On Monday, President Obama hailed the pioneers who in 1848 first fought for women's rights at Seneca Falls.
On Wednesday, Obama's Pentagon sent America's female troops charging up Hamburger Hill, metaphorically speaking.
Leon Panetta, the outgoing defense secretary, has decided that for the first time U.S. women troops will be eligible for front-line combat infantry or artillery jobs that have long been restricted to men -- first by tradition and after 1994 by official Pentagon policy, according to multiple news accounts.
The move will not be publically announced until Thursday and will take some time - possibly as long as three years -- to implement, but it's clearly a landmark event in the centuries-long fight for women's equality in America.
The move is also a bit of a mind-bender — effusively praised by many liberals who've also marched over the years to have fewer Americans of any gender waging front-line conflict overseas.
Timothy Lange, writing on the popular progressive blog Daily Kos, hailed the decision, noted that female soldiers have already been lauded for bravery under fire while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, but then added: "Now, if only we could engage in fewer wars for them and men in uniform to fight."
The irony, of course, is that as female enlistment in the armed forces has increased over the last couple of generations while U.S. military operations have expanded overseas, women have already engaged in combat - and died. In fact, it's estimated that roughly 20,000 women have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, with more than 800 wounded and some 130 killed.
Indeed, the story of America's post 9/11 military actions are laced with tales of "womanity," of bravery like Capt. Allison Black who — despite the restrictions — navigated a AC-130H gunship to fight off the Taliban in Afghanistan, and of loss like Cpl. Jennifer Parcell, who was making security checks in Iraq's Al Anbar Province and died when one exploded a suicide vest.
In the 1970s, the notion that a woman like Parcell would die in a war was a main argument of those who led the successful fight to reject the proposed Equal Rights Amendment.
Now, the decision to be announced by Panetta - opening up as many as 238,000 front-line slots that were once reserved only for men - is clearly a victory for equal rights, without the capital letters. It ensures that more female soldiers and sailors will win well-deserved promotions to combat leadership roles and ultimately to top brass.
It feels kind of kind of bittersweet that this is the biggest victory for women's rights in this generation — when we've devoted such little energy to ending the rampant spirit of militarism that has sent so many men and women into conflicts that have dwarfed World War II in length — wars that polls now show a majority of Americans think weren't worth it.
Maybe the thought of someone's daughter dying on the battlefield will make policy makers think twice before the next misadventure - but I seriously doubt it.
Ironically, it was the likely new secretary of state, Sen. John Kerry, who famously asked in 1971 after fighting in Vietnam: "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?"
Time marches on. Today, we can ask ourselves: How do you ask a woman to be the last woman to die for a mistake?

Bob Anderson, director of the Raptor Resource Project, passed away on July 27, 2015. We remember his legacy here.
This is not intended to be an absolutely complete list, please remember to use common sense—these are wild raptors with a natural fear of humans, let's keep them that way!!
Bald eagles can be very sensitive to human behavior, and what may seem innocuous to a human may disturb an eagle; humans are still the biggest threat to eagles. Remember, Federal law in the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Protection Treaty protects bald eagles.
Respect the landowners. Don't trespass or intrude on them in any way. Heed all No Trespassing signs.
Federal law requires you to stay at least 330 feet away from any nest. This distance is also true for individual eagles that may be perched on a tree or standing on the ground.
Use your car or a tree as a blind putting it between you and the eagles. They are less sensitive to those objects than a free-standing or moving human.
If an eagle stops what it is doing to watch you, you are disturbing the eagle—move on!
Be as quiet as possible. Don't honk, rev your engine, play loud music, shout or make any other loud noises.
If you see an eagle, consider yourself lucky. Don't do anything that might stress the bird. They will see you. Move slowly and carefully and keep your gestures restrained.
Do not feed the eagles in any way. This includes leaving food on the ground. These birds are wild and should not become dependent on humans.
If an eagle is on the ground, do not approach it. When it flies off, do not attempt to follow it.
It is illegal to possess any part of a Bald Eagle; this includes any feathers you may find. If you see a feather—leave it alone.
Be aware of your surroundings. If an eagle is near a road, check for traffic before moving. Your safety is important.
Binoculars and/or cameras will afford you the best view while visiting a nest.
Demonstrate eagle friendly actions by your own behavior. Be courteous to both other eagle observers and wildlife.
Keep the area free from litter. Pick up after yourself and take your trash with you.
Enjoy your visit to Decorah or to wherever you might go to view these magnificent raptors!!
Thanks to the UStream Decorah Eagles Chat Room Moderators for these guidelines
We encourage people to use non-toxic alternatives to lead shot and tackle. We sent several eagles to S.O.A.R last year with lead poisoning. Wildlife face a lot of dangers we can't do anything about, but this one we can! For information about lead-free hunting and fishing, check out:

The Decorah eagle nest was featured in a PBS Nature series program, "American Eagle," that premiered in November 2008. Filmed by cinematographers Robert Anderson and Neil Rettig in high-definition, the video is available on DVD and online.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Eagles' Nests
Mom and Dad have built three nests on the property, and we built one. N0 or the first nest, built sometime before 2006, was built by Dad and his original mate, OM. The location can be seen in the map above. N1 or the second nest, built largely or entirely by Dad and his current mate Mom, was started in late 2006. Mom and Dad left N1 in 2012 and started working on N2, about 500 feet away from N1. In July of 2015, N2 was destroyed in a storm. Neil Rettig came up with the idea of building a nest not far from N2's old location to see if the eagles would adopt it. Bob was thrilled by the idea, but passed away before it began. We named it N2B in Bob's honor.
How high is N2B? The bottom limbs are 70 feet off the ground.
How big is the nest? It was roughly 5 feet wide by 4.5 to 5 feet high when we stopped building.
How old is N2B? We built N2B in August of 2015. It is in its second season!
How high was N2? N2 was about 60 feet off the ground.
How big was N2? When the cameras were installed in 2013, N2 was about 4 feet across, 3.5 feet deep, and approximately 460 pounds in weight.
How old was N2? The eagles started building it in Oct. 2012. It was ready for the 2013 nesting season.
How high was N1? N1 was about 80 feet off the ground.
How big was N1? N1 was about 6 feet across, 5 feet deep; and weighed roughly 1300 pounds.
How old was N1? The eagles began building it in 2007 and used it to successfully fledge 14 eaglets. A previous nest close by fell when a windstorm broke one of the branches. They left N1 after the 2012 nesting season.
What is the area around the nests like?
The nests are in cottonwood trees on private property near the Decorah Fish Hatchery (operated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources), on the banks of the babbling waters of Trout Run in extreme northeast Iowa. N1 can be seen from the hatchery, but visitors to the hatchery should keep their distance from the nest tree, both to respect the private property where the tree is located and to avoid disturbing the eagles. Here is a ground-level video of the surroundings, taken in March 2010. This video shows the eagles' point of view.
Which is the male and which is the female eagle?
It is hard to tell the difference unless they are both on the nest. The female is larger than the male. This female has an arched ridge above her eyes that goes further back than on the male, and her eyes are surrounded by a greyish shadow; the ridge above the male's eye is shorter and seems a little closer to the eye. The male has a line around his eyes that makes them look "beady," and his head looks "sleeker" than the female's. Here is a bigreddiggy video about the differences: Telling the difference between Mom and Dad.
What is the history of this male and female eagle?
They have been together since the winter of 2007-2008. The female's markings at that time indicated that she was about 4 years old. The male was already mature in 2007. There is no way to know his age. Once an eagle reaches maturity at 5 years of age, there is no way to determine their age if they have not been tracked prior to turning 5. Here's a link to the feather changes that occur in an eagle's first years before they mature. Plumage Changes in Sub-Adults. They successfully hatched and fledged 2 eaglets in 2008, 3 in 2009, 3 in 2010, 3 in 2011, 3 in 2012, 3 in 2013, 3 in 2014, 3 in 2015, and 2 in 2016.
Transmitter studies
The Raptor Resource Project attached transmitters to six bald eagles: D1 from 2011, D14 from 2012, Indy from 2014, Four from 2014, and D24 and D25 from 2016. D14, Indy, and Four were all electrocuted: tragedies that raised awareness of the issue and led to greater protections on wires and poles from the companies that owned the lines. D1's transmitter stopped talking to us in 2014, although we have no reason to think she died. D25 was struck and killed by a vehicle.
Follow this link for maps of their travels, a video of D1's capture (includes Bob's happy dance!) and information about the transmitters we used: https://www.raptorresource.org/eagle-map/
Why are the eaglets called D##?
The first place is D for the Decorah, Iowa, nest site. Numbers following the D acknowledge the number of eaglets since 2008. For 2016, the eaglets will begin with D24. Traditional names can create an undue tendency to anthropomorphize. While the human emotion that may be attached to the eaglets is understandable, an alpha-numeric system for referencing them may help us distance ourselves to observe the wonder of wildlife and nature at work. This reference system will allow RRP to integrate their findings more easily with other researchers.

President Obama, after delivering a barbed inaugural address that focused on controversial social agenda items, plans to return to the economy in his State of the Union Tuesday -- but his prescription for growth is still at odds with that of the Republican Party, and many voters.
The president is expected to revive his calls Tuesday for government "investments" in infrastructure and education -- meaning spending.
While the recurring push, for Republicans, brings back bad memories of the stimulus law they opposed, White House economic adviser Gene Sperling told Fox News on Tuesday that closing the deficit "doesn't mean you pull back on everything."
"I don't think that laying the foundation for future growth (with research and highway spending) is anything to discount in any way," Sperling said. "What you need to do is be smart."
Obama on Tuesday night is expected to focus on economic growth, while acknowledging the need to close the deficit through a combination of budget cuts and tax increases.
"The core emphasis that he has always placed in these big speeches remains the same, and it will remain the same -- the need to make the economy work for the middle class," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
He declined to get into specifics, but said the speech will focus on "proposals that are necessary to help the middle class grow and to help the economy grow."
Carney pointedly countered House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, who a day earlier dismissed the idea that Washington has a spending problem.
"Of course the president believes that we have a spending problem," Carney said. Still, he said, "we need more investments that help the key industries of the 21st century ... take root here."
Striking the balance between energizing a still-shaky economic recovery and taking sincere steps to reduce the deficit, though, is tricky. If not careful, the president could further antagonize Republicans who say cutting spending should be priority No. 1.
If he calls for too much new spending, the president who claimed a decisive re-election victory in November could also find himself out of step with many Americans.
A Fox News poll released last week showed that 73 percent of voters say cutting spending would be more likely to help strengthen the nation's economy -- as opposed to just 15 percent who believe increasing spending would do the trick. Opposition to another round of stimulus also ran 2-to-1, according to the poll
The poll showed that out of 13 issues tested, more voters are "extremely" concerned about government spending than any other issue. Even a majority of Democrats -- 55 percent -- agreed that cutting spending is the way to help the economy. Ninety-one percent of Republicans held that view.
A recent Pew poll also showed the budget deficit rocketing up the list of policy issues people care most about. The poll showed the budget deficit coming in third on that list, behind the economy and jobs. The deficit even outranked "defending against terrorism" in the survey.
The president will have plenty of other hot-button items to weave into his speech. While an inaugural address, like the one delivered Jan. 21, is typically thematic and sweeping in scope, a State of the Union traditionally serves as a more practical, point-by-point policy agenda of the year to come.
Obama is setting the tone for both 2013 and his second term with his address Tuesday. That agenda already includes a push for new gun control measures -- covering universal background checks, and bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. The gun control measures face stiff resistance on the Hill, particularly in the House, but Obama's call for comprehensive immigration reform has gathered a more bipartisan following, with legislation being drafted by Democrats and Republicans in the Senate.
Obama may also touch on climate change and other issues left over from his first term.
But the deficit and the economy are unavoidable centerpieces for any Obama speech. Despite a seemingly slow-and-steady recovery in jobs, in the stock market and other indicators, the unemployment rate ticked back up again last month. And a Commerce Department report showed the economy shrank by .1 percent in the last quarter of 2012.
Meanwhile, Obama and Congress are scrambling to find a way to avoid automatic spending cuts poised to hit March 1 unless a deal is reached to replace them.
Obama, to the chagrin of Republicans, wants to replace those cuts with a blend of tax hikes and separate cuts. Republicans, citing the tax-hike concessions they gave during the fiscal crisis talks, are averse to more tax increases -- even if this time, those increases do not come in the form of rate hikes.
Stephanie Cutter, former Obama deputy campaign manager, said on ABC's "This Week" that an all-cuts package will "strangle our economy" and in doing so, jack up the deficit.
"This was an enforcement mechanism for Congress to come together, finally come together to pass balanced deficit reform, deficit reduction. These across-the-board cuts (are) not going to get us there," she said.
But Noelle Clemente, with the American Action Forum, told FoxNews.com LIVE that the claims of spending cuts so far are "full of budget gimmicks." Clemente said more spending is not the answer.
"We've seen that stimulus spending doesn't work," she said. "That's not the solution. ... We know that this is a long-term spending problem and it's driven by long-term spending. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security."

Thank you. I welcome the invitation to address the candidates, and am
honored to be part of this momentous occasion in their lives. To the
parents and families of the candidates for admission, I say thank you
for all of the support that you provided to these men and women, as they
pursued their law degree. To the candidates, I congratulate you on the
completion of this journey and wish you luck as you start out in what I
consider the most laudable of professions.
In a few minutes you will take an oath as an attorney. The oath
speaks to honesty, and to your responsibility to your client. You will
also take an oath as a Commissioner of the Superior Court. As such, you
have a specific responsibility as a representative of not only the legal
profession but the justice system itself.
Judges' Corner
I am certain that you appreciate the importance of the
attorney-client relationship, but one point in the preamble I just cited
may not stand out in your understanding of the new role you are about to
take on: officer of the court. You will be member of the legal
profession, you will be a representative of the justice system, but you
also will be an officer of the court.
In order to faithfully discharge those three duties, as the oath
requires, you should seek to better understand the role of the courts in
our society --- to appreciate the wisdom of the framers in establishing
the judicial branch as a separate and coequal branch of government.
Connecticut's early history included a period when the highest court
in the state was part of the legislative branch. In Connecticut, despite
the incorporation of the doctrine of separation of powers into the U.S.
Constitution, attempts to establish a similar regime in Connecticut
proved costly to some. In 1804, citizen Abraham Bishop promoted a state
Constitution that separated the three branches of government and defined
voting qualifications. Several justices of the peace, the judges of the
day, joined his effort. The response? They were removed from office.
Separation of the judicial function from the legislative function
sounds like a basic civics lesson, but it was a lesson that was not so
basic two hundred years ago. And even today it is not always clear how
to maintain that separation or even what the exact contours of that
separation are – or should be.
Seek to understand why separation of powers is still a matter of
public discourse. You need to be comfortable with the proposition that
separation of powers is not designed to promote governmental efficiency.
Rather, it was adopted to prevent the exercise of arbitrary power by any
one branch. That observation by Justice Jackson fifty years ago was made
as part of his essay on the Supreme Court in the American System of
Government. The accumulation of too much power in any one branch is a
threat to all. Efficiency may have its own cost, and that cost may be of
a constitutional magnitude. Notably, Justice Jackson also opined that
"It is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling
into error". You – as a citizen and as an officer of the court – may
actually find that your duty to the court and your responsibility as a
public citizen are easily reconciled – if you seek to understand the
role of the courts in our system of government and in our society. As
your understanding deepens, you will find yourself able to not only meet
the standards of the code of professional conduct, but to help to
achieve the ideals it embodies as well.
The doctrines of separation of powers and judicial independence are
closely related concepts. However judicial independence is often
misunderstood. It is not intended for the benefit of judges. It is not a
free pass for judges to do whatever they want without being held
accountable. Rather, judicial independence protects all of us and our
democratic principles. And, as attorneys, you have a special role to
play in protecting judicial independence. You must help us educate your
clients and the public, for ultimately they are the beneficiaries of
these efforts and the victims if we fail. In carrying forth this
obligation, you also strengthen the Executive and Legislative branches,
for only with three independent and vibrant branches does our government
work as the founding fathers intended.
You won't find the words "judicial independence" in the United States
Constitution. But make no mistake about it: Our forefathers intended
that our nation's judges be able to make decisions relying only on the
law and facts of a case, not whichever way the prevailing wind happened
to be blowing or on the whim of a monarch. Our forefathers had their
fill of King George III, who had made the colonial judges dependent on
him for their tenure and pay. So while you won't find the words in our
Constitution, this tenet is implicit in Article III, the "judicial
power" clause. That clause delegates to the judicial branch alone the
power to decide individual cases.
To quote James Madison: "If a declaration of rights was incorporated
into the Constitution, independent tribunals of justice will consider
themselves in a peculiar manner the guardians of those rights; they will
be an impenetrable bulwark against every assumption of power in the
legislative or executive" branch. He added that these tribunals "will be
naturally led to resist every encroachment upon rights expressly
stipulated for in the Constitution by the declaration of rights."
We have come a long way since then in the development of the
principles of separation of powers and judicial independence. But we
must be ever vigilant not to allow ourselves to take a step back from
those principles because the benefits to our society are too great to
lose. Judges able to take criticism coupled with systemic protections
insuring the independence of the decision making process have led to
some noteworthy advances in our jurisprudence and the protection of the
rights of the people.
Consider, for example, the case of a man accused of kidnapping and
sexually assaulting a young woman in 1963. You know his name: Ernesto
It fell to the U.S. Supreme Court, led by a former governor named
Earl Warren, to rule that the police had violated Miranda's
constitutional rights, a decision that rewrote this nation's arrest
procedure. Reaction? You bet. The Warren Court drew the ire of many,
including the John Birch Society, for this ruling and others; there were
"Impeach Earl Warren" bumper stickers and Warren Impeachment kits during
his tenure as chief justice.
This was one jurist, however, who knew his mission. He once said,
"Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for."
Chief Justice Warren, by the way, was the lightning rod who caught
"hell" for Brown vs. Board of Education.
Or consider federal Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr. You may not know much
about him, so please allow me to briefly summarize from his biography,
which is posted on the Presidential Medal of Freedom website:
In 1956, following the Montgomery bus boycott, Judge Johnson ruled
against segregated city buses and later was the first judge to order
names of qualified African-Americans added to county voting rolls. He
wrote the first statewide school desegregation decree, and outlawed
discrimination in Alabama's libraries and transportation centers. In
addition, Judge Johnson helped strike down literacy tests and opened
U.S. Route 80 for the Selma-to-Montgomery March.
Well, as you can imagine, Frank Johnson was not the most popular man
in Alabama during these turbulent times. In fact, a former classmate by
the name of George Wallace called him an "integrating, scalawagging,
carpetbagging liar."
More seriously, a band of teen-agers burned a cross on his lawn.
Worse still, someone set off a bomb under his mother's car port.
Someone once asked Judge Johnson why he kept making such unpopular
decisions. He answered, "You can't intimidate me. If you can be
intimidated, you don't have any business being a judge."
Thus, as I said, judges willing to make the decisions based only upon
the law and facts, free from outside influences and pressures advance
our unique concept of freedom and democracy.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is the essence of judicial independence.
It is the Earl Warrens and the Frank Johnsons, and every other federal
and state judge who make courageous decisions every day, oftentimes in
the face of great condemnation.
Once you take your oath it becomes your sworn duty as an officer of
the court to do your part to promote the understanding of our system of
justice, to seek to improve the law, access to the legal system, the
administration of justice and the quality of service rendered by the
profession. If you always remember those concluding words in the
Preamble to the Rules of Professional Responsible, that "[l]awyers play
a vital role in the preservation of society", it will serve you well.
Enough serious talk. In closing, I would urge you simply to savor the
rest of the day with your family and friends. This is a tremendous
accomplishment worth celebrating, and I hope that you do just that
because you certainly have earned every accolade you receive today. On
behalf of the entire Judicial Branch, I congratulate you and wish you
the best of luck in the years to come.

Chamber to honor leadership in education and business
On March 8, 1973, the Grand Island Chamber of Commerce will honor seven persons as Citizens of the Year. This annual dinner will be held at the Buffalo Launch Club and the public is invited.
It is interesting to observe that two of the recipients who may have had the most profound effect on Grand Island are not residents of Grand Island at all. Miss Veronica E. Connor is not a resident, but her career and education have been devoted to Grand Island students over a span of nearly four decades.
Mr. David Wylie is not a resident of Grand Island, but his promotional expertise and broad vision is putting together a 1,100-acre development in our community. ...
Miss Connor began as a schoolroom teacher in a "district" school. As Grand Island grew, she provided the leadership to develop additional ... schools as they were needed. ... Supervising an organization which provides the education of 4,500 students is an accomplishment that few have achieved. ...
David Wylie is the man who looked on the vacant acres along the shore of the east river and envisioned the future of this area as a huge development. It (River Oaks) is the largest private-enterprise project in Western New York. ...

Planners recommend Waterside Park plans
The Planning Board Monday agreed to recommend conditional approval of plans for the five-acre lot Waterside Park subdivision proposed on East River Road south of Winkler Drive.
Proposed by the developer are eight five-acre lots having about 175 feet of frontage each.
The planners in other action advised the Town Board that a section of right of way for South Park Drive (Sandy Beach) is no longer needed for highway purposes.
West of Greenway Road, the road end at one time was reserved for an extension of South Park Drive to Baseline Road, the Planning Board advised.

Isle business rates $500,000 RDC loan
Richard Crawford, executive director of the Economic Development Committee of the Grand Island Chamber of Commerce, has reported the Sun Fresh Juice Co., located in the Inducon complex on the Island, received a Regional Development Corp. loan in the amount of $500,000 to purchase production and make lease payments for filler equipment, plus provide working capital.
The loan will allow Sun Fresh to go forward and begin production, bringing anticipated employment from two to 52 employees over a three-year period, Crawford said, adding that the Grand Island Economic Development Committee was instrumental in locating Inducon on Grand Island. The complex consists of two 60,000 square foot buildings in the foreign trade zone on Lang Boulevard, he said. The 52 jobs will help in part to offset the loss, which resulted when Dunlop moved off the Island this year, Crawford said.

GI German shepherd competes at Westminster Dog Show
Blackjack, a Grand Island German shepherd owned by Islander Gary McDannell, competed at the Westminster Dog Show in Madison Square Garden on Feb. 11
In order to compete at the show a dog must be an American Kennel Club Champion of Record. Blackjack, whose AKC registered name is Ch. Alfaro's Dancer AOM, earned his Canadian Championship when he was 18 months old, and his American Championship at 2 years of age. ... At the Westminster Show Blackjack competed for Best of Breed with seven other German shepherds. ...
Blackjack was awarded the "Westminster Award of Merit" for his performance, and his sister (Ch. Rowland's Cure for Love) was presented "Best of the Opposite Sex Award."

Center provides new home for artists, second career for nursing faculty member
Karen Krupa shows some of the items in the Inner Banks Artisans' Center in Washington. Photo by Cliff Hollis, ECU News Services.
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Aug. 3, 2011) — Karen Krupa's former East Carolina University nursing students might have done a double take browsing in the Inner Banks Artisans' Center in Washington.
"They'll say, 'don't I know you from somewhere?' And I'll ask did you go to ECU?" Krupa said. "And then it hits them. Mrs. Krupa!"
Krupa, a retired longtime ECU nursing faculty member, and her husband Bob Henkel of Chocowinity have opened the artisans' center on Main Street in Washington. The center features art materials, acrylics, baskets, blown glass, books, fabric art, hand-poured chocolates, jewelry, mixed media, oil paintings, pencil, photography, pottery, quilting, sculpture, silk art, stained glass, string instruments, watercolor, woodwork and yoga.
It's a second career for both. Henkel is a retired businessman. Krupa returned to teach community nursing part time at ECU and is a part-time consultant at Pitt County Memorial Hospital.
"I have no artistic talent at all," Krupa said. "I'm hospitality."
The idea for the center came from a visit to the Bel Air Artisans Center in Rocky Mount. Henkel had a building and was looking for ideas for its use. "They said 'if you build it, they will come,' " Krupa said. "We came back here and Bob started drawing out plans. People started knocking on the door to see what we were doing and they told others."
The circa 1911 building, once a Woolworth's, has 6,000 square feet of first floor space that has been transformed into 18 working art studios with 80 juried artists from eastern North Carolina. The center is just down the street from the Turnage Theater.
Managing artist Jan Paysour arranges displays and juries artists. She also hosts a reception each month to highlight several local artists. She can count at least six ECU alumni who display and sell items at the center.
It's also home to Thursday night and Saturday morning jam sessions and Friday night open mic hosted by the Beaufort County Traditional Music Association. And Bobbi Jo's Coffee Shop is located at the rear of the building featuring fresh-squeezed lemon, lime and orangeades.
Krupa and Henkel opened in November 2009, erecting the walls just in time for the first Washington Art Walk. All the studios are full. "There is obviously a need," Krupa said. "The artists are here and so are customers. The artists are thrilled. They have a venue to sell their items."
Doris Schneider retired to Washington about three years ago. She taught theater arts and scene design at North Carolina Central University. She makes masks, jewelry and paintings, and rents a studio at the center.
"They've done wonderful things for Washington," Schneider said. "There are an amazing number of artists in this community and they've given us a home, which is wonderful."
Since finishing the ground floor last year, Henkel has plans to move up. On the second floor, he hopes to open a potting center with a recent donation of two kilns, an art classroom, and two art studios overlooking Main Street. The third floor's open plan has the bones for a dance studio.
While the economy has hurt artists' sales, Henkel hopes people will not put off buying beautiful handmade objects that can have an immediate impact on their psyche. "It really calms you. It does that for me," he said. "It's a great place to come to get a 'one of' item."
The center's summer hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday and until 9:30 p.m. on nights with live music. For more information, go to

Ohmygoodness! I'm so sorry that these photos are not the quality that I have dramatically improved upon. This was taken with my old point-and-shoot. One of these days, I'll re-shoot the recipe, because the mashed potatoes are really good.
I am so glad that I discovered Flat-Iron steak. Never had it? It's worth a try, because I consider that to be my low-budget Filet Mignon. After my sugar high from the Texas Chocolate Sheet cake that I baked, I had a sudden urge for grilled steak, potatoes, veggies and a green salad.
"The Pioneer Woman Cook's" published a new recipe for Potato and Corn Mash. What perfect timing! I had 1/2 of a red pepper I needed to use, some leftover chopped chives, and plenty of onions. All I needed were potatoes, so I decided to buy Yukon Gold's-- my personal favorite.
I raced off to my local butcher and bought two pretty steaks for $8.99 a pound:
These steaks are on a clear, plastic cutting mat, by the way...and not directly on my counter! I'm really careful about handling raw meat, and I was my hands a lot!
Tonight, I just seasoned them with Montreal Steak Seasoning.
I boiled the Yukon Gold's until fork tender-- about 20 minutes, drained them and set them back on the stove at a low heat...to evaporate any extra water. I don't like watery, soupy taters.
In the meantime, I chopped the red bell pepper, onion and grated some fresh garlic and sauteed that in a little olive oil:
As luck would have it, I had about two tablespoons of leftover reduced fat cream cheese, 2 Tablespoons of butter, about 1/4 cup of heavy cream and some whole milk. I added half of my corn (I happened to have a can of it waaaaaay back in my pantry) and mashed that with the potatoes, butter, cream cheese and (I would guess) a 1/2 cup, total, of heavy cream and milk. The potatoes were a little chunky, and I liked the texture a lot-- especially with the corn.
These sure looked like confetti, once I added fresh chopped chives. I was getting REALLY hungry!
I didn't get a good shot of the steaks, grilling in my cast iron pan. Pardon the unfocused shot, because my natural light was fading fast:
If I'm not using my outdoor Weber (and I much prefer that), I use my cast iron griddle and get it screaming hot! I cook these for about 3 minutes, on each side. I use a thermometer and cook it till 145F. I let the steaks "rest", under foil for a few minutes.
Perfect! Medium, just the way I like it!
The potato and corn mash was really good. I liked that I mashed these, by hand, and they were kind of chunky. This is definitely a side dish that I will make again and again.
The asparagus tips were locally grown, fresh picked for $1.49 a pound. What a deal! We love them, roasted, with olive oil, sea salt and fresh ground pepper. I set the oven at 450F and they were good to go in 10 minutes. A little squeeze of fresh lemon juice was perfect.
Heaven. I love flat-iron steak. My butcher always sells tender steaks. I hope that you can find this cut of meat. I fed my son (husband wasn't in the mood for steak) and myself for the 1/3 the price of ordering this in a restaurant. With this economy, that was an extra bonus.
Oh. I did have a fresh butter leaf salad with a simple vinaigrette. For dessert, my husband ate three pieces of the chocolate sheet cake I had baked earlier.
As for me? I followed through on my promise-- the rest of the cake was split between my husband's workplace and mine. It's all gone!
Seriously... I need to get back to a lot more fresh veggies and cut back on the dessert. I'm sure going to try! Then again, once I check out what's new in Food Blogosphere, I might not be able to resist.

Diesel prices this year are expected to average slightly less than they were last year and continue moving lower next year, according to a new forecast.
The U.S. Energy Department and its Energy Information Administration's new Short-Term Energy Outlook says the fuel, which was $3.97 per gallon in 2012, is projected to average $3.92 per gallon in 2013 and $3.76 per gallon in 2014. The expectation for this year is 4 cents higher than last month's forecast but remains the same for 2014.
At the retail level, EIA expects diesel fuel prices to be most affected by higher biodiesel blending yields. On Tuesday the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency finalized an earlier proposal requiring that 2.75 billion gallons of advanced biofuel, such a biodiesel, be blended into the U.S. fuel supply this year.
Gasoline Prices
EIA expects the regular gasoline retail price to average $3.59 per gallon in the third quarter of 2013, and the annual average price to decline from an average of $3.63 per gallon in 2012 to $3.52 per gallon in 2013 and to $3.37 per gallon in 2014.
It notes U.S. regular gasoline retail prices increased from an average of $3.50 per gallon to $3.68 per gallon over the first three weeks of July. Prices have declined over the past two weeks, reaching $3.63 per gallon on August 5. Isolated refinery outages and regional disruptions have contributed to greater volatility in regional gasoline prices across the United States this year. Some of the greatest volatility was again seen across the Midwest. EIA expects gasoline prices to slowly fall from their mid-July levels as crude oil prices begin to fall and the summer driving season comes to a close.
Oil Prices
EIA expects that the Brent crude oil spot price, which averaged $108 per barrel over the first half of 2013, will average $104 per barrel over the second half of 2013, and $100 per barrel in 2014.
After averaging $94 per barrel in 2012 and increasing to $105 per barrel in July 2013, the forecast West Texas Intermediate crude oil spot price averages $97 per barrel in 2013 and $93 per barrel in 2014. By 2014, several pipeline projects from the midcontinent to the Gulf Coast refining centers are expected to come on line, reducing the cost of transporting crude oil to refiners, which is reflected in a narrowing in the WTI price discount to Brent next year.
The full report is available from the DOE/EIA webiste.

GSA Network congratulates our colleagues at the Illinois Safe Schools Alliance who championed a safe schools bill that just became law in Illinois. On June 27, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed into law Senate Bill 3266, the Prevent School Violence Act, which defines bullying for the first time in Illinois law and explicitly prohibits bullying based on actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity/expression, as well as other personal characteristics. The bill also establishes the Illinois School Bullying Prevention Task Force.
The Illinois Safe Schools Alliance, which runs the Illinois GSA Network, has been working for over 12 years with the Illinois state legislature to address bullying prevention through the law. Finally their hard work has paid off. The new law is a critical step forward for the thousands of youth in schools across Illinois who deserve to attend safe schools where their administrators and teachers protect them from bullying and violence.

Consensus Report
Nuclear Forensics: A Capability at Risk (2010)Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Nuclear forensics is the examination and evaluation of discovered or seized nuclear materials and devices or, in cases of nuclear explosions or radiological dispersals, of detonation signals and post-detonation debris. Nuclear forensic evidence helps law enforcement and intelligence agencies work toward preventing, mitigating, and attributing a nuclear or radiological incident. This report, requested by the Department of Homeland Security, the National Nuclear Security Administration, and the Department of Defense, makes recommendations on how to sustain and improve U.S. nuclear forensics capabilities. The United States has developed a nuclear forensics capability that has been demonstrated in real-world incidents of interdicted materials and in exercises of actions required after a nuclear detonation. The report's authoring committee, however, raises concerns about the program and finds that without strong leadership, careful planning, and additional funds, U.S. nuclear forensics capabilities will decline.

Spyware is software that without your knowledge, can transmit personally identifiable information to other computers on the Internet, monitor your computer activities, and/or track what websites you visit. Typically spyware is bundled with other software you install from the Internet, but it also takes the form of tracking cookies that can be set when you visit a website.
To remove spyware, the department recommends Ad-Aware, Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware, and Spybot Search and Destroy. To be truly effective the anti-spyware software must be updated and run on a regular basis. It is recommended to use at least two of the afore mentioned software programs on a weekly basis. Another technique to limit spyware is to avoid using the Internet Explorer web browser as many spyware programs exploit features and security holes in IE. Alternative browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Opera may provide better protection against spyware. Another way to avoid spyware is not to download programs from suspicious sources.
Spybot Search and Destroy software can be downloaded in two forms: automated and user configurable. The automated version is set up so that after installing and rebooting the computer, the user doesn't have to worry about updating or running Spybot Search and Destroy. Each time the computer is turned on, Spybot Search and Destroy will update, run, and fix any discovered problems. Be advised that by choosing the automated version you will not have any control over the specific details of removing suspicious files and programs. However, you are able to view scan logs and recover removed Spyware by going to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy. While the configurable version requires the user to update and run the Spybot Search and Destroy software, the user has control over what problems that are discovered to be fixed. But remember if Spybot Search and Destroy is not updated regularly (recommended at least once a month), it will not be nearly as effective at removing spyware.
After you download the software, the setup is very simple and takes less then one minute. Double click the .exe and follow the instructions. When installation is complete, reboot your computer. Spybot Search and Destroy will then update, run and fix problems automatically every time you reboot your machine.
After you download the software, the setup is very simple: Double click the .exe file and follow the installation instructions.
After installation you can launch Spybot by clicking on the Spybot icon (located on the desktop) or by clicking start > All Programs > Spybot Search and Destroy > Spybot S&D. The first thing you need to do after installing the program is to update it immediately by clicking on the Update button located on the left side, then click on Search for update, choose all the options, then click download. Preferably you should check for updates at least once a month. The program will not be as effective at removing spyware if not kept up to date.
To scan your machine for spyware click on Search & Destroy located on the left side, then click check for problems located in the middle of the screen. It will take several minutes while your machine is being scanned for spyware.
When the scan finishes, a list of possible spyware will be displayed. Check the box next to those problems you wish to fix. Then click on fixed selected problems. The program will then attempt to remove the files you have selected. Normally you can safely remove all of the files. It is possible some useful files might be listed. If you are not sure, please contact the help desk before removing. Occasionally, a popup window will tell you some spyware can't be removed. The tool will then ask you if you would like to run it when you start up your machine next time. Normally you should click yes. The reason some of the files cannot be removed is they were loaded into memory and are being used by some application.
Click on the immunize button located on the left side to help block spyware in the future.
For additional information on using Spybot, you can visit the online tutorial.

County to purchase new phone system
RIDGWAY – Elk County Commissioners on Tuesday voted to approve a five-year deal with Zito Media for the purchase of a new phone system.According to Jim Abbey, director of the county's IT department, the switchover will do wonders and provide a higher level of service."We decided we wanted to go with a voice over IP system and we'll be able to save money almost immediately," Abbey said. "The return on the investment will probably be about two years, two and a half years tops."The current phone system utilized by the county recently hit its end-of-life date as well.

GR writes: "Reading through CEO Peter Moore's response to EA being nominated as the Worst Company in America it becomes apparent that all the complaining over the years has amounted to zilch. Nothing. Nada. It seems like every week there's a new discussion about why EA is the devil of the gaming industry. Shortly after, it hits the top of software sales charts with more than one title and drives revenue that keeps it growing like The Galactic Empire."
We could sit here all day on the internet and type out anti EA comments but that doesn't stop the average gamer from buying BF4 and other EA software
Moore stated in his post yesterday that 45 million users are now registered to the service. It looks like EA won that battle.
Wait you have to register either way if you want to see your stats from games??.So yea...not exactly 45 mil.
Only reason Simcity sold is because it was a long requested sequel same for Diablo 3. Just look at Crysis 3 and Dead space 3 those games didnt have such favorable sales numbers.

The Greatest Game
Purchase at Amazon.com
Purchase at Barnes & Noble
"The Greatest Game is a rare and much-needed addition to the Yankee-Red Sox catalog. Richard Bradley's reporting is full of emotion but nonpartisan, precise but passionate. He transforms the story of a game, and the men who played in it, into the best kind of history lesson, as meticulous as it is entertaining." -- Mark Kriegel, author of Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich; national columnist, FOXSports.com
"I thought I already knew everything about this game, but Richard Bradley has mined the mountain of Yankee-Red Sox lore and found new gold." -- Dan Shaughnessy, author of Senior Year: A Father, A Son, and High School Baseball; sports columnist, The Boston Globe
"We've seen it, the implausible Bucky Dent home run. Now we get to live it. Such is Richard Bradley's mastery of biography and baseball that I found myself hoping Dent's fly ball fell into Yaz's glove even as I hoped it disappeared behind the Green Monster. This is baseball history at its vivid best." -- Dave Kindred, author of Sound and Fury: Two Powerful Lives, One Fateful Friendship, a dual biography of Muhammad Ali and Howard Cosell
"As The Great Rivalry intensifies, the legends are reborn and the heroes come alive again, especially in Bradley's vivid retelling of the amazing finale to a thrilling season." -- Robert Lipsyte, author of Heroes of Baseball: The Men Who Made It America's Favorite Game
"The Greatest Game is a spellbinding, page-turning re-creation of a great rivalry, a great season, and a great game, which makes it a great sports book. But it is also on a micro level an often moving exploration of the men who played the game and on a macro level an incisive examination of baseball in the 1970s and, to the extent that baseball is the national pastime, of America generally at a time of change -- which makes it a terrific cultural history." -- Neal Gabler, author of Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination

By Adam Lauricella
I woke up Saturday and prepared for work. Grabbed my coffee and went through my other daily rituals then settled in at the tattoo parlor; I realized I wasn't scheduled to work. I thought I should stay and most likely I'd pick up a few walk ins. Like millions of other people, I looked at my Instagram feed. There was a post from Chris Grosso of Tattoo Age and Vice.com. It simply said, "Come up to Newburgh for Thom deVita's open studio 11-5." For those that don't know; Newburgh is just about 20 minutes from me. I guess I would scrap the walk ins and head over to the open studio. Although Mr. deVita lives in Newburgh I have never reached out to meet with him…
Largely in fear that someone I've admired for quite some time would be unresponsive to me requesting a visit. This was my chance to meet this legend. I went to see his showing with my wife Keely and fellow tattooer Joe "Pepper" Maher. It was really intense seeing him and a large selection of his work on the walls. There was nothing pretentious about the show. In fact the walls weren't prepared in the classic sense (stark white walls and focused lights). One wall was green like the flesh of a lime. The other was a poorly primed white wall, the remains of royal blue bleeding through. It looked like an empty apartment after college had let out for the summer. For some people hanging their work, that might have mattered. However, I don't know if it did for Thom. There were no apologies. For those of you who know deVita's work it can be primal, archaic and crude. But it's beautiful and calculated and has an esthetic weight to it that may, at times, be overlooked.
I also was lucky enough to have an opportunity to meet and talk with another artists whose work inspire me, the great Scott Harrison. Scott and his work have always had a magical quality to me. In fact, I have a pencil sketch of Scott's in my parlor and look at it everyday. Even though it's nothing more than lead pencil on wrinkled up tracing paper it is an important piece of my art collection. Scott was approachable and warm. Having such a close relationship with Thom, Scott seemed to have a sense of pride in Thom, his body of work and the open studio.
As of late I have found myself in some weird head space, both as a tattooer and a visual artist. It's something I'd rather not get into publicly but it is worth mentioning. I think in some odd way my encounters with Thom deVita were a life line of sorts. I'm inspired by our conversations and I now have a different perspective of things in my life as a maker of things. It was a gift to spend a few hours with Mr. deVita. In fact, the following day…I went back. I had a few more hours of nearly uninterrupted conversation. I listened as he told me stories of his time with Mike Malone, his disgust for comic strips and his love of duplication. There's a special place in his heart for panther images and his eagle stencil. We talked about inspiration and what he thought art was.
He gave me a glimpse into what he hoped his legacy would be. Mr. deVita helped me to uncover things I already knew, things I never even thought to consider. We sat on an elevated windowsill like two friends fishing on a dock. We were flanked by empty clementine crates and discarded sweet potato boxes that now spill over with stencils and stamps; images of daggers and panthers opposite the crucifixion and the sacred heart. Tattoos are re-purposed and hung on the wall. There were also two black portfolios stuffed with rubbings and paintings and reminded me of an old man's wallet crammed with years of whatever it is he did.
When you're with Thom; if you are present, if you are still, he is open. There was a good deal of self-reflection for Thom deVita, which I suppose you might expect from a man, now 80 years old who has committed his life to making art, tattoo or otherwise.

Ongoing Patent Fights Mean Startups Are Now Wasting What Little Money They Have At The Patent Office
from the not-cool dept
Unfortunately, it appears that not all startups are working that way. With Yahoo's patent fight against Facebook getting so much attention these days (not to mention other big patent fights involving companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, Oracle and others...), it seems that startups are (rather reluctantly) spending a lot more time (and money) at the Patent Office.
This is, to put it mildly, crazy. The two biggest scarce resources for startups are time and money. Throwing them away on getting patents is a huge waste, and it's main purpose is to act as insurance against failure or against jealousy over extreme success. Basically, most patents are completely useless. But if a company is failing, then perhaps it can sell off its patents. And, if a company is succeeding, then suddenly others will start suing it for patent infringement -- and the hope (rarely realized) is that having at least a few patents in the portfolio means that other practicing entities won't sue for fear of getting sued back (patent trolls are exempt from this, however).
It's really too bad that the state of the patent world today is such that are most innovative companies are basically forced to throw away time and money to apply for patents they never want to use.
One separate aside on this story. The article talks about the Twitter IPA agreement, and later quotes the founders of the startup Everyme as saying they support the IPA, but: "their first three apps were already with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office by the time IPA was available, though, and they don't plan to refile them." This sentence makes no sense. The IPA has nothing to do with the USPTO and the patent filing. It's merely a part of the assignment agreement, leaving some portion of control with the inventor. In fact, Twitter -- who does have some patents -- has said that it's using this agreement retroactively with patents that were applied for before the IPA existed. So there's no reason to refile the applications at all. In fact, the IPA is entirely separate from the actual patent application.

The former Chairman of the Federal Reserve revolutionized physics.
I formally propose that Alan Greenspan, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve, be considered for the Nobel Prize. Not for the prize in economics, a field in which Mr. Greenspan has shown a very limited grasp, but for the prize in physics. His remarkable accomplishment is related to the invention of the world's first perpetual motion machine.
Many physicists (and a few economists) claim that a perpetual motion machine is impossible, but Mr. Greenspan simply shrugs them off, retorting that their "representation of reality is at fault" and insisting that all his speaking engagement fees are paid for in gold. The perpetual motion machine, which Mr. Greenspan spearheaded against all odds, works according to the following principle.
Countries with substantial trade surpluses with the US (China, Japan, Korea) realize the importance of the American market as the outlet for their export-oriented growth model. In order to maintain favorable conditions and perpetuate this paradigm, these countries have established the largest buyer-financing scheme in history, which is putting credit cards to shame. By buying American liabilities (mainly bonds and treasuries) the flow of capital from Asia has helped maintain the value of the US dollar. This – in conjunction with low interest rates pushed by the Federal Reserve and lax credit – propelled the inflation of American assets, mainly real estate. In view of the growing paper value of their assets, consumers have been encouraged to borrow against them. Consequently a large share of this borrowed money went into consumption. Home equity loans were taken to pay for credit cards, which were used to pay for cheap imports.
In addition to his work on the perpetual motion machine, Mr. Greenspan's contribution to literature should also be considered for this prestigious award. Notably his invention of a completely new language called FedSpeak. Linguists are consistently amazed by this language's ability to say absolutely nothing while maintaining an illusion of substance, authority and foresight. FedSpeak has now become the standard language of central banks and many governmental agencies. Mr. Greenspan is, however, engaged in a legal battle with the estate of the novelist George Orwell over allegations that FedSpeak is flagrant plagiarism of NewSpeak.
Following in Greenspan's footsteps, the current Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, is also fully committed to revolutionary advancements in physics. An expert on the Great Depression, Bernanke – whose theoretical knowledge about economic hard times is becoming more practical with each passing day – is expanding the technology of the perpetual motion machine with his principle of anti-gravity and is currently applying it to financial leveraging (or bailouts).
If this machine is ultimately successful it will truly be possible to create wealth out of thin air and an era of never-ending prosperity will unfold. The Central Bank of Zimbabwe, however, is contesting Mr. Barnanke's claim, stating that it has been actively involved in the experimentation of this radical technology for several years with stupendous results. But while every citizen of Zimbabwe is now a multi-billionaire, nobody is wealthier for it. When contacted to comment, Mr. Invisible Hand stated that contrary to popular and political doctrine, there is no free lunch and that people should live within their means, save for a rainy day and stay away from Ponzi schemes. He also stated that currencies are too serious a matter to be left in the hands of central banks.

OAKLAND, N.J. – Oakland police revived two overdosing drug users in less than a day with Narcan.
Responding to an emergency call at a Riverside Drive home just before 10 p.m. Tuesday, Acting Sgt. Ryan O'Keefe and Officers Gary Fiore and Joseph Noury found an unresponsive 40-year-old Haskell man in the bathroom and a woman trying to revive him, Lt. Christian Eldridge told Daily Voice.
O'Keefe administered two doses of Narcan and he "began to breathe on his own and later started to speak," Eldridge said.
The Oakland First Aid Squad took him to a local hospital for further treatment and evaluation.
Just after 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, O'Keefe and Fiore responded to the Ramapo Lodge Motel on Ramapo Valley Road, where O'Keefe revived a 45-year-old Roxbury Township man with two doses of the anti-opioid nasal spray, the lieutenant said.
"Drug evidence was collected and removed from the scene and the man was transported to a local hospital for further treatment," Eldridge said.
Officer Don Harvey assisted, he said.

Chuck Stevens Named GM CFO
John Stapleton to become North America CFO
DETROIT – General Motors today named Chuck Stevens as executive vice president and chief financial officer, effective Jan. 15. He replaces Dan Ammann, who becomes company president on Jan. 15. Stevens was previously CFO of GM North America.
In his new position, Stevens will be responsible for leading the company's financial and accounting operations on a global basis. He will report to Mary Barra, who becomes GM CEO on Jan. 15.
"Chuck's extensive experience in leading finance operations and driving profitable growth all around the world makes him the perfect choice to help our team drive GM's global performance to new heights," said Barra.
Stevens, 54, became CFO of GM North America in January 2010. In this position, he led GM's financial operations for U.S. Sales, Service and Marketing, GM Canada, GM Mexico, North America Manufacturing, Customer Care and Aftersales, and Global Connected Consumer. He was also interim CFO of GM South America from December 2011 to January 2013.
Stevens previously held leadership positions in China, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand. He began his career at Buick Motor Division in 1983.
"The plan is to build on the good progress made by the finance team in driving the right business decisions," said Stevens. "I look forward to working with the GM team to drive even stronger business results."
John Stapleton, currently CFO of GM Global Manufacturing, will replace Stevens as CFO of North America. He will report to Alan Batey, who becomes executive vice president and president of GM North America effective Jan. 15. Stapleton, 45, has more than 24 years of financial experience at GM.

Forest restoration dollars will create jobs
The Colville National Forest was recently tagged for a federal restoration grant that may provide as many as 258 jobs in Stevens and Ferry County. The $968,000 grant will fund restoration work on an area of nearly a million acres in Ferry County, according to the Northeast Washington Forestry Coalition.The Northeast Washington Forestry Coalition (Coalition) worked with the Colville National Forest to secure the grant from the federal Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP), the program that will fund restoration projects in 13 states, including the Colville National Forest. The CFLRP was funded by Congress to try new approaches to efficiently expand the amount of restoration work on public lands. The Coalition deemed the nearly $1 million grant a "game changer.""This is exactly the news we needed," said Ron Gray, Vice President of the Northeast Washington Forestry Coalition. "We worked very hard to get this grant and our success [in obtaining the grant] says a lot about the quality of the collaborative process. We're very thankful to many state and federal elected officials who spoke up on behalf of our proposal."Stepping upThe grant award, which was also applauded by Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, will help protect private property from wildfire, restore water quality and fisheries and control invasive plants. Decommissioning old logging roads and removing small diameter trees will also be addressed by the grant."I appreciate the Forest Service stepping up on be¬half of Eastern Washing¬ton," said McMorris Rod¬gers. "This definitely builds our confidence going for¬ward."Colville National Forest Supervisor Laura Jo West said she is also excited about the work the grant will fund."This is great news for the communities of this area," said West. "With this fund¬ing, we can generate a lot of quality jobs doing major projects to improve forest habitat, restore watersheds and reduce wildfire risk around communities."The ongoing collaboration between the Colville Na¬tional Forest and the North¬east Washington Forestry Coalition has not gone un¬noticed, since the Coalition has received national recog¬nition for accomplishing more than two-dozen pro¬jects on the CNF in the last eight years. The projects helped to improve forest health and wildlife habitat, while improving community safety and generating jobs for local mills, the Coalition said in a press release. "These investments in re¬storing America's forests will provide real benefits that we breathe, drink and feel in our everyday lives," said Laura McCarthy of the Nature Conservancy. "By supporting these collabora¬tive projects, the Forest Service and Congress are directly helping Americans in their lives and liveli¬hoods."For more information about the project, visit http://www.fs.fed.us/resto¬ration/CFLR/


text: Goes without saying that this is terrible news for not just AB supporters but fans of the game in general. Been a difficult year for Carter with a quite a long injury layoff during Super Rugby and his form not quite reaching the standards we've come to expect. Then hes missed every second AB test this year anyway (Fiji, South Africa, Japan, now Canada and obviously the remainder of the tournament). Places a lot of pressure on Slade and Weepu - I'd have gone with Weepu but the selectors seem intent on Slade. I imagine Cruden will be called up as replacement; hes had an excellent ITM Cup but to expect him to contribute anything besides at training is asking too much of a player at this stage of the tournament.

Kevin Duffy: New rules throw men's basketball into foul mood
STORRS -- You can't start a college basketball column without the obligatory Southern Utah vs. Morehead State reference.
You know what I'm talking about.
Maybe not.
In case you've been living under a rock, here's a reminder: Morehead State and Southern Utah "led" the nation in fouls a year ago. The Eagles of Morehead committed 24.7 per game while the SUU Thunderbirds were guilty of 23.3.
They didn't play each other, fortunately, because they would have combined for 48 fouls and one brutal basketball game.
Now consider this: On opening night this past Friday, there were 37 Division I games -- 37!! -- with 48 or more fouls. And I'm not counting Saturday's 73-foul, 102-free throw thriller between Seton Hall and Niagara. Or the 64-foul classic between Hartford and Quinnipiac at the Webster Bank Arena.
On opening night alone, 27 percent of games were interrupted more than 48 times. So far, 100 percent of the games I've seen have been adversely affected by the new hypersensitive hand-checking rules.
"They're calling a lot of fouls," said UConn coach Kevin Ollie, whose team has been whistled for 45 through two games. "A lot of teams have been going zone. I'm pretty much a man-to-man coach, but you need to have that zone in your back pocket."
Rules are rules and players must adjust. Or referees must adjust. Because this cannot continue.
"I knew it would make a dramatic change," UConn guard Ryan Boatright said. "Sometimes, I feel like it could slow down the game because there's a free throw after every possession."
The rules were implemented in part because the average score in Division I dropped to 67.5 points per game last season, the lowest since 1981-82. The logic is this: Calling touch fouls, forcing teams to play less physical defense will make it far easier to score on dribble penetration (duh). And the assumption is that people want to see more scoring.
That's where this whole concept is flawed.
There was nothing wrong with college basketball before. There weren't many 90-85 games, but why is that a bad thing? College basketball is the greatest sport on earth because of the passion, the energy and the scrappy, physical nature of its games. I don't consider basketball a non-contact sport. And I don't think the NCAA is doing the sport any favors by making it one.
I do think one side will eventually give, but I'm not sure who it'll be -- the players or the officials. All I know is that last night's Michigan State-Kentucky game included 46 fouls and an endless loop of whistle, eye-roll, whistle, eye-roll. Afterwards, ESPN's Bill Simmons tweeted, "Congrats to Michigan State for winning the first game of tonight's Touch Foul Classic."
A friend of mine, a huge hoops fan, texted me Wednesday afternoon: "I watched LSU and UMass. Both teams were in the bonus with 11 minutes left!! And now West Virginia and Virginia Tech are in the bonus with 13:50 to go!!"
That Virginia Tech-West Virginia game ended 87-82, the type of shootout you'd think fans love. But there were 53 fouls and 71 free-throw attempts. You might as well have watched Southern Utah and Morehead State.
Jay Bilas, one of the most respected voices in college basketball, has long been an advocate of the rule changes. On a recent ESPN conference call, Bilas said college games had turned into "organized wrestling matches."
"They've been teaching fouling as strategy simply because the referees will not call it," Bilas said.
To be fair, I don't support "organized wrestling matches." When a player is smothered on the perimeter, I want a foul called. And surely there were times last season when I thought, "How is that not a foul?"
But sitting at home Monday night, I was baffled by some of the whistles. Forearm on a post player battling for position. Stop the game. A finger on the jersey during dribble penetration. Hold on. Take it out of bounds.
That's not the game I grew up playing.
And it's certainly not the way games are officiated in high school or self-officiated on the playground, which is why this transition might not be so smooth.
"Coming up with (Jim) Calhoun it was always `stop them from getting in the lane,'" Boatright said.
Not anymore.
"The main way you get a lot of those fouls is if you're late on closeouts," Boatright said. "If you're late, your automatic instinct is to throw your forearm out there."
"I just hope our guards stop the ticky-tack fouls," Ollie added.
It's clear that we're all hoping for a more fluid game. But for UConn, you could argue this fragmented, frustrating version of basketball works in its favor. The Huskies have Shabazz Napier, a master at exaggerating contact with herky-jerky maneuvers (he learned from the best in Kemba Walker). They have reliable free throw shooters in the backcourt and, once again, an intimidating shot blocker up front. Amida Brimah has already swatted 10 shots, and Ollie thinks he could have had more if not for those ticky-tack fouls by the guards.
The Huskies also have Niels Giffey, who is shooting like Ray Allen and learning to ease up on his rugged defense (which, remember, made him a rotation player on that 2011 national championship team).
"It's just something you have to get used to," Giffey said. "When January and February come around, I don't think anybody is going to talk about it anymore, to be honest."
After a long pause, Giffey added a final thought.
"And one thing," he said, smiling. "Right now I'm not even too worried about it because if I get beat, I know Amida is going to block it."

The Verge reports that Vizio will be one of the first companies to produce a tablet powered by NVIDIA's new Tegra 4 chip. Details are limited at this time, but the device will feature a 10-inch display with 2560 x 1600 resolution, and it will run a "bone stock" version of Android 4.2 Jellybean. Other specs include 32GB of internal storage, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, front and rear cameras and the standard set of connectivity ports.
Pricing was not revealed, but Vizio is known as a value brand. We would hope that Vizio would be able to match the $399 starting point of the Samsung Nexus 10 tablet, but we don't know how Tegra 4 devices will be priced yet. Exact availability was not announced, but Nilay Patel of The Verge reports it should ship sometime in the second-half of 2013.
Matt McRae, Vizio CTO, says, "We looked at what people were buying and commenting on [...] and we came to the conclusion that the Android UI has come along far enough that the stock Android UI is [best for] a superior device."
Vizio also revealed they would go head-to-head with the Nexus 7 and sell a 7-inch tablet that is powered by Tegra 3. Exact pricing and availability details for that device were not revealed.
We have seen Vizio produce a number of Android tablets in the past, but they featured an older version of Android with an ugly skin running on top. It will be interesting to see if Vizio can gain some traction this time around with a series of new devices powered by the latest version of stock Android.
Hit up the source link for additional hands-on pictures and a short video, and let us know what you think in the comments below. What would you be willing to pay for a high-end Android tablet powered by Tegra 4?
