Earlier in the week, Grangeville whomped Potlatch, but the game of the week came last Saturday, April 30, at the literal last moment of a key game on the Lumberjacks' field.
County objects to SF river mining regs
Decision on hold to review objections
Idaho County joined Mike Edmondson of Elk City in objecting to a Forest Service proposal that would streamline suction dredging regulations, and the county filed an objection of its own in mid-April.
Brink blasts Bulldogs out of league title contention
Kolby Brink crushed Grangeville's Central Idaho League baseball title hopes into the bleachers in left center field, breaking both a 4-4 tie and a bit of the Bulldogs' fighting spirit in one fell swing.
Uncertainty still surrounds Seven Devils liquor license
Mike Blimka has enlisted a different lawyer to help him resolve the fate of the Seven Devils Bar liquor license.

'One more layer of federal bureaucracy is not what we need'
260 miles of Salmon River face new regulations under old law
Under an old law, Salmon River users – including mining and agricultural interests – will soon have to contend with a permitting process they haven't faced before.
Grangeville holds home meet
Restored track proved fast for some runners
If you look at the season Trey Pfefferkorn has had in the 100-meter dash, his run at the GHS track last Tuesday, April 19, stands out. He was clocked at 11.37, which converts to 11.64 — which ranks among the Top 10 1A performances on the list kept by athletic.net.
Moisture loosens boulders at slide
SH 14 closed overnight
About an inch and a quarter of rain last Friday made for one of the most active days the slide area has seen since 100,000 cubic yards came down in February. The South Fork Clearwater River – into which more than 260 square miles of countryside drains – nearly doubled its flow as all the runoff came down. In the area destabilized by February's massive landslide, the sudden rush of moisture loosened boulders as large as 10 feet in diameter, which fell and blocked the narrow path through the slide area.
Brown Signs
Grangeville track and field standout Madison Brown signed last Thursday, April 14, to join the Weber State track and field to compete in her favorite event: the triple jump.

Maniacs defend home field, 6-3
Grangeville has ambitions of winning the Central Idaho League — or at least qualifying for the state tournament out of second place — but will have to crack Orofino when the Maniacs visit May 3.
Crowding The Shore
The 32nd Annual Salmon River Jet Boat Races once again thrilled a large crowd that packed the shores in and around Riggins last weekend. With the Salmon River running high, some rapids appeared less imposing than usual – but the white water immediately upstream of the Time Zone Bridge sent boats frequently on end or aloft. Pictured are some of the approximately 1,500 who lined the area immediately south of Time Zone on Saturday afternoon, April 16.

Salmon River sets new daily discharge record
Every April 14 for 102 years, the White Bird streamgage topped out well below 30,000 cfs, but this morning, the reading topped a 74-year old daily record -- and the river continues to rise.
Ownership scandal threatens to make Riggins a two-bar town; hearing today
Seven Devils liquor license pulled; Belton seeks solution in time to serve race-day crowds
Depending how things go at a hearing today in Meridian, last month may prove the last of the good ol' days, back when this town of 400 boasted three different places to buy liquor by the drink. Late last month, Idaho State Police rocked the Riggins bar scene, shutting down liquor sales out of the Seven Devils Steakhouse and Saloon and stopping the Salmon River Inn from moving its liquor sales to a back room at Summerville's. Seven Devils operator John Belton has kept the restaurant open but stopped selling alcohol after the Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) authorities delivered an order to cease and desist amid an ownership scandal.
Big impression with Little interview
During his Thursday stop in Grangeville, Lt. Governor Brad Little sat for an hour-and-a-half interview with the Idaho County Free Press. I asked the best questions I could think of, and I listened as intently as I could. These are my impressions....

Wolves roamed half of Idaho in 2014
Wolves used about half of Idaho's total land area in 2014, according to Idaho's year-end wolf monitoring report, which pegged the 2015 official total at 786 in 108 documented packs inside the state. Biologists also documented border packs – 20 of them – that overlapped the state boundary.
Private ground timber harvest came in nine percent lower than 2014
About five percent less timber was harvested in Idaho last year than in 2014 – an amount still about 40 percent more than was harvested during the recession-driven low of 2009. That's according to the 2016 Idaho Forest Products Industry current conditions and forecast report, which noted the harvest from private ground came in nine percent lower than 2014.
IRU wins road permit, salvage logging case
Federal district court ruled Moose Creek District Ranger Joe Hudson erred
When it comes to roads in the Wild and Scenic Selway River drainage, the Forest Service can't just give the State of Idaho permission to run a thousand log trucks to and from state ground. The Forest Service has to consider environmental laws before issuing a permit, including the 1968 Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
Delay would push J-Bar salvage to brink, county says
'Any further delay will compromise the quality of the available wood and result in economic losses to the local communities'
Friends of the Clearwater and Idaho Rivers United are suing the Forest Service over federal salvage logging near Lowell, in the area scorched by the Johnson Bar Fire nearly two years ago, and the Idaho County Commission is chiming in.

More than 200 finish area hunter ed courses
"It's a huge undertaking for the kids and the instructors alike," Idaho Department of Fish and Game district conservation officer George Fischer said Monday, March 28, looking back at the hunter education programs that IDFG has helped put on across the area this year. "It's two hours after school in the evenings. Ages go from nine to 60 — I think we had a student in their 70s this year."
Storm stops meet at CV
Grangeville's tennis squad followed up a strong outing March 17 at Orofino with a good showing in limited action last week at Clearwater Valley. The Bulldogs were rained out of a March 21 visit to Lewiston and were all but rained out against the Rams, when wet weather slickened the courts at CVHS and put a stop to four matches that were in progress early Thursday evening.
Bulldogs break through before spring break
Grangeville headed to spring break on a bit of a high note, notching the first win of the spring 9-3 during the second half of the set last Friday, March 25. Layton Harris relieved Shane Wood in the fourth inning of the opener, which GHS dropped 11-9 despite a late rally.

Grangeville's baseball season opener was bumped from March 12 to last Friday, March 18, by wet weather and the Bulldogs' game showed a bit of rust.
Commission leans toward Adams County landfill, pushes for central setup
'our fee structure is disconnected from actual use'
A plan to put a regional landfill at the Kaschmitter Rock Pit east of town was buried by a backlash five years ago, and a fresh talk of a regional landfill had some locals wondering late last month whether Idaho County Commissioner Skip Brandt has been digging in the same old dirt. But it's not the same. Five counties – Adams, Clearwater, Idaho, Lewis and Valley – are considering new digs for a regional landfill near Council, and Brandt has been Idaho County's point-man for the joint powers agreement that would be needed for the counties to start formal talks with each other.

Suction dredging bill stalls
Each of the last three sessions at the state legislature, suction dredge miners have pushed for legislation to roll back state and federal regulation of their practice. With a voice vote last Tuesday, Feb. 23, the House Natural Resources Committee opted not to advance the dredgers' latest proposal.
Utah group tells state legislature federal land weakens Idaho
Attorney George Wentz on Monday told the Idaho legislature that federal ownership makes states weaker than states that have little federal land – and that the constitution does not allow the federal government to make any state weaker than the others. "Is Idaho weaker than New York because Idaho doesn't have dominion over all its land? Actually, it is," Wentz said.

Cameras give justice necessary speed
No one ever wants to see a law enforcement officer kill anyone, and bringing a firearm to bear is rarely necessary even in that dangerous line of work. Whenever it is necessary for an officer to draw down on a human being, there must be quick, clear accountability. Every. Single. Time.

Three people rushed to help the woman when her electric

Passerby Matthieu Mereau and two women desperately pulled the

Mr Mereau said they tried to move the woman but there was
nothing they could do until the very, very last second when
the train was almost upon them.
The woman had a screen and a keypad on her lap and looked
like she was strapped in.
"I didn't know if I had time to undo clips or anything ... It
was the whole chair or nothing ... literally the train was
coming round the corner," the 24-year-old told the Herald.
The wheelchair was jammed in the tracks, so all he and the
jogger could do was push it over.
All three collapsed backwards as the train roared by. The
woman was dragged by her wheelchair - which had been hit by
the train - along the concrete, while the one of the women

Both excess weight and hypertension may contribute independently to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Weight and blood pressure have been found to be associated in most studies in diverse populations. The increase or decrease of blood pressure with weight gain or loss suggests a causal relation, although the mechanism is uncertain. A correlation between blood pressure and weight can be identified early in life. This correlation coefficient increases to approximately 0.4 in young adults and then begins to decrease at older ages. It is likely that weight interacts with various factors controlling blood pressure at different points over a lifetime. The implications for prognosis or control of blood pressure at different ages may vary as well. Attention to minimizing weight gain at a particular period of life, such as in young adulthood, might have long-term beneficial effects in preventing subsequent hypertension or excess blood pressure increase with aging.

When Anne Elliot turned down Captain Wentworth's proposal of marriage, she allowed herself to be persuaded by her snobbish family's conviction of his unworthiness. But now, after a separation of eight years, Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth are to meet again and the tables have turned. Her former lover's fortunes have prospered and he is now returned from a career at sea both eligible and affluent. Anne's father, Sir Walter Elliot of Kellynch Hall, has been forced to lease their home and move the family into a rather small abode in Bath. Just as Anne now recognizes the false values that persuaded her to reject Captain Wentworth, so she must accept that his heart now seems set upon the youth and beauty of the impetuous Louisa Musgrove.

Off the Cuff
|Photos by Larry Hirschowitz
Waraire Boswell has had an affinity for fine clothing since his teenage years, though he spent more time thinking about babes and basketball than the manufacturing process of a French cuff. Born and raised in Altadena, Boswell bounced from African-history studies he planned on being a teacher to trying his hand in the music and entertainment industries. But regardless of where he was employed, he faced the same dilemma locating clothes to fit his lean 6-foot-7 frame. Either the length was too short or an XXL shirt was long enough but fit boxy.
At the suggestion of his girlfriend at the time, Boswell decided to create the apparel he couldnt find. While hed never been behind a sewing machine and had no idea where to begin with a pattern, he did know one thing: Less supply means more demand. That simple fact, combined with a strong personal sense of style, fueled his foray into fashion.
"I just started making stuff for myself," he says. "We live in a world of professionals. There are patternmakers who are professionals I outsource that. But with designing, once I started to put my mind to it, it was a domino effect." Soon the first two pairs of wool slacks he conceived developed into his debut line.
Now two years and countless lessons of trial and error later, Boswell has refined the focus of his collection. He still produces garments for the high pockets, but his signature line also includes designs for those more moderate in height. Denim jeans and jackets are constructed with patterned fabric thats exposed when cuffed or rolled up, so that 5-foot-5 and 6-foot-5 customers can shop side by side. He addresses what guys really need outside the realm of street- and sportswear, with clothes that have the assured elegance of made-to-measure classics while at the same time reflecting a contemporary edge. These are threads for the new gentleman.

Boswells standout items are his suits and oxford shirts. The suits are professionally tailored with immaculate cuts and a touch of whimsy: a terrier logo embellished on the back jacket panel, the words gauche and droite stitched over the pockets of the slacks. His patterned button-downs are reinterpretations of the traditional dress shirt. Pinstripes get punched up with a subtle touch of gingham beneath the collar; plaids have barely visible iconography such as a pointing index finger or a hand-stitched slogan such as "Preter Attention au Detail."

Xstrata Strikes Aussie Coal Deal With Japan
Mining giant Xstrata has settled a contract with Japan's Tohoku Electric Power Co. for annual supply of Australian thermal coal starting April 1, an agreement that sets a pricing benchmark for other Asian utilities to follow.
Three traders said the contract was settled at US$115.25 a metric ton of thermal coal, representing a 11.2% fall on the settlement price of US$129.85/ton a year earlier.
A Sydney-based spokeswoman for Xstrata confirmed the contract with Tohoku has been settled, but declined to specify the price.
The news is significant as Sunday marks the start of the Japanese fiscal year, and electricity generators traditionally lock in supply to meet much of the annual demand at that time rather than risk exposure to volatility in prices later.
The on-year decline in the settlement price reflects an easing of supply constraints as most of Australia's biggest thermal coal mines are again operating at or close to full capacity after recovering from flooding during the Southern Hemisphere summer last year when heavy rains fell across Queensland and New South Wales state.
Xstrata is the world's largest thermal coal exporter by volume, and owns several large mines in Australia including Newlands and Rolleston in Queensland and Mangoola in New South Wales, which opened last year.
At the same time, the outlook for Asian demand for coal is weakening, with survey data in China pointing to a slowdown in manufacturing.
China overtook Japan to be the world's largest importer of coal by volume last year.

Celiac Disease - Prevention
Celiac disease can't be prevented.
If you already have celiac disease, you can prevent symptoms-and damage to your small intestine-by eating a gluten-free diet.
Some adults with celiac disease have a poorly functioning or nonfunctional spleen, which is a risk factor for developing a pneumococcal infection. For this reason, your doctor may recommend that you get immunized with the pneumococcal vaccine.

Create a bright and happy bedroom for the young man in your life. Find inspiring decor and boy's bedroom ideas from some of our favorite spaces that are all boy.
Searching for a kid-friendly color scheme? Look no further than their artwork! Inspiration for this boy's room came from the dynamic painting hanging on the wall. Blue walls look great contrasted with a vibrant orange bookshelf and throw blanket, and a few splashes of lime make for a fun color scheme.
See how simple decorating ideas bring personality to this room and how you can do the same in your little guy's room.
A nature-inspired bedroom is great for any little boy with a love for the outdoors. To emphasize the tall ceiling, just the tops of the trees poke out above the sunny orange and celery-green paint below. A mix of wood finishes on the trim and dresser emphasizes the woodsy feeling.
There's something about stripes that just seems to scream "boy's room." This room goes all out with stripes of different sizes and colors, but the underlying scheme of blue and off-white ties the whole space together.
White walls look anything but boring when paired with a bold patterned bedspread and bright accessories. Sunny orange, bright blue, and lime green accents create a lively color scheme. Crisp white bedroom walls set a neutral backdrop that will pair perfectly with any decorating style as tastes change.
Wondering what to do when your little one adores flying? Instead of embracing an all-out aviation theme, use neutral colors and furniture to create a sophisticated space and add fun airplane-theme accessories. A large model airplane hanging above the bed and some adorable airplane throw pillows embrace his love of flying, but the items can be easily replaced as his interests change.
A cool metal bunk bed fits perfectly between two walls of shelves in this energetic boys' room. Other metal accents, such as a rolling bookshelf and an industrial-style curtain rod above the window, look modern and masculine. The shelf-lined walls are perfect for displaying trophies, photos, and sports memorabilia.
Consider defining an oddly shaped room with a high-contrast paint job. Painting lower walls a bold shade of green while keeping angled walls white makes this attic bedroom look larger than it is. The classic green-white-blue color combo is easy to coordinate with bedding and accessories.
While shared spaces are fun, it's important to choose a theme that everyone likes. The neutral color scheme in this room allows for endless possibilities in wall hangings and accessories. The sturdy wooden beds can last well into these brothers' teen years
Teach your little one the ins and outs of organization with clearly labeled buckets, drawers, and shelves. What was once a large office desk has become home to this little boy's storage unit for his countless toys, books, and games. With clearly defined places for everything, your little boy will be more likely to want to clean up on his own after playtime.
Though many people don't think of blue as a neutral, it really is one of those colors that goes with just about everything. Soft blue walls blend effortlessly with a variety of patterns and textures in this baby boy's nursery. Plus these soothing shades of blue will have true staying power as he grows.

The autonomy of functional biology: a reply to Rosenberg

Rosenberg has recently argued that explanations supplied by (what he calls) "functional biology" are mere promissory notes for macromolecular adaptive explanations. Rosenberg's arguments currently constitute one of the most substantial challenges to the autonomy, irreducibility, and indispensability of the explanations supplied by functional biology. My responses to Rosenberg's arguments will generate a novel account of the autonomy of functional biology. This account will turn on the relations between counterfactuals, scientific explanations, and natural laws. Crucially, in their treatment of the laws' relation to counterfactuals, Rosenberg's arguments beg the question against the autonomy of functional biology. This relation is considerably more subtle than is suggested by familiar slogans such as "Laws support counterfactuals; accidents don't."

Burnett's Tuning Out the Noise
Embattled A.J. Is Keeping His Own Counsel—With the Exception of Larry Rothschild
A.J. Burnett was sweaty. As he stood at his locker in his Yankee uniform, the beads of perspiration ran along the tattoos on his arms, and he liked it. It meant Mr. Burnett had finally gotten back on a mound and pitched, a moment he has waited for all winter. A chance to wipe the bad taste of 2010, with his 5.26 ERA, and his 15 losses, out of his mouth for good.
"You get anxious, especially after last year," Mr. Burnett said. "You want to come in and be ready to go. That was my first time off the mound, and it went smooth—I liked it. I had a good time. And that's what it's going to be. It's all about having a good time. Putting last year away, starting fresh and being me."
It's a moment he has thirsted for, really, since the plane ride home after last season, which ended ingloriously at the hands of the Texas Rangers with Mr. Burnett bounced from the playoff rotation.
As Mr. Burnett sat with his long frame crammed into the airplane seat, he thought back over all that went wrong last season and realized that hitters didn't fear him anymore.
He would take the mound for games last season confident and prepared. Then something would go wrong. He would start to doubt. And hitters could see it, Mr. Burnett knew. At times, he said he barely recognized the person on the mound.
"What am I doing? Who is this guy?" Mr. Burnett said he asked himself. "I'm a force out there. Guys don't want to face me."
But as he soon realized, no one feared facing him. He wasn't the force he used to be.
"And I just felt like they didn't care if they faced me. So I think I gave them that edge. In general, not being who I was," Mr. Burnett said.
Now Mr. Burnett wants that edge back. He is working with new pitching coach Larry Rothschild to simplify his approach, but beyond that, he's keeping his own counsel. When he struggled through June of 2010, he accepted help from everywhere, and any advice seemed like the right advice. Other pitchers would tell him to tweak something, make a small change or alter his routine. And, reeling and uncertain, Mr. Burnett would listen.
"I'm not gonna lie, you listen to a lot of people, and maybe I shouldn't have," the pitcher said. "You've got guys in here that want to help you, guys in here who have been in the big leagues. If I had to do it all over again, I would have been left alone, but you have a month like that, you start taking advice. So I did."
Not this year. Mr. Burnett is keeping his own counsel—with one exception.
The one man he's taking advice from is Mr. Rothschild. The two met at Mr. Burnett's Maryland home last month and talked for five or six hours, just chatting. They have worked together the past few mornings. Mr. Rothschild has given the pitcher new types of non-throwing drills to practice, intended to build muscle memory before each start.
"This isn't, by any stretch of the imagination, rebuilding anything," Mr. Rothschild said. "This guy's had success at a pretty good level in the major leagues. We're not trying to rebuild anything."
Mechanically, Mr. Rothschild wants to prevent Mr. Burnett's body from coming open too early in his delivery, "swinging like a gate," as Mr. Burnett puts it. Mentally, Mr. Rothschild feels that once the pitcher makes a few minor adjustments, and sees his delivery become consistent, the swagger will return.
"I think he'll get the confidence and the demeanor that he should have, and get ready to face some hitters in the game," Mr. Rothschild said.
The Yankees are counting on that. Mr. Burnett was handed a five year, $82.5 million contract before the 2009 season, and his performance will largely determine whether the Yankee rotation is good enough, or whether general manager Brian Cashman needs to deal prospects to bring in pitching help right away. Mr. Cashman has faith that his pitcher will return to form.
"I believe it," Mr. Cashman said. "I certainly hope it, believe it. He's had a history of some really high times, when he's been extremely good, and then there's been some times that he hasn't performed up to his abilities. Whenever he's had some dips, he's always bounced back."
As a former catcher, Yankee manager Joe Girardi has seen his fair share of pitchers go through tough seasons, going up and down and sometimes not coming up again.
"I think sometimes we forget about the fine line that a pitcher walks. It's a real fine line that they walk on a daily basis," Mr. Girardi said.
Whether it's mental or physical—and for the record, Mr. Girardi thinks it's both—the Yankee manager thinks his pitcher will bounce back, out of a feeling of responsibility as much as anything else.
"This guy is talented. And this guy really cares and has a passion for this team and helping this team," Mr. Girardi said.
For the rest of this spring, and certainly in April, Mr. Burnett will be under a microscope—something he understands and accepts. He earned that with his performance. But don't write his obituary yet, Mr. Burnett insisted.
"I don't think I need to be fixed. I just think I had a really bad year last year," Mr. Burnett said.

Hmm, the choice of weapons does definately scream Dante, but the background and the black clothing makes me lean a little towards Hugh Jackman 'Van Helsing' as well. I suppose the difference boils down to what she's shooting at: Vampires or demons?
My mind just screams: sexy Dante. XD it's great and I love it!
Gorgeous. Wonderful work as always.

Looks great. Nice to see you do a little more in the background side of things. Keep it up.
It does remind me of a female version of Dante from Devil May Cry (the original series of course, not the new wannabe).

The purpose of this study is to understand how microblogging communications change and contribute to collective sense-making over time during a crisis. Using B. Dervin's (1983) theory of sense-making applied to crises and communications during crises, we examined 7,184 microblogging communications sent in response to three violent crises that occurred on U.S. college campuses. The analysis of patterns of microblogging communications found that information-sharing behaviors dominated the early response phase of violent crises, and opinion sharing increased over time, peaking in the recovery phase of the crises. The analysis of individual microblogging communications identified various themes in the conversation threads that not only helped individual contributors make sense of the situation but also helped others who followed the conversation. The results of this study show that microblogging can play a vital role in collective sense-making during crises.

Khloe Kardashian in Rag & Bone
Khloe Kardashian emerged from the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" studios in a Kardashian Kollection sequined jacket, a pair of Rag & Bone The Leggings in Midnight, Christian Louboutin studded booties and her bright yellow Hermes Birkin after a guest appearance on the show.
I actually really love this outfit on Khloe! I'm usually not a fan of all black ensembles because you can't really see any detail and I find all black too heavy, but this works. I also like the pop of colour her yellow Birkin gives. How many of you plan on wearing anything from the Kardashian Kollection? Some of the stuff looks quite nice and it seems affordable!

A midwife's memoir of living free and naturally against all odds
In her first, highly praised memoir, Patricia Harman told us the stories patients brought into her exam room, and her own story of struggling to help women as a nurse-midwife in medical practice with her husband, an OB/GYN, in Appalachia. In this new book, Patsy reaches back to tell us how she first learned to deliver babies, and digs even deeper down to tell us of her youthful experiments with living a fully sustainable and natural life.
Drawing heavily on her journals, Arms Wide Open goes back to a time of counter-culture idealism that the boomer generation remembers well. Patsy opens with stories of living in the wilds of Minnesota in a log cabin she and her lover build with their own hands, the only running water being the nearby streams. They set up beehives and give chase to a bear competing for the honey. Patsy gives birth and learns to help her friends deliver as naturally as possible.
Weary of the cold and isolation, Patsy moves to a commune in West Virginia, where she becomes a self-taught midwife delivering babies in cabins and homes. Her stories sparkle with drama and intensity, but she wants to help more women than healthy hippie homesteaders. After a ten-year sojourn for professional training, Patsy and her husband, Tom, return to Appalachia, as a nurse-midwife and physician, where they set up a women's-health practice. They deliver babies together, this time in hospitals; care for a wide variety of gyn patients; and live in a lakeside contemporary home--but their hearts are still firmly implanted in nature. The obstetrical climate is changing. The Harmans' family is changing. The earth is changing, but Patsy's arms remain wide open to life and all it offers.
Her memoir of living free and sustainably against all odds will be especially embraced by anyone who lived through the Vietnam War and commune era, and all those involved in the back-to-nature and natural-childbirth movements.
Editorial Reviews
"There are more honest, revealing moments here than in many memoirs. Harman, whose prose is sparse but not simple, covers a span of decades, deftly revealing her own youthful struggles with identity through the children we witnessed her raising earlier in her book, revealing, in short, a full life." —Publishers Weekly
"The heart of Arms Wide Open is birthing, but its soul is sustainable living and a spirit of environmentally friendly management of resources. Harman's commitment to this theme permeates her book, and with similar focus on other contemporary issues, it is relevant for a vast array of readers."—Rain Taxi
"This new memoir is a peek at midwife Patsy Harman's early hippie days, a world where idealism and compassion never cease to matter, where her commune mates struggle—sometimes successfully, sometimes not—against an unjust/unwinable war with a limitless sense of personal commitment and self-sacrifice. It's good to hear these stories, good to remember the fervor against the Vietnam War and our collective voices raised in protest. It's heartening to know that the indomitable Midwife Harman still carries on the legacy of those years with a message that is still vital and necessary all these years later."—Carol Leonard, Midwife and author of Lady's Hands, Lion's Heart, a Midwife's Saga
"Patricia Harman's unflinching honesty and soaring poetry unfold the dream and the reality of the rural communes, political activism, and urban counterculture in the 1970s, and what we, the veterans of that particular era of bohemian life, have become today. She weaves in the telling details—the songs we sang, the clothes we wore, the glories of nature we witnessed, and, most especially, the causes for which we organized and the austerities we endured willingly, for the sake of the earth and all her children."—Alicia Bay Laurel, author and illustrator of Living on the Earth
"A sparkling, vivid story of how a midwife is born—and survives. This story takes you places you never expect to go."—Tina Cassidy, author of Birth: The Surprising History of How We Are Born
Praise for The Blue Cotton Gown
"This luminescent, ruthlessly authentic, humane, and brilliantly written account of a midwife in rough-hewn Appalachia, a passionate healer plying her art and struggling to live a life of spirit, stands as a model for all of us, doctors and patients alike, of how to offer good care."—Samuel Shem, MD, author of The House of God, Mount Misery, and The Spirit of the Place
"Harman has a gift for storytelling, and The Blue Cotton Gown is a moving, percipient book."—Karen R. Long, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"As the mother of seven children and veteran of eight pregnancy losses, I knew when I ran my bath that I would be unable to resist Patricia Harman's memoir of midwifery, The Blue Cotton Gown. What I didn't realize was that it would cause me, a sensible person, to get into her bath with one sock still on and rise from it when the candle was gone and the water cold. Utterly true and lyrical as any novel, Harman's book should be a little classic."—Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean and Cage of Stars
"Arms Wide Open is more than a book about delivering babies and bringing new life into the world; it's about the deterioration of the optimism once so prevalent in the cracks and crevices of this country. It's about the human spirit, and the desire to do good unto others. But most importantly, it's about Mother Earth, the time we spend here, the things we plant, the mark we leave and the power she has over all of us."—Hippocampus Magazine

Read an Excerpt
All the way down Route 119, past Gandeeville, Snake Hollow, and Wolf Run, I'm thinking about the baby that died.
I wasn't there, didn't even know the family. It happened a few days ago, with another midwife, at a homebirth in Hardy County, on summer solstice, the longest day of the year.
Word on the informal West Virginia midwives' hotline is that the baby's shoulders got stuck, a grave emergency. The midwife, Jade, tried everything, all the maneuvers she'd studied in textbooks and the special tricks she'd learned from other practitioners, but nothing worked. They rushed, by ambulance, to the nearest hospital thirty miles away, with the baby's blue head sticking out of the mother, but it was too late. Of course it was too late.
Homebirth midwives in West Virginia are legal, but just barely, and there's no doubt the state coroner's office will investigate. Jade is afraid.
We are all afraid.
We whip around another corner and I lose my supper out the side window. Who do I think I am taking on this kind of responsibility? Why am I risking my life to get to a homebirth of people I hardly know? What am I doing in this Ford station wagon being whipped back and forth as we careen through the night?
I awake sick with grief, my heart pounding. I'm lying on a pillow-padded king-size bed with floral sheets. A man I hardly recognize sleeps next to me. This is Tom, I remind myself: my husband of thirty-three years, a person whose body and mind are as familiar to me as my own. I prop myself up on an elbow, inspecting his broad shoulders, smooth face, straight nose and full lips, his short silver hair, in the silver moonlight. One hairy leg sticks out of the covers. One arm, with the wide hand and sensitive surgeon's fingers, circles his pillow. It's 3:45, summer solstice morning.
When I rise and pull on my long white terry robe, I stand for a moment, getting my bearings, then open the bedroom door that squeaks and pad across the carpeted living room. Outside the tall corner windows, the trees dance in the dark. Once I called myself Trillium Stone. That was my pen name when I lived in rural communes, wrote for our political rag, The Wild Currents, taught the first natural-childbirth classes, and started doing homebirths.
Now I'm a nurse-midwife with short graying hair, who no longer delivers babies, living with an ob-gyn in this lakefront home, so far from where I ever thought I would live, so far from where I ever wanted to live. I search the photographs on the piano of my three handsome sons, now men. Do I wake? Do I sleep?
OK, my life has been a wild ride, I'll admit it, but the image of this hippie chick lurching through the night, on her way to a homebirth, with only a thick copy of Varney's Midwifery as a guide, disturbs me. What did she think she was doing? Where did she get the balls?
On the highest shelf in the back of our clothes closet, a stack of journals gathers dust. For seventeen years I carried them in a backpack from commune to commune. They've moved with me across the country three times, through midwifery school, Tom's medical school and his ob-gyn residency. I can't get the diaries out of my mind, a mute witness to my life . . .
I slip back through the bedroom. Tom snores on. By the dim closet light, I find a stepladder and struggle to bring down the shabby container. The journals have been closed for twenty-five years; pages stick together and smell faintly of mold.
I'm on a mission now, trying to understand, but I'm surprised to find that I started each entry with only the day and the month, no year. This is going to take a while. It seems I never expected anyone would want to reconstruct my life, not even me. I'm an archaeologist digging through my own past.
With narrowed eyes, I flip through notebook after notebook, daring that flower child to show her face. When the alarm goes off, Tom, dressed in blue scrubs for the OR, finds me asleep in the white canvas chair, with a red journal open, over my heart.

Amtrak sued over Vt. teen's deathBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | July 14,2013The father of a Vernon teenager killed by a train is suing Amtrak.
Michael Pratt filed a federal lawsuit Friday against the passenger rail service as well as New England Central Railroad and the conductor and engineer on duty at the time of the accident.
Pratts son, 15-year-old Eric Pratt, was hit by a train in January at a crossing at the intersection of Route 142 and Bemis Road in Vernon.
According to the lawsuit, Eric Pratt was walking north on the side of Route 142 when he turned onto Bemis road, entered the rail crossing and was struck without warning.
The crossing lacked gates or flashing lights to warn of an approaching train, according to the lawsuit. The complaint also charges that the train crew did not sound a proper horn warning, keep a careful lookout, or slow the train down to avoid hitting Pratt.
The filing also claims the railroad failed to clear vegetation from around the crossing, to provide adequate sightlines around it, and to properly mark the crossing. It also argues that dangers at the crossing were not properly evaluated, leading to a design that was not safe and reasonable.
The lawsuit seeks medical and funeral expenses along with damages for pain, suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life and any other remedies the court might find just, equitable and proper. No specific dollar amount is listed.
Pratts lawyer, Burlington attorney Robert Behrens, and representatives of Amtrak could not be reached for comment Friday.

Today was our big day, our personal guided tour of the World War 2 landings in Normandy. We were met by our guide Mathias, in the lobby at 9am. Once in his car he gave us a brief outline of the area we were about to visit and the part it had played in the war. First we visited the German Cemetery, quite a somber experience, it oozed very much the defeated. Head stones marked where the bodies lay, but most times there were 2 or even 3 bodies per site. Next we were taken to the ...

After a long day which had it's share of frustrations, yet also some humorous moments, we finished off the evening with a picnic supper at Suzanne's.

What do the lives of Lincoln, Helen Keller, Joan of Arc, and other historical figures have in common with Paula Poundstone? In the hands of this wryly observant and self-deprecating comedian, the answer is outrageously funny and unexpectedly touching. Poundstone compares her crazy life to theirs, as she holds forth on her children, her career, and the time in her life when it appeared she would lose them both. Now exonerated, Poundstone treats that stressful experience and the rest of her life successes and failures with remarkable wit and insight. THERE'S NOTHING IN THIS BOOK THAT I MEANT TO SAY is self-awareness and honesty at its most hilarious.
About the Author
PAULA POUNDSTONE has been a stand-up comic for nearly 25 years. Her long list of successes includes HBO specials, an Emmy Award, two Cable ACE Awards, and an America Comedy Award for Best Female Stand-Up. She lives in Los Angeles, California.

Dead Heat
Buried in this morning's P-I story about a state Senate proposal to move the primary election to August is the disturbing news that 108 dead people voted in last November's election. Secretary of State Sam Reed says the number of deceased voters was higher than usual because the state just started using something called the Social Security Master Death Index, which allows elections officials to track people who died out-of-state. "What we don't know is whether they were alive when they voted. I'm assuming most of them were. That's what's being investigated right now," Reed said.

I need to change my IP address in Windows Vista. How do I do this?
Changing an IP (v4) Address in Windows Vista
In step 7, I entered details that are relevant to me. The default gateway is set on your modem / router. This bit is crucial. The IP address I entered was within the range allowed on my modem and the subnet mask fills itself in depending on how you typed your IP.

Obviously the name has to be right, so list the available connections and their names to figure out which one to set:

For completeness, to reset the connection to DHCP (automatically assign IP address and DNS servers):
