PITTSBURGH & CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Kraft Heinz Company ("Kraft Heinz") (Nasdaq: KHC) announced today that its 100% owned subsidiary Kraft Heinz Foods Company (the "Issuer") is increasing the maximum combined aggregate purchase price (the "Maximum Tender Amount") of its outstanding 3.500% senior notes due June 2022 (the "June 2022 Notes"), 3.500% senior notes due July 2022 (the "July 2022 Notes"), 4.000% senior notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes") and 4.875% second lien senior secured notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes" and, together with the June 2022 Notes, the July 2022 Notes and the 2023 Notes, the "Notes" and each, a "Series" of Notes) to be purchased by the Issuer pursuant to its previously announced offer to purchase for cash (the "Tender Offer") to $2.5 billion, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, from the previously announced Maximum Tender Amount of $1,000,000,000. Subject to the Maximum Tender Amount, the amount of a Series of Notes that is purchased in the Tender Offer will be based on the Acceptance Priority Levels set forth below.
The other terms of the Tender Offer remain unchanged. The Tender Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated September 11, 2019, as amended by a supplement dated September 11, 2019 (together, the "Offer to Purchase").
Consummation of the Tender Offer and payment for the tendered Notes is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the completion by the Issuer of a private offering (the "Offering") of $1 billion aggregate principal amount of its 3.750% notes due 2030, $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% notes due 2039 and $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of its 4.875% notes due 2049 that commenced and priced today, on terms and subject to conditions reasonably satisfactory to Kraft Heinz, as well as other customary conditions.
Kraft Heinz also issued a notice of conditional partial redemption providing for the redemption of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer's remaining outstanding 2.800% senior notes due 2020, at a redemption price of 100%, plus the applicable redemption premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, October 11, 2019, the expected redemption date (the "Redemption"). The Redemption is also conditioned upon the Issuer's completion of the Offering.
Subject to applicable law, the Issuer has reserved the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to at any time (i) waive any and all conditions to the Tender Offer, (ii) extend, terminate or withdraw the Tender Offer, (iii) increase or waive the Maximum Tender Amount, with or without extending the Withdrawal Deadline (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) or (iv) otherwise amend the Tender Offer in any respect.
The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 8, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated as described in the Offer to Purchase (such time and date, as they may be extended, the "Expiration Time"). Holders of the Notes ("Holders") may withdraw their validly tendered Notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 24, 2019, unless extended. Holders are urged to read the Offer to Purchase carefully before making any decision with respect to the Tender Offer.
Certain information regarding the Notes and the Tender Offer is set forth in the table below.

3.500% Senior Notes due June 2022

(1) Fixed Spread includes the Early Tender Premium.
(2) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase (the "Early Tender Premium").
Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 24, 2019, unless extended with respect to any Series of Notes (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Early Tender Time") or earlier terminated by the Issuer, will be eligible to receive the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), which includes the applicable Early Tender Premium as set forth in the table above. The applicable total consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread over the bid-side yield of the applicable reference security, calculated as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on September 25, 2019. Holders of Notes who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Notes after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time will be eligible to receive only the applicable Late Tender Offer Consideration, which is equal to the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration minus the applicable Early Tender Premium.
For Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time, not subsequently validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase, the Issuer has the option for settlement to occur on the Early Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), which is expected to be September 26, 2019, the second business day following the Early Tender Time. Settlement for Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time, but at or prior to the Expiration Time, is expected to occur on October 9, 2019, the business day following the Expiration Time, unless extended.
In addition, all Notes accepted for purchase will be entitled to receipt of accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Notes from the last interest payment date to, but excluding, the applicable settlement date.
Subject to the Maximum Tender Amount, the application of the Acceptance Priority Levels and the other terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, the Issuer intends to accept for purchase all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time. However, if the Tender Offer is fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Time, Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase. Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase in priority to the other Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time even if such Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than the Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time. As a result, each Holder who validly tenders Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer may have a portion of its Notes returned to it, and the amount of Notes returned will depend on the level of participation of Holders in the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of Notes that is validly tendered is greater than the Maximum Tender Amount.
Kraft Heinz has engaged BofA Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, and J.P. Morgan to act as dealer managers (collectively, the "Dealer Managers") in connection with the Tender Offer and has appointed Global Bondholders Services Corporation to serve as the tender agent and information agent for the Tender Offer. Copies of the Offer to Purchase are available at https://www.gbsc-usa.com/kraftheinzcompany/ or by contacting Global Bondholders Services Corporation via telephone by calling +1 (866) 794-2200 (toll free) or +1 212-430-3774 (for banks and brokers). Questions regarding the terms of the Tender Offer should be directed to BofA Merrill Lynch at (980) 387-3907 (toll free) or (888) 292-0070 (collect), Citigroup at (800) 558-3745 (toll free) or (212) 723-6106 (collect), Goldman Sachs & Co.

Neither the Issuer, Kraft Heinz, their boards of directors or boards of managers, as applicable, the Dealer Managers, Global Bondholders Services Corporation nor the trustees for the Notes, or any of their respective affiliates, is making any recommendation as to whether Holders should tender any Notes in response to the Tender Offer. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Notes and, if so, the principal amounts of Notes to tender.

Report calls for made-in-Canada fixed wing plane policy
Canada needs new search planes, and some foreign manufacturers could get the contracts, to the chagrin of Canada's aerospace players.
Business Operations
government funding
royal canadian air force
OTTAWA: The Harper government should be looking into a made-in-Canada solution to its search-and-rescue woes, especially when it comes to buying new fixed-wing planes, a new report suggests.
The study, funded by the Centre for Policy Alternatives and the Rideau Institute, was to be released Tuesday at a news conference in Ottawa, but an advance copy was obtained by The Canadian Press.
National Defence has been fuzzy in laying out its expectations for the new search planes, which have been proposed for nearly a decade, warns the report, which raises concern the process will favour large, multinational aircraft-makers—such as US-based Lockheed Martin, Bell-Boeing Co., European aerospace-owned Airbus Inc., and Alenia Aeronautica, of Italy.
Both Montreal-based Bombardier Inc. and Viking Air of Saanich, BC, are interested in participating in the $3.8 billion program, which the Conservatives have tried and failed to push forward since being elected in 2006.
"The Canadian government should ensure the (statement of requirements) does not preclude consideration of made-in-Canada aircraft," said the report, penned by University of British Columbia professor Michael Byers and research associate Stewart Webb.
At issue is the air force's apparent reluctance to consider mixed fleets of aircraft.
Right now, a handful of C-115 Buffalos and C-138 Twin Otters and older versions of C-130 transport planes are used for search operations across the country's 9.9 million square kilometres.
The government has yet to issue a call to replace them and isn't expected to do so for perhaps another year, but the air force has argued in the past in favour of single fleets, which don't require separate repair and supply chains.
In meetings with the defence industry, the government has signalled that it's looking for novel solutions, which include not only providing an aircraft and maintaining them, but suggestions on where to base the planes and possibly boost coverage.
Both Canadian aircraft on offer would be suitable for search operations along the West Coast, where aviation experts say mountain creases and folds require slower speed and manoeuvrability, but they might be hard-pressed to meet the air force's desire for speed and range in the rest of the country.
"These different needs point in the direction of a multi-type fleet with a slower aircraft for the West Coast and a faster and long-range aircraft for Central, Eastern and Arctic Canada," said the report.
The study says the federal government should rule out the purchase of the Bell-Boeing-manufactured V-22 Osprey, which was highlighted by the company at a recent military trade show in Ottawa.
The tilt-wing aircraft, which takes off like a helicopter and flies like a fixed-wing plane, is used by the US Marines. It has been touted by Boeing officials as an ideal candidate to replace the fixed-wing search planes and augment Cormorant rescue helicopters, which have often been grounded because of spare parts issues.
"Speed is life and the Canadian area of responsibility is huge," said Bob Carrese, director of international business development at Bell Helicopter, which is partnered with Boeing. "We do meet all of the essential elements with this platform, just as a fixed-wing airplane, but we bring the option for a SAR team to actually make the rescue."
The current fixed-wing fleet "just does search and assist," he noted.
But the Byers-Webb report argues that Osprey is "unproven technology" with uncertain data on how often the aircraft is available for missions and has a question mark over the cost of maintenance and repair.
Carrese said the V-22 is recognized as one of the "healthier" US defence projects that's now on time and under-budget.
Parliament debated a motion almost two weeks ago to improve search-and-rescue operations.
It called on the Harper government to halt the planned closures of co-ordination centres in St. John's, NL, Quebec and Vancouver. The motion was defeated by the Conservative majority.

While it is much quieter and typically isn't considered a tourism hot spot, there are plenty of unique things to do in Gosport to make it worth a visit.
The best time of year to visit Gosport is during the summer months when you have a better chance of warm temperatures and sunny days. It never gets sweltering in England, but the summer will give you a much better opportunity for boating weather. The winter months in Gosport are cold, with temperatures hovering just above freezing, and lots of wind and rain.
To get to Gosport, you can arrive by ferry to Portsmouth if you're coming from parts of Spain and France. The closest airport to Gosport is Southampton, which is a 30-minute drive. Gosport is well-connected to other cities in Hampshire and England. You can also take a train to nearby Portsmouth Harbor.

Girls who are severely obese have a lower risk for cardiometabolic risk factors than do severely obese boys, found a new study, but both sexes have higher risks than their counterparts who are not as obese.
Researchers found that children and teens with the highest obesity levels had high blood pressure, insulin resistance, high LDL cholesterol, and other outcomes that can raise cardiometabolic risks. The study was jointly conducted by the University of North Carolina and Wake Forest School of Medicine and was published in the Oct. 1 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"What this study really tells us is that we need to be focusing on kids with the highest levels of obesity," said study co-author and child obesity specialist Joseph A. Skelton, MD, of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C.
"About 5% of kids -- which translates into a couple of million -- actually have a very, very high risk for cardiometabolic problems later in life," he told MedPage Today.
He added that targeting these severely obese kids for aggressive cardiometabolic screening and prevention just makes sense.
"We have limited resources to help kids who are obese," he said, adding that directing these resources to less severely obese children further limits the ability to help those with the highest risk for developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other obesity-related conditions later in life.
Skelton and colleagues analyzed nationally representative data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2012 to determine the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in children and young adults according to the severity of their obesity.
Their sample included 8,579 children and teens, ages 3 to 19, with BMIs in the 85th percentile or higher. About half (47%) were classified as overweight (≥85th to <95th percentile), while 36% fell in the class I obesity range (≥95th to <120% of the 95th percentile), and 12% were in the class II obesity range (≥120% to <140% of the 95th percentile or a BMI ≥35).
Close to 5% of the children and teens in the sample were in the class III obesity range (≥140% of the 95th percentile or BMI of 40 or greater).
Among children ages 6 to 11, class III obesity was associated with a 7-fold greater prevalence of abnormal systolic blood pressure (SBP), compared to those classified as overweight (22.48% versus 3.15%; P<0.001). Teens (ages 12-19) in class III were more than twice as likely as those classified as overweight to show abnormal SBP (prevalence 7.63% versus 3.26%; P=0.03).
Class II and III older children and teens in the analysis had a higher risk for most other cardiometabolic risk factors analyzed than those who were not as severely obese.
In models that controlled for age, race or ethnic group, and sex, the risk of low HDL cholesterol, high SBP, high diastolic blood pressure (DBP), high triglyceride level, and high HbA1c percentage were greater among children and teens with class II obesity than among those with class I obesity.
But sex-stratified analyses showed that class II-III obesity correlated with other cardiometabolic risk factors only among boys.
"There were few significant differences in these variables according to weight category among female participants, but all the differences remained significant among male participants," the researchers wrote. "As expected, overweight children and young adults had a lower risk of most risk factors than did those with class I obesity."
Study limitations cited by the researchers included the cross-sectional design of the study, which limited its ability to show causality. The sample size among very young children was also very small, and the researchers warned that the findings in this group must be interpreted with caution.
Skelton told MedPage Today that pediatric growth charts should be revised to make it easier to identify kids with the most severe obesity.
The researchers recommended the inclusion of class II and class III obesity in standard obesity classification models for children.
The researchers declared no relevant relationships with industry related to this research.

Beastie Boys Want Sampling Lawsuit Dismissed
The Beastie Boys want the lawsuit laid at their doorstep by Trouble Funk dropped. The go-go band claims that the group illegally utilized samples from their music on 'Licensed to Ill' and 'Paul's Boutique,' which were the Beasties' first two records. The Beasties, on the other hand, think Trouble Funk are full of it and grasping at straws.
TufAmerica, Trouble Funk's label, filed suit back in May, right before the death of Adam Yauch, aka MCA, who was a founding member of the hip-hop trio. His passing delayed the suit, which claims copyright infringement, unjust enrichment and misappropriation. A permanent injunction on the sale of the records with the samples and punitive damages are being sought.
According to Rolling Stone, the Beasties aren't just laying down and taking it. They claim that there is no substantial similarity between their songs and those of Trouble Funk. They also note that more than 20 years passed between the release of the records and the filing of the suit, so they question why the timing of the legal action.
Looks like this is one is a matter for the courts to hash out.

Question: Please help. I think that Patrick Cassidy was the male lead in the short-lived television series Dirty Dancing. It starred Melora Hardin and, I think, Cassidy. I can't find proof of it on the Internet. I ask because Patrick Cassidy is the name of one of the leads in the Broadway tour of Aida, and I have a bet with co-workers about the TV show. Thanks. Heather
Televisionary: You think right, Heather.
The dashing Mr. Cassidy, who currently portrays Radames in Disney's national tour of Aida, filled the role of Johnny Castle in the TV version of the movie. (For those of you who perhaps spent a few years in an isolation tank in the late '80s, Patrick Swayze played the part on the big screen.) You may also have caught him in the short-lived Steven Bochco series Bay City Blues.
On the show, Cassidy starred opposite Ms. Hardin, as you say, who played Baby, and McLean Stevenson (M*A*S*H, Hello, Larry), who played resort owner Max Kellerman. Another notable in the cast (although certainly not then) was actor Paul Feig, who portrayed irritating student/waiter Norman Bryant and went on to co-create the most excellent Freaks and Geeks.
Mr. Cassidy got a heapin' helpin' of his family's entertainer genes. Relatives who are also in the public eye include his show-biz vet brothers Shaun (who co-starred in The Hardy Boys and created such series as American Gothic and USA Network's Cover Me) and David (best known as Keith Partridge in The Partridge Family).

A past co-worker's son Stan got married and I was pleased to enjoy the celebration. I saw some old work friends and had a fantastic time. Good food, fun times and lovely company. The highlight was the Best Man's speech. After the maid and matron of honor gave their speeches it was time for the Best Man to say a few words. John (the older identical twin) provided everyone with a string of good laughs.
"I have a High School story too. You may not know this but Stan and I used to trade classes in High School all the time and we just pulled off the biggest switch-a-roo! I hate to tell you this Grace, but you just married John. " The whole place erupted into a hysterical laughter. Once the laughing settles John continued:
"All kidding aside. You married Stan....but are you sure?" There was some more laughing and both bride and groom were blushing.
"So I met Stan in the womb.....about 30 years ago. I think I kicked him in the stomach and then he twisted my knee and it's been like that ever since. So going back to another High School story. One day we were driving home from school when Stan looks over at me and says 'Hey you want to come over to my house and hang out for a while?'" Everyone laughs again. Stan has his head hung low shaking it back and forth.
"So you may not be getting the best looking or smartest twin but you certainly got the most loving. Here's to love and your marriage."
I never heard such a great speech. I think that was worth the long drive up there.

Billy Vunipola praying for Six Nations miracle after fracturing his forearm in second game back after four months out
Boss Eddie Jones now has a dilemma at No8 with third choice Sam Simmonds in line for a call-up
BILLY VUNIPOLA is praying for a Six Nations miracle after fracturing his arm.
England's star no.8 will find out how long he will be out for when he visits a specialist this week to get the cracked bone in his forearm checked out.
But it doesn't look great for the world-class 25-year-old who missed the Lions tour with a shoulder injury and then most of this season for Saracens after ripping knee ligaments.
Cursed Vunipola was taking part in just his second game back after four months out when he crunched his arm trying to make a tackle in Saturday's 15-15 draw at Ospreys.
Yesterday he uploaded a pic on Instagram of him running out at the Liberty Stadium and said: "One of these days I might actually be able to play more than two games without breaking (no pun intended). I said it before and I'll say again.
"God has a plan for me, it's just hard having to be patient! #gratefulheart"
Confirming the worse, Saracens said: "Billy is due to see a specialist later this week, when a timeframe for recovery may be defined.
"But until that time Saracens will make no further comment. Saracens will issue a further statement once Billy has seen a specialist."
HASK HELL England forward James Haskell's comeback hanging by a thread after he saw red for late Jamie Roberts smash
During the game Sarries no.2 Alex Sanderson said the 34-capped bull-dozing back-rower didn't have any feeling in his wrist after suffering the injury after 40 minutes.
Last February prop Joe Marler revelled he had played a full game with an undiagnosed broken leg and then credited drinking two pints of milk a day to get him fit for the Six Nations in just four weeks.
And last year Vunipola played just once for England in their successful Six Nations defence as he had another four months out with his own knee issues.
That cameo in defeat to Ireland in Dublin was the only time he managed to make it onto the pitch for his country after a nightmare 2017 wrecked by injuries.
Boss Eddie Jones names his Six Nations squad on Thursday and is now down to just his third-choice no.8 - Sam Simmonds.
Wasps bruiser Nathan Hughes is out for at least the first three games against Italy, Wales and Scotland after picking up a knee injury.
Former England captain Chris Robshaw could fill in at the base of the scrum, but that would only be a short-term solution.
Rookie and apprentice player Zach Mercer is another in the reckoning and the Bath man, 20, could get his debut sooner than expected after the latest injury crisis.
But James Haskell, more a flanker than no.8, will now also miss a large chunk of Championship as he faces the prospect of a six-week ban after being sent off for smashing Jamie Roberts in the head with a late tackle at The Stoop on Saturday.
most read in rugby union
Haskell will be cited on Monday and most likely have his hearing either tomorrow or Wednesday.
After apologising to Wales and Lions centre Roberts, the Harlequins man tweeted: "Thanks for the messages guys. Head's ok. Enjoyed that win with this resilient group of @Harlequins lads.
"Hope your shoulder is ok after colliding with this jaw @jameshaskell - Good man for apologising....just bend those arthritic knees next time pal ;)".

Thus saith the Lord God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob
This do I say unto thee as I have afore said in times past this day as is revealed in My Most Holy Word and will again repeat unto thee that there should be no mistake as to whom the true Messiah was is and ever shall be who shall come at last to take unto Himself all who belong unto Him to dwell in the Heaven of Heavens even at the end of Days forever and that there is but one Name by which He is to be called by mankind and that Name is the only one whereby mankind can be saved from the wrath to come there is none other and that Name hath been set down in My Word both in what thou doth call the Old and the New testaments it is the true and only Name of the Messiah and no other Name that the true and only saviour is so to be called and is acceptable unto Me saith the Holy One of Israel. The Spirit and My written Word in context both new and old do agree and concur that this Name was set down in the writings of the prophets of old and in the fulfilment of the coming of the Messiah of which His Mother at birth so Named Him even Immanuel which means God dwelling amongst mankind. Thus say I unto thee that if anyone doth seek salvation and to enter into the Heaven of Heavens before My throne to dwell forever they must be washed in the blood of the true and only eternal Passover Lamb and must believe in and accept Him as their saviour of which He did say when on earth none of mankind can come unto the Father except through Me and that also is written that no one can be saved from Judgment and the wrath to come except by the Name of the only true Messiah and saviour for it is He who alone did die on the Roman Cross taking on Himself all the sins and crimes of those of mankind who had in the past believed in the coming Messiah and where raised up after His resurrection and seen of many in Jerusalem and those at the time He dwelt on Earth of whom He taught the way to everlasting Life and all of those of mankind who would come to believe in Him of mankind He did go down in to the grave and into the bottomless pit on their behalf of whose sacrifice was accepted by Me saith the Holy One of Israel and because of that acceptance and because He was without sin and infinitely perfect was raise up from amongst the dead so that all those who came to believe in Him would be resurrected in this life from amongst the dead of this evil and perverse generation and then as He ascended into the Heaven of Heavens they too through His ascension would at the end of their earthly Life ascend into the heaven of heavens there to dwell before My Throne forever and I will set forth the Only true Name once again of the Messiah to assure all that there is but one Name only by which mankind can be saved from the wrath to come and that Name is IMMANUEL
This is the Word of the Lord God unto thee
From the prophet of the Lord

OK, this "time flies" thing is really starting to flip me out. When I was five, an additional 15 minutes in the car on the way to grandma's house was the most agonizing period time I could imagine anyone enduring. Now multiple hours evaporate every time I blink my eyes. I was certain that we'd blogged about the pending move of the Lombardi's Taverna Pizzeria, like, a couple of months ago at the most. Turns out is was more like last year.

At any rate, the employees are done lifting boxes and they're back to sharpening knives. The new location opened earlier this week on Knox Street, right next to sister restaurant Toulouse. Now you can park the car and have your choice of pizza or steak frittes within a few steps of each other.

You might miss that quaint, little house with a front porch on Armstrong Avenue. Of all the Lombardi spaces it had the most charm. Of course, when words like "charming" or "cozy" are used to describe real estate, they usually just mean small. And if you ever had a drink at the bar while waiting for a table, "cramped" might have been a more suitable adjective.
"Tight-knit" is another good one, which is how the 54-seat dining room at the new spot is billed. There's no front porch, but there's a patio and it's climate controlled. And most importantly they've expanded the bar. Fans who love Taverna's pizza could probably see themselves spending some time there. But hopefully not too much -- that stuff is precious.

Investigative Perceptions Explored at SUNY Canton's Law Enforcement DayWednesday, March 22nd, 2017
SUNY Canton's seventh annual Law Enforcement Day will feature new crime scene investigation methodology and will show the limited-distribution documentary by a north country native filmmaker.
Law Enforcement Day 2017 is titled "Investigative Perceptions" and will begin at 9 a.m. Monday (March 27) in the college's Kingston Theater. It is held by the college's Criminal Investigation and Criminal Justice departments to highlight the latest trends and developments in the law enforcement industry. All sessions are free and open to the public, but are specifically designed for current and future police officers.
Feature presentations include:
- A Victim Centered Death Investigations session will run from 9 to 11 a.m. with Laura G. Pettler, Ph.D., a noted authority on physical and behavioral evidence. Pettler is an expert on crime scene staging, or the manipulation of evidence to misdirect an investigation. The presentation will offer a step-by-step demonstration on how to identify, analyze, and evaluate homicide cases while preventing a case from going cold.
- The keynote presentation will start at 1 p.m. and will include a screening of "Officer Involved," an unreleased film exploring perspectives in contemporary American policing. The film's director and Ogdensburg native Patrick Shaver will provide the introduction and will lead a conversation at the conclusion of the movie. Shaver documented the detailed perspectives of American police officers involved in shootings. Officer Involved was an official selection of the 2016 Knoxville Film Festival.
Criminal Justice, Criminal Investigation and related two- and four-year programs are among the most popular degrees offered at the college. SUNY Canton is also home to the state-certified David Sullivan-St. Lawrence County Law Enforcement Academy, which trains the majority of the North Country's police force.

Nokia's 41-Megapixel Phone May be Headed To The U.S.
Nokia may be bringing the Nokia PureView 808, its smartphone with a mammoth 41-megapixel built-in camera, to the United States.
Announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this year, the phone combines a high-resolution sensor with Carl Zeiss optics and Nokia-developed algorithms to create a smartphone camera like no other out there.
While the 41-megapixel number certainly sounds impressive, what's really fantastic about the Nokia PureView 808 is what it does with those pixels. The 808 uses a new pixel oversampling technology that captures seven pixels of information, and then condenses all seven into one single pixel. The result is an exceptionally sharp 5-megapixel picture.
Unlike your traditional 5-megapixel picture, however, you can zoom in on any part of the photograph and still see everything clearly, thanks to there essentially being seven pixels where the traditional photo would have one.
Nokia posted teaser images on its U.S. Facebook fanpage Friday, with Monday's date, which also happens to be the date of Microsoft's mystery event, leading many to believe that Microsoft was perhaps planning a tablet announcement involving Nokia.
All Things D points out, however, that one of the images posted on Nokia's fanpage shows Hawaii, which has the area code 808, the same as the model number of the phone. A coincidence that suggests Nokia's big announcement Monday has to do with the 808 and not anything Microsoft related.
The 808 is a Symbian phone, so if it does make its way to the U.S. it will likely be sold unlocked, meaning it won't be tied to a particular carrier, but you'll also have to pay full price for it.
What do you think of Nokia's 41-megapixel smartphone? Would you buy one if the handset became available in the U.S.? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

March15,2013 Global status report on road safety
AT&T Don't Text While Driving Documentary ( Video Inside)
YASA and LASIP advice to avoid the increase of injuries resulting from road collisions on New Year's Eve
Make sure that the mattress is comfortable, suitable and properly fit in the child bed.
(CNN) -- Google has revealed a prototype of its latest driverless car -- and this one doesn't even have a steering wheel.
The car will only have a stop and go button. No steering wheel. No pedals.
Unlike Google's previous self-driving vehicles, which have been based on conventional cars adapted to navigate around without a driver, this model has been designed from scratch.
"They won't have a steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal... because they don't need them," Google said in a statement.
The car can carry two passengers and has a maximum speed of 25 miles per hour.
Google says the car's most important feature is its safety.
"They have sensors that remove blind spots, and they can detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions, which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections," the company said.
With its front designed to look like a friendly smiley face, the Google autonomous car is not just efficient and futuristic, but also cute to look at.
Google said it planned to build around 100 prototypes, which it will start testing in a few months.
The company started developing its self-driving cars in 2005, and is testing previous models across the U.S. They are expected to be available to buy by 2020.

The Basics:
Final Score: Siena Heights 2, Cornerstone 1
Location: Adrian, Mich. (O'Laughlin Stadium)
Records: SHU 12-1-0 (5-1-0) Cornerstone 5-7-0 (1-5-0)
How It Happened:
The Saints came out of the gate shooting. SHU was able to tally 12 shots just in the first half compared to the Golden Eagles three. Siena got their first goal of the game by Danielle Eastman (Senior, Clark Lake, Mich.) who scored unassisted in the 26th minute. Later in the half Cornerstone would strike back to tie the game up at 1 heading into halftime.
The second half was a back and forth battle between both teams. A lot of midfield action took place as a combined 12 shots were taken from both teams. As nobody could land one in the back of the net, the game was heading into overtime.
Siena had some great scoring chances in the first overtime but couldn't score. As the game headed to double overtime the Saints were outshooting the Golden Eagles 24-8. The game was finally put to an end a thrilling way as Eastman would strike again and score in the 101st minute.
Top Saints:

Many conditions cause loss of coordination and motor capabilities in the extremities. One such condition is stroke, which affects approximately 15 million people worldwide each year. Many robotic systems have been developed to assist in the physical and neurological rehabilitation of patients who have suffered a stroke. As a result of this project an actuator, to be used for hand rehabilitation, by means of visual processing and Bowden cables, was designed. This project aims to use the design of the actuator combined with gamification elements to create an interface to be used in future robotic rehabilitation systems as well as address the compliance problem found in rehabilitation.

RI Striper Fishing Turns Spotty, but Hotspots Remain
Posted by
This is the time of year where you just never know what to expect. Most fishermen have given up on the oceanfront, as there has been almost no one fishing all week. Earlier in the week, my son Ben called me from the oceanfront. He was out fishing and tried all the usual late fall hotspots with no success. He asked if I had any suggestions where he might find some fish. I told him a story about what happened to me about twenty years ago. At the time, late November, the fishing had been pretty much dead for a week and everyone gave up, but I decided to go try anyway. I went on a whim to a location off the beaten path where no one fishes in late fall. And, yes, I found fish — tons of them.
I told him to try that spot. Two hours later he called back reporting he caught a good number of stripers. They were all schoolies, but some were near keeper size. I went down the next day to the same location and on my third cast a keeper grabbed my shrimp fly teaser. I got quite a few more schoolies that evening.
Contrast that experience with the one I had earlier in the week, when I went to the ocean and it just looked dead. There were few fishermen around which is always a bad sign. Except for a gannet here and there diving way out, I saw no evidence of any bait and the water was unusually rough and sandy in spots. I fished that area from Matunuck to Charlestown, a real good stretch of shoreline at this time of year. After four hours of fishing, it looked like I was going to blank and finally I got my first schoolie at 3:30 in the afternoon. Quickly, I landed nine more in one particular spot on Cocahoes and teasers right before dark. These were all very small fish running 12-15 inches. These small ones are yet another sign that things are coming to an end. I've decided my strategy is to start hitting the winter spots that have holdover fish. I suspect those places will start producing soon if they haven't already.
So, you just never know at this time of year. Just when you think the fishing is dying out, a pod of fish comes through, and it can be hot for a day or two. It will continue like this for the next couple of weeks along the oceanfront. You have to just get out and give it a try. My suggestion is to move around a lot and look at different spots. Schoolies will be the fish that are most abundant and they will readily take single-hooked jigs (Cocahoes on jigheads or small bucktails) that will cause little or no damage to the fish. However, don't be surprised if you hook a keeper or a large bluefish in the mix. It can happen at this time of year.

Years ago, I was scheduled to speak before an Indiana House of Representatives committee hearing on a smoke-free workplace bill. The room was packed with doctors, nurses, health-organization advocates and citizens from all over the state—people affected by cancer, heart disease, asthma, sudden infant death syndrome and more.
On the other side of the issue were tobacco companies, bar owners, gambling advocates and a few libertarians. They and their lobbyists packed the room, too.
Only one person got to speak that day before the committee ran out of time, killing the bill for another year.
I stood, dejected, in the hallway. The committee chairman came up to me. He said he was sorry. He said they'd try again the following year.
I said something about all the people who die each year from smoking and secondhand smoke, and how the Legislature's delay and inaction had sentenced thousands more to death.
He said he understood, but that I needed to understand that issues introduced in the Legislature often take 10 years to move from concept to law.
I wanted to cry.
"There are two things you don't want to see being made—sausage and legislation," German Chancellor Otto von Bismark said more than a century ago.
While the sausage-factory comparison is familiar, many legislative bodies, including Indiana's, equally deserve the moniker "slow-motion hypocrisy factory."
Take local government reform.
One highlight of my consulting career was working with former Indiana Gov. Joe Kernan and then-Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Randy Shepard on a public/private commission appointed by then-Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels. The charge: Reform bloated, inefficient, less-than-transparent local government.
The simple premise: Many aspects of Indiana's local government structure date to the 1850s. They don't work well. Yet reform efforts have failed for nearly a century.
So commission members weighed decades of ideas from Indiana and best practices from other states. They arrived unanimously at 27 recommendations.
"In concert and quickly implemented," says the commission report, "[the 27 reforms] will achieve their intended aim. Taken piecemeal or prolonged, we'll be doing this again many years and many dollars from now."
Predictably, the suggested reforms have been taken piecemeal, prolonged or dumped altogether. One common legislative lament was that local communities—not state legislators in Indianapolis—should determine local government policies and structure on a case-by-case basis.
Fast forward to 2013.
State legislators, without apparent support from the local community, introduced legislation to reform Indianapolis-Marion County government—giving more power to the mayor and eliminating four at-large City-County Council seats. The bill passed the Senate and cleared a House committee on April 2, with language giving the mayor extra power left in but the at-large council seat language stripped out.
Local government reform, it seems, is meddling when legislators don't like it and meritorious when they do.
Asked if Marion County voters should decide instead of legislators from outside the city, the bill's sponsor told The Indianapolis Star he opposes referendums.
"Legislators," he said, "are elected to represent people and decide these issues."
In that same legislators-know-best spirit, an Indiana Senate committee has punted on a measure that would have allowed central Indiana residents to conduct a referendum on expanded mass transit. The committee, instead, relegated the studied-to-death issue to a study committee.
On the other hand, a referendum was the General Assembly's magic wand when it wanted to freeze property taxes statewide while allowing local school districts to raise additional dollars if their citizens approved the increases at the ballot box.
Referendums, apparently, are bad except when they're good.
Education in general is fair game for the legislative hypocrite's oath. On the one hand, elected officials are applying increased pressure on colleges and universities to graduate bachelor's-level students within four years and to do so at lower cost.
On the other hand, the General Assembly fails to fund the early-childhood education programs that have proven the most cost-effective means to prepare children to learn. Lawmakers also refuse to mandate kindergarten for all Indiana children, and insist that colleges and universities handle the remediation for poorly prepared students.
In other words, legislators don't want to pay to get kids ready to learn, but they sure want colleges to have them ready to earn.
Finally, speaking of earning, wasn't it just a few months ago that all the politicians were saying jobs are job one?
I remember the headlines:
"Mike Pence wins governor's race centered on jobs, economy."
"Pence declares focus is jobs."
"Pence to tackle jobs, economic rebound."
Yet at the slow-motion hypocrisy factory, we spend most of our time on issues that have nothing to do with job creation and that, on the contrary, damage our state's reputation as a place to live and work.
It's enough to make you cry—or at least appoint a study committee.•

When you work so hard to design, build and test prototypes, and then tweak that design before going into production with a completely new boat .... it's a big thing! It's an even bigger thing if you did it last year in a terrible economy. It's an even bigger thing if you are an independent boat builder — one of only a handful left still standing. So it's only natural that once you'd achieved this, you'd want to share it with the media who could help you "get the word out" fast.
So it was that Power Boating Canada once again received our annual invitation to "come on down to the cottage" and test the new models that Stingray Boats would be unveiling for 2011. It would be my first trip down to a Stingray media test day.
The flight down was great, but it didn't hit me until there I was standing on the dock, clutching a coffee to stay warm in the cold October morning air, face to face with Stingray owner Al Fink and his crew: "this was a big day for Stingray", and Al stood right in the middle of it grinning like a proud father showing off his children's accomplishments. I know that feeling well.
As the morning dew was being dried off and the boats started, I was taking notes on the first new model I would test, the 215LR sport deck bow rider. Al came up behind me and said "I'm very interested in hearing your comments after you run this one out." Obviously, he knew something I didn't — yet.
The 215LR is the bow rider version that Stingray appropriately, as you'll learn later, calls a sport deck. She has a sistership, the 215 CR cuddy cabin that sat on the other side of the finger dock that morning, based on the very same exact hull design. (See PBC 25-6 for the Test Report on that hot number.)
It's obvious that attention to detail is a part of the Stingray design philosophy. Right from the way the entire itinerary was organized, to the popup cleats and the gunwale step protection plate (so you're not walking on the gel coat every time you enter and exit). And the Taylor Made wrap around windshield that still to this day includes the pop-out side vent windows so necessary for shoulder season boating in Canada. It's nice to see that as models morph from one year to the next, some of the little things that were — and are — such great ideas, don't get scrapped on the design table and simply left behind as old outdated news.
I stepped aboard the integrated swim platform and noted the two cupholders, moulded-in transom cooler under the swim platform seat, and stereo remote. A starboard walk thru transom brings you into the cockpit with a removable cooler and small sink built into the starboard side. This is so perfect for young families (who after all are the main target market of this type of boat). I'd like to see the drink holder moved, or made removable in future years, so that the full counter top would be useful.
An L-shaped bench seat goes across the stern and wraps to the port side, and there are twin bucket seats which swivel to face the stern bench. I took the time to put the large rectangular table up (it's stored under the sun pad, over the engine), and it's great! Large enough for kids to play games on, large enough to serve a family lunch on.
Moving forward through the walk thru windshield, you'll find a day head to port in front of the companion bucket seat. The port-pottie is built in, but you may have to duck. Nonetheless, it sure beats having to go back to shore to do your business, and having a regular toilet on the boat for the kids makes them feel that much more comfortable.
The bow area is spacious thanks to the wide-body stance that allows the beam to carry far forward. Unlike many bow riders that come to a point, the 215 LR is more blunt nosed allowing for a forward step and a re-boarding ladder hidden under the forward hatch (and anchor locker). The step is placed in between the two forward facing sun lounges without sacrificing any leg room. In fact, it's quite comfortable up there with the well padded seatbacks and single grab handle. (Moms will even feel comfortable with kids up font given the 31 inches of freeboard.) There are even four cup holders hidden under the gunwales.
Back at he helm, I fired the Mercruiser 5.0 L MPI engine and let it warm up. I popped the engine compartment to find ample storage on either side of the engine (and storage for the cockpit table up under the sunpad.)
The dash is a well laid out standard array of gauges set into gray fiberglass and protected by an eyebrow. I headed out to run the proven Stingray Z-plane hull through our test protocol.
This little rocketship had me up on place in an incredible 2.4 seconds! Acceleration all through the mid-range was consistent and powerful and I reached a top speed of 54.7 mph @ 4500 rpm fully trimmed out. The hull responds quickly and predictably to rolling turns and sharp cornering. It feels like it wants to run and play, no hesitation, no lag from throttle input to on-water reaction, it's an instant response.
That's due in part to the patented "ZP hull" that Stingray's are noted for. It's subtle thing, a brilliant tweaking of the design of the strakes along the full length of the hull. There's no "dip" in the strakes resulting in a perfectly clean hull that delivers undisturbed water to the prop for better performance.
In my test of the 215 CR buddy cabin, I wrote that: "The 215CR is a trailerable cuddy that's built for the guy who's starting a new family, wants to take them out on the water to share his passion, but isn't yet ready to give up the true performance and speed of his old boat. It's a four-door family sedan with race car engine performance under the hood." Well, the 215 LR sport deck model is the convertible version of the family sedan: "performance and space with the top down."

Giants vs. Redskins: Game time, live stream, TV coverage
The New York Giants will travel to Landover, Maryland to face the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field on Sunday.
After the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys lost on Thursday, the winner of this game could seize control of the NFC East Division.
The Giants are coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Patriots at the last second as Stephen Gostkowski hit a 54-yard field goal with one second remaining to give New England a 27-26 win. Manning threw for 361 yards and connected with receiver Odell Beckham Jr. for 104 of those yards.
The Redskins look to continue their four-game winning streak at home. Washington fell at the hands of the Carolina Panthers when Cam Newton threw for a career-high five touchdowns in the Panthers' 44-16 win. The Redskins turned the ball over five times to give up 27 points. Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins turned the ball over five times. The Redskins were held to 14 yards rushing on 12 carries.
