LaCie has announced a new version of the LaCie Little Big Disk external hard drive that features support for Intel's new Thunderbolt technology.
Initially, Apple's new MacBook Pro range is the first set of devices to support Thunderbolt and other PC vendors may not use Thunderbolt technology in their new models until next year.
However, external hard drive makers such as LaCie and Western Digital have got Thunderbolt-compatible products in the pipeline and La Cie has today unveiled more details of its device.
"Thunderbolt technology is a breakthrough in I/O technology and represents the future of mobile computing. Soon you will be able to carry workstation-class power and functionality in compact devices," said Philippe Spruch, Chairman and General Manager, LaCie. "LaCie is excited to be one of the first to deliver Thunderbolt technology with the LaCie Little Big Disk."
"Intel believes Thunderbolt technology in combination with LaCie's unique portfolio of storage products and displays will drive new levels of performance and simplicity for consumers," said Jason Ziller, Director, Thunderbolt Planning and Marketing, Intel Corporation.
The Thunderbolt-compatible version of the Little Big Disk won't launch until the summer, though, and pricing was not immediately available.
Under the code name Light Peak, Intel's Thunderbolt technology was first introduced in 2009 and has a theoretical maximum data transfer rate of 10Gbps.
This compares to USB 3.0's 4Gbps, the 800Mbps offered by Firewire 800 and USB 2.0's 480Mbps. However, Intel has stated that it does not intend Thunderbolt to be a replacement to USB 3.0 - which is struggling to gain a foothold in the market - but a complimentary technology. Initially, it is aimed at audio and video professionals and enthusiasts.
Using adaptors, Thunderbolt is compatible with most other connectivity protocols but is based on PCI Express technology, which most Macs use for I/O. Thunderbolt currently communicates with devices using PCI Express for data transfers and DisplayPort for displays, Intel said. All devices can connect to a PC using a single hub, reducing the need to have multiple connectors.
This story, "LaCie Unveils Thunderbolt-Compatible Little Big Disk" was originally published by Macworld U.K..

Conversion from Hinduism to Christianity and Islam and back again, long a "so what?" topic, is a headline-worthy issue today in India. It was a hundred years ago, April, 1899, when Swami Vivekananda gave the following interview in Prabuddha Bharata magazine. It is reprinted by the RK Mission in "The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda" (v. 5, p. 233), an eight-volume set containing many wonderfully unvarnished gems of Swami's thought in letters to friends and fellow monks and in interviews like this to local publications. Here he takes a strident tone, declaring that conversion is not only possible, but desirable. When traveling in the West, Swamiji often said he came to convert no one, that his Vedanta would make a Christian a better Christian. This was a prudent policy for the time in the West, when Christians took a dim view of missionaries of other religions who had the temerity to invade Christian home territory. The RK Mission today pursues a policy of "no conversion" of lay people, though it allows, according to Swami Atmarupananda of the Ridgely Manor retreat center, that monks who have taken sannyas are considered Hindus, whatever their previous faith--and Christians, Muslims and Sikhs have entered the RK Order. In the '30s, Swami Agamanandaji of Kalady Centre, Kerala, engaged in reconversion and issued certificates recognized by the state government. Asked about the issue, Mission General Secretary Swami Smaranananda said, "All conversion smells of politics," a statement that explains the Mission's current stand against conversion. Vivekananda had quite sternly forbade the Order to engage in politics, judging such worldly enterprises to be the downfall of many religious organizations. In India, every conversion has political overtones and ramifications, so the present Mission policy to stay aloof from the issue can be viewed as a compromise between two directives. Still, it is useful to know what Swami Vivekananda said on the issue. The interviewer's name is not given.
Having been directed by the editor to interview Swami Vivekananda on the question of converts to Hinduism, I found an opportunity one evening on the roof of a Ganges houseboat. It was after nightfall, and we had stopped at the embankment of the Ramakrishna Math, and there the Swami came down to speak with me. "I want to see you, Swami," I began, "on this matter of receiving back into Hinduism those who have been perverted from it. Is it your opinion that they should be received?" "Certainly," said the Swami, "they can and ought to be taken." He sat gravely for a moment, thinking, and then resumed. "Besides," he said, "we shall otherwise decrease in numbers. When the Mohammedans first came, we are said--I think on the authority of Ferishta, the oldest Mohammedan historian--to have been six hundred millions of Hindus. Now we are about two hundred millions. And then every man going out of the Hindu pale is not only a man less, but an enemy the more.
"Again, the vast majority of Hindu perverts to Islam and Christianity are perverts by the sword, or the descendants of these. It would be obviously unfair to subject these to disabilities of any kind. As to the case of born aliens, did you say? Why, born aliens have been converted in the past by crowds, and the process is still going on. "In my own opinion, this statement not only applies to aboriginal tribes, to outlying nations, and to almost all our conquerors before the Mohammedan conquest, but also to all those castes who find a special origin in the Puranas. I hold that they have been aliens thus adopted.
"Ceremonies of expiation are no doubt suitable in the case of willing converts, returning to their Mother Church, as it were; but on those who were alienated by conquest--as in Kashmir and Nepal--or on strangers wishing to join us, no penance should be imposed." "But of what caste would these people be, Swamiji?" I ventured to ask. "They must have some, or they can never be assimilated into the great body of Hindus. Where shall we look for their rightful place?"
"Returning converts," said the Swami quietly, "will gain their own castes, of course. And new people will make theirs. You will remember," he added, "that this has already been done in the case of Vaishnavism. Converts from different castes and aliens were all able to combine under that flag and form a caste by themselves--and a very respectable one too. From Ramanuja down to Chaitanya of Bengal, all great Vaishnava teachers have done the same."
"And where should these new people expect to marry?" I asked. "Amongst themselves, as they do now," said the Swami quietly.
"Then as to names," I enquired, "I suppose aliens and perverts who have adopted non-Hindu names should be named newly. Would you give them caste names, or what?"
"Certainly," said the Swami, thoughtfully, "there is a great deal in a name!" and on this question he would say no more.
But my next enquiry drew blood. "Would you leave these new-comers, Swamiji, to choose their own form of religious belief out of many-visaged Hinduism, or would you chalk out a religion for them?" "Can you ask that?" he said. "They will choose for themselves. For unless a man chooses for himself, the very spirit of Hinduism is destroyed. The essence of our Faith consists simply in this freedom of the Ishta." I thought the utterance a weighty one, for the man before me has spent more years than any one else living, I fancy, in studying the common bases of Hinduism in a scientific and sympathetic spirit, and the freedom of the Ishta is obviously a principle big enough to accommodate the world.
But the talk passed to other matters, and then with a cordial good night this great teacher of religion lifted his lantern and went back into the monastery, while I, by the pathless paths of the Ganga, in and out amongst her crafts of many sizes, made the best of my way back to my Calcutta home.

(Picture taken from Chanel website)
The new Chanel eye palette is, I think something very different from the rest of the collection. It has a different formulation as compared to the normal Chanel eye quads. I have not tried the duos nor the singles before so I can't comment on its quality.
It was quite hard for me to decide between the Regard Perle quad and the quint. I love both shade combinations but eventually I decided that I wanted this more because it looked more wearable on me.
The quint comes in a soft plush velvet pouch to help get rid of those pesky fingerprints left on the luxe black casing. Interesting enough this is made in Japan, I assumed it would be made in France. It comes with two sponge applicators and a little brush applicator. There is also a plastic thingamagig that covers the eyeshadows and helps protect the eyeshadows.
It contains 5 soft shades with a pearl finish. It looks quite different in different lighting so I took some under bright sunlight and indoors. I turned it this way and that to try capture the shine.
It is soft to the touch. Not really very creamy but not hard as well. It is softly pigmented especially the champagne and pink shades. It takes a few swipes for the colour to appear on my lids. The darker shades were a tad more pigmented. I find that using the sponge applicators works well for me. The swatches below were swatched dry. Couldn't bear to do wet swatches though. Sorry! Anyway I did try them wet on my lids. The colours stood out and were a lot more pigmented. These had great staying power with no fall out at all.
All in all, I love this palette. Very in line with spring, full of soft colours that complement each other. It seems to me like it is a cool palette but I'm still able to make the colours work for my skintone. My favourite shades are the plum and green grey shade. If you are into strong colours, this may not be a palette for you.

EDC Update; Business Survey
Hi from Stephen Michna, a commissioner of the city's Economic Development Commission.
The EDC has been busy planning a business visitation survey program over the past 6 months. Commission members came up with a few questions that we'd like to ask local business owners; like why did you decide on Torrington, what keeps you in Torrington, and what are the weaknesses and strengths of Torrington in the business world?
We hope answers to these questions will help us better plan for the economic growth of our city. Hard data doesn't hurt, and it will help us make good decisions.
If you are interested in sharing your opinion on these questions or participating out more about this survey, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or stop by any of our EDC meetings. They are on the first Tuesday of every month in the City Council Chambers at 5pm.
-- Stephen Michna, Economic Development Commission, Torrington
Accuses Mustich of ignoring facts
I am often amazed at the ability of those who hate Israel as Joseph Mustich clearly must based on both his past and latest submission featured in this newspaper to totally ignore any inconvenient facts which demonstrate the error of their positions.
While Mustich seems to have much compassion over the death of activist Rachel Corrie, who, it seems, deliberately put herself in harm's way, it appears his well of sympathy runs dry concerning the deaths and injuries inflicted upon unsuspecting Israeli civilians by Palestinian terrorists and their spiritual kindred over the six decades of Israel's existence.
I guess in his view when innocent Jews die in this manner, it is not even worthy of mention.
I am often appalled, but rarely surprised, to find this to be a common element in those who have, for some inexplicable reason, sided with a culture which clearly encourages such cowardly and cold-blooded attacks.
The truth of the matter is that the only peace the Palestinians and their supporters will accept is the total elimination of Israel - by any means necessary.
If they did one day accomplish that horrible goal, the evidence of 9/11 and continuing terrorist attacks across the world strongly suggest that United States and any nation which prizes freedom would provide the next prime focal points for their aggression.
-- Edward Wood, Killingworth
Mistakes on Israel
Joseph Mustich's conflation of Rachel Corrie with Anne Frank in his letter of March 5th egregiously amounts to murdering the Holocaust's most famous victim twice.
Far from "trying to help the Christian, Muslim, and secular inhabitants live in peace with their Israeli Jewish neighbors," as stated by Mustich, Ms. Corrie, a member of the International Solidarity Movement - a group opposed to the existence of the State of Israel and all measures of self-defense on the part of the Jewish state - met her regrettable and accidental death trying to protect structures that were fronts for tunnels along the border between Egypt and Gaza through which munitions and explosives intended to kill innocent Israelis were being smuggled.
Rachel Corrie's "peace" overtures lead to the deaths of numerous namesakes whose crimes were merely that they were Jewish: Rachel Ben Abu, Rachel Thaler, Rachel Levy, Rachel Levi, Rachel Charhi, Rachel Shabo, Rachel Gavish and Rachel Kol. Unfortunately, these Rachels have no academics or playwrights to bang the drum of their memories into the world's conscience.
That Mr. Mustich commented on Rachel Corrie at a reading of Howard Zinn's Voices of a People's History of the United States, is emblematic of Mustich's bias.
Zinn is on record as having called Israel a "mistake."

Activists across the country are making sure that their voices, and their stories, are being heard. We refuse to stay silent. Jocelyn Munguia is a poderosa serving her community. Her dedication, strength, and courage to overcome life's obstacles has made her the activist of the month. Read her story here:
I used to wonder why someone didn't do something about it, and then I thought to myself: I am someone.
I endured a harrowing journey when I moved from Mexico City to the U.S. at the age of 11. Life stayed tough even after my family settled in Chicago's western suburbs. I felt like an outsider in middle school, a minority for one. Gradually, though, I became more comfortable, and by the time I entered Fenton High School in Bensenville I felt as though I belonged. However, I was involved in an abusive relationship.
With no family support I had an abortion at 16. Then, when I reached my senior year, all at once, the limits of being undocumented in the U.S. became clear and I became even more depressed. I'm aware that I am not only looked down on for being young, but also for being an undocumented Latina; there are so many intersections, one doesn't wake up one day and decide which one to be.
I participated in the first Coming Out of the Shadows in downtown Chicago last year and have felt empowered ever since. I know that no matter what I do or where I go, I will keep being poderosa.
I'm a co-founder of the Latin@ Youth Action League (L@YAL), a grassroots community organization in DuPage County. Our work focuses primarily on issues the Latino community faces in the suburbs of DuPage County. Much of our recent work has focused on undocumented youth and immigration as a whole. We have held rallies, workshops, and provided access to resources to many youth in the area.
After learning about the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health (NLIRH) I also successfully organized a couple of Cafecitos in collaboration with HABLAMOS, a Latina organization in Elmhurst College. A couple of months ago I had the privilege of traveling to Washington with NLIRH, meet and advocate alongside incredible women for reproductive healthcare and healthcare for immigrant families. I also decided to organize an event around Latina reproductive health issues at College of DuPage. When I was younger I also experienced molestation and assault, and know many that have, which is why creating spaces for women to talk about serious topics in a safe and comfortable way is extremely necessary.
We, Undocumented Illinois, a collective of undocumented led organizations around the state, recently did a couple of actions focusing on stopping deportations. The actions consisted on trying to stop a bus and blocking the street outside of Broadway Detention Center and blocking traffic on Michigan Avenue in front of the Hilton Hotel asking president Obama to stop all deportations. We know that raids are still happening and families are being torn apart every day.
I know I will continue to push and strive for something better not only for myself or my family, but for many who are also directly affected.

Former Real Madrid player Santiago Solari has nothing but praise for Barcelona star Lionel Messi, hailing his compatriot's consistency as "inhuman".
Messi has been in impressive form this season, netting 38 goals in 25 La Liga appearances so far, and Solari believes the Argentina international is on another level compared to Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.
"What's really incredible about Messi is his consistency over the past four to five years. It's practically inhuman to keep going like him," Solari told Sport.
"What Messi has achieved in recent years far outweighs what Cristiano Ronaldo has done. This difference is reflected in the number of Ballons d'Or he has won."
Solari also had his say on Barcelona's struggles in recent weeks, and stated that the absence of Tito Vilanova hurts the Blaugrana.
"There's going to be doubt when a team loses one or two games," he continued.
"The worst thing that can happen to a team is that the players doubt themselves, especially in a situation where the coach is going through a difficult time. That's affecting the team."
Barcelona will be looking to return to winning ways on Saturday afternoon when they take on Real Madrid.

Student-designed Hand-cranked Cycles Unveiled at Army-Navy Game
Michigan Technological University engineering students —supported by General Motors' Chevrolet—designed and built two prototypes of hand-cranked three-wheel cycles for wounded veterans to ride in endurance races. So what better place to unveil their handiwork than the nationally televised Army-Navy football game.
The cycles will be used by the Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans in future competitions.
A member of the Achilles Freedom Team rode one of the prototype cycles out onto the field during a first-quarter time out, accompanied by Michigan Tech senior James Cook, GM Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson and GM engineer Alexa Ellswood.
Cook is a mechanical engineering major and member of one of five Senior Design teams that worked on the project, called Huskies Helping Heroes. Another Michigan Tech student, Brett Jenkins, will represent the teams at a pre-game press conference.
GM's Military Discount Program has provided hand cycles to the Achilles team in the past, but they had design issues. They proved unstable, or the components were breaking down under the pressure of racing. What could GM do to help? .
Terry Woychowski, a Michigan Tech alumnus, retired GM vice president and current member of the University's Board of Trustees, knew exactly where to turn. "I have had such excellent experiences with Senior Design at Michigan Tech," he said. "What if we sponsored a Senior Design activity based on the Achilles project? We'd not only be helping wounded warriors, we'd be supporting STEM [science, technology, engineering and math] education."
GM has long partnered with Michigan Tech, supporting research and educational programs. Senior Capstone Design program coordinator Robert DeJonge eagerly adopted Woychowski's idea.
But the scope of the project was beyond what one Senior Design team could undertake. So GM agreed to support four teams throughout 2012, and a fifth team emerged in September. Each team worked with a veteran on the Achilles Freedom Team to address their special needs and concerns. Last fall, GM brought the teams to the Detroit Free Press/Talmer Bank Marathon to see first-hand the challenges the wounded veterans faced and to give GM a preview of their designs.
Then the Michigan Tech teams integrated their best ideas into two prototypes that they proceeded to build.
One cycle is called the Keweenaw Cruiser. The other is the Tomahawk. Both use high-strength steel alloys for durability, improved restraints for comfort and safety, and designs that make them more portable and less prone to damage. For example, a pivoting fork-to-frame attachment allows the front wheel assembly to fold into the seat during transport.
"This is the most rewarding assignment I've ever worked on," said Jenkins. A senior from Troy, Mich., Jenkins will graduate from Michigan Tech later this month.
Chevrolet engineers mentored the student teams. "I loved working with the students and seeing their energy and passion, said Ellswood, one of those engineers. "This isn't their last class. It's their first job."
General Motors Co. (NYSE:GM, TSX: GMM) and its partners produce vehicles in 30 countries, and the company has leadership positions in the world's largest and fastest-growing automotive markets. GM's brands include Chevrolet and Cadillac, as well as Baojun, Buick, GMC, Holden, Jiefang, Opel, Vauxhall and Wuling. More information on the company and its subsidiaries, including OnStar, a global leader in vehicle safety, security and information services, can be found at http://www.gm.com.
The Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans was founded in 2004 by Achilles International as a rehabilitation program that trains and sponsors recently wounded servicemen to participate mainstream races across the nation. For more information, please visit our website at www.achillesinternational.org or find us on Facebook at Achilles International.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

Full game notes in PDF are available here.
Live stats and Audio are available through the links at the top of this page, on the schedule page or on the Green Terror LIVE page.
OPENING KICKOFF: Today's Centennial Conference (CC) game marks the 63rd meeting between McDaniel (4-4, 3-4 CC) and Gettysburg (5-3, 4-3 CC) in a series that dates back to 1891. The Bullets lead the all-time series 45-17-1. The Green Terror won last season in Gettysburg to return the favor from two years ago when the Bullets won in Westminster to snap a six-year stretch where the teams alternated wins and losses with the home team winning each time since McDaniel won six straight in the series.
WHEN LAST WE MET: Nick DeLuca converted three field goals, including the game-winning 20-yarder as time expired to lift McDaniel to a 22-20 victory over Gettysburg last season. The Green Terror built a 13-0 lead over the game's first 22:02 before the Bullets registered 20 of the game's next 26 points to take a one-point lead with four minutes to play. DeLuca, however, capped a 14-play march that covered 54 yards with a 20-yard field goal from the left hash to send McDaniel to its second straight road victory and first win in Gettysburg since 2001.
LAST TIME OUT: Chris DeStefano hit a pair of field goals in the final 3:57 to help Franklin & Marshall overcome a nine-point deficit and defeat McDaniel 31-28 last Saturday. John Harrison completed 42 of 60 attempts for the Diplomats for a program-record 447 yards to go with two touchdowns and four interceptions. Matt Cahill (Broomall, Pa./Haverford Twp.) caught six passes for the Green Terror, including a touchdown, for 39 yards to match Teron Powell's program record with 145 career receptions. Joe Rollins (Temple Hills, Md./Surrattsville) ran for a career-high 124 yards on 13 carries to notch McDaniel's second 100-yard rushing day of the season.
WITH HONORS: Joe Rollins and Paul Smith (Woodlawn, Md./Western Tech) earned spots on their respective CC Weekly Honor Rolls last week. Rollins earned the offensive nod after leading the Green Terror with a career-high 124 yards rushing and a touchdown on just 13 carries, averaging 9.5 yards per rush. Smith was tabbed to the defensive ledger after making a career-high 12 tackles and breaking up two passes.
LEADING THE WAY: Matt Cahill, Chris Kolb (Keymar, Md./Francis Scott Key) and Aaron Slaughter (Baltimore, Md./Loyola) will captain the squad in 2010. The three captains are the fewest named by the Green Terror since 2007 when it was just Brad Baer and Ryan Mellinger guiding the team. Cahill and Slaughter become the first three-time captains in the history of the program. Kolb will join his senior teammates as a first-time captain.
THANK YOU, SENIORS: Today marks the final home game for 16 McDaniel seniors. Among the group is 10 of the team's starters on offense and defense. Eight of those 10 have been multiple-year starters for the Green Terror, which has amassed 12 wins over the last four years.
CATCHING ON: With a season-high six catches last Saturday, Matt Cahill matched Teron Powell's (1998-2001) program record for career receptions with 145. The senior enters today having caught at least one pass in 22 straight games and has snagged a pass in 39 of his 42 games on the Hill. He is one of eight CC receivers to have an active streak of no fewer than 20 straight games with a reception. Cahill enters today's game with 1,879 career yards receiving, which ranks fourth all-time. He needs 39 yards to match Donte Abron for third all-time and just 121 yards over the final two weeks to become just the third Green Terror receiver to amass 2,000 yards receiving.
KEEP ROLLINS, ROLLINS, ROLLINS: Freshman RB Joe Rollins turned in the Green Terror's second 100-yard rushing day of the season on Saturday, running for 124 yards on just 13 carries for a 9.5-yard-per-carry average. It was the first 100-yard day by a McDaniel back since Ray O'Hara (Yardley, Pa./Conwell-Egan Catholic) ran for a career-best 120 at Juniata in the opener. Among his carries was a 48-yard dash to the end zone on the first play of the second half for his first collegiate rushing touchdown. For the year, Rollins ranks second on the team with 266 yards on the ground. He is averaging 6.5 yards on his 41 carries – the fewest carries among any of the three primary Green Terror backs.
YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR FIRST: A pair of Green Terror players ran into the end zone for the first time in their careers on Saturday – on back-to-back offensive plays for McDaniel. With 14 seconds remaining in the first half, Tom Massucci (Tabernacle, N.J./Seneca) capped a 3-play, 4-yard drive with a one-yard dive to give his team a 14-13 halftime advantage. On the first offensive play of the second half, Joe Rollins broke off a 48-yard run to stretch the lead to 21-13 just 17 seconds into the third quarter.
THE BUTLER DID IT: Early in the second quarter on Saturday, Woody Butler (Smithsburg, Md./Middletown) caught a 12-yard pass for the Green Terror's first touchdown. After missing the first four games of the season with injury, Butler has caught five passes in the four games since the bye week. Of those five receptions, three have gone for touchdowns. He is averaging 12.2 yards on his five receptions. As a freshman, his lone reception of the year went for a score before catching three touchdowns a year ago, including two of his three catches in the opener.
GOING LONG: The Green Terror entered last Saturday with 35 plays of 20 yards of longer, averaging five such plays a week. At Franklin & Marshall, McDaniel only had four such plays. However, three of those were the Green Terror's three longest plays of the season. Joe Rollins' 48-yard touchdown scamper was the team's longest rush of the year. CJ Billera caught a 56-yard pass from Tom Massucci to set up nine-yard pass play to Matt Cahill later in the third quarter for McDaniel's longest pass play of the season. It was also the longest toss of Massucci's career and the team's longest reception since Cahill caught a 75-yard touchdown from Brad Baer in the third quarter of a 24-14 win over Randolph-Macon on Oct. 21, 2006. Aaron Slaughter, however, turned in the Green Terror's longest play of the season when he returned an interception 62 yards late in the second quarter to set up the offense's second touchdown. It was the longest interception return by a McDaniel player since Colin Nelson capped a 50-10 win over Urisnus on Oct. 2, 2004 with a 63-yard return for a score.
CATCHING BIG AIR: After allowing just 1,046 yards passing through the first six games of the season (169.3 yards per game average), the Green Terror has allowed an opposing quarterback to throw for 300-plus yards in back-to-back games for the first time under head coach Tim Keating. Two weeks ago, Ursinus' Justin Decristifaro passed for 372 yards before Franklin & Marshall's John Harrison torced the McDaniel defense for 447 yards – a Diplomat program record and a Green Terror record for passing yards allowed. It marked the second straight year Harrison threw for 400 or more yards against McDaniel. Over the last two weeks, the defense has allowed 819 yards through the air.
BIG TIMING: The McDaniel defense, despite allowing 447 yards passing on Saturday, did pick off four John Harrison passes on Saturday. Aaron Slaughter had two of those interceptions, tripling his career total in one game. The senior safety returned his first pick of the day – and second of his career – 62 yards for the longest interception return of any active Green Terror player. He thwarted a second Franklin & Marshall drive with a leaping grab at the one-yard line. Bill Gerdes (Freehold, N.J./Colts Neck) made his first career interception. With the Diplomats driving deep into McDaniel territory early in the third quarter, Bradley Akers (Wilmington, Del./John Dickinson) hit Harrison as he released the ball. Gerdes made a diving scoop of the ball at the line of scrimmage to halt the march. Kevin White (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Haverford Twp.) added the fourth pick. For the season, McDaniel now has 16 interceptions – the most since also nabbing 16 in 2005.
THE IRON STOPPER: Paul Smith notched a career-high 12 tackles on Saturday. It was only the second time in his career that the senior outside linebacker reached double-figure tackles. Smith has been the mark of consistency on the Green Terror defense over his career. Not only has he played in all 38 games since his arrival on the Hill, but he has also made 32 starts in his tenure.
DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK: For the first time all season, McDaniel dropped a game in which it held a lead at halftime and at the end of the third quarter. Entering Saturday, the Green Terror had been 4-0 when leading at halftime and 3-0 when leading after three quarters. Blowing the nine-point fourth-quarter lead marked the first time in 21 games that McDaniel failed to hold on to a fourth-quarter advantage. On Oct. 25, 2008, Ursinus scored 23 fourth-quarter points to overcome a 7-3 deficit.
HELLO, ALUMS: Today is Homecoming on the Hill for McDaniel. In addition to the team's normal festivities, it will honor the 2000 CC championship team – the fourth of six straight Green Terror titles. This happens on the same weekend that Ron Sermarini '00 is inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame. Sermarini guided then-Western Maryland to the 1997, 1998 and 1999 crowns. The Green Terror is 52-23-1 on Homecoming, including 10-5-1 under Tim Keating. Today is the third straight week McDaniel is playing in a Homecoming game. Two weeks ago, the Green Terror dropped a 43-18 decision in front of the Ursinus alums before the heartbreaking 31-28 loss in front of the Franklin & Marshall Homecoming crowd last week. This is also the fourth straight time McDaniel has hosted Gettysburg for Homecoming on the Hill.
TERROR TIDBITS: Matt Cahill has caught a pass in 22 consecutive games – one of eight CC receivers to have an active streak of at least 20 games… The Green Terror had seven three-and-out drives on Saturday and went 5-for-16 on third downs… McDaniel ranks ninth in the CC on third downs (23.8 percent).
COACHES' CORNER: Tim Keating is in his 18th season at the helm of the Green Terror. His 107 victories are the most by any McDaniel coach. Keating enters this week with record of 107-74-3, guiding the program to seven CC championships and a pair of NCAA playoff wins. Before coming to the Hill, Keating notched a 26-23 record in five seasons at Wesley… Barry Streeter, the dean of CC coaches, is in his 32nd season guiding the Bullets. His 160-157-5 record not only ranks best amongst those to guide Gettysburg but is also the best record among active coaches in the conference. He has three CC titles to his credit and one appearance in the NCAA semifinals (1985).
THE WORD ON GETTYSBURG: The Bullets enter today's game off the highest scoring game in CC history. Trailing 50-27, Gettysburg scored 34 points over the final 17:27 of the game for a 61-50 victory over Susquehanna… Kyle Whitmoyer completed 20 of 28 passes for 374 yards and five touchdowns but also ran for another 70 yards and a score. Brian Betley caught five passes for 140 yards – three of which went for TDs – while Charles Curcio snagged 10 balls for 121 yards and a score… The two teams combined for 1,162 yards of total offense. The Bullets had 644 of those yards… Last week was the second straight week that Gettysburg rallied from a deficit of no fewer than 17 points. Against Dickinson, the Bullets trailed 17-0 and 24-7 before rallying for a 28-24 victory… For the season, Gettysburg leads the conference in scoring offense at 38.4 points per game. The Bullets, however, rank ninth in scoring defense at 31.9 points per game… The Bullets rushing attack is tops in the CC, averaging 251.9 yards per game… The Orange and Blue has four runners with no fewer than 300 yards this season. Jamel Mutunga leads the way with 589 yards on the ground. Anthony DeSalva has 491 yards while Whitmoyer has 488 yards. Curcio rounds out the quartet with 322 yards… Whitmoyer ranks second on the CC in passing efficiency at 141.86. The junior signal caller has completed 119 of 199 pass attempts for 1,631 yards. He has 11 touchdowns and five interceptions… Curcio has been Whitmoyer's favorite target in the passing game, hauling in 37 receptions for 418 yards. Betley has 23 catches for 420 yards… Gettysburg enters today's game winners of four in a row – the first time the Bullets have had a winning streak that long since 1994.

Snack War: Peltz vs. Rosenfeld
Mondelez CEO Is Familiar With Investor's Efforts to Reshape Companies
Irene Rosenfeld can't seem to shake activist investor Nelson Peltz.
First, Mr. Peltz's Trian Fund Management LP pushed her in 2007 to sell underperforming brands such as Post cereals while she was chief executive of Kraft Foods Inc. Then in 2010, with Ms. Rosenfeld still as CEO, Kraft made a $19.4 billion acquisition of British chocolate maker Cadbury PLC, two years after Cadbury separated its drink and candy businesses at Trian's urging. After the Cadbury deal, Mr. Peltz and his partners used their stake in Kraft to press...

Master fly-fisher to teach classes at TFFC January 12, February 9
ATHENS—Are you looking for an unusual Christmas present for an angler in your family? Or perhaps just wanting to learn about fly-fishing yourself?
If so, the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens has the perfect solution: fly-fishing lessons.
Expert fly-fisher Bob Cappallo of Corsicana will teach fly-fishing for beginners at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens January 12, 2013, and February 9, 2013, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
The class is open to adults 18 and older. No fly-fishing experience is required. Equipment will be provided, but students may bring their own. The $50 fee for the class includes entrance to TFFC for the day of the class, lunch and a season pass to TFFC so students can return for more fishing as often as they like.
Instruction will focus on equipment selection, knot tying, casting and fishing for rainbow trout in TFFC's 1.5-acre casting pond. Catch-and-release fishing is free, but anglers may pay $5 for the opportunity to catch and keep up to five fish.
Cappallo is a member of the Brazos Valley Fly Fishers and lives on Richland Chambers Reservoir. He fly-fishes for trout in New Mexico and redfish and tarpon on the Texas coast. Cappallo also builds handmade fly rods and ties flies.
Reservations are required, and the class is limited to 20 persons. Checks should be made payable to "Friends of TFFC" and may be mailed to Craig Brooks at 5550 F.M. 2495, Athens, TX 75752. For more information or to register by telephone for the class, call Brooks at (903) 670-2222.

COMMERCE >> Although he's been convicted twice of DUI and hasn't had a valid California driver's license since 2003, local water board member Arturo Chacon received mileage payments of more than $1,000 for trips to Las Vegas, San Diego and Indian Wells, according to documents obtained by this news organization.
The reimbursement was given to Chacon on top of the $597 monthly stipend he receives from the Central Basin Water District and after he caused a traffic accident that wrecked constituents' cars and sent three people to area hospitals.
A respected state government watchdog said the payments to Chacon, who stayed at luxury resorts in Carlsbad, Rancho Bernardo and Monterey and at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, appear to be evidence of paycheck padding. The watchdog questioned the agency's reimbursement policies.
Between 2012 and 2013, Chacon received $1,006 on mileage reports related to the various conferences.
"I would hope (the district) would have him show a driver's license before they give him the money, said Bob Stern, former president of the Center for Governmental Studies. "It doesn't sound appropriate."
Chacon's record behind the wheel has been problematic for the district.
In February, Central Basin paid $16,000 to a woman who was injured in a car accident caused by Chacon. The agency also paid Chacon $68,000 in worker's compensation, even though an insurance provider told Central Basin officials the accident occurred during non-work hours.
State officials say Chacon, convicted twice of driving under the influence, has not been legally eligible to drive in California since 2003.
Tony Perez, a spokesman for the agency, said the reimbursements are within district policy. He said Chacon is not required to show his driver's license. Perez said Chacon is required to have proof of insurance on file. But Perez declined to share a record of that proof.
Other directors received reimbursement and car allowances as well, according to district records.
The district has been under increased scrutiny since receiving a subpoena from the FBI as part of the investigation into former state Assemblyman Tom Calderon, D-Montebello, who had a $12,000 monthly consulting contract with the agency until February 2013.
Calderon and his brother, state Sen. Ron Calderon, D-Montebello, have been indicted by a U.S. grand jury on federal corruption charges, including bribery and money laundering, for their alleged roles involving a Long Beach hospital and a phony film studio.
Central Basin is a water wholesaler serving the southeast area of Los Angeles County.
Director James Roybal said he thinks the agency's policy allows for "double-dipping."
"The question is valid," Roybal said. "I didn't know we even had that policy. I haven't been on one trip and I don't plan on going anywhere. We get almost $600 (a month) in auto allowance. It's an overly generous policy. The board should take a look at it."
Chacon didn't return a phone call made to the district for comment.

Walter Mitty is a fictional character in James Thurber's short story "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", first published in The New Yorker on March 18, 1939, and in book form in My World— and Welcome to It in 1942. It was made into a film in 1947.
Mitty is a meek, mild man with a vivid fantasy life: in a few dozen paragraphs he imagines himself a wartime pilot, an emergency-room surgeon, and a devil-may-care killer. The character's name has come into more general use to refer to an ineffectual dreamer, appearing in several dictionaries. The American Heritage Dictionary defines a Walter Mitty as "an ordinary, often ineffectual person who indulges in fantastic daydreams of personal triumphs". The most famous of Thurber's inept male protagonists, the character is considered "the archetype for dreamy, hapless, Thurber Man".
Although the story has humorous elements, some critics see a darker and more significant message underlying the text, leading to a more tragic interpretation of the Mitty character. Even in his heroic daydreams, Mitty does not triumph, several fantasies being interrupted before the final one sees Mitty dying bravely in front of a firing squad. In the brief snatches of reality that punctuate Mitty's fantasies we meet well-meaning but insensitive strangers who inadvertently rob Mitty of some of his remaining dignity.

For the first time since 1937, industrial hemp has been decriminalized at the federal level and can be grown legally in the United States, but on a limited basis.
A landmark provision in the recently passed Farm Bill recognizes hemp as distinct from its genetic cousin marijuana, and exempts it from U.S. drug laws in order to allow for crop research by universities, colleges and state agriculture departments.
The new federal law, written by U.S. Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) and U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ken.) allows for an agricultural pilot programs for hemp "in states that permit the growth or cultivation of hemp" including Colorado.
"It is a major policy shift," said Tom Murphy, national outreach coordinator for Vote Hemp. "The new federal law exempts hemp from Controlled Substances Act and allows the state to regulate the growing of industrial hemp without risk of prosecution."
Key language in the amendment eliminates the need for a permit to grow hemp from the Drug Enforcement Agency, which was rarely issued.
Hemp is a genetic strain of cannabis that does not have the psychoactive properties of marijuana.
Varieties of hemp stalk and seeds are grown and processed throughout the world to manufacture soaps, fuel, foods, oils, lotions, paper, building materials, rope, and as a less toxic replacement for plastic.
Section 7606 of The Agricultural Act of 2014 (Farm Bill) is titled "Legitimacy of Industrial Hemp Research." The two-page section outlines how states that have legalized hemp can set up pilot programs to grow the crop. Provisions of the federal law state:
Only an institution of higher education, as defined by law, or state department of agriculture may grow or cultivate industrial hemp.
Industrial hemp grown cannot have more than 0.3 percent delta-9 tetrahydroccannabinol concentration (THC). Medical and recreational grades of marijuana contain 10 to 15 percent THC.
Sites used for growing or cultivating industrial hemp must be certified by and registered with the Colorado Department of Agriculture.
Authorizes agricultural departments of states that have legalized hemp to create regulations for the pilot program.
State vs. federal
Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 in 2012 legalizing hemp along with recreational marijuana. Under A64, the Colorado Department of Agriculture will begin issuing permits to cultivate hemp for farmers under strict guidelines this spring.
However, A64 is in violation of the U.S. Controlled Substances Act. The Act lists all strains of the cannabis plant — including marijuana used for pain relief and recreation, and hemp grown strictly for industrial purposes — as illegal.
Both hemp and marijuana strains of the cannabis plant are listed under the Schedule I category alongside heroin, LSD, ecstasy and peyote.
President Obama has directed U.S. attorneys to not go after marijuana and hemp cultivators in states that have legalized the plant.
The Farm Bill authorizing hemp is legally ironclad at the federal level because it exempts it from the Controlled Substances Act.
The law language states: "Notwithstanding the Controlled Substance Act, the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act or any other Federal law, an institution of higher education or a State department of agriculture may grow or cultivate industrial hemp."
The new federal law is broad-based, Murphy said. It does not limit the size of test plots for hemp, or prohibit commercial sales by colleges and universities, nor does it prohibit obtaining seeds from other countries. Vote Hemp reports average net profits for hemp at $250 per acre.
Colorado opportunity
Ron Carleton, deputy commissioner for the Colorado Department of Agriculture, described the Farm Bill's hemp provision as "a big step."
Under the Farm Bill hemp provision, department of agriculture could itself conduct a pilot program, but Carleton said they will at this point probably leave the research to universities and colleges.
"It really makes more sense for them to be the leaders on R&D for hemp," he said, adding that public education about hemp's potential is maturing.
In Yellow Jacket, Colorado State University runs a agricultural research station. Crop specialist Abdel Berrada said there has been a lot of interest from the public for hemp, and CSU could play a role.
"It may be a good opportunity, and I believe the upper administration is looking into it," Berrada said. "Before, it has always been avoided because it was a threat to our federal funding, but the Farm Bill eliminates that problem."
CSU's public relations department released a statement to The Cortez Journal on the matter.
"Colorado State University is watching closely to see when language in the farm bill results in policy changes needed to permissibly cultivate, research and conduct other activities related to growing industrial hemp. Once regulations concerning industrial hemp are issued, CSU is poised to help explore the possibility that hemp could become an important crop in Colorado."
Mitch Davis, public affairs director for Fort Lewis College, said the school does not have plans to grow hemp under the Farm Bill provision.
"We do have an agricultural field school at the Hesperus site where we do research on high altitude crops and have courses, so we could decide to do it in the future," Davis said.
The Farm Bill expires in five years. Murphy, of Vote Hemp, said typically the same programs are rolled into the next farm bill, but in the meantime bills legalizing hemp production nationwide are working their way through Congress.
"We are working to make hemp legalization permanent for the entire U.S.," he said. "Once all of the seeds and test crops are in the country, and farmers are in a position to sell commercially, it will be hard to put the genie back in the bottle."

If you want to know New York, get to know its street cuisine. I learned it early. Growing up in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, I would get a lunch of two hot dogs in steam-soft rolls from the guy who set up his stainless-steel pushcart on the corner of 17th Street every morning, rain or shine, Saturdays and holidays, summer-fall-winter-spring.

Love that guy! I was hoping to be able to find a few weird scholarships (http://weirdscholarships.co)too, but I am not sure, something else I was looking at a few things online (http://www.wikihow.com/Find-Lost-Objects) to see if I like them or not. I really do like shopping, but maybe that it going to be my forte.
I am really hoping to be able to go to dinner soon with my parents. I have not seen them in a long time and I think it would be best for us to meet up again. Man, it is so weird on how fast time can go by and you just don't notice it!
My Life as a Graduate and Some of My Travels, My Health, Sanity, etc.
When you are a full-time graduate, you may feel pulled in every direction. Classes, research, teaching duties, and family all compete for your time, energy, and attention. You rarely get more than six hours of sleep. You choose convenience over quality when you are deciding what to eat. The only exercise you get is from your desk to the coffeemaker or vending machine. By the time you get to "Write or Die" week at the end of the semester, you are searching "how long can a human survive without sleep" and contemplating the feasibility of coffee on an IV drip.
Eventually, you will realize just how much of a toll your poor food choices, sleep deprivation, high stress levels, and sedentary lifestyle taken on your health. This is a great article of sleep deprivation:(www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/features/important-sleep-habits)
You may think you do not have the time or financial resources to worry about your health. But if you think about the long term effects this lifestyle will have on your health – and, in turn, on your academic performance – you cannot afford NOT to take care of your health. The most basic recommendation involves your diet. Plan your meals ahead, and avoid processed and fast food as much as possible. If you live alone, you may not thinking that cooking for one person is worth the hassle. Kinda reminds me of what Dr. Owen talked to me about Cook as if you are cooking for four people and wrap up the leftovers to take to campus for lunch. This is where I go to school. I also saw this Google doc here too:
One way to save time but also eat well is to invest in a slow cooker. Find recipes that include vegetables; throw all of the ingredients in the pot before leaving for your morning classes, and you will come home to a hot, nutritious dinner. Again, the recipes you find will likely be four servings or more, so you can save these to reheat for lunches and other dinners.
Also, do not forget breakfast! Take the time to eat a balanced breakfast, including vegetables. To save time, prep your breakfasts on Sunday. Boil a few eggs, cook some greens, and wash fresh fruit to have on hand for quick breakfasts.
In addition to clean eating, look for quality supplements, especially a good probiotic and multivitamin (http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-21386/do-you-need-supplements-if-you-eat-a-healthy-diet-a-doctor-explains.html).
You likely have access to an on-campus gym that you are ALREADY paying for with your student fees. Take advantage of it! If you are afraid of running into the students you teach as a GTA, take your workout outside. In addition to the physical benefits, hiking can boost your mental health (http://www.collective-evolution.com/2016/04/08/doctors-explain-how-hiking-actually-changes-our-brains/)! Look for local hiking, running, and cycling groups. These groups can also be a great way to meet people beyond your colleagues at school.
Finally, be sure you are getting quality sleep. This is probably the most difficult rule to follow, but your body AND mind will thank you. And what good is a grad student without a sharp, rested mind? Anyway...just some of my thoughts.
How To Keep Your Sanity While In School
Marriage, divorce, death of a loved one, starting a new job, losing a job, and moving are just a few of the major stressors in life. Being a grad student may not seem like a major stressor to some people, but for those in the trenches of academia, it may seem as if the stress never ends. Considering that starting school is often coupled with other major stressors, such as leaving a full-time job with decent pay or relocating, it should be easy to understand why grad students struggle to keep their stress at healthy levels.
I have quite a few years of experience as a full-time graduate student. Now that I am nearing graduation, I have finally learned a few tips for surviving graduate school without losing my mind:

An underlying factor to this whole argument about dropping IE6 support the fact that your average web user, or in fact most people do not know what a browser is, let alone what version of IE they are using. If the site displays incorrectly or looks wrong, they will just think it's broken.
If your site is aimed at the web world crowd then fine, but on a larger scale, the internet to many is still just 'the blue e' on the desktop.

What Stuart O'Grady says...
Checker Hill never gets any easier. It's a really steep climb and it's very early in the race. Many people will be trying to conserve energy as it's the first proper climb. A lot of guys haven't raced yet this year so the heart rate will be going and it hurts a lot.
It's quite a lumpy ride out to Lobethal. We've done some reconnaissance and it's a lot harder than what it looks on paper. It could be a real little surprise package that day. The final 10km of the circuit is really, really tough. Especially as it's the first main race of the year a lot of guys won't have much racing under the belt. It could come as a real shock to the system and come out with a surprise result.
There are plenty of opportunities for attacks and I don't think it's going to come down to a big bunch sprint. It's tough enough to split the field. Even the final sprint to the line is a slight drag uphill. For the first race of the year it's going to really hurt.

When the football nation turns its eyes toward Denver on Saturday for the Broncos playoff game, the state's ski and tourism boosters will make sure Colorado is looking her best.
"This is a huge deal for us. It's always great to have a big show and show off our city," said Deborah Park of Visit Denver.
A playoff game can stir anywhere from $9 million to $20 million in economic activity. Denver leaders estimate Saturday's impact will lean toward the high end.
"Because the Broncos are the only NFL team in the Rocky Mountain West, they have a larger fan base from outside the metro area than others, and therefore are likely to attract more out-of-town visitors," said Amber Miller, spokeswoman for Denver Mayor Michael Hancock.
Fan interest in Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is likely to drive high national viewership of the game against the Baltimore Ravens. The star's blue-and-orange No. 18 jersey is popular at Where the Buffalo Roam. The souvenir shop, on the 16th Street Mall, is stocking and staffing for heavy traffic — not just for this Saturday but next week, too.
"We have also already placed our 'if win' orders to be picked up early on Monday after the Broncos clinch the AFC championship game," shop owner Bahman Shafa said. "We are basically betting that the Broncos will win and are already planning ahead."
Playoff games are bonus rounds for Denver tourism. A single game can contribute as much as the long-planned NCAA Women's Final Four last March or nearly as much as the 20,000-delegate SnowSports Industries America's annual Snow Show, which arrives at the Colorado Convention Center in a couple weeks.
While the playoff brings a surge of business to downtown shops, restaurants and bars, the lingering impact of national exposure — depicting snowy scenes and happy cityfolk — is the real treasure. Free television coverage, which spurs visits, is like manna from heaven. And it's the heavens that could deliver the biggest boost.
CBS producers will arrive at Sports Authority Field at Mile High to find a ready supply of ski-action video from the high country, just in case they are looking for footage to roll during the broadcast. Sometimes network camera operators make their way up to the mountains and shoot their own video.
The best-case scenario for ski resorts is this: Cameras sending frosty white images of Denver across the country. That looks likely, with a storm front moving into the Front Range, bringing cold temperatures on Friday and Saturday.
Ski areas thrive on the snow message, one that persuades vacationers to pull the trigger on their holiday and come skiing. So while industry trade group Colorado Ski Country will woo producers with a bounty of prepackaged, snowy videos from the ski hills, they are hoping it isn't needed.
"Mother Nature is our best marketer. When she brings on a snow storm during a live, nationally broadcast event, that's better than any network schmoozing we can do," Colorado Ski Country spokeswoman Jenn Rudolph said.

OCEAN CITY – Before taxpayers get up in arms over the possibility of the city raising the tax rate for the FY 2010 budget, the numbers seem to show that City Manager Dennis Dare's hands were essentially tied and he was virtually left with no other choice.
Dare presented the proposed budget for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, at Monday night's City Council meeting, and though the numbers look about as grim as the rest of the economic picture in this country, Dare said that the raise in the local rate doesn't necessarily mean an across-the-board hike in the tax bill.
The council remained quiet throughout Dare's speech as he outlined plans to raise the property tax rate from 38 cents per $100 of assessed valuation to 41 cents, 5 percent below constant yield rate, which would bring in the same revenue as last year.
In essence, in order for the town to bring in the $46 million in tax revenue brought in last year, the tax rate would have to be raised to 43.2 cents. Setting the number at 41 cents will create a $3.7 million decrease in tax revenue from last year, but should ease the burden on taxpayers, who saw their property values decrease by an average of 15.5 percent this year.
According to Dare, the tri-annual property assessments equated to an overall 12.2 percent drop (from $11.78 billion to $10.66 billion) and that drastic drop will equate to $4.2 million less in tax revenue collected by the town.
To further drive the point home, or to perhaps put it in layman's terms, Dare gave a striking visual for just how much property assessments fell.
"The assessed value went down $1.1 billion. Do you want to know what that looks like?," queried Dare on Tuesday. "Take a drive down to 48th Street and Coastal Highway and look at the new Gateway Grand. One billion dollars is about six or seven of those developments."
Despite what many would assume to be a hike in their tax bill to go along with a rise in the tax rate, Dare said that in many cases, it's just the opposite.
"A $100,000 house paid 38 cents per $100 this year, or $380 in taxes," explained Dare. "The state assessor says your property is now worth 15.5% less, or $84,500, but next year, at 41 cents per $100 of assessed value, taxes will be $346.45, so the tax rate may go up, but the tax bill goes down in this example by $33.55 or 8.8 percent."
Dare also noted that residents with the Homestead Tax Credit may see their tax bill go up as it was held to the 3 percent increase over the years, and some residential properties actually went up in value, but those who saw big decreases in their assessments will see similar decreases in their tax bill.
Mayor Rick Meehan called the budget a "fair proposal" and one that "showed the town's commitment to relieving the burden on our taxpayers while still providing the services that Ocean City residents and visitors expect."
Meehan hinted, however, that even more reductions could be made during the budget hearings, which started on Wednesday, in hopes to lower the tax rate.
"We'll keep pace and chart everything as we go through the budget hearings," said Meehan. "I think Dennis has done everything that he can, but I think we might be able to make a few more cuts."
Councilman Joe Hall was vocal in his efforts to keep the constant yield rate at a level that wouldn't be too much of a burden to property owners, and coincidentally, the 2-cent difference in tax rate virtually mirrored his plea several months ago.
"I think Dennis took to heart the message and I think he's started us in the right place," said Hall, "but where we end up six weeks from now after the budget hearings, is the crucial position."
The $3.7 million less in tax revenue from the $79.75 million proposed General Fund budget is essentially a shrinking of town government by 4 percent, and Dare said that the town has no room for error.
"This budget is tight, and we are going to have to learn to say no," said Dare. "Besides once a week trash pick up this winter, there will not be as many Christmas decorations downtown. There will not be any street paving, or capital improvements of any kind this year, Boardwalk trams will start later in the spring and stop earlier in the fall, and July 4th celebrations have been trimmed slightly, but only in some cases, will the public notice the changes."
Dare said that since the budget has increased about 6 percent annually the past several years, the 4 percent decrease creates about a 10 percent swing. He stressed that the tax rate was only raised to produce the same amount of revenue due to the drop in property values.
The city still has its hiring freeze in place, and the Fraternal Order of Police signed off on an agreement to forgo its yearly step raises that were set in place in the collective bargaining agreement on Monday, saving the town roughly $335,000.
Still, Dare has been vocal in saying that visitors that come to Ocean City "do not and should not have to be concerned with our fiscal crisis," citing that essential services still must be kept at the same level despite across the board cuts and overall "belt tightening."
"As long as we are giving the tax payers some relief and providing necessary services that our residents and guests have come to expect, then we are on the right track," said Hall, "but we'll get into the nuts and bolts of what all these numbers really mean during the budget hearings."

Tours, with an urban population of 280,000 and a student population of 29,000, is situated less than an hour from Paris by the train à grande vitesse (TGV). Nestled in the heart of the historic Loire Valley, which was recently named one of Unesco's World Heritage Sites, Tours is an important political, economic, and cultural center. The numerous historic renaissance castles in the surrounding area point to Tours' role as capital of France in the 15th and 16th centuries. This architectural heritage, along with Touraine's celebrated vineyards and gastronomic traditions, has made Tours an important tourist destination. While ancient craft traditions such as silk weaving and woodworking have not completely died out, the Tours region boasts a diversified and dynamic economy encompassing agriculture, manufacturing (plastics, electronics, pharmaceuticals) and supported by 12 institutions of higher education and three major research centers.
Tours' cultural heritage and economic dynamism sustain a rich cultural life. Numerous museums, more than 10 cultural festivals, three important regional theaters hosting an opera company and symphony, numerous concert halls for classical, jazz, and rock music, and five cinema complexes provide Bucknell en France students with many cultural opportunities.

On Thursday afternoon, Saints interim head coach Joe Vitt said that the leak of former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' testimony to the media amounted to a "scud," presumably launched by the league office. Vitt predicted that another "scud" would be coming Thursday night.
Coincidentally (or not), a letter from former Saints assistant Mike Cerullo to former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue has been leaked to John Barr of ESPN.
"Since it became public that I told league officials about the (bounty) program, I have been vilified and subjected to slanderous lies," Cerullo wrote.
"It has been said . . . that I 'pledged vengeance on the Saints,' and that I retracted my claims after first making them. As you know, none of that is true. Having people tell vicious lies about me has not been easy for me and my family."
Cerullo, whom Vitt called an "idiot" while testifying at the recent bounty appeal hearing, allegedly was fired after multiple unexplained absences from work during the 2009 season, according both to Vitt's testimony and a lawsuit previously filed by Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma. "It has been said that I 'disappeared' from work during the 2009-2010 season, that my performance ratings were poor," Cerullo wrote to Tagliabue. "I never missed work, always received high performance ratings."
Cerullo also took aim at those who criticized him for blowing the whistle on the bounty program; most recently, Saints quarterback Drew Brees described Cerullo and Williams as "two guys who were fired from here because they didn't fit the mold." Brees also questioned where they are "mentally."
"I regret that some of the players facing discipline chose to attack me and coach Williams for coming forward," Cerullo wrote to Tagliabue. "But what is worse is that others, including lawyers, knowingly spoke lies and continue to do so. You searched for and found the truth; they have never thought that truth matters."
Since Cerullo is interested in the truth, he should consider the whole truth. While employed by the Saints, Cerullo knowingly participated in the activities about which he now complains; he could have taken a stand at the time the events were unfolding, or he could have blown the whistle not long after he was fired.
Instead, he sent an email more than a year after the fact to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, only a couple of months before the annual hiring season began for head coaches and assistant coaches. And Cerullo made no bones about his desire to get back to the league.
"So I have info on Saints Joe Vitt Lying to your NFL Investigators on Bounties from 2010, along with proof!!! I was there, in the cover up meetings, with players and Joe, I love the NFL and want to work there again, but I am afraid if I tell thge [sic] truth I will never coach again in NFL, But I was fired for a situation that the Saints encourage," Cerullo wrote in November 2011. "All I want is a Job back in the NFL as a QC Coach anywhere, so If talking to you jepodizes [sic] that I will have to get back to you, but The Saints are a Dirty Organization. Contact me."
Cerullo wanted back in, and he possibly believed that helping the league crack the ice-cold bounty case would help. And his decision to call the Saints a "Dirty Organization" suggests that he indeed harbors ill will for the organization that fired him. And now he has decided to write a letter to Paul Tagliabue complaining about the fact that his motives have been questioned.
Regardless of whether he has the skills and abilities to return to the NFL, he could have used a better strategy for getting there.

Tracking the Tropics: Tropical Storm Cindy forms in the Gulf
Tropical storm warnings and a flash flood watch have been issued for southeast Louisiana in anticipation of heavy rainfall from Tropical Storm Cindy in the Gulf of Mexico.
The National Hurricane Center said in a report Tuesday afternoon that the low pressure system in the central Gulf of Mexico now has a well-defined center. The disturbance is now Tropical Storm Cindy. It's currently situated in the central Gulf of Mexico about 265 miles south of Morgan City. Max winds are at 45 mph and movement of Cindy is stationary. This is the third tropical storm of 2017.
Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the coast and a flash flood watch for all of southeast Louisiana and coastal Mississippi.
WDSU meteorologist Daniel Graves said the main threat from the system is rain and flooding through Thursday. It's forecast the system could bring 4 to 8 inches of rainfall and 10 inches or more of isolated rainfall.
The tropical storm warning is in effect from Intracoastal City, Louisiana, to the mouth of the Pearl River, which includes lower portions of Lafourche, St. Bernard and Jefferson parishes.
A tropical storm warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected in the warned area within 36 hours of issuance.

PV, HTML, BP, CSS, MMP… if being a teenager wasn't already hard enough!
How do you even pronounce it?
by Lillian Dodd
Cristo-Rey High School, Sacramento CA
IPPF Intern
Hi, my name is Lillian Dodd; I am a freshman at Cristo Rey High School here in Sacramento. Once a week I come in and work here at the International Pemphigus and Pemphigoid Foundation to offset the cost my tuition for school. I update the News and Information section of the website (www.pemphigus.org/news) by adding new articles. In the few months I have been here, I have learned so much about these diseases. Pemphigus is an autoimmune skin disease with symptoms like 3rd degree sunburns or really bad blisters. Pemphigus can spread from you arms, eyes and even the mouth.
When I was at school and they told me where I was working at IPPF, I said "What is that?" When I first saw pictures of pemphigus and pemphigoid I thought to myself, "How painful and sad to have people out there in the world with this on their body and skin." This doesn't just affect them — it affects everybody around them. I have learned that these diseases affect everybody in a different way. Generally, only middle aged or older people get this condition. However, Pemphigus affects people of all races, although Ashkenazi decent may be at higher risk. There are 3 ways a doctor can tell if you have pemphigus: visual exam, lesion biopsy, and direct immunoflorescence.
Some of the things I do here are edit/update the website and "ping" them out. I use www.ping.fm to send the articles out to Twitter, Facebook and MySpace. When I send these articles out, our "friends" out there can understand more about what we do and the resources available to them. I'm what you can call an "office assistant". I also answer phones, reply to emails, copy, fax and mail out letters.
Like most of my generation, I thought knew a lot about the internet, but teens know absolutely nothing compared to a lot of people. Some of the things I have learned here are the "behind-the-scenes" of the internet. If it weren't for my bosses, Molly and Will, I never would have known the internet like I know it today. I definitely would have never understood things such as coding, decoding, HTML, CSS, etc. And I didn't realize how much of an impact I made on the patients just by updating the websites every week.
I manage the IPPF Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter accounts. I help get the IPPF name out there to raise money and help find a cure for these diseases. Over the next couple of months I hope to gain more HTML knowledge and experience. I think this will help me later down the road because I want to become a teacher or something to do with working with young children. I think this will help me with creating interactive learning tools. I think knowing HTML will improve my chances at getting a job because as time goes on we are becoming more internet and technology savvy.

I have to admit over the last two years I have let myself go. The stress of corporate life and my doctorate along with some undiagnosed health issues really got the best of me and I ballooned up to nearly 280 pounds. I thought I carried it well until I had to buy a 3XL shirt! I nearly died! Last year I played a lot with food. I ate raw vegan, I ate vegetarian, and I ate a new way… Paleo. For me this just works. I dropped about 30 pounds on the HCG diet with my doctor and have kept it off with the exception of a few holiday pounds. So here is the 2013 plan. As of right now I am on day 3 of a 21 day HCG cycle. I should lose another 18-25 pounds and I am REALLY excited about that! Then my birthday, a few weeks of paleo eating and another 21 day cycle. That should put me near 200 pounds and pretty close to where I was when I was married 13 years ago.
In the mean time I am also doing the 100 push-up, 200 sit-up, and 200 squat challenges and trying to get some good long walks in on the nice days. Starting in the spring when it warms up I'll start my daily runs back up and I'm going to shoot for 250 burpees by the end of the summer. I'm also going to start doing some off-road running races, several mud runs and maybe an off-road sprint triathlon. I know it sounds like a lot of training, but it's really not. I'm trying to keep it under 30 minutes a day and am only at about 15 minutes right now. as the weight comes down I'll also pull out my pull up bar and kick off the 100 pull-up challenge plan.
I know that sounds like a lot of exercise, but the core of my health changes are really focused on quality paleo eating. In essence it's the "cave man" diet. Ask yourself would a cave man eat this? and if the answer is no… skip it. I eat all the fresh vegetables, fruit, and organic grass fed meat I want. No counting calories no real rules to follow other than avoid grains and dairy. At first this sounds very restrictive, but I can assure you I enjoy eating this way better than the crap I used to eat. Tonight we had lemon garlic roasted chicken, raw carrots, fresh strawberries, and a spinach salad. For me there is a LOT to get excited about there! I'll be writing more about paleo eating in the coming weeks and sharing some recipes. If you want one to get you started try out these awesome gluten free, high protein paleo pancakes!
I'm only a few days into this, but I feel great and I will keep everyone posted on my progress.
Spoiler alert… I'm considering a late fall marathon. 🙂
What are your fitness goals for 2013?

Sharing Christmas Pudding Memories
2 comments:
What a wonderful read this has been and I am so envious of your pudding memories. It was one holiday experience that I cannot draw upon....the heritige of my grandparents....although one of them was born in England. Thank you for your post.ReplyDelete
I found your blog searching for information about suet pudding. My grandma used to make it for us around Christmas time and it is a cherished memory of mine, just like you write here. I was prompted to post a comment when I looked at your blog tags and saw several Wyoming tags, including Wheatland Wyoming tags. While my grandmother is from Montana, she lives in Wyoming and my other grandma and my father are from Wheatland. So I thought, I wonder if suet pudding is common in that area? Just a thought. Your recipe is very similar to my grandma's, right down to the use of coffee cans in a steamer.ReplyDelete
I just wanted to say "Hi" and share my thoughts with you.

Throughout Brunswick County, children don't have enough to eat. But there's a little red wagon in Southport collecting food to make life a little easier for them.
In 2010, a teacher told Kristie Disbrow about a child who didn't have enough to eat. Disbrow offered to help.
"But Kristie," the teacher said, "It's not just this one. There are many hungry families." Dismayed, Disbrow put a bin on her front porch and started collecting food. That was the beginning of Matthew's Ministry.
