As the 'spearhead' of the ground-based missile interceptor, Raytheon's upgraded Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle played a vital role in a non-intercept flight test of Boeing's Ground-based Midcourse Defense program.
The EKV locks on and eliminates high-speed ballistic missile warheads in space using nothing more than the sheer force of impact, known as a "hit-to-kill" defense.
"Today's test allowed us to challenge the EKV in a series of realistic outer-space environments, which gives us a broad range of data prior to moving toward an intercept scenario," said Wes Kremer, Raytheon's vice president of Air and Missile Defense Systems.
A target missile launch was not planned for this flight test. After performing fly out maneuvers, the three-stage booster deployed the Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle to a designated point in space. After separating from the booster, the Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle executed a variety of pre-planned maneuvers to collect performance data in space.
"This is the most complex missile defense mission in the world, and it requires the most advanced kill vehicle in the world," said Steve Nicholls, Raytheon's EKV program director. "The EKV performed extremely well today, and I have great confidence that we'll be able to move toward an intercept flight test this year."
The EKV leverages more than two decades of expertise in kill vehicle technology. It has an advanced, multi-color sensor that detects and discriminates incoming warheads from other objects. The vehicle also carries its own propulsion, communications link, guidance and control system, as well as computers to support target selection and intercept.
Deployed and operational today, the Raytheon EKV has made eight successful intercepts throughout the life of the program.

Child Advocacy Center of Niagara launches Safe Sleep Campaign
The Child Advocacy Center of Niagara has launched a countywide campaign to promote safe sleep practices for infants and lower the incidence of deaths attributed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
The Safe Sleep Campaign will target new parents, caregivers -- including childcare providers and grandparents -- and first responders in a concerted effort to create awareness of the role safe sleep practices play in reducing infant deaths.
According to the American SIDS Institute, a national nonprofit healthcare organization dedicated to the prevention of sudden infant death, SIDS accounts for 2,500 deaths per year in the United States and thousands more throughout the world.
"SIDS is the leading cause of death in infants between one month and one year of age," said Laura Kelemen, executive director of the Child Advocacy Center of Niagara. "During the past two years, five deaths attributed to SIDS occurred in Niagara County. Needless to say, that is five too many."
Niagara County Child Fatality Review Team Coordinator Kim Proch, a Child Advocacy Center staff member, said such deaths can be avoided if safe sleep principles are followed.
"We hope this campaign will teach and inspire others to practice safe sleep with their infants in order prevent these tragic deaths in the future," she said.
Proch said a safe sleep environment is one where an infant sleeps alone, in a crib free from any stuffed animals, blankets, toys, or bumpers. The baby's crib may be in the same room with the caregiver, as long as they do not share a bed with the caregiver.
"Babies who sleep with a parent, sibling or other caregiver are three times more likely to die than babies who sleep alone, in a crib," Proch said.
Implementing safe sleep practices for infants in a safe sleep environment can greatly reduce the risk of SIDS. Since 1992, when the American Academy of Pediatrics suggested placing babies on their backs to sleep alone in a crib, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome deaths have dropped 50 percent according to the National Institutes of Health.
The Child Advocacy Center's Safe Sleep Campaign will promote awareness of safe sleep practices through the distribution of free educational materials such as posters and brochures and by presenting free programs on the topic to civic, service and first response organizations across Niagara County.
To request a free presentation or safe sleep informational materials, call the Child Advocacy Center of Niagara at 716-285-0045 or visit www.CACofNiagara.org.

Fantasy Football Coaching Tips
Part of the Fantasy Football For Dummies Cheat Sheet
After you've built your fantasy football team through the draft, your job truly begins. Coaching your team means compiling a complete lineup each and every week and deciding which players to pick up and which to release and/or trade. Your weekly coaching decisions will make or break your fantasy season, so make smart decisions by using some helpful coaching tips:
Don't panic. The fantasy season is long; think before you trade your studs or dump your sleeper picks.
Check your players' bye weeks. You don't want to get stuck having multiple stars out of action at the same time.
Replace injured players. Check all available player updates to make sure your starting lineup is active.
Assess your team's strengths and weaknesses. Be aware of your team needs when acquiring players and considering trade offers. What positions are solid, and what positions do you need to improve?
Check the free agent pool and waiver wire often. You never know when an owner will drop a player who can help your squad.
Look to exploit favorable matchups and avoid bad ones. Every week, your players' performances will be affected by the quality of their opposition, especially at TE, K, and DEF.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — SPRUCING UP: Corian countertops used in demonstration kitchen.
by Jessica Bagley
TOWN OF TONAWANDA — The DuPont Yerkes plant has donated some of its brand new product to the YMCA Buffalo Niagara for use in its new branch in Amherst.
Plant Manager Warren Hoy said the company donated more than 1,000 square feet of Corian countertops, made in Tonawanda, to the YMCA.
"What is particularly interesting about it is the material used in the Y is that it's our new private collection," Hoy said. "It is some of our newest technology, and it's great they are going to be able to showcase it."
Colors of the donated countertops include hot, burled beach and clam shell.
"One of them matched our new facility," president and CEO of YMCA Buffalo Niagara, John Murray, said.
The material was installed in the Wegmans demonstration kitchen.
The kitchen is a 1,620-square-foot facility that is equipped to handle hands-on cooking classes for up to 16 people at a time, and demonstration classes for up to 30 people at a time.
Hoy said the extra material and colors will be used at other local branches.
"One of our Ys is looking at retrofitting their shower and bathroom partitions," Murray said. "We are going to use the Corian materials in there. In the next two to three years, the Corian will be used in branches across our system."
Corian is known for being easy to clean. It is also certified for food contact and stains do not penetrate the surface of the material. It is also resistant to mold, mildew and bacteria growth.
Hoy's predecessor, Ronald Lee, served on the board of directors for the YMCA and told Hoy about the construction project.
"He was on our board when we started fundraising for the project," Murray said. "Ron checked with us as to whether we would accept a donation of material rather than money."
The donation comes after the YMCA donated Corian countertops to the Roswell Park Pediatric Unit for their game room, the Lion Den, a few years ago.
The new YMCA, located at 4333 Main St., just opened Monday, and Murray said it has been very busy.
The facility is 94,000 square feet and has two gymnasiums, five locker rooms, two swimming pools, as well as many services and classes.
"I walked around the Y and it is a very high-tech, impressive facility," Hoy said. "It was great to be part of that."Contact reporter Jessica Bagley at 693-1000, ext. 4150

A hometown chef has earned nation wide recognition due to his abilities to create delicious dishes in the kitchen of La Cipollina.
Matthew Higgins, 24, is the Chef De Cuisine at La Cipollina in Downtown Freehold. Despite his young age, Higgins has been named one of the Top 25 Chefs Under the Age of 25 by Best Chefs America, a chef's guide to other chefs across the country. In order to earn the title, Higgins had to be nominated by chefs who have experienced his craft.
Higgins had his first taste of the restaurant industry at a young age. When he was only eight-years-old he began serving fudge to La Cipollina diners. Through the years, Higgins became like family to La Cipollina Founder Anthony Braica, who took Higgins under his wing in the industry.
Under Braica's instruction, Higgins worked every position available from a busboy, to front door, to dishwasher, to back waiter, line cook, and ultimately chef. But before proving himself in the kitchen, Braica had plans for Higgins outside of the restaurant industry.
"I did everything I could to keep him out of the kitchen," said Braica. "I wanted him to go to college and work on Wall Street, but that didn't happen."
After graduating from Christian Brothers Academy, Higgins went on to the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken. Despite his high grades, Higgins came back to La Cipollina with an even stronger desire to work in the restaurant. Even though Higgins never went to culinary school, he still worked his way up the culinary ladder to his position of Chef De Cuisine.
"It was definitely more difficult to not have culinary degree when starting out in this industry, I had to learn in an environment like [the television show] Hell's Kitchen," explained Higgins. "When you are in culinary school, you have the school training you for what you will experience, for me, Hell's Kitchen was my reality."
Despite the struggles Higgins experienced in the beginning of his career, he now looks to the future and with his national recognition, looks forward to extending his abilities in the restaurant.
"Matt has grown up in this industry but although he has been around it for so long it has been hard for him to shine," explained Braica. "Matt has been in other people's shadows for a long time so it is really nice that he has been able to step out from the shadows and has been acknowledged."

Scotland Yard Detective Ian Rutledge is a fascinating character. Created by a mother and son writing team, the Inspector Rutledge series is a twist on the flawed detective genre. Set in post WWI England Todd delves the psyche of the war exhausted population. Rutledge, himself, is no exception. He has returned from the battlefield with the ghost of a dead soldier in his head. Hamish MacLeod was executed on the battlefield by Rutledge for refusing a direct order. Hamish has now become Rutledge's constant companion and the embodiment of his tortured soul.
In a small Sussex village war veterans are being brutally murdered. Each has been garroted, with small ID discs left in their mouths. Is this the work of a fellow emotionally scarred veteran? Or is the motive to be found further in the past? The mystery is intricately wrought. But the solution to the crime seems secondary to the wrenching stories of the veterans and their difficulty in returning to their old lives; lives that no longer exist. The details and emotions that Todd evokes paints a picture of imperfect men trying to justify their pasts and understand their futures. Check catalog for availability.

Surprisingly good tripel, received in craft pack from WFM.
A: Pours a burnt walnut color with a frothy beige head that retains well and leaves plenty of lace all the way.
Smell: Dark dried fruit, primarily raisins and prunes, yeast, with grassy background.
Taste: Follows smell, with dark fruit, up front, and a bready, yeasty core. Good tickler hops balance the sweetness. In the finish, the sweet malt elements win and blend with the tingly herbal/bitter character.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with moderate carbonation; a little warmth.
Drinkability: Meditation beer. I savored mine. Well made.

Picked this up a week or so ago at the ShopRite Liquors in Wharton. I never had this before and hadn't had anything from the Blue Mountain Brewery and although I wasn't expecting this to match up to anything from Europe, I was hoping that this would be a lighter, easier version of this style to quaff. There was more than enough here to satisfy those requirements as this beer was nice to kick back with on a humid night such as this one!
This had a good pour to it, as the frothy, soft head and the dark, garnet edges to the liquid gave this brown beer a nice lift. The bubbles settled pretty quickly but there were nice rings of lacing that more than made up for it. Not a strong aroma to this but there was enough sugar and dark fruit present to give me an idea of what kind of beer this was. No, this wasn't that strong in the alcohol department and no, there wasn't a lot of yeast to complement everything else...but both were present and went along with the cherry and underlying dark fruits that made this beer so open to enjoyment. The mouthfeel was somewhat full but had a bit too much syrup to it, but it went along with how subdued this felt to the taste.
The alcohol was present after I polished this off but not via the taste and the slight mineral hardness of the water was what lingered in the aftertaste once the yeast, booze, and flavors wore off. If it was possible to brew a mountain-style beer without the grain and with a good European influence, it would taste a lot like this. Not anything to rush out and buy but those looking for a "light Dubbel" would be wise to start here. There was enough to like here without an overriding sweetness and this stayed true to form from start to finish. Fun stuff!

Beer review #666, poured into a snifter
A- pours a chestnut brown color with a creamy light cream colored head that retains long after the pour, leaving some lace behind
S- candied dark fruit, buiscity malt, dark cherry juice and caramel
T- dark cherry flavor with a slight tartness, sugary malt that finishes buiscuity with some herbal notes
M- medium body with light carb, slightly foamy mouthfeel with a crisp, dry finish
O- well constructed and easy to drink, doesn't compare to the world class Belgian examples but definitely worth a try

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
The past few years have been far from easy for America. We've been through two wars, and a crippling financial storm known as the Great Recession. Four years ago, millions of Americans were hungry for hope and desperate for change.
A youthful candidate by the name of Barack Obama promised that change, appealing to both young and old alike. His experience, and record, was a little lacking in terms of his qualifications to assume the position of commander in chief, but his oratory skills on the campaign trail were undeniable. We took a chance on President Barack Obama despite a number of red flags. For example, he promised to bankrupt coal-fired power plants while on the campaign trail. That's probably why West Virginia overwhelming voted in support of fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton over Obama during the May 2008 primary, and then Republican John McCain in November 2008 — despite the fact that the number of registered Democrats in West Virginia still far outnumber those who are registered Republicans.
However, for the first time in more than 40 years, the neighboring Commonwealth of Virginia voted for a Democrat for president, helping Barack Obama to achieve the Electoral College math needed to win the presidency. When all was said and done, Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, and the White House. But it didn't take long for things to begin to sour.
We were told the $787 billion federal stimulus package would largely be used to rebuild our nation's crumbling infrastructure — new roads, bridges, water, sewer, broadband and schools — as part of a plan to get the economy moving again. But we later learned that millions upon millions of dollars were instead awarded to green energy projects — many of which would later go bankrupt or fail to produce a significant number of new jobs. In fact, millions upon millions were wasted on unproven green energy projects like solar panels while critical infrastructure needs such as the King Coal Highway and the Coalfields Expressway were ignored. Shameful!
As the economic crisis continued to grow — and millions more were still without work — Obama chose to ignore the emergency at hand and instead came to a Kroger store right here in Southwest Virginia to stump for his controversial health care reform package. Soon, the passage of the Affordable Health Care Act — later dubbed by critics as ObamaCare — became the sole objective of Obama and the Democratic controlled House and Senate. The debate divided America, and at the worse possible time. When we needed a president and a Congress who would fight to lift us out of a painful recession, they were too busy working to pass a health care law that many Americans still oppose or simply don't understand.
And let's don't forget about coal. How can we? This administration from day one has waged a deplorable crusade to kill coal mining jobs, and to close coal-fired power plants, through a politically motivated Environmental Protection Agency. Although several federal court rulings found that the EPA clearly overstepped its boundaries, the EPA is unrelenting — appealing those rulings to the U.S. Supreme Court of Appeals.
Some will tell you there isn't a war on coal. They will argue it's just a lot of rhetoric intended to hurt Obama. Those who make such foolish statements certainly don't live here in the coalfields of southern West Virginia and Southwest Virginia. If they did, they would see first-hand all of the coal miners and their families who are unemployed and hurting, and the others who don't know if they will be working from one day to the next. They would hear from the 200 Norfolk Southern Corp. employees who were furloughed just last week due to decreased coal traffic. They would see the impact the closure of coal-fired power plants are having on small communities like Glen Lynn, Va. They would realize the impact this war on coal will have on our future electric bills.
Yes, the war on coal is real. It's very real. And it has to be stopped.
Republican Mitt Romney is the man who will end this war. He has embraced coal, natural gas and our other naturally abundant fossil fuels. He advocates a common-sense national energy policy that will put millions of Americans back to work. An energy policy that includes coal, oil, natural gas and — yes — even green energy sources.
Romney is a job creator. He always has been. If elected on Nov. 6, he is our best chance to get America's still struggling economy back on track, and to help those millions of Americans who are still unemployed get back into the work force. Mitt Romney will not close coal mines and coal-fired power plants. He will fight for coal. He will fight for natural gas. He will stand up for America. He is our best hope for a more prosperous future.
When voters in West Virginia and the battleground state of Virginia head to the polls on Nov. 6, we implore them to cast a ballot for Mitt Romney. A vote for Romney is not only a vote for coal miners and their families across southern West Virginia and Southwest Virginia, it's also a vote for a brighter future for America.

Seahawks Stung By Pride In CAA Opener
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 09/20/2012
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - Freshman Jill Mulholland scored in the 87th minute to break a scoreless tie and lift Hofstra to a 1-0 victory over UNCW in Colonial Athletic Association women's soccer action Thursday at the UNCW Soccer Stadium.
In the league opener for both programs, The Pride improved to 5-4-0 overall while the Seahawks slipped to 5-4-1.
Mulholland's game-winning strike came at the 86:33 mark of the contest as she converted a rebound opportunity from close range after sophomore Lulu Echeverry rang a shot attempt off the right post during a Hofstra corner kick opportunity. The goal was Mulholland's fourth of the season and her second game-winning marker.
UNCW's best opportunity to score came earlier in the second half as freshman defender Lindsey Byrne got behind the Pride defense in the 64th minute and let a shot go that Hofstra junior Emily Morphitis was able to keep out of the net with a diving save.
Morphitis made three saves for the Pride as she recorded her third shutout of the season. Senior keeper Caitlin Hunter finished with five stops for the Seahawks.
UNCW held a 12-10 edge in shots during the contest while the Pride posted a 5-1 advantage in corner kicks taken.
Both teams return to action Sunday with league contests. UNCW travels to Northeastern while Hofstra entertains Georgia State. Both games are scheduled for a 1 p.m. kickoff.

Vice President Joe Biden recently made a huge campaign blunder by going on record in support of gay marriage. Biden told the unabridged truth – a rarity in today's political campaigning environment.
Biden's brief lapse sent his party spinning into damage control mode. One of the first victims of Biden's gaffe was White House press spokes-man Jay Carney, who stuttered his way through a press conference where media representatives fired a nonstop salvo about President Obama's fuzzy position on gay marriage.
My aim is not to criticize Biden or Obama. The Republicans use the same tactic – feed voters carefully crafted sound bites designed to manage their perceptions. Biden's mistake was clearly stating his personal position on a very controversial subject.
In today's political information environment, getting off of message entails significant risk. The pressure created by Biden's statement eventually became so intense that Obama, back against the wall, was finally compelled to make a clear statement of his own position. His affirmation of support for gay marriage will be used by some Republicans as a polarizing issue in the election, even though Obama said it won't be in his platform.
Politicians endeavor to stay on message, or "talking points," in order to divert voter attention from issues they would rather avoid.
Politicians subscribe to the belief that a message, if repeated often enough, will finally be accepted as factual by the target audience. Consequently, acceptance of multiple, well-crafted messages will eventually sway the targeted voters.
Germany's Third Reich mastered the art of political messaging. (I'm not comparing the Obama administration to the Third Reich – just trying to derive a lesson from history.) Josef Goebbels, the Reich's minister of propaganda, was a master of messaging. His energy-filled, propaganda-laden speeches were aimed more at influencing and controlling the German populace than instilling trepidation in Germany's adversaries.
Despite Goebbel's abilities, it was actually Adolf Hitler who perfected the messaging technique aptly called the big lie. This big lie is built upon the belief that it's easier to get away with an enormous lie than a small one because no one would possibly suspect the person delivering the message of being a bald-faced liar.
Various versions of the big lie are common in political messaging today. You've heard them all. Obama is a
... (Muslim, communist, Kenyan). Mitt Romney never ran a real business. The Republicans want to eliminate Medicare. Obamacare death panels will determine the level of health care we receive. The list goes on.
Sadly, many voters easily embrace these messages.
Such messages are intended to distract voters' attention from doing the one thing politicians fear the most
– making informed decisions.
If the majority of American voters rejected the distracting political messaging and instead performed an honest analysis of each politician, we would send 99 percent of the incumbents home after each election.
Unfortunately, the information age we live in makes it difficult for voters to distinguish political fact from fiction and to separate the important from the not so important. Political Action Committees frequently run deceptive advertisements not officially endorsed by the candidate the committee backs.
Many privately run Internet blogs and other websites contain political information and messages of questionable veracity. Telephonic "robo calls," made by sources that are often difficult to identify, often spread political disinformation.
It is also important to remain focused on critical issues and avoid becoming sidetracked by the background noise of nonstop political messaging. Take abortion and gay marriage for example.
Each is controversial and important to many voters.
Unfortunately, countless single-issue voters will cast their votes based upon one of these issues alone. These voters will ignore the fact that abortion and gay marriage, while important cultural issues worthy of debate, pale in comparison to the country's immediate threats posed
by the unemployment crisis, the nation's economy-wrecking foreign oil dependency, the decade long war in Afghanistan and the ballooning national debt.
So what's a voter to do?
-- Read and listen voraciously. Be wary of the sources selected and try to stick to mainstream news sources.
These tend to be the most legitimate news outlets. I'm referring to time-tried sources such as The Economist, Time, Newsweek, Financial Times, New York Times, New York Post, Washington Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, L.A. Times, CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CBS and Fox News. These are well-established news outlets and they subscribe to certain standards of conduct in reporting.
-- Pay attention to the voting records of your elected officials. There are numerous online services that report voting records. Megavote is my favorite. Sign up for emailed reports at http://congress.org/congress
-- Remain engaged with elected officials. Attend town hall meetings, subscribe to newsletters and call or write them frequently regarding issues that are important to you. An easy website for emailing Capitol Hill is http://contactingthecongress.org.
The November elections will impact our nation for decades. Citizens who want their votes to make a difference must be proactive. The days of voting straight, party-line tickets are gone. Each candidate must be considered for his or her merit.
Refuse to just follow the political herd in November.

SAYBROOK TOWNSHIP — Judy Griesmar Rogers, age 60, of Lake Road West, was born on June 16, 1952. She died unexpectedly Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, at her home.
Judy Griesmar Rogers saw the beauty in each day, whether it was raining, snowing or overflowing with sunshine. She spent most of her youth barefoot, simply so that she could experience a direct connection with the earth. As an adult, there was nothing more important to Judy than sharing time with her two children, Ty and Randi, and their families. She adored her grandchildren with unrivaled passion.
She cherished living in her Ashtabula condo, where she could walk down to the beach anytime to watch the mercurial Lake Erie or savor a sunset. Judy also loved yoga, hiking and traveling, often with her close friend and adventure buddy, June Vendetti. Listening to Bruce Springsteen, whom she saw in concert numerous times, was another favorite pastime.
Judy was always there to help her family and friends, often reaching out to mentor younger people she met who needed guidance or just a gentle listener. People were quickly drawn to her effervescence, beautiful smile and infectious laugh.
For the past 26 years, Judy was the Fitness Director at Glenbeigh Hospital of Rock Creek, Ohio, where she worked hard to help troubled people recover their health and their lives. She attended Kent State University in the early 1970s. She obtained her Certification as a Reiki Master from Lakeland Community College in January of 2003 which enabled her to bless many people.
Judy lived a full life, complete with laughter and sorrow, including the loss of her own mother, Millie Griesmar, 95, just three weeks ago. She leaves a legacy of kindness, compassion and love that will be her greatest tribute, her greatest gift, and one that will sustain her children, grandchildren and all those who loved her and knew her love.

The Daily Star
---- — The Women's Club of Cooperstown will begin its 2013-14 year with its annual salad luncheon at 1 p.m. Tuesday at the Christ Church Parish House on Fair Street in Cooperstown. Those who attend must bring a dish to pass and their own table service. Dessert, rolls and beverages will be provided. Club members are encouraged to bring prospective members as their guests. Following the salad luncheon, Jane Forbes Clark will speak about the Clark Foundation and the Leatherstocking Corp. in Otsego County.
This year, the Women's Club of Cooperstown will be under the leadership of President Mary Margaret Kuhn; Vice President Annegrete Barnum; Recording Secretary Sue Drake; Corresponding Secretary Jean Lyon; and Treasurer Susan Newman. Directors for the club this year will be Jan Jock, Dianne Kull, Regina Palmer and Lois Holz.
Additional programs for the year will include: in October, "Celebrate Octoberfest"; in November, "The Garden in November: Endings & Beginnings" presented by Patricia Thorpe; in December, "What is New at the Cooperstown Art Association" presented by Janet Erway; in January, "What's Changing at the Cooperstown Food Pantry" presented by Audrey Murray; in February, "Empty Bowls – How it Came to Be" presented by Donna Bailey Mackie; in March, "Music, Movement & the Mind" presented by Dr. Don Raddatz; in April, "It's Bridge! It's Mahjong! It's the Cooperstown Women's Club Game Day!"; and in May, the annual Spring Luncheon and Fashion Show at the Otesaga Hotel.
During the 2013-14 club year, there will continue to be an ongoing philanthropic project to support the work of the Cooperstown Food Bank. Each month members are encouraged to bring to the meeting either a nonperishable food item or a monetary donation for the food bank.
The Helen N. Hale Scholarship, given each year by the Women's Club in memory of longtime Cooperstown Central School mathematics teacher and former president of Women's Club Helen Hale, is awarded to graduating seniors at Cooperstown Central School who plan to continue their education. The 2013 winners were Kari Gagnon and Christopher Harloff.
The Mabel Atwell Drama Award was established by the Women's Club in memory of long time Cooperstown Central School English teacher and former president of Women's Club, Mabel W. Atwell. Besides teaching English, Atwell was a longtime director of Cooperstown school dramatic productions. Hence the award is given in her memory to a graduating senior or seniors for outstanding effort in the area of dramatic performance. No award was given in 2013.
In addition to its philanthropic work, the Women's Club of Cooperstown also sponsors the Garden Discussion Group, the Literary Discussion Group and the Meadowlarks, a group that makes holiday tray favors for residents of Otsego Manor.
Membership in the Women's Club of Cooperstown is open to all. More information on membership is available by calling Lois Holz, membership chair, at 547-9138.

Expect several clashing storylines when the Cuesta College basketball teams host Allan Hancock College tonight.
It's San Luis Obispo against Santa Maria, athleticism versus finesse and, in the men's matchup in particular, former students against a mentor.
Emotions are always expected to run high in this rivalry — which begins with the men's game at 5 p.m. at Cuesta and the women's game following at 7 p.m. — but perhaps more important this time around is the chance to stay in contention for the Western State Conference North Division crown.
The Cougars' men (15-9, 2-1 WSCN) will host the Bulldogs (14-7, 2-1 WSCN) before traveling to Ventura (18-5, 2-1 WSCN) on Saturday, when Hancock will host unbeaten conference front-runner Los Angeles Pierce (14-6, 3-0 WSCN).
In the crucial stretch, whoever can go into the weekend unscathed will stay on pace for the title. Tonight's loser is in danger of being saddled with a devastating trio of conference losses before the week is out.
"Whoever loses that game has two losses with one difficult game remaining in the first round" of WSCN play, Cuesta head coach Rusty Blair said. "Three losses in the first round, and you're probably not competing for a league championship anymore. You're probably struggling to get a playoff spot."
Since the rest of the conference teams range from Santa Barbara and south, Hancock is closest geographically, and the matchup has the same feel, Blair said, as the nearby Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara rivalry that has been known for colorful antics over the years.
It's also a clash in playing styles.
With a roster populated mainly with international players, the Cougars rely on skill and guile to get things done.
Leading scorer Plamen Hristov of Bulgaria (16.2 points per game) is one of the leading 3-point shooters in the conference, but the 6-foot-4 forward also has to produce on the boards for Cuesta, ranking third in the WSCN with 8.1 rebounds per game.
The Cougars don't have an established inside presence, something Blair said comes from the more finesse-oriented game played in his recruiting base overseas, but 6-4 guard Oscar Pedroso of Portugal excels at drawing fouls by driving inside and taking charges on the defensive end.
Pedroso averages 11.2 points. He ranks 10th in the state with 111 free-throw attempts and converts on 76.6 percent.
Hancock has only one international player on the roster and plays a more athletic game, but the Bulldogs aren't exactly local.
Leading scorer Demetrius Thomas (19.8 points per game) went to high school in Connecticut. The 6-8 guard also averages 8.6 rebounds.
Six-foot-9 center Josh Varney, from Vermont, is the second-leading rebounder in the conference with 9.8 per game and averages 13.9 points.
And Khufu Najee, a 6-4 transfer guard from San Jose State, is averaging 14.8 points and is shooting better than 55 percent from the field. In three conference games, Najee is averaging 19.6 points.
While both teams appear to have shortened their rotations for conference play, Cuesta has not done so willingly. The Cougars have already lost four players to season-ending injuries, including former starting shooting guard Paul Candiff, who was lost to an ACL tear, Blair said.
Several others are nursing nagging injuries, but that won't change the stakes for tonight's big game, which also features the return of sixth-year Hancock head coach Ralph Gorton, who spent eight years as Blair's assistant at Cuesta, and former Cougars standout Vince Conde, who's coaching stints include stops as an assistant under Blair and high school varsity coach at Templeton and Paso Robles.
"It's always a difficult situation," Blair said. "I have two former assistant coaches I have to go against. It's a game where they feel they want to beat the mentor."

There is mounting evidence that Donovan McNabb, who is heading into the final year of his contract, will return to the Eagles as the starting quarterback next season. McNabb reiterated last week that he was told by Andy Reid — just as Reid said to the media — that McNabb would be the starter next season. We hear there remains a remote chance that a trade could happen, but the guess is that the Eagles would need to be blown away by an offer to pull the trigger. This move would not be an indictment of Kevin Kolb, the perceived heir to McNabb's starting job. The Eagles have been happy with Kolb's progress, and they would have him ready to go as the starter beyond 2010 or if McNabb gets hurt. The interesting third party is Michael Vick. Although public reports indicate that Vick likely will be back next season, we hear that decision is by no means set in stone.

Got the 3hybrid. Very solid, easy to swing, looks and feels great.
I have this club in the 3h and love it. I also have an older 4h from Nike (non-Covert) and like that as well but it doesn't compare. Very few mishits and gets the ball up fast. Super easy off the tee or out of the rough.
I ordered a 3 hybrid a couple weeks ago and i love it. This club hits the ball long and straight. The red color of the crown inspires confidence. I also have the Covert 2.0 driver which i love too. Now i just need a fairway wood and maybe a 4 hybrid to complete my Covert Family.
I placed order for VRS Covert used 3 and 4 hybrids on June 7th as gift for my grandfather on his father's day and it is June 19th now and the order still hasn't been shipped? I called and they told me that they did not have inventory but they do now and they will ship that day. That day was more than a week ago. I called multiple times and emailed multiple times and I did not get a straight answer where my order is? Not sure why they post items they do not have in their inventory as for sale?
I needed something to give me an edge over my peers and decided to add a hybrid to my bag. This is my first hybrid and I'm thoroughly impressed with my first experience on the range. I'm even more impressed with my experience on the course. First time I brought it out on a par 4, hit a solid 200+ slight fade. Amazing club for someone who is stronger with irons. The color of the head is beautiful as well. Always happy with all Nike products. Their performance is highly underrated.

Hi Linux experimenting on laptop
I want to buy a laptop,and i want to experiment with linux kernel....anyone has any idea/practical experiences/suggestions regarding this wrt linux on laptop?
The Linux Laptop Buying
The Linux Laptop Buying guide will help you, I based my laptop purchase with that guide.
Linux on Laptops
I currently am running LinuxMint 6 on a Dell C610 P4 1000mhz with 756mb of ram, and am satisfied with it. I runs great and I am able us my internal wireless card also. With other distro's I could not do that.
connecting to verizon 3g network...
I have a HP 1151NR Mini netbook and I am wanting to run Ubuntu 9.04 netbook remix and when I try it on the netbook it does not let me connect to my verizon broadband connection. I enter all the correct information and it tries to connect but fails and says "Working in offline mode"
Do you think LinuxMint will connect to verizon's network.
My pc has an internal wireless modem. It is a broadcom. Of course Verizon doesn't support Linux because they have been branded with the mark of the beast "Microsoft"
Any suggestions or help in this matter would be greatly appreaciated
older thinkpad
I have an old t22 think pad because it is older i purchased used red hat linux bible with fedoria core one. Fedoria reconised my modem a fairly old pc card. After fooling around web brouser and email account worked fine. older op systems a good choice for older computers.
Even older yet iam running redhat 9 on a old tobsheba Sattlite 335 a real dinosore pre 2000 computer slow but works fine.
LJ December 2007 Issue
In case you haven't read it already, check out the December 2007 issue of Linux Journal. They have a great Linux laptop buying guide. Besides listing models with pre-loaded Linux, the article also points out things to look for when making a purchase. Many of those points pertain to the loading your own approach. That issue also contains a couple of articles on specific uses for old laptops using Linux.
Mike Roberts is a bewildered Linux Journal Reader Advisory Panelist.
Live Linux CDs
Like Shawn mentioned in his post with regards to Linux on laptops, back in the day it was difficult to get them to work. Like Shawn also mentioned, today things are much better.
I would download one of the popular Live Linux CDs that allow you to boot up Linux without an install. You can then take the CD to wherever you plan to purchase the laptop(big box store, garage sale, etc) and see if it boots. That will go a long way in telling you if the laptop hardware is recognized by a particular Linux distro. Specific Live CDs I like are the ones from Kubuntu and Damn Small Linux(DSL). Kubuntu is more full featured than DSL but DSL will run better on an older, low powered laptop. I've run both on a wide range of laptops and at a minimum, they will bring up a nice desktop with wired ethernet support if the hardware is there. WiFi is a bit trickier. I've successfully used the Kubuntu and DSL LiveCDs on quite a wide range of laptops. I'm always amazed at how well the boot to CD distros work without disturbing the hard drive. I've even used them to recover data files from Windows laptops that would no longer boot. I read just today about another Live CD in the LJ Desktop forum called E-Live that I also plan to try.
Wrt a full installation of Linux on a laptop, I bought a laptop back in 2004 to try out Linux. It was typical hardware of the day and had an Nvidia graphics card. With minimal effort I loaded SuSE 9.X. I most recently loaded Kubuntu 7.10 and it also installed without hardware support issues. There are some Kubuntu undocumented features that had to be sorted out for some apps but again, nothing specific to hardware compatibility. Nvidia cards typically will work with the standard drivers but you get better results installing the drivers downloadable from the Nvidia web site. Even with "just" 1GB of RAM, the performance of this almost 4 year old laptop is excellent running Linux.
Linux has been stable for a long time. What I really like about it now is that it includes plenty of features for daily use, enough that I can just install and use it without tinkering. In addition, if I want to tinker with things like the kernel, I could do that. Since you mentioned you want to experiment with the kernel, DSL that I mentioned above might be a great place to start. It is designed not only with low powered PCs in mind but also tweakability. The DSL authors even sell a book on DSL which I have and highly recommend. I am far from a kernel experimenter but the book does offer much insight on the inner workings of DSL and Linux in general.
Enjoy and keep us posted on your progress!

Not first hand...
I'm not sure what you mean by "wrt" (I'm probably showing my ignorance there...) but I know many people are happy with Thinkpads running Linux. Are you looking for something that is highly compatible, or just something that others have experience with?
I have a Sony Vaio laptop that used to be a bear to get working, but with recent version of several distros, it works "out of the box" so to speak. That said, I have no desire to tweak the kernel. I got my fill of that when I used to run Debian on my iBook. Rewarding, but tedious.

Hi all,
Thanks a lot for the replies...this was what i wanted.. and i welcome more suggestions to me...
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

This year, lawmakers in Oklahoma realized that changing family circumstances and the fact that parents often do not have the resources to hire a lawyer to go to court to change guardianship or do not desire a permanent change of guardianship necessitated a change in the definition of residency for school purposes.

"Our education system has grown to operate as if Washington knows best, but this approach has failed our nation's children and silenced the most important voices in the room - parents, teachers, and local leaders," said Inhofe.
