Spring Training: In a surprising move, the Phillies have released Geoff Jenkins.
Earlier this afternoon, in a surprising move, the Phillies have outright released veteran outfielder Geoff Jenkins. In eleven seasons, ten of which were spent playing for the Milwaukee Brewers, in 1349 games, Jenkins went 1293 for 4700 for a career batting average of .275, hitting 303 doubles, 22 triples and 221 home runs, while knocking in 733 rbis as he scored 688 runs. In his one season playing for the World Champs, he appeared in 115 games, going 72 for 293 for a .246 average, with sixteen doubles and nine home runs, knocking in 29 rbis while he scored only 27 runs.
I hope that there's a method to their madness cause I just am not getting the release of Jenkins unless he no longer fits in their plans. Anyway, I wish Jenkins luck joining another ballclub before Spring Training is over.

Omar Gonzalez believes that he is still not playing at his best. And that should cause serious worry throughout MLS.
In ten league appearances this season, the Galaxy have conceded just eight goals when Gonzalez has been on the field, notching five shutouts. Although the Galaxy's defense has improved, the centerback admits that he is still returning to full fitness.
Below Gonzalez discusses his confidence as of late as well as his inclusion by some among the front runners for MLS MVP…
GONZALEZ: "With me personally, my confidence is still not perfect and that's understandable, but there are some plays where I might not be at my best, like the one that I whiffed and Marcelo had to save and plays like that so if I can just minimize those mistakes then I'll be on the right way. As a group, last game, we had a few miscommunications like the throw in that led to the goal, but we still got the win so it was good that we had those mistakes and got the win as opposed to the mistakes costing us the game."
(On being considered an MVP candidate…)
GONZALEZ: "That's really flattering because there are a ton of guys that are doing great. If my name is being tossed out there then great, but I'm not really focused on that. My focus is on winning another championship, first and foremost."

Well water that students were drinking at Triangle Lake Charter School, located outside of Eugene, contained the pesticide imazapyr, according to a sample sent to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for testing in April 2011. Now a study by the USDA in the spring of 2012 of 22 Oregon rural schools using wells shows that one other Eugene-area school and two Corvallis-area schools had pesticides in their water. The Triangle Lake school was also tested and had imazapyr in the water again.
The Triangle Lake/Highway 36 area has been the subject of controversy over pesticide sprays for years and the issue has gained national attention through a story on PBS's NewsHour. Residents, including children, in the Triangle Lake area have tested positive for the chemicals atrazine and 2,4-D in their urine.
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) gathered the school water samples, which were analyzed by the USDA. Day Owen of the Pitchfork Rebellion, one of the groups protesting the chemicals that private forest owners aerially spray or otherwise apply to the land, says that state agencies did not know about the USDA program testing school water for free "until they found out about it through us; they then used it to not only confirm our Triangle Lake result but to test the other schools."
The Corvallis schools — Dixie Elementary and Fairplay Elementary — had the most chemicals in their water at 12 each. Applegate Elementary, south of Veneta, had seven: atrazine, bromacil, desethyl atrazine, desisopropyl atrazine, diuron, prometon and propazine. Crow High School was the other Eugene-area school tested and had no chemicals, nor did Corvallis' Mountain View Elementary. The full study is available the Oregon Health Authority website at wkly.ws/1d1 and the OHA report says, "None of the pesticides or their breakdown products were found at levels of concern for public health (based on the comparison of health screening levels for individual pesticide concentrations)."
The OHA recommends schools with multiple pesticides detected in their drinking water contact OHA or other experts to investigate and learn more about the connection between surface and groundwater supplying their wells and contact the drinking water protection staff at DEQ if they wish to initiate voluntary pesticide reduction efforts in their recharge area.
Owen says parents should "ask your school to take the OHA advice and work with them on discovering how the herbicides got into the drinking water. Then demand that your government pass strong chemical drift laws."
He adds, "Right now, industry prevents that and school kids drink weed-killer cocktails. We need to ask: What's more important, Monsanto profits or pesticide-free school drinking water?"
Owen questions whether the effects of being exposed to multiple pesticides, even in small doses, could adversely affect children, and he points to a report published by Beyond Pesticides that notes, "Synergistic effects between multiple pesticides and/or other chemicals represent one of the greatest gaps in EPA's [Environmental Protection Agency] ability to protect the public from the adverse health effects associated with pesticide use and exposure."
The Pitchfork Rebellion will caravan to and rally in front of several of the schools in the study Friday, Oct. 5. They will meet at noon in the Triangle Lake school parking lot, 20264 Blachly Grange Rd., and caravan to Applegate Elementary School in Crow.

Bushfires continue to threaten four states
Thousands of firefighters continue to battle bushfires across five states and territories, with blazes threatening homes and scorching hundreds of thousands of hectares of bushland.
NSW is under the worst threat with more than 90 fires that have burned more than 350,000 hectares. Seven of those fires continue to burn out of control.
A 9800-hectare blaze near Cooma threatened 15 homes on Saturday as more than 100 firefighters worked to contain the inferno.
Crews are battling two other major fires near Yass and Sussex Inlet that have threatened homes but eased thanks to cooler weather conditions.
Firefighting crews in Tasmania, Victoria, Queensland and the ACT are also fighting blazes.
Authorities in Tasmania issued a watch-and-act alert as a bushfire between Forcett and the Tasman Peninsula strengthened.
The Tasmanian Fire Service issued the alert on Saturday for communities near the blaze, noting increasing activity on the fire's boundary in the Kellevie, Bream Creek and Marion Bay areas.
TFS senior station officer Phil Douglas said the fire had expanded to cover 23,600 hectares, and fire crews were back-burning to contain the blaze.
Tasmanian emergency services have been fighting fires since January 4.
Several fires were burning across Victoria but they were under control, including a blaze at Kentbruck in the state's south-west, where 66 fire crews remained stationed.
A State Control Centre spokeswoman said the Kentbruck blaze had increased to 11,890 hectares, due to backburning as part of containment efforts.
A 13-hectare blaze at Kangaroo Ground on Melbourne's outskirts had been declared safe despite going close to a number of properties.
In Queensland, there were 34 bushfires across the state but none threatened homes.
Volunteer crews were using earth-moving equipment to contain a fire in bush near Undullah south of Brisbane.
Firefighters continue to monitor three fires sparked by lightning strikes on Thursday, west of Gympie.
Two small grassfires were the only blazes in the ACT on an extreme fire danger day.
Both, one at Hall and the other at Kambah, were extinguished, the ACT Emergency Services Agency said.
A milder weather forecast allowed ACT authorities to end the total fire ban across the territory on Saturday night.

School officials in Orange County are bracing themselves for sequester cuts expected to go into effect in June that could reduce funding to the Head Start preschool program, special education and Title 1 programs, which provide help to students at risk of failing and to students from impoverished families.
"It's a very austere picture and a sobering reality for districts to consider that on top of the cuts they've already experienced over the last several years that there still may be more coming at them from the federal government," said Orange County Superintendent of Schools Al Mijares.
The sequestration effects could last up to 10 years, he said.
The sequester, a series of federal spending cuts that went into effect March 1, also is expected to affect all college students who receive federal loans, grants and work-study aid. College students will begin feeling the impacts when they receive their federal aid offers for 2013-14.
Although Congress approved some modifications to the sequester on March 21, most of the education cuts remained in place.
Since K-12 schools do not know exactly how much funding will be eliminated, districts are preparing for cuts ranging from 5.1 percent to 8.2 percent of the county education budget – $13.1 million to $21.1 million. Most of the money will come from special education and Title 1 programs that are already underfunded, Mijares said. The sequester follows a wave of severe cost reductions that began in 2007, Mijares said.
Head Start and Early Head Start programs, which serve families of children up to age 5, are planning for a 5 percent cut, said Colleen Versteeg, executive director of Orange County Head Start. That could be about $1.8 million in funding, she said.
The Orange County program plans to cut about 207 slots from next year's enrollment.
Head Start programs have received the same level of funding for the past decade, Versteeg said, so there's no other way to make cuts without affecting the services families receive. The program serves 4,139 children at 45 centers in Orange County. Families in poverty receive priority enrollment in the program; Head Start also helps families with health, nutrition, mental health, disability and social services.
"Hopefully our elected representatives in Washington, D.C., will see this as a devastating blow for our schools and they'll do the right thing. I think they will. I'm optimistic at least," Mijares said.
The following is a breakdown of the cuts to the federal college-aid program:
Work-study program: An estimated $49 million is expected to be cut from the federal work-study program, the equivalent of the aid offered to an estimated 33,000 students, according to the U.S. Department of Education. In California, that would equate to an estimated 3,690 fewer students in the program. The Department of Education said states will get to decide how to spread out the work-study cuts – they could eliminate all aid for some students, or decrease work-study aid to all students, or find a solution somewhere in the middle.
Low-income grants: A type of federal grant for low-income students called the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant is expected to be cut by $37 million, the equivalent of the aid offered to an estimated 71,000 students, according to the U.S. Department of Education. In California, that would equate to an estimated 9,600 fewer low-income students who would receive these grants. The federal Department of Education said states will get to decide how to spread out these cuts.
War-casualty grants: Children of parents who died fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan will see a 37.8 percent reduction in a federal grant called the Iraq-Afghanistan Service Grant. The standard $5,645 grant for 2013-14 will be reduced to $3,511. The cut will only affect new program enrollees; students enrolled prior to March 1 will continue to receive their full annual grants.
Future-teachers grants: Students planning to become teachers will see a 12.6 percent reduction in a federal grant called the TEACH grant, or Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education. The standard $4,000 annual grant will be reduced to $3,496. The cut will only affect new students who enroll after March 1.
Loan origination fees: A loan-processing charge called the origination fee will increase for Stafford loans, the most common type of federal loan, according to the U.S. Department of Education. The 1 percent origination fee charged on a Stafford loan will be increased to 1.051 percent, so for a $5,500 loan, the origination fee would increase $2.80, to $57.80. A type of federal loan for graduate students and parents called a Direct PLUS loan would be similarly affected, with the origination fee increasing to 4.204 percent from 4 percent.
Active-duty students spared: In passing a temporary federal spending measure on March 21, Congress spared a tuition-assistance program for active members of the military that provides up to $4,500 annually. When the sequester initially kicked in March 1, this tuition-assistance program had been on the chopping block.

Is competition good for kids? I'm going to give you the short answer and the long answer. The short answer? After about 8 years old, it's absolutely necessary. Before 8 years old, most kids are not really ready to process competition and what it means, and what the rules are and what's fair, and what failure means and the rest of that. So, for the sake of argument, I'm going to be talking about kids over 8 – when competition is absolutely necessary.
Failing is an essential part of growth and that's why you have to let your kids struggle and fail. Remember the 4 minute mile? It seemed nobody could run a mile in less than 4 minutes. Then someone did and everybody competed against that time.
Have you ever seen kids trying to climb something for the first time? One usually says, "Oh, I can't climb that high." Another starts scooting up and suddenly the first child is climbing too. Competition makes you dig deeper into what you probably can do. Endurance, persistence, perseverance, self-control – these are things your kids have to learn in order to be successful in life at anything: a career, hobby, even relationships. And most of this they get from competing.
There needs to be a balance between competing and cooperation. For their first 8 years, you teach them a lot about cooperation, but you can't avoid competition even then. It is kind of a natural element. A lot of people think you have to learn to compete, but I disagree. I believe you have to learn to compete WELL, but that competition is inherent. It's inherent in just about every animal you see on the face of the earth – from their coloring and plumage, to their mating calls – even how they swim or strut.
Competition is a natural, normal part of life for resources, opportunity, reproduction, everything. And teaching your children to do it well is a responsibility you have – even though it's painful to see their sad, little, puckered faces when they didn't win.
And when they lose, instead of hearing them say, "I'm a terrible person…I suck…This is too hard…" teach them to analyze what happened because then they grow. Again, children need to learn failure is part of growth, even if it's a little annoying.
Competition encourages growth and pushes a kid to excel. They learn about their own abilities, and they learn about their limitations. And oftentimes, without competition, you can't tell what you can do. I like to play tennis with people a hell of a lot better than me because it pushes my abilities.
Competition teaches your kids to set goals, develop skills, solve problems, and try out new things. It also teaches them to learn rules, perform with other people watching and work with other people as on a team.
Competition is a very strong motivator, but parents who put too much emphasis on winning can harm a kid. Before I took an exam in college, my dad would always say to me, "Give 'em hell!" That meant "do your best". Whatever that is, that's all each of us has. And my best may be better than your best at something, and your best may be better than my best at something else. We're all better at some things and not as good at others. And that has to be the mentality you teach your kids. No matter how good you are at something, there's somebody better or there's somebody better at something else.
And of course it's up to you to make sure they can treat triumph and defeat the same…with class.
Kids who are not ready for competitive activities are usually kids who are more insecure, immature, selfish, spoiled or irresponsible. They may be too pressured from their parents, can't play in teams, can't handle frustration, haven't developed patience or tolerance and they often throw tantrums after being overwhelmed by competition. They have trouble sleeping, get headaches, have nausea, get depressed, lack energy, and create ailments and excuses to avoid activities… So if you do have one of these kinds of kids use your judgment and understanding when making decisions about competition.
You've also got to pay close attention to the ethics of competing: right and wrong, losing and winning. The Foundation for a Better Life has a great video on this. Watch: Basketball It's how you want to teach your kids. Competition is important. Support your kids' participation. But ethics are more important than anything.

BERLIN- Stephen Decatur's varsity baseball team's remarkable season came to a close on Monday with a 9-2 upset loss to Centennial in the state Class 3A-East Region quarterfinals at home.
Decatur entered the 3A-East tournament as the number-three seed and appeared to be on a collision course with Bayside Conference rival Bennett for the region tournament. However, the Seahawks fell to visiting Centennial, 9-2, on Monday, ending what was otherwise a highly successful season.
Decatur finished the regular season with a 15-3 record. The Seahawks dominated early, reeling off seven straight wins in impressive fashion before suffering their first loss to Bennett, 4-0, back on April 11. Decatur responded by winning the next seven in a row by an average score of 13-1 to improve to 14-1. The Seahawks stumbled a little down the stretch, falling to Parkside and then Bennett again in the penultimate game of the season. The Seahawks rallied to beat Indian River in the regular season finale.
Decatur was rewarded with a number-three seed and a first-round bye when the state Class 3A-East region brackets were released last week. Centennial, seeded 11th in the 3A-East, upset six-seeded Annapolis last Friday to earn a trip to the Eastern Shore and a second round game against the Seahawks on Monday.
Decatur scored first, collecting a single run in the first inning when Steve Ruggiere singled home Teron Tyre from second for an early 1-0 lead. Connor Molloy then singled, putting runners on first and second with two outs, but Eric Myers lined out to third to end the Seahawk threat.
In the third inning, Centennial got a lead-off infield hit and attempted to advance the runner with a sacrifice bunt. The Seahawks got the out at first and turned it into a double play when the Centennial runner took a wide turn at second and was picked off with a snap throw from Decatur first baseman Mike O'Neill. The next Centennial batter singled to right, making the big double play even more significant. However, the next Eagle batter basked a long fly ball over the left field fence to put Centennial ahead, 2-1, with a lead it would never relinquish.
Decatur came right back in the bottom of the third with a lead-off double by Tyre and a walk by Justin Meekins, but the runners were stranded when the inning ended in a double play. In the top of the fourth, Centennial got a lead-off walk and the runner advance to second on a ground out. The next Eagle batter launched a deep home run over the scoreboard in left field that landed in an adjacent softball field to push Centennial's lead to 4-1. Centennial never looked back, building its lead in the late innings and finishing off the Seahawks with a 9-2 to end the Decatur season.

Baker, Reds appreciate Jackie every day
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
CINCINNATI -- As part of Major League Baseball's celebrations at ballparks nationwide, the Reds and Phillies marked Jackie Robinson Day on Monday, the 66th anniversary of the day the Brooklyn Dodger great broke the color barrier.
Continuing a tradition started by former Reds star Ken Griffey Jr. in 2007, every player on the field wore Robinson's No. 42 on Monday. In 1997, under the direction of Commissioner Bud Selig, Robinson's No. 42 was retired across all of Major League Baseball in an unprecedented tribute.

More on Jackie Robinson Day
"It's pretty cool. It's my first time," Reds third baseman Todd Frazier said. "You feel like you're with him a little bit wearing it. I'm glad for what he did. It took a strong man to do it."
Reds manager Dusty Baker always considers the day special. Baker never met Robinson, who died in 1972, but has spent time with his family.
"I met his wife and kids and brother Max," Baker said. "I was invited to the field dedication at UCLA. We played an exhibition game out there -- the Dodgers against UCLA.
"My dad used to talk about Jackie all the time. We watched all of the movies. My Mom made me do book reports and stuff. My Dad used to remind me, 'You know what year you were born?' It was the year that Jackie Robinson was MVP (1949). I have a Jackie Robinson wall in my house -- my weight room. My son says he wants to go to UCLA and play second base. That's pretty cool."
Included during pregame festivities at Great American Ball Park, University of Cincinnati student and Jackie Robinson Foundation scholar Brittany Jones threw out a ceremonial first pitch. "Slick" Willie Shaw of the Harlem Globetrotters served as the honorary captain. SBM Management Services was awarded the 2013 Most Valuable Diverse Business Partner Award by Reds COO Phil Castellini and Sean Rugless, president and chief executive officer of the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky African American Chamber of Commerce. The Black Lawyers Association of Cincinnati honored Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Cheryl Grant and three scholarship recipients.
The movie trailer to "42: The Jackie Robinson Story," was also shown to fans on the video board.
Frazier, along with second baseman Brandon Phillips, saw an advanced screening of "42" last month during Spring Training in Arizona.
"It put some perspective on what he really went through -- all the hatred towards him when he was playing," Frazier said. "People nowadays get upset when fans call you a bum. He changed the game. He had a lot of hardship, but it did not seem to deter him at all. That's what I respect about him the most."
Prospect Freeman thrilled to join Reds in homestand
CINCINNATI -- Reliever Justin Freeman was on Triple-A Louisville's road trip at Columbus when he found out Monday morning that he was going to the big leagues for the first time.
"It was a nice wakeup call," Freeman said.
Freeman was summoned to take the roster spot of rotation ace Johnny Cueto, who went on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right lat muscle.
After that, Freeman made the nearly two-hour drive down Interstate 71 to Great American Ball Park.
"I was going under the speed limit. I didn't want to wreck the rental car," Freeman said. "And everyone was calling me. ... My phone wouldn't stop going off. I had to take it easy and get on the right side of the road."
A native and resident of Macon, Ga., the 26-year-old Freeman had a 1.80 ERA in four appearances with one walk and six strikeouts over five innings in Triple-A this year.
During Spring Training, Freeman was in big league camp as a non-roster invitee, but he missed time with a shoulder injury. He made two appearances in spring games for the Reds at the end of March.
"I know I liked his stuff in Spring Training," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "He was hurt in Spring Training, but then he pitched against the Diamondbacks in the exhibition game. And he looked real good in the exhibition game. And I talked to [Double-A Pensacola pitching coach] Tom Brown about him, who had him last year. Tom said he could pitch."
For Pensacola last season, Freeman had a 2.91 ERA in a Southern League-leading 57 appearances. That earned him the invitation to big league camp this spring.
"It didn't come to reality until last year," Freeman said. "I've been preparing my whole life. But you say you can prepare for it, but when you get called up, you don't even know what to say."
Worth noting
• The Reds have not named a starting pitcher to replace Cueto for Thursday's start vs. the Marlins. All expectations are that left-hander Tony Cingrani will be called up from Louisville. If Cingrani pitches, he will be the first lefty to start a game for Cincinnati since Travis Wood (13 starts), Dontrelle Willis (13 starts) and Matt Maloney (two starts) in 2011. Including Monday, right-handers have made 178 consecutive starts, which is the second-longest streak in franchise history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

NFL rules confuse defenders
NEW ORLEANS -- Making the game safer is making NFL players unsure what's a legal hit.
Players on both Super Bowl teams say they are confused about which hits are considered clean and which ones could lead to a fine. And it's not just the guys on defense who are wondering about the future of pro football.
"I think the rules will change a lot," San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis said Tuesday. "There's already no helmet to helmet. Might be flag football, maybe."
Baltimore Ravens safety Bernard Pollard, one of the league's hardest hitters, warned against trying to take collisions out of the game, as long as they are clean.
"You can't play this game and not expect it to be physical," said Pollard, who was fined $15,250 for a hit on Patriots receiver Wes Welker in the AFC championship game that Pollard believes was within the rules. "There will be injuries in football. There's a car crash on every play."
His 49ers counterpart, All-Pro Dashon Goldson, says defenders keep this in mind when they take the field:
"Do your best and then hope you don't get a letter [with a fine] in your locker on Wednesday."
The NFL has sought to eliminate any hits to the head and neck area of defenseless players, particularly in the last three years. It also has banned players launching themselves helmet-first toward an
Yet, every week, players are fined for those actions, and there have been suspensions. Baltimore safety Ed Reed drew a one-game suspension this season that was lifted by the NFL on appeal and turned into a $50,000 fine for repeated illegal tackles. The 5-foot-11, 205-pound Reed is not considered a vicious hitter.
Reed admits he can't be sure what's a true tackle these days and what crosses the line.
"A lot needs to be done with it. I don't think every fine is right," he said. "You have to go back and really look at how guys play the game before you judge them, is what I'm trying to say."
While still recognizing the importance of keeping games as safe as possible, defensive players have complained for years about the league's crackdown on hits. The 49ers and Ravens have two of the most physical defenses in the NFL, and they are proud of their violent nature.
"You can't play timid," Goldson said.
But even offensive players concede that defenses are at a disadvantage to the point of confusion.
Baltimore's Anquan Boldin, one of the more physical wide receivers in the league, doesn't feel sorry for anyone trying to tackle him. But he understands their plight as they close in.
" All defensive players have to deal with that," Boldin said. "It's tough on defensive players on those defenseless receiver calls because they come in and then the receiver drops his shoulder and they hit in the (head). And they get a penalty.
"So maybe they aren't sure and that's bad. This game is played too fast to worry about that, but they do have to worry."

It requires perl 5.8 though (for ExtUtils::Constant).
Why so? If ExtUtils::Constant isn't buggy, then I thought that it worked safely as far back as 5.005. You ship a pair of source files to fall back on if the user doesn't have it installed (which means that they can't tweak the list of defined cosntants) but anyone who does have it installed can tweak to their hearts content. Well, that was the plan. See Time-HiRes [cpan.org] for an example of the fallback mechanism.
I read them again recently when I was refactoring it, and yes, they do suck. Patches welcome, as it's unlikely that I'm going to get there first.

The problem is, it does not redraw the text until I pass my cursor over the box, or otherwise bring focus to it.
How can I force it to draw the text as soon as its changed? I assume its just a matter of forcing it to redraw.
Any advice is very much appreciated


text: General Motors announced last week the revival of its electric car. Their new design, the Volt, will mass market the electric car and use little to no gasoline. The Volt draws its power from a next generation battery, the E-flex system, which is recharged by a small onboard engine. According to GM, when the battery is depleted, a 1L, three-cylinder turbocharged engine spins at a constant speed to create electricity and replenish the battery. The motor will not provide forward propulsion and is only used to recharge the battery. The car is said to reach 40 miles on one charge and save close to 500 gallons of gasoline a year.This new development sprouted from the failed EV1 project GM began in 1996 and abandoned in 2003. They were heavily criticized for abandoning the experimental electrical vehicle program, but with the Volt, GM hopes to improve on their previous ideas of the EV1.Some improvements on the new model include more passenger space, longer battery life, smaller battery size, and higher cruising speeds.While most ultra-clean and efficient vehicles on the market today use hybrid gasoline-electric powertrains, the Volt will use E85 fuel which is a blend of 85% Ethanol and 15% gasoline.Since the project is still in the concept stage, a final production version of the car is not projected for another 3 to 5 years.

Blue Cross appeals rate decision on its Vermont Health Plan
BERLIN -- Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont and one of its subsidiaries -- the Vermont Health Plan -- are appealing a decision by state regulators to reduce a rate increase request. The insurance company says the lower rate could hurt the solvency of the Vermont Health Plan.
The Green Mountain Care Board went against the advice of the Department of Financial Regulation and its own actuaries this month when it reduced the Vermont Health Plan's request to increase to its reserve fund from 2 percent to 0.5 percent, filings with the state show.
The Vermont Health Plan is a for-profit company owned by Blue Cross that is used primarily by small to mid-sized companies with 50 to 200 employees, according to Kevin Goddard, vice president of external affairs. It has 5,610 policyholders covering 10,743 lives.
If the Vermont Health Plan's full increase to its reserves had been approved, monthly premiums for members would have increased $7.12. A separate 65-cent increase to cover administrative costs was also rejected by the board and is not being appealed.
The board's order will hold down rates for people paying premiums to The Vermont Health Plan, but Goddard said the decision would "erode" the health plan's surpluses and impact its long-term solvency.
Blue Cross Blue Shield is appealing the decision.
As part of the health insurance rate review process, the board looks at whether a requested rate is affordable, promotes quality and access to care, protects insurer solvency and complies with state law.
In a solvency analysis submitted to the board, the Department of Financial Regulation officials supported the 2 percent increase. The agency wrote that the reserve fund should not be revised downward unless the board's actuaries "expressly opined" that the increase was excessive. The actuaries consulted by the board suggested the 2 percent could be safely reduced to 1 percent.
In its decision, the board states that despite the findings of its actuaries, it determined that a 0.5 percent increase was an "adequate buffer" and would result in more affordable rates for consumers.
The Office of the Health Care Advocate, a project of Vermont Legal Aid, which represents consumers in the rate review process, suggested a 1 percent increase.
Attorneys for the Office of the Health Care Advocate said they were still reviewing Blue Cross' appeal, which asks for the original 2 percent hike, and are planning to file a response to the appeal.
Jacqueline Hughes, of the Montpelier firm Storrow, Buckley and Hughes, is representing Blue Cross and The Vermont Health Plan in the appeal process.
Hughes submitted a motion for the board to reconsider its decision Friday, in which she argues that the board did not give "appropriate weight" to the Department of Financial Regulation's solvency analysis.
Her argument highlights the statutory overlap between the Department of Financial Regulation and the Green Mountain Care Board. DFR still has the responsibility to monitor an insurer's overall solvency, and it must also provide opinions to the board on how rates could impact a company's financial health. The board is responsible for approving health insurance rates.
The board plans to move "expeditiously" on the motion for reconsideration, but there's no deadline for making a decision, according to its attorney.
The filing is separate from the 9.8 percent rate increase Blue Cross requested for the health plans it offers on Vermont Health Connect, the state's federally mandated online marketplace.
Hearings on the exchange rate increases are scheduled for Aug. 12-13.

Lets hope this continues Friday.
Lets hope this continues Friday.
Coach Macaroni, the Anteater with the ****stache is gone, his ass-kissing brother and greaseball assistant is gone, and it's like a HUGE BLACK CLOUD is gone from the Knicks team. this iron-hand, "my way or the highway", in the doghouse-mentality is gone, and I feel a major sigh of relief, like I can breathe again, and enjoy my NEW YORK KNICKERBOCKERS!
I think the Knicks feel this vibe as well, albeit they played one of the worst teams in the league in a very bad place mentally, but the Knicks still played excellent defense, had a sh*tload of assists, and were hitting shots.
I loved the timeouts, the substitutions, and the plays throughout the game.
I believe the Knicks will begin to realize their team greatness under coach Wood Son, I truly believe this.
Thank you for the Melo-drama, asking to be traded was THE WAY to get rid of the worst coach we've every seen.
Happy days are here again!!
39 assists and 19 three pointers plus a 42point smackdown is something to be giddy about
But, 13 missed free throws and 19 turnovers shouldnt be easily dismissed... Those are the things that will kill us in close games against the good teams.
desde la cuna del chango
Calm down. This team will never beat Lakers again. Melo will score 30 points and the team will lose. Wait and watch.
A great game, well coached and decent min's and rest for all the players.
The only thing I didn't like about this game was the commentor Mike Breen. You can tell he wanted Melo to fail and he was struggling to keep his composure when it wasn't happening.
Everytime he brought D'Ant's name (sucking him off) he mentioned Melo not buying into his system...the funny **** was...while he was doing this Melo would score or dish off a pretty dime. It was comical because it was exposing Breen's lack of love for Melo. I don't know how many times i had to say STFU bitch!!
Even after the game he was still bitching about D'ANt but tried so hard not to sound like he was..smh, lol
He needs to get over it and be positive about what we have going forward...I really don't want to watch my Knick games with the volume on mute.
What I dont get is why didnt TD23 get any minutes if we were gonna try and trade him today?
I didnt get to see the game cuz I was working but from what ive seen and heard the Blazers played some horrible defense. The way this seasons gone Im not willing to fully buy into or beleive anything. I just know that D'antoni woke up thismorning with a red hand shaped welt on his forehead... and the rickety thud of Donnie Walsh falling out of his wheel chair Rofling all the way to Fashion Ave..
What? Are you fawcking retarted? How about to show that the shoulder is fully healed and it was just the role he was playing that lead to his bad play. If he goes off for 15 points in 10 minutes of play last night we easily get a high 1st round pick or early 2nd round pick for TD23.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- The resignation of U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint gives Gov. Nikki Haley sole authority to choose South Carolina's next senator, and the only indication she made Thursday is that it won't be her.
Speculation abounds over who she might pick to fill the seat through 2014, when voters will choose someone to serve the remaining two years of DeMint's term. The name game began as soon as DeMint announced his resignation, effective Jan. 1, to become president of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
Names tossed out as possibilities include the state's four congressmen recently re-elected to their second term.
Haley could make history by appointing Rep. Tim Scott. The former Charleston County Council chairman would become South Carolina's first black U.S. senator ever and the chamber's first black Republican from the South since Reconstruction.
Scott, a former state House member, did not immediately respond to messages Thursday from The Associated Press.
But Rep. Trey Gowdy, a former prosecutor from Spartanburg, said Scott would be his top choice. He noted that Scott has already been named to Ways and Means, the House's tax-writing committee.
"If she asked my opinion, I would tell her there are two members of the delegation I wished she would consider, and I'm not one of them," he said. Gowdy said the other would be Rep. Mick Mulvaney.
Mulvaney, former state representative and senator from Indian Land, said he was contemplating running to replace DeMint in 2016 anyway. DeMint had said he wouldn't seek a third term, but his resignation stunned even his congressional colleagues.
"Certainly, it was something we'd looked at," Mulvaney said about 2016.
State Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, believes Mulvaney would be the best match for replacing DeMint, considered an ideological godfather of the tea party movement. Davis likened DeMint's stunning announcement amid Congress' debate over the so-called fiscal cliff to a general leaving in the midst of battle.
"We're struggling right now for the soul of the Republican party. There's a very real ideological battle going on," he said. Haley needs to appoint someone who "truly believes in individual liberty and smaller government."
Davis, who has been mentioned as a possible challenger to U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham in 2014, said he told the governor's office he's not interested in the appointment. He advocates Mulvaney.
"I've seen him withstand the pressure of Washington, D.C. I've seen him take unpopular stands. It takes someone like that to continue this fight," Davis said.
State law gives Haley no deadline, though she said in a radio interview she won't drag out a decision.
If Haley chooses a U.S. House member, voters would then fill that seat in a special election. State law treats filling vacancies for U.S. House and Senate seats differently.
The names floated Thursday also include former Attorney General Henry McMaster, once considered the front-runner for governor until Haley surged late in the 2010 four-way gubernatorial primary. McMaster has been a strong ally since. Haley recently named him co-chairman of a committee to study ethics reform in the state.
Another possibility is former U.S. Ambassador to Canada David Wilkins, appointed ambassador by President Bush in 2005. Before that, the Greenville Republican served 25 years in the state House, 11 of them as speaker.
Wilkins said he had received no phone call from the governor's office and doesn't expect one.
DeMint's spokesman said the senator is not getting involved in Haley's choice.
"Sen. DeMint has no favorites as our state has a deep bench of conservatives," Wesley Denton said. "This is Gov. Haley's decision alone and he trusts her to make a great choice."
Haley could arrange for herself to step into DeMint's seat. But she appeared to rule that out.
"I will not be appointing myself. That's not even an option," Haley told WORD-FM.
Under state law, Haley would have to resign as governor. The appointment would then have to come from Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell, after he assumed the governorship.
The last time a governor arranged to send himself to the U.S. Senate, he didn't stay very long. Former Gov. Donald Russell became senator in 1965 after the death of Sen. Olin Johnston. Voters booted him out a year later.

Mariano Rivera's still got it
Veteran closer is 22 saves away from becoming all-time leader
Mariano Rivera has been in the business of saves for a long time. So when a distressed church near his home fell into disrepair, it was the perfect opportunity for one of the best closers in baseball to come to the rescue.
The North Avenue Church in New Rochelle, N.Y., was built in 1907, and at one time housed the largest Presbyterian congregation in the country. But the building has fallen on hard times, and the city cannot afford to refurbish it. That's where Rivera, a man of faith, stepped in.
The Yankees reliever has arranged for his church, Refugio de Esperanza, to purchase the old church for $1 and will spearhead its reconstruction. It will be a gift from the heart from one of baseball's best closers.
"The moment I saw the church, I fell in love," Rivera said.
When the New Rochelle church is rebuilt, it will become a permanent home for Rivera's 90-member congregation, and he said he will be a frequent presence there. "I will be there a lot," Rivera said. "Baseball is my job. But baseball will stop one day. This is what I want to do then."
The Yankees hope they will not have to face that day for some time. At age 41, Rivera remains one of baseball's premier relievers, posting 20 or more saves for the 15th time this season, tying Trevor Hoffman's record. He reached the 580 plateau this season and trails only Hoffman, who finished his career with 601 saves.
In the week before the All-Star break, Rivera threw a scare into the Yankees when he reported a sore triceps muscle in his pitching arm. The closer tried to calm everyone, saying it had happened before and was nothing major. And after a couple of days off, he was ready to resume the Hoffman chase.
Rivera was in the early stages of his career with the Yankees when he stumbled on to the pitch that would make him a premier pitcher. He was playing catch with another pitcher, Ramiro Mendoza, when he threw the ball with a slightly different grip resulting in a dramatically different twist. It caught Mendoza by surprise.
"What was that?" Mendoza asked.
Say hello to the cutter.
It is a pitch Rivera came across by accident, but one that he understandably has embraced. The pitch mirrors a fastball for about 59 feet. Then it changes direction, cutting in to the left-handed hitter and away from the right-handed hitter. The action on Rivera's cutter comes late, and it often freezes the hitter.
"I call that a miracle pitch," Rivera said. "I didn't have that pitch before. It came as a miracle. I was just trying to get people out. I didn't expect it to be this great."
The cutter is Rivera's out pitch. He will mix in fastballs, sometimes two-seamers or four-seamers, to keep hitters honest. But when all is said and done, if the hitter can't handle the cutter, he's not going to find success against Rivera. Ken Griffey Jr. once said that Rivera has two kinds of cutters: "One that's good and one that's devastating."
He became the 15th pitcher in Major League history to reach 1,000 games earlier this season and is the only player ever to play in 1,000 games all with the same team. He, Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada have been Yankees teammates for 17 years, a unique accomplishment in the four major sports where no trio of players has been together for more than 15 years. And while Posada and Jeter have experienced some struggles this season, Rivera remains at the top of his game.
At the annual Old Timer's Day ceremonies at Yankee Stadium, Rivera was surrounded by former teammates who've moved into retirement. The reliever, joking around, asked to be introduced with Tino Martinez, Bernie Williams, Darryl Strawberry and the others.
Sorry, Mo. That's not happening just yet, not while baseball's best cutter is still spinning at full speed.

When you right click in Thunar you are shown a menu with actions. You can select an action with the mouse and in some cases by typing a single letter. You can also define your own actions using "Configure custom actions". I was wondering if it would be possible/desirable to assign a single letter to a custom action in the "Configure custom actions" dialogue?
I realize it is no hardship to select an action with the mouse. I just think beinging able to select a custom action by typing a single letter would be a nice enhancement.
That feature is already available.
In the custom action editing dialog, in the Name line, put a _ before the letter you want to be the shortcut. In example, "_Open Terminal", uses the "o" as a shortcut when using the right click menu. It's not necessary to be the first letter, it could be too "Op_en Termnial", in which case, the letter changes to "e".
lone_rocker, thank you very much!! Works like a charm. I learn something new every day.

"An intricate, musical dance of subtleties and niceties
. The 'Misterioso/California Blues' medley, in particular, sways nicely to the suggestive winds of sorrow and hope. The closing number, Shepp's 'Ujaama,' deviates from the other songs by actually preserving its inherent, tight, straight-ahead groove. Even here, though, Shepp and Kessler's symbiotic relationship is what best defines the music."All About Jazz
"The opener, an epic rendition of 'Les Matins Noirs,' features Shepp on soprano and is alone worth the price of admission. His raw and emotional blowing is instantly gripping. Elsewhere, he remains in full command of his instrument, constantly switching from tenor to soprano, and delivers some beautifully heartfelt and expressive lines."All Music Guide

Sunday features non-stop All-Star action
Fans enjoy Futures Game, Celebrities & Legends softball
By Mark Newman / MLB.com
It is non-stop action, and you just do your best to keep up with it all. For starters, you are well-advised to act now on the MLB.TV All-Star Package, which costs $2.95 (free if you're an existing MLB.TV customer) and is loaded with goodies like live coverage of Monday night's batting practice and State Farm Home Run Derby, Tuesday's All-Star Game batting practice and Wednesday's Olympic Baseball Team Selection Show.
Everything is moving fast now, indelible memories are being made as a legendary ballpark is feted in style, and there is an army of MLB.com coverage personnel out there trying to help bring all of the developments to you. Here is a look at what was going on Sunday, with "Blaze of Glory" and "Runaway" still ringing in some of our ears:
XM All-Star Futures Game
In a game stocked with players who will represent multiple nations at the Summer Olympics next month in China, the World team beat the USA, 3-0. World pitchers held the Americans to only three hits at Yankee Stadium, as this year's game was expanded to nine innings largely for greater evaluation opportunity.
Red Sox prospect Che-Hsuan Lin's two-run home run provided one of the few offensive highlights and Phillies farmhand Carlos Carrasco started a string of scoreless pitching.
A first-inning throwing error from Jason Donald (Phillies) provided the opening for World to take an early lead. It enabled Rangers prospect Elvis Andrus to reach second base with one out, and he promptly stole third to set up Pablo Sandoval (Giants) for an RBI on a fielder's choice.
The only other scoring in the game came on Lin's homer. His seventh-inning drive down the left-field line came after Juan Francisco (Reds) singled to start the rally. Lin hit a first-pitch fastball from Ryan Mattheus (Rockies) and poked it just inside the foul pole. It was the first extra-base hit from either side in the game.
Jesse Sanchez (World) and Anthony Castrovince (USA) of MLB.com liveblogged the game, and you can sort their tagged posts by World or USA.
Taco Bell Legends & Celebrities Softball Game
Whoopi Goldberg fielded a grounder to second, flipped it perfectly to shortstop Billy Crystal, who turned the pivot by dragging his right foot over second base in textbook fashion and throwing sidearm to Tino Martinez at first. Just your average 4-6-3 double play.
Chris Rock set the Legends & Celebrities Softball Game all-time record by striking out more than once in a game, but he made up for it by fielding a grounder at second and then flipping backhand to Ozzie Smith covering second for a force to end an inning.
"Ozzie Smith made it to the Hall of Fame not getting hits, so why not me?" the comedian said during the game.
It got even funnier when Rock compared himself to one of the greatest power hitters in history, who once hit three homers in a game here. "Power hitters strike out a lot," Rock said. "Take Reggie [Jackson]."
George Brett went up to bat for one more game at Yankee Stadium, and someone handed him a pine tar rag for his aluminum bat. He smeared it all over the barrel of the bat -- one last comment on the infamous Pine Tar Incident there 25 years earlier.
Who won? It actually did matter to those playing, if you watched Wade Boggs pointing to center to call his shot and then getting pitched around in the last inning with a chance to win it. But in the big picture, it didn't matter. It was a blast like always, and fans in the Bronx were treated to the most marquee celebrity talent yet for this year's event.
2008 All-Star Youth Stickball Tournament
Willie Mays came out to Harlem to watch a stickball tournament between children from Harlem RBI, a youth development program, the New York Emperors Stickball League and the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. The youngsters competed in front of a giant black-and-white photo of Mays playing stickball in Harlem, where the Hall of Famer would sometimes play with neighborhood children as a member of the New York Giants.
"I think everybody knows that when I came to New York from Alabama, I didn't know anything about New York City," Mays said. "But New York has treated me so well.
"When you can, 50 years later, say we're still talking about stickball, I think it's wonderful."
Hal Bodley's All-Star Memories
The first All-Star Game Hal Bodley covered was in 1958, when he was "a young reporter in the stands with goosebumps." This will be his first as MLB.com's senior correspondent, and he has no question about which Midsummer Classic is at the top of his personal list.
"When I think back to the greatest games that I have seen," he said, "I have to think back to 1970, when Pete Rose, in the first [All-Star] Game at Riverfront Stadium, barreled into Ray Fosse, injuring him, to score the winning run for the National League."
DHL All-Star FanFest
MLB.com is broadcasting live every day of FanFest at the Jacob Javits Center, and the big event on Sunday was a visit from Cal Ripken Jr. The 2007 Hall of Fame inductee took questions from fans. He said Goose Gossage -- whose induction is coming up later this month -- was the toughest pitcher he ever faced. Ripken also said he was often injured during his record consecutive-games streak, playing with broken bones at times.
Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew was there for fans to watch in person or on BaseballChannel.TV. MLB.com's Billy Sample (an ex-Yankee) spotted former Yankee Bobby Richardson in the crowd and quickly got him on the set, where he talked about the 1960s Yankees dynasty.
Shows were hosted all day by MLB.com talent like Vinny Micucci, Jim Duquette, Casey Stern, Noah Coslov, Seth Everett and Jack McDowell. Visit BaseballChannel.TV to see an array of clips throughout this All-Star Week.
An expected record overall FanFest crowd is experiencing all of the interactive magic, the history, the collectibles market and of course the shops. Fans there have tried frantically to stump MLB.com experts on trivia, and there is a special computer set up just so fans can leave their favorite Yankee Stadium memories for all other Yankees fans to see. It is at Yankee Stadium Memories, and with a free MLB.com registration, you can leave comments.
Quote of the Day
Cubs manager and former Yankee Lou Piniella, talking about the farewell to Yankee Stadium with this celebration event:
"I think it should mean a lot to baseball in general. It's been a bastion of baseball stability throughout the years, and there is so much history and tradition there, so many great players, so many championships won."

Along with white bean salad, caponata, artichoke hearts, green and black olives, and pepperoni, I wanted some vegan sausage style meatballs. I like to make them homemade, rather than chucking out $$ on prepared ones or Gimme Lean. Here's how I do it.
Pre baked balls, waiting patiently for the oven to heat up.
TVP sausage style meatballs
(bazoOo, I'm not using cute fake meat names just for you).
- 1 cup granulated TVP (not chunks)
- 7/8 cup boiling water or stock
- 1/3 cup diced onion
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- shake of red pepper flakes
- dash of toasted sesame oil
- dash tamari or soy sauce
- dash of gravy browner
- 1/3 cup unbleached white flour (can use whole wheat pastry or chickpea)
- 1/3 cup fresh herbs--parsley, oregano, thyme and basil work nicely.
- Boil the water or stock and pour over the TVP. Stir to mix and allow to sit while you proceed with the next step.
- Over medium high heat, saute the onion and celery in the olive oil, add salt.
- When the onion is soft and some of the liquid has cooked off, add the fennel seeds and red pepper flakes.
- Remove 1/4 cup of this mixture and set aside.
- Reduce to medium heat and add the softened TVP. Stir to combine flavors and to brown the TVP a bit.
- Stir in sesame oil, soy sauce and gravy browner.
- Place this mixture in a food processor with the flour and pulse a few times until almost smooth, but still with a bit of texture. Scrape down sides and move to a bowl.
- Stir in the reserved sauteed vegetables and fresh herbs. Season to taste with salt, if needed.
- Place a bit of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and preheat oven to 350F.
- With wet hands, form small balls and place evenly on cookie sheet.
- Bake until brown on the bottom, flip and bake another ten minutes. The texture of these are nice, crusty on the outside and moist on the inside.
What else am I planning?
Tofu cheese manicotti (made with crepes, like my mom used to fix)
Marinated asparagus
Salad and dinner rolls
Super-crazy banana kake with white chocolate mousse and banana buttercream.

interests that are fighting o have the federal income tax law set aside as without the constitution and therefore a dead letter attorney colin c h fyffe admitted that the suit is in the nature of a test case the specific cause for the suit is the refusal of the continental & cotnmercial trust or savings bank of Chicago to pay miss dewolfe the value of the interest conpons on thirty bonds of the

is imposed upon only 423,000 out of a total population of some 00,000 000 that none of the 42.'s,'000 consented to the tax and that even among this number the tax is not levied without discrimin ation

RVM's release manager, Michał Papis, just made a blog post about the addition of package manager integration to RVM. RVM will know how to use the system package manager to install missing libraries that it needs in order to build Ruby 2.0.
Richard Nystrom dropped us a line yesterday to let us know about two convenient document conversion gems he's worked on. First there's the libreconv gem which allows you to convert from microsoft word to PDF format.
Richard Nystrom also worked on the Kristin gem, which uses pdf2htmlEX to convert PDF documents to HTML.
It used to be you had to program a microcontroller like Arduino to do any work with LEDs and motors and so on. But the low-cost Raspberry Pi computer lets you use its GPIO pins to do many of the same things. And Ruby is easy to install on the Pi. With the "pi_piper" library, you can handle GPIO input events and trigger output using Ruby.
Postgres's hstore module provides you the hstore datatype, which allows you to define a column in your postgres database that contains key/value pairs, for schema-less datastorage. Joe Hirn wrote a nice blog post showing how you can use hstore with Rails to do some really nice Single Table Inheritance tricks.
Have a bunch of strings that you need to determine the sentiment of? Like, maybe you need to find out if some Twitter users are happy or annoyed? How about automatically analyzing their posts using the Sentimental gem? You feed Sentimental a dictionary file, and it uses those keywords to rank whether a post is positive, negative, or neutral.
The Sprockets library gave us the asset pipeline with Rails… compiling our CoffeeScript, SASS, and other formats… And now the sinatra-asset-pipeline gem promises to easily give you all this functionality for your Sinatra apps.

Remember the phrase "Home sweet home"? Well the Blackhawks have finally returned back to the United Center with faint smells of horse dung still lingering in the air. The circus has travelled to its next destination and the Indian head shines bright at center ice once again. The opponent on Tuesday was the same Dallas Stars that the Hawks played in Big D five days prior. That game went to a shootout with Ben Smith grabbing the victory as the 11th shooter, ripping one over Kari Lehtonen's glove. The league leading Hawks completed their best circus trip going 6-1 and winning 6 straight after losing to Colorado to begin the trip. I smell another streak on the horizon, better scent than horse droppings. All four lines are clicking for Coach Q making it easier to have any given line out against any of the oppositions attack. Duncan Keith is making a strong case for a Norris nod being named 3rd star of the week with 6 assists. The Stars will be without one key element heading into Chicago. Tyler Seguin is suffering from concussion like symptoms and was sidelined for this event. Continue reading »

The two longer courses take riders over the Santa Cruz Mountains to the Pacific Ocean before looping back to Palo Alto. Elevation changes of thousands of feet will challenge riders.
Participants not looking to spend hours on a bike seat can take part in the Echelon Challenge, a 0.6-mile loop around downtown Palo Alto for walkers, joggers and cruiser bikes.
Hunter Ziesing, executive director of Echelon, the San Francisco-based nonprofit hosting the event, was encouraged by the turnout last year — the Gran Fondo's first year — and is hoping for even more riders this September.
"We had about 600 or 700 (participants) last year," Ziesing said. "And we are expecting between 800 and 1,200 this year."
More than 40 charities will benefit from fundraising by Gran Fondo and Echelon Challenge participants.
"The number of charities has gone from 17 to over 40," Ziesing said.
"About 70 percent of those charities are local," he said, referring to the Bay Area nonprofits.
The entrance fee for fundraising teams is $5 for the Echelon Challenge event and $50 for the Gran Fondo. Echelon Challenge teams are required to raise an additional $100 for their charity of choice, and Gran Fondo teams are likewise required to raise $250.
After completing the 95-mile Gran Fondo course, or the 0.6-mile Challenge course, hungry participants can converge on a post-race food-and-drink festival. The event will offer a sampling of dishes from local restaurants, including The Flea Market and New Leaf Market, along with a selection of cheeses from Pescadero's Harley Farms.
"I really want to get the people of Palo Alto who are health minded to come out and have a good time," Ziesing said.
More information on the event can be found at www.echelongranfondo.org.
