She had a good run as Secretary of State, but this crisis in the final months of her term is causing some major headaches.
Could the Libya crisis hurt Hillary Clinton's chances for 2016?

R1 and R4: do you realize how many *scores* of politicos have claimed they have "no interest" in running for a given political job ... and then go right and have a "change of heart"? Whatever Hillary's claimed publicly up until now is completely irrelevant. Remember that politicians keep their cards up their sleeves until needed ... or have you bitches already forgotten how long it took for Obama's opinion on gay marriage to "evolve"? (never mind that he was quoted on the record in favor of it FIFTEEN YEARS AGO)
OP: no, whatever happens in Libya will not affect the U.S. or anyone in American politics negatively. There's a limited amount we can do regardless, barring a full-scale military intervention (which many of us absolutely do NOT want, for countless reasons).

R4, Bil Clinton is not ruling out her running. That tells you something.
Nancy Pelosi has said Hillary is our best shot for 2016.
Kirsten Gillibrand has asked her to run.
Hillary leads all Dems in matchups out for 2016.
That's why I think the Republicans are trying to hurt Hillary by blaming the Libya crisis on her.

FWIW, every single "moderate" I know, specifically moderates who tend to lean a bit right, have told me that they would vote for her in a heartbeat. They feel safe with her in a way they don't feel with Obama. I don't get it, I feel she's just as liberal as he is, but whatever.

No matter what happens with Obama's second term, and no matter how her time as Secretary of State ends, Hillary Clinton will be elected in a landslide in 2016 if she decides to run. Historic. She'll manage to break into some of the states that have eluded the Democrats since Bill's runs. It won't mean a sea change - it didn't mean one when Bill one parts of the South as a southerner - but unless her first term involves her taking bribes on camera while taking a dump on the Oval Office eagle, she'll get two terms out of it.
Oh, of course. She has to "decide." Right.

Hillary had virulent haters not just when she was First Lady, but also when she ran for President in 2008. One of the reasons some Democrats turned to Obama was because they considered him less polarizing.
Her current beloved status is a function of her not holding elected office. If she runs in 2016, the Republicans will go all out to demonize her the way she was demonized in the past and the way Obama is demonized now.

BROCTON - Scot Laurie pitched a complete game for Brocton as the Bulldogs (3-1, 3-3) produced a 10-2 victory over North Collins (4-1) in CCAA Division 4 baseball on Tuesday.
Laurie struck out 11 batters and walked just two while scattering five hits in the victory for Brocton (3-1, 3-3) and helped his own cause with a double.
"Scot was in control and kept them off balance," Brocton coach Terry Presto said. "It's nice to get 11 strikeouts and only two walks. That was a big plus."

Hunt and Johnson struck out a combined 10 and issued just one walk while the Wolverines' offense came alive, pounding out 17 hits and taking advantage of five Panther errors.
Westfield scored three runs in the bottom of the first - highlighted by a two-run single off the bat of Hunt - and eight runs in the home half of the second to blow the game open.

Tely 10 female winner Lisa Harvey heads down Topsail Road in Paradise to lead all female runners enroute to winning the 10-mile road race to capture her fourth Tely 10 in the 81st. annual Telegram 10-Mile Road Race. Harvey, from Calgary, Alb., won the fem

For a number of years, right after his move from St. John's to Calgary over a decade ago, there was always a will-heor- won't-he-race question mark surrounding Paul McCloy in the weeks and days leading up to the Tely 10.This year, the debate waged over McCloy's wife, Lisa Harvey, the fourtime defending champion who, up until Thursday, still wasn't certain she'd be running Sunday's 83rd annual Tely.
So with apologies to Lebron James, the decision has been made: Harvey will be at the start line, looking to make history.
Seems as if a nagging calf injury had Harvey thinking twice about the race, before making her 11th-hour decision.
I gave it quite a bit of thought, said Harvey, the former Olympian. I want to run. It's a great race, but I don't know how it will go. If the leg gets too sore, I'll have to stop.
Harvey is poised to join her husband in the Tely 10 record book. A win Sunday would give her five consecutive championships, surpassing Colleen Martin's five straight wins from 1976 to '79, and six titles overall. She's currently tied with Noeleen Wadden for five overall women's titles.
McCloy, of course, has five Tely 10 titles, and owns four of the five fastest times run on the course.
I didn't know that, she said of her opportunity to make history. That would be great, given the history with this race.
Harvey has won every Tely 10 she's entered, since her first race in 2003 when the couple were in town for their youngest son's christening. A Calgary resident, Harvey admittedly wasn't exactly a student of the race upon registering for the '03 event, but has come to appreciate it's uniqueness there aren't many 10-mile races out there and background.
It's definitely a run race, she said. The community spirit that surrounds it adds to the atmosphere. It's a neat race.
Harvey boasts an impressive international résumé. Besides running for Canada at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, she's also competed in the Commonwealth Games and Pan-Am Games. There's also eight world cross-country championships and a pair of world track and field championships.
Now 40, Harvey is running in the master's category. She was the second female master's runner to finish a 5K race in New York last month, and recently won a half-marathon in Vancouver. She's been a regular on the road race circuit in and around Calgary.
But a recent training session saw her calf muscle tighten up, and it's been nagging her ever since. She tested the leg during a light run Thursday, before registering at the last minute.
I don't know if I'll be doing anything differently, she said, other than stretch a little more.
Other than that, I'll run my own race settle into a pace and go with the crowd.

Lieutenant Colonel Tonya Rogers, Commander of the 1200th CSSB was treated to the best seat in the house for the National Veterans Day Parade in Birmingham. Rogers rode as the Grand Marshal in a 1962 Lincoln Continental that was purchased by the State of Florida and used by President John F Kennedy in the festivities surrounding the 1963-63 Orange Bowl. The car has been in Kay Rickmans' family since the late 60's and has been part of several parades.
Rogers has served in the the National Guard for 24 years and during those years she has served our country in Afghanistan, Panama, Honduras and closer to home at Fort Benning and Fort Stewart. She has been parade coordinator for 15 years and plans to continue to contribute to seeing the parade work through the downtown streets.
"Look at them, they are so proud to be here" as she gestures to a group of veterans gathered around a vintage jeep before the parade began. Speaking to why she loves the National Veterans Day Parade, "We do it for them, sadly we are loosing a generation of veterans quickly".
As she waved flags at the crowd that applauded, cheered and shouted out thank you she was scanning the crowd. "I am always looking for vets in the crowd, I see their hats and know this is for them". As those in the crowd raise a hand to salute she quickly salutes back and acknowledges their sacrifice.
"The people are so good to meet", she said after she finished the parade route and hopped out of the Lincoln and headed back to the reviewing stand in front of City Hall. "I hope we can keep this going for a long time to come" she said before crossing the street and going back to work to help the parade roll on.

Wettest winter since 1988 reported on Possession Point
South Whidbey's high bluffs are saturated with water due to the extremely wet year we just experienced.
That, no doubt, contributes to landslides such as the one that occurred Wednesday on the east side of Possession Point, destroying one summer home and damaging another.
On the other side of Possession Point, overlooking Cultus Bay, lives Midge Billig, 88, a gardening buff who's been keeping a close eye on her rain gauge since moving to her home in 1988.
She's recorded the rainfall ever since, compiling annual totals. She was startled when she added up the 2012 numbers and came up with a figure of 50.09 inches for the year.
"We ought to brag about 50 inches!" the lively widow said with a laugh. She and her late husband, Charles, moved to Whidbey after owning a floral business in Michigan for 37 years. Her sister, Virginia Mayer, lives at Sunlight Beach and that's what drew them to the area.
Billig chuckles as she recalled what the real estate company that sold them the house told them.
"They had a map that showed 11 inches on one side of the line and 13 inches on the other. It never occurred to us to doubt their word," she said.
Such optimistic rain projections never held true. In 1988, the first year Billig recorded in its entirety, the rain gauge on her front porch recorded 21.3 inches of the wet stuff.
It topped the 20s in 1996 at 31.5 inches, then hit 43.15 inches in 1995. Rainfall stayed in the 20s and low 30s until 2006, when a new trend of more rainfall started. The last three years have been particularly high, with 37.7 inches in 2010, 38.84 in 2011, and topping off at 50.09 in 2012.
Admitting she's no scientist, Billig said it seems logical the increasing rainfall is due to climate change.
"But it could be a lot worse," she said, referring to the storms and tornadoes presently happening back east. "This summer we'll save a lot of water."
The National Weather Service's Seattle office concurs there were some high rainfall totals in 2012. "Overall it was a wet year," states its annual report. "In December Quillayute on the north coast had already accumulated 115 inches, and both SeaTac and Olympia were 10 inches above normal."
Meanwhile, land slides keep occurring in Island County.
Bill Oakes, director of Island County Public Works, said because last week's Possession slide occurred on private property and no public assets are under threat or were damaged, the county will not be providing clean up assistance.
The department hasn't escaped the chore entirely, however. In fact, road crews have been quite busy over the past month dealing with smaller landslides over county roads.
"We've cleared probably a dozen slides over the past couple weeks," Oakes said.
The combination of ground thawing and heavy water saturation make this the season for landslides. Whidbey and Camano islands are particularly susceptible due to their light, sandy soils.
Oakes said he's been contacted by worried residents who want to know what they can do to prevent or predict when slides will occur but there is little he can tell them.
"You can't predict them," he said. "They are like earthquakes ... we just respond."

As for the talented ones, we were told that 23 people got golden tickets in Charleston, but we only saw four of them - Michelle and Jeffrey Lampkin (the brother and sister), Amy Flynn (a 16-year old who preaches on teen abstinence), and London Weidberg (a young woman who put her singing career on hold to care for her dying father). Yawn.
The highlight of the night may have been the saga of Oliver Highman. His wife was very pregnant, but he wanted to audition anyway. But the baby was born before he could sing for the judges, so somehow, they allowed him the opportunity to come back. He didn't make the cut, but the baby got to meet Paula, Simon, and Randy, and everyone ooohed and ahhhed. What I can't figure out is how much time elapsed between his initial trip to Charleston, the birth of the baby, and his final audition. Oh those pesky details.
They blew it with Lindsey Goodman, the USAF pilot who sang much better than the brother/sister act who got through. Oliver was better than they were as well. But logic flies out the window when watching these shows, and if the show holds to pattern, we won't see most of these people ever again anyway.
If you're into spoilers, there are lists circulating on the final 24, which was chosen Monday. Normally, I try to avoid these spoilers, hoping for a surprise or two when it comes to decision day. But if you're interested, here's a link. What do you think? Any surprises?
One more week of auditions and then we get to Hollywood. Meanwhile, try to catch Idol Rewind this weekend. They're doing season two this time around and are still in the semi-final rounds. Clay Aiken is the commentator and the show is refreshingly good. Check it out.

LOGAN, Utah - Durrall Peterson scored a career-high 26 points and added a season-high seven rebounds to lead Utah State to an 81-70 win against Utah Valley State here Wednesday night.
With the win, Utah State improved to 11-5 overall as well as 5-1 in in-state games. USU had beaten UVSC 69-65 at Orem, earlier this year. UVSC fell to 10-6 on the year.
Peterson and backcourt mate Jaycee Carroll combined to hit 13 three-pointers as the Aggies pulled away in the final minutes of a hard-fought contest. Carroll finished with 21 points on the night after hitting seven of nine three-pointers.
UVSC was led by Ryan Toolson, who had 16 points off the bench. The visitors also received 14 points from both Matt Peterson, a Logan, Utah product, and Jordan Brady.
Peterson scored 20 of his 26 points in the second half as he was six of 10 from behind the arc during the game. USU's 13 treys tied for the second most in school history behind the 20 made at New Mexico State last season.
Utah State never led in the first half and trailed at the break 35-33. UVSC pushed their advantage to seven points at 40-33 just one minute into the second half before the Aggies went on an 8-0 run behind a pair of threes by Peterson to gain a 41-40 advantage.
The teams stayed with two points of each other for the next seven minutes before USU's Stephen DuCharme scored on a layup and added a free throw for a 53-48 USU lead at the 12:06 mark.
UVSC pulled within one at 55-54 on a Toolson three-pointer, but the Aggies went on a 9-2 run to lead 64-56 and UVSC was never closer than six points the rest of the game.
The Aggies shot 52.3 percent from the field, including hitting 13 of 23 three-pointers for 56.5 percent from behind the arc. USU also used an advantage at the free throw line making 22 of 31 attempts, while UVSC was 14 of 17.
The visiting Wolverines shot 46.2 percent, made eight three-pointers and hit 14 of 17 free throws. Both teams handled the ball well as the Aggies committed just 10 turnovers, a season-low, and UVSC had 12 miscues.
The teams were even on the boards with each team grabbing 28 rebounds. UVSC's Brady had a game-high 10 rebounds, while USU was led by Peterson with seven.
The Aggies played just seven players and Carroll played all 40 minutes of the contest.
The UVSC game was the first of four straight home games for the Aggies, who will host Louisiana Tech on Saturday, Idaho next Monday and Boise State on Thursday, Jan. 18. All three games are slated to tipoff at 7:05 p.m.

You've probably heard about the succession of tropical storms and hurricanes pummeling the West Coast recently. Hurricane Lowell's heavy surf resulted in Malibu lifeguards making over 250 rescues -- on Aug. 24-25 alone. Hot on its heels this week is Hurricane Marie, which might be delivering the biggest waves to hit Southern California since 1997. With 25-foot swells at The Wedge, you can bet the lineup is pretty deep with big wave surfers.
Whether you're an X Games hopeful, boogieboarder or sunbather, Heal the Bay encourages all oceangoers to exercise extreme caution at the beach this week. While the following tips especially apply this week, the advice is useful year-round.

The tool can also speed up iPhone and iPod charging via standard USB ports.This is useful for charging your iPad on USB 2.0 ports that don't provide enough power, resulting in a "Not Charging" message being displayed next to the battery icon:When this message is displayed, the device is actually charging but very slowly. Using iPad Charge however, the device should charge a lot faster and as a result, the "Not charging" message shouldn't be displayed any more.Further more, this tool should also charge iPhones and iPods faster using standard USB ports. Here's the complete list of supported devices at the time I'm writing this article: iPad, iPad2, iPad3, iPad4, iPad Mini, iPod Touch 2G, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5.Install iPad Charge in UbuntuiPad Charge can be installed in Ubuntu and derivatives (Linux Mint, elementary OS, etc.) using the main WebUpd8 PPA. Add the PPA and install iPad Charge using the following commands:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get

BELLPORT - Police searched a Bellport home on Wednesday in connection with an attack on a Range Rover by a group of motorcyclists in Manhattan earlier this week.
News 12 Long Island has learned that law enforcement officials searched the home of 37-year-old Kevin Bresloff, of Bellport, who is believed to have recorded the video of the chase. Sources say authorities confiscated two laptops, a digital camera, cellphone and the helmet camera used to record the incident.
Video of the attack shows a biker who cut off the black Range Rover, then slowed down so much that his bike bumped the front of the SUV.
The move set off about two dozen bikers swarming the SUV, blocking its path and starting what turned into a bloody fight between the driver and one of the bikers.
It's believed the helmet camera may have the full length video, capturing the entire encounter and parts not shown on YouTube. Police say they have been wanting to watch the full video to try and figure out exactly what happened.
Police say Bresloff was not arrested. The only person criminally charged is Christopher Cruz from New Jersey, the biker who initially cut off the SUV. A second person was arrested, but has since been released.
Meanwhile, the wife of the SUV driver released a statement today. She was in the car at the time with their 2-year-old daughter. "Our sympathies go out to the injured motorcyclist and his family. However, we were faced with a life-threatening situation, and my husband was forced under the circumstances to take the actions that he did in order to protect the lives of our entire family."

Exploring the Spiritual Nature of MatterBetween 1953 and 1957, a group of political prisoners, codenamed X7, were incarcerated in a Siberian salt mine.

Trapped for years deep in the earth, they began to refine the vibratory rate of the body and of surrounding matter until they could experience themselves as

In CN#3861, Edward Winter was trying to identify a certain L. L. Schwartzmann. Due partly to various references with various spellings, it was questioned whether there were more than one L. Schwartzmann. But what caught my eye was the very last sentence of the Chess Note: We can go no further for now, apart from throwing an additional complication into the pot: page 38 of La Stratégie, February 1926 carried a report on a France v England correspondence match in which a game was won by 'Mlle Schwartzmann'.
Mr. Winter seemed unaware that Mlle. Schwartzmann could be no other than Paulette Schwartzmann, the French (and later Argentine) Women's Champion.
Even more curious than Mlle. Schwartzmann having been the women's champion of two countries is that she was originally from neither one. Born in Tal's home town of Riga, Latvia, she moved to France as a minor and earned the distinction of becoming the first, and only, foreign citizen to become the French Women's Champion (co-champion, at age 15, with Mlle. Frigard, 1925) . She became champion again after becoming a French citizen. In fact she would be the French Women's champion/co-champion a total of 8 times: 1925 Schwartzmann, Frigard 1927 Schwartzmann, Frigard 1928 Schwartzmann, D'Autremont 1929 Schwartzmann, D'Autremont 1931 Schwartzmann, Pape 1933 Schwartzmann, Tonini 1935 Schwartzmann 1938 Schwartzmann
In 1933, Schwartzmann participated in the 4th Women's World Chess Championship, played at Folkstone In 1933. Vera Menchik won, of course, but Schwartzman earned 6th place. She played in the 7th Women's World Chess Championship in Buenos Aires in 1939. Again Menchik won while Schwartzmann shared 9th-10th place.
While in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Germany invaded Poland, starting WWII in Europe. Paulette Schwartzmann, who was a Jew, like many others chose to remain in Argentina. She became the Argentina Women's Champion three times between 1948-1953.
Uhmm!!! Very thanks! I'm know this results. I have a photo Mlle Schwartzman and A Tonini but I can't put it here. Thanks
In 1933, Alice Tomini won the tournament, but Mlle. Schwartzmann, who had recently become a naturalized French citizen, won the championship title. Alice Tomini was Italian and couldn't be the French champion.
Actually the error here that you were looking for is that in 1925, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1931, it was Swartzmann who won the tournament but not the title.
The following were the French Women Champions who came in second to Paulette Swartzmann in the respective tournaments.
1925 Marie Jeanne Frigard1927 Marie Jeanne Frigard1928 Ms. L. D'Autremont1929 Ms. L. D'Autremont1931 Ms. Louise Pope
In the 1933 women championship of France:
1.Tonini Alice , 7.0p
2.Schwartzmann Paulette, 6.5p
3.D'Autremont, L, 6.0p
4.Chaude de Silans, Chantal, 5.0p
5.Jacobsen 4.0p etc
Thanks. I already had, under the topic feminist angle.

SOUTHWICK – On the heels of the Planning Board's approval of improvements to Nicholson Hill Road, a group of residents opposed to tree-clearing and paving there has asked selectmen to intervene, calling the plan "reckless."
Six residents, three with Nicholson Hill Road addresses and the from Mort Vining Road, mailed the Board of Selectmen a petition asking that they be given an opportunity to voice their concerns and objections. The letter, dated Aug. 31, was read into the record during the board's meeting Monday night.
"Clear-cutting many home-front trees, paving a road many of us enjoy, and potentially adding future problems for the wetlands to be affected is reckless," Nicholson Hill Road residents and abutter stated in the letter.
The residents also stated that the country character of the half-mile stretch of dirt road off College Highway close to the Connecticut border was a factor in their decision to purchase property in that area.
"Every resident knew the condition of the road prior to purchasing land making this their home. It was for that reason many of us chose to live here," the petition said.
Tree Warden and Director of Public Works Jeffrey A. Neece said the tree-cutting approval entered into a 30-day appeal period on Sept. 8 after the Planning Board signed its decision into the record on Sept. 7.
Property owners who reside on the lower portion of the road favor the plan and expressed their support.
Richard Listro, of 14 Nicholson Hill Road, stated in writing that the road is plagued by its narrow width, deep gullies that make pulling over to the side dangerous, wash-outs, dead trees hanging over the road and the disruption of postal service.
"I'm paying $5,000 in taxes a year," he said. "That's a lot of money to live on a dirt road."

Somebeachsomwhere won one crown Saturday night and is assured of winning another after pacing to his 20th career victory in the $500,000 Breeders Crown for 3-year-olds. Before a crowd of 10,750 fans at the Meadowlands, the son of Mach Three raced to a 1 3/4-length victory over Shadow Play while pacing the mile in 1:48.3.
That impressive mile coupled with the loss of Deweycheatumnhowe in the Crown contest for 3-year-old trotters provided voters all the evidence they needed to cast their ballots for Somebeachsomewhere as Harness Horse of the Year in year-end balloting.
Driver Paul MacDonell wasted no time in sending his colt away from the starting gate and into the lead while his nine rivals dropped in behind him. He took the field to the quarter in :27, the half in :54.3 and the three-quarters in 1:22 before Shadow Play who had stalked him every step of the way moved off the pylons to challenge him. At that point MacDonell said, "I just was thinking, 'Buddy take me home.'"
The fastest 3-year-old in the sport's history responded with a :26.3 final quarter to draw away from the field and hike his career earnings to $3,221,299. He was purchased for $40,000 as a yearling by Brent MacGrath, who decided to train him as well as own him along with three partners.
Somebeachsomewhere will now be sent to Hanover Farms in Pennsylvania, where he will command a $20,000 service fee as a stallion. His portfolio there will show his 1:46.4 mile at the Red Mile in Lexington, where he set the world record along with world marks on half-mile and five-eighth mile tracks.
Deweycheatumnhowe, who had won the Hambletonian and the Kentucky Futurity as a 3-year-old, was the prime contender for Horse of the Year honors entering his appearance in the Crown. He had won twelve of his 14 races this year and trotted a mile as fast as 1:50.4.
His trainer and owner, Ray Schnittker, guided him into the lead quickly and set the pace while driver Dave Palone managed to find a spot with In Focus, who stalked him until mid-stretch when he angled the son of SJ's Photo to the outside and the gelding wore Dewey down to win by 4 1/4 lengths in 1:53.4. The winner paid $33. Jimmy Takter trains In Focus and Holiday Credit, who finished second while Dewey faded to third.
Schnittker made no excuses for his colt, who had been bothered by a throat infection a week before the Crown.
"Dewey just got beat. He just wasn't good. He had no pop, but he's all done now," Schnittker said.
The winner of $3,220,178, and 22 of 25 races in his career will not race again. He begins a stud career and will command a $20,000 service fee.

Tuesday morning, before I left for work, I made a call to Ray, a mechanic at Ed & Frank's on South Avenue. A headlight was out on our van, and I wondered if I could stop by later in the week to get it fixed.
"Stop by now," Ray said. So I drove to the garage on my way downtown. Ray took a break from what he was doing. He came out and fixed the light.
A mechanic you can trust, who's there when you need him. I've lived in towns where I never found anyone like that, and maybe it doesn't sound like that big a deal, but it helps to explain why we're still in Syracuse.
It's been 20 years. That hit me last week, a day or two before Christmas, as I was standing in line at the Columbus Bakery on Pearl Street. As you get older, you fully appreciate the little pleasures. One of my favorite rituals in this town is getting some black coffee at Freedom of Espresso, and then walking over to Columbus for a loaf of bread that smells about as good as anything on earth.
As I waited, I got to thinking about how my family is closing out 20 years in Syracuse, and just how much we've come to love this place. The funny thing is, we had zero connection when we arrived. I had been working at a paper in Niagara Falls, and my wife and I needed better jobs. We both had ailing parents and we didn't want to leave the region, so I sent applications to every big paper at this end of the state.
They hired me here. I started off in a bureau in Oswego, and The Post-Standard eventually brought me into Syracuse. I "came downtown," as we called it at the paper, with limited knowledge of the community: I knew the Iroquois Confederacy was born near Onondaga Lake. I knew Lee Alexander was a brilliant mayor whose self-destruction broke the city's heart. I knew about the famous green-over-red traffic signal on Tipperary Hill.
That was about it. We were nomads, and we were used to moving around, and we had no belief that we'd settle in Syracuse. We started off with a flat in a noisy college neighborhood, but everything changed on the day we moved into our second apartment, on South Geddes Street. That night, the dog and I took a walk to the top of the nearby Woodland Reservoir. I turned and saw the lights of the city rolling toward the horizon, and I thought:
My God. What a beautiful town.
Which it is, even if it hardly gets projected that way. We discovered that Syracuse is a magnificent place for moonlight sledding, because it is a city of vistas. I love the view from Tipp Hill, in which the spires of Sacred Heart and the faraway Church of the Assumption line up like celestial goal posts, or the view from Schiller Park of the rippling farmland beyond the city, or the incredible view that opens up as you near Syracuse on Interstate 81, and you see the towers of downtown tucked into the green folds of the valley.
As for daily life, we'd always dreamed of finding a neighborhood where our kids could walk to school and play kickball in the street, a place where they'd grow up with friends from a wild hodgepodge of experience.
By good fortune, in Syracuse, that fell into our laps.
So we stayed. My wife became a teacher in the city schools, and I came into a job that for me is as good as it gets. Any notion of going elsewhere slipped away. The door of our house, in a city neighborhood, is within a few minutes' walk of quiet trails in the woods. In the autumn, we can drive to pick apples in 10 minutes. I still treasure my monthly visits at the Regional Market with Louie, the same barber who gave my kids their first haircuts.
And despite many instances locally of sheer political madness, we've found solace in thoughtful friends — true believers — who dare to think Syracuse can be great ...
Which it is, depending on what you see and what you want. Twenty years ago, we arrived with no plans to settle here. Then you wake up one day surrounded by neighbors that you love, in a city whose grand vistas never fail to lift your heart.
No one says it. It just happens. You realize you are home.
Sean Kirst is a columnist with The Post-Standard

I have joined PA Consulting in a full-time role in order to work with a team of outstanding people, and to contribute to larger projects than were imaginable through Kestrel OPS.
Kestrel Outsourcing and Procurement Services GmbH (Kestrel OPS) has therefore stopped operating.
Thanks are due to a network of great people who share the belief that organizations become what they buy and should therefore invest wisely in their diet. I am indebted to them for their wise council, constant encouragement, deep insights and common sense. Together we addressed themes that often wandered far from the familiar alleyways of Procurement. The articles, blogs and papers in this site are some of the outputs and will remain here for now. They were our opinions at the time they were written and do not represent the views of new and future work colleagues.

Blair has failed us, say families of holiday terror attack victims
Graeme Wilson and Sally Pook / London Telegraph | September 21 2006
Relatives of 13 Britons killed in three separate terrorist attacks abroad criticised Tony Blair yesterday for breaking a promise to provide compensation for the families of the bereaved.
The Prime Minister was accused of "ignoring" the victims and their families as he attended a national service of remembrance at Southwark Cathedral, London, in honour of those killed in the bombings in Egypt, Turkey and Qatar last year.
But relatives of the victims said he had failed to close the gap in the system which means Britons who are killed or injured in terrorist attacks in another country are not eligible for compensation.
Instead, the Government has created a £1 million charitable fund that can only make payments of a few thousand pounds to cover costs.
In contrast, families of those killed in the July 7 bombings in London are eligible for compensation payments of up to £500,000 each.
John Corke, whose stepdaughter Annalie Vickers, 31, was killed in the attacks on the Sharm-el-Sheikh resort in Egypt last year, said the families felt badly let down.
He added: ''The Government has given the victims nothing. We are talking about people who have been seriously injured and cannot work or even really live. These people are seriously affected, they can't work or pay mortgages or bills." Trevor Lakin, whose son Jeremy, 28, the boyfriend of Miss Vickers, also died in Sharm-el-Sheik, urged ministers to do more to support those affected by the attacks.
"Tony Blair is a father, he knows how you love your children," he said. "I had a short note from him, but I just want to say to him today that whatever he does before he leaves office, he must get this sorted and get a sustainable fund set up for those killed overseas."
In his address to the congregation, the Right Rev Dr John Saxbee, Bishop of Lincoln, spoke of the victims and their relatives as a random group bonded together by "the loathsome lottery which is international terrorism".
"It is a lottery which has scarred the world with innocent victims who, in going about their daily business or simply enjoying their lawful leisure pursuits, were deemed to be guilty by association with perceived abuses of political power, or global injustice and so were deemed to be legitimate targets for terrorist atrocities."
Dr Saxbee, who was chosen to address the congregation as many of the victims came from the Lincolnshire area, added that the war on terror would be won through the battle for hearts and minds.
"It is as much a battle for hearts and minds as it is a battle against bullets and bombs. Moral and spiritual strength may matter more than military might when it comes to winning this war and securing long-term peace and stability."
In an act of remembrance, a member of each bereaved family, including two little boys, was invited to light a candle at the altar. The names of each of the victims were also read out.
Shortly before the end of the service, during the penultimate hymn, a flame from the altar was passed around until each member of the congregation had a lit candle.
Later the Prime Minister's spokesman said it "may take some time" to find a way to compensate the families of those killed in terrorist attacks abroad.
"We are looking at the options for bridging that gap," he added.

GROW Washington in Sultan is hosting a new summer event series called "Artists in Action."
The monthly series will begin on Saturday, June 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and will be set up in the parking area between the new GROW Washington store and Windmill Espresso. Artists will set up booths to display and sell their work, and will be on hand to discuss their craft and answer any questions.
GROW Washington is currently seeking additional artistic vendors to participate in the series which will run on the first Saturday of each month throughout the summer. All artists are welcome to submit three pieces of their work for pre-approval by the GROW Washington panel; applications can be found online or at the Sultan store.
Artists in all mediums are welcome; watercolor, acrylic and oil painters, photographers, woodworkers, pottery, glass, silver and other metal smiths, and leather art.
Gold Bar watercolor-artist Jacquie Miner is helping coordinate the event. Miner has always been artistically inclined, doing black ink sketches for many years. About 10 years ago she became interested in brightening up her work with color. She started learning about working with watercolor, but wasn't really able to fully explore the method until her retirement two years ago.
"This is my passion! I couldn't do it while I was working all the time, but now I'm retired and I can paint," said Miner.
Miner's paintings include bright renditions of flowers, animals, and various landscapes. She finds inspiration everywhere, often in her own yard. She also travels to places like Flower World in Snohomish and snaps photos of interesting and colorful plants. All of Miner's work is done completely by hand, including the greeting cards she produces from her finished paintings.
Miner's paintings range in price from $20 to $150, and her handcrafted greeting cards are $3 each.
Artists interested in applying to rent space at Artists in Action can download the application from the GROW Washington Facebook page or stop in at the Sultan store which is located at 927, U.S. 2 in Sultan, next to Windmill Espresso. Artists should be local with a current business license. Contact Jacquie Minor with any questions at (360) 789-2146.
Miner is looking forward to meeting other Sky Valley artists.
"We have talent here in the valley," said Miner.
GROW Washington is a small business incubator dedicated to promoting local entrepreneurial efforts.
Artists in Action is currently scheduled for the following Saturdays: June 1, July 6, Aug. 3 and Sept. 7.
Additional information on "Artists in Action" can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/GrowWashingtonSultan, and the artist's application can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/ArtistsApplication.

When the appeal period expired for seeking overturn of a hearing examiner decision allowing a controversial rezone to take place at the east edge of Monroe, it seems that the decade-long battle over the land was over.
But in March, a group of long-time rezone opponents appealed the December decision to a higher authority; the Growth Management Act Hearings Board.
While so far the struggle between owners of property just east of Woods Creek who wanted to rezone the land for commercial use and homeowners above the land who oppose that rezone has been carried out within the city.
The first petition for a rezone of the 48 acre parcel came in 2004. By 2012, the matter had been in front of the city a number of times, but never successfully.
At the very end of last year, in a special session, the city council finally approved the rezone from limited open space to general commercial.
An appeal to a city hearing examiner failed, and the appellants did not appear inclined to fight the rezone beyond that.
But February 18, James Blair, representing several members of his family as well as longtime rezone opponent Lowell Anderson, took the matter to the state.
The Growth Management Hearings Board has the power to resolve land use disputes statewide, because local land use falls under state Growth Management Act law.
The new appeal argues that the ordinances creating the rezone are inconsistent with the city's own Comprehensive Plan, which is required to be in compliance with state law and Growth Management Act regulations.
"This property is isolated from the commercial core and lacks viable pedestrian, transit and utility access," said Misty Blair, who drew on professional planning experience to draft the petition for review for her family. "Furthermore, the land itself is entirely encumbered by critical areas; steep landslide prone slopes, fish bearing stream, high quality wetlands, and active Skykomish River floodplain."
Recently, the Blairs submitted a supplementary petition specific to perceived conflicts with the city's shoreline rules.
Also, the Blairs learned of another petition for review being written by long-time rezone opponent Doug Hamar, so the parties consolidated their objections to the hearings board.
The hearings board has the power to either strike the ordinance down entirely or to send it back to the city for revision, should the ruling favor the petitioners.
But typically GMHB disputes are settled before the hearing, said Blair.
The hearings board requires that the parties make at least one attempt to resolve the matter on their own before holding a formal hearing.
Through the rest of this month, May and June, the parties will prepare and respond to motions from each other. If no resolution is reached, the GMHB will hear the matter July 17, with a decision rendered by August 26.

Saskatchewan Rural and Remote Health Minister Randy Weekes (left) and Health and Wellness Minister David Wilson visited the South Cumberland Collaborative Emergency Centre on Thursday.
PARRSBORO ŌĆō ParrsboroŌĆÖs collaborative emergency centre has impressed officials with SaskatchewanŌĆÖs government.
Health officials from the province toured the centre on Thursday and its premier, Brad Wall, announced later that his province intends to explore the implementation of the model as an innovative approach to provide emergency care.
ŌĆ£Collaborative emergency centres are working in Nova Scotia and they will work across the country,ŌĆØ Premier Darrell Dexter said. ŌĆ£We are happy to share our first-hand experiences with Saskatchewan or any other province so their citizens can receive better care sooner.ŌĆØ
The collaborative emergency model was created two years ago to respond to emergency room closures that plagued the health system over the previous decade. CECs keep emergency rooms open around the clock, seven days a week and they ensure patients have access to same-day or next-day appointments with physicians.
ŌĆ£We are looking to transform our health care system to ensure people have improved access to high quality health care,ŌĆØ SaskatchewanŌĆÖs premier said. ŌĆ£We look forward to learning more about how Nova ScotiaŌĆÖs team-based model can improve access to emergency and primary health care in our rural and remote areas.ŌĆØ
The first CEC opened in Parrsboro last July. Since then, additional centres have opened in Springhill and Tatamagouche. Additional centres have been announced for Pugwash, Annapolis Royal and Musquodoboit Valley.

The Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts owns the ski area, which has been leased by numerous companies in the past. ... The revitalization began in 2007 when Ski Blue Hills Management, LLC (SBHM) was awarded a 5-year lease of the area.

Blue Hills Reviews & Tips (4)
great little area. super close to boston. They struggled in 2012, unable to make or keep much snow, but they kept it open and it was good. they have lift issues and long lines. If you live west of Boston you'd better head to Nashoba for 10 lifts and better snowmaking, and a larger terrain park. Don't bother going all the way to flawchusett, it just gets worse each year. Blue Hills also got these annoying rfid tickets this year that you scan. They don't work. When it did work it flashed my name and image on the public screen for everyone to see, but most of the time it was broken and slowing the line down. After our 2nd trip without it working, we just stopped buying tickets and reused the old ones, nobody knew the difference because none of them did anything, haha. But I will still buy another ticket next year and go again, it's small and flat but it's skiing! Don't go if you feel that you need bragging rights or a fancy sticker on your bumper. If you just like to ski you'll love Blue Hills

Town will pick up tree limbs
© Prince William Times / Mar. 11, 2013Facing the aftermath of last week's snow storm, town residents have a way to dispose of fallen branches and tree debris left over from the heavy wet snow that damaged some trees.
The town's Public Works Department will pick up tree limbs and debris as part of regular trash day service. Limbs must be cut to a maximum of four feet long, tied in a bundle no larger than two feet in diameter and weighing no more than 50 lbs. The bundle must be bound with string or twine sufficient to permit the bundle to be lifted and placed into the garbage truck.
"After major tree-damaging storms, the town accepts debris and limbs with regular garbage pickup" Public Works Director Jim Hoy. "We encourage residents to cut and bundle limbs and set them curbside for pickup."
Town residents don't have to call the public works department for pickup. Trash crews will pick up the bundled debris on the day of regular garbage pickup.
"As an alternative, residents can haul the debris and limbs to one of the many local recycling companies that convert the limbs to mulch," said Hoy.
Town residents with questions may contact the Public Works Department at 825-0285.

GW Lacrosse Opens 2014 at Home on Wednesday
Colonials In Search of Program-Record Third Straight A-10 Championship Bid
Feb. 10, 2014
2014 Roster | 2014 Schedule | Follow @GWLacrosse on Twitter & Instagram | Like GW Lacrosse on Facebook
WASHINGTON - Following a season in which George Washington lacrosse secured an Atlantic 10 Championship bid for the second consecutive year for the first time in program history, the Colonials look to improve upon last year's feats and continue to make history as they enter 2014.
GW returns 19 letterwinners from the 2013 team that went 9-8 overall and 4-3 in the Atlantic 10, highlighted by four all-conference selections - juniors Jamie Bumgardner and Jenn Seitz and sophomores Olivia Boudreau and Julia Lawson. The Colonials lost just four players to graduation last spring and with the addition nine talented newcomers, seventh-year Head Coach Tara Hannaford's team is prepared to prove its worth within the league.
"It was great for our players to create program history with back-to-back championship appearances but it is our expectation to improve upon that," Hannaford said. "We have a lot of experienced players on this team and they all have an understanding of what we want to accomplish as a collective unit. We want to take the next step as a program and we do that by improving on a day-to-day basis."
The Colonials competed in fall ball tournaments and hit the field in January while on a two-week trip of a lifetime in Australia and got to compete against top South Australian competition. After landing seven players on conference postseason teams one year ago, the most since 2007, GW was selected to finish third in the 2014 Atlantic 10 preseason poll and looks to reach the conference championship for an unprecedented three straight years.
"The number of all-conference selections says a lot about where our program is headed. We are bringing in players who are going to compete and push their teammates each and every day," she said. "Earning individual accolades is always great, but our team is very focused about what it is achieving as a whole and everyone wants to take that next step as a unit."
"We have some more weapons up front this season and we will put forward a different look," said Hannaford. "We have become more versatile in the attack and we have a lot of people who can drive to the goal as well as feed the ball."
Sophomore Gabbi Hull and rookie Michaela Lynch are also expected to contribute valuable minutes and make a big impact this season, along with senior co-captain Terasa Vassallo who will rotate between the attack and the midfield.
"There is a great rotation of midfielders that will make a difference on both ends of the field," Hannaford said. "We have a lot of players who are going to contribute and we will be able to create a lot of opportunities for players."
"I am really excited about our defenders because they are a strong core group that fights for every play," said Hannaford. "They go after every 50/50 ball, they are solid with 1-v-1, they grab draw controls and push the fast break."
Following nine non-conference contests, which includes No. 18 Navy and No. 17 Denver, the Buff and Blue open A-10 play on Friday, April 4 at Duquesne. GW hosts league newcomer George Mason on Friday, April 18, which will add more intensity to the local rivalry.
"The conference is always competitive and it continues to get stronger as we move forward," Hannaford said. "League play is always tough from top to bottom and it makes for a fun atmosphere. Our expectation is to be in the A-10 Championship. It is always a challenge and a fight but we are excited to take that next step as a program."
The four-team 2014 Atlantic 10 Lacrosse Championship will be held at Richmond's Robins Stadium from Friday, May 2 -Sunday, May 4.

A 26-year-old man accused of hiding his genitals under a Saints Santa hat and flashing a Covington Walmart shopper pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Tuesday on two obscenity charges, the St. Tammany Parish District Attorney's Office said. St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office deputies arrested Brian L. Harris in December at his home near Covington, after receiving reports of a man flashing a shopper and masturbating in his car on separate occasions in the Walmart parking lot on U.S. 190.
According to information from the Sheriff's Office, a woman told a Walmart security officer on Dec. 11 that she was preparing to back her car out of a parking spot when she noticed a man with a Saints Santa hat on his lap sitting in a 1998 green Honda Civic next to her vehicle. He removed the hat and exposed himself, according to the Sheriff's Office report.
The woman said the man made eye contact with her and grinned, according to the Sheriff's Office report.
On Dec. 28, another shopper told a Walmart security guard a man was masturbating in the parking lot in a green 1998 Honda Civic, according to the report. That witness got a partial license plate number, and deputies were able to track down the car's owner through a Department of Motor Vehicles database.
They went to the Honda owner's home on Helenberg Road in Covington and found a green Honda Civic parked in the driveway, according to the Sheriff's Office report. A Saints Santa hat was inside.
Harris has an April 15 trial date. If convicted, he could face up to three years in prison ad could be fined up to $2,500 on each obscenity charge.
