After announcing it will not join an industry-wide accord on factory safety in Bangladesh, the world's biggest retailer announced its own safety initiatives - and a list of factories banned from its supply chain...
|Scooped by EcoVadis
EcoVadis's comment, June 1, 2013 8:27 PM
Our experience at EcoVadis, shows that yes, it is possible to have such impact. However, our general approach would rather focus on prior engagement (not blacklisting). For example, we offer our clients to set Corrective Action Plans with their suppliers. This said, regarding the Rana Plaza incident, yes, filtering and disengagement should have remained a priority.

My donation was credited on 12/28. It's unlikely that the check I mailed got from my current location to the P.O. box by 9/28. If, as it appears from this, Phade checks the box quarterly, it's probably not a good idea to mail your check after the start of the 4th week of March, June, September, or December if you want it credited with any especial speed.
I donate once a year and each time I noticed that processing my mail-in check to Phade does seem to take longer and longer. It's been over a month, on March 21, when I mailed in a donation check. My profile still shows a Donation Due notice and I don't think it has cleared the bank, yet. I PM'd Phade just to follow up on my status and check if he received my payment. I figured he only checks his P.O. Box only occasionally so this confirms my suspicions. Thanks for pointing this out, Kai. I'll remember for next year.

Judy Collins will perform Friday, Feb. 22, at Rockwell Hall Performing Arts Center, 1300 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo. The all-ages show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are now on sale, and available at buffalostatepac.org, by phone at 716-878-3005, or at the Rockwell Hall Box Office
Collins has thrilled audiences worldwide with her unique blend of interpretative folksongs and contemporary themes. Her impressive career has spanned more than 50 years. At 13, Collins made her public debut performing "Mozart's Concerto for Two Pianos," but it was the music of such artists as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, as well as the traditional songs of the folk revival, that sparked her love of lyrics. She soon moved away from the classical piano and began her lifelong love with the guitar.
In 1961, Collins released her first album, "A Maid of Constant Sorrow," at the age of 22, and began a 35-year association with Jac Holzman and Elektra Records. She interpreted the songs of fellow artists - particularly the social poets of the time, such as Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs and Tom Paxton. She was instrumental in bringing other singer-songwriters to a wider audience, including poet/musician Leonard Cohen and musicians Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman.
Collins is also noted for her rendition of Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" on her 1967 album "Wildflowers," which has since been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Winning "Song of the Year" at the 1975 Grammy Awards was her version of "Send in the Clowns," a ballad written by Stephen Sondheim for the Broadway musical "A Little Night Music."

Planned Giving
How can you make a lasting difference?
Include Catlin Gabel in your will or living trust.
Many people find that they can best support Catlin Gabel by including the school as a beneficiary in their will or living trust. Planned gifts ensure the financial health and longevity of the school. Alumni and friends who include Catlin Gabel in their estate plans are eligible for membership in the Ruth Catlin and Priscilla Gabel Legacy Society.
To discuss a planned gift to Catlin Gabel, please contact Miranda Wellman, director of advancement, 503.297.1894 ext. 398.
Ruth Catlin and Priscilla Gabel Society
The Ruth Catlin and Priscilla Gabel Legacy Society recognizes people who have named Catlin Gabel in their will or in another type of estate plan arrangement. Gifts to the Ruth Catlin and Priscilla Gabel Legacy Society become a permanent part of the school's endowment, ensuring that Catlin Gabel's tradition of academic excellence will continue.
Legacy society members are honored guests at school events, receive regular information from the school, and are recognized on the donor wall in the Cabell Center Theater, as well as on the school's website. You can also choose to be an anonymous member.
When should I consider making a planned gift to Catlin Gabel?
When you are interested in furthering Catlin Gabel's mission, reducing your taxes, or possibly even increasing your income.
How can I make a gift with the greatest tax benefit to my family?
A charitable remainder trust can provide you with the greatest tax benefit by giving you an immediate tax deduction, helping you avoid some capital gains tax, and potentially increasing your lifetime income.
Is cash the best way to give?
Cash may be the easiest way to give to Catlin Gabel, but it is not always the most beneficial to your personal finances. You should contact your financial advisor or the development office at Catlin Gabel to find out which type of gift is the best fit for your family.
Which type of gift helps me avoid the tax on capital gains?
If one of your goals is to avoid capital gains taxes, a gift to Catlin Gabel of appreciated stock (that you have held for at least one year) might be the best way to accomplish this.
Is there a way to pass on assets to my heirs while keeping my taxes low?
Yes. Establishing a charitable lead trust allows you to give a gift to Catlin Gabel and transfer your assets to your heirs later with significantly reduced tax implications.
Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable gift annuity (CGA) is a contract between the donor and the school. A CGA offers fixed payments for life. The donor contributes cash or marketable securities to Catlin Gabel in exchange for Catlin Gabel's contractual promise to pay the donor and another annuitant, if desired, a guaranteed income for life at a rate based on the age(s) of the annuitant(s). Catlin Gabel asks that you give a minimum of $25,000 to establish a charitable gift annuity.
A deferred gift annuity is another form of charitable gift annuity in which payments start more than one year after the annuity is established. These are appropriate for those in income earning years who anticipate a need for income after retirement but could use an immediate charitable tax deduction.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Charitable remainder trusts are trusts you create by designating a person or persons to receive annual income payments. At the conclusion of the life of the beneficiary, the principal of the trust goes to Catlin Gabel.
There are several ways to structure a trust depending on your needs and those of your family. We can help you identify the best structure and work with your advisors during the process.
Gifts of Real Estate
Real estate as an outright gift of the entire or a fractional interest
An outright gift of unencumbered real estate may allow you to make a significant gift to Catlin Gabel without incurring capital gains tax on the transfer of a highly appreciated asset. In addition, you could see reductions in both income taxes and estate taxes.
- For tax purposes, you can deduct up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income with gifts of real estate and can carry the deduction forward for up to five additional years.
- You may give your entire interest or a fractional interest in the property. however, the nature of real property gifts usually requires that they have a minimum equity of $100,000.
- Provided that you have owned the property for more than one year, a gift of an interest in real property to Catlin Gabel will entitle you to a charitable income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the interest in the property on the date of the transfer.
- You will need to have your gift of real estate appraised by an independent appraiser to determine the value of your deduction, and then have the deduction substantiated by irs form 8283.
A gift of a remainder interest in certain types of real estate property
If you own a primary residence, a second home, or a farm, and you wish to dispose of such property in your estate but you wish to continue to use the property for your lifetime, then a unique gift opportunity is available.
- You may give Catlin Gabel a remainder interest in that property and retain the right to live in it for your lifetime.
- At your death, the property automatically passes to Catlin Gabel.
- This type of gift generates a current charitable income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the property less the present value of your retained life estate.
Other possibilities for gifts of real estate
Real estate may also be appropriate for funding a charitable remainder trust or making a bequest.

Western hoolock gibbon
The western hoolock gibbon (Hoolock hoolock) is a primate from the gibbon family, Hylobatidae. The species is found in Assam, Bangladesh and in Myanmar west of the Chindwin River.[2]
Mootnick and Groves[3] stated that hoolock gibbons do not belong in the genus Bunopithecus, and placed them in a new genus, Hoolock. This genus was argued to contain two distinct species which were previously thought to be subspecies: Hoolock hoolock and Hoolock leuconedys which were later have found that the 2 species have a bigger difference to that of white handed gibbons than bonobos to chimpanzees.[4]
In India and Bangladesh it is found where there is contiguous canopy, broad-leaved, wet evergreen and semi-evergreen forests dipterocarpus forest often mountainous. The species is an important seed disperser; its diet includes mostly ripe fruits, with some flowers, leaves and shoots.[citation needed]
There are numerous threats to western hoolock gibbons in the wild, and are now entirely dependent on human action for their survival. Threats include habitat encroachment by humans, forest clearance for tea cultivation, the practice of jhuming (slash-and-burn cultivation), hunting for food and "medicine", capture for trade, and forest degradation.[1]
Over the last 30–40 years, western hoolock gibbon numbers are estimated to have dropped from more than 100,000 (Assam alone was estimated to have around 80,000 in the early 1970s) to less than 5,000 individuals (a decline of more than 90%).[5] In 2009 it was considered to be one of the 25 most endangered primates,[6] though it has been dropped from the later editions of the list. [7]
Hoolock gibbons feed submissively on leaves and flower buds from the forest canopy, but fresh fruits are mainly part of their diet as well.[citation needed]

The following is from the CFTC...
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today announced that Judge Thomas M. Durkin of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered a Consent Order for Permanent Injunction (Order) requiring defendant Bradley Scott Schiller, of Chicago, Illinois, to pay restitution of approximately $4.565 million and a civil monetary penalty of $3 million for commodity futures fraud. The Order also imposes permanent trading and registration bans, among other sanctions.
The Order stems from a CFTC Enforcement complaint filed on May 24, 2012 (see CFTC Press Release 6262-12). The Order finds that from at least January 2008 through approximately May 2012, Schiller fraudulently solicited approximately $7.8 million from at least six investors for trading futures, and that Schiller misappropriated investors' funds and issued false account statements to customers in order to perpetuate his fraud. According to the Order, Schiller, a former floor broker, told prospective investors that he was a successful trader and showed prospective investors altered account statements to bolster his claims when he was soliciting funds. However, according to the Order, Schiller opened no accounts in the name of his investors, misappropriated approximately $3 million to pay for personal expenses and to re-pay earlier investors and lost approximately $1.6 million in trading in an account in his own name.
The CFTC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Illinois, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Chicago Division.
The CFTC Division of Enforcement staff members responsible for this case are Jennifer Diamond, Judith McCorkle, Joseph Konizeski, Scott Williamson, Rosemary Hollinger and Richard B. Wagner.

Here are a couple of pictures that were taken at the Marlboro Double 300 Trans Am races, Marlboro Speedway, Upper Marlboro, Maryland on August 12, 1967. Behind the Mustang of Jerry Titus, you can see the 1967 Ford convertible (Galaxie or Fairlane?) that must have been used to pace the race. The pictures were posted by Don Struke at the Historic SCCA Pro Racing Trans-Am Series Fan Group Facebook page.
Scott, the '68 Sebring race also had the Le Mans style start. The '69 Sebring race was the last one for the Le Mans start but it was not on the Trans-Am schedule that year. It was a popular thing to do in that era because of the added bit of flair or drama, but there were some obviously dangerous aspects to it so it was done away with. Jerry Titus' Mustang was rolled in practice the day before the race. The picture you posted is not from the actual day of the race.

Eric Franklin is director and founder of the Institute for
Franklin Method in Wetzikon, Switzerland. He has more than 35 years of
experience as a dancer and choreographer, and he has shared imagery
techniques in his teaching since 1986.
Franklin has taught extensively throughout the United States and Europe
at the Julliard School in New York, Royal Ballet School in London,
Danish Ballet in Copenhagen, Dance Academy of Rome, and Institute for
Psychomotor Therapy in Zurich. He was also a guest lecturer at the
University of Vienna. He has provided training to Olympic and
world-champion athletes and professional dance troupes such as Cirque du
Soleil and the Forum de Dance in Monte Carlo. Franklin earned a BFA from
New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and a BS from the
University of Zurich. He has been on the faculty of the American Dance
Festival since 1991.
Franklin is coauthor of the best-selling book Breakdance, which received

a member of the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science.
Franklin lives near Zurich, Switzerland.
The Franklin method has proved invaluable to our students at the
Juilliard School in New York City for the past several years. Learning
how to use mental imagery and functional anatomy for dance augments our
training program beautifully because it is clear, precise, and useful in
every way for any dancer. The students have found it revelatory!

Huge mob swarms phone launch – but it's a BLACKBERRY
Punters fainted - and not at the price
The global launch of a new smartphone brought a huge mob of thousands of desperate punters to the doors of a shopping centre on Thursday night - ahead of Friday's grand unveiling. By the time staff unlocked the doors there was a 3,000-strong crowd, a huge crush surged forward and several people fainted.
The Indonesian crowd were queuing for the arrival of the latest – wait for it – BlackBerry. Okay, there was a 50 per cent discount on the $540 phone for the first 1,000 buyers, but still, few phones inspire this level of devotion, so we're sure the riot reports will be giving makers RIM warm fuzzy feelings up in the biz's HQ in Waterloo, Canada.
The BlackBerry brand has huge cachet in Indonesia, according to AP, and Jakarta was the first place RIM chose to launch the BlackBerry Bold 9790.
We expect the 9790 launches in Europe and the US to be rather more muted. ®

There was a good citizen turnout at Lancaster County Council meeting on Monday, Sept 9. Thirteen people gave public comments, most opposing the Cluster Development Ordinance, some concerning other topics.
All comments were well-constructed, appropriate and spoken with respect.
I recently had the opportunity to go to my first County Commission meeting for the first time in my 25-plus years of being a Lancaster County resident. I am not writing this letter because of a favorable outcome or a personal thank-you note. Instead, I feel this meeting was a totally unexpected experience.
I have read multiple posts in newspaper editorials, Facebook pages and dialogue with other community citizens on how bad county commissioners are. I have heard that they are biased, uninformed and incapable a making good decisions, etc..
Since my first letter about the horrible shape of Taxahaw Road two years ago the S.C. Department of Transportation has done pretty much nothing concerning what I believe to be – not only an exercise in defensive driving but a hazard as well.
Is there no money to fix this? I read, just like I'm sure a lot of you did, that the portion of this road from Potter Road to S.C. 522 is in the process of being repaved. To that I say, "bravo." That leads to me also saying, "what about the rest?" These two points cover about 3.5 miles.
I recently read that the name Jesus Christ cannot be invoked in prayer in government offices and other public places in parts of North Carolina.
Atheists are getting their way again. Those of us, who are Christians, should fight atheists on this issue. We, too, have rights.
If you are an atheist and don't believe in God, then don't invoke his name. But those of us, who are Christians, will.

Editor's note: Chester resident Bill Floyd is a business owner, who travels a lot. Several years ago Floyd wrote a series of stories about the time he spent in Egypt for the Chester News & Reporter, a sister paper to The Lancaster News. Floyd made many friends while there and has kept in contact with them. Following are letters from one of his friends on what it's like now in Egypt.
There are so many negative thinking individuals of our town who fail to recognize the Lancaster Police Department for the fine job their staff and officers are doing protecting us all.
You know when folks in city or county government get to thinking, they sure come up with some harebrained ideas. Messing with the children's Santa Train ("Council considers changes to Santa Train" in the Aug. 16 edition of The Lancaster News) is one of the latest off-the-wall no-brainers.
Gosh, kids want to ride the good ole L&C, not shop in downtown Lancaster, visit the Native American Center and buy some wigs from local merchants.
I guess the next idea is to offer beer sales, too.

There's an old expression of "you can't have too much of a good thing." I'm here to prove otherwise. Saturday, Aug. 17, was National Homeless Animals Day.
This worldwide event pays tribute to the more than 4 million animals destroyed in our nation's shelters each year.
Although the number of animals killed annually has dropped dramatically over the past 23 years, statistics show that a shelter animal is killed every six seconds.
The Aug. 14, 2013, letter to the editor "New York, nor county has the right to tell us how to live" has an interesting Libertarian position and certainly valid.
The author's challenge to provide an example of where anyone is forced to breathe second-hand smoke is equally valid.
Put in a situation where someone is smoking, the nonsmoker can leave or stop breathing.
Tax notices for 2013 are being prepared to be mailed next month. Owners of real estate, personal property and businesses will receive their bills and they are due by Jan. 15, 2014, without penalties.
A major change is in effect as of July 26, 2013, with the S.C. Department of Revenue.
The counties no longer have access to the DOR system, due to the data breech the state experienced this past spring.
Therefore, we will no longer be able to make changes in the office, as we have in the past.

UPDATE - Former NFL player Jim McMahon was released from Renown Tuesday night, then flew home to Arizona to recuperate, according to his agent. His female companion had already been released. No information has been released about the driver's condition, and a call to Bell Limo hasn't been returned.
RENO, NV - A limousine carrying former NFL star Jim McMahon and a female companion crashed just south of Reno Monday afternoon.
According to Nevada Highway Patrol it happened around 2 p.m., when 40-year-old Robert McCoy was driving the Bell limousine carrying retired NFL quarterback Jim McMahon to the Reno-Tahoe Airport from South Lake Tahoe.
The limo veered off U.S. 395 in Pleasant Valley near Andrew Lane and plowed through a barb wire fence before landing on its wheels in a field. Traffic was backed up on US 395 northbound due to the accident.
Fifty-one-year-old McMahon and passenger, 46-year-old Lori Navon, along with the driver of the limo, were taken to Renown Regional Medical Center. Their injuries do not appear to be serious, says the NHP.
McMahon played in the American Century Celebrity golf tournament this past week.

Wet Weather Slows Planting in Minnesota
ST. PAUL (AP) — A stretch of wet weather has slowed planting of crops in Minnesota.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that last week, Minnesota farmers across the state had an average of just 1.9 days that were suitable for fieldwork.
But despite the wet weather, emergence of corn and small grains continued to move along.
Corn planting was 82 percent complete, compared with 100 percent last year, and the average of 95 percent. Corn emergence increased 32 percentage points to 40 percent emerged, but is still well behind last year's 91 percent.
Soybeans were 42 percent planted, compared with 92 percent last year and the average of 76 percent.
Spring wheat and barley planting were behind normal. Sugarbeets were 92 percent planted compared with 100 percent last year.

The latest research by law professor Colleen Chien is getting lots of much-needed press coverage, in that it reveals we've passed the tipping point with patent trolls, as more than half of all patent lawsuits were brought by trolls. In fact, her new report reveals that 61% of all patent lawsuits filed in the first 11 months of 2012... were from patent trolls. That's an astoundingly large number -- and one that is growing fast. The same report notes that just last year the number was 45% and five years ago it was just 23%. When does the government wake up and realize we have a serious problem on our hands?

I have little faith in change here."When does the government wake up and realize we have a serious problem on our hands?"
As soon as all the people who lobbied and vied for the system to become this broken realize they fucked up and lobby and vie for the system to be righted again.
(Protip: Don't hold your breath. The wheels of justice move slow. And when it's something worth doing; Congress moves even slower than that.)

Feels like claims of frivolous injury law suitsI don't follow this like you guys, but this feels an awful lot like the claims that the majority of cases filed by injury victims were frivolous. It's a tactic that works in the court room. A jury would presume the plaintiff had frivolous case.
Here, I have to believe judges are wondering if they're facing a patent troll, whatever that is.
Travicane, 11 Dec 2012 @ 6:11pm
Re: Feels like claims of frivolous injury law suitsThe difference is, with almost all software patents, the plaintiff has a frivolous case, almost by definition.
The current huge influx of patents are on software, and generally trivial, obvious, broad, and should not have been granted even by a lazy or stupid examiner!
I do not think most of the examiners are either stupid or incompetent. It seems more likely that they may just be people trying to hold down a job, in the face of institutionalized corruption mandated by congress.

Major Disincentives to Fix ThisRemember, most legislators are lawyers, and once you admit that people do, in fact sue in bad faith, it casts doubt on the whole system of tort law as it is established.
So they close their eyes to the truth and carry on as if nothing had happened.

Re: Major Disincentives to Fix ThisNo, they lobby for "tort reform". Which is a dog whistle for removal of rights to compensation. Corporate interests can not be bothered by the collateral damage their operations cause because they are creating jobs for us and they are our benevolent benefactors, if they are made to cleanup their own mess then we are out of a job ... or so the mantra goes.

Some observations.The percentages on their own don't necessarily mean anything. First has the absolute number of "non-troll" cases changed? If the total number of cases had dropped, even a rising percentage of troll cases could be indicative of a decreasing problem. Not that there is really any chance of that, but the percentages alone don't really tell the story.
Second, there are genuinely worthy non-practicing entities out there, which solely invent/design and then license their inventions/designs. A prime example of these is the ARM foundation. If such an entity were to sue someone, it would be counted as a "troll". We don't really know how many of these cases are by, or on behalf of, such entities or individuals. The real problem is the genuine economy destroying rent seekers who buy up patents from failed companies at pennies on the dollar and then extort as much as they can from genuine innovators.
I personally don't think the problem is misuse of the patent system, it is the very basis of the system. Letters patent were bad for the economies which granted them when the criterion for their grant was being a crony in good standing with the government. They are no better now. The problem wasn't the reason for the grant, the problem was the artificial monopoly, and it is still a problem Today.

So is your contention that every single patent suit is trolling? That there are no legitimate patent cases, rather they are shakedowns 100% of the time? This is very revealing of who you truly are, Masnick.

Curious if you might explain where you got your assertions in the first two sentences. Since neither of them are even remotely true, and I said nothing like them at all, I'm curious as to how you then made the final conjecture.
I would argue that the only person this says anything about who one "truly" is, would be you, the person who is so desperate to smear me, that you would resort to outright lies.

Seriously, which is it? First you say the article says that 100% of all patent lawsuits are filed by patent trolls, then you say the article says that more than half of all patent lawsuits are started by trolls. Make up your mind.
This is why people like you are so despised. You don't actually have opinions; if you did, they wouldn't change as quickly as the weather in the American Midwest.

more dissembling by Masnick�Patent troll�
infringers and their paid puppets� definition of �patent troll�:
anyone who asserts a patent against us
Call it what you will...patent hoarder, patent troll, non-practicing entity, shell company, etc. It all means one thing: �we�re using your invention and we�re not going to stop or pay�. This is just dissembling by large invention thieves and their paid puppets to kill any inventor support system. It is purely about legalizing theft. The fact is, many of the large multinationals and their puppets who defame inventors in this way themselves make no products in the US or create any American jobs and it is their continued blatant theft which makes it impossible for the true creators to do so. To them the only patents that are legitimate are their own.
It�s about property rights. They should not only be for the rich and powerful. Show me a country with weak or ineffective property rights and I�ll show you a weak economy with high unemployment. Does that remind you of any present day country?
Prior to eBay v Mercexchange, small entities had a viable chance at commercializing their inventions. If the defendant was found guilty, an injunction was most always issued. Then the inventor small entity could enjoy the exclusive use of his invention in commercializing it. Unfortunately, injunctions are often no longer available to small entity inventors because of the Supreme Court decision so we have no fair chance to compete with much larger entities who are now free to use our inventions. Essentially, large infringers now have your gun and all the bullets. Worse yet, inability to commercialize means those same small entities will not be hiring new employees to roll out their products and services. And now those same parties who killed injunctions for small entities and thus blocked their chance at commercializing now complain that small entity inventors are not commercializing. They created the problem and now they want to blame small entities for it. What dissembling! If you don�t like this state of affairs (your unemployment is running out), tell your Congress member. Then maybe we can get some sense back into the patent system with injunctions fully enforceable on all infringers by all patentees, large and small.
Those wishing to help fight big business giveaways should contact us as below and join the fight as we are building a network of inventors and other stakeholders to lobby Congress to restore property rights for all patent owners -large and small.
For the truth about trolls, please see http://truereform.piausa.org/default.html#pt.
Masnick and his monkeys have an unreported conflict of interest-
They sell blog filler and "insights" to major corporations including MS, HP, IBM etc. who just happen to be some of the world�s most frequent patent suit defendants. Obviously, he has failed to report his conflicts as any reputable reporter would. But then Masnick and his monkeys are not reporters. They are hacks representing themselves as legitimate journalists receiving funding from huge corporate infringers. They cannot be trusted and have no credibility. All they know about patents is they don�t have any.

Experiments in Board Chests
For too long now I've been researching vernacular forms of furniture. I dislike the word "vernacular," so I call these designs the "furniture of necessity." These are the pieces of furniture that aren't heralded in books or at Sotheby's. Yet, they have remained almost unchanged in form for hundreds of years.
One of these forms is the "board chest," which also goes by the name "six-board chest." I've lived with these chests and built several of them for a forthcoming book. And yet, that wasn't enough for me. What makes these chests interesting to me is the processes and tools that were used to build them.
I've found these board chests can be built with just a handful of tools in about a day of pretty hard work (and that includes painting). I have squeezed every minute of time out of my current process to build one of these chests.
And so to look for efficiencies, I decided to tap into some other builders.
Today I had a couple friends come to the shop and start building a chest each using only a minimum amount of direction from me. They had to work with the material they were given – local poplar from the lumber yard – and were strongly discouraged from using the power tools in my shop.
I asked them to produce designs that were different than the ones I'd built. So we are using slightly different joinery, new kinds of mouldings and interesting foot shapes.
We made it pretty far in about five hours of shop time. There was, of course, a serious break to go to Eli's barbecue. We'll pick things back up on Thursday and get these chests completed.
Check out the short video I made of the progress today.

Related Media: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
Surgical and other procedures may be used to treat severe CAD and CAD that is causing angina when other treatment methods fail.
Surgical Procedures
CABG is more commonly known as open-heart or bypass surgery. It is the most common type of heart surgery in the United States.
During this operation, a healthy blood vessel is removed from the leg or another area of the body. The healthy blood vessel is connected to the damaged artery just above and just below the blocked or partially blocked area. This allows some blood to bypass the damaged area by moving through the new blood vessel. If more than one area is blocked, a bypass can be done for each area (referred to as a double, triple, or quadruple bypass).
Types of CABG include:
- Traditional CABG —A heart-lung machine is used to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body while the surgeon works on the heart. During surgery, the heart is stopped and is restarted when the surgeon is done.
- Off-pump CABG —No heart-lung machine is needed. The surgeon works on the heart while it is still beating.
- Minimally invasive direct CABG —Small incisions are made along the left side of the chest and between the ribs to access front-facing blood vessels. It is a fairly new off-pump procedure that may not be an option for everyone or widely available.
Talk to your doctor about which option is better for you. Although CABG may relieve symptoms, it does not cure heart disease. You still must maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes achieving a healthy weight, eating a heart healthy diet, not smoking, and taking medications.
TMR is generally used in people who have inoperable CAD with severe angina. A laser is used through small incisions on the left side of the chest to create small channels in the affected part of the heart. These channels improve blood flow to the heart muscle. TMR can be done with or without CABG. A computer is used to pulse the laser at a specific time in the least active part of the heart beat cycle.
Other Procedures
Other procedures are used to open blocked arteries include:
- Coronary angioplasty —Sometimes called a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A guided catheter is inserted into the artery in your groin. Once the blockage is reached, a balloon is quickly inflated and deflated. This opens the artery and restores blood flow. The balloon and catheter are then removed.
- Stent —During an angioplasty, a mesh stent may be placed in the artery to keep it open. The stent may be coated with a medication to reduce the chances of the artery renarrowing.
- Laser angioplasty —The plaque is vaporized by a laser beam at the end of the guided catheter, which opens the artery.
- Atherectomy —Once the blockage is reached, a shaver on the tip of the guided catheter is used to slice the plaque away.
- Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP)—Noninvasive procedure that uses inflatable bags around the legs. These bags inflate and deflate in rhythm with the heartbeat to help improve blood flow and decrease angina symptoms. This treatment may be able to decrease the symptoms of angina and improve oxygen flow.

Man dies after crashing stolen police car in Va.
Man dies after crashing stolen police car in Va.
RICHMOND, Va. —
Authorities say a man died after he stole a Richmond police car and crashed it head first into the side of a vacant warehouse.
Police officials say an officer on Monday afternoon approached a wanted suspect, who then pulled a gun on the officer. As the officer took cover behind his cruiser, the suspect jumped into the vehicle and sped away before crashing into the closed loading bay of the building, causing a small fire.
Media outlets report that the suspected died at the scene. Police have not released the suspect's name or on what charges he was wanted.
The officer was not injured and the incident remains under investigation.

The weeks and months of early winter seem to be the busiest. Our shorter days are crammed with school, work, extra curricular activities than there seem to be at other times of the year.
Fortunately, there's no need to choose between good food and fast food. Having a couple tricks up your sleeve will ensure a proper dinner, from scratch, in less time than it takes to reheat something frozen or collect takeout food.
There's a misconception that packaged convenience foods are faster to prepare than meals made at home using whole ingredients.
For example, a box of Hamburger Helper takes half an hour to prepare, compared with dry pasta and a quick sauce in under 15 minutes. Frozen battered fish pieces require 25-30 minutes in the oven; a fresh filet will cook in just 10.
These quick recipes will help you get dinner on the table in a flash.
Roasted Salmon with Green Beans and Cherry Tomatoes
Try this quick roasting technique with any type of fish, estimating 10 minutes of cooking time per inch of thickness. Roast it along with asparagus, zucchini, peppers or your favourite fresh veg, getting them started as you prep the fish, and adding the filet to the pan when it needs about 10 minutes more cooking time. Substitute other glazes for the pesto, if you like, (Try 1 tbsp./15 mL each of brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and grainy mustard.) or a handful of green beans, stem ends trimmed
1 pint (500 mL) cherry or grape tomatoes canola or olive oil, for cooking as many salmon fillets as you want to cook, with or without skin
1/4 cup (50 mL) (approx.) pesto, either basil or sun-dried tomato
Preheat the oven to 450 F (230 C). Spread the green beans and tomatoes out on a heavy-rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Toss with your hands to coat and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, while you prepare the salmon.
Pat the salmon dry and spread the pesto over it; remove the baking sheet from the oven, push the vegetables aside and place the salmon skin-side down (if it has skin) beside or among the tomatoes and beans. Return to the oven for 10 minutes, until the fish is just cooked through — the edge flakes with a fork, but the fish is still moist in the middle.
Serve immediately.
Serves 4
Skillet Frittata
A frittata can be made using any ingredients you like or have on hand, and it's a great way to use up bits of leftovers. It's perfect for using up a single sausage, chunk of ham, leftover potato or cooked veggies in quantities too small to do much with. Leftover frittata also makes a delicious meal: serve wedges between buttered toast for a substantial sandwich, or cube cold frittata to make protein-rich "croutons" for your salad.
If you want to wing it, the basic proportions are 1 cup to 2 cups of cooked meat and veggies for every 5 to 6 eggs. canola or olive oil, for cooking
1-2 cups (250 to 500 mL) chopped cooked meat and/or cooked or fresh vegetables
1-2 cups (250 to 500 mL) packed baby spinach leaves, torn into pieces
4 to 5 large eggs
1/2-1 cup (125 to 250 mL) grated cheddar, Gouda or Parmesan, or crumbled feta or goat cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, heavy, ovenproof skillet set over medium-high heat. Sauté any uncooked vegetables until they start to soften and release their juices. If the veggies and meat are already cooked, just heat them through.
Letting them brown a bit on the edges will add flavour, too.
Meanwhile, stir together the eggs, cheese, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Spread the meat and vegetables into an even layer in the pan and pour the beaten eggs overtop; reduce heat to medium-low and cook the frittata for five to eight minutes, until the bottom is set. To help it along, gently pull back the sides with a heatproof spatula to allow any uncooked egg to run underneath.
If you like, sprinkle more grated cheese on top.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until the top is set and golden. Serve hot, at room temperature, or cold.
Serves 4
Time-saving tricks:
• When making rice, cook extra to stash in the fridge for up to four days or in the freezer for up to six months; use in soups or fried rice, or reheat in a pot on the stovetop with a splash of water.
• When making soups, stews, chili and other one-pot meals, double the batch and freeze the extras for almost-instant dinners down the road.
• While your oven is on, bake potatoes by poking them with a fork and placing them directly on the oven rack for about an hour — the next day, reheat and top with chili, or chop and quickly cook in a drizzle of oil in a hot pan for skillet "fries."
• Chop extra onions, peppers and celery while you're at it; freeze in zip-lock bags to pour directly into the pot or pan when you need to get a meal going in a hurry.

STOCKTON - McNair boys basketball coach Matthew Morelli might have felt fortunate trailing Stagg by nine at halftime considering the miserable start his team had on Wednesday.
STOCKTON - McNair boys basketball coach Matthew Morelli might have felt fortunate trailing Stagg by nine at halftime considering the miserable start his team had on Wednesday.
But Morelli had to be happy about how his Eagles finished, holding the Delta Kings to a single basket in the third quarter and rallying for a 48-42 win at McNair.
"That's just the way we've played all year," Morelli said. "We're a second half team. Stagg has a good team that is well-coached.
"They took away our lanes early, but we did a better job rebounding in the second half. Our kids played hard together, and I'm just glad we were able to come away with the win."
Eagles senior Marcus Cotton came alive in the second half scoring 15 of his 17 points, and gave McNair its first lead at 34-33 with a soft jumper in the key with 2 minutes left in the third quarter.
Eagles teammate, senior Enrique Flores, scored three consecutive times on offensive rebounds to push the lead to 40-33. He finished with 14 points for McNair (11-13, 3-4 TCAL). Carl Sotelo and Carl Coleman each scored five points.
Curtis Bernard made three 3-pointers and scored all 19 of his points in the first half to help give the Delta Kings (5-19, 0-7) a 31-22 halftime lead.
But McNair came back by holding the Delta Kings to essentially one shot on each possession, giving up just a single basket to Stagg senior Omar Zamora in the third quarter.
"We played well in the first half," Delta Kings coach Ryan Berg said. "We have yet to play like we have what it takes to finish a game. We came out cold in the second half and McNair hit a couple of shots and they smelled blood in the water. They started hustling after the ball and that's why they were able to come back like they did."
Stagg's Ramiro Ramirez made a 3 to cut McNair's lead to 46-42 with less than a minute left in the game, but his team wouldn't score again.
- Scott Niendorf, Record Correspondent
At Franklin, Dwayne Lee scored 22 points and Quinn Ryan had a career-high 21 for Bear Creek (12-12, 4-3 San Joaquin Athletic Association). Colizel Lewis led the Yellowjackets (9-15, 1-6) with 21.
At Lincoln, Travon Renfro made a 3-point shot with 3 seconds left to tie the score, then D.J. Gentry stole the inbounds pass and made the winning layup at the buzzer. Renfro led the Titans (14-10, 4-3 SJAA) with 18 points, and Gentry and Eddie Nelson each scored 14. Julio Muao scored 26 points and had 11 rebounds, and Nick Schultze scored 16 points for the Trojans (20-6, 6-1).

At Edison, Zach Zeyen made back-to-back 3-pointers in the third quarter and the Rams (17-7, 7-0 TCAL) held on from there. Zeyen finished with 20 points, but guard Gabe Vincent led St. Mary's with 21 points and Jacob Aruta had 16. Carlnelious McGee scored a game-high 22 points and DeVon King scored 12 for the Vikings (9-15, 3-4).

Gallery: Is Kanye West Making Kim Kardashian Dress Better?
As their publicists have made sure you know by now, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are dating. And, in exchange for some extra media attention and access to her admittedly bangin' body, Kanye must take her around to all the fancy fashion events he's invited to, because she wants to be a high fashion couture type lady, and also because she has no job and is bored. But as Yeezy is too much of a fashion snob to be seen out with someone who inspires whispers of "it costs a lot of money to look that cheap," he seems to be slowly molding her into some sort of quasi-cool-looking, neutral-colored interloper. At least now she's easier for Carine Roitfeld to ignore at parties?

If Twitter has its way, "That's a clown question, bro" will join "Don't tase me, bro" in the annals of popular rhetorical comebacks.
"That's a clown question, bro" comes from 19-year-old baseball phenom Bryce Harper. That's what he told a Canadian journalist yesterday, following his second three-hit game in a row.
The journalist asked the Nationals' Harper if he was going to celebrate by drinking a beer, being that the legal drinking age in Canada is 19.
Harper, who is Mormon, rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not going to answer that. That's a clown question, bro."
In truth, the phrase is much funnier in print and removed from the context, as you'll see in this video:
But that hasn't stopped Twitter. The phrase has ignited debate. There is a T-shirt now. And many have noted that in a confrontational interview today, NBA Commissioner David Stern should have resorted to the Harperism.
Instead, when Jim Rome asked Stern, "Was the fix in for the [NBA] lottery?" He replied, "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" an answer that called into question the trickery of the phrasing.
Chris Moody, a political reporter for Yahoo!, tweets:
"Jay Carney didn't say "that's a clown question, bro" during today's WH presser. This is how I feel about that: http://bit.ly/NfSdKU"
We'll note that unlike "Don't tase me, bro." the Harperism has not gotten an entry on Urbandictionary.com.
One more exchange that's getting a lot of attention online comes courtesy of Major League Baseball's newest phenom, the Washington National's 19-year-old star outfielder Bryce Harper.
Last night in Toronto, Harper hit a towering home run against the hometown Blue Jays. It traveled some 450 feet before ricocheting loudly off the side of a stadium restaurant.
BLOCK: While that hit has landed on countless online highlight reels, what's really getting people's attention is what Bryce Harper said afterward in the locker room. He was asked by a reporter if he would enjoy a celebratory beer in Toronto, where the drinking age is only 19. He refused to answer, saying...
BRYCE HARPER: That's a clown question, bro.
CORNISH: It goes by pretty fast so let's play that again.
HARPER: That's a clown question, bro.
CORNISH: And those few simple words: That's a clown question, bro, have gone truly viral.
BLOCK: While it might be taken as an affront to the clown community, we want to make one thing clear: the president of the World Clown Association is not offended.
JOYCE PAYNE: My name is Joyce Payne. I perform professionally as Joy The Magic Clown.
CORNISH: And Joy The Magic Clown knows a thing or two about real clown questions.
PAYNE: Is that you really hair? Where did you get your shoes? Are you a real clown? Clowns are creative people. We can answer any way we want.
BLOCK: So, to be clear, Bryce Harper and the clowns of the world are on the same team. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Is this true? I'm seriously considering one after having tried most/all the Specialized range with no luck.
I've got another brand or two to try yet but test saddles are limited around here so I'm not hopeful and it seems few buy Brooks and complain!
It's true that many ride on well broken in Brooks saddles with ordinary street clothes.
But be warned that despite the multitude of aficionados, like other saddles Brooks don't work for everybody.
You probably have a better chance of finding comfort on a Brooks though - if you choose the right model, and have the persistence to break it in.

Obama's world: Must be nice thereEDITORIAL
June 17. 2014 8:29PM
Given the brazen challenges to American authority issued by Russia, China, Syria and now the al-Qaida offshoot trying to overrun Iraq, the still unresolved issue of Iran's nuclear program, and our pressing immigration problem, one would think that the Secretary of State would be far too busy for anything else. However, such an idea presupposes that the President and Secretary of State are responsible adults who take their roles as world leaders seriously. That presupposition would be wrong.
On Tuesday Secretary of State John Kerry was not in Baghdad or Damascus or Moscow or Beijing, or in London or Paris or Islamabad to confer with our allies and partners to try to contain the growing threats to us and them. No, he was chillin' with Leonardo DiCaprio — at a State Department conference on the fate of the oceans.
Coinciding with the conference, the Obama administration leaked the President's plan to expand by hundreds of thousands of square miles the U.S.-controlled ocean waters protected from fishing and drilling.
Actual human beings are actually dying right now — in acts of aggression undertaken with the knowledge that the leader of the free world will do nothing — and President Obama's attention is focused on fish of the future. The real world burns while this President plays in his make-believe one.

Troll, Reveal Thyself
Why we need to get rid of anonymous comments.
Once or twice a week, I get a letter taking me to task for Slate's commenting policy. The reader wants to tell me that I suck, but he doesn't want to log in to Slate's comment system using his credentials for Facebook, Google, Yahoo, or Twitter. Obviously this requirement doesn't bother everyone; hundreds of people happily sign in every week to tell me I suck. Yet I imagine that there are lots more people who are itching to chime in but who are put out by the login process.
One common misperception is that Slate wants your social-networking account in order to steal your private information. In fact, when you comment by typing in your username and password for Facebook or Twitter, those sites are the ones that check your credentials—Slate never sees your login information. If you sign on with your Facebook account, we do see your name and other details you've made available for everyone, but we get nothing more private than that.
If Slate isn't looking to invade your privacy, why are we asking you to log in with your social-networking accounts? Why make it so hard for people to comment—don't we want every reader to participate, even if they're skittish about revealing their names?
I can't speak for my bosses, who might feel differently than I do. But as a writer, my answer is no—I don't want anonymous commenters. Everyone who works online knows that there's a direct correlation between the hurdles a site puts up in front of potential commenters and the number and quality of the comments it receives. The harder a site makes it for someone to post a comment, the fewer comments it gets, and those comments are generally better.
I think Slate's commenting requirements—and those of many other sites—aren't stringent enough. Slate lets people log in with accounts from Google and Yahoo, which are essentially anonymous; if you want to be a jerk in Slate's comments, create a Google account and knock yourself out. If I ruled the Web, I'd change this. I'd make all commenters log in with Facebook or some equivalent third-party site, meaning they'd have to reveal their real names to say something in a public forum. Facebook has just revamped its third-party commenting "plug-in," making it easier for sites to outsource their commenting system to Facebook. Dozens of sites—including, most prominently, the blog TechCrunch—recently switched over to the Facebook system. Their results are encouraging: At TechCrunch, the movement to require real names has significantly reduced the number of trolls who tar the site with stupid comments.
That should come as no surprise. Anonymity has long been hailed as one of the founding philosophies of the Internet, a critical bulwark protecting our privacy. But that view no longer holds. In all but the most extreme scenarios—everywhere outside of repressive governments—anonymity damages online communities. Letting people remain anonymous while engaging in fundamentally public behavior encourages them to behave badly. Indeed, we shouldn't stop at comments. Web sites should move toward requiring people to reveal their real names when engaging in all online behavior that's understood to be public—when you're posting a restaurant review or when you're voting up a story on Reddit, say. In almost all cases, the Web would be much better off if everyone told the world who they really are.
What's my beef with anonymity? For one thing, several social science studies have shown that when people know their identities are secret (whether offline or online), they behave much worse than they otherwise would have. Formally, this has been called the "online disinhibition effect," but in 2004, the Web comic Penny Arcade coined a much better name: The Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory. If you give a normal person anonymity and an audience, this theory posits, you turn him into a total fuckwad. Proof can be found in the comments section on YouTube, in multiplayer Xbox games, and under nearly every politics story on the Web. With so many fuckwads everywhere, sometimes it's hard to understand how anyone gets anything out of the Web.
Advocates for anonymity argue that fuckwaddery is the price we have to pay to ensure people's privacy. Posting your name on the Web can lead to all kinds of unwanted attention—search engines will index you, advertisers can track you, prospective employers will be able to profile you. That's too high a price to pay, you might argue, for the privilege of telling an author that he completely blows.
Well, shouldn't you have to pay that high a price? I'm not calling for constant transparency. If you're engaging in private behavior—watching a movie online, posting a dating profile, gambling, or doing anything else that the whole world shouldn't know about—I support and celebrate your right to anonymity. But posting a comment is a public act. You're responding to an author who made his identity known, and your purpose, in posting the comment, is to inform the world of your point of view. If you want to do something so public, you are naturally ceding some measure of your privacy. If you're not happy with that trade, don't take part—keep your views to yourself.
Until recently this debate was largely academic. Those of us who called for ending anonymity had no good way to make commenters prove who they were. As a stopgap, many sites set up their own login systems, but this was tedious (who wants to go through the process of creating an account just to post a one-line retort?), unsafe (see what happened at Gawker), and ineffective, because there was still no way to force people to use their real names. Facebook has changed that. Not only does a Facebook account include your real name, but it's also tied to your network of friends and family. This means that anything you post with your Facebook account is viewable by people you know. This introduces to the Web one of the most important offline rules for etiquette: Don't say anything that you'd be ashamed to say in front of your mom.
What will the outing of commenters do to comment threads? From what I can tell, sites that switched on Facebook comments this month saw an overnight improvement in the quality of posts they attracted. Comments on TechCrunch used to be virtually unreadable; now—even on hot-button subjects like Apple—they're somewhat interesting. Or look at this comment thread on a San Jose Mercury News story about rat poison being found at a Sunnyvale, Calif., dog park. A guy named Stephen Chen pops in to say that the poisoner is "Probably someone whose lawn was pooped on one too many times." But seeing his name attached to that comment must have made him think twice; he quickly posted a second comment underneath, "Uh oh, compassionate and loving friends/family of the dogs may find this a hateful and hurtful comment."
Sure, this isn't terribly high-minded. I'll concede, too, that forcing people to use their real names might give us more "sterile and neutered" comments, as the blogger Steve Cheney argued last week. And perhaps we'll miss some important comments that could only be posted anonymously. If TechCrunch writes a post wondering about some terrible new Apple policy, for instance, we likely won't see an anonymous comment from a whistle-blower explaining the policy. But I doubt that's a real loss—I don't think raucous comment forums are the first place that whistle-blowers turn to. I'll take sterile and neutered over vulgar, stupid, irrelevant, sexist, racist, false, and defamatory any day. That's why I hope every site on the Web adopts Facebook's comment system. Disagree with me? Tell me why below. Just use your real name.

Today Kiva announces its second Mexican partnership, with Fundacion para la Vivienda Progresiva (Foundation for Progressive Housing).
FVP is a non-profit organization which works in partnership with CHF International, a non-profit whose mission is to be a catalyst for long-lasting positive change in low- and moderate-income communities around the world, helping them to improve their social, economic and environmental conditions. In 1996 CHF initiated a home improvement loan pilot project in Ciudad Juarez to assist workers and their families who cannot afford dignified housing due to the population explosion near the US-Mexican border. This pilot project was successful, and with funding from the Ford Foundation, the Inter American Foundation, Johnson & Johnson and other private sector companies, the pilot was expanded to create two non-profit organizations, including FVP.
FVP's mission is to help people improve their housing so that they have basic housing needs: a floor, bathroom and bedroom. FVP uses microcredit programs to help people achieve this through growing a small business.
We're excited to launch our second partnership in Mexico in response to the many requests we've received for Mexican entrepreneurs.
Kiva la Mexico!

Young UNH defense looks to step up
THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE football team has some up-the-middle holes to fill as it chugs along toward its season opener at Central Michigan on Sept. 7.
Jared Smith
, the defensive tackle, is off on the West Coast trying to make it as an NFL offensive lineman with the Seattle Seahawks. Linebacker
Matt Evans
, the school's all-time leading tackler, and the guy who played beside him for three-plus years,
Alan Buzbee
, have been lost to graduation.
Enter the likes of senior
Sean McCann
and junior
Matt Kaplan
of Franklin at defensive tackle, a crew of younger guys pushing them for playing time and another young group in the mix at linebacker.
"Jared's spot falls on me and some other guys," McCann said on Tuesday after practice. "Matt Kaplan does a great job of working hard every day.
Julian Turner
Rashid Armand
are working hard and getting better every day."
Kaplan started all 12 games last year and McCann started 10 as a sophomore and played in 11 last year. Turner and Armand both saw action last year as redshirt freshmen.
Shane McNeely
, sophomore
Akil Anderson
and redshirt freshman
DeVaughn Chollette
are three of the key guys at linebacker.
"Obviously, you can't replace a guy like Matty Evans right off the bat," McCann said. "But these guys are hard workers and they're smart kids and I'm confident they're going to get the job done for us."
Evans, in particular, leaves a huge spot to fill.
He was UNH's first Buck Buchanan Award winner as the best defensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2011 and finished with 460 career tackles, topping the record of 434 set by
Steve Doig
from 1978-81.
THE DEFENSE took a hit this week when junior defensive end
Robbie Zauck
went down with a knee injury.
Test results came in on Tuesday.
"He tore his ACL and he's probably done for the season," said coach
Sean McDonnell
. "I'm real disappointed for him. He worked extremely hard in the offseason and he made great strides last spring. He was a very good complement to
Cody Muller
Jay Colbert
at defensive end."
McDonnell said sophomore
Mike Detroia
and redshirt freshman
Kyon Taylor
have looked good at wide receiver.
UNH will look to improve on its scoring numbers of 34.1 points a game from last year. That was second in the Colonial Athletic Association to the 45.2 of Old Dominion, which has moved out of the CAA and up to the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Wide receiver
R.J. Harris
, now a junior, was crucial to that offense and will be again.
He had 84 catches, the fourth-best single-season total in history, and 1,059 yards, which was sixth-best. He caught nine TD passes.
The Wildcats did their offensive damage in a balanced manner last year, too. They averaged 220.8 yards a game rushing and 230.8 yards passing.
Nico Steriti
had nine rushing touchdowns and one via pass.
Harris is excited about the entire offense, which returns nearly all of its skill position players, including quarterbacks
Andy Vailas
, the junior from Bedford, and sophomore
Sean Goldrich
, who continue to compete for the starting job.
"And it's not just that," Harris said. "We have a lot of guys coming back on the offensive line. If we can protect up front and are able to get time for Andy and Sean to get the ball into the playmakers' hands, we can put up a lot of points."
Senior offensive tackle
Seamus O'Neil
of Manchester anchors the o-line at left tackle and senior
Sean Ryan
of Londonderry has been working beside him at left guard. Junior
Mike Coccia
is the center, senior
Ricky Archer
is at right guard with junior
Rob Bowman
at right tackle.
THE WOMEN'S SOCCER TEAM gets the athletic year started this weekend at the TD Bank Classic in Burlington, Vt. The Wildcats play Colgate on Friday at 1:30 p.m. and face Sacred Heart on Sunday at 11 a.m.
THE men's and women's basketball teams have announced the non-America East portion of their schedules for 2013-14.
Both teams are scheduled to open their seasons at home on Nov. 9, the men against Suffolk and the women against Worcester State. Times for the games will be announced later.
Among the non-league home games for the women are contests against Northeastern on Nov. 16, Colgate on Nov. 25 and Boston U. on Dec. 22. UNH plays at Dartmouth on Dec. 7 and at Boston College on Dec. 15.
The men's home games include New Jersey Institute of Technology on Nov. 17, Bryant on Nov. 24, Holy Cross on Nov. 30 and Dartmouth on Dec. 18. UNH is at Duquesne on Nov. 13, Marquette on Nov. 21 and at Rhode Island on Dec. 22.
