Ontario First Nation Wins Cleaner Forest after 10 Years of Logging Blockade
Ten years ago today, on December 3 of 2002, members of Grassy Narrows First Nation began a blockade to prevent the passage of logging equipment and trucks through their traditional territory.
Located fifty miles north of Kenora, a small Canadian city on the north shore of Lake of the Woods, Grassy Narrows is a semi-remote Anishinaabe community with a population of about 950 people who live on the reserve (reserves are the Canadian equivalent of reservations in the United States). For generations, the people of Grassy Narrows have hunted, trapped, fished, and gathered throughout the 14 square miles of their reserve, as well as a vast region of 2,500 square miles drained by northwestern Ontario's English-Wabigoon river system. Their culture, language, and spirituality are all closely connected to their boreal forest homeland.
In the 1990s, as industrial logging intensified across Canada, Anishinaabe subsistence harvesters watched with unease as clearcuts grew larger and drew closer to their reserve. They wrote letters to logging companies and government officials, but received no substantive response. They conducted peaceful protests in Kenora, but the clearcutting continued.
It was time to try something different. One frigid night in early winter, three young community members placed logs across a snow-covered logging road north of the reserve. They were soon joined by dozens of community leaders, teachers, and youth.
Far from the lights of human settlement, the glare of logging trucks' headlights was stark and bright. In the early days of the blockade, Grassy Narrows youth faced these lights with outstretched arms. The blockaders lit a sacred fire and established a camp at an adjacent turn-around, where Grassy Narrows residents and their supporters maintained a 24/7 presence for close to a year.
In it for the long haul
Today marks the tenth anniversary of that cold first night. And while the blockade has stood for ten years, Grassy Narrows residents have been fighting for the right to make decisions concerning their traditional territory and keep their culture alive for much longer than that.
In 1873, the forefathers of Grassy Narrows, along with representatives of 26 other Anishinaabe groups, signed Treaty Three, the third of Canada's numbered treaties. Although the agreement's original intent (and therefore its contemporary interpretation) is debated, the official text of Treaty Three guaranteed that aboriginal signatories would "have right to pursue their avocations of hunting and fishing throughout the tract surrendered."
The fact that industrial clearcutting—carried out under provincial licenses— infringes upon these federally guaranteed rights has figured prominently in blockaders' position papers and press releases, and was the central tenet of the legal challenge filed by three Grassy Narrows trappers in 1999.
The past 139 years have brought many changes to western Ontario. Anishinaabe people throughout the region have suffered from by a series of catastrophic impositions, including year-round settlement on small reserves, the 1876 Indian Act, which imposed external forms of government on native Canadians and aimed to strip them of their distinctive cultural traditions, and mandatory assimilative schools for native children.
At Grassy Narrows, two additional events—relocation and mercury contamination—had even more disastrous consequences. In the early 1960s, the Canadian government relocated and consolidated Grassy Narrows' population, promising on-reserve schooling for children, access to medical care, and modern infrastructure. The move dramatically disrupted traditional social relationships. Already struggling to cope with the effects of relocation, Grassy Narrows residents learned in 1970 that mercury contamination had been discovered in the English-Wabigoon River system. The toxic metal was traced to the effluent of a pulp and paper mill located in far-upstream Dryden, Ontario. As it flowed downstream, the mercury bio-accumulated in the tissues of small aquatic organisms, fish, and eventually Anishinaabe people. The effects on physical health, economic opportunities, and collective psychosocial security were severe.
By 2002, stopping the clearcutting within Grassy Narrows' traditional territory had emerged as the most immediate and visible impetus for direct action. Grassy Narrows residents knew that their own health depended on the health of northwestern Ontario's waters and forests. Yet given that industrial logging is merely the latest in a long line of social and environmental injustices, the protection of their boreal forest homeland is only part of the blockaders' agenda: they are equally—and inseparably—concerned about asserting their treaty rights and renewing their land-based way of life.
The cultural significance of the direct action at Grassy Narrows is apparent to anyone who has spent time at the blockade site. Shortly after the blockade began, the local school started holding on-site indigenous-studies classes, and community members started coming together at the blockade to share wild foods like moose meat, wild rice, blueberries, and local fish. They participated in traditional religious ceremonies and enjoyed each other's company.
As Canadian alternative media outlets spread the word about the ongoing blockade, a network of supporters appeared across Canada and beyond. Some individuals traveled to Grassy Narrows to lend a hand. Others sent words of encouragement or donated much-needed supplies and funds. Nonprofit groups also took up the cause: Rainforest Action Network, Christian Peacemaker Teams, and others worked to ensure that Grassy's message was carried far and wide. Countless environmentalists, human-rights advocates, and consumers of paper products helped to strengthen the longest-standing anti-logging blockade in Canada's history by supporting it and challenging corporations to find alternative sources of wood.
After years of hard work, a healthier forest
After five and a half years, the hard work of the blockaders and their allies began to pay off on the ground. In February of 2008, U.S. paper producer Boise-Cascade caved to an international solidarity campaign and declared that it would stop sourcing wood from Grassy Narrows territory unless Grassy Narrows consented to the logging. The company gave its supplier, AbitibiBowater (now Resolute Forest Products), a deadline of June 30. Facing an unyielding blockade, major contract cancellations, and appeals of their forest stewardship certification, on AbitibiBowater announced on June 5 that it was surrendering its license to log Grassy Narrows' territory. Against all odds, Grassy Narrows succeeded in halting the flow of logs from the community's customary land base to the mills of multinational corporations and evicted the world's largest newsprint company.
Grassy Narrows First Nation is one of thousands of indigenous communities worldwide currently defending their lands and lifeways. For more information, see http://freegrassy.org. To learn about other indigenous struggles see http://ienearth.org and http://www.culturalsurvival.org/.
More recently, in August of 2011, the lawsuit initiated by three Grassy Narrows trappers in 1999 received a favorable decision in Ontario's Superior Court. The ruling echoed blockaders' argument that the province of Ontario lacks legal authority to issue forestry licenses that interfere with treaty rights, an area of federal jurisdiction. The ruling has since been appealed and may ultimately be decided in Canada's Supreme Court.
Although logging companies are eager to access the area's valuable timber and recent provincial forest management plans leave the door open for this to occur, the hard-won hiatus from industrial logging remains in effect.
Putting an end to the clearcutting devastating Grassy Narrows' traditional territory, at least for the time being, is a remarkable achievement. It will be celebrated once again by First Nation residents and hundreds of their supporters this December.
But the story isn't over. In addition to fears that industrial logging may return to the region, Grassy Narrows residents continue to cope with the health effects of mercury contamination and the sociocultural effects of relocation and residential schooling.
Immured in a neocolonial system that places corporations' bottom lines above the well-being of indigenous citizens, the people of Grassy Narrow must now fight for what their ancestors once simply lived. They have no plans to back down. This, too, is something to celebrate. Their determined stance reminds us that corporate domination is neither complete nor inevitable, that alternative ways of life are worth fighting for.
It takes humility to recognize that what we've called progress isn't always for the better.
Tribes are pursuing a hands-on approach to finding and preparing native foods that give spiritual sustenance, too.
- In 1899, First Nations in northern Alberta signed a treaty with Queen Victoria that enshrined their right to practice traditional lifeways. Today, it's the basis for a legal challenge to Shell Oil's mining of tar sands.

50 years of success
THE BOBCAT has become such a familiar presence at the modern farm that it is difficult to remember a time before its existence. However, it has been only about 50 years since a small Midwest manufacturing company named Melrose first demonstrated its compact loader for the public at the Minnesota State Fair in 1958.
This brief but eventful history of Bobcat is captured in a new book written by Marty Padget and entitled Bobcat Fifty Years. The book is a handsomely illustrated and briskly written history of how an obscure North Dakota company emerged as a world leader through timely innovation and marketing.
The author recounts why farmers could see the benefits of an affordable, compact loader for a multitude of chores. One person could now complete repetitive hauling jobs with a fraction of the time and labor previously needed. Much has changed, but this book demonstrates how one great idea continues to be the basis of 50 years of business success.

Your child just came home with a homework assignment to find out the origin of his surname. Or perhaps your parents or grandparents have passed away, and you regret not asking them more. Whatever the scenario may be, where do I come from? is a fundamental question many of us ask at one point or another. In fact, 73 percent of people believe it is important to pass along their history to the next generation, and four in five Americans have an interest in learning about their family history, according to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive for Ancestry.com. So why don't more people actually do it?
With digitized records you previously had to search through libraries to find, it turns out that researching your family history is easier than ever. "People think it's going to suck up all of their time and that it's going to be really hard," says Sherry Lindsay, an associate genealogist at Ancestry.com. "But you're not writing a history report—you're just kind of gathering bits and pieces and finding things along the way. Just take it one step at a time."
Knowing your family history can also be vital for maintaining your health. Diseases like heart disease, cancer, cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia can run in families. Mapping the illnesses suffered by your blood relatives can help your doctor predict the disorders you may be at risk for and take the appropriate preventative measures.
But ultimately, genealogy is all about connections. "These days, we're all vagabonds," says Megan Smolenyak, author of Hey, America, Your Roots are Showing. "We all wind up living in places that our families aren't originally from. It helps to have that sense of connection, of belonging—that's one of the things that genealogy does for you. It connects people across oceans and across centuries. As you research ancestors, you learn more about yourself, too."
Here are a few simple guidelines that will help you begin your own journey into your family's past.
Start Small
"Always start with what you know," says Lindsay. And while your first instinct might be to jump online and start Googling, try writing down the answers to simple questions like, who are your parents and your grandparents? Write down all of the information that you know. Don't get frustrated if you don't know a specific date. "You can probably delineate some of those gaps with guesses and approximate dates, and then get in contact with your family," Lindsay says.
Dig for Artifacts
"A lot of us are sitting on a ton of family history and don't even realize it," says Smolenyak. She recommends organizing a scavenger hunt for old photographs (with names scribbled on the back), diplomas, yearbooks, military medals—anything that you can find around the house. Get the kids involved and have them forage through the attic, basement or closets for an impromptu rainy day activity—it's a fantastic way to get them interested in their own history.
Make Some Calls
"Get on the phone and talk to relatives because they are living libraries," Smolenyak says. "A few minutes of chatting with them can shave months off of your research, and can also save you from barking up the wrong tree." Reach out and just ask questions. And even if you don't discover any new information, your grandmother will be delighted to hear from you.
Make the Most of Reunions and Holidays
Family gatherings are an excellent time to interview relatives. It's also a good chance to iron out any inconsistencies, as everyone will be gathered in one place and misinformation can be corrected immediately. In 2004, the Surgeon General declared Thanksgiving to be National Family History Day; instead of napping after the turkey has been cleared, consider opening a dialogue about your family history.
Beware the Last Name Trap
You find other people with the same unique last name—jackpot! Not so fast. Smolenyak cautions against attaching yourself to the wrong family tree because of your surname. "I don't care how weird your name is. There are other people out there with that name," she says. "So if you do a little bit of homework first [before you assume you're related], you'll make your whole journey much smoother."
Get Online
The internet has made family research much more accessible to everyone. "The literally billions of records that have been digitized and indexed and dumped online has made it easier," says Smolenyak. "You can now find in an hour of surfing what might have taken me maybe a couple of months to get before."
Here are the best online resources to help you organize all of the information you find:
The largest resource for family history that is available online, with records from all over the world. You can build your family tree from scratch and include notes, attach documents, and share on Facebook—all for free. But if you wish to access most of Ancestry's 7 billion records, it's $22.95 per month (after a 14-day free trial). You can also hire one of their progenealogists, the experts who lend their expertise to the reality television show Who Do You Think You Are?, to do the research for you.
A more affordable alternative to some of the larger, pay-for-access genealogy sites. After a free 7-day trial, membership costs just $39.95 for an entire year. Archives.com offers 2 billion digital records, and they are expanding rapidly.
An entirely free resource with millions of records online. This non-profit service, sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is more international in scope than other genealogy sites. They also offer a research wiki with how-to articles on genealogy.
This one-man site is a directory of online death resources from all over the United States, taken from obituaries, cemeteries, and vital records. It is neatly organized by state and county. Links are available to similar resources for naturalization records, military records, and other relevant information.
A volunteer effort where contributors upload photos and transcriptions of tombstones from their local cemeteries. There are currently 77 million grave records available and members can submit requests for headstone photos. Best of all—membership is free.
A free search engine that sifts through genealogy-specific blogs and websites, including state and local historical societies and the Library of Congress.

MPD's Beat the Streets block party today from 3:30 to 7:30, 5500 block of Illinois Avenue NW
The Metropolitan Police Department is holding its Beat the Streets event today from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the 5500 block of Illinois Avenue NW (between Georgia Avenue and Kennedy Street). The Beat the Streets project is a collaboration between MPD and various community organizations and aims to dispel violence and encourage people to live more peacefully by making community services accessible. Nonprofits and agencies that plan to have representatives attend include HandsOn Greater DC Cares, Daddy's Corner, Washington Humane Society, DC SANE, US ARMY, US Marshalls, Samaritans Feet, DC Water, the Department of Health and Human Services (Family Services) and more. I hear there will be music and food as well, but I was unable to obtain a list of performers, so you'll have to just swing by to hear for yourself.

The lukewarm rice porridge in my bowl had zero flavor. None. It was a study in sensory deprivation.
As a wise man once said, "When in Rogue, do as the Rogue do." This is old-proverb-speak for "Northwest breweries should stick with the badass bitter beers they're known for." Just look at Rogue Brewery's OG flagship brews Shakespeare Stout, Brutal Bitter and Old Crustacean, all of them harsh, complex and consistently on point. But with their newest concoction, Monk Madness, the preeminent Oregon tastemakers at Rogue have continued to stray from their roots to unimpressive results. Right now, every American brewer and his mother seems to think it's his right, or obligation, to try his hand at a Belgian-style ale. The results can be disastrous for one simple reason: Belgian ales, even the strongest of the bunch, have a subtlety and traditional pureness to them that the American ruffian brewer can't recreate. Rogue's tribute to the Belgian ale, for instance, hinges on five varieties of malts and five different hops—an ambitious recipe on paper that damn well goes too far. The deep velour and rippled brown color is off-putting, the sour bite of it is upsetting. Everything about the burnt-caramel hop flavor and slightly hopped-up, nutty booziness screams "identity crisis," like an American playboy vacationing in an ancient monastery—and without the basic decency to learn Flemish. The fact is, Rogue's ever-expanding list of beers seems more and more like an excursion from what they are known for, and what they do best.
I've always been curious to know what sort of food is served to people in jail. I couldn't imagine inmates having a make-your-own-omelet bar or anything, but I think we're also past the days when the chain gang stopped at noon for porridge.

Purpose of education
Member since February 8, 2014
- 1 Post
I choose the theme education because me and my team are familiar with it and we can say the right things about it. I can also say education is the key to success. Without education, we could have no doctors to help us when we are sick.
In my life I have hated a lot of subjects like mathematics, but now I love it so much. I passed my grade eight exam, and after I am done with my education I would like to be a lawyer. Without education the world would be nothing. All the doctors, lawyers, and presidents who go to school would not be who they are today.

Keeping it real: Balancing family and fantasy gives student firm footing
By Audrey Webb
Journalism major Andrew Osegi has had a remarkable year. Not only is he graduating this week after just three years at Texas State — taking courses during both summer sessions each year put him on the fast track to earning his diploma — but his contributions to the social media efforts of Texas State University's Office of University Marketing resulted in his being named "Student Employee of the Year" — a fine feather to stick in his graduation cap.
Osegi, 21, believes much of his success is due to his ability to set and keep priorities. For example, regardless of what has gone on in his academic life — no matter how many papers there were to write or how many finals there were to study for — one of Osegi's top priorities has been watching "Game of Thrones" with his sister every Sunday night.

GAMBIER, Ohio - The Wittenberg Tigers jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter and cruised from there en route to a 38-7 victory over host Kenyon.
It has been 99 years since Kenyon last registered a win over Wittenberg on the gridiron, and the Tigers put together three first quarter drives that all but guaranteed a 22nd straight victory in the series. Over the final three quarters, Wittenberg struggled to find the same consistency on offense but still managed to pull away and improve to 6-1 overall and 6-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC).
The loss dropped Kenyon to 4-4 overall and 4-3 in the league, while the Tigers maintained their position atop the NCAC standings. Wittenberg has three regular season games remaining, starting with a home date against Ohio Wesleyan, followed by a road trip to current NCAC co-leader Wabash.
Sophomore running back Sean Gary (Indianapolis, Ind./Decatur) started the scoring with a two-yard run, followed by a 32-yard scoring strike from senior quarterback Reed Florence (South Charleston, Ohio/Southeastern) to senior wide receiver Brendon Cunningham (Kettering, Ohio/Fairmont) and a 44-yard connection from Florence to senior tight end Stephen Zumdick (Erlanger, Ky./Dixie Heights), all in the first 15 minutes. After Kenyon found the end zone, sophomore Evan Grissom (Piqua, Ohio/Piqua) hit a 21-yard field goal just before the half to stake the Tigers to a 24-7 advantage at the intermission.
After a scoreless third quarter, Wittenberg capped the scoring with a 20-yard touchdown pass from Florence to senior wide receiver Jonathan Stoner (Bowling Green, Ohio/Bowling Green) with 3:02 left in the game and junior linebacker Nick Gibson (Marysville, Ohio/Fairbanks) returned an interception 76 yards for his first career touchdown.
Gary led the Tigers' rushing attack with 71 yards on 16 carries, while Stoner finished with the most receptions (4) and Cunningham led in receiving yards with 70. Florence ended up 14-of-26 for 257 yards and three touchdowns through the air.
Senior linebacker Spencer Leno (Massillon, Ohio/Washington) led Wittenberg's defense with 11 tackles, followed by senior linebacker Evan Killilea (Columbus, Ohio/DeSales) and Gibson with 10 stops apiece. Senior defensive end Kyle Sanning (Fairborn, Ohio/Tecumseh) added five tackles, including three for loss (two sacks).

Go on the Road to The Show's New Minor League Stadiums
This year's MLB 13: The Show will include seven new minor league stadiums for some added variety during Road to the Show.
Kotaku spotted the first images and details of three of the seven new parks shown by The Show senior producer Jody Kelsey. Added to the nineteen already present in the series, there are now almost as many minor league parks as there are big league stadiums. Of course, since each MLB team has two minor league teams in the game (with many more in the real world), you're still going to see some repeat stadiums from time to time. However, at least this year there will be some new fields to enjoy.
The first three being shown off are Bayfront, which is situated on a Coney Island-esque pier, Crystal Falls, a nice small town stadium, and Stateman Park, which is right in the heart of a bustling metropolis. All of the parks have A distinct minor league feel, which helps differentiate them from the bigger architectural marvels MLB teams call home, and should be a welcome addition to the game.

I think I'm going to have to agree with Flound - go and find yourself a 'cougar' (though I'm not too sure what the qualifying age is for them? lol). 30's? If you date someone who is in their biological clock-ticking prime, more than likely she'll get broody on you and want to become a mother. Then again, you could meet a younger woman who is not interested in becoming a mother. Do you have any hobbies or interests that attract the opposite sex?

Last Wednesday, two girls track and field teams from the area delivered a one-two punch at the Pa. Independent Schools Championships at the Hill School, where Springside Chestnut Hill Academy won the 2013 title by scoring 98 team points, and Germantown Friends School was runner up with 91.
Germantown Friends has ruled supreme within the Friends Schools League for many moons, but SCH only started to become a factor in Girls Inter-Ac League competition within the last several years. On May 11, Springside Chestnut Hill finished second at the league championships, just one point behind Episcopal Academy (125-124).
Last Wednesday, the broader mix of teams at the Independent Schools meet wound up costing Episcopal more than the SCH Blue Devils; EA came in third behind GFS, with 87 points. Farther back in fourth place was Germantown Academy, whose total of 55 points put them ahead of Mercersburg Academy, with 46.5. Penn Charter, with 16 points, placed 10th out of the 14 girls' teams, which came almost entirely from Southeastern Pennsylvania. The exceptions were Mercersburg, from Central Pa., and the boys' team from Kiski Prep, which is located near Pittsburgh.
In the boys' competition last Wednesday, Malvern Prep was able to reverse the top two places from the previous weekend's Inter-Ac Championships, taking the Indy Schools title with 113.5 points while Penn Charter put up 86. The MVP of the Inter-Ac meet, PC's Daryl Worley, is primarily a football player, and he did not participate in Wednesday's affair. Four days earlier at the Inter-Ac's, he had won the 100, 200, and 400 meter events for the third straight year.
At Hill School a third Inter-Ac team, Haverford School, finished third with 54 points, but not far behind was fourth-place GFS, with 47. Germantown Academy (without injured distance star Ben Ritz) was sixth (43.5 points), two points shy of meet host Hill. In 11th place, with 16 points, were the boys of Springside Chestnut Hill.
On the girls' side, there were some outstanding performances by freshmen from area teams. Two ninth-graders accounted for 76 of SCH's 98 total points; Brooklynn Broadwater won the 100 and 200 meters and both hurdling events, and classmate Julia Reeves won the long jump and triple jump and was runner-up in both the 100 and 200.
Setting a new meet record of 2:14.52, Sarah Walker of Germantown Friends won the 800 ahead of Inter-Ac champ Kerry Lawlor, a Germantown Academy junior, while GA ninth-grader Paige Kupsky complemented her Inter-Ac victory in the 3200 with another gold medal at the Indy meet.
The Blue Devils picked up third-place points from senior Drew Davis in the 400 meters, and SCH came in second to Episcopal in the 4 x 100 meter relay, with the Devils' quartet consisting of Calder McNeil, Bridget Lipp, Essence Walden and Singley Risico.
GFS sophomore Taryn Milbourne came in third in both the 100 and 200 meters (with a new school record in the 200) and, as expected, the Tigers performed very well in the longer footraces, culling 31 points from the 800 and 1600 alone. Tenth-grader Brigit Anderson placed third in the 800 race that Walker won, while in the 1600, senior Eliza Lukens-Day triumphed by more than 20 seconds and GFS also picked up fourth and sixth place thanks to junior Alsion Love and senior Isabel Goldstein.
Another rising GFS distance star, freshman Caitlin Harrity, was third in the 3200, and the Tigers placed second in two relays, the 4 x 400 (Anderson/Milbourne/Love/Lukens-Day) and the 4 x 800 (Cece Dye/Arielle Frank/Lucy Guida/Alice Wistar).
In several of the field events, GFS had a golden opportunity to pick up points against the Inter-Ac schools. Their league meet format doesn't include the discus and javelin throws, which are routine events for the Friends Schools League. In addition, the pole vault is not a forte this year for the Inter-Ac teams, and currently SCH doesn't even have a pole vault pit on campus.
Here, GFS senior Eleanor Thompson came up big for her team, producing 18 points by winning the pole vault and taking second in the javelin.
As anticipated, Germantown Academy junior Megan McCloskey won the high jump, while her older sister Kiernan finished fourth there, and second in the triple jump. In addition to Kupsky and Lawlor's exploits on the track, the Patriots pulled 14 points out of the 100 meter hurdles, as senior Fran Sweeney placed second and sophomore Claudia Mezey came in third.
Most of Penn Charter's points were the result of a second-place finish in the 1600 by senior Catie Skinner, and a third-place effort by freshman Willow Tierno in the pole vault.
Although the PC boys were missing Worley, another prime football recruit, Mike McGlinchey (Notre Dame) performed at Hill School and repeated as champion in the shot put. Sophomore Ben Szuhaj won for the Quakers in both the 1600 and 3200, and PC also prevailed in the 4 x 400 relay with James Biggs-Frazier, Sean Joseph, Charlie Hoyt, and Tre Williams, and in the 4 x 800 with Jamir Brown, Hoyt, Williams, and Matt Sullivan.
Individually, Biggs-Frazier won the 100 meter dash, and Charter received third-place finishes from Williams in the 800 and from Scott Mason in the 3200. All three are juniors.
Germantown Friends showed that it's not just a force in distance events by winning the 4 x 100 relay in school-record time with the quartet of Jordan May, Uriah West, Dean Whitaker, and Ahshar Williams. May also won individually in the 400 meters, and West, a fellow senior, was third in the 100. Their classmate Jonathan Bailey was the runner-up in the 300 meter hurdles, also setting a new GFS standard in the process.
A number of fifth-place finishes in various areas helped the Tigers round out their team total. The Friends schools still had their own league championships ahead of them, so some of the top athletes for GFS were not entered in all of their regular events.
For Germantown Academy, the elder Ritz brother may have been out of action, but sophomore Sam Ritz won the 800 meters, and senior Earl Edwards was second in the 100. The Patriots received a one-two finish from their potent pole vault pair, junior Matt Miller and senior Jared Whitman. Freshman Devon Goodman chipped in five meet points by placing fourth in the 110 meter hurdles and sixth in the 300 hurdles.
Springside Chestnut Hill drew half of its team total from the two hurdling events, with senior Jamil Poole coming in third in the 300, and fifth in the 110 meters. Junior Graham Allen finished fourth in the 800 for the Blue Devils.

Celebrity b.s.
William Devane loves only gold. Enter his web of sin.
Crackpot Hollywood has-been William Devane wants me to buy gold as a hedge against impending global collapse. He also loves to run his fingers through piles of gold coins like an evil cartoon king in the treasure room. It's troublesome to think how dangerously gold crazy he might become. I imagine him burying chests of gold in his back yard so Randy Quaid can't get them. All transactions not satisfied in pure gold should expect a hearty "Good day to you sir" from veteran actor William Devane. Maybe he's just acting, I dunno. He sure seems to like gold.

My laptop is out for repair :( so I haven't been able to post as much without being able to upload photos, but I found this old shot of fried green tomatoes that I never got around to posting. I've never actually had green tomatoes - fried or unfried - nor have I seen the movie but I decided to give it a shot. These crispy disks of tart green tomatoes were great with lemon squeezed on top, or even dipped in marinara sauce. I guess I need to go see the movie now! Any recommendations?
Thrifty note
This small rectangular plate is from a local thrift store and I believe is hand painted. It's so blue and pretty, isn't it?

Pennsylvania State University: Disciplining of Professor for Pro-War Remarks
Category: Free Speech
Schools: Pennsylvania State University – University Park
At Pennsylvania State University, one professor's web page advocated vigorous military action as a response to the terrorist attacks of September 11. Penn State's Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, Robert Secor, informed the professor that the comments were "insensitive and perhaps even intimidating." In a letter to President Graham Spanier, FIRE noted that such a message, coming from the chief academic officer, chills free speech and academic freedom "especially when, as at Penn State, "intimidating" expression is grounds for dismissal. President Spanier responded with an unequivocal endorsement of free speech and academic freedom at his institution, but he denied that the Vice Provost's use of the term "intimidating" in any manner chilled the professor's free speech. Spanier assured FIRE that the matter would not be the subject of any disciplinary action.

Selling my 02 Maristar 230
I am selling my 2002 Maristar 230 VRS. This V-Drive boat has a completely rebuilt engine, with all work done by the dealer. Engine has approx. 50 hours on it. This boat is an awesome boat with plenty of power and is also an excellent wakeboard and ski boat. It has the popular and very reliable 330HP fuel injected Indmar LTR engine. You can take up to 13 people in this boat and still tow skiers with plenty of power to spare. Great for skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, hydrofoiling, kiteboarding, or just about any other watersport towing task. This hull is the exact same hull as the X-30 wakeboard boat and can be equipped the same with a tower and fat sacks. It also has the panel to mount the switches. This boat really cuts through the rough water much better than the smaller ski boats. The Interior is in great shape as I have replaced some seats and other leather/vinyl. It also includes a Mastercraft tandem trailer with aluminum sport wheels and fold-away tongue. Trailer has spare tire as well. I also have an extra aluminum 5 spoke rim that matches the trailer rims. Boat has awesome sounding Clarion CMD6 stereo with component speakers, stainless cup holders, new draw-string boat cover, and Johnson bimini top. Bimini and hardware are included, but not yet installed. Floor has a built-in mount for holding a pedestal table. I put a new upgraded X-Star rudder on the boat for better steering (standard on newer 230 Maristars). Fresh oil change with Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic. Also includes a flush valve to run engine on a garden hose and to facilitate winterizing. This newer style Maristar has the triple storage compartments in the rear as opposed to the single lift storage hatch on older Maristars. I used to own a Maristar 210 and the seats got worn from people stepping on cushions when boarding and unboarding. I made a nylon step to replace one of the cushions. This is shown in the interior pictures. I also have the original cushion (re-upholstered too). I had the dealer change the side decals from "Maristar" to "Mastercraft" for a better look. Teak Swim platform is not shown but is also included. This is a reliable boat. I really hate to sell it. Overall, the boat runs great and is in very nice shape. I used the boat only on Candlewood Lake in Connecticut. This beautiful boat is in great condition but is used and does show some normal wear. Boat is sold as-is with no warranty. Boat must be fully paid for, prior to leaving my property. Please do not bid and waste our time unless you have the means of paying and/or financing in order. Please call me at 203 300-0279 if you have any questions, I have just listed the boat locally as well. Price is $24,750 I also have the boat listed on ebay with many more pics. Type in the Search window: "Mastercraft Maristar 230". Thanks and Happy Boating!

Should Cocaine Be Legalized? — Survey of the Day
Marijuana legalization has never been more popular in the United States, with opinion polls consistently finding that about 50 percent of Americans are now in favor of making pot legal.
That sentiment, however, doesn't seem to extend to harder drugs like cocaine.
Rasmussen Reports asked 1,000 adults if they would "favor or oppose legalizing cocaine and regulating it in a similar manner to the way alcohol and tobacco cigarettes are regulated today?" Eight-four percent said they would oppose legalizing cocaine, whereas 11 percent were in favor of legalizing it.
The same sample was also asked if they favor or oppose legalizing and regulating marijuana, with 56 percent giving legal weed the thumbs up.

By Nicholas Huenefeld/Owens Sports Information
Toledo, OH---Emma-Jean Ricketts scored a team-high 18 points as the Express women's basketball team defeated Sinclair Community College 81-61 in the SHAC today.
The Tartan Pride was pressured by the Express defense most of the game and finished with 29 turnovers, which the Express converted into a 41-5 advantage in points off turnovers.
Three players (Eboni Adams, Breonna House and Mackenzie Heacock) swiped a team-high five steals apiece, while two more (Danielle Bezeau and Karahn Scott) had three apiece. Overall, the Express had 23 steals.
Adams had, perhaps, her best game of the season overall as the freshman guard finished with nine points, a season-high 11 assists and two blocks to go along with her five steals.
Another freshman, Jordyn Bond, was second on the team in scoring with 13 points, while she added five rebounds, one assist and one block.
Lianna Innocent, Sinclair's 6'2" freshman center, was vital to Sinclair's success and eventual downfall. She finished with 18 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and one block, and her team struggled offensively without her.
In the first half, the Tartan Pride held a 23-20 lead with 7:37 remaining. However, Innocent picked up her third foul and had to go to the bench. That's when the Express made a run and finished the half on a 29-11 run to take a 49-34 lead into the break.
Scott also finished with 13 points, while adding a team-high seven rebounds (four offensive), one assist and one block. Nine of her points came early in the game before she had to sit most of the half due to foul trouble.
In the second half, Innocent helped pull her team within 51-41 with 17:12 remaining, but Ricketts made a lay-in and a free throw and Scott added a lay-up to give the Express a 56-41 lead. Down the stretch, the Express stretched the lead to as many as 22 in the half.
Heacock added 12 points, three rebounds and two assists, while House finished with 10 points, a team-high seven assists, five steals and four rebounds.
As a team, the Express shot 37-for-82 from the field (45.1 percent), while Sinclair finished 22-for-61 (36.1 percent). Neither team shot well from 3-point range, while Sinclair shot 13-for-20 (65 percent) from the foul line compared to just 3-for-11 (27.3 percent) for the Express.
Ashtyn Payne added 13 points and 13 rebounds for Sinclair, although she committed 10 turnovers, while Ashley Morrow had 11 points. She, too, however committed 10 turnovers.
The game marked the beginning of Ohio Community College Athletic Conference (OCCAC) play. Both games of today's doubleheader were broadcasted live on BCSN.
Ricketts now has 688 career points. She is one point away from tying Sarah Clark (2008-10) for 18th on the career scoring list.
The Express (13-5, 1-0 OCCAC) will travel to Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, OH on Wednesday for a 5:30 p.m. matchup. Sinclair falls to 1-3 overall and 0-1 in the OCCAC.

June 2013
Five SCU Students Receive National Awards for Study Abroad
Five SCU students have received national awards for study abroad.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. June 5, 2013--Five SCU students have received national awards for study abroad.
Fulbright Scholarship:
Glen Bradley, a rising sophomore who intends to major in Business has received a Fulbright Award for the Nottingham Trent Summer Institute in Creativity, Culture, History and Heritage, a four-week program held July 2013 in the UK. This fellowship is awarded by the US-UK Fulbright Commission to approximately fifteen undergraduates nationally and provides for tuition and fees, accommodation, meals, and round trip airfare.
This is the first year that SCU has participated in this Fulbright program for undergraduates and we are delighted to have Glen represent Santa Clara University. Applicants for this highly competitive program must demonstrate a high level of academic achievement with a minimum 3.5 GPA and have at least two years of undergraduate study left to complete. Applications are due in March of each year. For more information: http://www.fulbright.org.uk/fulbright-awards/exchanges-to-the-uk/undergraduates/nottingham-trent-university
Emily Hawley: The Fulbright award will send Hawley to Jordan for a year to advance her Arabic and research democratization efforts. She will spend the first six months in Amman at the prestigious language institute Qasid. For the second half of her stay she will be traveling throughout the country to study how the powerful tribal system has influenced King Abdullah's promised top-down democratic reforms. See more here.
Aven Satre-Meloy will go to Turkey after winning a Fulbright Teaching assistantship. A double major in political science and environmental studies, he will assist English professors at the university level. The Fulbright program's English Teaching Assistantships places English teaching assistants in dozens of countries. Satre-Meloy hopes to use discussions of current events and American news to increase not only his students' language proficiency but also their cultural knowledge of the United States.
Gilman Scholarship:
In addition, two SCU students have been awarded the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship for undergraduate study abroad. Jesse Caemmerer is a rising senior majoring in Political Science and minoring in Asian Studies. Jesse will study in China on the Beijing/Loyola University of Chicago program during fall 2013.

The Gilman Scholarship provides awards to US undergraduate students who are receiving Pell Grant funding to participate in study abroad and aims to diversify the students who study abroad as well as the countries and regions where they go. The Gilman Scholarship Program is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the US Department of State. The Gilman Scholarship Program awards scholarships two times each year.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) is sponsoring two summer day camps for children 12 to 16 years old at the Waddill Outdoor Education Center in Baton Rouge this summer.
The camps will be held from June 25-29 and again from July 23-27. Each camp is completely free of charge and will allow participants to receive their official boater and hunter education certifications.
LDWF will also offer a fish identification class, fishing and canoeing in the ponds at the Waddill Outdoor Education Center, skeet shooting, and other outdoor related classes and activities.
"Last year's first ever summer camp proved so successful that we wanted to do two this year. These camps provide a lot of time for learning classroom material that the children then get a chance to utilize with hands on activities immediately outside later that same day," said LDWF Secretary Robert Barham. "For a week, parents have the chance to let their kids become sportsmen and women in a safe, supervised environment."
The Louisiana Wildlife Agents Association and Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Foundation are providing a daily lunch free of charge for the five-day summer camps. Cabela's in Gonzales also donated rod and reel combo sets for each child that they can take home at the end of the camp.
The camps are open to 25 children per camp who have not completed a boater or hunter education certificate.
To register for the camps, parents must fill out the online application located at www.wlf.louisiana.gov/summerdaycamp2012 [4] by May 25. Parents must fill out a separate application for each child they wish to register and may only register their child for one of the camps.
Since the main goal of these camps is to introduce and teach kids about the outdoors, LDWF will choose the 25 kids for each camp based on the child's lack of experience with fishing, boating and hunting. LDWF will notify parents by either email or phone if their child has been selected for the camps.
"We want to teach children how much fun and exciting it can be by spending time outside enjoying all that Louisiana has to offer," said Secretary Barham. "These camps also get the kids out of the house away from their video games and computers for a week during their summer break. They will catch some fish, paddle canoes and shoot skeet and for some this might be their first time ever doing any of these activities."
Parents with children that have been selected for either camp, must drop off their child at the Waddill Outdoor Education Center located at 4142 North Flannery Rd., Baton Rouge, LA 70814 between 7 and 8 a.m., and then pick their child up between 4 and 5 p.m. each day. Attendance every day of the week is mandatory in order to receive the boating and hunting education certifications.
The boating education course is mandatory for anybody born after Jan. 1, 1984 and proof of completion of the course is necessary to operate a motorboat in excess of 10 horsepower. The course includes information on choosing a boat, classification, hulls, motors, legal requirements and equipment requirements. The course also covers many navigation rules and charts, trailering, sailboats, canoeing, personal watercraft and more. Completion of the course will result in the student being issued a vessel operators certification card.
The hunter education course is mandatory for anyone born on or after Sept. 1, 1969, who plans on purchasing a hunting license. The hunter education curriculum includes sections on ethics and responsibility, wildlife management, firearms and ammunition, safety in the field, wildlife identification and wildlife conservation. The major objectives of the hunter education programs are to reduce the number of hunting accidents, improve the image of hunting through ethical and responsible conduct and promote the shooting sports.

FROM THE FRONT | Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum set to launch
AND THE company is singing from the rooftops about it, using no less superlative a term than milestone.
Why? Because the organization has apparently discovered a new must-have ingredient, from leaf and bark extract of the African Anogeissus tree. Sustainably harvested in Ghana, it's the star ingredient in the Origins Plantscription anti-aging serum.
Origins claims this star ingredient has the same effect on skin as retinoic acid, the vitamin A derivative we've all been going bonkers over in recent years. Apparently, this extract works by stimulating production of a protein that forms the elastic fibers in the skin to strengthen it. By speeding up cell turnover (which is what retinoic acid does), it also helps to ease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Other active ingredients include siegesbeckia, rosemary extract, peptides and vitamin C.
You're supposed to get the benefits of an injection without the side effects after. That said, I've yet to come across a cream or beauty product that lives up to such claims. Injections, for one, are placed much deeper than the surface, where creams are applied and only partially absorbed. Second, to have a prescription-strength OTC product, you usually have to, well, have a prescription. Perhaps this newly discovered ingredient is Origins's secret weapon, though, helping them to circumnavigate the process of getting a cream approved with OTC benefits but without prescription ingredients.
According to Jane Lauder, the general manager of Origins, "Our customers said they wanted anti-aging, but in a natural, healthy way, not through procedures or injections."
Plantscription launches February, 2011, after five years of research and development, testing and clinical trials to back up the product's claims. U.S. Origins stores like Macy's, Dillard's, Bon-Ton and Belk will sell 30-mL vials at $55 retail.

Bogaerts provides glimpse into bright future
NEW YORK -- Once again on Sunday, Xander Bogaerts represented why the Red Sox have such great hopes that he will be the next big thing to come through Fenway Park.
Playing in the 2013 All-Star Futures Game for the second straight season was an honor that Bogaerts didn't take lightly, especially with his mother Sandra, who doesn't enjoy flying, making the trip from Aruba.View Full Game Coverage
NEW YORK -- Once again on Sunday, Xander Bogaerts represented why the Red Sox have such great hopes that he will be the next big thing to come through Fenway Park.
Playing in the 2013 All-Star Futures Game for the second straight season was an honor that Bogaerts didn't take lightly, especially with his mother Sandra, who doesn't enjoy flying, making the trip from Aruba.View Full Game Coverage
But the real exciting thing for Bogaerts, Boston's No. 1 prospect and No. 17 overall prospect, is that his days of merely representing the optimistic future will soon be over, as he figures to be a core member of the Red Sox, perhaps as early as next season.
It was a month ago that Bogaerts was promoted to Triple-A Pawtucket. It is pretty obvious where he will go for his next promotion.
"One phone call away [from the Majors]," said Bogaerts. "It's amazing how life is and fast the year has passed. It's a blessing."
Bogaerts, a shortstop who can do it all, certainly looked like a soon-to-be Major Leaguer on Sunday, belting singles up the middle in his first two at-bats. He completed his 2-for-3 afternoon by grinding out a five-pitch walk in the top of the ninth. Bogaerts batted third for the World squad in a 4-2 loss to Team USA at Citi Field.
He also had a chance to show off his baserunning in the top of the fourth. On a fly ball to left that could be described between medium depth and shallow, Bogaerts tagged from third and roared home, thanks to a nice hook slide.
"Yeah, I saw him [the catcher] go [inside], but I didn't know how far, so once I saw him catch the ball, I just tried to go inside corner and made a beautiful slide," Bogaerts said.
The Red Sox had two other Futures Games participants on Sunday, both of whom played for Team USA. Double-A Portland right-hander Anthony Ranuado (No. 6/100) went two-thirds of an inning, giving up two hits, two runs and two walks. Garin Cecchini (No. 8), who plays with Ranuado at Double-A, went 1-for-2 with a double.
"He just does such a great job of keeping his swing balanced and making solid contact," Ranaudo said of Bogaerts.
The beauty of the 20-year-old Bogaerts is that he refuses to let his dream -- no matter how close it might be to coming a reality -- sidetrack the methods in which he pursues it.
"No, no, no," said Bogaerts. "You start playing bad if you start thinking about that stuff. Leave that to those guys."
By those guys, Bogaerts refers to the people who make decisions for the Red Sox.
There sure seems to be a strong chance that Sunday's Futures Game will mark the last time Bogaerts represents a Minor League team while playing in a Major League stadium.
Though Bogaerts enjoyed his inaugural Futures Game experience last year in Kansas City, he stood out there this time almost feeling like a man who is close to graduating in the world of baseball.
"I'd definitely say I've gotten better, especially better with strike-zone judgment," Bogaerts said. "That's a huge part of the game of baseball. Once you can control that strike zone, you can make better swings and hit the ball better every time. I would say I'm really happy with the way things have gone in the last year."
The second hit Bogaerts had on Sunday was against his former teammate at Portland, Ranaudo.
"I saw him on deck, or when I was warming up, he kind of smiled at me and everything," Ranaudo said. "That was cool. It was fun to pitch against him. He's such a great hitter. He made that obvious. I had him in a 1-2 count and I threw a fastball and kind of ran it back middle in and he did a great job just hitting it back up the middle. You can't do that to such a great hitter like that."
Though it wasn't the type of day Ranaudo was hoping for, just the fact that he was invited to the showcase event was evidence of how far he has come from his struggles of a year ago.
Pitching in nine games for Portland after battling injuries in 2012, Ranaudo went 1-3 with a 6.69 ERA.
This year, still with the Sea Dogs, Ranaudo has been nothing short of dominant, going 8-2 with a 2.67 ERA in 16 starts.
"Last year was pretty much as low as it could get for me," Ranaudo said. "To be able to bounce back and be able to have success this year and then to be named to the Futures Game and the Eastern League All-Star Game was pretty unbelievable for me and pretty satisfying. It's great. Now, I just have to keep it going forward and just keep that momentum going."
While some prospects have a meteoric rise through the farm system, Ranaudo is stronger now that he knows what it's like trying to overcome adversity.
"It's not going to be handed to you," Ranaudo said. "It's a long season, a long career. You just have to learn things about yourself and about your body and what routines work for you and everything like that. I think I developed some good routines and everything and it's rolled right into this year."
Ranaudo had company with him for the drive to New York as Cecchini was a late addition to the Futures Game roster.
The hit machine -- Cecchini is hitting .361 in the 19 games since his promotion to Pawtucket -- did it again Sunday, raking an RBI double to right in the bottom of the eighth, giving Team USA an insurance run.
"No matter what the game is, if it's an exhibition game, Futures Game, GCL [Gulf Coast League] game, you want to win all the games," Cecchini said. "It was good to get a little breathing room right there and I was happy that my teammates got on base for me to get a good pitch to hit."
Perhaps Cecchini was inspired by watching Bogaerts.
"I told [Bogaerts] in the ninth inning, I said: 'I'm trying to keep up with you, man. It's kind of tough.'" said Cecchini. "He smiled and said, 'No man, you're a machine.'"

Wait, what? I didn't pay for front row seats to the Mortal Kombat tournament just to be deprived of bloody entertainment!
At least that's what I imagine is running through the heads of the audience when Scorpion decides to forgo a fatality move. They've been robbed of the awesomely gruesome fatalities known to the fighting game. I would not blame them for feeling shafted.
But what a way worse fate Scorpion has actually unleashed on Sub-Zero. Best case scenario, he could have been a full-time hula-hooper. Or maybe a yoga instructor.

Long laboring in obscurity, independent filmmakers are getting a chance to have their short films seen by a global audience through a new distribution agreement with YouTube. But to do so, they may sacrifice the chance of winning an Oscar.
Kat Candler was delighted to learn on Thanksgiving morning that her film "Black Metal" was among 65 shorts selected for exhibition at the Sundance Film Festival and one of a dozen handpicked by Sundance's curators to be featured on YouTube, the online video site whose worldwide audience exceeds 800 million.
"The life of a short film is at the festivals," said Candler. "So when Sundance asked us this year [to be featured on YouTube], we were like, 'Hell, yeah!'"
Short films at Sundance: In an article in the Jan. 18 Calendar section about short films at the Sundance Film Festival being shown on YouTube, a second mention of the film "Black Metal" referred to it as "Dark Metal."
