quiver of bottles? Head to the dark side and buy a single-serve plastic one? Nah, of course not!
Our hands-on research over the years with many miles of travel under our belts has shown you are never more than a few minutes away from a perfect fill-up zone. From soda fountain water dispensing buttons to your local coffee shop, there is no shortage of water to fill up your bottle. We've listed some of our favorite hydration stops here, but we're sure you've got a few of your own to add!
By far our favorite (as it usually means you are on a cool mission) the great outdoors offers numerous water options. From natural springs to melting icicles, if you are lucky enough to get it from the source, take it. Just don't forget to use whichever on-the-go filtration system you have!
They may be in the business of selling coffee and cake, but we've never met a coffee shop that has refused us a reusable bottle refill. Granted, we normally ask once we've ordered something, but this is a golden option, especially when in airports.
Have you ever noticed that little button that says 'water' on the soda fountain machines? If you haven't, check it out next time you pass one and don't forget to fill your bottle up while you are there!
You've probably noticed how much restaurants love giving away silly amounts of water (how many refills can you possibly drink in one sitting?!) but if you are out for the day, don't forget to ask them to fill your own bottle up before you leave. In fact, there are a lot of restaurants that are happy to fill your reusable bottle even if you are not eating there, and there are even apps (www.tapit.com) you can download on your phone that will show you which ones are game.
Way back when the convenience of buying water in little plastic bottles hadn't been invented, people drank from public water fountains. Well, many people still do and it's a great option for filling your bottle, especially with the push by many local authorities to install modern, filtered, touch-of-a-button fountains for free public use. Once again, you can find where the ones near you are with local apps that tie in with GPS.
We hope that with all this in your back pocket, the next time you step out of your house armed with your reusable water bottle you will breathe easy in the knowledge that you won't be far from a hydration station!
What's your go-to fill up option? Let us know what we are missing from our list!
