Roman Josi had a goal and an assist to lead the Predators to a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Monday night. http://www.authenticshopbroncos.com/broncos-garett-bolles-navy-blue-jersey/ . Tracey comes to the Blue Bombers after spending over a decade with Queens University. Most recently he was the schools assistant football coach. NOBODY THOUGHT IT would be his last, least of all him. On July 18, Alex Rodriguez hit a second-inning solo shot off Baltimore Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman deep into the left-field seats at Yankee Stadium. It was only A-Rods ninth homer of the year, but it was also the 696th of his career, and it gave the New York Yankees a 1-0 lead en route to a 2-1 victory. After the game, he told reporters, Im getting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.Turns out it was a train. Last week, the Yankees pressured him into retiring after Fridays game, when he still could hit another. Or he could decide to come back at a later date. But for now, he remains tantalizingly close to joining Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth as the only members of the 700 Club.For some of the games greatest hitters, farewells dont always end well. Parting is such sweet sorrow and all that, but theres little poetry in balls, or players, reaching the warning track.Thats something to keep in mind as 40-year-old David Ortiz tries to finish what he says will be his last season with a bang?(528 HRs and counting); as Prince Fielder is forced to call it quits with 319 homers (same as his father, Cecil); as Mark Teixeira (404 ... do I hear 405?) takes a final bow. And as A-Rod, who just turned 41, hangs em up. In announcing his retirement, A-Rod said, As far as 700 or those types of milestones, look, I would have had an unbelievable fun time trying to go after them. ... [But] those are not the cards I was dealt.If Friday is indeed his last game, and No. 696 was his last homer, its worth replaying his trot around the bases.?As he circled the bases against the Orioles, Rodriguez blew a chewing gum bubble.As it always does, the bubble burst.SOME DAY, A-ROD will go to Cooperstown. Six days after his home run, the honors belonged to Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza. This year, as usual, the hamlet was crawling on induction weekend with gods, some in a higher pantheon than others, but all adored by their worshippers. Its as good a time and place as any to dust off the memories.George Brett, No. 317. The man in a golf shirt, shorts and Kansas City Royals ankle socks is about to tee off on the sixth hole of the Leatherstocking Golf Course in Cooperstown, New York. Its the annual golf tournament that precedes the ceremonies, and while Brett waits his turn, he is asked to go back to Sept. 26, 1993 -- the day he hit his 317th, and last, home run.Refresh my memory, he says. No, wait, its coming back to me. ... It was a 10th-inning, two-out game winner against the Angels in Kansas City. High fastball into the balcony in right.Brett then hits his tee shot straight down the middle, and, as he drives off down the fairway, he shouts, Hey, that was my second homer of the game.After his round, he asks, Who did I hit it off of? Paul Swingle.Greg Swindell? It couldnt have been him. This guy was a right-hander. Yes, he was, but his name was Paul Swingle. S-w-i-n-g-l-e.Oh. I dont remember him. And who gave up my first homer in that game? John Farrell. The Red Sox manager? Really? Thats kind of neat.Neater still was that the home runs came on the day after Brett had tearfully announced his retirement. When that Sunday game ended with his walk-off, his line in the box score read: Brett 5-3-3-5.As he says, I got to be George Brett for one more day.Mike Schmidt, No. 548. Fate is funny. With the fifth pick of the second round of the 1971 draft, the Royals selected a shortstop named George Brett. Right after that, with the sixth pick, the Philadelphia Phillies also went for a shortstop: Mike Schmidt. They would become the greatest third basemen of their generation, making 25 All-Star Games between them.They went head-to-head in the 1980 World Series, won by the Phillies, and Schmidt would win three MVPs, two more than Brett. But when it came to their final home runs, Brett got the better deal.Schmidts was a two-run homer off Jim Deshaies in the first inning of a May 2, 1989 game at the Vet -- it gave the Phillies a 2-1 lead in a game they would lose 12-4. It was a high fastball that I hit down the left-field line, Schmidt says. It barely stayed inside the foul pole. I had no idea at the time that it would be my last.Nearly a month later, Schmidt broke down at his retirement news conference.Looking back, the only reason to have delayed my retirement would have been the career numbers: I was two short of 550 home runs and five short of 1,600 RBIs -- one good game. But I was feeling my age, the team was in transition, and I had what I thought were Hall of Fame credentials and enough money. Im actually very comfortable with how my career ended and how my retirement played out. I even have the home run ball in a case at home.I just wish Id have written a better goodbye speech.Frank Thomas, No. 286. There were two Frank Thomases in Cooperstown. There was one who was in the Hall of Fame, and then there was the large hulking man signing photos and balls at a card table on Main Street.The other Frank Thomas is an 87-year-old Pittsburgh native who played for seven National League teams over 16 seasons. When fans tell him how good it is to see him alive, he tells them, Well, its a lot better to be seen than to be viewed.Thomas was a pretty good slugger in his day, not to mention the Home Run King of New York in 1962 (he hit 34 for the original Mets, while Roger Maris hit 33 and Mickey Mantle 30 for the Yankees). Asked about his final homer, Frank has to think. I dont remember much about it. Wait, I was with the Astros, and it was against the Mets. And it got me traded!It was Aug. 31, 1965, at Shea Stadium, and, like Brett, Thomas hit his last two home runs in the same game. In fact, the right-handed-hitting first baseman provided all of the Astros offense in a 4-3 victory, with a three-run bomb off Larry Miller in the first inning with Joe Morgan and Jimmy Wynn aboard and a solo shot in the third off Darrell Sutherland.The next day, they sent me to my old pals on the [Atlanta] Braves for a player to be named later, Thomas says. I guess they figured I had something left. No more homers, but I got to play the last month of the season with Hank [Aaron] and Eddie [Mathews] again. Joe Torre and Phil Niekro, too. Thats four Hall of Famers right there. That was my reward, I guess.Frank Thomas, No. 521. The Big Hurt was also in town, looking as imposing as ever beside his plaque, which has him in his White Sox hat. But it didnt end well for him in Chicago: He was hurt big when the club released him after winning the 2005 World Series. He signed with the Oakland As and hit another 39 in 06, then 26 more as the Toronto Blue Jays DH in 07. Then the fly balls started coming up short. On Aug. 9, 2008, back on the As and playing at Comerica Park, Thomas hit one last home run, a two-out, first-inning shot to left-center off Armando Galarraga.He played 18 more games that season, then went into denial, refusing to announce his retirement. Finally, on Feb. 12, 2010, Thomas officially called it quits by signing a one-day contract with the White Sox, who announced that they would be retiring his No. 35. At the news conference, he said, For some reason, it seems like there is never a happy ending to superstars careers. They end up playing for other teams -- but they always end up coming back.Had he hit one more home run, Thomas would be alone at No. 20 on the all-time list. But hes in very good company with 521, tied with Willie McCovey and ...Ted Williams, No. 521. Standing sentinel on the first floor of Cooperstowns museum is The Splendid Splinter. His statue perfectly captures his lefty-swinging follow-through -- the same follow-through he used to hit his 521st homer off Jack Fisher in the eighth inning of a 5-4 comeback win over the Orioles.It was not only the last at-bat of his career but also the inspiration for one of the finest sports stories ever written. Here is how John Updike described the third pitch of the at-bat in Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu, which appeared in the Oct. 22, 1960, issue of The New Yorker:Like a feather caught in a vortex, Williams ran around the square of bases at the center of our beseeching screaming. He ran as he always ran out home runs -- hurriedly, unsmiling, head down, as if our praise were a storm of rain to get out of. He didnt tip his cap. ... The papers said that the other players, and even the umpires on the field, begged him to come out and acknowledge us in some way, but he never had and did not now. Gods do not answer letters.Al Kaline, No. 399. As Williams was to Boston, Kaline was to Detroit. Mr. Tigers final round-tripper was a ninth-inning, two-run homer off Reggie Cleveland in Fenway on Sept. 18, 1974, but it didnt mean much to the Tigers, who lost 8-5, or to Kaline at the time.I hardly recall it, says Kaline, who was at a cocktail reception in the Hall of Fame gallery, not far from the Williams figure. I do remember my home run off Steve Carlton in the 1968 World Series and my 11th-inning homer off Rollie Fingers in the 72 ALCS. But I never really tried to hit home runs. I was more concerned with getting to 3,000 hits. That was the mark I was really after. ... It wasnt until Yaz came along that I really realized the significance of 400 home runs.Kaline did get his 3,000th hit, in his hometown Baltimore, and five years later, Carl Yastrzemski recorded both. Indeed, its right there on his plaque: FIRST AMERICAN LEAGUER TO HAVE 400 HOME RUNS AND 3,000 HITS.Roberto Clemente, No. 240. He hit it on Sept. 13, 1972, and it was his 10th homer of the season. Seventeen days later, he got the 3,000th hit of his career. Who could have known they would be the last of each -- Clemente died in a plane crash on New Years Eve, en route to delivering aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.What a shock, says Ferguson Jenkins, the Hall of Famer who gave up the Hall of Famers final home run. I loved facing Roberto, and believe me, we faced each other a lot over the years.It was the sixth time Clemente had homered off Jenkins. The only other pitcher to give up as many as six to Clemente was Sandy Koufax. I remember it like it was yesterday, Jenkins says. Wrigley Field, seventh inning, right? Man on and two outs, score tied 3-3. He was a bad-ball hitter, so I tried to throw it off the plate, get him to chase. I forget the count, but I threw it inside, and he hit it over the ivy in left. You win some, you lose some, and that one I lost.Because this was the 25th anniversary of Fergies induction, he invited his family up to Cooperstown. He showed them the Clemente statue in the museum.Steve Garvey, No. 272. When he retired in 11988, there was no way Garvey wasnt going into the Hall of Fame -- not with his 10 All-Star appearances, his .dddddddddddd338 batting average in 11 postseason series, the National League record for most consecutive games played (1,207).But his numbers were diminished by the sluggers of the steroid era, and his once angelic reputation was tarnished by a soap operatic personal life. Now Garvey is stuck in purgatory, and, on this HOF weekend, he is sitting at the same table in the same souvenir shop with the devil himself, Pete Rose.Garveys last home run came on April 12, 1987, a three-run, first-inning homer off the Cincinnati Reds Guy Hoffman at Riverfront Stadium that gave the San Diego Padres a 3-0 lead en route to a 5-2 victory. One Hall of Famer, Tony Gwynn, scored ahead of Garvey, and another, Barry Larkin, watched it sail out of the park.It went into the seats in left-center, Garvey says. I didnt think it would be my last, but then, you never do.?Bicep tendinitis got to me, and I [missed the rest of the 1987 season]. I didnt know what became of the ball.But then a funny thing happened. Six or seven years ago, a box arrives in the mail. Its from one of the groundskeepers at Riverfront. Back in those days, you could buy game balls and stuff in the team store, and he bought the home run ball. I guess he saw the date and realized the significance. Eventually, he tracked me down and sent it to me because he thought I might like to have it.Its kind of special. Not so much because of its significance but more because a fan went out of his way to send me a gift he thought I might want.George Foster, No. 348. Right across the street from Garvey, in another souvenir store, is another man who thought he might be going to Cooperstown for a different reason. I really thought I would get 500, which would have gotten me into the Hall of Fame, Foster says. Just five more 30-homer seasons. But injuries got the best of me.When Foster hit 52 home runs for the 1977 Reds, only seven other players had hit more in a season. But after the Mets acquired him in 82, he went from great to good to gone: He and manager Davey Johnson locked horns, and he was released in August of 86. The White Sox picked him up, and it was for them that he hit No. 348, a solo shot in the fourth inning off Bill Wegman on Aug. 15. Two months later, his ex-teammates on the Mets won the World Series.Though his MLB career was soon over, Foster still had a little left in him: He reappeared in 1989 in the Senior Professional Baseball Association, where he hit 11 homers in 70 games for the St. Lucie Legends.Eddie Murray, No. 504. A final home run ball is worth saving. But sometimes circumstances prevent that. Murray was playing for the Angels on May 30, 1997, when he hit a solo shot in the second inning of a game the Minnesota Twins would win 4-3. It was off Bob Tewksbury to center field, he says. Thats about all I remember. I dont even know what happened to the ball.The funny thing is that, the year before, when I hit 22 for the Cleveland Indians and Baltimore Orioles, the balls kept bouncing back on the field, and people were collecting them for me. I think I have 19 of those. But that last one happened so early in the season that I had no idea it would be my last.Actually, that was not the last professional home run that Murray hit. Yeah, I hit two more that season for Albuquerque after the Dodgers picked me up. That was weird, me playing with all those kids. I have no idea who gave up my last one.Just for the record, it was a Phoenix pitcher named Mike Villano.Donora, Pennsylvania, No. 1,259. Seven hours west-southwest of Cooperstown is another baseball mecca, a town of 5,000 that, thanks to native sons Stan Musial, Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr., can claim more home runs per capita than any other place on earth. Together they hit 1,257 -- the other two came from Steve Filipowicz, a Donoran who had them for the 1945 New York Giants.The last one was hit by one of the men celebrated in this Cooperstown weekend, Ken Griffey Jr. It came on Oct. 3, 2009, in the bottom of the fourth inning of a game between the Rangers and Mariners at Safeco Field. Junior took Tommy Hunters 3-1 pitch deep to right field to give the Ms a 1-0 lead in a game they would win 2-1. At the time, it was his 19th homer of the season, the 630th of his career.Nineteen years and 595 home runs earlier, there was another date to remember: Sept. 14, 1990. Thats when the Griffeys homered back-to-back off the Angels Kirk McCaskill to become the first father-son combo to go yard in the same game. After touching home plate, Senior told Junior, Thats how you do it, son.Willard Brown, No. 1. Hes in the Hall of Fame for his hitting, baserunning and outfield play for the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues. But he did play for the St. Louis Browns in 1947, and became the first African-American to hit a home run in the American League: an inside-the-park homer off future Hall of Famer Hal Newhouser of the Tigers on Aug. 13. It was also his last in the majors, and the last for the bat he used.It seems he had borrowed it from teammate Jeff Heath, who was so enraged at his presumption that he smashed the lumber to pieces in the dugout.Hank Aaron, No. 755, and Billy Williams, No. 426. Whats it like to give up a Hall of Famers last home run? Dick Drago knows. Pitching for the Angels, he gave up two in a two-week span.Aarons I knew about, Drago says. But I had no idea I also gave up Billys last one.The Aaron homer came first, 40 years ago on July 20, 1976, in County Stadium, a solo homer deep to left in the seventh inning of the Milwaukee Brewers 6-2 victory. It was a hanging slider. I tried to get cute. Not the best inning of my career -- I gave up a homer to George Scott when Hank was in the on-deck circle. Other than that, I dont remember much, just him circling the bases and me fuming on the mound.When was the Williams home run?Aug. 8, an eighth-inning solo shot in a 9-3 loss to the Athletics in Oakland.I did give up a few. I guess its kind of a distinction that I gave up Hank Aarons last. You know, we signed balls together a few years ago. But Ive never seen the actual ball.Therein lies a tale. A part-time groundskeeper named Richard Arndt caught the ball in the bleachers. Not knowing its future significance, he just wanted to give the ball to Aaron and maybe have his picture taken. But he was told that Aaron was busy and that he should hand the ball over. When he refused, he was fired.Later that season, Arndt tried to get Aaron to sign the ball, but the legend balked, saying the ball belonged to him. Over the years, Arndt entertained various offers for the ball, even some from Aaron and the Brewers. He finally sold it to a Connecticut portfolio manager for $655,000, a large chunk of which he gave to Aarons Chasing the Dream Foundation. (What, nothing for the guy who hung the slider? Drago says.)That ball is now on loan to the museum, in a third-floor exhibit called Hank Aaron: Chasing The Dream.As for the Williams ball, Billy had it once. I threw it in my baseball bag, he says. The next year, I was in Midland, Texas, looking at some hitters for the Cubs, and a kid asked me if I had any baseballs. That was the only one I had to give him.Barry Bonds, No. 762. Bonds hit two balls worth a lot of money. The first was the one he hit to pass Aaron, No. 756, an Aug. 7, 2007, homer off Mike Bacsik of the Nationals. It was caught at AT&T Park by college student Matt Murphy and sold to fashion designer Mark Ecko for $752,467.20 so that he could make a statement by engraving an asterisk on it. Thats now housed on the third floor of the HOF museum, in an exhibit called One For The Books: Baseball Records and the Stories Behind Them.The second was the last home run ball of Bonds career, a two-run homer off rookie Ubaldo Jimenez in the first inning of the Giants 5-3 win in Colorado on Sept. 5, 2007. (Rockies outfielder Matt Holliday actually asked that the homer be negated because of fan interference. You decide.)The fan who emerged from the scrum with the ball was Jameson Sutton, who put the ball in a safe-deposit box in the hopes that it would be Bonds last waltz around the bases. When Bonds retired without another home run, collectors predicted that Sutton would get as much $1 million for the ball.He sold it that offseason to an unnamed collector through SCP Auctions for $376,612. Sutton used the money to pay off the medical expenses of his stepfather, who had just died after a battle with lung cancer.That ball is not in Cooperstown. It remains to be seen whether Bonds himself will be there.Babe Ruth, No. 714. It was May 25, 1935, and the 40-year-old Bambino waddled up to the plate for the truly dreadful Boston Braves on a chilly Saturday afternoon before 10,000 curious Pittsburgh fans in Forbes Field. No longer wanted by the Yankees -- firewood had been stored in his spring training locker and No. 3 had been given to George Selkirk -- he signed with the Braves, who needed a turnstile draw.He came into the game batting .183. But in the first inning, he hit a two-run homer into the right-field stands off Red Lucas. That was 712. He gave the Braves a 4-0 lead with another two-run shot, this one off Guy Bush, in the third -- 713. The Pirates tied the score, but Ruth put the Braves back ahead 5-4 with an RBI single in the fifth. In the top of the seventh, with the home team back ahead 7-5 but the crowd behind him, Ruth took a mighty swing at Bushs 3-1 pitch ... and launched it clear over the right-field roof. No batter had ever done that in the 26-year history of the park: 714.In an article for the Society of American Baseball Research, Jack Zerby described the scene thusly: After rounding the bases in a 1935 version of his classic trot, Babe saluted the fans with a tipped cap, and then excused himself from the game. Sole access to the visiting clubhouse was through the Pittsburgh dugout. En route, he plopped himself down at the end of the bench and told rookie Pirate pitcher Mace Brown, Boy, that last one felt good.After going 4-for-4 with three homers and six RBIs that day, Ruth played five more games, but he never got another hit.The ball that Ruth hit for No. 714 is now part of the Hall of Fames touring exhibit, We Are Baseball, which is at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City until Aug. 21. Then its on to St. Louis. Thats the thing about last home runs. Long after the batter touches home, the ball is still traveling.

Mamata highlights the importance of peace in Darjeeling hills
PTI29 May 2018 12:33 PM GMT
Kalimpong (WB): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today highlighted the importance of maintaining peace in Darjeeling Hills, which saw a record 104 day-long strike last year, and stressed on the development of tourism in this area.
"We want peace here. Peace helps in achieving targets and when there is no peacen it affects even that work which is about to achieve success," she said while addressing an administrative meeting here at Dr Graham's Home Ground this afternoon.
"I want more and more tourists to come here. For that we should be looking into the scopes of development of tourism sector here. Darjeeling is very popular among the people of the country," she said.
Banerjee said a detailed discussion on improving tourism and on unemployment would be held in tomorrow's meeting with the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA).
Hailing the performance of the current GTA under Binay Tamang, she said, "I want the GTA to perform well. I want it to carry out its audit because it is important to maintain a financial position. This is the money of the common people."
The Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal had in September last year announced a nine-member 'board of administrators' to run the GTA in the hills and had appointed GJM leader Binay Tamang as its chairman in an attempt to end the deadlock in Darjeeling hills arising of the strike.
Following unrest in the Hills over the demand for a separate state of Gorkhaland last year, all 45 elected members of the then GTA, including its chief executive Bimal Gurung, had resigned from the administrative body in June, when the agitation broke out.

Funding sought for family of 15-year-old Summerland girl with cancer
Treatment will involve two weeks in hospital, followed by eight to 10 weeks recovery at home
John Arendt
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help a Summerland family dealing with a serious illness.
Two weeks ago, Judy Kurulak learned her 15-year-old daughter, Ocean, had been diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer.
The treatment, scheduled for mid-January, involves the removal of half the pancreas and possibly the spleen as well.

This will involve a two-week hospital stay in Vancouver, followed by a recovery period of eight to 10 weeks at home.
To assist with the expenses, Debbie Ramsay, a friend of the Kurulaks, has set up a GoFundMe page with a goal of $5,000.
The page was set up on Dec. 12 and by noon the following day, more than $1,500 had been donated.
Ramsay said the financial expenses will be difficult for the single-parent family.
"It will be very hard for her to make ends meet while she takes care of her daughter. Ocean is trying to find small jobs just so she can help her mom financially," Ramsay said. "We are asking for your generosity and kindness to help this family, anything helps."

A Matter of Trust
Legislation that would abolish the Smithfield Land Trust - introduced by the same representative who helped create it two decades ago - has ignited a heated debate in town, where two longtime residents say the trust paid nearly a million dollars to political ``insiders'' to protect land that couldn't have be developed anyway. The longtime chairwoman of the trust says everything was done by the book, under the direction of multiple town councils. Jim Hummel says the issue now has the attention of a statewide coalition of land trusts.
Click here to see the Smithfield Land Trust land holdings.
For some in Smithfield it doesn't seem that long ago the town looked like this: sprawling farms, apple orchards and wooded areas in a 28-square-mile community that in its early days was largely agrarian. But housing developments like this one, and the explosion of commercial development along Route 44 prompted town leaders in the late 1990s to create a land trust - charged with obtaining open space and preserving select tracts of land from developers.
And voters in 2004 approved a $5.1 million taxpayer bond to help the land trust accomplish it.
Winfield: ``We wanted to acquire property that would maintain some of the rural characteristics of our town. And I don't think anybody disagrees with that. It's how we went about it. In that some of the way we did it, maybe we could be doing it a lot better and maybe getting more bang for our buck.''
State Representative Thomas Winfield, who sponsored the legislation creating the land trust has now reversed course - filing a bill in February to abolish it, after speaking with two leading critics of the all-volunteer board: Al Costantino and Jackson Despres, both business owners and longtime residents.
They have led the charge in questioning the land trust's acquisitions: including several they say went to political insiders like Town Councilwoman Maxine Cavanagh.
Last month dozens of people packed the town's senior citizens center to debate a resolution the town council drafted opposing Winfield's legislation to abolish the land trust. Over the course of nearly two hours many rose to defend the trust's effort. Costantino and Despres were not among them.
Winfield: ``The leadership on the council has tried desperately to prohibit us from speaking, because they don't like what we have to say. We're exposing inappropriate conduct and behavior on the part of certain individuals and they don't like that.
Costantino: ``You know if somebody pours Kool Aid in my glass, I don't go for it. A lot of the records in the land trust was Kool Aid.''
Since late 2000 the trust has spent $7 million to acquire 21 properties totaling more than 1,000 acres, including this massive tract across the street from Stump Pond.
The land trust's longtime chairwoman Barbara Rich - in a wide-ranging interview - tells The Hummel Report everything was done by the book and with the approval of five councils during her 10 years in leadership.
Rich: ``It's great for Mr. Despres to say that we paid too much, or that we paid too much for a certain parcel, but everything we did was by appraisal. And that takes into consideration properties nearby, big tracts of land.''
Costantino compiled a 118-page report for the council based on nearly 60 hours of research that includes plat maps, emails, appraisals and land evaluations by trust members visiting potential properties. He said two purchases in particular raised red flags.
The town bought a ``conservation easement'' for 12 acres on Stump Pond from Town Councilwoman Maxine Cavanagh and her husband Paul for $390,000 in 2009 - and another conservation easement for a 7 ½-acre farm near the Glocester line for $545,000 from Jeffrey Booker, a former 10-year member of the land trust.
The easement allows the sellers to remain on their property and benefit from a slight reduction in property taxes, with a promise the land will not be developed. Costantino said the public perception alone of doing a deal with a longtime councilwoman should have scuttled the purchased.
Costantino: ``My whole issue with the Cavanagh property is: it's a nice piece of property, with a house and a barn, it's on Stump Pond, it's just not a farm, it's not a big piece of property, they had a plan to cut it up into, I believe, five house lots, which they never did and they gave development rights to it.''
Cavanagh, a Republican, was first elected to the council in 2004. She was defeated in 2006, then reelected in November 2008 and has been on the council since then. She and her husband approached the land trust in early 2008 about a conservation easement for 9 ½ of their 12 acres on Log Road. Cavanagh and Rich, who was appointed to the land trust while Cavanagh was serving her first term on the council, were both cleared by the state Ethics Commission to begin negotiations. The $390,000 deal was completed in December of 2009, a year after Cavanagh had returned to the council.
Costantino: ``I can show you many properties in town that someone has a house and 10 acres of land, so why weren't they entitled to the same opportunity to get development rights as Cavangah and Booker?''
Rich: ``I thought that we had explained how that had all worked, and that there was no deal and everything was done fine, but apparently that didn't satisfy (the ciritics).''
Those critics, Costantino and Despres, said Booker's property was an unlikely candidate for development - 2,200 feet from a sewer line in low-lying property below a berm keeping back George Waterman Lake.
Hummel: ``If you walked away from that deal, did you really have concerns that that would be a property that might turn into something you didn't want it to be?''
Rich: ``I'm not sure that we ever worried about that, really. I don't know how to answer that actually. It wasn't a point of discussion. Like: Oh geez, if we don't do this.''
A staff attorney for the Rhode Island Ethics Commission tells The Hummel Report Booker asked for advisory opinions in 2009, then again in 2010 but withdrew both before the commission could hear them.
Hummel: ``Do you understand the perception problem with the fact that Mr. Booker had been on the land trust for 10 years, do you get that?''
Rich: ``Yes, yes.''
Hummel: ``And what do you say to that?''
Rich: ``Absolutely. The fact that we followed the same procedures that we always have. I think if the town council had said you can't do it. Or you shouldn't do it. If they had maybe been a little more inquisitive maybe that would have changed our discussion of it.''
Then there's a 2009 donation to the land trust by Mary Mowry: 21 acres and a house, plus $600,000. Costantino says her will directed that the board sell the house and five acres, which still has not been done. Rich countered that the will offered the land trust the possibility but selling it was not a directive.
Hummel: ``What do you make of their presentation?''
Rich: ``That they cherry picked what they wanted out of the documents and the records to formulate their opinion, to back up what they thought was going on.''
As for the criticism?
Rich: ``They don't know me. I don't know why they think I have some kind of power to do deals, or that I was doing nefarious stuff. I have no idea why they think that. Because they've never even talked to me.''
Winfield's proposed legislation has caught the attention of a state coalition of land trusts, whose executive director says if Smithfield's is abolished it could have a chilling effect on donations. And Rich said she's not sure Mowry would have given the town the $600,000 she donated to the land trust were it not in place.
She's also concerned about some of the negative publicity the land trust has received.
Rich: ``Because no property owner is going to want to come to us if they think that we're doing the wrong thing, or if they think their property is going to get snatched away. Or people donated property to us, is it going to get taken by the town? That's a real concern.''
Despres said he would like to see more board members with financial and real estate expertise, adding that some of the property the land trust had bought conservation rights to had little chance of being developed.
Despres: ``There were many of the other properties that because of physical characteristics: wetlands, ledge, configuration of the land itself, location, inaccessibility, lack of sewer and water, many, many different constraints, those properties in my mind were not economically developable. In which case you could either not touch them and let Father Time preserve them, or you could have paid a lot less money for the acquisition or development rights to those pieces.''
Costantino agrees, saying the land trust could have driven harder bargains to acquire open space or give out conservation easements.
Costantino: ``Say an appraisal comes in for $300, 000 saying the development rights are worth $300,000, offer them $165,000. What are they going to do? There's only one land trust in Smithfield. What are they going to do, go to another land trust? Go home and think about it. If you decide to do it, give us a call back. That's how a business person does business.''
As for the legislation: the council passed a resolution that it sent to House Speaker Nick Mattiello opposing Winfield's bill. Council President Paul Santucci says the council has met with the land trust and he is confident that some recent management changes have put the board in a good position going forward.
Winfield says he hasn't decided whether to amend his current bill or introduce a new one, but adds he won't stop until there are more changes.
Winfield: ``I filed the legislation to keep it in the public eye, get some attention and prod them into action.''

San Francisco to be taken off watch list Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom says
San Francisco has been on the state's COVID-19 watch list since July 17 after a steep rise in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations
By Alix Martichoux
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- San Francisco is on its way to getting off the watch list, Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a press conference Wednesday.
San Francisco has been on the state's COVID-19 watch list since July 17 after a steep rise in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations. As those numbers have dropped below the watch list thresholds, San Francisco will likely come off the list on Thursday, according to Newsom.
"For the purposes of transparency, we expect all things being equal, it's likely as early as tomorrow," the governor said.
That opens the door for schools to open in two weeks, if the city's leadership chooses to do so.
Placer County was removed from the list on Wednesday, after San Diego was taken off Tuesday.
WATCH LIST: 40 California counties where COVID-19 is getting worse
Gov. Newsom also addressed the growing wildfires in Northern California, many of which exploded in size overnight. He said there were 367 known fires burning in the state and 23 major wildfire complexes. While the conditions are challenging, Newsom said the state had prepared early by hiring hundreds of seasonal firefighters and hand crews.
BAY AREA FIRES: What you need to know about fires burning in Napa, Sonoma, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Alameda counties
Firefighters are working to contain the blaze amid an oppressive heat wave, which swept the West Coast starting Friday.
The heat has placed extra stress on California's power grid, and led to rolling blackouts Friday and Saturday. The governor said Wednesday night looked like the "last challenging night" of the week. A Flex Alert has been issued, asking Californians to conserve energy between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. to avoid major blackouts.
In his press conference Monday, Newsom admitted the state wasn't adequately prepared to deal with the record heat wave, and the resulting rolling blackouts.
MORE: Santa Cruz Co. removed from watch list, power outages 'very likely' through Wednesday, Newsom says
"Let me just make this crystal clear: We failed to predict and plan for these shortages and that is unacceptable," the governor said.
Since Friday, the governor said the state has taken the following actions to reduce energy usage:
Newsom signed an "emergency proclamation to free up energy capacity" and therefore reduce the need for rolling blackouts. The move allows "energy users and utilities to use backup energy sources to relieve pressure on the grid during peak times during the energy emergency."
Large energy users are shifting to back-up power between peak hours of 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Utilities are using power they have stored for PSPS
Working with ports to reduce consumption from the grid while ships are at port
Working with major consumers to reduce energy usage
"Even with all of that, we are likely to fall short," Newsom said. "I am not pleased with what's happened. I take a backseat to no one."

Football: Winnacunnet quarterback has grown in past year
STEVE CRAIG
HAMPTON — Tonight will mark an anniversary of sorts for junior quarterback Ing Hao Veasna when he and the Winnacunnet High football team host Manchester West.
For the first time, Veasna will make a second varsity start against an opponent, roughly 50 weeks after his initial start as a sophomore.
"I was pretty nervous going into the game," Veasna recalled of the Sept. 30, 2011 night in Hampton. "Being my first start and everything, I was still trying to get used to the speed of the game."
Veasna had a successful debut. He completed three passes and two went for touchdowns. He had a key run in a scoring drive. Most importantly, Winnacunnet won the game, 42-0, to improve its record to 2-3.
The Warriors didn't win again until the final game. By that point, any hopes at the playoffs had been dashed. Some of the games were downright miserable, like the eight-turnover debacle at Alvirne the following week.
"Going from freshman football to starting at varsity, the speed was a big thing and being consistent and his decision making," Winnacunnet coach Ron Auffant said. "This year he's making better decisions. In our offense, a lot of that is reading and coming up to the line and making the right calls.
"The speed of the game has gotten better for him," Auffant added.
There's that phrase, again: The Speed of the Game. It's become a modern cliché, used to explain why athletes struggle when stepping up to a higher level.
"Freshman year, the kids are not up to speed with everything," Veasna said. "Once you start playing varsity, everyone is bigger, stronger, faster and you've just got to get to it. Get used to it."
It's not just opponents who are going faster. Veasna admits he struggled with the precise, fluid footwork needed to do seemingly simple tasks like handing the ball to a running back.
"Of course my backs were a lot faster (at the varsity level), so I was just trying to get to the hole and get my reads," he said.
Like many of his fellow teammates, Veasna appears to have grown from the hardships of 2011. The Warriors are off to a 2-0 start. Veasna has been a more efficient passer. Most importantly, he has been noticeably more confident as a second-year quarterback.
He credits his offensive line, senior tackles Christian Dyer and Zach Williams, senior guards Jordan Cutting and Mike Karpel and junior center Ryan Welch, for much of his success
"Those guys help me out a lot. They're pretty much the reason why the offense is working because we've got a good line. They're strong and probably one of the biggest lines," Veasna said.
Winnacunnet is definitely a run-first team and it's up to Veasna to make a split-second decision on whether to give the ball to the dive back or pull it and extend the play.
"The coaches, they want me to pull sometimes because that's when the big play happens," Veasna said.
When given the opportunity, Veasna has been a more assured passer. He's completed 9-of-16 passes with three TDs and is averaging a healthy 22.3 yards via a variety of completions, from screens to slants and crossing patterns over the middle to one beautifully thrown deep ball up the right sideline in the season opener.
Veasna has also gained a greater appreciation for his own role. Let others focus on his statistics. He says his top priority is to limit mistakes and turnovers.
That's why he was frustrated by the final two series last week at Bedford. He fumbled twice as the Warriors were trying to run out the clock. The result was Bedford scoring with no time left on the clock.
"I was pretty upset with that," Veasna said. "At the end I didn't perform that well. Take away those lost fumbles and we should have just ended the game 13-0, instead of (Bedford scoring) those six points."
After the game, while most of the team was celebrating and regaling each other with stories of their personal exploits, Veasna sat quietly on the curb waiting for the bus. Chances are last year he would have been left alone to stew in his own thoughts. This time one of his teammates made it a point to come over and remind him, "Ing Hao, you played a good game."
"I just feel like our offense has bonded together a lot better than last year," Veasna said. "This year I feel like we're all together, one team, one family."

Snapdeal sees most orders coming from non-metro locations
The Snapdeal e-commerce market said on Tuesday that almost 92% of the orders received so far for the first stage of its Diwali holiday sale are from non-metropolitan countries.
When mapping the trends and results of the first three days of its eight-day Diwali sale, the platform saw an increase in businesses in smaller cities such as Bharuch (Gujarat), Pali (Rajasthan), Tezpur (Assam), Paradip (Odisha), a spokesman for Snapdeal said in a statement.
EW DELHI: The Snapdeal e-commerce market is experiencing strong demand from Tier II and III cities, with almost 92 percent of its orders coming from non-subway locations.
The trend is synchronized with other larger platforms such as Amazon.in and Flipkart, owned by Walmart, which are experiencing strong traction from the smallest cities in the country.
During the first three days of the eight-day Snap-Diwali sale, almost 92 percent of orders received so far come from non-subway locations, Snapdeal said in a statement.
There has been a multiple increase in orders received from smaller cities such as Bharuch (Gujarat), Pali (Rajasthan), Tezpur (Assam), Paradip (Odisha), among others, he added.
"Diwali's sale trends are an unequivocal confirmation that electronic commerce is now a solid channel for buyers in smaller cities. Through Snapdeal, we are effectively closing the gap between buyers' aspirations and what is available in the local bazaars, "said CEO and co-founder of Snapdeal, Kunal Bahl.
Interestingly, digital gift cards seem to be a popular choice among subway buyers in Snapdeal.
Snapdeal said it has witnessed a 300 percent increase in the sale of digital gift cards such as Uber, MakeMyTrip, Google Play, Levis, Gap, Nautica, Aeropostale, 3M, Urban Ladder, VLCC, Dominos and KFC compared to the festive sale season of 2018.
A spokesman for Snapdeal said these gift cards are a popular choice among subway buyers who use them for themselves and also as gift options.
"Young adults prefer gift cards to cash gifts. Purchase of gift cards is expected to increase with festivals such as Karva Chauth, Diwali and Bhai Dooj later this month," the spokesman added.
Earlier this week, Amazon.in had said that 91 percent of its new customers for its current festive sale come from Tier II and III cities, and fashion and smartphone categories are the main purchasing segments for These new customers.
With the economic slowdown that affects consumer behavior and, consequently, spending, companies expect the holiday season to bring change. However, e-commerce is expected to be less affected by the recession, as cautious customers seek offers.

Q: how to make a PHP process auto-restart when dead? Something like a daemon that will never die,
my system is fedora10

A: while true; do php daemon.php; done

If small outages are acceptable, add sleep 1; before done so that a continually failing daemon's spawn rate is somewhat limited.

A: Do you want to know how to construct such a service or just how to restart it in case of failure?
You could use something on system-level, like "monit": http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-monitor-and-restart-linux-unix-service.html


Now-a-days, with the growing amount of stay at home mom's and/or everyday business women working from home, it is vital to have your work space designed to achieve motivation and success. Your home office should be exactly what it is, "homey". It needs to have a mixture of comfortability and coziness as well as inspiring and productive. Clutter and a space full of unnecessary belongings just makes for chaos and no place to actually get anything accomplished. Here are some recommendations when it comes to organizing and creating a work space that works for you.
Keeping things easily accessible. Keeping important items or papers easily accessible can help maximize time and space in your work area.
Writing board. Whether you prefer the old-school chalk board or the fresh and clean whiteboard, having one of these in your home office provides additional organization and decor. It also helps you save the environment by not having a thousand sticky notes or notepads all over your desk which can lead to clutter!
Cord control. Tangled or loose cords can lead to tripping hazards, fire hazards and just down right messiness. They manage to take over your desk and working space by causing clutter and visual distractions. Opt to use ties or clips to gather them together neatly and place them in a space without view to help you stay focused and safe.
Up, up and away! The back end of your home office desk is usually a target for unwanted storage or clutter. Instead of utilizing this inefficient space, invest in some shelving or a useful wall system. By building your shelving vertically, this can create more space for your office supplies as well as adding some height and personality to your space.
Go Green. With everything being digital these days, filing papers or generous amounts of drawers and cabinets are unnecessary. This is also a benefit to having a home office because this is less space needed and more space for positive energy flow. Less paper on your desk = Success!

Wall Street odds don't favor Comcast-Time Warner Cable deal
By TALI ARBEL
AP Business Writer |
Apr 23, 2015 | 4:40 PM
NEW YORK — Wall Street appears increasingly convinced Comcast's $45.2 billion purchase of Time Warner Cable is dead.
Combining the No. 1 and No. 2 U.S. cable companies would put nearly 30 percent of TV and about 55 percent of broadband subscribers under one roof. That would give the resulting behemoth unprecedented power over what Americans watch and download.
That has competitors, consumer groups, and Senators lining up to oppose the deal.
"This is one of those deals where the opponents of the merger have been one of the most vocal I can remember," said S&P Capital IQ analyst Tuna Amobi.
A telling indicator is the gap between the value Comcast's all-stock bid assigned to each Time Warner Cable share and Time Warner Cable stock's current price. That was at its widest point yet Thursday, a signal that investors are giving just 20 to 30 percent odds that the deal will go through, said Nomura analyst Adam Ilkowitz.
If the Comcast-Time Warner Cable deal falls through, a transaction with Charter Communications Inc. aimed to smoothing the way for regulatory approval also falls apart. Charter's bid for Bright House Networks, which it announced in March, could also be killed.
Many analysts expect that Charter, which lost out on its bid for Time Warner Cable to Comcast, to resurrect its effort if Comcast is rebuffed.
A guide to what's happened and what happens next:
Buying Time Warner Cable would give Comcast millions of Internet and TV customers in major markets like New York and Los Angeles, bulking it up as it deals with old rivals Dish, DirecTV and Verizon's FiOS, as well as newer, cheaper online competitors like Netflix.
Comcast has also said that buying Time Warner Cable will help it cut costs, including for programming — the shows and movies it pipes to subscribers.
Comcast also says the Time Warner Cable deal will mean higher Internet speeds and a better video-on-demand service for consumers, as well as more competition and savings for business customers.

THE PROBLEMS
Advocates and competitors say they worry that Comcast, which also owns NBCUniversal, would have too much control over Internet and TV.
One concern, for example, is that the company could undermine the streaming video industry by requiring onerous payments from new online-only video providers for connecting to its network. Dish, the satellite TV company behind the new Web video service Sling TV, and Netflix are opposed to the deal.
Another charge is that Comcast hasn't stuck to conditions imposed on it when it bought NBCUniversal. The company says it has, except for one circumstance when the FCC found it wasn't promoting a stand-alone Internet service. Comcast says it fixed that.
POLITICAL AND REGULATORY PUSHBACK
Al Franken, D-Minn., along with five other Democratic senators and Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, this week urged the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice to block the merger, saying it would lead to higher prices and fewer choices.
Recent media reports suggested that regulators aren't going to approve it. On Friday, Bloomberg, citing unidentified people, said Department of Justice staff attorneys were leaning against the deal. The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday said, also citing unidentified people, said that FCC staff recommended that the merger review go to a hearing under an administrative law judge, although no final decision had been made.
The FCC would send the deal to a judge if it didn't believe it serves the public interest. The company has the right to present its case to the judge. But a trial could take months and even then a decision could be appealed to the FCC.
"It's a dead end for Comcast," said Rob McDowell, a former FCC commissioner.
The Justice Department declined to comment. The FCC declined to comment and spokesman Neil Grace said the review is ongoing.

Comcast spokeswoman Sena Fitzmaurice confirmed that company executives met Wednesday with Justice Department and FCC officials. But she would not comment on what occurred during the meetings or what other conversations the company is having with regulators.

K Restaurant in College Park, once known for chef Kevin Fonzo, to close
Comcast may have to look overseas for future acquisitions.
"Other cable deals that don't involve Comcast might be allowed to go through," McDowell said. There "seems to be an antipathy towards Comcast at the FCC" because the agency thinks Comcast didn't stick to the conditions of the NBCUniversal merger, he said.
A combined Charter and Time Warner Cable would have 15 million video customers and 16.5 million Internet customers. That's still smaller than Comcast alone, which has 22.4 million video subscribers and 22 million Internet customers.
"Washington's concern here is excessive control of broadband in the hands of a single company," wrote analyst Craig Moffett in a client email. "For all intents and purposes, their M&A ambitions would be on ice in the U.S."

Migration, Health and Ethnicity in Modern History (HI974)
Famine, migration and public health
DISCUSSION TOPICS AND QUESTIONS:
This week we explore the relationship between famine, migration and public health, focusing in particular on the 'Great Famine', which spurred huge waves of migration to England, North America and Australasia and vast problems in managing an unprecedented flow of impoverished migrants for host nations. Over 2 million Irish left Ireland during and in the immediate aftermath of the Famine. From the first years of the Great Famine there has been intense controversy as to its causes, its consequences and the state's responses to the crisis. In England Irish migration provided a spur to the Condition of England debates, and was associated in particular with epidemics of typhus and cholera. Further, this session will focus on Ó Gráda and O'Rourke's article on 'lessons from the Great Irish Famine' to explore the broader relationship between migration, famine and disease epidemiology.
1. How did migration impact on attitudes towards and ways of managing epidemic disease outbreaks?
2. Can we 'learn' lessons from the historical past with regard to the relationship between famine, movements of population and epidemiological crises?

George Noble Jones (1811–1876) was a wealthy American southern plantation owner who owned the El Destino Plantation and Chemonie Plantation. In 1839 he hired English architect Richard Upjohn to build Kingscote, one of the earliest summer "cottages" on 253 Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island. Kingscote, a classic Gothic Revival building, is now a National Historic Landmark and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

George Noble Jones was born in 1811 to Noble Wimberley Jones (1784-1818) and Sarah (Fenwick Campbell) Jones (1784-1843), families with a long colonial heritage. His ancestor, Noble Jones, established Wormsloe Plantation near Savannah, Georgia. On May 18, 1840, George Noble Jones married Mary Wallace Savage (Nuttall) (1812-1869) and purchased Chemonie as well as the Nuttall's El Destino Plantation. G. N. Jones was one of the first members of the elite gentlemen's club, the Newport Reading Room. George Noble Jones died in 1876 in Jefferson, FL.

Editor's note: PSP is running season reviews for each Philadelphia Union player — one per weekday for the next few weeks. You can read all the reviews here.
One year was enough at UNC
On August 31, 2010, when the Union picked up Sheanon Williams from the Harrisburg City Islanders, the hope was that he could become the speedy outside fullback that would allow Michael Orozco Fiscal to move back to the center of the pitch and provide the defense with some much needed depth.
Isn't it great when you get exactly what you're looking for?
Despite being unable to secure a contract with VfL Wolfsburg (Germany) or FC Twente (Netherlands) upon leaving the University of North Carolina after only one year, Williams has the type of pedigree that is rarely available in a midseason acquisition. A former member of the US U-17 residency program, Williams has featured four times for the U-17 national team and twice for the U-20s.
Since arriving, he has started every match for the Union, keeping Cristian Arrieta firmly rooted to the bench. While his defensive positioning and awareness have left something to be desired, it is his blistering pace and ability to attack up the right flank that has the Union faithful clamoring to see more. Despite the lack of time with his Union teammates, Williams has slotted in seamlessly and, thus far in his brief stint at PPL, the Union are much better for his presence.
8 games (8 starts). 720 minutes played. 0 goals, 0 assists, 4 shots (3 on goal). 12 fouls caused, 7 fouls suffered. 0 yellow cards. He played the full 90 in every match in which he appeared.

Against the Los Angeles Galaxy in this season's penultimate match, Union fans were treated to a glimpse of the future from Williams. His attacking prowess created problems for LA's defense and they grew increasingly reluctant to attack on his wing. A fullback whose offensive presence can strike fear into an opponent is a valuable commodity, and this match gave a teaser of what is hopefully to come. In the final home match of the season, the "Sheanon Williams Experiment" era ended and the "Sheanon Williams, starting right back for the Philadelphia Union" era, began.
Low point
His first match for the Union was the friendly against Chivas de Guadalajara. He looked a complete bundle of nerves and played without confidence. Fortunately, the coaches and Union faithful needed only to see him chase down an opposing striker to realize that he is a player worth investing time and effort.

Pace. You can't teach it. You either have it or you don't. Sheanon Williams has it in abundance. Couple that with his eagerness to get forward in the attack and the Union have themselves the makings of a right fullback who can occupy the position for years to come. Do not forget that, despite having bounced around twith a number of teams, he is still only 20 years old, which puts him in with the Union's youthful core of Mwanga, Torres, MacInerney and Okugo.
The enormous throw-ins. Williams can easily put the ball into the 18-yard box from most throws in the attacking half and, if the Union can work in some strategic short options to keep opposing defenses guessing, they will find themselves with a dangerous weapon.
With experience comes awareness. With an offseason to train with the team, Williams will learn to make better decisions about when to attack and when to stay home. Once Michael Orozco and Danny Califf settled together in the center of the Union's defense they were able to provide cover for Williams attacking forays, but the Union's second season should see BOTH outside fullbacks showing attacking intent. This will require Williams to pick his spots more judiciously in order to protect against the counterattack.
As with any attacking fullback, providing well-paced, accurate service is crucial. A long, probing run down the right flank is only as dangerous as the ball played into the attacking area at the end. Lest we forget, pace without purpose equals Robbie Findley. Pin-point accuracy in his crossing would allow Williams to set himself apart in MLS.
A Union player we can cheer for with the Nats?
Bright. Anytime a starting XI-caliber player drops into your lap, it's a good thing, and Sheanon Williams has all the makings of a player who can lay claim to the right fullback slot for years to come. Expect to see his name on the protected players list when it comes time for the expansion draft, because a player of his age with the rare combination of pace, skill and knowledge is a valuable find. All too often, players are billed as having excellent speed, only to turn out to be Marvel Wynne, an athlete with straight ahead track speed, but zero agility and even less of an idea about what to do with a ball at their feet.
Williams does not just have speed; he has quickness. He will grow and mature with more match time and offseason training with the Union. For all we know, a few years of MLS experience could see him play his way into the senior national team. Not too bad for a player plucked out of USL-2.
