BELMONT, N.C. - Belmont Abbey sophomore first baseman Danny Brion capped a five run Abbey comeback with a two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh, and sophomore pitcher Nate Cudney held Coker to just two hits while striking out eight in seven innings of relief as the Cobras dropped their Conference Carolinas series with Belmont Abbey thanks to a 5-4 victory Abbey win in the rubber game of a three-game series. The Abbey moves to 10-9 overall and finishes its home Conference Carolinas schedule with an 8-3 mark, while Coker falls to 11-10 overall and 5-7 in Conference Carolinas.
Cudney picked up the win after only allowing a single and a double in seven innings of relief of starter Steven Thiele, striking out eight and walking none. He retired the side in order three times. Dan Meyer (Seaford, N.Y.) (0-1) took the loss, the first of his college career, after allowing Brion's winning homer, the only hit he allowed, while striking out four in 2.1 innings.
Coker scored the first four runs of the game, with three coming in the first, two of which came on an Abbey fielding error. The Cobras made it 4-0 in the second as Brinley Griffin (Port St. John, fla.) singled home catcher Jessie Crockett (North East, Md.), who led off the inning with a walk, but the Cobras, who finished with just six hits, only had two more for the rest of the game as they failed to score again.
Belmont Abbey began its comeback in the fourth when leftfielder Tim Dye cut the lead in half with a two-run shot to left, scoring Spencer Sobol, who led off the inning with a double. Designated hitter Zach Berger followed with a fielder's choice. Roland Rodriguez then singled to right center, scoring Berger to inch the Abbey closer at 4-3.
That was all of the scoring until the seventh when Brion, for the second time in three games, moved the Abbey ahead in the seventh inning or later. After Meyer walked Rodriguez to leadoff the inning, Roberto Sanchez was retired on a popout. Brion followed with a high, towering blast to left for his second homer in three games to move the Abbey ahead 5-4.
Cudney shut down Coker in the final two innings, retiring the last six men in order to preserve the 5-4 win.
Belmont Abbey finished with ten hits as Brion went 3-for-3 with two RBI. Dye and Rodriguez had two hits and Dye drove in two runs.
Griffin had two of the Cobra's six hits, the only Coker player to record more than one.
The Cobras return to the diamond on Monday to take on Clarion in a non-conference game starting at 3:00 p.m.

|Influenza, Human
|Biological: A/swine/Missouri/4296424/2006 (H2N3) x A/Ann Arbor/6/60 ca (H2N3 MO 2006/AA ca) Biological: A/chicken/Hong Kong/G9/97 (H9N2) x A/Ann Arbor/6/60 ca (H9N2 G9/AA ca) Biological: 2012-2013 trivalent seasonal live attenuated influenza vaccine (FluMist®) Biological: Vaccine placebo (Leibovitz-15 [L-15]) Biological: Vaccine placebo (FluMist®)
|Phase 1
Influenza A viruses are widely distributed in nature and exist as many different subtypes. Pandemics of influenza can occur, and vaccine development is focused on those subtypes that are predicted to represent the greatest pandemic threat to the human population. This study seeks to understand the host factors that affect the replication and immune response of seasonal and candidate pandemic LAIVs in humans and to develop biomarkers that can predict the viral shedding and immune response to LAIVs.
Three vaccines will be evaluated: the licensed seasonal LAIV, with a focus on the H3N2 component; the H9N2 G9/AA ca vaccine, which is among the most immunogenic of the candidate pandemic LAIVs evaluated to date; and the H2N3 MO 2066/AA ca vaccine, which is among the least immunogenic of the candidate pandemic LAIVs evaluated to date. The seasonal LAIV will be evaluated in an outpatient setting, while the other two vaccines will be evaluated in an inpatient setting. In each setting, some participants will receive a placebo vaccine.
Study participants will be assigned to one of four groups. Participants who are seronegative to both H9N2 G9/AA ca and H2N3 MO 2006/AA ca viruses will be randomly assigned to receive one of those vaccines (Group 1: H9N2 G9/AA ca; Group 2: H2N3 MO 2006/AA ca) or placebo (Group 4) and will remain in an inpatient isolation facility. Participants who are seronegative to the H3 component of seasonal LAIV will be randomly assigned to receive either seasonal vaccine (Group 3) or placebo (Group 4) and will be followed as outpatients.
All participants will remain in the study for 56 days. Participants in the inpatient arms will be admitted on Day -2, will receive study vaccine on Day 0, and will undergo a basic history, physical examination, and nasal wash each day until discharge. On some study days, inpatient participants will undergo a blood collection and/or a nasal swab; at the screening visit and on Day -1 or Day -2, participants will give a urine sample.
Participants in the outpatient arms will receive study vaccine on Day 0 and will have study visits on Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, 28, and 56. On Days 1 through 7, participants will undergo a basic history, physical examination, and nasal wash. On some visits, participants may undergo a blood collection and/or a nasal swab; at the screening visit and on Day -1, participants will give a urine sample. Unused blood or nasal wash samples will be stored and may be used in future research studies.

Times Must Be Tough: Harvard Becoming A Trademark Troll
from the ask-not-what-you-can-do-for-hah-vahd dept
"Since we're spending so much time and money to promote this phrase, we just want to make sure someone doesn't say we can't use it."Of course, that basically highlights the ridiculousness of the way copyright, patents and trademarks are viewed these days: as something you need to "stockpile" so someone else doesn't get them. Some of the trademark applications are on phrases that Harvard isn't even using:
"You need to reserve something in case you intend to use it," Calixto said. "We're strategically protecting it for use at some point down the line."And I thought you could only get trademarks on actual use in commerce.
In the meantime, when I started reading the articles linked above, and thought that it would make for a good post, I totally planned to end it by pointing out that people should start getting around these trademarks by referring to the university as "Hah-vahd." Except... the university has an application pending for "The Hahvahd Tour." Oh well...

Sometime the best defense is a good offense
Here is an example of a state being proactive to get ahead of the potential federal government invasion of our rights. I love it and wish we had a way to take the approach national.
A group of Wyoming lawmakers is pushing to preempt any federal crackdown on assault weapons in the aftermath of last month's school shooting in Connecticut.
The bill would prohibit any Wyoming law enforcement official from enforcing federal gun restrictions.
"It's because we take our Constitutional protections seriously," Wyoming Rep. Kendell Kroeker told Fox News. "I took an oath to uphold, support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Wyoming."
The bill reads: "No public servant as defined in W.S. 6-5-101, or dealer selling any firearm in this state shall enforce or attempt to enforce any act, law, statute, rule or regulation of the United States government relating to a personal firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition that is owned or manufactured commercially or privately in Wyoming and that remains exclusively within the borders of Wyoming."
Kroeker said he wanted to put some measure in place to protect Wyoming gun owners should President Obama enact gun control.
"It concerns me because I don't think he cares for the Constitution at all," the Republican lawmaker said. "I think he would go as far as he could get away with in taking away our gun rights and we want to stand up and push back."
Kroeker said he believes President Obama wants to take away Americans' guns.
"That's what's at the heart of his agenda," he said. "He wants complete government control."
The state lawmaker said he has gotten strong support from his constituents and notes that he happens to be a gun owner as well.
"I care about my family enough to make sure if someone is going to come into our home that we are going to be protected," he said.

There's already an open thread on this here.
"It is long been a principle of ours that one is no more armed because he has possession of a firearm than he is a musician because he owns a piano. There is no point in having a gun if you are not capable of using it skillfully." -- Jeff Cooper

Zumba classes at Shawnee Volunteer Fire Company's building are popular with local instructor Linda DeJesus, who will add two new classes starting next week, and is offering newcomers the opportunity to try a class for free.
Zumba classes at Shawnee Volunteer Fire Company's building are popular with local instructor Linda DeJesus, who will add two new classes starting next week, and is offering newcomers the opportunity to try a class for free.
"My energy has increased dramatically, which is what I was looking for," says Robin Farris, who has been taking DeJesus's Zumba Fitness class since January 2012. "It gets me out doing other activities when I'm not doing Zumba. I keep coming back because I enjoy the songs and the people. Plus knowing the moves to the songs enables me to push myself more."
Zumba Fitness, the popular aerobic workout disguised as a dance party, is taught each Monday and Wednesday from 7:15-8:15 p.m. A free try-it session will be offered Monday.
In the fall, DeJesus added Zumba Toning to her lineup, which adds maraca-like one- or two-pound weights to incorporate body-sculpting and strength training. The Toning class meets from 6:15-7 p.m. Wednesdays. A free "try-us-out" class will be offered Wednesday, the start of the spring session.
"If you've thought of taking the toning class, have taken it, would like to take it or just want to find out what all the hype is about, come try us out with no obligation," DeJesus saids. "We'd love to have you."
Especially for seniors and beginners
New this spring will be also a Zumba Gold class on Mondays from 6:15-7 p.m., starting with a free try-it class on April 8.
"Zumba Gold takes the Zumba formula and modifies the moves and pacing to suit the needs of the active older participant, as well as those just starting their journey to a fit and healthy lifestyle," DeJesus said. "What stays the same are all the elements the Zumba Fitness-Party is known for: the zesty Latin music, like salsa and merengue; the exhilarating, easy-to-follow moves; and the invigorating, partylike atmosphere. Active older adults want camaraderie, excitement and fitness as a regular part of their weekly schedule. Zumba Gold is the perfect fit. It's a dance-fitness class that feels friendly, and most of all, fun.
"After several classes, this will gradually become a Zumba Gold Toning Class, which offers the best of both worlds: the exhilarating experience of a Zumba Fitness-Party with the benefits of safe and effective strength training."
The easy-to-follow Zumba Gold dance-fitness program is geared to baby boomers and beginners. Using the dynamic light weight-resistance training and energizing Latin rhythms, Zumba Gold-Toning classes help participants build muscle strength, increase bone density and improve mobility, posture, coordination and balance.
As a ZIN member (Zumba Instructor Network), DeJesus continually expands her own skill levels and training directly through Zumba, which ensures she is teaching safe yet challenging routines that are easy to follow.
"It also allows freedom of creativity while staying true to Zumba, which should be 70 percent international/Latin rhythms and 30 percent anything of our choosing," said DeJesus, who often takes her cue for random selections from class members.
She loves the variety of music styles and the fun of introducing new routines, always tailoring each class to the individual needs of the members. Many of her now-regular attendees report weight loss, improved energy and mood and overall better health as a benefit of doing Zumba.
"I've lost 22 pounds and strengthened my core," said LaSonia Reynolds, who has been taking both Zumba Fitness and Zumba Toning two or three times a week with DeJesus since last spring. "Although I am exhausted at the end of every class, I enjoy the movements and the music. The energy that Linda has keeps me going. I love being with the other ladies, and that keeps me coming back for more. I like watching Linda make eye contact with each one of us. It makes you feel that she really cares about us all. It's a great class. I hate to miss it. My family, co-workers and patients all ask me what I am doing "� and (say) how good I am looking. Zumba is what brightens my week."
All classes are held at Shawnee Fire Company on Hollow Road, just south of Shawnee Lake. less than a mile from Shawnee Playhouse in Shawnee Village. Doors open 15 minutes before the start of each class.
Walk-ins are always welcome and those who've never tried Zumba need not be intimidated. DeJesus gives continual prompts to help the uninitiated pick up the moves, yet all selections are adapted to suit a person's comfort level and experience, and she also modifies the choreography to suit the abilities of each class.

Does iTunes still try and take over your PC, and replace all your tags / album art with what it 'thinks' is the correct version?
I have been using Audiograbber for years.http://www.audiograbber.orgIt will rip to loads of different formats but I rip to WAV and MP3 on a Windows system.It rips the CD to WAV and then encodes to MP3. I keep the WAV so I have an uncompressed version of the song and the compressed MP3.Simple to use and run also has a button to link to FreeDB to get the song details and can read CD-TEXT from the CD and such.When I am ripping Vinyl I rip to FLAC and MP3. Mainly due to the software I use for that (Audacity)Good luck with it all.

The 'Royal Mail Steamer Titanic' ranks with HMS Victory, the Golden Hind and the Santa Maria as one of the most famous ships in history. Titanic's commercial career lasted just a few days in April 1912 but her legacy has remained strong throughout the 20th century and continues to enthral in the 21st century.
When Titanic began her sea trials on 1 April 1912 she was the largest moving object ever made by man. She left Southampton for her maiden voyage on 10 April 1912, calling at Cherbourg before sailing on to Queenstown in Ireland. By the time she left Queenstown on 11 April she had 884 crew, 337 first class, 271 second class and 706 third class (previously known as steerage) passengers. The majority of those who boarded were fated not to arrive but went on to perish in the icy waters of the North Atlantic on 15 April in what has become one of the most famous and poignant shipping disasters the world has ever known.
What happened on that fateful voyage, and why were so many lost. Was it fate, bad luck, incompetence, sheer negligence - or a fatal combination of events?

Congratulations are in order for Love & Theft's Eric Gunderson and his wife Emily. That's because the couple just revealed Emily is 13 weeks pregnant.
"Emily and I are so excited to announce that we will be having our first child on May 18th of next year," Eric wrote on the Love and Theft website. "I am so thrilled and know that my beautiful wife will be the most amazing mother."
"I'm beyond excited to share another journey through life with my best friend and husband," said Emily in an interview with Taste of Country. "I pray not only for a healthy baby, but for a baby that is as talented in music as his sweet and handsome father!"
The stoked father-to-be added, "I'm pretty excited. I've wanted to be a father forever, and now I feel like we're in a place in our career where it won't be the most nerve-wracking thing ever. I feel like I can support a family now. It will be good. We're really excited."
In another few weeks the couple will find out if they are having a boy or girl, and although the singer is hoping for a boy, he wouldn't be heartbroken to have a little girl.
"Obviously, I'm just hoping for a healthy baby," said Eric. "But I was the oldest in my family and I was a boy…I think it was cool for my sister to always have an older brother. I think I'd like to have a boy first and then a little girl, but I'll take whatever I get!"
Taking whatever he can get, the singer remains on tour, waiting to find out if his "Angel Eyes" baby will be a boy or girl.

Lilly Weekend Features Students from 11 Statesby Howard Hewitt • April 14, 2010 Share:
Wabash College will host 30 students this weekend all hoping to become a "Lilly Scholar." Three students will win scholarships equal to a 'full ride" or $170,000 over four years.
High school seniors from Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Florida, Nebraska, and Georgia will be on campus hoping to earn full tuition and room/board support.
To be eligible for a Lilly award, applicants must meet the minimum standards of:
- a GPA of 3.5 (4.0 scale)
- Rank in the top 20 percent of their senior class
- an SAT score of at least 1720 (reading, math, writing), or an ACT composite of at least 25
Each student's individual accomplishments, abilities, academic and extracurricular activities, and leadership abilities are all taken into consideration.
"Especially impressive are young men who have shown particular initiative, worked independently or innovatively, or made a vital contribution to their school or community," the requirements state.
The students arrive Thursday evening for a formal dinner. Bob Wedgeworth '59, a long-time member of the Wabash College Board of Trustees will give the keynote speech.
The students are interviewed Friday. The three interview panels will each have one administrator, two faculty, one alumnus and one trustee. The interview period lasts 30 minutes.
On Saturday, the applicants participate in a seminar discussion with other members of their interview group. Students are given a short text to read then participate in a one hour group discussion.
It's a short wait for the students, The Admissions Office will mail notification to winners Monday, April 19.
Last year Riley Floyd, Noblesville, Ind., Thomas Schmidt, Euless, Texas, and Liam Smith, Lawrence, Kansas, were named Lilly Scholars.

Manual for Living - A User's Guide to the Meaning of Life
I am looking for a POWERFULLY IMPACTFUL NON-TRADITIONAL (if possible) book cover design. You can go one of two ways with this. Little to no clip art but a very creative imagery (see two sample existing book covers that I have provided which almost show a unique book styling that looks almost 3-dimensions but perhaps beaten up a little - I REALLY LIKE THAT STYLE), or you can use one of the sunset photos that I have taken and provided if you are inspired to do something in that direction (they are currently low resolution but if I go with your design I will provide a high resolution version). The book cover should exude curiosity and strength, while also showcasing confidence, wisdom, and even maybe ancient knowledge (no religious symbols please). Also, no need to overdo it, please keep it crisp and clean. The name of the book needs to be large enough that one can read it easily from 4 feet away.
The book is trade paper (paperback) 6"x9" 274 pages. Please find attached a copy of the design TEMPLATE that needs to be used – in EPS or INDD – your choice. Layered source files will be required. One round of minor text edits may be requested. The winner of this contest will be given first priority to design the two next books in the series if you are interested.

Israelis cynically refer to the repeated rounds of violence with the Arabs as "happiness," as in "it's happy today." Before the cease-fire, as Hamas fired 1,000 rockets at Israel, it was indeed very "happy."
A diplomatic push put an end to the fighting, with intensive mediation efforts by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. If the truce holds, happiness will be behind us, for now.
It is standard diplomatic practice to view crises as an opportunity to seek fundamental change in the situation. Well before Operation Pillar of Defense started, strategists and pundits were calling on President Obama to devote his second term to a renewed effort to promote the long-moribund peace process. They are wrong.
The last thing the Middle East needs today — especially Israelis and Palestinians — and the last thing the U.S. needs is another failed American-led peace process. And it would fail. What Bill Clinton and George W. Bush could not achieve on the basis of Israel's dramatic proposals in 2000 and 2008, Obama will not be able to do today. Regional conditions are far less propitious.

Spend more time doing the things you love.
Read what our customers are saying about us
To Do Done provided us with a firm quote along with painting advice for walls and bulkheads for our new 2 bedroom condo. The work was scheduled and completed on time and on budget and has absolutely transformed our condo. The workmanship and care taken to ensure a complete job was second to none.
Dan Clement
Your guys are absolutely amazing! What a great crew. They were so fast and all so lovely and professional and helpful and friendly. I had tiles in my car and planned on just unloading them myself, but next thing I knew, without me saying anything, they were out helping to carry them in, just to be helpful! And all of them were super polite with a great work ethic. As a teacher I was inspired and wanted to ask each one of them what it was in their lives that gave them this great work ethic and professionalism. Thanks for the great service!
Amy Gauldie
We are all so busy with work & family and some jobs you should simply leave to the experts!

After conducting an investigation of possible theft of loam (soil composed of a mixture of sand, clay, silt and organic matter) by Department of Public Works (DPW) employee Dan Conley, the Warwick Police Department (WPD) has concluded it lacks critical evidence necessary to the prosecution of the alleged crime.
As Capt. Robert Nelson stated in a recent report, police don't have a witness, statement, video or verbal testimony identifying the person responsible for the crime, or whether or not a crime existed at all.
In an email sent to the administration, which was forwarded to the Warwick Beacon, Nelson said the matter would remain an open investigation pending further information. Unless the department receives more information and/or evidence of the theft, they will likely close the case within a six-month time frame.
"We are awaiting some soil test result, which may or may not, change the status of this case," he wrote. "Quite frankly, there is simply not enough conclusive video showing the actual theft. And absent an actual witness who could give testimony to what was seen, there is not enough evidence [or] information to prove the elements of the crime."
Col. Stephen McCartney agreed.
"I'm not sure that the lab tests are going to get us over the threshold of establishing probable cause that a crime was committed," McCartney said during a brief phone interview yesterday morning. "Absent further cooperation from the public or better information that we initially received, we are falling short of probable cause, as Capt. Nelson has indicated in his report."
The alleged theft surfaced in November when WPRI News reporter Walt Buteau contacted the police, stating his cameraman videotaped Conley stealing loam and delivering it to a home located on Cottage Grove Avenue. Nelson noted in his report that WPRI News "was less than cooperative" with police when questioned about videotape evidence but, after some "reluctance," granted the WPD permission to view video evidence to be aired on the news.
"There is and has been no video evidence showing the transfer of city owned loam to the privately owned dump truck of Dan Conley," Nelson wrote.
He also wrote that WPRI News personnel refused to give statements or provide any other information. The story aired Nov. 15.
The Warwick Beacon ran a story about the issue in the Nov. 22 edition, as well, reporting WPRI's findings.
Buteau reported that he and a WPRI cameraman witnessed Conley "on multiple occasions … driving and parking a pair of privately registered trucks on city property near the compost facility on Sandy Lane. The trucks were loaded several times with what appeared to be loam, which Conley then hauled from the facility."
They then followed Conley to the home on Cottage Grove Avenue, where George (Rob) Maddox resides, "and watched as the truck dumped the dirt in the driveway." About an hour later, Buteau reported, the empty dump truck was parked in front of property owned by Conley.
Buteau also interviewed Conley, who repeated, "I have no comment," but then said he was not taking loam, rather, he was taking compost, which is free.
According to Nelson's report, DPW Acting Director David Picozzi said he doesn't buy much loam to keep on hand because he doesn't have the room to store it in large quantities. He also told officers he was not aware of any missing loam, and that some loam is kept in the compost area with other materials so city workers can make repairs to lawns damaged by snow plows and routine work putting in sewers and water lines.
Further, Picozzi stated that the large pile of dirt seen in the WPRI footage was removed from City Park during a field renovation and was being used to "dress up" the ball fields behind McDermott Pool.
Conley, the supervisor of the compost facility and the heavy equipment operator, owns and operates a small landscaping business in addition to his job with DPW. He spoke to detectives through his attorney, who relayed to police that he claims he did not steal the loam. Instead, Conley said he received the loam from Vineyard Road Landscaping in a bartered deal for services. No money or receipt of the transaction exists.
Following the Jan. 14 council meeting, Conley approached a Beacon reporter expressing his innocence. However, he did not want to go on the record.
The police report notes that it is estimated that the most loam that was taken was approximately four yards, with a price estimate of $20 per yard, making the total possible theft to be about $80. Under standards set by Rhode Island General Laws, Nelson wrote, the crime would be classified as a petty misdemeanor.
Based on Conley's employment with the city, Nelson suggested a "complete and conclusive" internal investigation be conducted by the Personnel Department to determine if Conley violated any policies and procedures regarding the loam situation.
"In addition, I would suggest that at the conclusion of any investigation into the employee's actions, a comprehensive interview should be conducted with the employee relating to his actions…" Nelson wrote. "The employee, based on his employment with a public entity, should be required to be forthcoming in all aspects of these allegations with no allowances for deception of any kind."
If there are any changes to the factual information, the case can be re-opened at any time within the statute of limitations.
Again trying to ruin the reputation if good people. Next time Walt Beuteu should do his homework instead of listening to the "captain" and his posse of idiots!
channel 12 should report some real news
The walls are closing in on these thieving DPW employees.
The court of public opinion finds him guilty and the public is very aware plenty of DPW workers are in general stealing from the department.
They know as they know many fire fighters and cops fake disability. They are getting away with it but the public knows all about the cover ups and corruption.
So these posts you losers write are transparently lies and moreover sad.
Corruption in the public worker domain is prevalent and public unions are hated more every day.
You are not fooling anyone with your posts and the public knows people are getting away with stuff.
They sure as hell don't believe your posts and the only positive feedback YOUR posts will EVER get are from other DPW workers.
Just because or "captain" why don't you try to contribute something positive to our community instead of all this blah blah blah blah blah. Same old story and that's why you only have a handful of characters that follow you . And by the way have you looked up there police records ? Not good ! I hope that you keep it up ,it's good entertainment ! Yes and I agree with you on one thing , the public does no the truth, of all the accusations you make trying to slander everyone else only you have been on the other side of the law a few times! And none one is trying to fool anyone with these posts it's just an opportunity to put the truth out there. So you can sit behind these posts but you embarrass yourself time and time again with erroneous accusations!
Everybody knows of the corruption and it goes right to the top level. Thats why we get the insider tips from your co-workers. They know we keep their tips, all tips FULLY confidential and that WE FOLLOW UP ON TIPS. The cops are in on the corruption and PROVED they cannot be trusted with any tips or leads.THATS why noone, includeing your co-workers dont bring tips to the cops anymore.We get them!
We know all about your insider meetings where Picozzi tries to intimidate tipsters. We know all about Cote's name on the wall.
So where does that leave us? Public workers vs Taxpayers. You know it, and everybody knows it. Why don't YOU do something positive and stop stealing from the department. The department IS the taxpayer and the theft is not victimless.
You moron your tipster from within the department is in prison facing ten years for three armed robberies! Again you are just proving what I said earlier you and your bafoons are the criminals. Still going to intake center to visit him? Seen the visiting log you where there often. So the only criminals I see are you and a couple of posse! I see you mention me Piccozi ? He is key part of this community and is a great family man with qualities you can only fream of having !Keep posting same old blah blah blah blah blah! Public workers vs taxpayers? Or the captain vs public workers ? Oh now the police are corrupt it gets better and better? keep posting its goo stuff. Next time you go to the prison to get more bogus info tell him we said hi! I am doing something positive showing everyone how you like to lie and manipulate. What a conspiracy we got going here! The public is so lucky super captain came along to rescue the citizens of Warwick!! Up up and away! We had batman Spider-Man superman wonder women might mouse and now super captain . Sadly this is the comic book life that you live . What ashame . Sad but funny stuff!
The Warwick police are not corrupt. Just because there is no evidence doesn't mean there is a conspiracy. Show some evidence of corruption or shut up.
You are the moron, he is not the only tipster.
DPW criminals make the Good DPW workers look bad and the Good ones are fed up.
Expect more investigations.
Maybee you should put this much effort in your articles that you write for the beacon ! Your making your paper look bad by being so devoted to the captain.
Reminds me of the story of the PRIVATLY owned North Prov fire truck the OWNER was using to trim trees. The media swarmed on him cameras in his face blaming him for using city property in a different town. The only problem is the bafoons we call the media didn't ask a simple question before rolling the cameras. It was a 1957 vintage fire truck, owned by the homeowners friend bought from the city many years earlier.. Thats why the media has no credability. If they simple do a little research they would see answers before they look STUPID...
Just Because...or should we say jessica b....where have you gone....it is so easy to say things or print things or take pictures of people when you believe no one knows it is you.......but when the veil is lifted you run for cover ...where behind the captains skirt.......
They screw up the other DPW case by charging the guy under the wrong law, and now this. Do you wonder why the public is fed up and cynical? Call Barney Fife to solve the crime. By the way, where is a legit performance audit regarding the unfunded liability status of the municipal pension funds?
Which "Captain" are you talking about...Nelson, or is "Captain" a catch all term of derision to a whole bunch of folks in authority??
Morgan . . .of course . . .; no, it is actually a self-named, maniacal character called "TheCaptain"on the boards
Well we do know that one person (nayler) was caught taking stuff and videos came out regarding wasted time by city employees, and we know that public agencies can almost ALWAYS stand some oversight and improvement. So the anti-cote side taking the position that the city is perfect and a hapless victim, is just ridiculous. And the claim that this article is somehow pro-cote is also not how I read it, I saw just the opposite. I see the garden variety "concerned citizen" in cote, and push back in these comments by city-side folks here in these comments who bring up personal attacks and make accusations against cote and this newspaper of some kind of collusion, all in an article that basically exonerates the city. so, WHO has a vendetta mindset again? I have in the past even criticized the beacon in these comments sections but this time I see a report that just kind of states facts that the relevant authorities find the loam situation inconclusive.
It would be a different story if he was just a concerned citizen . However the public is not aware if his vendetta . Him and his girlfriend from the beacon are on a mission to get people fired they don't care who but they have embarrassed themselves with arronious allegations time and time . I would have a little sympathy for the two if them but I'm sorry I can't the two if them are nothing but pathological liars. Trust me on that one! In fact his name from here on in is no the captain anymore it's now WALT! He certainly has more dreamed up stories than mr Disney himself
Wow, wow and wow. I just started to read the Beacon here online. What the heck is going on? Attacks are quite the norm nowadays. Infantile. What ever happened to adult conversation?
tax payer...this is a place for people to express their opionions, and even though you did not ask for mine i would like to respond to yours....yes there have been a couple of employees who did not do the right thing. these people have been justly punished. Unfortunately this is not good enough for Mr Cote....if it was up to him they would be tarred feathered and held up for public humiliation......the last i knew this was america and after paying your dues you are awarded a 2nd chance...(the same 2nd chance mr cote was awarded after pleading down from a felony to a misdemeanor for a gas dumping incident..which is public record..along with his other run ins with law enforcment..which is also public record...alot of second chances for him)....so the city does take REAL offensives seriously for your comments on the article itself.....i had no problems with it...my beef was from the comments made by "justbecause"...or should we call her jessica b the writer of the article....in her comments she states the reason for no prosicution of mr conley was because of POLICE CORRUPTION and a coverup at the highest levels of city government.....well maybe jessica there was no evidence because he did nothing wrong...did that ever cross your mind....of course not...that would not fit what mr cote told you.....i am sorry you had to spend all that time riding around with him takeing pictures and videos and nothing came from it.(well at least you got a free meal at the OUTBACK STEAK HOUSE..at least i hope he paid)...and rodger to your last point about mr cote being a garden variety concerned citizen, and it being personal...well it is. you see awhile back mr cote made false alligations against me jeopardizing my job and ultimately my ability to provide for my family......concerned citizen NO WAY....lunitic liar closer to the truth.....but then again he and his gumada care nothing for the truth or who they hurt....
Does the Captin have nothing better to do than to be the self proclaimed savior for the taxpayers of Warwick. We moved to the City of Warwick because of the services they offer, I have friends in other communities and they are not getting nearly as many services as we receive. All I hear is "the captain" bashing the Mayer and the Govenor and the impression that I'm getting is he has an issue with all City Workers. Please correct me if I'm wrong did he not state that now the Police are corrupt. If you really want to be a Savior why don't you work on getting our money back from Curt Shilling. I've been to a couple of your rallies and I do believe counseling might help. You definately have the time for it.

This group does not have any discussions yet.
I recently audited a townhouse for a young family. The father had his baby strapped to the front of his chest in a baby carrier. As we spoke he bounced gently up and down to comfort the baby who was trying to sleep. I was asking him about comfort issues in the house. He told me that the first floor was always cold in the winter and nonchalantly said that he uses a kerosene heater down there to heat it up. He noticed my concern and said quickly that he grew up with kerosene heaters and knew how to use them safely. I explained how easily a piece of rust or poor adjustment could cause the heater to start generating carbon monoxide and how even if him and his wife only experienced headaches, their baby could die. The aha moment came very quickly when he thought about losing his child.
Most of the time it is when I uncover a health and safety issue regarding combustion appliances. This is a great opportunity to provide education.
The blower door is a great time to give lessons about CO and exhaust systems if the home is tight.
I always love a homeowner that shows interest and follows me around.
I use family, children, kids, wife, husband - or if I have learned them, the names. This morning is was Annabelle, their 3 year old. She helped by holding my extra flashlight. <GRIN>
I also start with house, but quickly move to home - especially with the ladies. In the basement or attic with the guys I revert to house.
BTW: I use ladies and guys here generically. I've had stay at home dads that are more interested in the hominess and the wife is more interested in the construction or technical aspects. I also had a little wife, 5-0 80# that did all the remodel work. She relegated her Policeman husband to doing the heavy lifting. She did not left him, hammer or paint, glue or run power tools.

Hello. My name is Kelly-joy I am part of the ALUK team along with Vicky, Jess, Debbie and Emmeline . I am also the bossy one that bosses everyone around to get everything done, lol.
I have been involved with rescue for many years with different rescues but mostly with the UKRCC which rescued and rehomed ragdolls and other pedigree cats. I was a rehoming coordinator, fosterer and helped with fund raising, making people more aware of the UKRCC and the general day-to-day running of the rescue.
I often get foster kittens to hand rear or the occasional animal or two dumped at my door which I have always found the very best of homes or rescues for.
I live with my lovely other half, Steve and our 2 little boys Tom, 13, and Leo, 11, who all put up with me and my animals!
I share my home with 5 cats: 3 ragdolls,, 1 very naughty Birman and 1 lovely moggie. I also have 2 dogs Noddy a cocker spaniel and Tilly a JRT x , I have also had rabbits , gerbils, hamsters etc that have all passed on now.
My role is to help to source rescue places for animals most at risk we are asked to help with which is mostly welfare cases and stray dogs from the pounds we work with. We also help the odd cat/kittens/small furries/reptile/ bird etc
If you ever want to get hold of me for whatever reason my email is:
This email also gets forwarded to Jess and Debbie on the team so if I am not about one of them will always answer any emails sent to this email address.
I would just like to say for all your support

Maury Povich shines in post-Oprah world
STAMFORD -- Behind a backstage door, Maury Povich leafs through papers and listens to his producers brief him on that day's paternity mysteries. He checks the pronunciation of a name or two, tries to get straight which man is claiming a childhood testicular injury. Then he's ready.
"Let's play the game," Povich says as he rises and heads toward the door.
A couple of turns down a hallway later, he steps onto a stage filled with women dancing to "Sexy and I Know It" over the loudspeaker. A roar of recognition greets him. Maury's people.
In the post-Oprah Winfrey daytime world, these are good days to be Maury Povich, who shares with Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos a studio converted from the Rich Forum theater in downtown Stamford. His show is having its best ratings in five years. "Maury" is the top talk show among young viewers.
Of course, talk show is a general term here. What Povich does is more specific. A backstage whiteboard reveals that most upcoming shows are about establishing paternity through DNA tests or smoking out cheating spouses with the help of a lie detector. Ads soliciting future participants also detail the subject matter: "Do you believe the man you're in love with is cheating on you? If so, call Maury" and "Do you believe your boyfriend or husband is having sex with one of your family members? If so, call Maury."
"Maury" clearly gets some interesting phone calls. Not to judge harshly, but if you're sitting onstage in front of a hooting, hollering audience waiting for Povich to pull a piece of paper from a manila envelope and tell you who the father of your child is, your life has probably taken a couple of wrong turns.
To Povich's good fortune, there's an inexhaustible supply of people who don't mind telling cringe-worthy stories about themselves.
"Maury" is a milder version of what Springer does -- no flashing or free-for-alls -- but is no different from the type of program that 15 years ago drew end-of-civilization media attention.
Now they essentially exist in a vacuum. Nobody notices except regular fans.
"I haven't heard from (corporate bosses) NBC in a long time about the content on my show," Povich said. The show makes money, and there's a more liberal view of what is acceptable on television today. "In terms of what's on cable, we're kind of tame," he said.
What was once shocking now seems routine, said Walter Podrazik, curator for the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago. Turn down the sound and you'd be hard-pressed to know whether you're watching a rerun of Povich or Springer from a dozen years ago, he said.
It was around that time that Povich did his first paternity show with DNA testing. Now they're a staple, four stories each hour. It's a parlor game: A woman wakes up naked in bed next to her husband, memory foggy from a wild party the night before. The man's best friend, also naked, wakes up on a futon at the foot of the bed. Who's the daddy?
"There was an argument back then that if you beat people over the head with the same thing, they'd get tired of it," Povich said. "Well, guess what? The opposite is true. They want it more. They want DNA more. They want lie detectors more. They want crazy teenagers so that they can realize they're not as bad as some of those other people out there. When we narrowed our focus, the more popular we became."
Povich is also convinced a snap decision he made for the first paternity show pays dividends now. He learns the back stories of his guests but doesn't peek at the results. He finds out the real father when he opens the envelope onstage. Povich said that enables him to better ask questions he thinks the audience wants to know.
Povich was a longtime broadcast journalist in Washington before entering the syndicated world. He owns a newspaper in Montana, where he has a home with his wife, TV journalist Connie Chung. His $1 million gift last year to his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, established a fund for journalism programs. His dad was the legendary Washington Post sportswriter Shirley Povich. He knows his way around big-name media circles.
Yet since he went to "A Current Affair" in 1986, Povich knows he's going to get some disapproving looks from other guests at snooty cocktail parties. That's when he heads to the kitchen, or talks to the bartender. His people.
He said he's always wanted to tell stories, and still does. If people look down on him for doing that, he looks down on them.
"Inside, I'm telling these people, `You don't know me,'" he said. "`I could be like you for the rest of my life. I just decided not to be. I could be one of your elite journalists. For Christ's sake, I was for a long time. It's not the end-all and be-all. It never was.'"
Sometimes it bothers Chung. She'll say to her husband that no one knows anymore that he was a good reporter and writer. They don't remember what he did before refereeing shouting matches between estranged spouses.
"I always say, `It doesn't matter, honey, as long as you know,'" he said. "Who cares?"
One night while driving in a Midwestern city with some golf buddies, Povich got lost in a dicey part of town. He stopped at a convenience store for directions, and his fearful friends locked the car doors behind him. A few minutes later, Povich emerged laughing and talking with three men thrilled that their favorite talk-show host had paid a visit.
Fit at age 73, Povich is signed for another season after this, the show's 14th year. He expects he'll keep going beyond that.
And why not? He works seven months a year, a couple of days a week. There's a little commute from Manhattan, but not bad. It's a safe bet that he makes more money a year than his studio audience at any taping. The entire audience. Combined.
A friend recently tut-tutted Povich about the show, shaking his head and saying he wouldn't do it for a million dollars.
Povich's eyes twinkled as he recalled his response.
"I said, `Neither would I.'"

UN Security Council to meet Syria opposition group
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Britain is organizing an informal meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Friday so members can exchange views with senior leaders of Syria's main opposition group.
Britain's U.N. Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said Tuesday that the delegation from the Syrian National Coalition will be led by Ahmed al-Jarba, president of the Western-backed umbrella group.
The council has been deeply divided over Syria since the conflict began 2 1/2 years ago. Russia and China, who support the Syrian government, have vetoed three Western-backed resolutions aimed at pressuring President Bashar Assad to end the violence which has killed over 93,000 people, according to the United Nations.
Lyall Grant said the meeting will provide a forum for council members to have "a frank and informal exchange" with the National Coalition on a number of issues involved in ending the violence in Syria.
Near the top of the list are preparations for an international conference in Geneva, backed by the United States and Russia, to try to agree on a transitional government based on a plan adopted in that city a year ago. The National Coalition said recently it will not attend the Geneva talks unless they are about Assad handing over power and until the military balance in Syria is restored.
Robert Serry, the U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, told the Security Council on Tuesday that the U.N. is working to ensure that the Geneva conference takes place as soon as possible.
Lakhdar Brahimi, the U.N.-Arab League envoy, has held two rounds of talks with U.S. and Russian officials to prepare for the conference but while progress has been made, a number of issues are still under discussion, he said.
Al-Jarba's election earlier this month suggested the opposition is trying to unite despite its differences after Assad's forces started gaining ground last month. The opposition bloc is primarily composed of exiled politicians with little support among Syrians back home.
The National Coalition delegation is visiting Paris Tuesday and Wednesday before heading to New York.
Germany's U.N. Ambassador Peter Wittig is hosting a meeting Thursday for the delegation to meet diplomats from a number of countries that are not on the Security Council, Germany's U.N. Mission said.

When I was a child, my favourite TV programme, at least until the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy came along, was Doctor Who.
Anyone of a similar vintage to me will, no doubt, have the same bias for the crazy-eyed, mad-haired, yo-yo-fiddling, jelly baby offering, elongated scarf-touting fourth doctor portrayed by Tom Baker.
I was reminded of this fact back in April this year when Marsh, Nicola and Mike Hall from the Merseyside Skeptics Society stayed at my house for a few days. I spent some enjoyable time reminiscing about past doctors with Mike, the skeptic communities' resident expert on the itinerant Time Lord.
All this however seems fairly irrelevant to the remit of this blog. Which in case you've forgotten, is to promote the scientific method and critical thinking whilst tweaking the nose of irrational beliefs based on traditions grounded in supernatural, paranormal or pseudoscientific mumbo jumbo.
However, I suspect that the Venn diagram of Skeptics and Doctor Who Fans might look a little like this:
Following Mike's visit back in April I have acquired myself a complete back catalogue of the Tom Baker Doctor Who years which I am currently using to revisit my childhood. As I'm working may through the episodes, I can't help but notice numerous references and examples of the good doctor promoting the scientific method and critical thinking whilst tweaking the nose of irrational beliefs based on traditions grounded in supernatural, paranormal or pseudoscientific mumbo jumbo.
I'm unsure if the connection with science, reason and critical thinking was something that just passed me by on my first childhood encounter of the doctor, or whether some of these ideas unconsciously helped form my current way of thinking.
Either way, I consider the link between Doctor Who and skepticism valid enough to warrant a blog post or two. To this end I have spent a few weeks cobbling together an ambitious Doctor Who infographic, which is now just about finished. It may be a slight departure from my normal fare, but I'm hoping it may reach some of the people in the right hand part of my Venn diagram.
I shall be publishing it here d'rectly.

New Delhi: Buoyed by the victory on the FDI issue in Parliament, the government on Friday said it will bring more bills in coming weeks for ushering in economic reforms.
"Certainly, we are going to bring in more legislation in coming weeks in Parliament (financial bills) and we will be engaging all political parties on it," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath told reporters here.
The Minister was asked if approval of FDI in retail by Parliament was a signal for more reforms in the near future.
Asked if the government has sought support of BJP on the financial bills, he said, "I have discussed with them. I am sure that BJP will also support us. They want one or two amendments in the bills and that discussion is going on. Convergence on this issue would be neccessary."
On the government`s victory on the FDI issue in Rajya Sabha, Finance Minister P Chidambaram said, "After the Lok Sabha vote, it was perhaps not necessary to demand vote in Rajya Sabha. It is the right of Rajya Sabha and they asked for it.
"We showed that we have a clear majority. The government has demonstrated that in both the Houses...We have the majority."
Minister of State in the PMO V Narayanasamy said FDI in retail is a subject, "which the Opposition parties took to a hype. The government`s pro-reform policy (FDI in retail) has been approved by Parliament."
"We will take up other reforms in the interest of the nation and for economic reforms. This is the first step in that direction," he said.
Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajiv Shukla termed the approval of Rajya Sabha on FDI as a "grand victory for the government".
"The entire propaganda of the Opposition parties, especially BJP and the Left front, has been exposed. Parliament has endorsed FDI in retail, which is in the interesets of the farmers... And there will be no harm to small retailers," he said.
Several important bills are likely to be taken up by Parliament for clearance during the ongoing session including the Companies Bill, Competition Bill and FDI in insurance and pension sectors.

So you want to do something special for Valentines Day but have limited funds? Well lucky for you, Oshkosh has some great events going on that won't cost you much but will score you some big points all close to the inn.
Friday evening (Valentines Day), Chef Mike at Beckets restaurant on the Fox River, will be serving up some wonderful entrees exclusively for Valentines Day. Janet Planet, a jazz vocalist, will also be playing by the roaring fire. Sounds wonderfully romantic to me. Beautiful atmosphere on the river, great food and free live music!
Saturday from 9:00-12:30 the indoor Saturday Farmers Market at Washington Hall will be hosting Tin Sandwich. Enjoy great music while checking out beautiful crafts, canned goods, pottery, soaps, and so much more.
Saturday evening Dockside Tavern, just across the river from Beckets, will be hosting Piano Bar with Michael Massey at 6:00 PM. Free champagne with every entree purchase and two 4 one martinis all night long.
You have to eat sometime, so why not choose one or both of these great restaurants on the Fox River, just blocks from the inn, hear some amazing music for free and check out the indoor farmers market if you have never been. I hear it is supposed to warm up here the next few days, so by this weekend it will be the perfect romantic weekend.
