Minor injuries reported after rollover near Apple Barn
BENNINGTON -- Police said an accident Sunday in the vicinity of the Apple Barn occurred after the operator swerved to avoid another vehicle that had crossed the center line. While the occupants of the vehicle were transported to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, police said all injuries were considered minor, including a child who was not properly restrained at the time of the crash.
In a written release, police said the incident was reported at about 4 p.m. Sunday, along Route 7 south of Bennington. Authorities said their investigation led them to believe the accident occurred after a northbound 2002 Chevrolet truck initially crossed the center line. The driver of that truck, Shawn Gerow, 43, of Pownal, reported to police he had become distracted by something that caught his eye to the right shoulder of the road, causing him to briefly enter the other lane.
Police said Susan Marshall, 42, of Adams, Mass., was driving south at the time and, to avoid a head-on collision, swerved to the right to avoid Gerow's truck. Marshall avoided the collision but lost control of her vehicle, a 1998 Ford Explorer which swerved back to the left off the road, causing the SUV to roll over.
Members of the Bennington Police, Bennington Rural Fire and Bennington Rescue responded to the scene.
Police said Marshall was ticketed for failure to use a child restraint system for a small child riding along at the time of the accident, even through the child's safety seat was inside the vehicle. Police did not report any citations for Gerow.
Temperatures were near-freezing at the time the incident occurred Sunday, and traffic was shut down for approximately 80 minutes while the scene was cleared.

All politics is local, the saying goes, and it's also largely unpaid. Local resident and Yellow Springs native Don Hollister has found both to be true in his nearly 40 years in politics.

Moyer wins second straight start as the bats pound the Brewers, 11-4.
Jamie Moyer pitched six plus strong innings while Phillies' batters batted around twice as the Phillies defeated the struggling Brewers, 11-4.
Milwaukee took a quick 1-0 lead in the first as Ryan Braun hits a two-out, solo home run, his second home run of the season. The Phillies then went to work on Manny Parra in their half of the first. With the bases loaded via a walk (Shane Victorino), a single (Chase Utley) and a second walk (Ryan Howard), the Phillies took a 2-1 lead as Jayson Werth's hits an RBI double, scoring both Victorino and Utley, as Howard stopped at third. The Phillies made it 3-1 as Raul Ibanez knocked in Howard with an RBI single, while sending Werth on to third. Pedro Feliz made it 4-1 Phils with an RBI single, scoring Werth, while Ibanez stopped at second base. The Phils made it 5-1 in the third as Feliz hits a two-out, solo home run, his first home run of the year. The Brewers cut the Phils lead to 5-3 in the fifth as Braun hits a two-out, two-run home run, his second home run of the game and his third home run of the year, knocking in Casey McGehee, who had earlier singled. The Phillies came back in their half of the fifth, scoring five runs. With runners on first and third and one man out, Chris Coste hits an RBI ground out on a slow grounder to third base, 5-3, for the inning's second out, scoring Ibanez, who had earlier walked, stole second and had gone to third on a wild pitch, making it 6-3 Phillies, and sending Feliz, who had also walked, over to second base. After Jamie Moyer had gotten on base with a walk, and Jimmy Rollins has singled to right to load the bases, sending the runners over to third and second, respectively, Victorino made it 7-3 Phils with an RBI single, scoring Feliz, while sending Moyer over to third and Rollins to second, leaving the bases loaded. Utley made it 8-3 Phillies with a bases-loaded walk, scoring Moyer and moving up a base both Rollins and Victorino. With Howard batting, the Phillies made it 10-3, as R.J. Swindle threw a wild pitch, scoring Rollins from third, as catcher Jason Kendall threw the ball past Swindle, who was covering home plate, for a throwing error, allowing Victorino to score and for Utley to reach third base. Swindle finally ended the inning by striking out Howard. Feliz made it 11-3 Phillies in the sixth as he hits an infield single to the second baseman, which was deflected off of Swindle, scoring Werth, who had earlier doubled and had move over to third base on Ibanez's ground out, 4-3. The Brewers made it 11-4 Phillies as Braun hits a two-out, RBI single, scoring Kendall, who had gotten on base earlier with a walk, had moved over to second base on pinch hitter Mike Rivera's single and had gone on to third on Corey Hart's ground out, 4-3. That would be the final score as the Phillies' bullpen kept the Brewers from scoring in the last two innings.
Jamie Moyer got the win, as he pitched sixth innings plus two batters, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk, while striking out two. His record is now 2-0 with a 6.35 ERA. Chad Durbin pitched a third of an inning, striking out the only batter he would face. Clay Condrey pitched one and two-third scoreless innings, giving up only three hits, while striking out two. Jack Taschner pitched a scoreless ninth, giving up a hit and a walk. Manny Parra took the lost for the Brewers, as he went just four innings, giving up five runs on seven hits and three walks, while striking out four. His record is now 0-3 with a high ERA of 8.16. Jorge Julio pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up five runs, four of which were earned, on two hits, three walks and a wild pitch. R.J. Swindle pitched an inning and a third, giving up a run on two hits, a walk and a wild pitch, while striking out two. Seth McClung pitched a scoreless inning, giving up just one hit and a walk, while striking out two. Carlos Villanueva also pitched a scoreless inning, giving up just a hit and a walk.
The Phillies collected thirteen hits in the game, with Pedro Feliz leading the team with three hits, two singles and a home run, knocking in three runs and scoring two, as he increased his batting average to .359. Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino, Jayson Werth and Chris Coste were next with two hits apiece, with both Werth and Coste's two hits being doubles. Chase Utley and Raul Ibanez had the other two Phils' hits. Besides Feliz, Werth would knock in two runs, while Victorino, Utley, Ibanez and Coste would each knock in a run. Despite the offensive display, the pitching staff is still giving up too many home runs, as Moyer was the victim of two home runs at the hands of Ryan Braun, who knocked in all four of the Brewers' runs.
The Phillies (6-6, 2nd) continued their three games series with the Brewers (4-9, 6th National League Central) with another night game from Citizens Bank Park. The game will start at 7:05 pm Eastern. The Phillies will send to the mound Joe Blanton (0-1, 9.00), who in his last start, on April 16 in Washington, lost his first start as a Phil, as he went six innings, giving up just three runs on eight hits and a walk, while striking out five, in the Phillies' 8-2 lost to the Nationals. He will be trying for his first win in 2009, while trying to bring his ERA down even more. The Brewers will oppose him with Braden Looper (1-0, 3.27), who is coming off a win against the Cincinnati Reds on April 15, as he went six innings, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk, while striking out five, in the Brewers' 9-3 win. He will be going for his second straight win. The Phillies will be trying for their first series win at home, while trying to increase their winning streak to three games.

Oh Sukochi, I hear you loud and clear about all the medical things swirling around in your life right now. I know it can be very disconcerting- if not down right scary, but you have the Lord on your side. He certainly does love you and I am praying that he helps you keep everything perspective and please don't worry too much, Just ask the Lord to guide the doctors in the best way to help you in all of this. Ginny
OOPS!" The reserve fed-ex driver was just here. Jenni was going bonkers barking at her so I was consintrating more on restraining the dog than anything else. DD has been expecting a package and the box she held was about the right size, so I assumed that was what was being delivered. The driver confirmed our address (Correct) and had me sign her scanner doo-hicky thingamabob. Not easy to do while keeping the dog from climbing the gate... It was only after she handed me the box did I realise that it was emblazened with the shippers logo : interesting leaves overlayed with the word "HERB" HUH?????? I checked the address a little closer and learned It was for the next door neighbor. Methinks she must have a medical merijuana card and I just took delivery of about 3 pounds of wacky tabaccy! I think somebody musta been smoking their product when the made ut the address on the order....
Quilters are people who strip so they won't go topless.
Ok, CC, don't keep us in suspense. What did you DO with this package. Did you tell your daughter she got a suspicious package and you would show said package to her before she can touch it. That you would really need a good expanation to get you to give it to her. Just rattle that girls chain for a few mins. Can I come?. This sounds like lots of fun. We could call it "Scare the makeup off the teenager's face"
Sukochi sending good thoughts your way and praying, praying, praying that everything will be fine.
CC..that is so funny. I just live to read your posts, they are always so entertaining. Always something going on in your life, LOL.
Thea, I hope your hands are better by now. Our weather is turning cooler and I can always tell because that is when my right knee and hip start giving me problems. Sometimes the hip is so bad that I have a hard time climbing in and out of the truck.
As for what I've been up to today...finished the laundry that didn't get finished yesterday, took the boys to their all-day TaeKwonDo camp, put a pot roast in the oven, filled gas in the car and got it washed, went grocery shopping and all before 10:00 am. The rest of my day has been spent in front of this computer or the sewing machine. I sew for awhile and when the shoulders and neck start hurting, I move to the computer. So it's just back and forth, back and forth. Have to go pick the boys up in another hour or so. I think they are going to their Dad's over in Sacramento this weekend. It's not his weekend, but he hasn't taken them since Christmas break. He's a deadbeat Dad, but he is their father and they love him. Glad I don't have to see him anymore, though.
Well, back to sewing for a while.
oooOO! You are so evil, Sukochi! I can just see th total panic on DD's face if I asked her to explain a package like that!! LOL But, alas, I didn't think of it. I just hurried and called the neighbor and explained that her package had been delivered to me by mistake. I swear, she was here to get it before I got the phone hung up!! What I can't figure out is why it weighed so much if my assumption was correct about what it contained. Gosh that box musta been 2.5-3 lbs!! My experienceis pretty limited but I always thought they sold it by the oz....
What am I up to today? Well, just too much. Went to my quilt group this morning.-- after I had a dissagreemwnt with my Dr office about why they didn't call my prescription in 3 days ago as asked . I as out of my blood pressure meds this morning. This afternoon I called my arthritis Dr and got a late afternoon appt. as I could no longer sleep due to shoulder pain. So saw him and he injected my shoulder and both thumbs. Now maybe I can get some more quilt sewing done. Picked 6 Siberian tomatoes off of my only surviving tomato plant. That thing was a monster plant. It went up and over the six foot trellis and around it and under the bay window. The tomatoes are still green, but they will ripen on the counter. Suppossedly they are supposed to survive very cold weather. They are just as green but my other tomatoes have been affected heavily by the frosts that we have had. I just wonder how cold it has to get to affect this Russian tomato plant.
I had started a simple row quilt 5x9 piecs separated by a 2 inch strip. Well, wouldn't you know I did a real stupid thing. I had been eyeballing my 1/4 " seams and the part way thru, I switched to my 1/4 " foot instead. Shouldn't have done that. My eyeballing wasn't accurate. Now I have to tear out 2 1/2 rows and resew every block. Grrr, how stupid. Like changing horses in the middle of the stream. Just doesn't work. Heigh ho, heigh ho its off to work I go now. Ginny
Hi everyone, I am at a small inn in western Connecticut tonight...and the fall leaves are beautiful! There was some wind last night and rain this morning, so some leaves had fallen, but it still was a nice show on the hillsides. This Inn is gorgeous...designed by Mizzner(?) who designed the Palm Beach, FL pink palaces. Beautiful building and grounds. It has real re-production Morris wallpaper throughout and one of the huge cast-concrete fireplaces that Mizzner is famous for.
I found one quilt store in our ramblings today and they had the perfect fabric for the beach sand that I have been looking for to go with the log-cabin fish blocks I did at the Leavenworth Retreat. Only problem was that they only had one fat-quarter left and I don't know who the designer or manufacturer is (the FQ I got did not have the selvage section with that info). The DH was manning the store while I was there, so I am going to call back tomorrow morning and hope to get the owner so she can give me the info. Two other quilters were in the shop and told me of another shop where they "think" they saw more of that fabric....about another hour and half north of where we were. I am still hoping to get as far north as Keepsake Quilting, but DH will have the final word on that as we need to be back near Bradley Intl Airport (by Hartford, CT) by tomorrow night. Our flight leaves for Seattle at 6:10am Sunday morning.
I'll post pictures when we get back home...
Winthrop, WA
Okay, I am back.. Does anyone have the name and address of the company that resharpens the rotary blades? I am out of Olfa's and I tried using those rug cutting blades from that tool store. Sorry, I don't remember the name of it now. Guess that I don't want to those blades are no good. Ginny
Maybe the plants are still in the pots and she is going to start growing her own....hmmmmm
Vinton, Virginia
Sure hope your dr doesn't get his steriods from the company with contaminated meds. There has been 184 reported cases of fungal meningitis and one case of joint issues from the injections in the state of Virginia. We have had 44 deaths. I was really a little disconcerted to learn that the place that did my MRI used those drugs and had several cases of meningitis reported from their injections. Thankfully my surgeon has an interventionalist in his practice and they only use kenalog and none of the compound drugs.
Donna B:the perfect fabric for the beach sand
Donna, I have half a yard of some beach fabric that has sand, rocks, a few shells and starfish and beach grass. You are welcome to have it. I picked it up a long time ago, but have no plans for it. Is the fabric you have just sand or does it have anything on the sand?

Today My Quilting Guild is haveing our quilt show ,so I'll be gone till later afternoon. we REally have it set up great and I hope we have a good turnout. We are expecting storms today so I hope this doesn't keep floks home . I have pictures I'll post later .. Have a great day all .barbara
I hope to get the borders on Nolan's quilt today, then figure out the quilting that I want to do. DD may be coming out and we will hit a new cupcake store and then try a new cheese store! We love our cheese! Ordered some patterns from KQ and can't wait to get those.
Pretty tired lately, DH has been working 11 hour days. I get up w/him and see him off, I just like to do that . . . He works so hard. Praying his hours aren't this nuts for too much longer. Poor guy. He wants to work on the house yet, and then DDIL's dad is in hospice, so they have asked DH to make his urn. Kinda hard thing to make. DH has our double vanity to make, our new closet and some nightstands. Plus he needs to figure out how to do our new snail shower, which is actually round like a snail shell.
I am so tired, but I know he is more tired. Made him pizza last night, he LOVES my pizza! I think if I wanted to open a pizza place he would help me. :-) Well, better get my breakfast and finish laundry so I can feel better about quilting! LOL!
Praying for all those who are sick or dealing w/health issues. May the Lord hold you and give you peace and the doctors wisdom.
Have a great weekend!
Auntie and I saw Annie last night. There is a huge difference between broadway and Spokane productions. WOW. We had a wonderful day together while the princess cousin and my other aunt were off on their own. To day we see jersey boys, go to the top of the empire state building after dark and tomorrow, we are headed home to rain and snow, which we sorely need. The weather here has been perfect. Not too hot, not too cold, not too wet, just right. After two weeks gone, I will be so glad to spend some time at home. And, my sweetie arrives home tonight, so he will be waiting for me.

ROYAL OAK -- As the operator of one of only two Shih Tzu dog rescues in Michigan, Cathi White is used to calls from desperate animal lovers.
Last week a representative of the Allegan County Animal Shelter asked her to help place 60 dogs, mostly Shih Tzus and Pomeranians. White wasn't fazed.
"Sometime people get a little dramatic," she said. "I thought the woman was exaggerating."
Turns out this time the caller was underestimating the need to find homes for displaced dogs.
"It's 350 and counting," White said. "I couldn't believe it."
Allegan County officials reportedly confiscated 353 dogs, including about a dozen that are pregnant, from a breeder in Cheshire Township.
"This is so overwhelming. I don't know what to do," White said. "If I could find foster homes for just 10 dogs that would be a help."
The founder of the Shih Tzu and Japanese Chin Rescue is asking anybody in a position to open their home to one of the dogs until it is adopted to contact her.
The dogs were surrendered Monday to authorities, according to Wood-TV8. Many reportedly were filthy with some covered in feces and needing medical care. They are all being groomed and checked by vets.
"They're almost all adoptable," said White, who has three rescued Shih Tzu dogs as pets and one up for adoption already. "We need foster homes. That's the biggest thing."
A dog fosterer needs to make a time commitment, usually two or three months, until a permanent home is found; keep the dog indoors; care for grooming needs; and preferably not have too many other dogs, White said.
"Shih Tzu experience is a plus," she added. "They are high maintenance. They need to be brushed every day and have the gunk cleaned out of their eyes."
What do dog fosterers get in return?
"Oh my gosh, they are very affectionate, loving dogs and cute as anything," White said.
She plans to go and pick up as many of the displaced dogs as she can find foster homes for in the metropolitan Detroit area.
"From what I understand, the dogs were taken from a woman who started out as a breeder and then it got out of hand," she said.
Allegan County Animal Control is still investigating. It isn't clear if anyone will face charges.
The need to find foster and adoptive homes for hundreds of dogs troubles White.
"Sadly with the bad economy the number of foster homes for dogs keeps dropping off," she said. "People are moving to places that don't allow pets or combining households. Their dogs don't get along and they can only keep one."
If anyone would like to foster one of the dogs White brings back from Allegan County, contact her by email at email@example.com.
If anyone wants to help the Allegan County Animal Shelter, which is equipped to handle 36 dogs, call 269-686-5112 or send a check to their office at 2293 33rd St., Allegan, MI 49010.

Her name is Hayden Winters. She's in the new Flintstones xxx movie. More of her please...
Sorry gotta give her a 9/10 due to Tattoo on her back and never got a good look at her tits.
At least she looks half respectable unlike 90 percent of the chicks on here!
If only her voice wouldn't be so damn annoying.
OOOoo xD
She is 7/10 at best
Really... the ring light affect is old, She is cute. he... looser. prob 15 years older and just bangs away like he is doing something for her... Porn is getting boring.
I would give her an 8. Yes she does have an Ivory soap quality to her that we dont see too much of in porn, but you have to discount for the ranaway bride eyes...way too much teeth whitener and that dumb tattoo down her spine. Also, she looks at the camera too much.
sweet girl.....good thang he shaves his balls, cuz it tricked me into thinking his cock was was bigger. dude lives in mom's basement for sure.
Holy shit, that was different.
hottest gal on youporn! any idea of a name ?
Wow, she's fantastic
i wish i had roomies like that
I love it when the guy puts his hand on the woman's head... it's a form of domination. I do it to my girl all the time and she never complains :)
you must of had your eyes closed when you were jacking off Robby cause there is a short but definite view of her tits at the 2:00 mark!!
Perfect girl, fabulous face & smile. Hope to see more of her.
she is far above perfect, I want her wrapped under my christmas tree

Her voice is so sexy too!!
Jesus she is hot!
Joder que culo pedazo de culo
she's not a 10, a 5 maybe.
She really is hot with her smile, eyes and face... But I don't really like the tatoo on the back. If she is Clever in the inside maybe that would be perfect !
With tits that nice it's a travesty that they only appeared for a split second.
Very cute and sexy looking girl. Unfortunately, doesn't know anything about giving head.
Hey, that tatoo on her back has some deep meaning in Chinese. 'Love the little girl voice.
her pussy looks delightful
very cute great voice wants to see a better facials a huge facial on her. fuckable
she is perfect
In response to the comment that stated she is "ways to good for porn" - I don't feel that way. I think that in this modern age, we can logically dismiss the irrational guilt and shame that people still have about porn and sex. As long as a woman fully consents to being in porn, not only should she have that right, but I believe it's a valid career choice for a young woman to make. The money is good, and the "work" is enjoyable. That said it's obviously not for everyone, and I do have respect for people that still have moral objects to porn, even though I think that view is obsolete.
maybe we should call her "Robyn" the knob goblin
her name is Hayden Winters she is so hot but has recently had her hair cut short?????
this guy apparently likes to show us his cock and have us listen to him speak rather than showing us the girls.....who gives a fuck about him and his dick, show us more tits and pussy you dick head......for that he gets 1 star.

A while ago my laptop started having a problem. At about 9-11 at night, all sound on my laptop would stop working (anything I was listening to when it stopped would just make a buzzing noise), and then the true vector shield would crash and I would need to restart. Eventually this stopped however, until recently it started happening again. It happened a couple of times, well spread out, and at about that time the next update came out so I downloaded and installed that, but the problem carried on. Since then it's gotten worse and worse, and now it is happening every night.
Each time I run a virus-scan and an ad-aware scan, and each finds nothing major (except for tracking cookies).
I'm generally using windows media player, msn with only a couple of conversation windows open, and firefox with about 3 tabs open when I hit problems.
Also, I have no idea if it is related, but problems have also started at start-up. Afew things that run on launch don't appear as an icon in the bottom right corner, usually AVG anti-virus, and the battery and volume icons which are always set to be displayed need resetting in order to have them display.
Does anyone know what could be causing the problems with zone alarm, and if there is a way to fix it?

Here's the current state of the Titanic Divison
Philadelphia 5 7 0.417
Toronto 4 7 0.364
Boston 4 8 0.333
New York 3 7 0.300
Brooklyn 3 7 0.300
The best record which belongs to Philly would put them
3rd in the Central Division
4th in the Southeast Division
4th in the Northwest Division
4th (Tied) in the Pacific Division
5th in the Southwest Division
The raps are currently .5 games back of Philly which means a win tonight would make us division leaders. For those of you who don't know if you win your division you are automatically guaranteed a top 4 seed in the playoffs and home court advantage in the first round.
IS it possible for the Raps to win the division, yes! Should we confuse winning the division with being a contender if our actual record would leave us as an 7th or 8th seed? NO!
I meant to write more but my wife is getting mad and I have to go... Will be back later to rejoin the discuss and or elaborate on my thoughts!

man... was just reading about this..
what a douche..
People that hate him directly from this occurrence
Assistant coach,
all 3 Referees
3 of his own Teammates
the announcers
the entire NBA, and PBA
The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!
Hold on, is this a co-ed league? i think i spotted a female..
Renaldo Balkman has to earn a special place somewhere for pitiful fall out of the NBA, and now, probably professional basketball everywhere. I know he wasn't ever a super talented player, but that decline is pretty impressive. Shows how important personality is...not just because he's clearly a nut, but because the dude isn't even 30 and he's about to wash out of the filipino league...just wow. I mean, he was drafted as a hustle player and was supposed to have a strong work ethic...talk about getting it wrong (though the Knicks picked him, so it makes some sense)
This is the PBA, it's not as big as the other Europe leagues, but there's some talent there. Being a Filipino-Canadian, I know quite a bit about it.
Man, to be honest, I was more disappointed in the PBA and their "no-balls" to handle the situation and throw Renaldo out of the game. They should have handled the entire situation better, had they done that, there wouldn't be such thing of "choking a teammate."
It is his fault, 100%, but, it has to be handled better. The Philippines in general has never been known to handle public altercations well when it's with other races.

Renaldo Balkman is stupid
Renaldo Balkman has always been a bone-head. The guy was a solid role player, but his head was always somewhere else.

I remember playing pick up ball with my cousins in Manila when I was a kid. . I got hit in the balls more times than I shot the ball... the Philippines ain't the place to play if you have anger issues

Fun in San AntonioClick MORE ARMY: Here to view this Link. | Full coverageClick MORE ARMY: Here to view this Link.
SAN ANTONIO - Some felt it began on the first series - when two successful pass defenses led to a three-and-out for the East.
Others felt it started at the first practice on Monday - when the West defensive backs realized their unit might be pretty special.
Then again, it may have started months ago and miles away from here - when the California dominated-group began meeting up at various camps and combines.
This much is clear: The West defensive backs were the best unit in the 24-12 Army Bowl victory over the East on Saturday at the Alamodome.
They picked off passes, forced fumbles, chased down runners in the backfield. And they hit. Oh, did they hit.
"We had a bond right from the start," Ishmael Adams of Westlake Christian (Calif.) Oaks Christian said. "That's important. Once you get the bond and realize that everyone else has got your back you can really go after it and that was we did."
Adams was one of five California players in the secondary.
Shaq Thompson, a five-star from Sacramento (Calif.) Grant, led the contingent. They were joined by Byron Marshall of San Jose (Calif.) Valley Christian, Brandon Beaver of Compton (Calif.) Dominguez and Kevon Seymour of Pasadena (Calif.) Muir.
"I knew we were going to be good on the first day because I knew a lot of these guys already," Adams said. "But once I saw some of the other guys could get after it, I said, 'Ok, let's go do it.' "
Edward Pope of Carthage (Texas) High led the Lone Star State contingent. He was joined by Texans LaDarrell McNeil of Dallas Wilmer-Hutchins and Kendall Sanders of Athens High.
The trio discovered at the beginning of the week that this was no ordinary group - and that this was no ordinary all-star game.
"At the first practice, they said there wasn't going to be any hitting - and then on the first play, guys were tackling," he said. "We kind of said, 'Ok, if this is how it's going to be, it's time to get down to business.' "
They did just that.
The West quarterbacks combined to go just 11-for-22 for 140 yards. They threw three interceptions but not a single touchdown.
"They had some great athletes back there," five-star East quarterback Gunner Kiel said.
The unit credited assistant coach Gary Green of San Antonio Sam Houston for molding those athletes into all-stars.
"The coach kept telling us to get all out," Pope said. "He just wanted to see us attack the ball and hit. He said he didn't care what happened as long as we kept hitting."
Even if they weren't always credited for their efforts.
Adams stripped the East's Stefon Diggs of the ball early in the game. The officials ruled the ball went out of bounds, but replays -and Diggs - suggested otherwise.
"He told me, 'I got away with one out there,' " Adams said of Diggs. "I said, 'It's no big deal. I'm not going to go crazy about it, it's an all-star game.' "
All-stars is the best way to describe this unit.

Would have thought of a better choice. Wonder if he will bring a 16 oz. soda with him.

Bloomberg has not been kind to the West Coast in the past, let us hope this will change his mind. Easterners often look down on Stanford, in spite of the fact that JFK attended there.

I guess this is the start of Bloomberg's independent candidacy for the 2016 Presidential election.
a resident of Evergreen Park

Seems like a reasonable choice to me. Since he very well could be a presidential candidate, it will be a nice opportunity to hear him up close. He certainly has potential to attract a lot of the political "middle" ground.
The soda tax, while unlikely to be successful in fixing obesity and other ill effects of our diets, is certainly increasing the visibility of the problem and of one of its significant causes. I'm ambivalent about the tax, so that doesn't bother me.
Bloomberg's decision on the NYC campus, while disappointing for us, was likely necessary (politically) once Cornell got into the mix. I wouldn't hold that against him either.
a resident of Evergreen Park
on Feb 25, 2013 at 4:25 pm
Also, in response to "West is Best", I agree with your sentiment, but don't expect Easterners to treat us nicely because of Kennedy's Stanford connection. I doubt if many people realize that he spent an ENTIRE quarter here (after graduating from Harvard and before enlisting in the Navy). :)

Bloomberg is a traitor to his fellow one percenters. After Hurricane Sandy wiped out parts of his city, Bloomberg became a believer in global warming. Other one percenters are holding the line on global warming denial, no matter how much evidence the scientists give them.

Brian, thanks for the great and humorous clarification on the JFK "one quarter" at Stanford. And besides, people should stop comparing the two coasts educationally. Stanford does just fine with respect to the world's perception of it as a great educational and research institution, and now apparently, one of the best fundraisers, exceeding one billion this past year. Surpassing both Harvard and Yale!

Let me see if I've got this straight: Hennessy and Stanford invest 3 million outside dollars plus much more in internal expenditures in a proposal for a campus in NYC. Bloomberg plays bait and switch at the last minute and Stanford bites the big one. Sayonara, Stanford, congrats Cornell!
Now Hennessy and Stanford are inviting the architect of this disaster to be the commencement speaker at Stanford's graduation ceremonies. Bloomberg, the very same guy who's using his big bucks to buy his way in, in an extraordinarily classless way, to London society. Question to psychology dept: Is Hennessy a masochist? Or will Bloomberg buy us the Bloomberg Underground Repository for excess sugar from 16 oz drinks in return for his visit?
This is even better than Carly Fiorina, architect of the HP disaster.
When my daughter graduated, Ted Koppel spoke.
When I graduated, someone else spoke, can't quite remember who, but he had something to do with cameras.
Oh Stanford, Brave Stanford...

EL SEGUNDO – Dean Lombardi went to summer school. The Kings' general manager took a graduate-level course to solve one riddle: Why is it so difficult for championship teams to repeat?
Is it better to return the roster intact, or make some mild shake-ups? What would it take to ensure that the Kings, who last June won their first Stanley Cup, wouldn't immediately fade back to also-ran status?
For answers, Lombardi cut a wide swath. He spoke with Bill Stoneman, general manager of the 2002 World Series champion Angels; with Ronnie Lott, four-time Super Bowl champion with the San Francisco 49ers; with Theo Epstein, architect of the first Boston Red Sox championship team in 86 years, and many others.
What did Lombardi take away? Just go play, starting today, when the Kings take on Chicago at Staples Center in the lockout-delayed season opener. The "championship hangover" is a myth.
"It's a ridiculous concept. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy," Lombardi said. "Like one guy told me, these players know how great the feeling is, to strive, to go through everything they went through, all that work. For them to know how great that winning feeling is at the end, that's a distinct advantage.
"So, why do people approach this as, 'Wow, why is it so difficult to repeat?' when the question should be, 'Why isn't it easy to repeat?' There is a lot of logic to that."
Recent history disagrees. The NHL hasn't had a repeat champion since Detroit beat Philadelphia in 1997 and Washington in 1998. It's even more pronounced since the NHL put in a salary-cap system in 2005.
The Kings are the seventh championship team of the salary-cap era. Of the previous six, only one returned to the Final the following year (Detroit, 2008-09), Three of the six teams (including the Ducks) lost in the first round, and Carolina, which won the Cup in 2006, missed the playoffs entirely the following year.
Among the four major pro leagues, the NHL has the longest current gap without a repeat champion. The Lakers won in 2009 and 2010. The New England Patriots won in 2004 and 2005. The New York Yankees won in 1999 and 2000.
Kings defenseman Rob Scuderi, who reached the Final in consecutive years with Pittsburgh (2008, 2009) cited NHL parity as an explanation, but it might be mostly physiological.
By nature, hockey players physically exert themselves more than their colleagues in other sports. The NHL season is also the longest. The Stanley Cup Final is usually completed in mid-June, and training camp opens three months later. To that end, the Kings might have a slight advantage now.
The lockout, while harmful to the sport, gave the Kings a chance to get the partying out of their systems. Instead of a three-month break, the Kings will end up going seven months between games.
"We would have been ready to go," Scuderi said. "At the same time, it's also nice to get a little bit of extra rest, but I think this stretch was longer than any of us would have hoped. As much as you would like a little more time to rest, nobody wanted to miss any hockey."
It's been awhile, but these Kings haven't changed much. All 21 players who were in uniform during the Stanley Cup Final are back, including playoff MVP goalie Jonathan Quick, captain Dustin Brown and leading scorer Anze Kopitar, who will miss the start of the season because of a knee injury.
"There's an air of confidence in the room," winger Dustin Penner said, "but also we know that we're going to be targeted by every team that comes in here, and in every building we walk into. Everybody wants to measure themselves up against us."
Lombardi and Coach Darryl Sutter received contract extensions Friday that will carry them through the 2016-17 season. …
Veteran defenseman Willie Mitchell also will not play in the opener because of a knee injury.

Since we knew once the rally started we wouldn't really be doing much riding we headed out to Bloomsburg early.
One of the interesting things we got to do was ride the Millersburg Ferry to cross the Susquehanna river. It was funny that with all the high tech ways we use to communicate today, a simple open or closed door across the river is still an effective way to signal the ferry driver.

Please Please Please test the soil for TCE and the projected movement of the TCE plume before granting any permits to build, and do not allow any development if there are signs or expected future signs of TCE vapors due to the plume's movements.
We've been down this road before in this area, now we have a chance to make sure we don't have to go through it again.

I agree with John McAlister. It is good to see "ownership" housing being built in the city. Mountain View is fast becoming a city of transient renters.

I am very concerned about the traffic in the neighborhood. As more and more people work and move into this general area, our neighborhood streets are being used as pass-throughs. The streets in this neighborhood are not large enough for the traffic now using them (partially due to all the vehicles parking on both sides of the streets because there isn't enough parking for the current residents). This will only get worse. Much of the housing here is rental housing. This neighborhood needs speed bumps installed to slow traffic down and to discourage misuse on streets such as Gladys and Tyrella. There definitely needs to be special attention paid to the area of Easy Street between Central Expressway and the on-ramp to 85. Drivers come off an expressway with a 45mph speed-limit onto a street with a 25mph speed-limit, yet treat the street like a long on-ramp to a freeway with a 65mph speed-limit. With the new homes coming in and new businesses going in further down Middlefield, this is the perfect time to address our traffic mitigation needs.

Great Auntie, I too am concerned about the traffic on Gladys, Tyrella,
and Ada. Our little neighborhood streets have become extended on ramps
for high-performance sports cars trying to get onto HWY 85.
I live on Ada near the corner of Gladys and am tired of commuter busses
coming down Ada with only a "yield" sign at Ada & Gladys. Speed
bumps are definitely needed on Ada and a stop sign.

WayBackMachine TonePrint by Gary Lucas
Gary really likes his delays to play 'against the guitar' or for a more crazy effect to just create contrast – he uses delays for fun, and he nailed it with this TonePrint. Gary went with a reverse delay with a bit of the dry signal, but very distorted and nasal. Not a clean, pristine sound in the traditional sense, this delay harkens back to the best of the 60s warped out sounds but has a cool futuristic vibe.

|En route from Connecticut to Providence, we took Rt. 101 instead of US-6 so we could include the littlest state's highpoint. The "hike" is a very nice stroll through a pine forest, nearly flat, to the summit rock. Even with a recent knee-replacement surgery, my mother-in-law could handle this one!

How Forensic DNA Matching Works
"Who's been eating my porridge?" cried Baby Bear. "And who's been sitting in my chair?" Goldilocks was caught in the act, but most mysteries aren't solved so easily. That's where DNA matching can help. The main objective of DNA matching analysis is to help identify biological traces from people who have been present in an area being investigated and figure out who they are.
In criminal investigations, DNA matching is used to identify victims and suspects, and also to exclude people from suspicion based on their DNA "fingerprint." But DNA matching can be used in other types of investigations as well, including private investigators, investigative journalists, writers and other people doing research for personal projects or purposes.
ARCpoint Labs of Limerick Can Collect Samples for DNA Matching From Many Objects
The technology of DNA analysis is continuously improving so that more and more information can be collected and analyzed from more diverse locations and objects and from smaller samples of biological material and residue. ARCpoint Labs of Limerick personnel are continuously trained to carefully collect DNA samples from objects and individuals. We can collect samples from:
- Clothing
- Cigarette butts
- Undergarments
- Drinking cups
- Toothbrushes
- Combs
- Bedding and more
Touch DNA, used by forensic scientists to finally exclude the parents of Jon Benet Ramsey as suspects in the decades old murder investigation, can use smaller and smaller samples, gathered from more and more objects and surfaces to identify different individuals.
Accuracy & Confidentiality Guaranteed by ARCpoint Labs of Limerick
The variety of matters subject to DNA matching are continually increasing. These matters are often of a sensitive nature, dealing with people's most intimate, personal and vulnerable circumstances. ARCpoint Labs' of Limerick quality and confidentiality protocols insures your results will be accurate and reliable. With experience in many types of clients and requests, you can rely on us for keeping your data confidential.

The building will house the city's water and street departments. Once the sale is finalized and minor adjustments are made to the building, the city employees will occupy the facility.
"It's pretty well set up for exactly how we would want to build a building," Mayor Jerry Williams said.
The city also approved rezoning a property on River Road to R-1. Williams said the property owner is looking to either sell the property or build houses on two lots.
Aldermen also discussed Monday a parcel of property adjacent to City Park. Williams said a title search has determined the owners of a piece of property where bathrooms are being built. Those owners will be offered a sum of money to allow the city to assume ownership of the property.
Russellville Planning Commission, Board of Adjustments
Russellville's Planning Commission passed a motion Monday to table consideration of a preliminary plat for the Overland Park subdivision. The City Council sent the plat back to the commission for consideration after an alternative proposal was offered at the council's meeting last week.
At its December meeting, the Planning Commission will hear discussion on the proposed subdivision for the third time.
The commission also recommended approval to close a portion of West C Street located at the corner of West C Street and North Inglewood Avenue.
During the Board of Adjustment's meeting Monday, a request was approved for a 23-foot variance from the side yard setback requirement to allow a proposed wash bay at ZEBCON located at 2808 E. 16th St.

Beebe on Friday met with U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius in Washington while in town for the National Governors Association winter meeting.
Beebe said in a statement released by his office that he spoke with Sebelius about expansion ideas he's heard from lawmakers. The ideas include a proposal to allow those eligible for Medicaid under the expansion to instead buy private insurance through an exchange created under the federal health care law.
Beebe is a Democrat who supports expanding Medicaid's eligibility under the federal health law. He's faced resistance from the Republican-led House and Senate.


text: Re: Typhon Pact: Zero Sum Game Review thread The story starts to heat after Chapter 20. We see how Julian's compassionate can be both a strength and weakness. I don't like when asks if having to put another person's life in danger is some kind of "elitism of the genetically engineered." No, it's part of being in Starfleet, you doofus!!! Spoiler: Julian and Sarina After seeing them pour their hearts out to each other right before he deflowers her, I'm convinced now that Sarina's really using Section 31. She knows of the necessity of deceiving others while doing undercover work, but from the closing scene of "Chrysalis", I doubt that she can fake those feelings. Seska definitely, but not Sarina.
