Thanks to the efforts of Animas Surgical Hospital, Matt Kelly and the Womens Resource Center, the Durango Double has returned to the delight of many local runners.
Its a herculean effort, said Kelly, the race director. The Womens Resource Center has been phenomenal, mobilizing nearly 100 volunteers. Its been a great team effort.
Brett Gosney of Animas Surgical Hospital was looking for a big event that could bring together its charitable contributions program.
I thought the Durango Double would be a great community event, and we found a great partner and beneficiary through the WRC, Gosney said. Its been a great turnout, and we are really excited about building this thing for years to come.
This years event presented some new goal opportunities for many local runners seeking the challenge of a longer distance.
Suzanne Shieltz had never run farther than 10 miles but decided to train for the 25K.
I got busy with work and was traveling, so it became more difficult to get the runs in, Shieltz said. I was like, Im gonna do it, I think I have the stamina, so Im just going to go and try it.
Visibly emotional at the finish, Shieltz said, I was so thankful to finish before the course closed. I havent been this happy to have a medal since I was 8 years old.
Veteran marathoner Kristina Siladi decided to tackle the ultra distance and signed up for the 50K.
I was training for marathons and doing the 20-milers that were once a big deal werent really anymore, so I felt I was ready to take it to the next level, Siladi said.
This is a hectic time of year for Siladi, and she admitted her training was off.
Ive actually done more mileage for a marathon than I have for this, she said. It was kind of a rude awakening.
Siladi is undaunted and plans to try the 50-mile distance next.
Dean Bettis and Dave Thibodeau raised the bar for themselves by tackling the full Double (50K and marathon). Both had never run anything longer than a marathon.
I had planned to train differently for this, but then we had a baby, Bettis said.
Alternating between feeling good and really bad, Bettis was pleased with his races overall.
I felt much better than I expected. I would do it again but would like to do so much better, he said. Obviously, that means training. I feel so good about accomplishing it.
Thibodeau echoed the more training theme.
It was much harder than I thought it would be, he said. My training definitely wasnt adequate for the weekend as a whole, but it turned out great anyway. It was just really my goal to finish.
Thibodeaus advice to others thinking about it: Go out and do it and enjoy it.
Aubrey Farnham hadnt planned to double her mileage, but after missing the turn-around for the half marathon, she decided to continue on the marathon course rather than drop out.
I spent five months getting ready for this, Farnham said. I wanted to finish it, so I did it.
Collapsing at the finish line, she quickly recovered and was surprised to discover she had won her age group. Next year, she plans to sign up for the full marathon and hopes to qualify for Boston.
All the participants praised the event for its organization and great volunteers. Next year promises to be even bigger and better.

Valmont vs Dangerous Liaisons
Milos Forman's film Valmont came out in 1989, the year after Steven Frears' Dangerous Liaisons. Both are based on Chloderos Laclos' scandalous 1782 novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Both feature rich and bored aristocrats and are set in Baroque France prior to the guillotine.
A scheming widow, the Marquise de Merteuil, and her sometimes-lover Valmont make a bet regarding the corruption of a recently married and very pious woman. Valmont wagers that he can seduce the newlywed, even though she is very honourable. If he wins, the Marquise promises him one last night with her. However, in the process of seducing the married woman, Valmont falls in love.
I prefer Valmont to Dangerous Liaisons. Colin Firth as Valmont does the "wet puffy shirt" before Mr. Darcy strips off in 1995's Pride and Prejudice. Firth is passion and charisma to John Malkovich's reptilian cold-bloodedness. I know who I'd rather snog with.
This was the first role I saw Annette Bening play. She's ripe, peachy and pretty and looks too nice to play Madame Merteuil but she's just as evil as Glenn Close.
Pretty Meg Tilly played the pious Madame de Tourvel. Well and truly seduced, Firth moved to the forests of Canada to be with her.
Here's a list of the major players in Valmont and their equals in Dangerous Liaisons.
Colin Firth – John Malkovich
Annette Bening – Glenn Close
Meg Tilly – Michelle Pfeiffer
Fairuza Balk – Uma Thurman
Henry Thomas ( Elliot from ET) - Keanu Reeves.
And the 1989 trailer.

I've seen them both (Valmont, many times) and I'll take Firth over Malkovich any day of the week! Milos Forman's direction is stellar and there is so much humour and giddiness in Valmont. It's a feast for the senses and talk about titillating! the scene with Annette Bening in the bath is fabulous! Makes me want to go out and buy the film just to watch it again now.
- August 2, 2009 at 12:35 PM
- Poetikat said...
P.S. I first saw Bening in "The Grifters"...that is a great movie as well(much different, however).
- August 2, 2009 at 12:36 PM
- Poetikat said...
Just one more thing; I thought Fairuza Balk did a much better job of playing the ingenue, didn't you?
It really is SO good! Well, of course, after "Amadeus", Forman had to try and maintain his appeal.
- August 2, 2009 at 12:38 PM
- dogimo said...
Oh, my goodness. I can't get over that trailer.
Were they still doing trailers like that then?
It just seems so strange.
But you can see the film glimmering underneath all the narration and goofily too-jaunty music! Thank you for the recommend, and reminder that I'd wanted then to see this. I miss so many films in the theater and never come back around to them like it seems it would be so easy to do.

- California Girl said...
That was an interesting piece. I saw "Dangerous Liasons" but have never seen "Valmont". I did not like the first one much; I was irritated by the loathsome bored aristocrats and John Malkovich creeps me out in everything he does.
Colin Firth is an extremely likeable actor and I can't imagine him playing against type so I'm thinking his depiction would be more appealing if such a character can be appealing
Question: when you write about Firth & Meg Tilly, did you mean they ran off together in real life? I'd not heard that either and I've always wondered what happened to Meg Tilly. Her sister is such a scream and, apparently, one hell of a poker player.
- August 2, 2009 at 2:32 PM
- The Clever Pup said...
Poetikat - yes! I thought all the parts were cast better. Fairuza Balk was completely believable.
Dogimo - I could hardly believe the trailer either. The beginning, anyway. Is that what we were doing 20 years ago.
CG - Yes Tilly and Firth were a couple for a while - they have a son Will. She writes, has troubling personal issues and her own blog.

- Anna said...
Looks sexy!
- August 2, 2009 at 4:53 PM
- Sandra Leigh said...
I can't believe I've never seen this film, Firthfanatic that I am. Doesn't Meg Tilly look as if she emerged from under a leaf? Pure wood nymph.
- August 2, 2009 at 6:08 PM
- David Engel said...
My favorite is the french made for TV version which takes place in the late 50's - early 60's, with Catherine Deneuve as Madame Merteuil and Rupert Everett as Valmont. They were both so evil! Anyone who loves this story should be sure not to miss this. The great cast also features Nastassia Kinski as Madame Tourvel, and Leelee Sobieski as Cecile Volanges.
The soundtracks to this film have also been interesting. Jazz great Art Blakey did the older black and white version. The french TV version also had a very good, eerie soundtrack. Was it Badalamenti or Morricione?
- August 2, 2009 at 7:12 PM
- Jelica said...
I've never heard of this film but I'd take Colin Firth over John Malkovich any time so will have to check this one out. Thanks!
- August 3, 2009 at 4:19 AM
- California Girl said...
I will have to find the French version David Engel references. I love Catherine Deneuve and Rupert Everett. Interestingly enough, when I researched the Colin Firth/meg Tilly angle, I read that Firth and Everett have a not so friendly rivalry as actors. It was not explained but another bit of coincidence.
I hope I can find the French version in Netflix.
- August 3, 2009 at 10:05 AM
- willow said...
I love the work of Milos Foreman and can't believe I've not seen Valmont. I'm adding it to my Netflix queue right now. Thanks for the recommendation, Hazel.
Regarding your comment on my blog, your comments are always read and very much appreciated. Your delightful blog is one of my faves! :^)

Have seen both but unaccountably have not seen Valmont in the past few years (I like the novel & play). So along with willow, I just put it in Netflix queue. I didn't find the French version referenced above but still looking elsewhere.
Thanks for this!

I prefer Dangerous Liasons over Valmont. Though I also like Colin Firth, in this one however, the winner is Malkovich. His acting is amazing and perfect!

Yeah great film!

Well, interesting comments by all..... I have seen all three versions, the Rupert Everett, the Colin Firth and the John Malcovich. What I would say is that as this is a story that has sex at its core, then Valmont surely needs to be physically attractive - especially as he is so emotionally unattractive. My fave is the Rupert Everett version which is closely followed by Colin Firth. John Malcovich although an amazing actor just isn't pretty enough, and the rest of the cast were a bit too 'Hollywood' to provide enough edge. That said, what a story!
- April 18, 2011 at 5:18 AM
- The Rush Blog said...
From what I have read, a lot of people seemed to dismissing the 1988 film, due to their belief that Malkovich isn't attractive. That's it?
For my money, I'd take "DANGEROUS LIAISONS" over "VALMONT" any day. I'm sorry, but Forman's movie simply lacks bite.
- April 18, 2011 at 3:51 PM
- The Clever Pup said...
chacun à son goût, oui?
- April 18, 2011 at 6:10 PM
Dangerous Liaisons (1988), is infinitely better, best actors, costumes, adaptation.
A great movie....
- October 20, 2011 at 9:41 PM
I like both movies equally for different reasons.
Overall Valmont has a more whimsical quality to its manipulations.
I prefer Thurman to the younger girl in Valmont (she's more of a woman), Tilly to Pfieffer (I just like her portrayal more), and Benning to Close, and its a close call.
Weird, I only recently realized they were the same story - but when I did, I felt stupid!
- April 14, 2012 at 12:47 AM
- Daniel James said...
Both films attempt a realistic portrayal of baroque pre-napoleonic France based on a famous novel. Dangerously edges out on all aspects, set design, costumes, direction and acting by the main cast (except Keanu) but especially true in the main character of Valmont played by John Malkovich and Colin Firth. The character Valmont is a detestable and undermining womanizer who meets his match in the face of true love. Malkovich's cold and cunning characterization beats out Firth's warm and bumbling portrayal any day of the week. The later (firth) is perhaps more fun to watch being far less reviled but more unlike the true character of Valmont.
The imdb and rotten tomatoes comments and ratings are always a true evaluation of a film when taken together ,not apart and given ample time after a film is released. Both films are equal on imdb while Dangerously edges out Valmont 93 to 90 percent on tomatoes. Pretty accurate consensus if you ask me.

On February 23, Tajikistan's Ministry of Economic Development and Trade (MEDT) announced that a group of Iranian companies had agreed to build an industrial town in the country. According to the ministry, the massive project will entail the construction of about 50 industrial enterprises including aluminum, cotton, and fruit processing plants, in Rudaki district near the Tajik capital Dushanbe. Experts suggest that the remaining enterprises might include plants producing construction materials, solar panels, power transformers, electricity usage meters, and light bulbs. The authorities expect that Tajikistan's first industrial town will increase the country's exports, while also reducing imports and creating about 20,000 new jobs.
The announcement made during a three-day investment forum in Dushanbe was very short on details and, therefore, raised a number of questions. First, there is no indication of when the construction of the industrial town is expected to begin. According to the MEDT, Iranian experts still have to complete a feasibility assessment and the technical documentation. Once these are finalized, the construction phase is expected to take about three years.
Second, the authorities have not indicated where the resources required to implement the large-scale project will come from. Tajik experts estimate that the project will cost over US$ 2 billion. The government of Tajikistan which struggles to find resources to build the giant Rogun dam and has to rely on the international financial institutions (IFIs) in financing a large part of its social sector needs is unlikely to take on a major co-investor role. The government's role will most probably be limited to enacting favorable legislation to improve the economic feasibility of the project and building part of the related infrastructure. Other major donors in the country, including Russia, China, and the IFIs, are also unlikely to co-sponsor an Iranian-led investment project. Therefore, if Iranian companies are serious about the project, they would effectively have to provide all of the funding.

Here's something we've never blabbed about: We were in student government in college. We don't talk about it a lot because our term as Associated Student Body Representative of Publications was shrouded in corruption and scandal, with then-Long Beach City College official Beverly O'Neill calling for our head on a platter.
Still, we are a veteran of the smoke-filled rooms (You could smoke at LBCC in those days. They had ashtrays in the classroom. It was, needless to say, a glorious time.) of collegiate politics. It is a world of brilliant and optimistic ideas and lofty pursuits. You can see the ashes of these dreams and ideas all piled beneath the insect-zapper that is the administration.
It's why the three big issues of student-body elections have remained the same since Benjamin Franklin invented the college:
1. Student Apathy
2. Crappy cafeteria food
3. Coke doesn't come out of the drinking fountains
At the higher-educational institution to the south, California State University, Long Beach, it's election season now, with the weeklong balloting closing today.
We've studied the platforms of the five candidates running for Associated Student Inc., president, although "studied" is probably too serious of a word. "Glanced at," might be closer. Our collegiate apathy lingers still.
But if we were to vote for the most provocative presidential candidate of the five seeking the presidency, we'd be all over third-year history major Elizabeth Gamboa for the job, just for having a big idea, even if we don't care for all aspects of it.
The part of Gamboa's campaign promise that we found intriguing is her desire to change the name of:
A. The school, from California State University, Long Beach to Long Beach State University.
B. The school's mascot, from the Yosemite Sam-like Prospector Pete to the Disney princess-like Toypurina.
C. The school's teams from the 49ers to the Tongva Rebels.
In terms of the school's name, we like Gamboa's idea. The style in our sports section has always been Long Beach State, while our own personal style is Cal State Long Beach. Long Beach State has more of a community sound, and, Gamboa points out, it's what people across the country tend to call the school. So, yeah, go ahead and change it.
As for Prospector Pete? He was great back in the days when the campus (Long Beach State College, then) threw its annual 49er Days festival, when a huge Old West mining town was built on the campus grounds – sort of like the pre-thrill era of Knott's Berry Farm. But, to employ a bit of a harsher term than Gamboa would use, the Gold Rush-era prospectors were filthy, drunken outlaws. Not always, perhaps, but enough to make a viable sweeping generality.
Nowadays, most people refer to the Long Beach teams as The Beach (or, in baseball's case, the Dirtbags), which seems like a good way to go. It's got a Crimson Tide ring to it. If The Beach sticks, and it already has, it does cry out for a new mascot, though probably not a Tongvan medicine woman who not only was foiled in her rebellion against the Spaniards and their missionary emissaries, but who eventually married a Spaniard and took a Christian name.
We bow to no one in our esteem for the local pre-Spaniard people, the Tongva and Gabrielino tribes who used to fish, farm and hunt right where you're sitting. The Tongvans considered the land upon which the university was built to be holy ground.
So, if we can agree, as we just have with ourself, that the university should change its name to Long Beach State University, and that the teams should change their names (save for our beloved Dirtbags) to The Beach, then what should be the name of the mascot?
We've got ideas (stupid ones, like Sandy the Starfish), but, as this week's elections at what's still known as California State University, Long Beach demonstrate, we're still a democracy. It should come to a vote. And, win or lose, Gamboa intends to pursue the name/mascot changes and hopes, she says, to get it on the ASI ballot next spring.

Blazing speed the calling card for A's prospect Burns
Historically, an average Major League position player generally runs from home to first base in 4.3 seconds from the right-handed batter's box and 4.2 seconds from the left-handed box.
Recently, with the increase in size of big league players, I think that average may have increased a tick from both sides.
Historically, an average Major League position player generally runs from home to first base in 4.3 seconds from the right-handed batter's box and 4.2 seconds from the left-handed box.
Recently, with the increase in size of big league players, I think that average may have increased a tick from both sides.
Every time I saw Oakland A's outfield prospect Billy Burns in Spring Training this year, he consistently ran from home to first in less than four seconds. Every time. Sometimes it was 3.82, others 3.9. But it was fast. Plenty fast.
And Burns didn't stay at first base very long. He stole 10 bases, while being caught only three times. A single or a walk became a double.
The man is fast -- very fast. Burns has the instincts required to steal bases. He knows what he's doing, and he'll only get better.
The A's acquired Burns from the Washington Nationals in exchange for highly effective left-handed reliever Jerry Blevins. It was the type of transaction that could become important to the futures of both clubs.
Burns is No. 9 on the A's Top 20 Prospects list. He was a right-handed leadoff hitter at Mercer University in Macon, Ga., when the Nats selected him in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. A true student-athlete, Burns was recognized on the All Tournament Team of the Atlantic Sun Conference in his sophomore season.
After turning professional, Burns returned to switch-hitting -- the way he had hit throughout high school. That provided an extra step to first base from the left-handed batter's box.
Switch-hitting has been natural for Burns, as he hit .307 as a left-handed batter and .339 batting right-handed last season, while playing for Class A Advanced Potomac and Double-A Harrisburg in the Nationals' system.
On his way to hitting a combined .314 last year, Burns stole 74 bases while being caught stealing only seven times. Adding insult to injury for opposing pitchers, he walked 71 times. Burns had an on-base percentage of .423.
Speed is Burns' best tool. However, he makes extremely good contact at the plate, striking out only 53 times last season in 535 plate appearances. Burns is a good hitter for average.
When I scouted Burns this spring, he made things happen. He showed a very good knowledge of the strike zone and excellent patience at the plate. Burns had simple, uncomplicated mechanics. I did not see any semblance of power. That's not his game. Burns' career will be based upon "getting on, getting over and getting in."
Burns is exciting to watch. He is well aware that keeping the ball on the ground gives him the best chance for success. Infielders must rush to throw Burns out, and that often forces errors. His ability to bunt for a base hit is a great asset.
Defensively, Burns has average arm strength. Regardless, I think he profiles best as a center fielder. Burns has very good ability to read the ball off the bat quickly and accurately and close on balls with his blazing speed and efficient, effective routes. He can take charge in the outfield from that position. As a left fielder, Burns' power shortage may be a detriment. But without a doubt, he's a good enough outfielder to play Major League-quality defense.
Often in Spring Training I heard Burns compared to Cincinnati Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton. There are similarities. Both have blazing speed and steal bases almost at will. Both are switch-hitters. But at this point, I think Burns may have advanced pitch recognition and selectivity. At age 24, Burns is 5-foot-9, 180 pounds. Hamilton is 6-foot, 160 pounds at 23.
Burns may still develop more strength. That might allow him to bang out more extra-base hits. Last season for example, Burns had 12 doubles and nine triples. Those numbers will likely increase in time.
Whenever Burns gets the call to join the big league club, I am confident he will pressure the defense and be a catalyst for his offense with the type of speed that is almost impossible to defend.

Nearly four times the size of Texas and the largest country on the continent, Algeria is bordered on the west by Morocco and Western Sahara and on the east by Tunisia and Libya. The Mediterranean Sea is to the north, and to the south are Mauritania, Mali, and Niger. The Saharan region, which is 85% of the country, is almost completely uninhabited. The highest point is Mount Tahat in the Sahara, which rises 9,850 ft (3,000 m).
Parliamentary republic.
Excavations in Algeria have indicated that Homo erectus resided there between 500,000 and 700,000 years ago. Phoenician traders settled on the Mediterranean coast in the 1st millennium B.C. As ancient Numidia, Algeria became a Roman colony, part of what was called Mauretania Caesariensis, at the close of the Punic Wars (145 B.C.). Conquered by the Vandals about A.D. 440, it fell from a high state of civilization to virtual barbarism, from which it partly recovered after an invasion by Arabs about 650. Christian during its Roman period, the indigenous Berbers were then converted to Islam. Falling under the control of the Ottoman Empire by 1536, Algiers served for three centuries as the headquarters of the Barbary pirates. Ostensibly to rid the region of the pirates, the French occupied Algeria in 1830 and made it a part of France in 1848.
Algerian independence movements led to the uprisings of 1954–1955, which developed into full-scale war. In 1962, French president Charles de Gaulle began the peace negotiations, and on July 5, 1962, Algeria was proclaimed independent. In Oct. 1963, Ahmed Ben Bella was elected president, and the country became Socialist. He began to nationalize foreign holdings and aroused opposition. He was overthrown in a military coup on June 19, 1965, by Col. Houari Boumédienne, who suspended the constitution and sought to restore economic stability. After his death, Boumédienne was succeeded by Col. Chadli Bendjedid in 1978. Berbers rioted in 1980 when Arabic was made the country's only official language. Algeria entered a major recession after world oil prices plummeted in the 1980s.
First Parliamentary Elections
The fundamentalist Islamic Salvation Front (Front Islamique du Salut; FIS) won the largest number of votes in the country's first-ever parliamentary elections in Dec. 1991. To thwart the electoral results, the army canceled the general election, which plunged the country into a bloody civil war. An estimated 100,000 people have been massacred by Islamic terrorists since war began in Jan. 1992. The undeclared civil war escalated in its brutality and senselessness in 1997–1998. Islamic extremists, who had originally focused their attacks on government officials and then shifted to intellectuals and journalists, abandoned political motivations entirely and targeted defenseless villagers. The mass slaughters were as savage as they were random, and the government was markedly ineffectual in stemming the violence.
Abdel-Aziz Bouteflika's ascension to the presidency in April 1999 was initially expected to bring peace and some economic improvement to this desperate war-torn country. Bouteflika, however, remains locked in power struggles with the military, whose support is crucial. Despite the appearance of democracy, Algeria remains in essence a military dictatorship. In 2001 violence by Islamic militants was again on the rise, and the long-disaffected Berber minority engaged in several large-scale protests.
Attempts at Reform
In April 2004 presidential elections, praised by international monitors for their fairness, incumbent Bouteflika won 85% of the vote. Bouteflika stated that his second term would be devoted to solving the three-year-old crisis in the Berber region of Kabylia, freeing women from restrictive family codes, and bringing about "true national reconciliation" caused by the civil war. The country's dire economic situation has improved slightly, but Algeria still faces a high unemployment rate.
In Oct. 2005, Algerians approved a controversial referendum sponsored by Bouteflika, the Charter on Peace and National Reconciliation, which grants amnesty to all Islamists and military officials involved in the country's bloody civil war. There is considerable doubt whether reconciliation is possible without holding anyone accountable, and the president's plan has been referred to as one of amnesia rather than amnesty.
Reconciliation Efforts Are Thwarted by Acts of Terror
In April 2007, about 35 people were killed and hundreds wounded when suicide bombers attacked a government building in Algiers and a police station on the outskirts of the capital. Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb claimed responsibility for the attack. The terrorist group struck again in December, killing as many as 60 people in two suicide attacks near UN offices and government buildings in the capital of Algeria. The bombings occur within minutes of each other. It was the worst attack in Algeria in more than 10 years.
In June 2008, President Bouteflika replaced Prime Minister Abdelaziz Belkhadem with Ahmed Ouyahia, who had served twice as premier.
At least 43 people were killed in August 2008, when a suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden car into a police academy in Issers, a town in northern Algeria. The next day, two car bombs exploded simultaneously at a military command and a hotel in Bouira, killing a dozen people. No group takes responsibility for the attacks, but Algerian officials said they suspected Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb was behind the bombings.
In November 2008, Parliament approved constitutional changes that allow President Bouteflika to run for a third term. The opposition criticized the move, calling it an assault on democracy. Bouteflika went on to win reelection in April 2009, taking more than 90% of the vote.
The opposition's hope for gaining influence and a voice in government were dashed in parliamentary elections in May 2012. A coalition of moderate Islamist parties were optimistic that they could ride the wave of change and reform that has swept the region since the Arab Spring of 2011. But the coalition won only 48 out of 463 seats, and accused the ruling National Liberation Front (FLN), which took 220 seats, of fraud.
Dozens of People Killed in Hostage Crisis
On Jan. 16, 2013, Islamic militants took dozens of foreign hostages at the BP-controlled In Amenas gas field in eastern Algeria, near the Libyan border. Algerian officials said the militants were members of an offshoot of al-Qaeda called Al Mulathameen and were acting in retaliation for France's intervention in nearby Mali to beat back militants who had crossed into government-controlled areas. On Jan. 17, Algerian troops stormed the complex and attacked the kidnappers. By the end of the standoff on Jan. 20, 29 militants and 37 hostages were killed. Three Americans were among the dead. The Algerian government was criticized for its heavy-handed approach to the crisis but remained unapologetic.
On Sept. 3, 2012, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika named Abdelmalek Sellal as prime minister. The government's main cabinet positions remained unchanged.
On March 13, 2014, Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal resigned in order to run the reelection campaign of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Energy Minister Youcef Yousfi was appointed prime minister. Bouteflika was reelected to a fourth term in April 2014, taking 81% of the vote. The opposition, led by Ali Benflis, who challenged Bouteflika and received 12% of the vote, claimed there were "serious irregularities" in the election.

Often in summer months, parents are faced with the difficulty of deciding whether a child is old enough to stay at home alone or not.
JPD Juvenile Detective Julia Parrish said the Jacksonville Public Safety Department often receives calls in the summer from parents and caretakers asking what age is appropriate to leave their child at home.
She said they also receive calls about children being left unattended.
The Onslow County Child Protection Team developed a set of standards to measure when a child is old enough to stay at home unsupervised.
The guidelines were accepted by the Onslow County Department of Social Services, Law Enforcement, and the Health Department.
The guidelines can be accessed at the Public Safety website at www.ci.jacksonville.nc.us.
Kimberly Winston, social work program manager with the Onslow County Department of Social Services, said children ages 0 to 8 should never be left alone unsupervised for any amount of time, according to the guidelines and the North Carolina Fire Law.
Children 11-15 years old can be left alone for up to several hours if they do not have medical or emotional problems, and the child is comfortable with it while children 16 years old and up can be left alone for several days at a time though the department recommends parents leave a notarized power of attorney in case someone needs to seek medical treatment for the child.
The department considers children ages 12-15 old enough to baby sit children who are at least two years old but not for overnight stays.
Kids age 16 and over are considered old enough to baby sit infants and can stay overnight.
�Although the child may meet the age requirement, the child also needs to be physically, emotionally and mentally capable of taking care of themselves in a safe and non-hazardous environment,� Parrish said. �The guidelines provide a useful reference tool, however, the safety of the children is our highest concern.�
Winston said children should only be left in a safe, non-hazardous environment and that children should not answer the door while home alone. Winston also warned parents to teach their kids safe phone practices.
�Don�t tell people one the phone that your parents aren�t home,� she said. �Just say, �They�re not available right now, can I take a message?��
She said parents should consider enrolling their children in CPR and first aid classes if they will be left home alone on a regular basis.
Joy Branham, the chief executive officer for Onslow and Coastal Carolina American Red Cross, recommends everyone have a basic knowledge of first aid and CPR, from young to old.
The Red Cross offers a Family First Aid class online and in the classroom to help families prepare for emergency situations.
They also offer a Babysitter�s Training 7-hour classroom course and an online 4-hour Babysitting Basics course for kids age 11 and up. The classroom course teaches CPR as well as first aid, but kids who take either course earn certificates, Branham said.
Anyone interested in these courses can sign up at redcross.org.
Branham said one great resource everyone should consider is the First Aid app by the American Red Cross, which free in the iTunes and Google Play stores.
�It gives expert advice for everyday emergencies � ,� she said. �It comes with videos, interactive quizzes, step-by-step advice on what to do, helps you decide if someone needs to be transported to a medical facility.�
Brian Kelly, Onslow County fire marshal, said fire safety is something pivotal to staying home alone.
Kelly said teenagers and adults alike can easily become distracted from the tasks at hand, leading to fires.
He recommends families visit safekids.org for fire safety tips �applicable for adults back to teenagers.�
Agencies also remind parents that children should never be left in cars alone even for short periods of time, especially during the summer months when the temperatures inside vehicles can become very hot.
�While the summer is a wonderful time for fun, it is vitally important to keep safety and prevention in mind,� said Chief Mike Yaniero, Director of Public Safety.
At a glance
The Onslow County Department of Social Services recommends the following supervision guidelines for children:
nAge 8-10: Children should not be left along for extended periods of time on a regular basis. If the child is being left along for short periods of time, he or she should not have emotional or medical problems, and he or she should be comfortable with the situation.
nAge 11-15: Children can be left alone for up to several hours if they do not have medical or emotional problems and if the child is comfortable with the situation; this doesn�t include overnight stays.
nAge 16+: Children can be left alone for several days at a time, but the department recommends parents leave a notarized power of attorney in case someone needs to seek medical treatment for the child.
The Public Safety Department provides some tips for caretakers when leaving children home alone:
-Ensure that children know their full name, home address and phone number.
-Children should have access to a telephone and have emergency phone numbers.
-Teach the children how to properly use or access emergency services.
-Children should be able to locate a parent or designated responsible adult in the event of an emergency.
Brian Kelly, OnslowCountyfire marshal, said fire safety is something pivotal to staying home alone. Safekids.org recommends the following:
-Ensure children know how to use a fire extinguisher and keep one in the kitchen.
-Keep distractions to a minimum in the kitchen.
-Never leave candles unattended.
-Make sure kids and parents know what the smoke alarm sounds like. Keep smoke alarms in every level and sleeping area in the house.
-Practice how the family would evacuate the house in the event of a fire. It�s important to have an alternate route of the house.
-Practice feeling the door knob, door and cracks around the door for heat with the backs of your hand to see if they are too hot.
-Choose a safe place to meet outside the house in the event of a fire.
-If you cannot safely escape the home, teach children how to cover the vents and cracks around the door to keep smoke from coming into the home.

BRISTOL — Despite Mount Abraham Union High School's decision two years ago to install a wood chip heating system — a move that cut the school's fuel oil usage by almost 90 percent — the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union (ANeSU) is scrambling to cope with the rising cost of heating oil.
"I've got to believe that my schools will be 25 to 40 percent short" in their budgets for fuel oil, said ANeSU Business Manager Greg Burdick said.
"We'll spend what we need to keep the schools heated," he said, but the district may have to "rob Peter to pay Paul. The schools will stay warm, but it's liable to come at the expense of, and I'm oversimplifying here, pens and pencils."
The district's executive committee will decide late this week whether or not to accept the single bid they received last week for the fuel oil contract. Jay Jipner, the proprietor of Bristol-based All Star Fuels, put in a bid to sell the district its oil at an eight-cent mark up per gallon over the rack price.
If awarded the bid, Jipner will provide between 60,000 and 67,000 gallons to heat MAUHS and the district's five elementary schools.
This will be the second year that ANeSU has not locked into a "pre-buy" fixed price — meaning that predicting the total cost for heating the district's six schools is all but impossible.
"Nobody knows where this is going," Burdick said — but ANeSU officials and school board members across the district do know that the effects will be widespread.
"It's a death knell for the schools," said Burdick. "It doesn't just impact fuel oil. Anything that comes by truck or rail, we've paid shipping fees."

MIDDLEBURY — New Vermont Rail Program Manager Robert Ide confirmed on Monday that the state Agency of Transportation (VTRANS) will wait until Middlebury has finished building its new in-town bridge before launching major repairs to two downtown train underpasses.
Ide also emphasized his commitment to track replacement leading in and out of downtown Middlebury to minimize the chances for derailments and to make the line stronger for double-stack cars and passenger service, two upgrades he said he wants to see in place before he leaves his job.
Ide, a former Republican state senator who lives in Peacham, was named the AOT's rail program manager back in June. He has spent the past few months getting up to speed on train activities while surveying the condition of rail infrastructure in Vermont.
"I have been on what I would describe as the 'rocket ship learning curve,'" Ide said with a chuckle. "You learn about the people; you learn about what it is that you just signed up for; you learn the questions you should have asked at the interview but didn't know enough to ask."
Tuesday saw Ide in Middlebury, where he got an eyeful and an earful from local officials who during the past year have seen a major train derailment while nervously anticipating reconstruction of two major railroad underpasses at Main Street and Merchants Row.
"Walking up the tracks in Middlebury is an eye opening experience looking up at those bridges," Ide said of downtown Middlebury's railway underpasses on Main Street and Merchants Row. "I don't think a person of good conscience could go home and say, 'Well that's going to last for another 30 years.' I'm not an engineer, but they appear to have some spots that need some repair and replacement."

LEICESTER — Four Connecticut men are in jail, a Leicester man has been shot and a police dog is dead in the wake of a shooting and carjacking incident that began on Lake Dunmore Road in Leicester late Tuesday night and ended after a police chase in Fair Haven.
Vermont State Police responded to a call from a Lake Dunmore Road resident at around 11 p.m. on Aug. 19 where they found Richard Carroll, 45, had been shot once in the leg. Carroll told police that he went to check on arguing he heard on the road in front of his house and that someone in a white Escalade SUV with Connecticut plates had shot him.
Alerted that the car was traveling south on Route 7 in Pittsford, a Rutland police officer attempted to deploy tire deflation spikes. A Rutland police K-9 named King Luther jumped out of the officer's cruiser and was struck and killed by a state police cruiser that was involved in the pursuit of the Escalade.
Shortly after that, VSP received a report that several black men in a white Escalade had stopped to talk to three people parked on Wheelerville Road in Mendon and one of the men asked them for a ride. After the three people, who were driving a Chevy Cavalier, said no, the Escalade drove off but parked in a pull-off a short way ahead and ambushed the Cavalier, according to an affidavit filed in Rutland District Court by VSP Det. Sgt. Albert E. Abdelnour.
Police said the men in the Escalade blocked the road with their vehicle, brandished a knife, pulled the trio out of the Cavalier, punched and kicked them and stole a cell phone before driving off in the car. The victims walked to Route 4, where they flagged down a passerby, who called the VSP. Later they were treated at Rutland Regional Medical Center for minor injuries.

text: As part of her "Hire me, I'm sober" press tour, Lindsay Lohan sat down for a an interview with Matt Lauer on Today, in which she made her amends to the general public, giving the predictable spiel about how she's learned a lot and she doesn't want to disappoint anyone who's willing to employ her and yadda, yadda, yadda. She says she really believes in the possibility of a comeback and that in five years, we can expect to see her at the Oscars. But perhaps what was most interesting is that Lindsay revealed that she had something of a love addiction, saying that—out of a fear of being alone—she put her romantic relationships before everything else in her life, including her career, which contributed to her downward spiral.

AUBURN UNIVERSITY – The National Panhellenic Conference recently recognized Auburn University and just 20 other campuses nationwide with the College Panhellenic Achievement Award. The distinction follows a record-breaking recruitment for Auburn including the largest number of registered participants, 1,401, in the history of Auburn Panhellenic.
At the end of Panhellenic recruitment, 100 percent of the potential new members who went through the final recruitment process step of bid-matching received an invitation to join one of Auburn's 17 Panhellenic sororities. This resulted in a record-breaking 1,278 bids, with a total of 92.3 percent of the participants placed. Panhellenic was able to predict a large number of participants because the number generally fluctuates with the size of the incoming freshman class, which is one of the largest in Auburn's history.

COLUMBIA - For a rural county that has gotten tired of seeing major investment swing just out of reach, the announcement of a small boost - 26 new jobs - is welcome.
On the same day that Jasper County Chamber of Commerce leaders and local officials gathered in Columbia to raise the county's business profile, the state commerce department announced that LowCountry Biomass is growing. The company, which recycles wood residues, will be putting $16 million into its existing wood pellet facility and creating 26 jobs.
"We are very pleased to welcome LowCountry Biomass to Jasper County. New jobs mean more opportunities for our community and our young people," said Jasper County Council Chairman Samuel Gregory, in a statement.
Two years ago Jasper County came close to landing a $400 million luxury shopping center. But the Legislature rejected the developer's state tax incentive request, so the plans fell apart. More recently, a state agency's approval of a dredging permit for deepening the Savannah harbor has caused some to fear for the viability of a future $4 billion bi-state ocean terminal in Jasper County. Also on the Jasper radar: A proposed casino. But Gov. Nikki Haley, who wields authority over the issue, has said she opposes it.
Wednesday's LowCountry Biomass announcement is relatively minuscule in scope, but represents an actual investment. Jasper County's 8.6 unemployment rate in January was a sliver lower than the state's 9.3 percent jobless rate, as it typically is. But residents have long commuted to Beaufort County, Savannah, and neighboring communities for work.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to grow our company in Jasper County. South Carolina offers us an excellent business environment and a skilled workforce. We appreciate all the support we've received from state and local officials," said Rhett Harwell, vice president of LowCountry Biomass, in a statement.
LowCountry Biomass took over the operations of Champion Wood Pellets, a manufacturer of wood pellets used in residential heating fuel and alternative industrial energy. The facility is located at 523 Nimmer Turf Road in Ridgeland.
In June of 2010, Champion Wood Pellets announced it was moving to Jasper County and would be investing $2 million and creating 22 jobs.
The company is hiring. Anyone interested in applying should contact Beau Harwell at 843-726-6400.

We first reported on the wines of Ladera about a year and a half ago, and we were quite impressed with what we tasted. It's been that long since we last tried the '01 Lone Canyon Cab, so we thought it would be fun to see how it's coming along; to make things more interesting, we gave it a side-by-side comparison with the '02 model.
2001 Ladera Napa Cabernet Sauvignon Lone Canyon, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, $62.99, 14.5% alc.: Dark garnet in color, and offering pure, lovely Cabernet character, with rich, ripe (but not at all over-ripe) somewhat earthy black currant and cassis on the nose and palate, with subtle overtones of blackberry, perfectly integrated oak and a slight note of dusty cocoa as it opens. With good extraction and excellent structure, this will age for at least another 3-5 years, but it's so good already, it's hard to keep the hands off of it now. Definitely the better of these two vintages at this time.
2002 Ladera Napa Cabernet Sauvignon Lone Canyon, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, $63.99, 14.9% alc.: Without looking at the labels of these two wines, Kim remarked that this one shows more heat than the '01, and she has a point; it's a deep, dark garnet in color, with richer, riper black currant, blackberry and blueberry fruit than the previous model. It doesn't seem quite as substantial in the middle, nor as well structured, but as it opens, it smoothes out nicely, and loses some of the heat. While not quite up to the '01 at this time, it does show promise for development over the next few years. We'll check in somewhere down the road with a followup report.

Subversion has no way to commit local patches so that you can test out your changes, split up commits functionally, generate patches easily so you can send them to a review list, or any of these great features. Git does not have this problem; in fact it has a very nice set of tools for working this way. I won't go into the details of that, as most readers probably know it already, other than saying that it's amazingly simple and easy.
The pain comes when you're an outside contributor for a Subversion project: you might be testing some experimental changes that you don't want to commit to the public repository. Okay, you can edit the files and svn diff locally but this pathetic compared to the power of git commit and git format-patch
- You're stuck doing one functional change, and only one functional change. Because you have no way to create a patch series. It's either everything in one commit, or nothing at all.
- Even when you have commit access, often this results in multiple functional changes being squashed into a single commit. This is very bad.
- Subversion provides no way to add commit messages or authorship to the diff generated by svn diff, so contributors are left out in the cold.
- Yes, if you have commit access you can provide this meta-data, but you're still pushing directly to the repository with no review what-so-ever.
Thankfully Sourceforge does at least provide rsync access to the Subversion and CVS repositories so git svn clone can be both fast and bandwidth efficient. Unfortunately, however, it seems that Subversion chokes on anything but patches generated by Subversion itself (including standard GNU diff format.)
Everyone should be using Git (or at least some distributed version control system with similar features.)

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - A match-high 26 kills from outside hitter Jeff Menzel wasn't enough to stave off defeat as the No. 13 UC Santa Barbara men's volleyball team was downed, 3-1, by No. 11 UCLA Friday in MPSF action at Robertson Gymnasium. Scores went 25-30, 30-27, 30-26, and 30-27 in favor of the Bruins, who completed a two-match season sweep of the Gauchos.
UCSB (6-13, 3-12 MPSF) had an off night offensively, hitting a paltry .161 (49-31-112) overall. After coming out with a .250 attack percentage in the opening set, the Gauchos fell all the way to .069 in the second. The third frame was more of the same with a lame .094 clip. Santa Barbara picked it up in the fourth set and posted its highest hitting number of the night, .259. However, UCLA, which finished at .342 (62-22-117), recorded a match-best .389 in the deciding set.
Menzel shouldered most of the attack for UCSB, taking 58 of the team's 112 swings. Opposite Jake Rosener had 10 kills (on 22 sets) and six blocks. Senior middle blocker Matt Thobe, filling in for an injured Scott Slaughter, tallied four kills, three aces, and five blocks.
UCLA (9-12, 5-9 MPSF), which had lost six of its previous seven matches coming in, spread its offense out as four players hit double figures in kills, including Jack Polales (17), Thomas Amberg (12), Sean O'Malley (12), and Garrett Muagututia (10).
Menzel and UCLA's Kevin Ker each had match-bests with seven digs.
The Bruins committed 29 errors from the service line.
Following a week off for final exams, UCSB will return to action to host non-conference opponent Cal Baptist on Mar. 24 at 7 p.m. Tickets are available online through Ticket Return, by calling the Athletics Ticket Office at (805) 893-UCSB, or one hour prior to the start of the match at Robertson Gymnasium.
**UCSB - a nationally recognized university in both academic and athletic excellence - is located on the central coast of California in a picturesque campus and community setting on the Pacific Ocean. Each year over 450 NCAA Division I Gaucho student-athletes compete for national championships, succeed in the classroom, and give back to the community.**

A sophomore midfielder Sam Johrden (Deer Park, N.Y.) goal, off freshman forward Shannon Kennedy's pass, gave Farmingdale State a 3-0 advantage with 3:52 remaining in the first half. Sophomore defender Andrea Kiefer (Centereach, N.Y.) scored on a penalty kick for the final goal of the half, 4-0 Rams.
In the second half, Farmingdale held Sage to one shot, en route to their 11th win of the season.

Hallowed ground - New Zealand's first rugby fields
Rugby's origins in NZ are startlingly simple. One game in Nelson, one Cook Strait crossing by a rugby pioneer, another game in Petone the rest is history!
It kicked off in the south
It all started one Saturday in May at Nelson's Botanic Gardens. How delightful! Englishman Charles Monro had organised a game of rugby between a Nelson College side and the Nelson Football Club.
In front of a crowd of about 200 this new version of football played out. Monro – son of the then Speaker of the New Zealand Parliament Sir David Monro - knew he was on to a winner. Soon after the Nelson game he sailed to Wellington to find some opposition for his team.
Across Cook Strait
Arriving in Petone Monro picked a team of local men, taught them the rules, and coached them to play against Nelson Football Club.
The first game in the North Island was also the first inter-island game ever played, in Petone on 12 September 1870. Eight months later the Wellington Rugby Football Club formed, playing annually against the Armed Constabulary and that seminal Nelson team. Wanganui was next and from there the game spread like gorse.
And then the world
In 1905 rugby really put New Zealand on the map when the first All Blacks wowed crowds and won all their games in Europe.
History and hype aside, rugby is a game that's still played and loved by thousands of Kiwis at heartland clubs throughout the country. Whether it's watching your local team or pulling on your own club jersey, there is nothing quite like a good game of footy on your home turf.
Just for laughs check out this re-enactment of the first New Zealand rugby game, Nelson 2011.

Rid of the Raiders, New England DT Kelly eager for new beginning with Patriots
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Tommy Kelly feels like a rookie again.
After spending his first nine seasons with the Oakland Raiders — starting every game the past five years and six of the last seven — and even earning a captain's badge in the process, Kelly now is embarking on a new chapter in his career with the Patriots.
Yet despite signing a two-year deal in April to help bolster New England's front four, the 6-foot-6, 325-pound defensive tackle isn't exactly ready to buy a house in the area anytime soon.
"That's how I feel right now coming in, undrafted free agent. Ain't nothing guaranteed to you," Kelly said Wednesday during the second week of organized team activities. "You're the bottom of the totem pole. You can easily be replaced.
"NFL stands for 'Not For Long.' If you ain't handling your business, they'll get rid of you real quick."
In nearly a decade playing in Oakland, Kelly never took part in a postseason game. Even worse, he never experienced a winning season. The 32-year-old undrafted free agent now is suiting up for a team that lost in the Super Bowl two years ago and was within one victory of returning to the big game last year. So, it's hard not to ponder the possibilities of greener pastures.
All of that is secondary to him, though. For now, Kelly just wants to stick around for the regular season.
"Bill, he don't guarantee nobody nothing," he said of New England coach Bill Belichick. "So, I've got to get on the team before I start thinking about that.
"You see how many people they get rid of around here? Make the team first and then think about all that."
The Patriots certainly liked the thought of adding a dependable, veteran pass rusher to line up alongside perennial Pro Bowl nose tackle Vince Wilfork when they signed Kelly, released by the Raiders in a cost-cutting measure.
And he couldn't be more pleased to have landed in New England.
"Sometimes, change is good," Kelly said. "I was ready for the change. I'm very happy."
Lining up next to Wilfork played a pivotal part in signing with the Patriots.
"I love Vince," Kelly said. "He's easy to play with, makes my job much easier. . It's easy to play with somebody who's got experience and they can really, really play. It's love right now."
And of course, Belichick factored into his decision, too.
"When you're dealing with a coach with the resume of him, and if somebody like that believes in you, it makes you feel good about yourself," he said. "But at the same time, this is a program where you've got to prove yourself. If you don't prove yourself, he'll get rid of you."
That may be hard to believe in Kelly's case.
His sacks dipped from seven in 2010 and 7½ in 2011 to just one last season, but there's one thing Kelly can't be criticized for. No matter Oakland's record — whether a 2-14 campaign in 2006 or back-to-back 5-11 seasons in 2008 and 2009 — Kelly kept playing, week after week ... healthy or not.
"It's big when you play D-tackle, you've got to be reliable. It's a physically draining and mentally draining position," he explained. "I really pride myself on just being dependable and I'm going to give my teammates all I've got. So, if you've got somebody that you can rely on, it makes your job much easier."
It shouldn't take long for his new teammates to embrace his passion — if he makes the team, of course.
"It don't matter what the record is. Like I always say, your tape is your resume, and I wouldn't be in this league 10 years, an undrafted free agent, if I didn't play hard," Kelly said. "My teammates, they'll see that. Anybody I've played with in Oakland, knows that. I'm going to play hard and give it all I've got.
"I think I'll be all right."
As for a leadership role with New England, Kelly knows those captain patches have long been stitched onto other jerseys.
"Pretty much here, the leaders are already set with big Vince and Tom (Brady)," he said with a laugh. "So, I just fall in, do my job and don't be a distraction."
