The Yankees have dealt with more than their fair share of injuries this season. On Tuesday, it was a recurrence of a couple ailments that sent two key hitters back to the disabled list.
Mark Teixeira had to exit Saturday's game after aggravating his right wrist injury, and on Tuesday he landed on the DL. The first baseman was given a cortisone shot and the hope is that he'll be able to return to the lineup soon.
Of course, surgery to repair the partially torn tendon sheath in Teixeira's wrist has been a distinct possibility from the beginning, and, even in a best-case scenario, he'll have to play through some pain. He batted only .151/.270/.340 over 15 games before returning to the DL, with hitting coach Kevin Long conceding that the first baseman was a "shell" of his former self.
"It's something that I might have to manage all year," Teixeira admitted to the Newark Star-Ledger.
While Teixeira is still hoping to avoid surgery, Kevin Youkilis will be forced to go under the knife on Thursday. The veteran infielder will have a procedure to repair a herniated disc in his back, which will sideline him for the next 10-12 weeks. It's certainly possible that his season is over.
Youkilis missed a month of action earlier this season with back issues, and he never appeared to be himself after returning, hitting just .146/.239/.220 over 11 contests. When pain in his back eventually led to in numbness traveling to his right foot, the Yankees realized surgery could no longer be avoided.
The Yankees will use Lyle Overbay at first base until Teixeira returns. At third base, they'll go with a combination of Jayson Nix and David Adams for the time being. However, another familiar face could be ready to handle the hot corner before too long.
Alex Rodriguez has run the bases, fielded grounders and hit in the batting cage at the team's spring training complex, and on Tuesday he tracked pitches during live batting practice. The Yankees have been mum on a timetable for the 37-year-old as he makes his way back from hip surgery, but he'll surely beat Youkilis back to the lineup. In a best-case-scenario, A-Rod could return shortly after the All-Star break.

Oswalt to Arrive Thursday
The Rockies have faded a bit since a red-hot start, but they're still very much in the thick of the National League West race and are hoping a grizzled veteran will provide a boost to a struggling rotation.
Roy Oswalt signed on with the Rockies in early May, and he'll finally join their rotation on Thursday in Washington, D.C. after making five successful starts in the minors. The 35-year-old posted a 2.16 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 25/7 K/BB ratio across 33 1/3 innings for Double-A Tulsa while sitting in the low-90s and touching 95 mph on the radar gun.
"He's done everything in this game," manager Walt Weiss told the Denver Post. "He's been an ace before. He is used to this. But we don't want him to make more of this than it is."
Oswalt posted a 5.80 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 59 innings for the Rangers last season and was demoted to the bullpen after an unsuccessful stint in the rotation. However, he also had a nifty 59/11 K/BB ratio and his velocity was fine. For fantasy owners looking for pitching depth, he's worth a pick-up as a potential matchups play when he's not at Coors Field. Jeff Francis is likely to be booted from the rotation following Oswalt's arrival.
Zack Attack
In the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Braves, Matt Harvey took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and wound up recording a career-high 13 strikeouts. As if that wasn't enough, Mets fans got to see Zack Wheeler's major league debut in the second game. Wheeler didn't disappoint.
The 23-year-old struck out seven while tossing six scoreless innings in Atlanta to earn his first major league win. Wheeler had to wiggle out of a few jams, as he walked five and the Braves stranded runners in scoring position in four of six innings. His command was hit or miss.
Still, Wheeler's stuff was undeniable, as his fastball reached 98 mph and he snapped off a few devastating curves. The young right-hander will need to improve his efficiency, and he won't be able to count on the Mets giving him six runs of support each night (just ask Harvey). It's clear he has the stuff to help out mixed leaguers right away, though.
National League Quick Hits: The Mets acquired Eric Young from the Rockies Tuesday ... Marco Estrada (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment on Thursday before returning next week ... Carlos Zambrano struck out six over seven scoreless inning for Triple-A Lehigh Valley Tuesday and could join the Phillies' rotation this weekend ... Brandon Crawford exited Tuesday's game with two sprained fingers ... Kevin Gregg is now a perfect 10-for-10 in save chances this season after converting one against the Cardinals Tuesday ... Jorge De La Rosa is dealing with a bruised left thumb but should be ready for his start on Sunday ... The Padres signed Ben Francisco to a minor league contract ... J.J. Putz (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Thursday and should be activated early next week ... Rafael Betancourt (groin) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and is nearing a rehab assignment ... Matt Kemp (hamstring) is currently running at 75 percent without pain but has yet to run the bases ... Carlos Ruiz was activated from the DL Tuesday, three days earlier than expected ... Evan Gattis landed on the DL with a strained oblique ... Paul Goldschmidt belted a walk-off homer for the D'Backs Tuesday ...
American League Quick Hits: Clay Buchholz (neck) was placed on the DL Tuesday, but the Red Sox are hopeful he'll be ready to return in a week ... Brandon Morrow (forearm) suffered a setback in his rehab outing and is out indefinitely ... Jarrod Parker allowed two runs over seven innings against the Rangers Tuesday, putting his ERA over his last seven starts at 2.19 ... Jordan Lyles held the Brewers to one run over seven frames Tuesday and boasts a 1.61 ERA over his last seven outings ... Matt Dominguez hit a grand slam Tuesday and now has 10 homers and 40 RBI this season ... Andrew Bailey blew his third save Tuesday but remains the Red Sox' closer ... Felix Doubront spun eight scoreless innings against the Rays Tuesday ... Chris Perez (shoulder) allowed three homers and five runs in his latest rehab appearance ... The Yankees acquired Fernando Martinez from the Astros ... David Ross landed on the DL with more concussion issues ... Joakim Soria (elbow, pectoral) will begin a rehab assignment on Thursday ... Lonnie Chisenhall was recalled Tuesday and should get a shot to play pretty regularly at third ... Justin Smoak homered in his return from the DL Tuesday ... Justin Maxwell was activated from the DL and will be the regular right fielder for the Astros ...

As usual, my family was very good to me for Christmas. Besides breakfast being cooked by Jennie and dinner by Carrie, and time for Patti and I to share Christmas with both in the same day, was the best.
Carrie gave me a quilt that she had made for Christmas which I will have to share on this blog at some point. It clearly was filled with what some of my history is and certainly my interests. But that's another story.
As I have shared on Facebook and Flickr
Patti gave me a Flip-Pal mobile scanner for Christmas. It's the coolest. The Flickr slide show will have the 15 scans that were done, and the Easy Stitch that put those scans together into one piece.
The second project was a large photo of my grandparents high school graduation picture:
It was an 18 scan photo, stitched into one.
Now that the playing is over, the project that I am working on, is a wall hanging that my mother had in her room at the house, and was in their room in the Assisted Living Center before my parents passed away. That wall hanging has all sorts of patches and pins from their journeys around the country, or should I say world. Not including all of the pictures and slides that I have, these patches and the Journal that my mother kept about these trips will start to appear here.
So far, I have 80 scan's, using the Flip-Pal and I am about 1/3 of the way done. Will try to post, as part of this New Years Resolution, many of these patches with some information that might be in the journals.
In celebration for this, the family will re-trace one of these "great adventures" later this year. One of the best trips that we heard about for years, was a cruise in Alaska. Well, that's only fair, because my parents re-traced one of my trips through the Panama Canal. But, that's another story.
Like I said, lots of material, now to keep to that resolution.
Happy New Year to ALL.

It was the summer of 2011 when recent St. Olaf graduates, Natalie Warren and Ann Raiho, passed through Granite Falls during a 2,000 mile long journey that would lay claim to a spot in the history books. Following the route trailblazed by Eric Sevareid and Walter Port in 1930, and depicted in Sevareid's subsequent novel "Canoeing with the Cree", the pair spent 85 days canoeing from Fort Snelling to the Hudson Bay, to become the first and only females to recreate the arduous journey.
It was the summer of 2011 when recent St. Olaf graduates, Natalie Warren and Ann Raiho, passed through Granite Falls during a 2,000 mile long journey that would lay claim to a spot in the history books. Following the route trailblazed by Eric Sevareid and Walter Port in 1930, and depicted in Sevareid's subsequent novel "Canoeing with the Cree", the pair spent 85 days canoeing from Fort Snelling to the Hudson Bay, to become the first and only females to recreate the arduous journey.
Two years later and Warren, originally of Miami, Flo., has returned to the area with the Wild River Academy in hopes of helping others to connect, learn and be inspired by nature toward the pursuit of their own dreams.
Based out of Minneapolis, Warren started Wild River Academy with fellow outdoor enthusiasts Nick Ryan of Stevens Point, Wis., and Anna Johnson of Evanston, Ill., in 2012. With a motto of: "Know the Land, Know the Water, Know Yourself", the Academy's focus is bringing high school students on canoe trips down the Minnesota River, wherein the river valley ecosystem and its human inhabitants all serve as teachers in an "outdoor classroom".
According to Warren, local farmers, community members and environmental agencies are all involved in an effort to provide a full spectrum of issues and viewpoints.
So far, interest in trips has mainly come from kids that live in the Cities, but Warren would really like to involve more local students. "I think it could be very impactful to take out local kids who actually live in the area," she said.
Warren explained that she felt trips would be more personal for teenagers that live in the area because the river is something they've been accustomed to their entire lives, and now they'd get to understand and experience it in a whole new way. Learning about the history of the land and the people would have an even greater significance because it's the history of their land and their people. Plus, after going out on the water, and learning how to canoe, the students can take their friends and family out on the same route and share their knowledge and experiences.
The next opportunity for local high schoolers to take a trip with the Wild River Academy is Monday through Wednesday, August 12-14.
The excursion begins at Moonstone Farm near Montevideo. Owned by Richard Handeen and Audrey Arner, the farm provides an example of a variety of natural landscapes and land stewardship practices that are featured on the pair's 240 acres of property, which sustains grass fed-beef, wine grapes and alfalfa, amongst other prairie wildlife and vegetation.
"They show how you can work with the land and don't have to work around it," Warren noted.
Warren said that Handeen and Arner welcome the visits as well as the opportunity to share their knowledge about the history of the land and its people. In addition, the wide open spaces provide an ideal place for teaching outdoor basics and for camping. In the evenings, music, bonfires and the like add to the experience.
After getting acquainted during the first night of camping, the group depart Moonstone Farm the following morning and head over to Vicksburg County Park to meet with a DNR Minnaqua intern. These interns spend their summers educating youth about fishing and aquatic habitats. As a component of the journey, high schoolers will be educated on the river's vast diversity of fish species and also receive some angling pointers on how you can catch them.
Once the students have all had a chance to try their hand at fishing, they begin the canoeing part of their adventure. They will get to paddle down a breathtaking stretch of the Minnesota River, stopping near Redwood Falls for the night at a canoe access only campground. There, they will spend time just hanging out, singing songs, and talking.
"I've been kind of surprised with how deep the conversation goes," Warren said. For her, that's one of the best parts of these trips.
On the last day of this upcoming adventure, participants will canoe to their final destination in Morton where a DNR Master Naturalist is set to talk to the group about how macro-invertebrates––small animals with no backbone––can be used to show changes in the water flow and the water quality. In addition, he'll share some of his knowledge of the Minnesota River Valley itself. Then, the gear will be packed into vehicles and students will be brought to Morton, Granite Falls, or Minneapolis to be picked up.
Three days may not seem like much time to make a life altering impact, but Warren says that the immersion into the environment lays a seed that makes an instantly noticeable impression, and that can have a transformative effect emerge over the years. Her hope is that the kids take away a newfound love and respect for nature, but also the ability to enjoy the simple things in life.
Warren says that when you're out in a canoe, "you have to be entertained by what's around you." After all, there's no television or computer out there to occupy your time. Having students look back at the lifestyles of previous inhabitants of the river valley gives them a chance to see the world from a variety of perspectives that combine to create a wholistic viewpoint.
With all that they've learned Warren and the rest of Wild River Academy hope that students will be inspired to return to the outdoors and to pursue their own dreams. As their motto says "Know the Land, Know the Water, Know Yourself".
Anyone interested in the High School Trip or needing more information can email Warren at email@example.com. To learn more about Wild River Academy and their mission, go to wildriveracademy.com

Lions earn state bid with third-straight substate title
After celebrating yet another substate crown Saturday, the Lansing boys' basketball team has now turned its full focus on the season's ultimate goal.
For the third straight year, and fourth time in the last five seasons, the Lions will be heading to the Class 5A state tournament this week after beating Schlagle 60-36 over the weekend.
"Good players have been the key," Lansing coach Rod Briggs said. "Good kids who have worked hard and done a lot of stuff in the offseason to get better. We have built a sort of tradition here and that is what you want to do."
The competition begins on Thursday for the Lions, who are 20-1 overall and the No. 2 seed. They will take on No. 7 seed Hayes, 14-7, at 6:30 p.m. inside the Topeka Expocentre.
Versus Schlagle Saturday, Lansing turned a single-digit halftime lead into a blowout victory. The Lions started the third quarter hitting on all cylinders, going on a 12-0 run to extend a 24-17 lead to 36-17.
From there, the squad rolled to the 24-point win.
"I think our pressure defense got to them," Briggs said. "That has been our calling card all year. I think we had some guys play pretty well tonight at spurts and just did a very nice job."
Lucas Mein and Khalil Bailey led the Lions in scoring with 11 points each while Joe Schneider added 10.
Be sure to check out the Times all week for complete state coverage.

I see a lot of criticism of the Redskins for sending RG3 out to play in the playoffs yesterday after reinjuring his knee. It's easy to Monday morning quarterback, but Mike Shanahan deserves a break from the hammering he's taking over this. I mean it's not like he send a blind guy out on the football field where he'd be unable to defend himself. You save something that drastic for the Super Bowl.

I am extremely excited to be joining an organization known for disseminating consistently high quality information to the industry.
HE: What have been some career highlights for you in your time at Steven Winter Associates?
MM: I get excited about every great project I have the chance to work on. There is always something new to grab my interest. Some favorites of mine include The Eltona and now Forest House in the Bronx; the Coons Residence in Clifton Park NY and the Kantor Residence in New Canaan CT; Sheridan Station in Washington D.C., and Temple II in Philadelphia. I have a soft spot for the affordable housing projects, since the human stories attached to them are so moving. I have never gotten through a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a Habitat for Humanity project with dry eyes.
HE: We hear that you are a specialist in high performance homes—what led you to that as a career?
MM: In a way I was born into it. The house I grew up in was new construction circa 1976 with passive solar features and a wood stove. My family also bought older homes and renovated them for resale, so I spent a respectable portion of my childhood scraping wallpaper and paint. I earned my Masters in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Construction Project Management and worked with commercial buildings for a while, but eventually migrated back to the residential world. I dislike waste, and I know that we can do better with our homebuilding practices.
HE: We also read that you've done a lot in advancing the LEED program for homes—is there any upcoming news you can share on that front?
MM: LEED for Homes was piloted in 2005 and launched as a Rating System in 2008, so we're ready for an update. We'll see that toward the end of 2013 with the rollout of LEED v4. Some positive adjustments have been proposed, which will bring the rating system in line with current state-of-industry. LEED for Homes has actually been progressive from the beginning, relying on as-built inspections (instead of extensive paperwork) and performance testing to determine if criteria have been met; and requiring kitchen exhaust and fresh air ventilation strategies instead of relying on windows for indoor air quality. I expect to see the other LEED rating systems moving closer to Homes on residential performance issues.
HE: What are the most memorable lessons or takeaways you've walked away with so far with your involvement with the home performance industry as a whole?
MM: What sticks with me the most are the anecdotes and feedback from homeowners, builder superintendents, contractors, and developers whose experience with residential buildings has been changed after doing a high performance project. The rate of repeat participation in programs like LEED, Energy Star Homes, and Green Communities has been tremendous in my marketplace. Once a person experiences the performance of a highly efficient and healthy residence, they remain committed to the concept of better buildings.
HE: What do you do on a personal level in the way of energy efficiency?
MM: I've been living in a pre-war rent stabilized apartment in New York City for almost 8 years. My energy signature will be changing dramatically, since I am moving out of the city and buying my first home at the end of the month. It's a 1,785 sf wood framed fixer-upper, built in 1915. I will still get to work on foot and by train, but I have recently become the co-owner of a used pickup (this is a project that requires a truck). The scope of energy renovations is still being determined, but the first thing on my list is pipe insulation for heating and domestic hot water, since the basement is completely un-insulated.
HE: What's one thing our readers would be surprised to know about you?
MM: I'm known for baking pies. My favorites are rhubarb, and a mango-apple-raspberry combination.

About Dartmouth Athletics
| Highlights (2003-04) - (2004-05) - (2005-06)| (2006-07) |(2007-08)| 2008-09 |2009-10 | 2010-11 |2011-12 |2012-13 | 2013-14 | 2014-15 | 2015-16 | 2016-17
A mecca for the highly motivated student-athlete, Dartmouth College is the nation's ninth oldest university and a member of the Ivy League. Featuring a comprehensive athletic menu, Dartmouth offers 35 varsity sports - 16 for men, 18 for women and coed sailing. In addition, there are 35 club and 24 intramural sports as three-quarters of Dartmouth undergraduates participate in some form of athletics.
Nicknamed "The Big Green," Dartmouth's varsity athletic teams compete in NCAA Division 1 as well as in the eight-member Ivy League conference and the ECAC (Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference). Throughout the years, Dartmouth athletes have competed at the very highest level, excelling in NCAA championships ranging from track and field to basketball, cross country to soccer, as well as skiing, golf, lacrosse and diving.
The College has demonstrated a total commitment to athletics and recreation with nearly $100 million in facility improvements since 2000, including: Boss Tennis Center and Gordon Pavilion, Scully-Fahey Field (featuring FieldTurf), Blackman Football Practice Fields, McLane Skiway Lodge, Corey Ford Rugby Clubhouse; comprehensive renovations to Leverone Fieldhouse, Hanover Country Club, Berry Center squash courts, Alumni Gymnasium (featuring a new 14,000 square foot recreational fitness center), and Memorial Field (including FieldTurf playing surface and Tartan track); Floren Varsity House (featuring a 10,000 square foot varsity strength training center); Burnham Soccer Field and Sports Pavilion; an AstroTurf field for field hockey and recreational sports; upgraded basketball offices and locker rooms, and beautiful new venues for baseball (Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park) and softball (Dartmouth Softball Park).
Although the Ivy League schools do not offer athletic scholarships, admission is need-blind, and more than half of the Dartmouth student body receives financial assistance.
A private, four-year, liberal arts, coeducational college, Dartmouth's focus is on undergraduate education, but the College is considered a small university with graduate schools of business, engineering and medicine as well as 16 graduate programs in the arts and sciences.

Talk about envy.
my guess is he has either invented the Halo or has something to do with production of it.
So, as a mag user, would you like to help a bunch of 'fellow mag owners' out with a pre-sale of the HALO to all of us here on AO? and what is MSRP?
this custom 22" barrel made my paintballs heat-seeking, which flew a completely flat trajectory out to 1100 meters.
i actually (used to) play like this for a few wooded rec games.
when i did this, it usually meant you would see me flag running (i'm a track and field runner too, that's why i wanted this).. fun stuff
oh, and that's a lazer sight right above where the foregrip usually is.

KPD investigation leads to contact with agencies across U.S.
The Kirksville man accused of molesting a 4-year-old in a local church and then arranging to meet with another minor in a local park is being referred to police agencies across the nation for alleged illegal images and text messages located on his phone potentially linking him to sexual crimes involving minors.
Kirksville Police have contacted at least 14 agencies across the nation in reference to numerous images and text messages located on Christopher Hunter's cell phone after his arrest in Kirksville in mid-January.
According to the police reports, detectives located multiple images of apparent minors in addition to text message conversations with other minors and apparent attempts to conduct illegal activities of a sexual nature.
The investigation stemmed from the initial arrest of Hunter on Jan. 17 after he allegedly arranged a meeting for sex with a Kirksville minor at Jaycee Park.
Instead, Hunter had been conversing through Facebook with an undercover police detective and officers arrested him as he approached the park. Hunter was also charged with molesting a 4-year-old in the Southside Baptist Church in mid-December.
KPD Deputy Chief Tim King said officers are still working through both the cellphones and personal computers for Hunter, 19, and his girlfriend Kelly Ames, 21, who was also charged with allegedly molesting the same 4-year-old victim.
King said the images and messages are linked to multiple states and include not only minors but also apparent interactions with other adults allegedly trafficking in child pornography.
"Whatever these other agencies gather or find could be additional charges for what we have," he said.

Hey Everyone
I have amassed a pretty large toy collection and I'd like to down size and with the holidays almost here, I'm sure you'll find something forsomeone . I will be updating and adding more as I go through my collection. 90% of the toys here are in mint condition as are the boxes cards and bubbles. I only collected perfectly mint toys and spent a lot of time and effort to track down the best of the best condition toys I could. The prices are negotiable as I have been out of the toy collecting loop and not sure how the values currently sway. If you have any questions send me a message at email@example.com I will check back regularly. The prices are listed below the pictures and I have everything thats pictured. I can ONLY ship within the United states, and I can ONLY take POSTAL MONEY ORDERS, NO PAY PAL or credit cards. Thanks for your interest and I apologize for the Capitals but sometimes it gets overlooked

A big night ahead
Les bon temps certainly will roll March 3 when the Neville Brothers arrive in Denver to headline Saturday Night Alive.
The prospect of having the award-winning New Orleans vocal group entertain seems to have brought a new level of enthusiasm to this venerable benefit for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. At an announcement party held Wednesday evening at the Brown Palace Hotel, co-chairs Aaron and Sandee LaPedis were all smiles as they basked in the welcoming reaction given by the 100 committee members and volunteers in attendance.

What a great website:
Over the past couple days and weeks, in preparation for today, I have been taking a report that I created in my genealogy database management software and translated the 1930 Census Enumeration Districts to 1940 Census Enumeration Districts.
Oh, if you what to know why they are different, the answer to that and many other questions are on this website.
When you start at that website, select the US Census menu item, then the Unified 1940 Census ED Finder. That will bring to a page that looks like this.
For my example, this "country boy" is going to find his 7th Cousin, who lived in New York City. This is no ordinary cousin, but I'll leave her nameless, but she has appeared on this Blog several time.
The New York City Directory for 1940 showed the address of 808 West End Avenue. So, I selected New York, the county New York, and in the pull down menu, selected Manhattan.
Please note, USE the Pull Down Menu every time it is offered. The Correct answer is usually there.
But, just look at all of those Enumeration Districts that are listed in blue below where I entered the address. But wait, we can get that down a bit. Lets see how much closer we can get.
Wonder what this is going to do.
How cool is that. There is the address, even a Street View. I have done that a number of times today. The best example was in a previous blog post where I found the apartment where my folks lived in the 1940 Census. Never saw that place before, but it was only a block away from where my grandparents (Mom's side) lived as I grew up.
Leaning: The Tool is a real help, but there is a trick, when going to "SEE MAP". IF you end up where you do not expect to, look at the Street Address in the Google Search Box.
For example: If you have a street name, like West Barnard Street, the Pull Down Menu will list Barnard E and Barnard W, one under the other. That is cool, and makes a lot of sense. BUT, when it is sent to Google Maps, if will come out Barnard E or Barnard W. Don't panic, just re-type the address it the more correct fashion. E Barnard Street.
What is important on this map, is the 4 streets that are around the address you are looking for. That is how the Enumeration Districts were laid out.
If you Select 1940 ED Description, then More Details, you will see more details.
Back to the map, I see West 99th, West 100th, Riverside Drive, and Broadway as the surrounding street names.
Switching back to the ED finder:
As I said earlier, the pull down menu is a real help. The first box says "Cross or block street on same city block". I selected 99th W, and in the next box (pull down menu) I selected 100th W. This is an illustration of the Barnard Street East and West mentioned earlier. The street names are together, and the direction follows the street name.
Pull down menu, Riverside Drive
Notice, I didn't have to enter the 4th street, in this example. I am now down to ONE ED, 31-734.
By clicking on that ED Number, you will be taken to the image for that ED.
Once you download the image, then it's a manual looking at the images to find who you are looking for.
There are other websites that may also have the Digital Images, but this Enumeration District Unified Finder will help you locate the ED that you are looking for.
Check out this website and see if it helps. It helped me.
Thank you Steve P Morris, PhD and Joel Weintraub, PhD AND the Volunteers who put this tool together.
Gotta get back to Indexing.

FITCHBURG -- An expelled Fitchburg State University student held since his Dec. 18 arrest on trespassing and ammunition charges was freed on Thursday.
Andrew K. Despres, 20, of New Bedford, was held on $50,000 cash bail in connection with trespassing and ammunition charges until his bail was reduced to a more manageable $500 Wednesday at a bail-review hearing held at Worcester Superior Court.
That hearing was attended by more than 50 of his friends, fellow FSU students and family members who came to show their support for Despres, whom they believe has been discriminated against for his punk appearance in a climate of heightened fears and emotions resulting from the recent Newtown, Conn., school shooting.
Despres was arrested Dec. 18 for allegedly trespassing on state property at FSU following his expulsion from the school the previous day for infractions including allegedly possessing marijuana and other items prohibited on campus, including a box cutter, X-acto blades and firecrackers.
Campus police also charged Despres with possession of ammunition without an FID card for what they believed to be a belt of semiautomatic rifle ammunition he was allegedly wearing. Despres' friends and family maintain that the belt, purchased online about two years ago from crustpunks.com, is fake and that Despres wore the belt nearly every day on campus without any problems until last week.
Due to electronic monitoring ordered by Judge Richard Tucker as a condition of his pretrial release, Despres was required to be sent back to Fitchburg District Court following his bail hearing in order to be fitted with a GPS. The court sent a request to the Worcester House of Corrections to transport him to Fitchburg Thursday morning. His bail was paid as of 10:45 a.m. Thursday by his mother, Doreen Despres, according to court documents. She and Despres' father, Peter Despres, and other relatives declined to comment on their son's release on Thursday.
In addition to GPS monitoring, Tucker also ordered Despres be confined to his New Bedford home and to stay away from and have no contact with Fitchburg State University or any of its students. He is due back in Fitchburg District Court Jan. 3.

DART to open two rail extensions in DecemberWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
In Dallas, Texas, Dallas Area Rapid Transit's (DART) 4.5-mile Blue Line extension from Downtown Garland Station to the new Downtown Rowlett Station will open Dec. 3.
The long-awaited Downtown Rowlett Station gives passengers from that city access to the entire DART Rail System. The station features 750 parking spaces and an architectural design reflecting the community's distinctive personality.
On the same day, DART will open the 3.9-mile Orange Line extension from Irving Convention Center Station, adding the North Lake College and Belt Line Road stations. Those stations advance the Orange Line toward its eventual terminus at DFW International Airport. It allows North Texans to expand connections to educational opportunities, the arts, air travel, meetings, conventions and more.

Appreciation for the Opportunities We Have Today
Performing genealogy and local history research gives me an appreciation for many of the opportunities I have today. For most adults, attending school as a child and learning to read and write are skills we take for granted. Such was not the case for many of our ancestors. For many, educational opportunities were few to non-existent. When educational opportunities did exist, many people could not take advantage of them because the daily tasks of providing food, shelter and clothing often took precedence over receiving an education.
A few years ago while visiting a cousin who agreed to share information on my Woolfolk ancestors; I had an experience that caused me to reflect upon my life. One of the items my cousin shared with me was a letter written in 1906 by Lucy Jane Woolfolk Ellis, the sister of my great grandfather, Overton Woolfolk. Lucy Jane was born in 1875, a little more than ten years after the end of slavery. According to the 1900 census, Lucy Jane could not read or write so the letter may have been written for her by someone else.
Lucy Jane Woolfolk Ellis Letter – 1906
Reading the letter was a stark reminder of the value of education. The letter did not contain any punctuation and was filled with so many grammatical and spelling errors that it was almost impossible to read. After almost an hour, I was able to decipher the letter and learned some valuable information about my Woolfolk ancestors.
Like many of my contemporaries, I never give a second thought to the fact that I can read and write. I am cognizant of the educational opportunities I have received and appreciate how those opportunities have greatly enhanced my life. However, I don't think I am special. Lucy Jane's letter made me pause and really appreciate all that I have and how far all of the Woolfolk descendants have come.
This experience illustrates the importance of family and community history. I believe people who understand the past have a better appreciation for what they have today and will feel a responsibility for continuing the legacy and making the future better for the next generation. As family and community historians we must continue to preserve the past and encourage the next generation to take advantage of all the opportunities afforded them.
July 1, 2012 at 9:59 am
Even then, family talked about preserving family history. Thanks for sharing this personal treasure.

Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro's newest venture seeks to breathe new life into an iconic Mexican holiday: Dia de Los Muertos.
The Book of Life, out October 17th, follows the adventures of a young man named Manolo, voiced by Diego Luna. In love with the same girl (Zoë Saldaña), as his charming best friend (Channing Tatum), Manolo must figure out how to win her heart -- and follow his dreams at the same time. What Manolo doesn't know is that the leaders of the underworld have made a wager on which of the two best friends will win the girl's heart. The bet ultimately plunges him into the fantastical and wonderful Land of the Remembered.
The vividly animated feature, produced by del Toro and directed by Jorge Gutierrez, brings Mexican tradition and South American folklore to life. The characters even resemble the handcrafted figurines available for purchase from street vendors and at markets throughout Mexico.
"It's art for the people, by the people, about the people," Gutierrez told HitFix about the work. "These are reflections of who we are. It's the kind of art that can be in a museum or it can be in your house... It's really accessible art."
"The movie is really a love letter to that type of art work," he continued. "It's very imperfect, full of texture, you can see the traces of the artisans' hands in these characters."
The Book of Life hits theaters October 17, 2014! Will you and your family be seeing it?

I was thinking about this recently.
Obviously, if we go back to the "old days", we'll get to the first ever paintball marker, etc...
But since YOU HAVE BEEN PLAYING....what markers have really changed the game (for better or worse)???
For example, since I've been playing (1999), I'd say the battle is between:
- Tippmann 98 Custom
- Smart Parts Ion
- Tippmann A5
And I gotta say the 98C wins....they probably are in the order I have them listed.
I mean, the 98C changed the game by making reliable, CO2 powered, easily upgradeable markers available for right $110 new. That was a huge deal. Before that, you'd have to buy Brass Eagle markers if you wanted to spend any less than $160...and those were mostly junk and hardly upgradeable.
So...what do you guys think? Marker, when you started playing, and why...

Beefsteak Henri IV
Be the first to review this recipe.
(Recipe ID: 737)
Serves 6
Preparation time: 30 minutes; Cook time: 20 minutes
Source: Chef Joseph Lowery
A splendid dish from classic French tradition. Although named for a asasinated French king, this faboulous recipe couldn't possibly have been connected to the crime. After the meat is cut and trimed and the sauce made, the cooking and assembly of the rest of the dish only takes about 20 or 30 minutes.
Items indicated with an astrisk (*) available for purchase in the Avanti Savoia store. See below to add these items to your cart.
- 6 1" Thick Filets cut from the tenderloin butt (the thick end of the filet)
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil *
- 6 Canapes (white bread shapes sauteed in clarified butter)
- 1/4 cup Dry White Wine
- 1/4 cup Beef Stock or Dark Brown Poultry Stock
- 6 Artichoke Bottoms
- Bearnaise Sauce (Avanti Savoia recipe)
- Trim and clean tenderloin and cut steaks or buy them already cut from a good butcher.
- Prepare Bearnaise sauce and set aside.
- Saute white bread shapes in clarified butter and place on a warm platter.
- Place butter and oil in a large heavy skillet. Heat over fairly high heat until butter foams and then begins to subside.
- Thoroughly dry the steaks on paper towels and then place them in one layer in the skillet.
- To cook medium rare, saute the steaks about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Remove steaks and set each one on a canape on the warm platter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour butter and oil out of skillet and add wine and stock. Boil the liquid quickly down to 3 or 4 tablesooons, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan as you go. This is called deglazing the pan.
- To serve: Place a canape and steak on each plate. Spoon a little of the deglazing liquid on each steak and then top with an artichoke filled with the Bearnaise sauce. Serve immediately.

NEW YORK — The Ottawa Senators are willing to listen to offers at the NHL draft, whether it involves moving up or down.
But at a Saturday afternoon briefing with reporters, general manager Bryan Murray said his phone hasn't been ringing.
"I put some feelers out to a different group of teams, talking about the possibility of moving — either way — and made a couple of proposals, but nobody's gotten back to me at this point," said Murray.
Short of a deal, the Sens are set to pick 17th in Sunday's draft at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
"We really believe at our spot, we have a chance to get a good player," said Murray.
Meanwhile, Murray said he had yet to start contract talks with agent J.P. Barry for 40-year-old captain Daniel Alfredsson, who has announced he wants to come back for another season. He is expecting a call, however.
The GM, who declined to talk about how long a contract he might consider, said he "had a feeling after talking to Alfie that he would probably want to try and play again for a period of time."
"I'm not overly surprised (he's returning)," added Murray. "I think he walked out of Ottawa at the end of year and looked in great shape, he looked healthy. He was excited about some of our young people on the team. Obviously, we're pleased he's made the decision to play again."
Asked about whether former Lightning star Vincent Lecavalier might be a good fit if the contract was right, Murray replied: "Vincent Lecavalier would be a good fit with most teams in the league at the right dollars. I haven't put any feelers out to anyone about it, however."
The return of Alfredsson hasn't changed Ottawa's off-season plans. Murray still looks to upgrade a team that managed to finish seventh in the Eastern Conference with a 25-17-6 despite a rash of injuries to its marquee names.
"We hope at some point in time through the summer we can maybe make an acquisition that can help the team," he said.
If Ottawa stays where it is in the draft, assistant GM Tim Murray indicated the team's scouting staff has four players targeted. Above that is another group of five that "we're hoping might be there. We're not expecting one to be there, but it's happened in the past."
The Sens have done their homework.
Pierre Dorion, Ottawa's director of player personnel, said the team has interviewed close to 70 players. And some have been talked to more than once.
"We're drafting hockey players. And that's the most important thing, what they do on the ice, what we think they're going to be," said Dorion. "But also along with the hockey part comes the individual that's going to be part of your family probably, hopefully, for the next 10 years. So I think it's good at a certain point just to get to know them a bit."

git-deltatool - Annotate commits for perldelta
# annotate commits back to last 'git describe' tag $ git-deltatool # review annotations $ git-deltatool --mode review # review commits needing help $ git-deltatool --mode review --type blocking # summarize commits needing help $ git-deltatool --mode summary --type blocking # assemble annotations by section to STDOUT $ git-deltatool --mode render # Get a list of commits needing further review, e.g. for peer review $ git-deltatool --mode summary --type blocking # mark 'pending' annotations as 'done' (i.e. added to perldelta) $ git-deltatool --mode update --type pending --status done
Indicates the run mode for the program. The default is 'assign' which assigns categories and marks the notes as 'pending' (or 'ignored'). Other modes are 'review', 'render', 'summary' and 'update'.
Indicates what types of commits to process. The default for 'assign' mode is 'new', which processes commits without any perldelta notes. The default for 'review', 'summary' and 'render' modes is 'pending'. The options must be set explicitly for 'update' mode.
The type 'blocking' is reserved for commits needing further review.
For 'update' mode only, sets a new status. While there is no restriction, it should be one of 'new', 'pending', 'blocking', 'ignored' or 'done'.
Defines the boundary for searching git commits. Defaults to the last major tag (as would be given by 'git describe').
Shows the manual.
It would be nice to make some of the structured sections smarter -- e.g. look at changed files in pod/* for Documentation section entries. Likewise it would be nice to collate them during the render phase -- e.g. cluster all platform-specific things properly.

What's wrong with the MacBook Air?
Apple shipped a few MacBook Air units to its retail stores Friday, leaving the scant supply to mainly serve as in-store demo units. While our SSD model remains on order pending shipment, we managed to snag the one of the few available HDD-based units from one of the company's San Francisco outlets and have set to work on an in-depth review of its ins and outs.

For quite some time now, we have been working in the background to try to make some educational knife skills videos for people trying to learn how to use Japanese knives. We have teamed up with Tatsuya Aoki and Mitsunori Ueda to produce these videos and finally have a few that are ready for you. We will be adding in English notes or voiceovers to these videos as they are produced to make the skill sets more accessible to you.
If you have questions about specific knives, techniques, skills, etc., please dont hesitate to ask. We will do our best to respond to these requests with videos and/or detailed explanations.
Anyways, without any further delay, allow me to introduce Japanese Knife Society.
Japanese Knife Society Mission
Can you use Japanese knives?
Japanese knives, or Wa-bocho, have been increasing in popularity over the past few years. Wa-bocho are some of the sharpest knives in the world, however, there are so few professional chefs outside of Japan that understand the knives potential and how to properly use them.
Japanese Knife Society (JKS) is an educationally oriented society. Working through the skill and experience of Chef Mitsunori Ueda, JKS aims to teach people about the different styles of Wa-bocho, how to use them, how to care for them, and what makes them special.
JKS hopes to positively contribute to the education of aspiring chefs, experienced chefs, and interested home cooks alike, through educational literature, pictures, blogs, videos, and events. Through JKS gears its educational material towards working chefs, it will be assessable to anyone with an interest in learning about Wa-bocho.
And now some videos:
First up, Ueda-san demonstrates how to break down Fugu (the type of fugu in this video is torafugu):
Here, Ueda-san shows how to use a Kamagata usuba to cut long onions (and chives for that matter):
And, in this last video, Ueda-san covers some of the basics of katsuramuki, using a cucumber and yanagiba (he used a yanagiba despite the fact that the proper knife is an usuba or kamagata usuba... he explained that often times sushi chefs do this as a matter of convenience and he was just concerned with demonstrating the proper techniques here... he will do another video covering the same with an usuba):

DAVIES, HUGH: Tapestries
Hugh Davies was a quiet pioneer. In 1964 he replaced Cornelius Cardew as Stockhausen's personal assistant and then on his return to England became a moving force in the first British electronic performance ensemble Gentle Fire, as well as joining MIC (with Derek Bailey, Evan Parker and Jamie Muir). Soon he was quietly turning up everywhere, but never joining any generic musical faction. He was also a walking encyclopaedia, a prolific author and a valued teacher, omnipresent in the worlds of electroacoustic music, instrument design, and sound art. Here, at last, is a CD of his electronic pieces, made between 1976-1987. The earliest, Natural Images, for concrete sound and tape manipulation, is the strangest; Celeritas, made on an early Fairlight is in the Davidovsky/Mumma vein, exploring Stockhausen's division of 28 semitones into 25 equal parts (no octave) and the idea of speed; Tapestries, made in an electronic studio for dance sets up an equipment chain and algorithms and manipulates them in real time; From Trees and Rocks uses concrete sounds of sawing and chiselling alongside manipulations of the saws and chisels used as musical instruments - a very unusual and enigmatic piece, and also I think the real gem of the collection - and finally, Vision, also using the Fairlight, follows Celeritas in its employment of bell-like tones and microtonality - even more obvious here, because taken more slowly. A varied collection and much appreciated. With a useful biography by David Toop.

LONGMONT -- What would you call it -- a food court on wheels?
Drivers on Hover Street on Saturday evening may have noticed an unusual sight, but they had better get used to it: From 5 to 8 p.m. each Saturday for the next several months, Twin Peaks Mall will play host to a gathering of food trucks.
"I'm guessing (this weekend's) might be a little hit and miss, since it's the first time -- working out the logistics and everything," said Jeremy Easton, operator -- along with Robyn Wooley -- of the Waffle Cakes food truck and the organizer of the event.
"I was just basically looking for places to set up," Easton said Friday. "We came across the mall and asked them if they had any interest in it and they did, so six months later here we are."
Waffle Cakes used to operate out of a tent but Easton and Wooley got their truck last July. Since then they've been participants in the weekly Monday night food truck gatherings in Prospect.
The Longmont couple's plans are one day to get a storefront and quit their full-time jobs (Easton is a computer engineer, and Wooley works full-time as a nurse). But until then they'll operate their food truck on nights and weekends as they can.
Through contacts they've made, they have found more than 15 other truck owners who have expressed interest in the Saturday evening gatherings, and they hope that list will grow. Ablaze, the Giggling Greek, Cheese Louise, Rolling Greens and Seb's Wood Fire Pizza are a few of the other trucks he's gotten commitments from.
The trucks will be set up near the former J.C. Penney building on the northwest portion of the mall property.
Asked about the 5 to 8 p.m. time, Easton said, "We polled all the trucks to find, 'What's your preference on time?' They preferred to be around a meal, lunch or dinner.
"Also, it would have ruled us out of the Boulder County Farmers Market if we were to do it around lunch."
Malaika Jenkins, marketing director for the mall's owner, NewMark Merrill Mountain States, said she's attempting to see if she can arrange for some bands to come play live music during the event each week, just as the organizers of the Prospect event do.
She said she hopes the event develops into something Longmont embraces, as the successful Monday night food truck events in Prospect have been.
"As far as (the mall) is concerned, we're still open, we're still active," Jenkins said. "Obviously, the plans (for redeveloping the mall) are moving forward but we want to make sure we continue to be a part of the community."

This requires a significant investment of time and money. But we think that this is both what our mission charges us to do and what the community wants us to do: save more lives.
I haven't written a blog entry for a couple of weeks because I have been busy with a grant application. Several months ago I put our name on a waiting list for a special ASPCA relocation program, and just recently got the green light to submit a full application. This may or may not turn into anything, but we thought it was worth a try.
Members of the Adair County Humane Society may be familiar with our relocation program from reading the annual newsletter. But other folks probably have no idea how many hundreds of dogs we save every year by transporting them to rescue organizations in other parts of the country. In 2012 alone we transported 598 dogs! This is above and beyond the number adopted from our shelter! This is a tremendous achievement!
Before I go any further, let me first say that adoption is our number one priority. If we could find homes in our area for all of the homeless animals at the shelter, we would be more than happy to do so. But it's not the case; there aren't enough adopters here to provide homes for all of the homeless dogs and cats. So we try hard to promote spay/neuter to limit the number of unwanted animals in the area, and we also work hard to transport animals from our shelter to rescue organizations in more populous areas where there is a greater demand for adoptable animals.
Our shelter manager (Missy) began our relocation program several years ago. The shelter was suddenly very crowded after state inspectors confiscated twenty dogs from a breeding facility and brought them to us. That's when Missy started making phone calls. With the help of a network of other animal welfare advocates, she was able to move these animals out of our shelter and to rescue groups.
In recent years her collaboration with rescue groups has been especially important for helping mama dogs and their puppies get through their first eight weeks together. If we can transport these animals together and guarantee them a spot in a foster home, we usually do it. This reduces the stress for mama and also frees up room in our shelter for other dogs in need.
Rescue groups tend to specialize in a particular breed of dog. A couple of years ago we arranged for several Beagles to travel to a rescue group in Colorado. Two rescue volunteers, a retired couple, drove their RV on a multi-state trip to save Beagles. One poor old dog who had been malnourished and tick-infested before coming to the shelter was one of the lucky ones to travel with them. He has since been adopted and is now living at a resort in Vail, Colorado. Must be nice!
We lose money on every dog we send to a rescue because we provide basic care (including de-worming and vaccines) before transport. Plus sometimes we have to drive the animals hundreds of miles to meet our contacts. This requires a significant investment of time and money. But we think that this is both what our mission charges us to do and what the community wants us to do: save more lives.
Which brings me to this grant. The ASPCA grant challenges us to transport even more dogs this month than we did last May. If we are successful, we will get a small stipend to reimburse us for some of our costs.
To be honest we could really use the money. The cost of food, medicine, and fuel continues to rise. And our treasurer is already starting to worry about next winter's heating bills. Support of our relocation program – whether it be from a large organization like the ASPCA or from local individuals who want to encourage us to save even more animals – is always welcome.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I just love driving down to Rochelle. There's such positive energy in the small city of 9,500 that you can feel it.
The reason was on display again this morning as "Team Rochelle" — that's what they call themselves there — hosted another grand-opening ceremony with a Japanese sake ceremony at which officials wore blue jackets and cracked open sake vats with mallets.
Before that was the ritual in which Japanese corporate officials, Gov. Pat Quinn and Team Rochelle leaders took part in a Daruma ceremony. They took turns coloring in the left eyeball of the Daruma doll, created in the image of the founder of Zen Buddhism.
The right eye had been colored in at the groundbreaking ceremony last year. It's all to wish great success to the new Nippon Sharyo U.S.A rail car factory. This was accompanied by Japanese musicians plucking stringed instruments I'd never seen before. Oh, and an American guy playing a wooden flute (I don't know why).
Nippon Sharyo opened Plants 1 and 2 in 2012, broke ground on Plant 3 in 2013 and opened it today. Nippon Sharyo is a major builder of passenger trains in much of the world. It's most famous, perhaps, for the bullet train, introduced 50 years ago in Japan. The company now makes a much faster version.
In Rochelle, the company is building rail cars for Metra, Chicagoland's commuter rail system; Caltrans, the California Department of Transportation; the Illinois Department of Transportation; and Amtrak. Some of the new cars will be used on Amtrak's Midwest trains out of Chicago, including the train to Rockford that Quinn announced in April.
"From 90 to 100 new jobs will be created by opening Plant 3," said Jason Anderson, Rochelle's economic development director, who just seems to bounce from groundbreakings to grand openings all the time. So where there were no buildings and no jobs on the empty prairie five years ago, there now are 400 jobs and, soon, 500 jobs.
"Nippon Sharyo has had a huge impact already, and now, I can't even measure what the impact will be," he said when we talked just before the celebration kicked off.
"Rail is back, and people are looking for transportation options. Nippon Sharyo made a wise investment putting its factory here in Rochelle in the center of America." The city features main lines of two transcontinental railroads, BNSF and Union Pacific, so it's easy for the company to ship rail cars anywhere on the continent by rail.
Because the U.S. requires all government-funded passenger rail cars to be made here — with 100 percent U.S. parts — the company's presence in Rochelle is also good news for suppliers of products and services throughout the supply chain in the greater Rockford area.
Rochelle is a job-creating fiend, with thousands of men and women from a five-county area streaming in to work every day. Curiously, though, people haven't flocked there to live, Anderson said, "because our infrastructure is so good they can get in and out of town quickly."
Team Rochelle is going to change that, too. They're about to launch a marketing campaign telling people that "Rochelle is not just a great place to get a good job. It's a great place to live, too," Anderson said.
Nippon Sharyo corporate leaders prefer elaborate ceremonies, but other companies would rather slip into town unnoticed, like the major trucking firm from out West that established its Midwest terminal in Rochelle recently, adding 300 jobs.
"We convinced them that with interstate highways 39 and 88 crossing here, it was the ideal location," Anderson said.
I don't mean to slight the old Forest City. Chicago Rockford International Airport is on a roll, and Woodward is building a major manufacturing facility in Loves Park. Transform Rockford is bringing our historic "We can do it" spirit back to town.
Forget the idea that Illinois isn't a good place to do business. If it weren't, all the new companies coming to the area haven't gotten the memo.
Northern Illinois has the location, the workers and the motivation to make things, and then move them by road, rail and air.
If it seems odd that I'm being so awfully cheerful today, chalk it up to the Team Rochelle spirit. We should all catch it.

Sale of a small piece of land at Middle Lake is voiding a courtroom battle over neighborhood access to a boat launch.
A lawsuit over the disputed access seemed headed for a jury trial after a Nov. 5 hearing in Lenawee County Circuit Court. Attorneys argued over a motion to dismiss the neighbors' claims against owners of the boat launch site.
"I say they are both logical and interesting perceptions, and I say let the people decide," Circuit Judge Margaret M.S. Noe said in ruling to send the case to a jury.
Adrian attorney Dale Smith later proposed selling a 30-foot strip of land with the boat launch in order to eliminate liability concerns for property owners Todd and Joann Aitchison.
The dispute began in 2011 after a lake resident had a contractor put stones at the boat launch site as an improvement.
The Aitchisons said they were told by state officials a permit was needed first and had the stones removed.
The excavation work affected the right of way for Twin Lakes Drive, causing the Lenawee County Road Commission to install erosion control fencing.
A lawsuit was filed, claiming the Aitchisons and road commission were blocking an established lake access.
Joann Aitchison said they never objected to residents using the boat launch, but were concerned about being liable for what others did to the lake shore.
A deed has now been signed, transferring ownership of the 30-foot strip of land at the center of the dispute, Smith said. An agreement to dismiss the lawsuit is being drafted by attorneys.
Road commission attorney Jeffrey Juby reported Thursday to his board that the order will contain some protection for the road if new owners of the boat launch plan improvements.
"If they're going to do anything with the right of way," he said, "they have to come in and show us so we can approve it."
Battle over access to boat launch at Middle Lake ends with land sale
Sale of a small piece of land at Middle Lake is voiding a courtroom battle over neighborhood access to a boat launch.
