Quinnipiac sweeps with rout of St. Lawrence

e-mail this article

CANTON — With another Saturday loss in ECAC Hockey play, this proved to be another lost weekend for the St. Lawrence hockey team.

Jeremy Langlois scored two goals as Quinnipiac tallied the game’s first six goals en route to recording a 6-2 rout of the Saints before a crowd of 1,474 at Appleton Arena.

After 16th-ranked St. Lawrence (5-3-2, 0-2-2) was “outworked” again, team captain Kyle Flanagan didn’t offer any excuses after the team held a meeting following the game.

“We said in the locker room after the game that we have to stop learning lessons the hard way,” Flanagan said. “We can’t keep having weekends like this and keep saying that we’ll learn from them. We’ve got to adjust and we’ve really got to fix this.”

The Saints, who tied Princeton 3-3 on Friday, skated away with just a point for second consecutive weekend.

“We sat there in the room and talked as a team about how we’re going to get better,” Flanagan said. “Coach Carvel has given us more than we need in terms of preparation, but then we go out there and don’t execute — so it’s all on us right now.”

Conversely, Quinnipiac (7-3-1, 4-0-0), which defeated Clarkson 5-2 on Friday, completed its first sweep in the north country in four seasons.

“We were completely outclassed tonight,” St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel said. “That’s a good hockey team over there, they’re the best we’ve played. They’re big, well-coached and have good skill. They really didn’t give us anything.”

While the Bobcats took the initiative early and went on to score two goals in each period, the Saints generated a season-low nine shots on goal. Those included only five shots through the first 40 minutes, including only two in the first period.

“You’ve got to give them credit, they outplayed us,” Flanagan said. “But nine shots aren’t going to win you a game. It was a poor effort by us in the first period, and we came out and played better in the second and third, but we can’t wait to turn it on. It’s our barn and we’ve got to play better.”

“In the first period our effort was not what it should be,” Carvel said. “They frustrated us with the way that they play.”

Despite scoring twice on the power play later in the game, the Saints’ special teams play again let the team down.

A night after scoring only one power-play goal from eight chances, St. Lawrence went scoreless on its first three man advantages while the game was still a two-goal margin and allowed a season-high three power-play goals to Quinnipiac.

“I thought our penalty kill did real well,” said Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold, whose team won against the Saints for the first time in five games. “They’ve got one of the best power plays in the country, and in the first and second period, we shut them down. That was big for us.”

The Bobcats methodically seized the advantage by scoring two goals in each period, including two scores within a span of one minute, 26 seconds in the opening period.

After Alex Barron redirected a Cory Hibbeler drive over Weninger five minutes into the game, Langlois snapped a one-timer past the goalie at 6:26.

Matt Weninger kept it a two-goal game by denying Russell Goodman’s one-timer bid in front with 3:15 left in the period.

The onslaught continued in the middle period as after Weninger made a stop on Dan Federico, Goodman tucked the puck behind the goaltender at 14:48 with five seconds remaining in a Bobcat power play.

Connor Jones followed by scoring on a rebound at 17:37 to stake Quinnipiac to a 4-0 lead.

The Bobcats boosted their lead to 6-0 on power-play goals from Langlois and Zack Currie while Gunnar Hughes was serving a five-minute penalty for boarding.

St. Lawrence showed some signs of life by breaking through with two scores later in the final period as Greg Carey scored on the power play and Flanagan followed with a tally.

The Saints will travel and spend Thanksgiving in Boston before a weekend of nonconference play at Northeastern on Friday and at Boston University on Saturday.

“As coach right now, I’m not concerned about standings,” Carvel said, “I’m concerned about our level of play. Like last weekend, I think we deserved to win Friday night, but we didn’t tonight. We’ve got to find ways to get those points.”

nNOTES: Quinnipiac had gone 0-3-1 in its past four meetings with St. Lawrence. ... The Bobcats improved to 6-10-3 all time against the Saints. ... St. Lawrence, which entered Friday allowing an average of 1.87 goals a game, allowed nine goals over the weekend. ... The Saints’ next conference game is at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 5 against rival Clarkson.

Lewis DSS commissioner interviews set for Friday

print this article
e-mail this article

LOWVILLE — Lewis County legislators are set to interview four candidates for commissioner of social services today.

The group will include Commissioner Stacy L. Alvord, whose five-year term expires in the fall, according to legislative Social Services Committee Chairman William J. Burke, R-West Lowville.

Mr. Burke on Monday asked as many lawmakers as possible to participate in the interviews.

The committee chose to advertise for the position, as it did five years ago, then readvertised after Mrs. Alvord was the only one of four initial applicants to meet Civil Service requirements.

Lowville resident Carmen A. Sweet, at a meeting a couple of weeks ago, urged legislators to reappoint Mrs. Alvord, commending her for handling a large case load increase without added staff.

In 2008, lawmakers chose not to reappoint then-Commissioner Penny A. LaBarge for a second term and hired Mrs. Alvord instead.

My self-summary
My life has changed dramatically recently, and I now find myself with the time, desire, and means to explore more of California, America, and the world. In the meantime, when I'm alone, you'll find me busy improving my home or with my hobby. But I would gladly set that aside to spend time with a friend or partner.

Sharing plans, dreams, experiences, endeavors, conversations, observations, or just silly playfulness with a partner who is respectful of themselves and other humans would be the best part of my life. The most satisfying conversations I have are with people who are introspective, observant of their surroundings, and are willing to listen to, consider, and provide, other points of view. Open and honest conversation is the cornerstone of any relationship, and can make for some of the most meaningful moments of life. When you share your stories, jokes, perceptions, and concerns with me, I want you to feel that I'm your best friend. However, people who talk constantly and do very little listening are a big turn-off to me. I've had enough of that in my life. I like the simplicity of taking only one relationship at a time, and have no unresolved feelings or issues about relationships of the past. Nor do I have any lingering connection to them.

I don't exude confidence in the way that most women find attractive, but internally I'm confident that my attitude allows me to learn, adapt, and be respectful of nature, people, and other animals. My self-esteem comes from being honest, fair, and communicative; not from posturing. Lies are soon revealed anyway and then you're just left with distrust - and where is the value in that? You'll see that I'm friendly, but not particularly outgoing. I prefer one-on-one conversation.

My interests are many, and I'm comfortable talking about almost anything. I may run out of things to say about women's shoes before you do, but if it's an interest of yours, I don't mind learning something. Even just learning what you like is valuable to me.

I love short and long drives, and farther away airplane trips. The High Sierra, Death Valley, Lake Powell, Hawaii, New Zealand, and the Yucatan Peninsula are my favorite places to be (so far), but I can get enthused about many potential destinations close to home and around the world. I have a strong affinity for boats and playing in warm water. I love water sports, including wake-boarding, water-skiing, tubing, lake kayaking (I have 2 kayaks, if that helps :-), and others. I will snorkel and scuba dive in warm water only. I've already been in enough cold water to satisfy me. If you like snowboarding, camping, hiking, and even backpacking, that's a big plus. Not really into guns, fishing, surfing, horse riding, motorcycles, or spectator sports involving balls, but I'd love to play tennis with you. I don't need to be in motion all the time to be happy. I can sit in a field of grass overlooking scenery and reflect on the nature of life and the universe with equal satisfaction. Quiet nights at home watching movies or TV are nice, too. I will gladly accompany you to a play. I think they can be quite magical.

As odd as it may be, I've never tried a cigarette, alcohol, or any other type of drug, and never will. I like the freedom of being addiction-free. I also don't drink coffee for the same reason, but if you do, not to worry. I just won't be joining you and you'll have to get your own. Same with an occasional wine at dinner. I'd be glad to take you on trips to the wine country, though. It's just that I'll be more interested in the agriculture, cheese, and building architecture. Smoking, drugs, and a love of alcohol are absolute deal-breakers.

At this point in my life, and with all the unwholesome influences in the world today, I'd rather not be raising children. But I enjoy being around kids that are well-behaved, and admire parents who don't let their children run the show.

I'm not an environmental activist by any means, but I try to act with respect for resources and their conservation. I prefer to fix things rather than throw them away, and have repaired everything from digital cameras to tractors. Energy conservation around the house is always on my mind, and it's not because I can't pay the bills. When there are so many of us trying to live on the same planet, it just makes sense not to waste.

The domestic animals in my life include outdoor felines (for rodent control) and outdoor camelids. I also like dogs as long as their barking is controlled and they're not aggressive, but I don't have any at the moment. The wild animals in my life are varied and plentiful, even though I don't feed them. I like all animals except the ones that would like to dine on me, or that are determined to destroy my property.

So, here's the worst news: My hair is not what it used to be. It's now very thin on top and there is a bald spot. For many that will be a deal-breaker, and I completely understand. I may have it fixed soon, but for now it's a fact. At least I don't have any tattoos, and hope you don't, either.

What I'd like to find here is an honest, intelligent, moderately active person to share old and new interests with, hopefully turning into a long-term relationship. She'll have a curiosity about the world beyond smartphones, and enough intelligence to express herself with meaningful words rather than profanity. She'll feel responsible for what she says and does, and will not be allergic to the words "thank you" and "sorry." Her profile story is not blank because she expects that I won't start a conversation if I don't have reason to believe we're compatible. Her pictures will be clear and recent, and include at least one full-length shot, because she would want the same from me. She might drink a little wine on occasion, but never enough to be impaired, and won't pressure me to drink with her. The newest cars are of little importance to her, and she's a safe, sane driver. As a couple, we look at the broader picture before deciding the best course of action; not just our individual selfish desires. We yield to each other's wishes in a roughly even proportion when they are at odds. We understand that other people have their own viewpoints and empathize as much as possible without suffering the rantings of the ignorant. We know that there is still much to learn about life and the world we all share, so we're humble more often than self-righteous. If you might be a good match for me, I hope you've said enough in your own profile for me to figure that out.
What I’m doing with my life
Part of the recent change in my life means that I don't need to work a regular job. This leaves me free to concentrate on improving my rural home, spending time with my boat hobby, and taking time off to travel whenever I want. I also spend some time in the search for a female counterpart who would enhance my life with a close mental connection and expand the list of attractive travel destinations.
I’m really good at
Fixing things
Articulating what I feel
Reasoning through a situation
The first things people usually notice about me
Of the few who say anything, I suppose it would be intelligent conversation. That doesn't mean I'm a know-it-all or a genius, though. I just recognize that my perspective is not the only one.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I read boating and world news magazines regularly. My books are mostly about home improvement. I don't read fiction, although I used to read science-fiction as a kid.

I’m easily entertained and enjoy almost all types of movies except horror films; but if they make you happy I would watch even those with you and let you dig your fingernails into my arm; but don't be surprised if I scream like a little girl if you do that (which could add to the ambiance). My favorite movies would be adventure, science-fiction, comedies (romantic and otherwise), and most documentaries. Action movies are fine, as long as the action is not constant violence. I'm not fascinated with gore. In my opinion, frequent profanity will ruin an otherwise worthy movie. I appreciate anything with thoughtful dialogue that’s not common and predictable.

I don’t watch television during the day, but I often do at night during and after dinner. Sorry, but I have no interest in ball games. Half of what I watch are PBS history, travel, science, animal, and world news shows. The other half is network reality shows like The Amazing Race (I would love to do that!) and Dancing With The Stars (I like to watch OTHER people doing that), plus ABC's higher-quality comedies and The Big Bang Theory.

Alas, you would have a hard time getting me to dance or sing, but I do love music. I feel it in my head and heart, but it just doesn't work itself out to the rest of my body in any way that a sober person would want to see. I always thought that if I were to learn dancing, it would be some form of ballroom, but don't hold your breath. My usual choice in music is rock and pop from the '70s and ‘80s, but there's a lot I like between the '50s and today. I also like smooth jazz (not random, discordant jazz), some alternative, some country, some hip-hop, and some classical; but never rap, heavy metal, or any sort of screaming.

I've recenty become much more aware of the importance of a healthy diet, so I've been choosing more fresh fruits and vegetables and very few processed or frozen foods. I still eat some meats - mostly fish and chicken. I avoid significant quantities of salt and processed sugar. Even so, I have a hard time saying no to chocolate.
The six things I could never do without
A Car
A Boat
Everything else is frosting.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
My hobby
Planning my next trip
On a typical Friday night I am
. . . sleeping, just like all the other nights.;-)
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I never post anything private on the internet.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 42–57
  • Near me
  • Who are single
  • For long-term dating
You should message me if
. . . what I've written resonates with you.

Photo Showcase – 7 Honeymoons with a difference

After the vows are spoken, rings exchanged and the wedding celebrations come to an end, its time to jet off somewhere far flung and exotic with your new spouse. If you don’t fancy yourselves as fly and flop honeymooners, why not add some culture and adventure to your first trip as newly weds (although that isn’t to say a few days of sun, sand and sea aren’t allowed either!). This week’s photo showcase features seven fantastic options for a honeymoon with a difference, whether its taking in the temples, caves and tea plantations of Sri Lanka before hopping over to the Maldives for some beach time, crossing a third of the world on board the luxurious Golden Eagle Express or embarking on an action-packed safari in Tanzania and relaxing on the beaches of Zanzibar, the choice is yours!

What would be your ideal honeymoon with a difference?

1. Sri Lanka & the Maldives

The Indian Ocean is synonymous with crystal clear waters and palm-fringed stretches of soft white sand, making it the perfect place to escape after your wedding day. Spend four days discovering the cultural delights of Sri Lanka before flying south to the azure waters, beautiful beaches and colourful coral reefs of the Maldives for four blissful days of relaxation.

2. Golden Eagle Express

What better way to start married life than by traversing a third of the world with your partner for life. Hop on board the Golden Eagle Express and travel in unprecedented luxury on an exclusive 15 day rail journey from Moscow to Vladivostok. Relax in your private cabin, dine in its world-class restaurants, socialize at the bar and make stops at ports of call en route.

3. Tanzania Safari & Beach

With just the right amount of adventure, romance and luxury, Tanzania offers honeymooners something slightly different. Kick off your marriage with an action-packed safari in the Serengeti before heading off to Zanzibar. Enjoy six days of rest and relaxation on the white sand beaches of this Spice Island, soaking up the sun or opting for a spot of snorkelling.

4. Creme de la Croatia

Set sail with your spouse on a luxurious eight day island cruise along Croatia’s picturesque coastline, taking in charming towns, sandy beaches, secluded bays and lush natural wilderness en route. While away the days relaxing on deck, swimming in the warm waters of the Adriatic Sea and exploring ports of call and by night enjoy the first-class facilities of your deluxe boat.

5. Waterfalls Wine & Wilderness

It takes two to tango in Buenos Aires, so grab your partner and jet off to beautiful Argentina for an unforgettable 14 day honeymoon. Taking in the charming capital city, thundering falls of Iguazu, alluring wine route of Mendoza and incredible landscapes of the Lake District, what more could you ask for?

6. Taj Showcase

Your honeymoon is perhaps one of the few times in your life when you can really spoil yourself, so why not take full advantage and indulge in a lavish holiday in India. Explore the highlights of the Golden Triangle over 9 days while staying in the lap of luxury at some of the world’s best hotels – the definition of luxury and India at its absolute finest!

7. Cairo Cruise & Coast

Why not combine culture and beach on your first trip together as a married couple? Discover the wonders of ancient Egypt and cruise the Nile on board a luxurious vessel before capping off your honeymoon with some time by the beach in Hurghada on a memorable 13 day tour.

Ischgl in the Paznaun region of Tyrol lives and breathes superlatives. In winter, an exceptional programme of sports and unrivalled entertainment form the perfect blend. The town of Ischgl with its 1,500 inhabitants is a perfect winter sports paradise and offers entertainment around the clock. It has been awarded numerous national and international media awards. The service at the Silvretta Arena is improved every year  to ensure that skiing in Ischgl is a truly top-notch experience. The Top of the Mountain concerts featuring global stars are held in the middle of the ski piste and offer unique entertainment while gourmet huts offer avant-garde architecture and exclusive ski gastronomy. Meanwhile, the Playstation® Ischgl Snowpark is the ideal place for younger visitors to put their skills to the test. Ischgl is a perfect ski resort and the largest continuous resort in Tyrol and offers modern facilities and guaranteed snow until the start of May. More than 238 km of pistes and 43 lifts at the Silvretta Arena run up to 3,000 m altitude and down to the Swiss tax haven of Samnaun. You can also explore the ski resort and its pistes from the comfort of your own home using Google Street View. Ischgl is truly unique as a ski resort with entertainment value: with its après-ski atmosphere at the local pubs along the Ischgl Promenade, shopping boutiques and restaurants akin to those found in large cities, smoking lounges and big discos, there are plenty of activities to suit all tastes here after a busy day of skiing. Events such as the snow sculpture competition with international artists, the legendary ‘Sterne Cup’ chefs’ cup and the Gastronomy World Championships are fixed events on the Ischgl events calendar, in addition to the Top of the Mountain concerts. The winter season in Ischgl starts with the Festival Opening Week on 23. November 2012. The Highlight of this week is the Top of the Mountain Opening Concert on 1. December 2012. The season ends with the legendary Top of the Mountain Concert on 30. April 2012. The “Volkswagen Mountain Move Week” 01.-07.04.2013 is a further Highlight in the winter season of Ischgl.

New in Ischgl: attractive expansion of the restaurants Höllboden and Alp Trida Sattel

This summer the Höllboden restaurant on the mountain is being re-styled. There will be a new entrance with two escalators, alterations in the restaurant, new toilets and a smart new bar with smoking corner.With the new facade of glass, wood and the local stone – called Vider –  the restaurant will have a stylish new look.

During this summer the Panorama restaurant at Alp Trida Sattel is being re-developed. The restaurant (which has self-service and table service) and the toilets are being renovated and will include disabled facilities.

A new service restaurant with large terraces (facing south and west) is being added. This restaurant will also be available for special occasions, for example for weddings and seminars. In addition, on the west side, there will be an attractive split-level bar, for non-smokers and smokers. The building is being thermally reconstructed and will use solar energy.

The winter sports enthusiasts will also find in this winter a fascinating white blanket of snow. The Silvrettaseilbahn AG and the mountain railways Samnaun AG again invested heavily in the expansion of artificial snow.

Free skiing experience in the Silvretta Arena

From the end of November to the start of May, the Silvretta Arena guarantees the ideal winter sport conditions for snow-seekers and party-goers which extend far beyond the local borders: with the joint ski pass for Ischgl, Austria and the Samnaun tax haven in Switzerland, the Silvretta Arena offers a high-altitude winter sports paradise with guaranteed snow, extending over 238 km of pistes. These include 45 km of black, 127 km of red and 38 km of blue pistes. 43 comfortable lifts and mountain railways transport winter sports fans up to a high altitude.

Some 900 snow canons and lances are in use in Ischgl. This creates the perfect conditions and guarantees ideal winter sports facilities from the very first day of the season. This includes the ‘eleven’, one of the sporting highlights of Ischgl: the 11 km long descent runs from the Greitspitz at 2,900 m down into the valley at 1,400 m. For those who prefer an off-piste and free-styling adventure, there are 12 km of ski routes and numerous types of descents to explore covered with deep untouched snow.

PlayStation® Vita Ischgl Snowpark

The PlayStation® Vita Ischgl Snowpark is one of the longest continuous terrain parks in the Alps. Covering a park area of 160,000 m, making it an XXL snow park, this is one of the biggest in Europe. Here there are no fewer than 66 jumps including 30 rookie, 24 public and 12 professional jumps. The longest pro line is around 2 km and incorporates 19 hits. The public line includes 21 hits at 1,750 m. Particularly spectacular is the large air cushion behind the last kicker on the Idalp. Here, you can practise new tricks and jumps in complete safety and with no risk of falling.

Hotels, gastronomy and nightlife

The famous Ischgl ski huts, restaurants and sun terraces offer a relaxed atmosphere from cosy and relaxed to action-packed with a party atmosphere. The exclusive Restaurant Alpenhaus on the Idalpe, the futuristic Salaas at the Greitspitzbahn valley station and the Restaurant Padorama impress with their elegant, avant-garde Alpine architecture: a sun terrace and recliners before a mountain backdrop outside, a stylish restaurant and ski bar inside. The popular après-ski scene and trendy bars are in no way inferior to the sophisticated lifestyle, comfort and service on offer in the ski resort. The famous clubs too are all about enjoying life, entertainment and quality après-ski offers. Ischgl’s motto of ‘Relax. If you can...!’ is a real challenge here!

Full review

I have to say I really enjoyed my times spent at Liberty. If youre like me and like to spend as much time riding your flex ticket will allow, definitely go during the week or evening sessions on the weekend. I really like Liberty on a morning mid week session - the snow was always groomed and with the place being less crowded - a good time to be more aggressive on the runs. The layout of the resort rocks. they have the lessons and beginners to the left of the frontside of the mountain and snow tubing on the extended far right. The jib park is dead center of the front face. Unfortunately no pipe - but lots of rails and jumps to keep you occupied. the longest trail was a green run called dipsy doodle. all though im an intermediate snowboarder, this easy run is fun, and as mentioned the longest run at liberty. there is a stretch of flat that if you didnt generate enough speed to coast about 200 yards - youre walking until the next drop. en short - a nice cool run to warm u up for the backside of the mountain.
the lifts at liberty suck suck suck. seriously suck - i can understand at the beginners side the lifts to be set at this slower speed to help newbies build skill and confidence on/off the lift. but the other lifts to the blue and black, double black runs - c'mon, speed it up a little please. especially when it gets crowded beyond the comfortable number - my girlfriend and i waited in line late afternoon on a saturday for 25 minutes just to get on the lift - now add the slow speed of the lift to get to the top of the mountain - in total almost 40 minutes of our 4 hour flex to ride one short run. not cool. there were staff members handing out 1 hour extend stickers to appease everyone - but what if someone was new and didnt know there were such stickers? or if someone had to leave at a specific time - they would feel cheated. i wish liberty would stagger how many people can buy flex passes per hour (like big bear and mt high) and speed up the grandma lifts. this would alleviate some of the congestion and cool some of the tempers of the skiers and boarders angrily waiting in line.
another issue with liberty (**note: it happens at the other resorts but more so at liberty) all these snowboarders just sitting in the middle of the runs!!! why?!?!? im a boarder and i hate how these snowboarders just sit in everyone's way without a care. i board at big bear and mt high where the ratio is almost 60/40 boarders to skiers on many days and the "sitting in the way" problem is far less of an issue over there with 5x as many boarders compared to liberty. can some teach these dudes to just pull to the side or is this beyond their mental ability to think? please liberty, if these comments mean anything to you - fix this problem.
the lodge is nice and toasty and always busy - a nice fire roaring in the common area where you can purchase hot drinks and food. the prices are steep - so a family trip is definitely going to add up. we suggest filling a cooler and brown bag it. we did find it difficult to find a place to sit indoors or outdoors during the high traffic times saturday afternoon. but at night the irish pub was cool (again overpriced) at least they sold alcohol so the bar area was festive and spirity. we weren't there for the nightlife but judging from what we saw - there wasn't any.
again - a nice beginner mountain - but unless some of these concerns (read the other reviews - we kinda all say the same thing) aren't considered or liberty can't find ways to remedy these issues - many of us will just graduate from this resort and head to whitetail or roundtop or wisp.

Report: Meat Producers Ignore Pleas For Health, Environmental Reform

NPR | Oct. 24, 2013 7:41 a.m.

Five years ago, a landmark report excoriated the animal agriculture industry’s practices and laid out a roadmap for how it could do better. But in the years since, the problems are just as bad — and maybe even worse.

That’s the conclusion of the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future. This week, the center scolded the industry again with a review of how it has fared in the years since the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production released its original report.

“From a regulatory, or legislative, standpoint, we have actually regressed on many of these issues in the last five years,” says Bob Martin, who served as executive director of the original Pew commission, which included policymakers and scientists. Martin is now a program director at the Center for a Livable Future.

Though the Pew commission is not a foodie household name, its 2008 report has subtly shaped many consumers’ view of how our food animals are produced. It’s not the rosy view — it’s the highly critical one.

Back then, the commission identified the most worrisome systemic problems of producing 9.8 billion food animals every year in the U.S. It called out the animal agriculture industry for the excessive use of medically important antibiotics, particularly the industry’s habit of giving animals low doses for non-therapeutic uses like growth promotion.

It also hammered the conventional system of handling of liquid waste from huge animal operations, and standard industry practices of confining animals in gestation crates and battery cages. And it called for enforcement of anti-trust laws to restrict the concentration of the industry into a handful of companies that would have inordinate sway over the marketplace.

This year, the Center for a Livable Future set about to examine the impact of the original Pew report. The findings, released Tuesday, largely denounce the industry and the government agencies responsible for regulating them for not heeding the 2008 recommendations.

Martin says that while some companies have made strides in improving animal welfare, the overall trend is that the health, environmental and economic problems are getting worse.

Specifically, he says, the industry has failed to eliminate the non-therapeutic use of antibiotics — though the the Food and Drug Administration has restricted the use of some specific drugs and set voluntary guidelines.

On the animal waste issue, Martin adds, the Environmental Protection Agency has not followed through with its promise to do a full inventory of waste practices and enact higher waste storage and disposal standards at concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs, that the commission had recommended.

The meat industry, meanwhile, argues that it has made significant progress in improving its health and environmental impacts. The Animal Agriculture Alliance, a trade group representing various livestock interests, put out its own counter-report on Monday heralding advances in animal care, responsible antibiotics use, food safety, environmental sustainability and industry research initiatives.

The pork industry also seemed peeved at being called intransigent by the commission. In a statement, the president of the National Pork Producers Council called the Pew report “wrong in every aspect.”

The Hopkins research center, meanwhile, says the industry has resisted reform by lobbying hard against stricter regulatory requirements.

“I think that the power of the industrial animal agriculture sector is almost overwhelming,” says Martin. “These are very powerful private companies that give large campaign contributions and can influence legislators.”

The government agencies responsible for policing the cattle, poultry and swine industries on health, the environment and conglomerations have thus been hampered in cracking down, he says.

“The solution to the system being dysfunctional is not to keep putting a Band-Aid on it,” says Martin. But the newest report notes that economic strains on the industry do not bode well for reform.

Police Nab Robbery Suspect

Medford Mail Tribune | April 30, 2013 2:21 p.m. | Updated: April 30, 2013 9:21 p.m.

Contributed By:

Mail Tribune

Joe David Campos put together a primer Monday on how not to get away with robbery in Medford, police say.

First, he picked a bank just five blocks from the Medford Police Department, police said. Then he wore a loud and easily identifiable orange T-shirt into the Key Bank branch on East Main Street and allegedly demanded cash.

Then he fled on a black bicycle, stopping at a nearby market for cigarettes and hard lemonade, authorities said.

Police said when they spied and detained Campos, he was just eight blocks away riding his black bicycle down the middle of the street — and still wearing that orange shirt so bright it looked like it took AA batteries.

“You need one of these easy ones once in a while,” Medford police Chief Tim George said. “It was a slow change-up and we hit it out of the park. That’s gotta help our batting average.”

It also helped Campos swap that T-shirt with a more muted orange jumpsuit courtesy of the Jackson County Jail, where he was lodged Monday afternoon on a third-degree robbery charge and $15,000 bail.

It’s a jumpsuit Campos, 39, of White City, has worn before.

Court records show he had a string of robbery and drug convictions in Jackson County during the early and mid-1990s before a criminal-court hiatus for some time afterwards. Most recently, he was arrested in February on charges of strangulation and assault and in March on a contempt-of-court charge, records show. Both cases remain open.

On Monday shortly before 1:20 p.m., Campos allegedly parked his bike near the bank’s Front Street entrance, walked in and stood in line until a teller was available, police said.

When he approached a teller, he did not appear to be armed but he aggressively demanded money to a point where tellers believed he might jump over the counter, police said.

The teller gave him an undisclosed amount of cash and he fled the bank, police said.

“That’s about the only thing he accomplished right,” Medford police Lt. Mike Budreau said.

Bank employees were able to give police a good description of the robber and his direction of flight — two key tools for hunting down fleeing robbers, George said.

An officer spotted Campos pedaling east on East 12th Street near Riverside Avenue and detained him three blocks away at the intersection of 10th and Cottage streets, police said.

A quick print of a surveillance camera was rushed to officers, and the suspect and Campos appeared to be exact matches, Budreau said.

“That shirt was really identifiable,” Budreau said.

Officers recovered all the stolen money except what Campos allegedly used to buy a Mike’s hard lemonade, cigarettes and a water from a nearby market during his getaway, Budreau said.

“We’re not sure what his plan was,” Budreau said. “If you don’t have a good getaway plan, you’ll get caught.”

Most bank robbers don’t get caught at the scene but are identified and found later, Budreau said.

That Key Bank branch was last robbed in 2009, Budreau said.

Last year, Medford police solved six of their eight bank robberies and with Campos’ help, police say they have an arrest tied to each of the city’s three bank robberies so far in 2013.

“I wouldn’t say he’s the brightest guy to rob a bank in Medford, that’s for sure,” Budreau said.

But, among Medford’s recent alleged bank robbers, he did have the brightest shirt.

After Weeks of Delay, Senate Small Biz Jobs Bill in Jeopardy

April 20, 2011 - by Donny Shaw

The Senate began debating legislation to reauthorize and extend the the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and the Small Business Technical Transfer (STTR), two of the federal government’s largest research and development programs, on March 10. More than a month later, the Senate is still not finished with the bill. That’s slow even by Senate standards, especially considering that we’re in the middle of a jobs crisis and it’s about as close to a “jobs bill” as we’ve seen recently.

So what’s the problem?

Well, for one thing, the “gentleman’s agreement” between Majority Leader Harry Reid [D, NV] and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell [R, KY] has backfired on Reid. It made it possible for senators to load the bill up with hundreds of amendments, some germane, most not, and force votes on them. So far, the Senate has spent weeks debating and voting on amendments to eliminate unemployment insurance for billionaires, suspend EPA regulations of greenhouse gases, and consolidate duplicative government programs. None of this has anything to do with the R&D programs the bill is supposed to be about., but Reid agreed to allow any senator to file any amendment as part of the gentleman’s agreement in exchange for the Republicans not filibustering everything, so this is what has happened. And by the way, the Republicans filibustered this bill anyways, forcing a few days of delay and a cloture vote on beginning debate of the bill even though the cloture motion ended up being approved an overwhelming 84-12.

There’s also a legitimate policy issue that has popped up and is now threatening to make the whole amendment/cloture slog for naught. Sen. Olympia Snowe [R, ME] has submitted her Small Business Regulatory Freedom Act as an amendment and is trying to force a vote on it. It’s likely that Republicans and conservative Democrats could round up the 60 votes to pass it if it comes to a vote. The problem is that Reid is vehemently opposed to it and is threatening to pull the whole underlying bill from the floor if it is added. Politico reports:

Snowe, the ranking member of the Small Business Committee, said she had an agreement with the majority leader to have an equal number of amendments from each party included in the consideration of the legislation. When Reid came to the floor Thursday night to close out the business of this work period, he offered six Democratic amendments and four Republican ones.

Snowe objected, insisting that the Senate consider her amendment to require reviews of effects of new regulatory reform laws on small businesses.

Reid was having none of it.

“I’m terribly disappointed that the senator from Maine, a former chairman of this committee, recognizing the importance of this legislation, is going to cause this legislation to fail,” Reid said, noting that the Senate might not have time to revisit the bill that has been on the floor for four weeks.

“If that is what my friend wants on her legislative conscience, that’s fine.” Reid added. “Someone who understands this legislation as well as she does, it’s wrong to stand in the way of completing it.”

Snowe’s legislation would create new barriers for federal regulators by forcing them to conduct detailed and complex cost-benefit analyses of their proposed rules’ direct and indirect impact on small businesses. It would also set up a judicial review process for small businesses to challenge regulations and require agencies to periodically review existing rules and sunset any that do not pass a strict examination.

The regulatory policy experts at OMB Watch don’t think Snowe’s legislation is actually about helping small businesses:

While she is couching it as a bill to ease requirements on small businesses, the bill’s actual intent is to saddle agencies with so much extra analytical baggage that they can no longer set public health and welfare standards in a timely way. It would benefit big businesses more than small, particularly the dangerous minority of businesses always looking for new ways to skirt pollution standards, workplace safety standards, consumer protection laws, and a host of other protections.

Reid hasn’t outlined his objections to Snowe’s amendment, but it’s probably along the lines of what OMB Watch is saying. The debate will be continued on May 3 when the Senate comes back from recess. If Snowe objects to the Reid motion, it looks like the whole bill will be dead.

If you read the bottom of my Corwall blog post you will see I just used Kosmos to display name:kw.

I'm sure I once saw a welsh/celtic map, though I have no idea where this was.

Honestly baja, if we wanted to read every sport article from the denverpost, wouldn't we just go there to read it instead of coming to orange mane to read your repost? Why do you do this every day? Makes no sense at all.

They do that quite a bit to fans of the comic. Like the not-rape scene with Maggie was pretty tense because in the comic he raped Michonne. There are also funny little homages they do to the comic.

I will say the Dixon brothers are one of the best things about the show and they obviously aren't comic characters at all.

He wasn't shot at an angle or at a distance as if he was trying to move away.

Yes. It was Zimmerman.

If the trial is just - he does walk. He shouldn't be on trial to begin with. The state caved into media-driven mobs threatening riots.
The trial will be just, even if found guilty.

Chapter 2: Ordinariness

To live a life of no problems is to live an enlightened life. It is a totally different way of being: it has nothing to do with achievement, it has nothing to do with learning, it has nothing to do with effort, practice. The only thing that is needed is to be a little more alert so that you can look at, see, watch that which is in front of you. The solution is closer, very very much closer to you than you can imagine. Don’t seek it far away; it exists within you. Once you are settled inside, centered, rooted, I give you all freedom - go and love. Go and be in the world; now you will be able to enjoy it, you will be able to taste it, you will be able to penetrate into its deepest possibilities. And whenever you enter into the realms of depth, always you will find the divine there. In love, go deep and you will find God; in food, eat well with alertness, awareness and you will find God.

The Upanishads say annam brahma - food is god. And the Upanishads say that sex is just a brother, a twin brother, of the final ultimate bliss. A twin brother of the ultimate final bliss - sex! You have condemned it too much. It may be the lowest rung of the ladder but it belongs to the ladder. The highest rung belongs as much as the lowest; in fact, everything belongs to God and is divine.

This is enlightenment: to be able to see in everything the sacred throbbing. Religion is not against anything, religion is the search to find the holy everywhere. And it is there, waiting for you.

You have come to the right place. Your mind may like to escape from here, because this is going to be a death to your mind. It is the right place for you, but the wrong place for the mind. It is absolutely the right place for your being, but for your ambitions, your ego, your pride, your stupidities, it is the most wrong place you can find anywhere on the earth at this moment.

So you decide. If you want to be stupid, escape. Then the mind will go on befooling you that you are in love and enjoying - and you know you are not enjoying, and you know that you are not in love. Then the mind may go on befooling you that you are indulging - you cannot indulge. You are not even there to indulge. You don’t exist. You don’t have an integrated being in any way. You may wander around and deceive yourself but if you really want to be loved by a woman and you want a woman to love, and you want friends, and you want to enjoy life - I am giving you the keys to it.

The second question:

You say that Lao Tzu is for the rarest of seekers. Then how do you call him total?

He is for the rarest of seekers because he is total. The mind is afraid of totality, the mind is always searching for perfection. The mind is a perfectionist.

Try to understand these two dimensions: the dimension of perfection and the dimension of totality. With perfection the ego can exist perfectly; in fact, it cannot exist without the dimension of perfection. The ego is always trying to be more and more perfect, and when you want to be perfect you have to choose - you cannot be total. If you want to be wise you have to choose: you have to drop foolishness, you have to fight against ignorance. And if you want to be perfectly wise you have to cut out all the possibilities of ignorance, of foolishness, of madness.

The Greatest Sermon in the History of Zen

Talk #3 of the Series, This. This. A Thousand Times This: The Very Essence of Zen

"Maneesha, this is the greatest sermon that has been delivered in the whole history of mysticism.

"Just preparing his people, he used to say, 'Go and work in the field. You cannot work with the trees and with the grass and with the roses for long without yourself becoming as silent as they are.'

"The people who live with nature naturally find a synchronicity between themselves and the rivers and the mountains. They are closer to the earth and its heartbeat.

"Hyakujo first tried to bring the disciple close to nature, close to silence. Unless the disciple is prepared, the great sermon cannot be delivered. A great sermon needs great disciples, and a great disciple is exactly one who is silent.

"Before I enter into the tremendously beautiful story of Hyakujo I would like to tell you something about a contemporary master, George Gurdjieff."

Osho continues:
"He used to use – without knowing Hyakujo – the same method, and the people who came to him were very different than the people who came to Hyakujo.

"Gurdjieff was working in the West. And intellectuals would come and Gurdjieff would ask them to go and dig a ditch in the field, but they would say, 'We have come here to learn something, not to dig a ditch.'

"Gurdjieff was very hard. He would say, 'First do what I say if you want to hear the answer.'

"In one particular case, Bennett reached Gurdjieff. Highly educated, cultivated, he had come to ask about God and the meaning of life – and the answer was the same. Gurdjieff said, 'Leave these things for the moment. Just go and dig the ditch in the field.'

"Bennett hesitated for a moment, but then thought, 'I have come from so far, let us see what happens. What am I going to lose?' He started digging the ditch; Gurdjieff came with his cigar, watched him digging, told him that, 'Before sunset this certain area has to be prepared.'

"The sunset came, Bennett was utterly tired – an intellectual who has never worked, and particularly such work. And seeing the sun setting there was great relief: 'Now, at least Gurdjieff will start having the dialogue I have come for.'

"Gurdjieff was walking just by the side, watching all the time.

"Then Bennett said, 'The ditch is ready.'

"Gurdjieff said, 'Now fill up the ditch completely. Bring it back to the state that it was. Throw all the mud back in its place.'

"Bennett was so tired, but he was also a man of integrity. He said, 'Let us see what happens.'

"Without food, without rest, without even a coffee break he filled the ditch again. It was almost the middle of the night and Gurdjieff was standing the whole day just watching and smoking his cigar. The moon was full, at the highest peak of the night. It was a beautiful silence.

"And Bennett remembers: 'I was so tired. I don't know from where – a tremendous silence descended over me.'

"In his autobiography he says, 'I was simply astonished.'

"Gurdjieff laughed and said, 'Have you heard? Now go and rest.'

"But what was said? Nothing was said."

Gnome GNOME hacker Seth Nickell has written a lengthy PDF and accompanying blog post with a number of very interesting ideas for GNOME 3.0. I pondered putting this up on the front page, but since that usually only attracts the "It's not what I'm used to so it sucks"-crowd, I decided to put it up here. Be sure to read the blog post, the PDF, and the comments on the blog post to get the entire picture.

Goal oriented design

This guy have some nice ideas. What I liked is that he is focused on the goals of the user, not on creating stuff for the sake of creating stuff like people on kde4 and gnome-shell...

By the way, there's a whole methodology of creating products focusing on goals. It's called Goal Oriented Design, and I think OSS people should start using immediately if they want to stay competitive..

Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu Ah, it's that time of the year again. We already had this up on the sidebar, but I figured we'd turn it into a proper front page item - mostly because I want to discuss the move by the Ubuntu team to no longer install GNOME 2 as the 'classic' desktop option - which pretty much ends any and all involvement for me with Ubuntu (KDE 4 here I come). There's more to this than just that, of course, so those of you who do like Unity still have enough reason to upgrade.

Thom, this is my desktop running Kubuntu 11.10:

They say a picture can be equivalent to a 1000 words, don't know how many words a video is worth:

If you like it you like it, if you don't you don't. Is KDE perfect ? No, Does it work ? Yes.

Is it Good ? Matter of opinion, personally I love it, but I also happen to like E17 also.
