Q I haven't heard anything about the "Fab Five" lately. Are they still in existence?
Kent L.
A Nope. The CHP's special five-person traffic team in the South Bay was disbanded a year ago and assigned to different duties.
The anti-speeding unit was formed in 2007, and in its first year crashes, fatalities and deaths fell significantly. And the number of speeding tickets? The Fab Five had a field day, issuing more than 11,000 tickets, or more than double the 4,155 handed out the previous year by the entire 70-plus San Jose division that patrols most Santa Clara County freeways and expressways.
Q When is the construction on The Alameda west of downtown San Jose supposed to be completed?
Sara Razavi
A Next summer, with paving on perhaps San Jose's bumpiest street among the final improvements. The current work is focused on underground jobs such as the sewer system. Starting in a few days there will be construction of median islands between Stockton Avenue and Race Street westbound. One lane in each direction will be closed between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
Q At the corner of The Alameda and Race Street they are eliminating the right-turn lane. I travel that coming off Julian Street, and The Alameda intersection is full of cars and it is very had to get all the way across to the right-turn lane. Now with only two lanes it is going to be very difficult to get across traffic to turn right on Race. I understand the "bulb-outs" and for the most part like them, but the one at The Alameda and Race is wrong.
Bill Goss
A This decision is final. The city has proposed this for many years to provide pedestrian improvements including a median refuge island and bulb-outs to make the crossing shorter. The city thinks traffic impacts will be minimal, since drivers are not supposed to make a right turn onto Race on a red light. That is because, in the process of making that turn, they are crossing a signal-controlled leg of nearby Martin Avenue.
Q Help! Alpine Road has been repaved where it passes under Interstate 280. The roadway is now striped with a bewildering array of green striped areas, hash marks, solid lines and dashed lines. It looks like they are trying to make a bike lane, but how on earth do drivers tell where we can cross this green striped bike lane?
Sue Kayton
Menlo Park
A The striping isn't done yet, so be patient. The bike lanes will get a solid green surface with hatched green areas. The hatched area is the preferred location to cross the bike lane to get to or from 280. Otherwise treat these green lanes as normal no-colored bike lanes, as the rules of the road are the same: Motorists may not drive in the bike lane except to park, to enter or exit a driveway or to prepare for a turn within 200 feet of an intersection.

Those first days and weeks after the double line appears on a pregnancy test can be both incredibly joyful—and totally terrifying. Balancing out the OMG! dance of glee that so many of us do upon learning we're pregnant is the harsh reality that miscarriages occur in about 15 to 20 percent of pregnancies, leading to frantic calls to our ob's and midwives at the slightest sign of spotting or cramping. But, newly pregnant women may be able to rest a bit easier now that British researchers have developed a way to predict which pregnancies will end in miscarriage, reports Jezebel.
Plus: When Spotting Is Normal
The research was presented at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology conference last week in Stockholm by lead researcher Dr. Kaltum Adam. In the study, scientists monitored 112 women with threatened miscarriages (signs of cramping or vaginal bleeding) who were between six and 10 weeks pregnant for five weeks. The women had ultrasounds, charted any pain or bleeding, and had weekly tests of levels of progesterone and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hcG), often referred to as the "pregnancy hormone."
Plus: Can You Prevent a Miscarriage?
Ultimately, the researchers determined that six factors had the greatest impact on the risk of miscarriage: a history of subfertility (lower than normal fertility), progesterone levels, hcG levels, the length of the fetus, how much bleeding had occurred, and the baby's gestational age. Of those, bleeding and hcG levels turned out to be the best predictors of miscarriage risk when used in a "Pregnancy Viability Index" (PVI) that accurately predicted which women would continue their pregnancies in 94% of cases and which would suffer miscarriages in 77% of cases.
Plus: Coping After Miscarriage
"At present we have no way of predicting which threatened miscarriages will result in the end of the pregnancy and so we are unable to target attempts to rescue the pregnancy at the right women or to offer them counseling," Dr. Adam said. "This has led to wasteful and potentially harmful interventions, including unnecessary blood tests, ultrasound scans, hospital admissions for bed rest, sexual abstinence, low dose aspirin and progesterone supplementation." But now, the PVI requires no additional equipment and can help doctors focus resources on high-risk pregnancies and avoid subjecting the majority of women to unnecessary testing and worry.
Plus: Pregnancy After Miscarriage
Did you worry about miscarriage when you were first pregnant? Would a test like this help you to stop panicking?

Scarlett Johansson's sexy Super Bowl ad banned by Fox (with video)
Scarlett Johansson's suggestive slo-mo lip work with her straw wasn't the problem. Rather, the SodaStream commercial was nixed because it takes shots at major advertisers Coke and Pepsi.

Scarlett Johansson's sexy Super Bowl ad for SodaSteam has been banned by Fox, the game's broadcaster.
But it's not because of Johansson's suggestive slo-mo lip work with her straw, or the sultry come-hither looks she flashes. Rather, it's because Fox doesn't like the shots the commercial takes at advertisers Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Daniel Birnbaum, the CEO of SodaStream, claims Fox has refused to run the ad as-is during Super Bowl XLVII this Sunday because the network is "afraid of Coke and Pepsi." In the commercial, Johansson extols the virtues of SodaSteam, a soda machine, and then finishes with the line: "Sorry, Coke and Pepsi."
Coke and Pepsi will both air commercials during the Super Bowl. Additionally, Pepsi is the sponsor of the halftime show.
"What are they afraid of?" Birnbaum told USA Today. "Which advertiser in America doesn't mention a competitor? This is the kind of stuff that happens in China. I'm disappointed as an American."
With no room for negotiation, Birnbaum says SodaStream will excise the offending line from its commercial. "If I could get my money back, I'd be happy to be out of that deal," he said.
SodaStream must be experiencing a sense of déjà vu; its ad last year was also nixed, that time by CBS. The 2013 commercial featured exploding bottles of Coke and Pepsi – both big advertisers on CBS as well. There was no time to rework the commercial so SodaStream ended up pulling that ad, though they did run it online.
Here's a look at the 2013 Super Bowl ad that never ran:

Scientology: How We Help—A Brighter Future for Ghana Children
The Association for Human Rights and Tolerance and the Church of Scientology of Milan opened the third UNITED for Africa school in Ghana April 13, 2013.
Imagine the children of an entire village celebrating because they have a school to attend. Those who live in the remote western Ghana village of Asukese call this the "Magic School" because its dedication on April 13, 2013, seemed impossible—there has never been a school in this village before and no opportunity for village children to gain an education.
The school consists of six classrooms and an office. It was built by UNITED for Africa, a project of the Association for Human Rights and Tolerance of Italy and the Church of Scientology of Milan. UNITED for Africa funded the school, hired local companies and artisans to build it, and purchased all raw materials for the construction and the school supplies and classroom furniture from local merchants. The community was involved in every aspect of the planning and construction. The school truly belongs to them.
Fiorella Cerchiara, president of the Association for Human Rights and Tolerance of Italy, traveled to Ghana in early April 2013 to dedicate the school and plan future projects.
She was joined in cutting the ribbon by local dignitaries including the district director of education, a representative of the district chief executive's office, the assemblyman over the village, the tribal chief of the village of Asukese and surrounding district, and the paramount chief for the entire region.
District Director of Education Daniel K. Adu thanked UNITED For Africa for making the right to education possible in Asukese—a right the children of this village had never experienced until now.
Paramount Chief Nana Alhassan Serebour said he was touched by the care shown by people from a distant land who have made it possible for the village to improve its future.
UNITED for Africa began in 2007 when a Ghana official asked the Association for Human Rights and Tolerance to visit several Ghana villages. For two weeks, Association representatives toured through six locations—five of them extremely poor, inaccessible villages. In each village, they met with the people and asked about their most crucial need. The answer was always the same—education for the children. Asukese is the third school UNITED for Africa has opened in Ghana.
A human rights initiative, UNITED for Africa is creating schools to empower children with the right to education, a right enshrined in article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Each of the children of the village was given copies of What Are Human Rights, a booklet that describes each of the articles of the UDHR in terms youth can easily understand.
Scientologists on five continents engage in collaborative efforts with government agencies and nongovernmental organizations to bring about broad-scale awareness and implementation of the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the world's premier human rights document.
The Church of Scientology published Scientology: How We Help—United for Human Rights, Making Human Rights a Global Reality, to meet requests for more information about the human rights education and awareness initiative the Church supports. To learn more, visit Scientology.org/HumanRights.
Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "Human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream," and the Scientology religion is based on the principles of human rights. The Code of a Scientologist calls on all members of the religion to dedicate themselves "to support true humanitarian endeavors in the fields of human rights."

Chop 1 bulb of garlic. Lightly toast two slices of bread (rye is very tasty). Put one piece of toast in the middle of a piece of aluminum foil. Put a slice of cheese (like Jack, muenster, cheddar) on that piece of toast. Add half of the garlic. Put another slice of cheese over that. Then add the other half of the garlic. Top with another slice of cheese. Now top it all with the other piece of toast. Wrap the whole thing in foil and bake at 375 until the cheese is quite melted (about 15 minutes). You don''''t have to wrap it in foil, that just helps so the toast doesn''''t get too toasted. The garlic should not be cooked all the way. The cheese helps take the bite out of the garlic. This is a lot of cheese, but somehow all that garlic balances it out!

Mom's blog about son's rare illness led to new bookBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Sunday News Correspondent February 02. 2013 10:58PM
Jennifer D'Auteuil enjoys a laugh while her son Drew signs a copy of her book, "Anatomy of a Miracle," during a January appearance at Barnes & Noble in Manchester. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
AMHERST -- As her son Drew battled against a rare disease, Jennifer D'Auteuil struggled to live each day with the fear that her youngest boy might be taken from her at any moment. But now that her son is stable, D'Auteuil is sharing her family's story with others to inspire hope that miracles can happen.
Drew, 14, an eighth-grader at Amherst Middle School, fell ill in July 2009 with aplastic anemia, an extremely rare disease that prevented his body from producing red and white blood cells and platelets, and opened him up to infection, uncontrollable bleeding and other life-threatening conditions.
He went through chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, radiation and other invasive therapies to cure the illness. For months he divided his time between isolation at home, where risk of infection was on everyone's mind, and at Children's Hospital in Boston, where he received treatment.
Throughout his illness, at the urging of friends, Drew's mom, Jennifer, blogged about the experiences her family was enduring.
"I was reluctant to write the blog because it meant that I had to admit he was sick," said Jennifer, a nurse practitioner in pediatric care at Children's Hospital at Dartmouth. "If you read those early blogs, they were very raw, superficial and pragmatic."
But a near-death experience with Drew five months after he received his bone marrow transplant changed Jennifer because it was then that she discovered miracles do happen.
By April 2010, Drew was well on his way to recovery, the bone marrow transplant apparently having taken well. But when he suddenly developed a cough, he was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with pneumonia.
"For the next four hours I watched him decline," said Jennifer. "By morning, he was in complete respiratory failure, and within 24 hours, he was in multi-organ failure."
The next seven days were excruciating as doctors tried every possible solution. At one point, the outcome looked so bleak that the parish priest was called in. Drew was scheduled for a last-ditch surgery, but the night before the surgery, something changed.
"That morning, the surgeon walked in with a smile on his face," Jennifer said.
Over the course of the night, Drew had started to recover. Within 48 hours, he was completely out of danger.
"And we still don't know why," Jennifer said. "It was miraculous."
After that incident, Jennifer said, her blog became her vehicle for coping until one day her father recommended that she take some of what she had written and turn it into a book.
In February 2012, she sat down with her posts and went to work. She managed to pull together "Anatomy of a Miracle" in just three days.
Writing the book was cathartic for Jennifer, providing another outlet to share the story of a miracle and say thank you to God for saving Drew, who is back skiing, playing lacrosse and soccer, and bringing home A's.
But the book also is intended to help others find the support they need when experiencing something as rare as aplastic anemia.
"One night when we were in the hospital, I was Googling and came across a mom in California who was going through the same thing," Jennifer said. "From there, we found another mom and another, and eventually there were nine of us from across the country emailing and Facebooking. They were a lifeline because nobody else knew - nobody else understood what I was going through."
Through her website, www.anatomyofamiracle.com, Jennifer brings people together who need support.
"I feel compelled to give back," she said. "My ambition is to do as much as I can to help people who are facing this."

I've heard that yellow lights are timed at 3.2 seconds before turning red. Can you validate this? Also, why do they choose that interval?
— Mona C., via email
Mona, you're close. While yellow light intervals will vary (sometimes by the decisecond) from stoplight to stoplight, most yellow lights are set at about three seconds for left-turn arrows and about four seconds for all through lanes on streets with a speed limit of 35 mph or less.
These time intervals, which never seem quite long enough, are based on guidelines set by the Oregon Department of Transportation, the Institute of Transportation Engineers and the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
The speed limit, the size of the intersection, the driver perception-reaction time, the deceleration rate and more factor into the equation.
"At 35 mph, you're moving 51 feet per second; and in three seconds, you can go 150 feet, which is well beyond the majority of the intersections in Medford," said Alex Georgevitch, Medford's transportation manager.
Some big, complex intersections — for example, the one at Riverside Avenue and Crater Lake Highway (aka "the Big X," as it is commonly referred to by engineers) — and intersections with the (in)famous red-light cameras have a slightly longer clearance time. The yellow light at "the Big X" also is followed by an all-red second to protect drivers from the gun-it-at-the-last-second types.
Georgevitch said questions about yellow lights are often raised after someone receives a ticket for running a red light.
Mona, although we hardly suspect that you are such a person, we want to remind you and other readers that the yellow light provides enough time to safely exit the intersection or come to a complete stop but is not a grace period for drivers running late.
Send questions to "Since You Asked," Mail Tribune Newsroom, P.O. Box 1108, Medford, OR 97501 or by email to email@example.com.
Yellow light time is careful equation

Books and other guides sell themselves from the cover inward so I was surprised that Excellent Books had given an otherwise contemporary guide with such an uninspiring and antiquated cover design. People do judge books by their covers.
That would be a mistake with this one because get past the cover though and you'll find a portable, no batteries required, virus free guide to the entire Sustrans National Cycle Network and National Byway also covering sections of the National trails where bikes are permitted. There's essential information such as traffic volumes and planned future development and in all a total of 16,500 clearly sign posted miles for all abilities.
Redemption is courtesy of clearly printed colour maps detailing the network and cyclist specific points of interest including the Youth Hostel Network for those on a budget or just looking to enjoy the company of like minded stragers. National rail network and its myriad of stations are clearly plotted throughout which frees less experienced cyclists from feeling car dependant in order to enjoy rides further afield.
While slipping unobtrusively into the bar bag or pannier, scale lends it best to pre-ride overview and planning with GPS or specific regional guides making better navigation tools. Minor niggles aside at £8.95 it represents excellent value for money and a great companion to the bookshelves of novice and seasoned riders alike.
Dated cover design hides a decent route mapping tool for all abilities – every cyclist should have one

Make and model: Excellent Books UK Cycle Route Planner
Size tested: n/a
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
It is a comprehensive route map covering the entire Sustrans,National Byway and areas of the National trail (or at least the sections where bikes are permitted.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
A handlebar sized full colour route map-easiy slips into a pannier for reference but too large for the map holder. Laminated cover spares contets from sticky chocolate bars, energy drinks, coffee etc
Longevity shouldn't be a problem so long as you store carefully and out of the rain.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Frankly, it's very easy to follow, nice to plan by and just the right size for coffee table reference yet still folds small enough to slip into a pannier for later consultation. Stick to route guides/maps or GPS for riding by.

About Angela Bulloch
Angela Bulloch's sculptures and installations unite elements of architecture, industrial design, new media, and viewer interaction. She is best known for her "pixel boxes," infinitely programmable illuminated boxes containing three fluorescent tubes capable of creating all 16 million colors of a standard computer screen. In her pixel boxes, Bulloch combines individual cubes into modular systems, as in Z-Point (2001), comprising 48 stacked boxes that create a looped abstraction of the explosion scene from Michelangelo Antonioni's 1970 film Zabriskie Point. Other pixel boxes and sound installations explore the effects of environmental stimulus by incorporating variations that are activated by the viewer, such as in The Laughing Crowd Sound Piece (1990) where walking through a room triggers canned laughter.

That was when her daughter – apprentice jockey Anna Roberts – was scarily unseated after her mount Kelly'spremonition clipped heels with a rival approaching the stretch.
"Once I saw she was all right I caught a ride back in the truck, retrieved my camera and came back to the unsaddling area," said Roberts. "Eric (Halstrom, Fair Grounds vice president and general manager) was there, Austin (Miller, Fair Grounds president) was there, and a whole bunch of the track crew all asking me how she was doing and I assured them she was going to be all right.
"Of course Lou (Hodges, longtime Fair Grounds head track photographer and Roberts' employer) was obviously very concerned and was very relieved as well," said Roberts.
"Then we all went and looked at the replay and saw that other horse (the subsequently disqualified Diamante de Oro) beginning to bolt and that caused Anna's horse to clip heels," said Roberts. "There wasn't a lot anybody could do. James (Graham, jockey aboard Diamante de Oro) came up to me and put his arms around me, and he must have apologized five times, but after watching the replay we could tell it wasn't his fault. He was doing everything he could to keep his horse from bolting. What made Anna mad was that she felt she was sitting on a winner before she went down.
"Chris McCarron (retired Hall of Fame jockey who founded the North American Riding Academy that started Anna on her career) called from Santa Anita where he was working the Breeders' Cup to ask about her, and of course we really appreciated that," Roberts said.
"Lou's daughter Elizabeth, who is not a jockey but rides English style, was taken to the hospital yesterday after a spill and Lou got the word on that during the races. Fortunately, she's going to be all right as well and was released later in the day," Roberts said.
"Then, in the last race of the day Anna's mount (Ipilee) took a bad step leaving the gate and she got dumped again," Roberts said. "So now, of course, we've had to listen to a lot of jokes about super glue and seat belts.
"All in all, you could say it was an interesting day in the Fair Grounds photography department," Roberts concluded.
Introducing Apprentice Jockey Jansen Melancon at Fair Grounds
Apprentice jockey Jansen Melancon may look familiar to longtime Fair Grounds guests despite the fact that this is his first season riding at the Crescent City oval. That's because he has the same profile as his more famous father, jockey Gerard Melancon – currently riding at Delta Downs but a longtime local reinsman with approximately 3,500 winners to his credit.
Jansen Melancon, 21, born in Lafayette, Louisiana, rode bulls competitively before graduating from high school and credits that experience with helping him feel more relaxed on the back of horse.
The youngster also rode Quarter Horses through the conclusion of the summer meeting at Delta Downs, began riding Thoroughbreds the following week at Evangeline Downs and quickly posted two longshot winners at that oval.
At the present time, the elder Melancon remains at Delta Downs while his son gets his Fair Grounds career under way.

It was cold Monday morning, so I had to warm up my little car before heading down the river road to La Farge. A half-mile from the house, I noticed something white and fuzzy down in the ditch. I pulled over and got out for a closer look. Sure enough, it was a small animal curled up in a ball and covered with frost.
As I bent down, the face of a little blue-eyed kitten peered up from under a frost-covered tail. He barely moved when I picked him up, and I noticed a scrape on his chin, probably from where he hit the hard, frozen snow when someone threw him out the window of their moving car. I really don't know how the kitten ended up in the ditch in the middle of nowhere at 15 degrees below zero, but human (ir)responsibility was, unfortunately, the first thing that came to mind.
Anyway, I wrapped him up in a towel and put him on the seat next to me in front of the heater vent. He was in bad shape, so I decided to get him to someone who could care for him. I took the kitten to three different places, including the sheriff's office, but no one would take him. The Humane Society was closed, but someone suggested I call a local, grassroots cat-care called Tabby Town.
A lady answered and when I explained the situation, she didn't hesitate. "Bring the poor little guy over. I'll take care of him," she said. I thought, this kind woman was an angel from heaven. I left knowing the little frosty kitty may have a future after all.
I find it sad that there isn't a place in our society where all the sick, injured and wayward animals, wild and domestic, can find care. There are far too few people with the compassion or time it takes to care for these animals without any public compensation. It's a constant battle, trying to get funding that is never enough. Wildlife rehabilitators give their hearts, souls—and their own money—to save imperiled birds and animals. It's time for our politicians to accept this very important challenge to help animals in need. Every one of us should be willing to show our concern for these helpless animals, and encourage our leaders to create public funding. Nothing but good could ever come of it, and the more good deeds in our lives, the better we will be for it. It's time for all of us to set an example for future generations, and provide a little compassion for animals in need of help.
The snow that is still on the ground has frozen hard as a rock and the deer can walk on top of it without breaking through. There still seems to be enough food for them, but it will grow more scarce with each passing day. For now, it's fun to watch a deer as she slowly walks along nibbling here and there at a clump of dry grass or the seed heads of weeds. She might even stand on her hind legs to reach a few cedar berries or a dried apple. A south-facing alfalfa field has become a favorite evening gathering place for deer. One night I counted 41 deer grazing where the snow had melted, exposing something green to eat.
When it's cold, the woodpeckers are busy searching the tree trunks and branches for insects under the loose bark. The pretty male red-bellied woodpecker is busy all day eating weed seeds, sumac berries and birdseed from the feeder.
I like to scatter some sunflower seeds and cracked corn over the frozen snow for the birds that prefer to feed on the ground. These include juncos, sparrows and mourning doves. Ground-feeding also helps to keep the blue jays busy and away from the bird feeders. I really enjoy seeing a few doves in winter. Seven of them come for a free handout each day.
I can always tell when there is a Cooper's Hawk in the yard, because of the way the other birds act when one is around. When all the birds suddenly fly for cover, I always look to see if I can spot a hawk. I was lucky today when I spotted a little adult male Cooper's Hawk perched on the brush pile where the birds had taken cover. He couldn't get to the little birds, so he thought he would just sit there and wait for them to come out.
After about five minutes, he gave up and quickly flew off through the woods and the little birds reappeared. It's always a special treat to get a good look at a Cooper's Hawk, and even better when I can get a few pictures of one. They come and go so quickly I rarely get to see them, let alone get a picture. The male I saw today was in full adult plumage, with a beautiful blush-colored breast and rich dark red eyes.
Saturday morning there was an Asian Lady Beetle trying to climb up out of the sink. I placed a drop of water in front of her and she seemed eager to get a drink, which may be why she was there in the first place.
The snow came down in flakes as big as silver dollars Sunday morning, but it lasted only a few minutes. The snow turned to light rain and sleet during the night, and left a hard crust on the ground that was difficult to walk on. You never know what to expect from the weather in January, and it will be interesting to see what February has in store for us!
Naturally yours,

Approximately 30,000 adult pheasants will be released on lands open to public hunting for the upcoming fall pheasant-hunting season, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced today. The pheasant-hunting season begins on Oct. 1 in northern and eastern portions of New York; Oct. 19 in central and western portions; and Nov. 1 on Long Island.
For the seventh consecutive year, junior hunters (12-15 years old) have the opportunity to hunt pheasants the weekend prior to the regular pheasant-hunting season. In Western New York, the youth pheasant hunt weekend is Oct. 12-13. In northern and eastern New York, the youth pheasant hunt weekend is Sept. 28-29. On Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk counties), it is Oct. 26-27. Pheasants will be released on a number of selected release sites across the state to provide ample hunting opportunities for junior hunters.
All current pheasant-hunting rules and regulations remain in effect during the youth hunt. A 2012-13 hunting license is required to hunt during September, and a 2013-14 license is required starting Oct. 1.
All release sites for pheasants provided by state-funded programs are open to public hunting. Pheasants will be released on state-owned lands prior to and during the fall hunting season, and, thanks to a partnership with New York City Department of Environmental Protection, at a number of sites on New York City Watershed lands. Pheasant-hunting opportunities have also been augmented by private landowners who have opened their land to public hunting. A list of statewide pheasant release sites and sites receiving birds for the youth-only pheasant hunt weekends can be found on DEC's website.
The day-old pheasant chick program provides additional opportunities for pheasant hunters. This program was developed in the early 1900s to provide day-old pheasant chicks to cooperating 4-H groups and sportsmen and sportswomen. The chicks are distributed to program participants in May and June, and cooperators incur all costs associated with rearing the birds, including feed, water, utilities and facility construction. The birds are raised to adulthood and released on lands open to public hunting before the season opens. This year, more than 41,000 pheasant chicks were distributed statewide as part of this program.
Anyone interested in raising and releasing pheasants to expand next year's hunting opportunities should contact DEC's Reynolds Game Farm at 607-273-2768.
Boundaries for pheasant-hunting zones conform to Wildlife Management Units used for management of other upland wildlife. Wildlife Management Unit boundary descriptions can be found on the DEC website. In addition to knowing these unit boundary descriptions, hunters should review the 2013-14 New York Hunting & Trapping Guide for complete regulations and other important information before going afield. Hunters who plan to use private lands should ask permission from the landowner.
Gov. Cuomo's "NY Open for Hunting and Fishing" initiative is an effort to improve recreational activities for in-state and out-of-state sportsmen and sportswomen and to boost tourism opportunities throughout the state. This initiative includes the streamlining of hunting and fishing licensing and reducing license fees, improved access for fishing at various sites across the state, and increasing hunting opportunities in various regions.

When our family thinks of Great Wolf Lodge we think of it as a place to visit in the Fall or Winter (we have visited during both). But this year our children convinced us that it might be a fun place to visit in the summer too.
I must admit that peeking through the waterpark doors during the cold days of winter, did tease my curiosity as to what it would be like to swim outside and be at the Great Wolf Lodge.
So this summer we decided to test it out. We booked a room and the countdown began. The countdown was just as fun in the summer as the winter, so I had a feeling the visit would be, too!
We packed up our van and our family of five headed to Great Wolf Lodge, Pocono Mountains. After checking in, I guess you probably know the first place we went to- the outdoor pool! My five year old daughter could not wait to take her first slide on the mini frog slide. She had waved to that froggy since she was two years old from indoors, so none of us were surprised when she gave it a big hug and kiss before sliding!
My sons went right for the basketball zone and although the inside was calling them to slide, slide, slide, something about the sunshine and the scent of the yummy burgers being barbecued and the sight of frozen drinks passing by from the Racoon Lagoon that kept them right where they were.
My family liked it so much that they are ready to trade in our regular August getaway for an extra night's stay in August before the summer sun tucks itself away. That, of course, is still being decided upon, but is looking more probable the more we talk about all the fun we had this summer at Great Wolf Lodge Poconos!

PITTSBURGH (AP) Pittsburgh coach Paul Chryst has hired NFL veteran John Settle as the program's running backs coach.
Settle spent four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons from 1987-90 and went to the 1988 Pro Bowl after running for 1,024 yards and seven touchdowns.
The 48-year-old Settle got into coaching in 1994 and worked alongside Chryst as assistants at Wisconsin from 2006-10. Settle served as running backs coach for the NFL's Carolina Panthers in 2011-12 and filled the same capacity for the Cleveland Browns last fall.

Oz cloud outfit wins angel backers
Baxter and Bell take on the cloud
Australia's burgeoning cloud investment has had another top-up with OrionVM getting angel dollars from two technology heavyweights. PIPE networks co-founder Stephen Baxter and micro-computing architect Gordon Bell have tipped in an undisclosed investment in the company and will providing mentoring guidance.
Founded by a group of university students in early 2010, OrionVM launched its enterprise grade cloud platform in April which it touts as the world's fastest network backed storage performance.
OrionVM managing director, Sheng Yeo, said the biggest gain in getting the calibre of Baxter and Bell on board was, "not just money but the vast breadth of knowledge and experience Bell and Baxter bring to the company in establishing this next generation of computing —we call the cloud."
Bell the former head of R&D at Digital Equipment Corp, is a resident of Sydney and San Francisco and will help the company bolster its international plans. Baxter offers the company invaluable experience in the running of a large and rapidly expanding tech business, in addition to listing, raising capital and selling assets. The funds will allow OrionVM to double staff, triple CloudDC customer usage and explore an international presence.
OrionVM services several hundred customers ranging from ASX listed companies to small startups including Wikia.com, Quotify.com.au (owned by Sensis), Getflight.com.au and DesignCrowd. ®

BOSTON (AP) — Lillian Bonner Sutson, a little-known civil rights activist whose attempts to register as a voter in South Carolina set a precedent in the fight against segregation and voting discrimination in the South, has died in Massachusetts, her family announced Wednesday.
Sutson died of age-related causes Monday at a nursing home in Saugus. She was believed to be 99, said her grandson, Marcus Jones.
In 1940, Sutson, the granddaughter of a slave, went with her mother and two other African-American women to register as Democrats in Gaffney, S.C. They were denied, threatened and verbally abused, sparking a federal criminal case. Thurgood Marshall served as their attorney in the case during which the women endured death threats that sometimes warranted FBI protection.
They lost, but Marshall eventually used the experience in civil rights lawsuits that ultimately helped strike down voter discrimination and segregation.
Her efforts were cited in a letter from First Lady Michelle Obama shortly before the president's second inaugural, Jones said.
"Your example of service shows ... that each of us can make a difference for those around us," Obama wrote, according to Jones.
Two years earlier, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, the state's first black elected governor, paid tribute to Sutson, who lived there the last 50 years of her life.
"Your act of courage was uniquely American and uniquely human, a voice of reason rising above the din of ignorance and intolerance," Patrick said. "Like so many others who are humbled by your acts of heroism, I am grateful for your sacrifices. Your bravery made countless opportunities come alive for future generations."
Sutson's feisty spirit was highlighted in 2011 when she fought off an assailant who attacked and robbed her at her home in Lynn. Sutson managed to stab the intruder in the thigh during the struggle and screamed for help as he fled.
She suffered head lacerations that required 14 stitches to close. A suspect was eventually arrested in the case.
Sutson was alert and competent up to the last days, Jones said.
"We just wanted others to appreciate the legacy that she left behind," he said.
A wake was scheduled for Friday in Lynn, and a service was planned for Tuesday in Gaffney. Sutson's remains will be sent there for burial.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Giants have added depth to an aging offensive line, drafting Justin Pugh of Syracuse with the 19th pick in the NFL draft.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Giants have added depth to an aging offensive line, drafting Justin Pugh of Syracuse with the 19th pick in the NFL draft.
While the Giants biggest need heading into the draft was defense, Pugh is a versatile lineman who can play both guard and tackle. New York needs help at both spots with right tackle David Diehl coming off a sub-par season.
Pugh skipped his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft. A three-time All-Big East selection, he missed the first four games last season recovering from shoulder surgery.
The Giants, who were coming off a Super Bowl win in February 2012, missed the playoffs with a 9-7 record last season.
Earlier on, other NFL teams bought in bulk in Thursday night's draft.
Unlike the last few glam-and-glitter years when bumper crops of quarterbacks reigned, this was pure brawn: more than 600 pounds at the outset with offensive tackles Eric Fisher of Central Michigan and Luke Joeckel of Texas A&M.
The first seven picks were all linemen: four on offense, three on defense.
Not until Florida State's EJ Manuel went to Buffalo at No. 16 was a quarterback taken — the lowest since 2000, when Chad Pennington went 18th to the Jets.
Fisher became the first Mid-American Conference player selected at the top when Kansas City's new regime led by coach Andy Reid chose the 6-foot-7, 306-pound offensive tackle.
"This is so surreal," Fisher said. "I'm ready to get to work right now. I'm ready to start playing some football. I can't process what's going on right now."
Fisher was followed by All-American Joeckel going to Jacksonville, defensive end Dion Jordan of Oregon to Miami, which traded up with Oakland, and Oklahoma tackle Lane Johnson to Philadelphia. Not a skill position player yet in sight — a stark change from the last four drafts, when quarterbacks went first.
The procession of linemen continued with BYU defensive end Ziggy Ansah, born in Ghana, going to Detroit; LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo to Cleveland; and North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper to Arizona.
"That's a lot of love for the big boys up front, which we usually don't get," Fisher said.
That made for a ton of beef after the first seven picks.
They wore it well, with their designer suits that barely were ruffled when they each engulfed Roger Goodell in the now traditional bear hugs between draftee and commissioner.
"It's called a three-piece, right?" asked Joeckel, who sported blue checks with the vested suit, along with a striped tie.
Fisher was only the third offensive tackle picked No. 1, joining Orlando Pace (1997) and Jake Long (2008) since the 1970 merger of the NFL and AFL. It's also the first time since 1970 offensive tackles went 1-2.
Even without a high-profile passer, runner or tackler going at the outset, the fans in the home of the Rockettes were pumped. They chanted "U-S-A, U-S-A" when Goodell paid tribute to the first responders at the Boston Marathon bombings and to the victims of the West, Texas explosion.
They roared when Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath began the countdown to the first outdoor Super Bowl in a cold-weather site by taking the podium and screaming: "New York; Super Bowl 48."

Ensuring the safety and security of your business
If we've learned anything in the past seven years, it's that we're vulnerable to natural and man-made disasters. Attacks on the World Trade Center, catastrophic hurricanes, and other tragic events have cost us dearly—but they've also served as a wake-up call for government and industry. As we move to a more and more paperless business, our historical data—as well as all of our daily operations—are resident on computers and storage drives, most of which are located on our own premises. How well would your business survive if something were to happen that would unexpectedly wipe out all of your data?
Remote backup
Most of us have experienced the pain of a hard-drive failure, but few have experienced complete data loss. One emerging, inexpensive service can help prevent a total loss of business-critical data: remote backup via Amazon Web Services (http://aws.amazon.com). Amazon has figured out that they not only have excess capacity in their vast data centers, but they also can le-verage their own IT resources to create an entirely new revenue channel by selling these services and capabilities.
This concept is the basis for a very good and green idea: server virtualization. It allows companies to radically reduce or eliminate the numbers of servers they run within their own companies, as well as the dedicated and hosted servers they have located in numerous data centers everywhere. In California, one very large utility (Pacific Gas and Electric) estimates the electrical load reduction possible in data centers by virtualizing server farms can be as much as 96% of the current usage—a number that's hugely significant in today's energy-starved economy. It accounts not only for a reduction in electrical usage, but also a corresponding reduction in the carbon footprint associated with that usage.
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) provides a simple Web-services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the Web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data-storage infrastructure that Amazon.com uses to run its own global network of Websites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers and end users.

Re^2: Standard Perl Modules ~ Overkillby tye (Sage)
|on Apr 19, 2004 at 19:25 UTC ( #346421=note: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
Very rarely do modules fail to install.
Not true on my planet. I'm astonished at how often even simple modules fail to install (for me and for others). I'm staggered at how much effort and code has gone into addressing the installation of modules -- and yet most resulting systems that I've tried fail about as often as they succeed and even the most reliable (perl Makefile.PL + make) fails all too often. And I'm astounded at how quite a few complex modules can be nearly impossible to install.
Maybe your view on this is because you've been blessed with exceptionally "vanilla" systems (just a wild guess).
I avoid non-standard Perl modules much of the time, in part because even when I can get a module to install, I very often find that it is unsuitable. There's lots of great stuff on CPAN and even more good, useful stuff on CPAN, and tons more stuff further down that end of the quality scale.
A total refusal to use modules is an all-too-common situation and I find it unacceptable. But I often avoid non-standard modules and I appreciate it when others realize there is a price for using a non-standard module and that sometimes the benefit doesn't out-weight that price. Perhaps you've already downloaded and installed the module (and maybe didn't have any problems doing that) and have read the documentation and figured out its quirks and found that it works well the way you use it and remember enough, but for a non-standard module, most people will still have all of those hoops to jump through.
My initial reaction to the root node was about the same as mirod's. And it still is.
But I also now realize that I wish more people would pay attention to the 'cost' of using a module (especially a non-standard module or a module that won't work on slightly-old Perl versions). There are still plenty of cases where the cost/benefit is a no-brainer in favor of using the module (for me, sending e-mail from Perl would be such a case). And I consider "no modules" to be an unreasonable stance.
But, "just do use Date::Module; ConvertRoutine(...)" sure looks easy, and probably is really easy for the person who writes it. But I usually find that it isn't very easy. Perhaps because I must be convinced that it really does solve my problem before I'll use it, and one test doesn't convince me.
So let's have some balance on the scale of "use modules".
*shrug* All I really wanted to say was the first sentence. (:

Manchester man wanted for Maine credit union robbery
SANFORD, Maine - Police are asking for the public's help in locating a Manchester, NH man wanted for robbing the York County Federal Credit Union.
About 1:40 p.m. Thursday, a man entered the 870 Main St. credit union, told a teller he was armed and demanded cash. The teller gave the robber an undisclosed amount of cash and he ran out of the credit union with it.
A witness provided police with information about a vehicle seen speeding away from the scene. Investigators located that vehicle in Manchester and impounded it. The investigation ultimately led to Justin Brady, 23, of Manchester, who is now wanted for the robbery.
Sanford police, in a news release, said they spoke on the telephone with Brady, who became despondent and abruptly ended the call He is believed to be in the Manchester area and local law enforcement officers are searching for him.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Manchester police at 603-792-0219 or Sanford police at 207-324-9170 ext. 262.

Police investigating Rochester accident that damaged gravestonesBy John Quinn, Union Leader Correspondent
February 02. 2014 10:36PM
ROCHESTER – Several gravestones were knocked over or shattered after a vehicle drove off Franklin Street Sunday evening.
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded around 6:05 p.m. after an eastbound Chevrolet Colorado, driven by Robert Rivard, 47, of Rochester, left the road and drove into the Franklin Street Cemetery.
"Neither speed, nor alcohol appears to be factors in the crash. The accident remains under investigation," according to police.
While Rivard was wearing a seatbelt and airbags deployed, he was sent to Frisbie Memorial Hospital for apparent non-life threatening injuries, according to police.
The Chevy sustained extensive front-end damage and was towed.

Printers are essential to any space, from school, homes, offices and most especially to enterprise level companies and high grade printing facilities. Canon is one brand people trust because of its efficiency and of course great variety of products for various types of printing needs. Sometimes your life hangs on an efficient printer for projects, corporate information, releases and high grade image printing. Having Canon printer problems would be a nightmare and so what do we do to fix the most common problems that we usually encounter?
- The first thing you have to do when you have a new printer is to make sure that the printer driver matches the Canon printer itself. Otherwise, there will be a lot of errors that you will encounter and so you might want to purge the documents first and reset your printer until all the unnecessary conditions are removed. This is essential to have a smooth printing process with your Canon printers.
- Printer paper issues- what you can do is to restart your computer, then restart your printer and start making a test page to know if the printer is well calibrated for your purposes. If you have a paper jam, Canon printers would usually have a button designated to release a jammed paper but if it does not work, open your device and guide the printer and the paper gently. Do not tug too much as it may damage the device.
Look at your guide for proper paper feeding. Canon printers have marks and designated alignments to know the right position of your paper for the size of the paper. You can fed the paper on the tray but sometimes, there are printers like the Dot matrix that can be fed like a typewriter style and so you have to know the settings that you need in order to minimize printer jamming.
- Always make sure that the printer ink is always at good levels because when you print with printer inks that are clogged and almost empty, the quality of printing especially for photos and colored projects are going to suffer. Check your Canon printer ink levels every now and then. Use only high quality Canon ink for better printer performance.
- Cleaning your Canon print head is essential to prevent your document from having the unnecessary smears and dirt that could ruin your project or important document.
- Another Canon printer problem is when the printer is not responding, if that is the case, check if your connections are placed well and verify if your cables are on the right spots. Sometimes it may be the printer itself that has a problem.
Canon Printer problems can be avoided by following the right printing procedures, making sure that the printer ink levels are right, the printer facility is clean and at the right temperature, and your paper is positioned well. Also check your connections and drivers to ensure that you save on precious paper and ink as well as minimize hassles and Canon printer problems.

John Green's novel "The Fault in Our Stars" was a huge bestseller, so it's no surprise that a film adaptation is coming to movie screens. The film is scheduled for a June release; its first official trailer was posted online today.
In the book, Hazel meets Gus in a cancer support group for teens. The film stars Shailene Woodley as Hazel and Ansel Elgort as Gus, with Laura Dern and Willem Dafoe. As the trailer begins, Hazel says, "I believe we have a choice in this world about how to tell sad stories." And the clips that follow show how "The Fault in Our Stars" will be told on film.
Anyone who follows Green's tumblr has been seeing news of the film as it's gone through development and production. But as he writes, this is "The full #tfios trailer in beautiful high definition!"
[For the Record, 4:21p.m. PST Jan. 29: An earlier version of this post misspelled Willem Dafoe's name as "Defoe."]

Gotta be a poe. Good money in that, probably.
You've fallen victim to blindly thinking that since you think someone shares your faith, that means that they would never lead you astray. This can make you look very foolish. As a former Christian, I know how hard it is to accept that fellow Christians don't always tell the truth, but unfortunately that can be shown to be the case repeatedly.
.....I notice very little diversity and poor independence. If someone posits that mankind came from a banana peel there is very little resistance to the notion. The whole "group think" is obvious and leads to unwise crowds.....

Emma Roberts engaged to Evan Peters?
Los Angeles, Jan 7 (IANS) Actress Emma Roberts is reportedly engaged to her actor-boyfriend Evan Peters. She was spotted wearing her ring over the weekend.

She was detained by police following the incident, but was released hours later after Peters refused to press charges.

Sandro Pinha
International Arabian Horseman
We are citizens of the world, regardless of where we were born. Each of us is able to create our life from the talents and gifts with which we are blessed, but it is up to us to do the work and to take the risks if we want to reap life's rewards. Sandro Pinha is a perfect example of this philosophy.
Sandro was born in Campinas, Brazil, a small agricultural town about one and a half hours, or 80 miles north of Sao Paulo. Campinas is known by many as the home of Haras Capim Fino, the Arabian horse farm of Brazilian breeder, Paulo Levy. Sandro's father worked at the farm which allowed Sandro the opportunity of growing around the world class Arabian horses that lived there. Sandro started working with the horses of Haras Capim Fino when he was just 12 years old. He loved the work - he had a natural talent that quickly developed with his daily interaction with the horses. Sandro began assisting with the training of the Hara Capim Fino horses when he was 15 years. Before long he was showing horses throughout Brazil - including the very competitive Brazilian National Championships.
Over the years that Sandro spent presenting the horses of Haras Capim Fino, both in the show ring and to farm visitors, he was silently watching, taking mental notes, and learning all about the Arabian industry. It was during that time that Sandro met and became acquainted with David Boggs. A longtime friend of Paulo Levy, as well as a frequent visitor to the farm, David has trained his eye to see potential - everywhere. He saw Sandro's talent and gift for working with the horses and encouraged him in many ways.
In 1998 Sandro left his home and family and moved to Minnesota where he joined athe team at Midwest Training Centre. Over the next seven years Sandro showed horses throughout North and South America, Europe, and Africa where he won numerous national and international championships.
One area that Sandro had spent considerable time was warm and sunny, Scottsdale, Arizona. He loved it there - the thriving Arabian horse community, the pleasant climate, the fast pace of the city - it seemed like the perfect place for a young, motivated, and dedicated horseman like Sandro. In 2005 he made the decision and he move to Scottsdale.
Dixie and Bob North, of North Arabians in Ramona, California - and guardian of the leading living legend Padrons Psyche - had worked with Sandro when he first came to the United States. They had seen his skills and talent in action, and they were impressed. In 2006 the Norths offered Sandro a position at their newly opened International Training Center located in Scottsdale. Sandro joined Dixie and Bob, as well as his long time friend and associate, and fellow Brazilian horseman, Rodolfo Guzzo. Sandro gives a lot of credit to Rodolfo for getting him started the right way. According to Sandro, when he was just 14 years old, Rodolfo was the person who first taught him how to stand up a halter horse. Now all these years later, the two friends are reunited.
International Training Center offers a comprehensive list of services to their clients. Among Sandro's many responsibilities at the center are equine evaluation for showing and breeding, training and showing halter horses of all ages, coaching amateur owners, stallion management, and marketing. Perhaps the most highly motivating factor for opening International Training Center was the location - Scottsdale. This allows Sandro, Rodolfo, and the Norths the opportunity to optimize their marketing and promotional efforts during the "Scottsdale Season". Although Sandro admits that his days are full during the season, his nonstop schedule continues throughout the year attending shows and events around the world.
International Training Center may be located in Scottsdale, Arizona, but Sandro's focus extends far beyond the city limits. Through the sales of world class Arabian horses to more than a dozen countries including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Columbia, Dubai, Jordan, Mexico, South Africa, Uruguay, and of course the United States - Sandro has helped to make ITC a truly global enterprise. With clients ranging from stay-at-home moms, to successful business professionals, to members of Royalty, Sandro's greatest satisfaction comes from selecting just the right horse to fulfill his client's individual goals - he enjoys helping to make their dreams come true.
When asked the question, "Sandro, can you believe the life you are living?" He paused and then quietly replied, "No, I really can't. I was born in a small village in Brazil. I grew up on a farm there. I left my home and family to come to the United States. Now, here I am working at one of the top Arabian horse farms. I get to travel and meet people from all around the world - it's really more than I could ever have imagined - and it's all because of the Arabian horse."

A Cow Mourning For Her Calf
Oft at some consecrated altar-side,
Where fragrant incense burns, a calf lies slain,
And from his breast breathes out the warm life-tide:
But the lone mother, o'er the grassy land
Far ranging, sees his cloven hoof-prints plain,
And leaves with roving eyes no spot unscanned
For her lost young, and fills with lowings wild
The shady wood; then tireless turns again
To the bare stall, sore stricken for her child.
Naught can the dewy grass, or tender leaf,
Or brimming river-bank, once fondly known,
Avail to bannish that o'er-mastering grief;
Nor by the sight of other calves, upgrown
In the fair fields, is her sad heart beguiled:
So deeply yearns she for her one, her own.
Lucretius, De Rerum Natura, II, 352-366
