Soldier returns home, thankfully
By Sean Kirst, Post-Standard columnist
Sgt. Del Rodriguez III, in the same way as thousands upon thousands of others who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan, doesn't need to elaborate on the meaning of Thanksgiving.
At Fort Drum, now that he's home, he spends each day living it out.
Rodriguez earned the Silver Star, a high military honor, during his 15-month deployment to Iraq with "The Misfits," an infantry platoon from Alpha Co. 4-31. A few weeks ago, he returned to his wife, Tiffany, and to Alex, his 10-year-old son. He had been stationed south of Baghdad, in a land of arid farmland near Yusufiyah and Latifiyah. Read more of the story.

Since the moment Penn State's board of trustees fired Joe Paterno, a faction of alumni has clamored for new trustees, a new board structure and a greater alumni voice.
They have vowed to be heard in this spring's trustees election, and dozens of candidates are expected to file for a spot on the ballot by Wednesday's deadline.
They'll be competing for the three alumni seats on this year's ballot, 11 percent of the total board of 32.
Meanwhile, the state's agricultural societies will elect two trustees of their own.
The alumni campaign has inspired rival slates of candidates to create Facebook groups. They've laid out how they would have treated Joe Paterno and reacted to allegations of Jerry Sandusky sexually abusing children on campus.
The agriculture race is about one thing: what's best for Pennsylvania farms.
When the men vying to be the next agriculture trustees make their pitches to the county Farm Bureaus and Holstein Associations, Sandusky's name rarely comes up.
"They are very interested in my feelings about the land grant mission of Penn State, the level of funding for the extensions and research and development, and what [Penn State] will do to help farmers and farmers' families," said Don Cotner, a Danville egg farmer seeking a seat.
Paul Semmel, a former state representative who owns a Lehigh county farm, started calling agriculture leaders around the state about his candidacy in December.
"Ninety-five percent of the calls are concerned with continuing of extension programs and research and so forth," Semmel said.
That's the way the system is designed. In theory, agriculture trustees are supposed to represent farmers' interests.
Pennsylvania farmers and those in production agriculture consider Penn State their school, whether they ever took a class there or not. The university began as Farmers High School. Researching the most effective way to grow food, and passing that knowledge on to the state's agriculture community, has always been part of Penn State's mission.
Penn State's county extension offices serve as a quick reference point when farmers have a question about new science or a new pest.
"Most of us have a very tight tie because of the extensions," said Henry Karki, a candidate from Lawrence County. "If we have a problem, Penn State deals with it."
But money for agriculture research has been cut in recent years. Workers have been laid off at the extension offices, and the College of Agricultural Sciences has been restructured. As Gov. Tom Corbett proposed further state funding cuts to the university, many in the agriculture world worry that research will one day disappear altogether.
Pennsylvania's farmers see that as the threat to their future, not what Sandusky might have done in 1998 or if Paterno's family is still owed an apology.

SULPHUR SPRINGS — A man who was one of two inmates who escaped from an East Texas jail for two days has pleaded guilty to capital murder and drawn a life sentence without parole.
Brian Allen Tucker pleaded guilty in a state district court in Sulphur Springs on Thursday. His attorney, Ronald Ferguson, told the Sulphur Springs News-Telegram that the plea came as a surprise. He attributed the plea to a desire to avoid a death-penalty prosecution.
Tucker and another man escaped the Hopkins County Jail in Sulphur Springs on April 2. They were captured two days later in a barn in Cooper, 20 miles north of Sulphur Springs.
Tucker was accused of strangling Bobby Riley to death in Riley's Mahoney home in 2011.
Sulphur Springs is 75 miles northeast of Dallas.

TRENTON — The Mercer County Clerk's Office will open Saturday, Nov. 2, and Sunday, Nov. 3, for registered voters who wish to fill out a vote-by-mail application in person for the Nov. 5 election.
The office will be open on Nov. 2 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and on Nov. 3 from noon to 4 p.m., the clerk's office said in a press release.
Registered voters can apply for a ballot in person, on the second floor of the courthouse annex at 209 South Broad St., and the clerk's office will process the application and provide a ballot.
Completed ballots must then be delivered to the Board of Elections at 640 South Broad St. That office will remain open half an hour longer than the clerk's office on Nov. 2 and Nov. 3 so voters can submit their ballots the same day, the release said.
"Voting should be accessible to any registered voter and sometimes business hours are not convenient for working people. That is why I extended hours," County Clerk Paula Sollami-Covello said.

On foot, from Ijoukak head out on the Marrakesh road, cross the Oued Agoundis river bottom and turn right onto the up-valley road, passing several gîtes. The scenery opens up to distant peaks and there are a surprising number of villages. After an hour's walking you reach the wreck of an old mineral processing plant, a gondola still high in the air on a cable stretched across the valley to mines that closed decades ago. Continue walking to the village of Taghbart where there is a fork; take the right branch to cross the river, which makes an impressive ascent to the 2202-metre Tizi-n-Ou-Ichddane on the Atlas watershed. The Agoundis piste soon passes El Makhzen and a prominent house in wedding-cake style before becoming progressively narrower, exposed and rough, passing perched villages and ending at the village of Aït Youl. From Aït Youl, strong walkers can reach the Toubkal Refuge in a day, crossing the Tizi n'Ougane (risk of snow on the final slopes from November through May) passing through wild gorges and screes on the way.

"On the Town" is one of those gems of musical theater that's often quoted, but rarely produced. With a soaring score by Leonard Bernstein and book and lyrics by Broadway icons Betty Comden and Adolph Green, the show about three sailors on the loose in the big city has both a high difficulty level and an amusing but paper-thin book bound by musical comedy conventions. Add to that an abundance of heavy duty dance (it's based on the ballet "Fancy Free" by Jerome Robbins with music by Bernstein). Two Broadway revivals have failed. The famous film version with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra threw out most of the score and really starred New York City itself. Happily, Merry-Go-Round Playhouse, the anchor of the Finger Lakes Theatre Festival, takes a whirl at "on the Town" with dizzying results.
The slim storyline exudes the innocence and optimism of the homefront during WWII. We follow three sailors on 24 hour leave on New York. Ozzie (Michael Warrell) and Chip ( Drew Humphrey) agree to help buddy Gabey (Xavier Cano) search for Miss Turnstiles, the subway poster girl for the month, for whom he is head over heels. However, his buddies soon get distracted. Chip is taken for a ride by man-crazy lady cabbie Hildy Esterhazy (Alaina Mills). Ozzie ends up at the Museum of Natural History, where comely anthropologist Claire De Loone (Jennifer Byrne) discovers that he has the perfect physical type of a prehistoric man. Gabey finds Miss Turnstiles, Ivy Smith (Shannon O'Bryan) on his own, but then (of course) loses her through the thinnest of musical comedy complications.
Then there's that score. Starting with the gorgeous opening song, "I Feel Like I'm Not Out of Bed Yet," which leads into the joyful "New York, New York," the music is in turns jaunty, lyrical, and driving, with real hints of what the composer will later do in "West Side Story."
The current production, directed and choreographed by new Finger Lakes Theatre Festival Producing Director Brett Smock, crackles with energy. In grand Merry-Go-Round style, "On the Town" sports a fine scenic design by Czerton Lim, with terrific projections by Brad Peterson.
"On the Town" rises or falls on the chemistry among the three sailors. Cano, Warrell, and Humphrey, their characters' personalities sharply defined, work together like a well-oiled machine.
Although the show is propelled by muscular dance by a dynamic ensemble, the principals tear into Bernstein's music and the comic possibilities with real forties style. In the museum, Claire and Ozzie's mock operatic "Carried Away" melts into a frenzied caveman production number worthy of Busby Berkley. Mills belts with the best of them in "I Can Cook Too," which bounces with swing rhythms, and Cano scores with the lyrical "Lonely Town." As Ivy Smith, the appealing O'Bryan shows a gift for physical comedy. The fine supporting cast includes David Studwell as Clair's "understanding" fiance, Courtney Cook as Hildy's sniffling roommate, and Rebecca Carr as dipsomaniac vocal coach Maude P. Dilly.

PHILADELPHIA -- Terrell Owens was one of the most popular athletes in Philadelphia during his time with the Eagles, before it all came crashing to an end over a contract dispute.
A few years later, it looks like the Pro Bowl wideout is ready to poke fun at the City of Brotherly Love, which isn't showing him much love at all.
In a new commercial for a Philly Cheesesteak burger at Carl's Jr., Owens is harassed by Eagles fans as he walks about Philadelphia.
Maybe in the next spot, Owens will do situps in his driveway.

FREE Max Payne 3 Gorilla Warfare Pack Now Available to Everyone on PSN and Xbox LIVE
For everyone picking up the game and swinging into Max Payne 3 Multiplayer this week, we've got a FREE bonus downloadable Pack available to everyone on PSN and Xbox LIVE (also coming on launch day for the PC version as well) to kick off Multiplayer and help you go ape on the competition - the Gorilla Warfare Pack.
The Gorilla Warfare Pack includes three items that can be added to customize your Multiplayer Loadout in Max Payne 3 — the Gorilla Mask Item gives you extra adrenaline for melee kills from behind, the Lucky Coin Item gives you extra cash when looting bodies, and the Booby Trap item makes your corpse booby trapped so that it explodes when looted by another player.
In addition to this free DLC pack, players can also now download the Rockstar Pass on both PSN and Xbox LIVE, which will give you all the upcoming Max Payne 3 multiplayer DLC coming this summer and beyond - beginning with the Local Justice Map Pack this June - at a special discounted rate, compared to purchasing each pack individually.
For more details on Max Payne 3 DLC, stay tuned here at the Rockstar Newswire and www.rockstargames.com/maxpayne3/dlc.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama - If you traveled to Nick Saban's first game-week press conference looking for answers at quarterback, you and the Alabama football coach have something in common.
He said he didn't know who was going to start either. Or finish.
If you ponder everything Saban said on the subject Monday, there are still four possibilities West Virginia may see Saturday in the Georgia Dome.
Scenario No. 1: Blake Sims starts, and Jake Coker comes out of the bullpen. This option would have to be considered the leader in the clubhouse at the moment.
Scenario No. 2: Coker throws the first pitch, and Sims takes over in relief. Plausible if not probable. Sims earned more kudos Monday because, Saban said, "he's more comfortable in doing the things we do."
Saban went a little inside baseball when he noted that a starting pitcher doesn't always go nine innings, but later in his presser, asked point-blank if both quarterbacks would play, he said, "That decision has not been made yet."
Whoa. Cue even more intrigue.
Scenario No. 3: Sims starts and throws a complete game, shocking Jimbo Fisher and the rest of the college football world.
Scenario No. 4: Coker throws the first pitch, the last pitch and every pitch in between, making every fall camp comment from the head coach about his quarterbacks look like a massive smokescreen.
Confused? You and Dana Holgorsen aren't the only ones.
Carrying the quarterback competition into the regular season isn't the worst thing in the world, as Alabama proved in 2011, but this battle isn't an exact parallel. In a major departure, the Crimson Tide is facing an unprecedented challenge in the Saban era.
For the first time, his team will open a season with both a new starting quarterback and a new offensive coordinator. Lane Kiffin's a rookie around here, too, in a decision-making position.
In 2007, Saban's debut, John Parker Wilson was a returning starter working with a new coordinator in Major Applewhite. The next year, Wilson came back to work with another - and far better - coordinator in Jim McElwain.
In 2009, Alabama had a holdover at play-caller in McElwain but a new starter under center in Greg McElroy, and they stayed together for two years.
In 2011, Alabama had a new starter in AJ McCarron, but he'd already worked with the returning McElwain for two years. In 2012, Doug Nussmeier succeeded McElwain, who'd left to become a head coach, but McCarron brought back his experience.
Nussmeier and McCarron stayed together last year, too, and wait a minute. You know what that means? Alabama's returned both its offensive coordinator and its starting quarterback only twice during the Saban era. Both times, in 2010 and 2013, the Tide failed to win so much as the SEC West.
So experience can be overrated, but newness in the man calling the plays and the man taking the snaps is a new sensation for Saban's program.
If Sims and/or Coker and Kiffin click, Alabama will roll up a lot of points. If the quarterback(s) and the coordinator don't find a happy place on a consistent basis, Alabama still will score because of all those other playmakers, but something may be missing at critical moments.
For the moment, the mystery continues. Get plenty of popcorn just in case.

MADISON, Alabama -- Matt Trulock has taken a big step in following his father's footsteps by accepting a scholarship to Marion Military Institute.
The Bob Jones High School senior chose the nation's oldest military junior college because he wants to be an active duty military officer like his father, Mayor Troy Trulock. He will begin attending Marion next fall.
"After visiting Marion Military Institute several times last year, I was impressed with the college and its military lifestyle, and think it is a great fit for me," he said.
Matt Trulock was awarded the Academic Dean Scholarship earlier this month. The scholarship will cover fifty percent of his tuition at Marion.
This scholarship was offered based on his academic
achievements in Bob Jones, where he also played on the Patriots football team.
"We look at ACT scores, cumulative GPA and other qualitative factors when reviewing a candidate for this particular scholarship," says Brittany Crawford, director of admissions and member of the Scholarship Committee at Marion Military Institute. "He will be tasked to carry on a strong legacy of Truth, Honor and Service," she added.
Since 1842, Marion Military Institute has achieved a national reputation for preparing young men and women for successful civilian and military careers. Students from all over the nation attend Marion Military Institute to establish a strong foundation for future study, and to take advantage of its leadership development & military training programs.
One key part of Marion Military Institute's mission is to make its programs financially accessible to deserving students. As part of this initiative, Marion Military Institute offers more than $1 million in scholarships to future cadets each year.

Is it for real?
I've been reading your site for quite some time now and it really help me out. I've been dating this guy for almost 4 months now. We're in a long distance relationship, he lives 100miles away from me. On our first 2 weeks, I see him twice a week. Then things got ugly so I havent seen him in a month. From January till February I only see him evry other weekend, we would wine and dine and spend the night at the hotel then I would wait another two weeks to see him. Sometimes we would just eat on weekday if he is not available for the weekend due to travel with his friends. Every time we're together, he would really make me feel special and loved. It's always about me and what my wants are. But he never call, nor he barely text. He's a dentist and has a very busy schedule. I wonder if all of this is true or I'm just a weekend girl. He ask me to go to Vegas for his birthday with his friends, after 4 months of dating finally. I would really appreciate your reply.

With their vote yesterday to repeal the recently passed health-care reform law, legislators in the U.S. House of Representatives fired a major salvo in an intensifying battle guaranteed to have serious implications for families across Michigan.
Meanwhile, on either side of the aisle, Metro Detroit representatives are steeling themselves for even more in-fighting over so-called "Obamacare."
Congresswoman Candice Miller (R-Harrison Township), who voted against the original measure, ran through the usual list of GOP talking points, decrying the law as unconstitutional, a threat to jobs and an unbearable economic burden on the country. Said Miller on supporting the repeal attempt: "We can lower the cost of health care and expand access without violating the Constitution, without costing the taxpayers trillions of dollars and in a way that creates jobs instead of destroying them."
Opposite Miller were lawmakers like John Conyers (D-Detroit) and John Dingell (D-Dearborn), both of whom favor the original measure. Conyers, who represents a city where close to 20 percent of the people lack health insurance and even more are under-insured, vowed to keep working to improve the law.
"Despite today's vote in the House of Representatives, I want to make it clear to my constituents that the Republican repeal bill will not become law," Conyers said. "The new consumer protections, small business tax credits, and health care freedoms that all Americans enjoy today will be in place for years to come. I am committed to working with my colleagues to improve our health care system, but we cannot return to the time when health insurance companies were allowed to put their profits over people."
Gary Peters echoed Conyers' remarks, saying the latest GOP assault on health-care reform would harm small business: "With unemployment at nearly twelve percent in Michigan, the last thing small businesses need are more taxes and higher health care costs, but that's exactly what this bill would deliver."
Yes, the health-care reform law is far from perfect — I'd prefer single payer myself — but with more than 50 million Americans without insurance, the nation can at least embrace baby steps. In Michigan and all over, people are desperate.
Compounding this matter is what seems to be a mendacity that's essentially embedded in the stance of the GOP (and some of the weak-sauce Dems who vote with them). Considering that "Obamacare" borrows liberally from GOP health-care reform ideas, the Republican obstruction to the bill doesn't seem rooted in any ideological consistency, but rather part of their larger ploy to continually discredit the president and undermine his efforts to help the country. Even conservatives like David Frum have noted the glaring contradictions.
And yet, they've gotten away with it, convincing the very same working-class Americans who'd benefit the most from lower health-care costs that health-care for all amounts to some sort of socialist strike against the warm myth of American exceptionalism.
And what continues to be the most stunning aspect of all this, at least to me, is that these right-wingers have gotten away with this obstructionism while enjoying the very same government-sponsored health care coverage that they don't want you or me or anyone else to have. They don't mind the socialism when it works for them, of course, but when it comes to you, they've got nothing but the most insincere bleating heard since that pig Napoleon screamed "two legs bad."
It's enough to make a body sick.

The college football season hits the Third Saturday in October this week, meaning the eyes of the SEC will turn to -- Gainesville?
While Alabama visits Tennessee to renew one of the game's most tradition-steeped rivalries, the third installment of the four-Saturday drama "How the East Was Won" will be playing out in The Swamp.
In all likelihood, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina will have decided before October is over which team will represent the SEC East in the league championship game.
South Carolina visits Florida to complete a three-week stretch of top-10 opponents that started against Georgia and LSU, and the Gamecocks' 23-21 loss to the Tigers on Saturday night turned this week's game from a showdown of unbeatens into a must-win for South Carolina.
Florida, which defeated LSU last week, follows the South Carolina game with its annual meeting with Georgia in Jacksonville on Oct. 27. After that, the Gators' only league game is a home date with Missouri.
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier suddenly has the upper-hand on his former team, which he coached to 122 victories from 1990 through 2001 after winning the Heisman Trophy as the Gators' quarterback in 1966. The Gamecocks have won their past two meetings with Florida, including taking their only victory in Gainesville. It's only South Carolina's second two-game winning streak against the Gators; it has never beaten Florida three in a row.
The Gamecocks have won their past 12 games against SEC East opponents, the longest intradivision streak in the league right now.
South Carolina's first loss gives Georgia the chance to get back into the driver's seat of the SEC East race - but only if Florida defeats South Carolina. The Bulldogs already have one league loss - to the Gamecocks.
If the Bulldogs take care of their warmup against Kentucky on Saturday, they'll play Florida with a chance to move into a virtual tie - either two-way or three-way - at the top of the SEC East. And if the Gators have beaten South Carolina, Georgia would need to defeat Florida to be left with only Ole Miss and Auburn standing between it and return trip to Atlanta.
Kentucky already is assured of its 35th consecutive non-winning conference record and enters the Georgia game with a five-game losing streak.
Alabama and Tennessee actually play on the Third Saturday in October this season, something that they did for 65 consecutive meetings until that tradition bit the dust in 1995. In the intervening years, they've met on that day five times, most recently in 2007.
Alabama and Tennessee have battled annually since 1944, but regardless of the date they've squared off lately, the Crimson Tide has gotten the better of the Vols, posting five consecutive victories.
Alabama also has won 10 straight games overall, the nation's longest winning streak.
Two rivalries of the past reboot on Saturday, when Vanderbilt hosts Auburn and LSU visits Texas A&M.
Auburn and Vanderbilt have matched up 41 times, but this will be their first meeting since 2008. Although the series is tied 20-20-1, like most teams in the SEC, Auburn has had the Commodores' number for the past half-century. But an odd thing happened the last time the teams played: Vanderbilt won, breaking a string of 13 consecutive losses to the Tigers. Auburn will carry the SEC's longest current conference losing streak - six games - to Nashville.
LSU beat Texas A&M 41-24 in the Cotton Bowl after the 2010 season in the 50th game between the teams. Saturday's game, though, will be the first regular-season meeting for the formally frequent opponents since 1995. Of course, this will be their first contest as conference rivals. The Aggies have won the past five regular-season games against LSU.
Mississippi State plays Saturday's only non-conference contest, facing its third opponent from the Sun Belt Conference this season when Middle Tennessee visits Starkville. A victory would give the Bulldogs the second 7-0 mark in school history. MSU also won its first seven games in the 1999 season.
Ole Miss gets Saturday off to enjoy ending its 16-game conference losing streak. Arkansas and Missouri also have open dates.

Clinical psychologist weighs in on motives of serial rapistsUPDATED 10:18 PM CDT Sep 25, 2013
Prosecutors tacked on another charge against a suspected serial rapist accused of five sexual assault cases in the metro.Video Transcript
PROSECUTORS TACK ON ANOTHER CHARGE, AGAINST A SUSPECTED SERIAL RAPIST. 27-YEAR-OLD CHRISTOPHER ENNIS IS NOW ACCUSED IN FIVE SEPARATE CASES. CONNECTED BY D-N-A AND áBEHAVIOR..THAT EVEN EXPERTS CALL "SCARY." KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN'S KRISTYNA ENGHDAHL JOINS US LIVE WITH THIS NEW STORY. IT'S THE COMBINATION OF VIOLENCE, AND SEEMINGLY áRANDOM ATTACKS -- THAT ONE CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST TELLS ME IS áRARE. AND HE SAYS IN CASES LIKE THIS ONE..THERE'S USUALLY SOMETHING UNDERLYING.. ALMOST PROGRAMMING SOMEONE TO BE A áSERIAL RAPIST. FIVE WOMEN TELL THE SAME STORY...ATTACKED IN SECLUDED AREAS LIKE THIS.. BY A MAN NONE OF THEM KNEW.(Dr. Kirk Newring/Clinical Psychologist: So the stranger adult, stranger abductions are very rare statistically speaking.) STATISTICS DOCTOR KIRK NEWRING'S STUDIED FOR áYEARS.. SIXTEEN OF THEM WORKING WITH áINMATES. HE SAYS, ONLY áTEN-PERCENT OF THE TIME..RAPISTS ATTACK áSTRANGERS.(Dr. Kirk Newring: If we see somebody where there's a common element across multiple assaults that suggests its more of a sexual fantasy based offense.) IN 27-YEAR-OLD CHRISTOPHER ENNIS' ALLEGED ATTACKS...WOMEN SAY HE PULLED THEM OFF THE STREET... BEHIND TREES OR BUILDINGS. THEN CHOKED THEM .. SOMETIMES UNTIL THEY PASSED OUT.(Dr. Kirk Newring: What we see with the violence, sometimes that's part and parcel of the offense act and part of it is just to gain compliance of the victim.) DOCTOR NEWRING SAYS..SOMETIMES THAT VIOLENCE IS PART OF A áFANTASY.(Dr. Kirk Newring: Those are people turned on by violence, sexually aroused by violence and need that as part of the sexual act.) AND IF A PERSON ATTACKS AT RANDOM áMULTIPLE TIMES... HE SAYS THEY MAYBE A SERIAL RAPIST FOR áLIFE.(Dr. Kirk Newring: But for these repeat, sexually motivated offenders we tend to see some concerns throughout their lifetime.) DOCTOR NEWRING SAYS HE CAN'T SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO THE ENNIS CASE BUT SAYS IF THERE'S A LACK OF CRIMINAL RECORD.. LIKE ENNIS... THEN JAIL-TIME MIGHT BE THE áCURE.(Dr. Kirk Newring: So the research might suggest just being arrested and apprehended could be curative for somebody that is being caught for the first time.) DOCTOR NEWRING TELLS ME AFTER A THREE TO FIVE YEAR SENTENCE ..A CONVICTED RAPIST IS SIGNIFICANTLY áLESS LIKELY TO ATTACK AGAIN. BUT SAYS OFTEN TIMES..ASSAULTS COME FROM AN EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL OR EVEN SEXUAL NEED. BUT WHY THAT IS..HE SAYS IS HARD TO PIN-POINT. ENNIS IS A SUSPECT IN OTHER CASES .. SO WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR HIS BOOKING PHOTO. ROB, BRANDI BACK TO YOU.

Jeff Noye, co-ordinator of the Rock the Boat MusicFest, is excited about the first-ever event at Green Park on Aug. 2. The musical lineup includes Jim Cuddy and Blue Rodeo, Alan Doyle, Jimmy Rankin, Meaghan Blanchard and Gordie MacKeeman & the Rhythm Boys.
Featuring Jim Cuddy and Blue Rodeo, Alan Doyle, Jimmy Rankin and others, the first-ever Rock the Boat MusicFest sails into Green Park on Aug. 2
Rock the Boat MusicFest is getting ready to drop anchor at Green Park Provincial Park.
The first-ever music extravaganza, presented in conjunction with the 50th Tyne Valley Oyster Festival, lands in nearby Port Hill on Aug. 2.
And Jeff Noye can't wait for the stage lights to come on.
"There's a great vibe and it's growing. And everywhere I go people are talking about it. We're expecting a crowd of anywhere between five and six thousand people," says Noye, event co-ordinator.
And for good reason.
The main act is Jim Cuddy and Blue Rodeo, known for award-winning singles like Try, Til I Am Myself Again, Til I Gain Control Again, Head Over Heels and What Am I Doing Here.
"It took months of conversation before we could confirm it," says Noye, adding the Toronto-based band will share the stage with East Coast acts Alan Doyle, Jimmy Rankin, Gordie MacKeeman and Meaghan Blanchard.
But between now and then there's plenty to do.
"The list is getting longer every way. With the music lined up, we're making phone call after phone call, getting people and the food lined up," says Noye, adding that local restaurants will be serving fresh oysters, mussels, crab cakes and other culinary delights.
"The food is going to be terrific."
Next Saturday, the festival opens when Blanchard steps onto the stage at 3 p.m.
"Meaghan has been attending the Oyster Festival for the past five or six years as a spectator. She wrote last year telling me how much she would like to be involved in this year's show. I thought she would be a great opener."
Rankin will go on at 5 p.m., followed by an oyster shucking competition on the big stage with Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys backing them up.
"Full of life, this band always brings the house down."
Then it's Doyle's turn to take the stage at 7 p.m. A full band will accompany the front man for Great Big Sea who is also developing a career as a solo performer.
Finally, Blue Rodeo will close out concert at 9 p.m.
Noye hopes that people will come out and support this inaugural event.
"Ticket sales are going well, but we're on P.E.I. and we know that most people are waiting to hear the weather forecast before deciding whether to come.
"In the end, sales at the door are always good for us."
At a glance:
If you are going
What: Rock the Boat Music Festival.
When and where: Aug. 2, Green Park, P.E.I.

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — Elaine Sortino can drive her car again. She can go into her office at Boyden Gymnasium and she can stand behind pitchers again as the University of Massachusetts softball team practices.
It doesn't sound like much. She's done all of those things thousands of times as part of her routine for 33 years as softball coach. But after months of not being able to do them as she battled cancer through the spring and summer, Sortino is relishing a return to a routine.
"It was so nice just to go into the office this summer and be back. I love my job," Sortino said. "I have the best job in the world."
Sortino continues to keep the details of her illness and treatment private, but said that while she's improved, her battle is still ongoing.
"I'm still working at it. I'm not out of the woods. I'm dealing with something I'm dealing with. I'm stronger. I'm able to walk around on my own," she said. "I'm driving my own car. I'm not a hostage anymore. Thank God. Can you imagine what it's like not to drive? You can't do anything. You can't go anywhere. When they finally said I could drive, I was grateful for that. And while I'm not out of the woods medically, I can at least do what I want to do when I want to do it and not ask people. I can just go."
What she wants to do is coach. That's all Sortino has ever really wanted to do. Her entire adult life has been about molding her players into successful athletes and people, and making UMass one of the best programs in the Northeast.
Her entire calendar was a consistent cycle. She knew at specific times every year she'd be doing versions of the same things, sweating little details, dotting every "i'' and crossing every "t'' to keep the Minutewomen successful. The routine and being around a continual wave of 18- to 22-year-olds made it almost easy to forget she was aging.
"The kids are always the same. None of them have gray hair and I've always felt the same. I'm in this vacuum," she said.
Her cancer diagnosis caved in that vacuum.
"That kind of bopped me over the head. When you do the same thing year after year after year, you don't realize time is going on," said Sortino, who has long declined to reveal her age. "It was like a slap upside my head saying 'life is moving on now Elaine.' I have to be aware of that. It was kind of sobering thing as far as the years passing by. I respect that it's not forever."
She's respecting her body too.
"I have to be smart. The 12-hour days won't happen anymore," she said. "They can't or I won't have the two days that follow it, I have to pace myself so I'm there at practice all the time."
Not being there in the spring was torturous for Sortino. Her treatments made her too weak to stand for long stretches, so her assistants Kathryn "Burt" Gleason and Kristi Stefanoni ran most of the practices. Sortino coached the games she could from an elevated chair on the bench.
The staff met daily at Sortino's Hadley home to work on practice plans and strategy. Sortino was adamant about not wanting her health to derail her team's chances for success.
"The one thing I kept saying is that we've got to stay focused. I said I'm not talking about anything other than keeping those kids insulated and focused on where they needed to go," said Sortino, who praised her assistants. Gleason was in her second stint working for Sortino. Stefanoni, who played for Sortino, has worked for her the past seven seasons. "I'm glad it was Burt, who had already been here, and Kristi, who grew up here. Only people that know me could have handled it. It was hard last spring. We had to change everything to keep that team going.
"So many things needed to be adjusted and changed and moved," she added. "For them to understand and put up with my passion to make it happen, it could only be people that truly understood. Somebody else would have been looking at me like 'are you crazy?' I am and they knew that. I was lucky that they understood that I was crazy."
It wasn't just her staff picking up the slack. Her friends, her family and the community helped her with everything from simple tasks like driving, running errands or just passing along a get-well note to the extremely generous. Someone donated a van to drive Sortino to St. Louis for the Atlantic 10 tournament and then to Columbia, Mo. for the NCAA tournament because she wasn't allowed to fly.
"I was blessed with an army of angels. I couldn't ask for more other than not to have this happen," she said. "People would help and do whatever they could to help keep things going for me and my health and the team."
Never one to want to rely on anybody, Sortino is elated to be back on the job running practice again as her team goes through its autumn exhibition schedule. She's pacing herself, but still making sure the little details don't get ignored. She's in regular touch with Gleason, who was hired as head coach at Boston University, and Whitney Mollica, a recent alumna who is the interim head coach at Amherst College. Both call with questions looking to add to the wisdom they've acquired from Sortino over the years.
Sortino promoted Stefanoni to associate head coach and added former star pitcher Brandice Balschmiter to the coaching staff. She's enjoying being around them.
"I'm so happy for Burt that she got her own program. As hard as it was to see her go, she deserves it. I really felt that Kristi stepped it up so much last year. It means so much to have people around that really understand this program. You can have a passion for winning, but to have a passion for that jersey that's an overpowering force," Sortino said. "Brandice said to me, 'It would be an honor to have this opportunity.' She said, 'Coach, if I'm going to learn this, I want to learn this from you.' What more can you have from a kid? Who can be invested more than that?"
Sortino can. She has been for a long time and is glad that she can still be that invested.
"I'm back in the department doing what I want to do," she said. "That's where I want to be."

The Rams showed tremendous improvement last season in several areas.
The pass-rushing game started to look dangerous, the passing game finally showed some life behind rookie Sam Bradford and the offensive line began to come together for the first time in years.
Despite all that, there were still glaring weaknesses in the Rams' roster. If the NFL could finally strike a deal with the NFLPA, there is a chance the Rams could address these needs in free agency.
However, since it appears a deal isn't anywhere near being struck, the Rams are going to need to use the draft to fill all of their voids.
Here are the Rams' top five needs heading into the draft.

WEST SPRINGFIELD - Nearly 1,500 Western Massachusetts Electric Co. customers here were without power Wednesday morning in wake of a series of thunderstorms that rumbled through the region Tuesday night.
All told, some 1,600 WMECO customers, including nearly 350 in Springfield, were without power as of about 9 a.m., according to the utility's website.
National Grid reported a handful of customers remained without power in Berkshire County.
The storms also brought large amounts of rain and even some hail to the region. Downed tree limbs and power lines contributed to close to 5,000 people losing power.
The area was on high alert for much of Tuesday afternoon after the National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., issued a tornado watch for parts of New York, Vermont and Berkshire County, meaning conditions were ripe for the development of a tornado. The watch came nearly one year after the June 1 tornadoes cut a path of destruction through Western Massachusetts.
The forecast for Wednesday calls for a more comfortable day with temperatures in the 80s, while Thursday and Friday are predicted to be in the mid-70s and sunny, CBS3 meteorologist Nick Morganelli said,

ORANGE -- Robert Brown, Orange's first African-American mayor, died Sunday at age 62.
The accomplished lawyer and politician served as legal counsel to the government committee that recommended President Richard M. Nixon's impeachment, and defended a member of the so-called Lucchese crime family.
Brown was an assemblyman in the state legislature, representing the 27th District, and on the zoning board of adjustment in East Orange, where he resided until he died from diabetes complications.
Family, friends and colleagues remember Brown as a big-thinker, a role model and an excellent orator.
Brown was born in 1947 in Wetumpka, Ala,, but was raised in Albany, N.Y., where he was described as a stellar student and athlete.
"His nickname became 'Bookie,' because he was a bookworm," said Brown's aunt Bertha Ellis.
He attended high school in Albany, and earned a football scholarship to Central Connecticut State College. He moved to East Orange, where his parents had moved years before, and received his law degree in 1973 from Rutgers University in Newark.
"Law just fit my brother's personality," said his younger brother, Raymond Brown. "He was argumentative. He was the life of the party. There wasn't anyone who liked to be on stage more than him."
As a student, Brown met his future wife Donna, who worked at the library at Rutgers. The couple had a son, Remington Brown, and later divorced.
After graduating, Brown moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked as counsel on the Judiciary Committee for the House of Representatives. In 1974, the committee investigated the Watergate tape scandal and recommended President Richard Nixon's impeachment before his resignation.
In 1976, Brown moved to East Orange and served as a municipal prosecutor and as an Essex County public defender before opening a private practice. In the late 1980's, he defended James Fede, one of 20 defendants accused of being in New Jersey's Lucchese crime family. All of the defendants were acquitted after a 21-month federal trial, according to "New York Times" reports at the time.
During the trial, Brown moved to Orange and was elected as mayor there in 1988.
"He loved the city of Orange," said Raymond Brown. "Most people that decide to embark in politics start as a councilman or a volunteer, but he always played the big game."
Brown was the first African-American mayor to represent the city's new black majority, which had shifted from Italian-Americans in the 1970's.
Jack Kelly, Orange's chief financial officer who worked under Brown's administration, said it was not Brown's race but his oration skills that helped mobilize the town.
"His oratory skills always catapulted Bob into the limelight," Kelly said. "He was able to get things done, because he had the audience's attention immediately."
John Gamba, who worked as Orange's fire director under Brown, said the mayor helped fill the city's property vacancies after the population dwindled in the 1970's.
"Before Bob took office, you couldn't give away Main Street properties," Gamba said. "But after he took office, it was bustling."
Brown was elected as a state assemblyman in 1992, and served jointly as Orange's mayor until 1996.
He moved back to East Orange, where his parents left their house before they died, and served on the zoning board of adjustment until his health began to deteriorate.
Brown's caretaker Ella Laffiette said that in his last days, Brown showed devotion to his son, Remington, now 24.
"Even in his last days when he had completely lost his sight, he lit up like a Christmas tree when his son walked in the room," Lafiette said. "Everyone is really, really going to miss him."
Brown died at St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston. He is survived by his son and his brother, Raymond. The family will receive visitors between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Monday at St. Matthews A.M.E. Church at 336 Oakwood Ave. in Orange. Visitors may also view the remains from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Tuesday at the same location, with services to follow.

I bought a test-prep book for the June 5th SAT II for Math IIC. It's the REA book, which is my kind of test prep for something like math: five practice tests and minimal teaching. However, it doesn't have anything on matrices, which I know appear on the test, and the matrix question on the collegeboard website is concept oriented rather than plug and chug in the calculator. My calculus book has nothing about matrices. Does anyone know of a website that I can use to review something I haven't looked at in three years?
Also, is it really necessary to memorize all those half-angle double-angle whatever trig functions? I have a TI-89, and I still can't figure out how to program strings. Is there a website where I can download a program with trig formulas?

I took the test in May and the only memorized piece of knowledge I remember using was the law of sines. There was absolutely no mention about, much less a problem on, matrices; nor did any half-angle or double-angle identities pop up. But if you want to go ahead and review matrices, go for it.

Division I is up for grabs. Although Westfield, the reigning champion, is still one of the strongest teams in the region, they are not far and away the only team with a claim to the 2014 title: West Springfield, a pleasant surprise following last year's 3-17 record, has the best record in school history, and the No. 1 seed. The Terriers were the strongest team throughout the season. Central, led by Vanderbilt-commit Isan Diaz, has had an incredible second-half, and has the most momentum built up heading into the tournament. There's also Cathedral, a perennial powerhouse, which should never be counted out.
Division I, even more than the other divisions, has proven that anyone can beat anyone, by any amount of runs. From Chicopee's mercy rule victory over Cathedral to Pittsfield's walk-off win over Westfield, every team in the field has the ability to beat any other team.
The Seeds
1. West Springfield – Very strong throughout the regular season, the Terriers will need their bats to keep it up and their pitching to keep coming through if they want to go far.
2. Westfield – The team many consider the strongest in Western Mass., the Bombers have a well-balanced team that can and will win in a variety of ways.
3. Central- The Isan Diaz-led Golden Eagles hope their strong second half leads to their longest tournament run in years.
4. Cathedral- One of the more well-rounded teams, Cathedral is led by Kevin Hassett, Pete Crinella and Andrew Noonan.
5. Minnechaug – A solid team all the way around, the upset-minded Falcons will look to continue their trend of scoring almost as often as they get hits (113 runs on 120 hits).
6. Chicopee- The Pacers' .380 team batting average and .450 team on-base percentage makes Chicopee a ferocious lineup to face. Watch out.
7. Pittsfield – Although facing a predominantly Division III schedule in the Berkshires, Pittsfield's impressive 5-1 record against Valley League teams is no joke. Kevin Donati has been incredible at the plate.
8. Chicopee Comp – Cam Kagan's breakout year at the plate and Mike Bombard's strong performances on the hill has brought the Colts back to the tournament, but they'll need a full-team effort to advance.
9. Ludlow – Alex Lafayette and Kevin Borowiec lead the Lions potent offense, and their three strong pitchers make Ludlow an interesting team to watch.
10. Taconic – Another Berkshire team, the Mitch Clary and Alex Carusotto-led Braves look to make some noise in the east.
First Round Game to Watch - Ludlow at Chicopee Comp, Dulchinos Field, Thursday, 4 p.m.
Boasting two of the best offensive players in the region (Comp's Cam Kagan and Ludlow's Alex Lafayette), this game has all the makings of a fireworks display. With the runs not hard to come by, this game will be decided by whichever team gets the better pitching performance. Expect Mike Bombard to go for the Colts while Dimitri Bryant should get the nod for Ludlow.
Pick: Although the Colts beat the Lions 4-3 and 6-4 during the regular season, the Lions will take this one. The Lions are the dark horse of this tournament.
Champion picks
Although they didn't get the top pick, Westfield still seems like the strongest team to me. Considering the depth in the top half of the bracket, Westfield could have a relatively easy path to the title game. -Mark C. Volain
Not receiving a Super 8 bid will be the motivation for Westfield to show the rest of the state that the two-time defending champs are kings of the West. With three talented pitchers on the staff, and timely hitting from the heart of the order, make it a three-peat for the Bombers -Brandon Chase

Inside Out Buffalo Hot Wings
Football food is not known for being beautiful. More often than not, it falls into the Roll-Up-Your-Sleeves messy category and comes with a side of napkins. This dish turns the tables on the traditional football fare: Buffalo Hot Wings. These inside-out, fork-and-knife wings may still require a side of napkins but they certainly up the ante on traditional game-time wings.
This more refined version of traditional wings is also considerably healthier. While most wings are fried and coated with sugary sauces, these babies are baked and can be topped with a hot sauce that contains as few as 5 calories (my personal favorite is Frank's Red Hot Sauce). Old fashioned hot wings have become a football food you don't have to feel guilty about enjoying!
It doesn't hurt that these are beyond simple to make. Start with thin chicken cutlets. Pound them between pieces of wax paper until they are a uniform thickness. Roll some blue cheese up inside the cutlets. Use a toothpick to close. Douse with a good amount of your favorite wing sauce. Bake. Eat. I usually serve these will a knife and fork, but you could easily serve these on toothpicks to make them more party friendly!
I use crumbled blue cheese because I find it easier to work with. A helpful hint when working with the crumbled blue cheese — press the portion you are going to be rolling up in the chicken together with your fingers a bit to get a more solid clump. This will make it easier to roll. If there isn't enough cheese inside after rolling, you can always shove a bit more in the open ends of the rolled chicken.
Update: Thanks to Alta from Tasty Eats at Home for pointing out that not all blue cheese is gluten-free. If you are sensitive to gluten be sure to check the production methods used by the manufacturer to be sure that your cheese is gluten-free. Otherwise, try substituting a white cheddar instead!
Inside Out Buffalo Hot Wings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
1 pound thin chicken cutlets
4-5 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
4-6 tablespoons hot sauce (Frank's Buffalo Hot Sauce works perfectly)*
salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place one chicken cutlet between two sheets of wax paper. Using a meat tenderizer or a heavy saucepan, carefully pound the meat until it is approximately 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Be careful not to tear the chicken. Repeat with each cutlet.
- Season each side of the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
- Place approximately 1 tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese on the wide end of each chicken cutlet.
- Roll the cutlets around the blue cheese crumbles. Secure each roll with a toothpick.
- Place the rolled cutlets in a baking dish. Using a pastry brush (or your fingers) brush the cutlets with hot sauce. Roll the cutlets around so that they are completely covered with hot sauce.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- Carefully remove toothpicks. Serve warm with crunchy celery. Feel free to drizzle more hot sauce over the rolls before serving.
* You will want to adjust the amount of sauce used based on your personal preference for spiciness and the amount of sauce you like on your wings.

This is genius!!!! I cant wait to make this for my hubby!
My husband and I love wings! I am going to have to make this for dinner soon!! YUMMY!
Jen & Liesl — I'm sure you will love these! Give them a try and let me know how they fare on the Husband Meter.
Oh boy, these look FANTASTIC! I can't wait to try them out, great idea.
Yum! These look amazing. Just a note (and maybe because I'm "difficult", not all blue cheese is gluten-free. In growing the mold that gives blue cheese it's distinctive name and flavor, they grow the mold on bread or flour. There are some processors that don't do this, but some that do. I learned that the hard way a few weeks ago with some delicious Gorgonzola! However, I would love to make these, subbing swiss or a nice white cheddar! My husband would love them.
Alta — Thank you so much for letting me know!! I had no idea that the base mold for blue cheese would contain gluten. I think white cheddar would make a great substitute.
Wow! These look so easy, even I might be able to pull it off. Definitely worth a try. I think any left over would make a great take to work lunch too. Thanks for the idea!
What a clever recipe, I'd love to try it! I could also imagine using a turkey tenderloin for this.
Had these tonight, and they are wonderful!
i am going to try these this week! i love your site!
made them – awesome does not even begin to describe how yummy and popular they were!!!

Provinces will procure vehicles together
AMHERST – Nova Scotia is partnering with New Brunswick on the future purchase of light-duty vehicles, according to a provincial press release. The stated goal is to reduce costs by combining volumes and standardizing specifications.
Local dealerships likely won't be affected by the bulk buying procedure.
Ford dealer Jim Hatheway said fleet purchases made by provincial governments are negotiated with manufacturers on a national scale. Local dealers have little to do with it, except to arrange delivery and servicing.
"I don't see that it will change much," he said.
One change he doesn't anticipate is big savings for the two provinces. Hatheway said the large discount already given to provinces likely won't change much – virtually no difference, he said – when two provinces band together to buy.
The government release claimed the four Atlantic provinces have realized $28 million in savings over the past four years on school bus purchases thanks to joint procurement.
"Nova Scotians expect government to make smart, efficient purchases to save money while improving the quality of goods and services," Premier Darrell Dexter is quoted saying. "This partnership shows how the Atlantic Procurement Agreement [established in 1993] is working and to create sustainable opportunities for businesses in this region."

Endorsement: Eide, Asay and Miloscia for District 30 Legislature | Editorial
State Senator, District 30
The state budget crisis has taken center stage in the 2010 elections, and all incumbents are on the hot seat.
However, State Sen. Tracey Eide's name is attached to successful projects that benefit the region and state. Those efforts include securing more than $100 million in funding for the Triangle project, which will reduce traffic congestion and increase safety at the I-5/SR-18/SR-161 interchange. Eide sponsored legislation that restricted driving while texting and talking on a cell phone — all aimed at reducing the number of cell phone related accidents. Eide also fueled a bill that reduced voter approval to a simple majority requirement for school levies. Eide faces Republican Tony Moore, who is president of the Federal Way School Board as well as owner of a small business. While a very capable candidate and eloquent speaker, Moore has not presented a compelling enough reason to replace the Democratic majority floor leader Eide.
Eide's status in the Senate benefits District 30 and Federal Way, regardless of the anti-incumbent and anti-government sentiment swirling in the air. She has earned the right to another term. The Mirror recommends re-electing Tracey Eide.
State representative, position 1
In the race for District 30 state representative position 1, The Mirror recommends electing Katrina Asay.
Asay has logged seven years of budget experience as a strong mayor of Milton, which included tough calls on cutting employees to keep the city financially afloat. Asay, a Republican, and her opponent, Democrat Carol Gregory, both support education funding reform. As far as education, Gregory is the stronger candidate, armed with three decades of experience in the field. Gregory would be more effective in this category. Asay is capable of conquering the education learning curve. With the state's economy in distress, the moderate Asay gets the nod. District 30 residents and businesses will benefit from Asay's experience in making critical financial decisions that directly impact the public she serves.
State representative, position 2
For District 30 state representative position 2, The Mirror recommends re-electing Mark Miloscia. The biggest contrast between Miloscia, a socially conservative Democrat, and his challenger, Republican Shawn Sullivan, is leadership experience in the public arena. Specifically, Miloscia has it, and will be the more effective legislator. Miloscia's record includes legislation intended to reduce homelessness as well as championing for government efficiency and accountability. Sullivan is likable, sincere and principled in his views on government and business. This political newcomer should apply his efforts toward more public accomplishments.
Regardless of how much praise or scorn Miloscia deserves as an incumbent, he presents a more pragmatic understanding of how government works — or more aptly, how it doesn't work.

The driver of a BMW slammed into the car carrying Nathan and Raizy Glauber, both 21, at an intersection in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, said Isaac Abraham, a neighbor of Raizy Glauber's parents who lives two blocks from the scene of the crash. Both of the Glaubers were pronounced dead at hospitals, police said.
Their infant son was in serious condition at a hospital, said Abraham, and the driver of their car was in stable condition, police said.
Both the driver of the vehicle that hit the couple's car and a passenger fled and are being sought, police said.
Photos taken after the accident showed both cars mangled and the front end of the BMW crumpled. Issac said the Glaubers called a car service because they didn't own a car, which is common for New Yorkers.
The Glaubers were Orthodox Jews, and Abraham often speaks publicly for the different sects in the ultra-orthodox community, which has strict rules governing clothing, social customs and interaction with the outside world. Men wear dark clothing that includes a long coat and a fedora-type hat and often have long beards and ear locks.
Abraham called the couple's death "a tragedy beyond (belief) just coming off a joyous holiday as Purim" as they were getting ready to welcome their first child.
A funeral for the Glaubers was planned for Sunday afternoon. Jewish law calls for burial of the dead as soon as possible.
Brooklyn is home to the largest community of ultra-orthodox Jews outside Israel, more than 250,000.

Torani Peach Syrup
Reviewed by 4 customers
Comments about Torani Peach Syrup:
This stuff is perfect! I was first introduced to it at a camp where they would make sodas with seltzer water, ice, and pump or two of this stuff. I like to make large batches (2 qts - 1 gallon) of black tea and add 7 pumps to make it peachy. This syrup also makes really good peach lemonade. 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice, 2-4 pumps of this syrup (depending on sweetness), and 8 oz of water. Perfection. I suggest getting the dispenser pump as well if you don't have one. You'll need to use a little bit of syrup first or else it will runneth over, but if it so much easier to use and measure with instead of pouring.
Comments about Torani Peach Syrup:
Love using it in iced tea, great flavoring, I plan on also trying your other flavored syrup in the future
Comments about Torani Peach Syrup:
My daughter has been reaching for this Peach flavor syrup several times lately. It's delicious with some seltzer water and ice.
Comments about Torani Peach Syrup:
I have tried other Peach syrups and nothing compares to Torani Peach syrup. I added it to my iced tea, you can flavor cakes, pour a little on ice cream, there are no ends to the uses for excellent flavor.

HSJGA golf: Kiersten Saludares leads Big Island contingent
Kiersten Saludares is headed back to California.
The 10-year-old from Hilo finished second in her age division at the Hawaii State Junior Golf Association's Callaway Junior World Qualifier at Waikoloa Kings' Course on Sunday. She is one of four Big Islanders — each from Hilo — to earn a spot in the prestigious event, which will be held in San Diego, California, from July 14-18.
It marks the third time that Kiersten has qualified for the tournament, which includes 1,200 participants from 56 countries.
"The first time I played (in the junior world event) I had a little pressure," she said. "The second time, I felt good."
She didn't seem to be feeling any pressure on Sunday either. She shot a 77 — with birdies on Nos. 14 and 18 — after carding a 79 on Saturday. Her two-day total of 156 put her seven strokes behind champion Minny Byun of Honolulu.
"I think I played pretty good," Kiersten said. "I wasn't really thinking about my score, so I thought I was doing horrible, but it turned out good."
She credited a strong round of chipping, as well as some solid putting, for helping her earn a return trip to San Diego.
Kailey Oki of Hilo was fourth in the 9-10 division, which qualifies her for the world tournament, after going 81-87-168. Along the way, she birdied No. 4 for the second straight day.
Hilo is home to two of the five qualifiers from the boys 9-10 age group. Dysen Park shot a 78 on Sunday, including a 1-over 37 on the back nine, to finish at 159. Jason Kurizaki also qualified after shooting a 209 for the tournament, including a 99 on Sunday.
Go Nakatsukasa won the age group by shooting an impressive 6 under for the tournament. That was the best score in any age group.
Kyle Suppa of Honolulu won the boys 15-17 division by shooting 4 under for the tournament.
Hilo's Trevor Hirata tied for eighth place in the division, which included 30 players, but it wasn't enough to qualify. His even-par round was good for second place in his division on the day, but he was undone by Saturday's 77.
"I'm all right with today," Hirata said. "My short game was helping me today."
He birdied two of his first three holes on Sunday and was 1-under for the round until a bogey on No. 17.
"It was all right," he said of his round, "but I left a lot of shots out there."
Rose Huang of Honolulu shot 70 on Sunday to finish at 2 under and claim the girls 15-17 title while Malia Nam of Kailua, Oahu, won the 13-14 championship with a two-day total of 149. Jennifer Koga (11-12) and Mira Kubo (7-8), both of Honolulu, won the other girls divisions.
Honolulu swept the boys divisions, with Evan Kawai (13-14), Taylor John McGerity (11-12) and Yoyo Moxiao Xia (7-8) winning championships.

Payment information is not entered, therefore it is not cached.
People just love to bash Apple Inc. I guess that comes with success. The latest is concern over a security matter with the iPhone.
The iPhone caches everything entered through its keyboard for as long as a year before it's deleted. This helps the mobile device automatically suggest words when typing to speed data input. It's a very helpful tool. End of story.
Well, I guess that's not the end of the story. The concern is that if you enter your credit card number it will be cached and as a result become a potential target for theft. This concern overlooks one major fact: Most retailers in mobile today either do not require you to enter any personally identifiable information or are moving to such a system.
Here's how mobile checkout is shaking out. I place my DVD into the Shopping Cart. I press Checkout. I enter my e-commerce account user name and password. I confirm that my default payment, shipping and billing information be used and press Buy. I'm done. No payment card or other personal information was entered into the mobile device.
First-time customers can create an account via mobile, and then yes, the payment card information is being tapped into the keyboard and cached. The number of people willing to go through the entire process of setting up an account with a retailer on a mobile device I believe is extraordinarily small. But yes, their card information is cached.
The point is, to be successful in mobile commerce, you can't have a checkout experience that requires a shopper to enter payment, shipping and billing information. It's too much work. People expect an optimized experience on mobile, and that includes an optimized checkout. And retailers know this, which is why they are creating checkout systems that don't require personal information.
In the rush to mobile, and there certainly is a rush on, retailers should not overlook security. And that's a big reason, in addition to speeding checkout to increase conversion, why retailers are enabling checkout with just a couple of swipes of the finger.

Linksys routers for the home market default to 1 for the subnet (as in 192.168.1.1 for the main router). Some of the other brands default to the 0 subnet. So, much depends on whose equipment one is buying/using. It could be that Ten-Tec or the software developer for that portion of Omni VII coding just happens to be using Linksys equipment. I do recall the 0 subnet, along with 255, are typically not used in networks due to the masking functions that many routers use, although technically they can be used.

But how do you measure the impact blended learning technology is having on your students and their education, through their eyes? Hint - you probably won't find their feedback on their Facebook pages…but you can get their first-hand perspectives through Echo360's Feedback Loop Student Survey.
The Feedback Loop Student Survey is a free program conducted annually that aims to help client institutions make the most of their blended learning technology investment – by getting quantitative and qualitative insights on blended learning directly from the students on their campuses.
