3 Unusual Strategies for Claiming Social Security Benefits
Unconventional ways to try to maximize your retirement income.
Deciding when to sign up for Social Security could be the most important retirement decision you make. Social Security is the largest source of income for over half of retirees, and the age you begin receiving payments can vastly affect the amount of money you receive over your lifetime.
The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College published a paper describing unusual—but allowable—strategies future retirees can ponder before they sign up for their due. Here are some highlights.
Strategy 1: Borrow and Invest
If you sign up for Social Security at age 62, you receive reduced benefit payouts for life; that is, unless you can afford to pay the money back. If you return every cent you've already received—without interest —you can qualify for higher payments for the rest of your life. Feasibly, a Social Security recipient could invest the benefits, keep the earnings, and then pay back the "loan" from Uncle Sam. "This strategy is the same as receiving a zero-interest loan from Social Security," according to the BC paper. A retiree who gets about $1,000 a month between ages 62 and 66, or $64,000 including annual cost of living adjustments, and achieves investment returns of 3 percent above inflation on that sum would have about $68,000 at age 67, making about $4,000 on the transaction, according to calculations by Andrew Biggs, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and a former deputy commissioner for policy for the Social Security Administration. Of course, you could always lose the money in the stock market, or die soon after you pay the money back and come out behind.
Strategy 2: Claim Now, Claim More Later
A married worker with a retired spouse can claim a spousal benefit at full retirement age and then switch to his or her own benefit at a later date. This approach allows an employee to receive spousal benefit checks while still building up his or her own work record, which will result in bigger Social Security checks later. For example, a couple both age 66 (their full retirement age) might be entitled to retirement benefits of $1,200 a month each if they retire now. She decides to retire and claim her $14,400 annual due right away. But he wants to keep working until age 70. In the meantime, he can apply for spousal benefits based on her work record—netting him $600 a month—and delay claiming benefits based on his own work history. If he doesn't claim his own benefit until age 70, he will get $1,585 per month, or about $19,000 more per year, according to calculations by Mauricio Soto, a research economist at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. This approach is only permitted for individuals who have reached full retirement age.
You can check out some more claiming strategies for couples here.
Strategy 3: Claim and Suspend
A spousal benefit is generally equal to half of the higher earner's due, although claiming it before full retirement age diminishes the amount of the benefit. A wife cannot claim a spousal benefit until her husband signs up for Social Security, and vice versa if a husband wants to collect based on his wife's record. But any worker can claim Social Security and then suspend payment. This way, a spouse without enough earnings to qualify for benefits can start receiving checks, while the other spouse continues to work longer to get higher Social Security payouts later. Humberto Cruz, a Tribune Media Services columnist, and his wife, Georgina, plan to implement this strategy. Humberto will file for and immediately suspend his Social Security benefits at age 66, his full retirement age, in 2011. Georgina, who will be older than her full retirement age, can receive spousal benefits worth 50 percent of what Humberto would have received if he hadn't suspended his payments, which is a higher amount than she would get from her own work record. "I expect us to receive higher combined benefits over the long run, while protecting Georgina if I die first," Humberto wrote in a column early this year.
Depending on how long you live, all of these strategies could result in either higher or lower lifetime payouts. Waiting to sign up for Social Security can help ensure you against outliving your savings, but delaying is never a good idea if you're in poor health or otherwise think you won't live a long life. Here's some more information about how the timing of Social Security benefits and continuing to work can affect payments.

Toad the Wet Sprocket are an alternative rock band that formed while a number of its members were still in high school in California in 1986. The band consists of vocalist and guitarist Glen Phillips, guitarist Todd Nichols, bassist Dean Dinning, and drummer Randy Guss. The band hit the height of their popularity in the 1990s with a series of hit songs, such as "Walk on the Ocean," "All I Want" and "Something's Always Wrong." Despite their success, by the end of the 1990s the band had broken up. However, 2006 saw the band reunite and perform a number over live shows throughout the states.

This recipe turned out fantastic and turned my husband from an eggplant hater to an eggplant lover! I love that it is baked, not fried - and so delicious! A tip to make the eggplant tender and remove all bitterness: 1. Peel the eggplant in stripes then slice into 1/2 " rounds. 2. Generously salt each slice and allow the slices to sit in a colander for an hour (all the bitter juices will drain out.) 3. Thoroughly rinse the salt off with cold water. 4. Firmly squeeze out the juices/water from each slice - like wringing out a sponge. The eggplant is tough, it can take it! 5. Pat dry with paper towel. After a few disappointing experiences with eggplant, I learned this trick. It will also cause the eggplant to absorb much less oil if you decide to fry it.
Sooo much easier and healthier than frying the eggplant. I took the advice of placing salted eggplant in colander for 1 hour. I weighed it down by placing a nest of bowls on top of the eggplant to help 'squeeze' out that bitter juice. I then rinsed well and put them on a lint-free kitchen towel, folded it over and pushed down to get the water out. Put one pan in the oven while preparing the second cookie sheet and ran out of egg so just used milk instead and it worked fine to finish them up. Shredded mozzarella, parmesan, and romano (love romano) and made a 3 cheese shred and tossed it all together to use for layering. Omitted the basil on top; already had it in the sauce. Used "Best Marinara Sauce Yet" recipe on here and it was great. Will definitely make again because it is easier baking, and can prepare other things while each pan is in the oven. I also started putting it together while the second pan was in the oven. 7 min. on each side was perfect.***Be sure to keep the slices of eggplant on the thinner side and don't overdo it on the sauce or it may be mushy when mixed with the eggplant breading during baking. Thanks for the recipe!
Make sure you salt the eggplant and let them drain for at least an hour. I did it for 1/2 and hour, and they were still bitter. The crispness from the baking is satisfactory, and the fact that the eggplant isn't a grease ball is fabulous! I'll try this again when I have more time to "debitterize" the eggplant. It's a lot of work, but worth it! Homemade tomato sauce is a plus, but not a necessity.

". . . the original authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are back to do the series justice with two decades worth of fresh ideas." -- Cinescape
In the midst of the War of the Lance, the Dragon Highlord Kitiara dreams of a death knight living in a haunted castle -- the dreaded Lord Soth. Fearsome as he is, he is an ally Takhisis, the Dark Queen, is most eager to gain. Kit vows to spend the night in the most feared place on Krynn -- Dargaard Keep -- to gain Soth's aid. No one who ventures into his presence ever returns. But Kit must face either Soth or her death at the hands of her Queen.
Meanwhile, Kitiara has tricked the Knights of Solamnia into searching for the Dragon Orb secreted in Icewall Castle. Accompanied by Laurana, Sturm Brightblade, and Tasslehoff Burrfoot, they sail north to the fortress, never realizing they are playing into the Dark Queen's plans.
Revealing for the first time the missing stories from the Dragonlance Chronicles, Dragons of the Highlord Skies describes the adventures that took place between the first Dragonlance book, Dragons of Winter Night and its sequel, Dragons of Spring Dawning. It follows the tales presented in Dragons of the Dwarven Depths.
Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have been writing best-selling Dragonlance novels for over twenty years. As partners, they have written over thirty novels together, alone, and with different writing partners, they have written close to a hundred books, including novels, roleplaying games, collections of stories, and other game products.
The first collaboration between authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, was published in 1984, and the continuing series, set in the fantasy world of Krynn, has sold over twenty million copies worldwide, and has been translated and published in twenty foreign languages.

By Alan Pergament
As the weather finally improves, the broadcast networks are having some programs give some relatively early goodbyes.
Tonight, NBC's critically-acclaimed but little watched "Parks and Recreation" with Amy Poehler has its season finale three days after Fox's "The Following" ended its run and four days after CBS' "The Good Wife" waved goodbye.
I would normally wait until all of the season finales of the shows I watch semi-regularly have aired to grade them, but I'm afraid I wouldn't remember some of them because they departed so early.
Before I give out some early grades, I should warn you there are spoilers in my summations. I waited a few days to allow you to see the finales, but I know some people wait longer.
"The Good Wife": I'm getting seriously tired of the story line concerning whether Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) chooses to return to her philandering husband Peter (Chris Noth) or her law partner Will Gardner (Josh Charles). Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
The parallel story lines concerning whether Peter would win the governor's race in Illinois and whether Alicia would have enough of law firm politics to split the Lockhart-Gardner firm were much more interesting.
It also was a good and plausible twist to have Peter win after the votes were cooked in one district of Cook County. Will is aware of it and kept quiet, while Alicia is in the dark. The twist of having Alicia decide to leave the firm to join Cary Agos (Matt Czuchry) in his new secret enterprise also should help things next year.
The big questions are: a) Does Alicia's legal choice make it more or less difficult to be with Will? I would think more difficult since she will be trying to steal some of his firm's clients.
b) Does Will tell Alicia that her husband or her husband's allies tried to steal an election he didn't need to steal? After all, we learned that he won in a landslide and didn't need to cook the books.
Those are the good things to come out of the finale.
The bad things were the David E. Kelley moments dealing with idiosyncratic judges. Kelley, who has made a living with such characters on "L.A. Law," "The Practice," and "Boston Legal," does more justice to those characters. Grade: B minus
"The Following": First off, a confession. I've missed some episodes of the Kevin Bacon series along the way, primarily because the violence got a bit much for my taste and because some story points in several episodes became too implausible for me to stomach.
But I returned for the intense finale to see that writer-creator Kevin Williamson had the guts to kill off a likable, regular character,(the FBI agent played by Annie Parisse), and have Bacon's character execute a villain in cold blood. He has more than a little Jack Bauer in him.
Williamson also appeared to kill off the series' villain, serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) and ended the hour with a shocking stabbing that suggested the lives of Bacon's character Ryan Hardy and the woman he loves (Carroll's wife Claire Matthews, played by Natalie Zea) were in serious jeopardy.
The twists weren't that surprising or involving because it is hard to care about anyone in this twisted series. Joe Carroll's death was confirmed with dental records after he appeared to get burned alive in a fire. But this being TV, it wouldn't be all that shocking if somehow he came back from the dead or if one of his crazy Followers becomes next season's villain and victim.
I'm not all that sure I will be coming back for season two of Fox's most popular new drama. I am more sick of the violence than the Edgar Allan Poe references. Even Bacon's inability to find time to shave is beginning to irritate me. Grade: C plus.

A 16 year old transgender girl in Connecticut (known as "Jane Doe") has been incarcerated in an adult prison even though she has not been convicted or charged with any crime. Doe was living in a treatment home for traumatized youth under the custody of the state Department of Children and Family (DCF.) Authorities allege that she assaulted a staffer in the facility, but no criminal charges are pending against her. The DCF's decision to transfer her straight into an adult prison sets a dangerous, inhumane and unjust precedent.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The numbers speak for themselves. Twenty-eight, first-quarter points. Nearly 200 yards of offense in the game's first 20 minutes. Holding U.S. Grant to negative yardage and no first downs in the first half and only 15 yards for the game.
And finally, the most important number: 56-0. The score by which Norman North defeated Grant to move to 5-1 and remain undefeated in district play.
Grant, playing with just 29 players dressed out, was simply outmatched by the bigger and more experienced Timberwolves. A running clock was instituted in the second quarter in a game that was never in doubt. But just because the T-Wolves were big favorites didn't mean they were taking the game lightly.
"This time of the year, they're all important," coach Wade Standley told his team before the game. "You cannot go into any week and take it lightly."
North took just two snaps to get on the board. After an incomplete pass to start the game, Peyton Gavras found Nick Basquine for a 41-yard strike that put the T-Wolves on the board.
Bryan Payne then broke a pair of long scoring runs, the second coming after he juked three separate Grant defenders. He finished the game with 110 yards and the pair of touchdowns on just three carries as North pulled its starters early in the second quarter. In the same amount of playing time, Gavras finished 4-of-5 for 133 yards and two touchdowns.
While North wasn't able to get much work out of its starters against the Generals, the backups received a lot of playing time, and every available player got on the field for the T-Wolves.
Trey Millican and Jordan Pryor carried the brunt of the load in the second half as the pair of running backs took the majority of the carries. Pryor made several nice runs, and finished with 81 yards and three scores, while Millican had 50 and a touchdown on eight carries.

text: There are three acceptable reasons for the Senate to reject a president's nominee for a Cabinet position: The candidate lacks credentials for the position; he fails to meet high ethical standards for personal behavior; or he holds extreme views. It was clear before former Sen. Chuck Hagel's confirmation hearings that he possessed the necessary personal and professional qualifications to serve as secretary of Defense. Hagel's testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday demonstrated that his views about foreign and defense policy are not only well within the mainstream but consonant with those of the president who selected him.

Highlight in History
On September 1, 1939, World War II began as Nazi Germany invaded Poland.
Ten years ago
During a Labor Day trip to Richfield, Ohio, President George W. Bush announced he was creating a high-level government post to nurture the manufacturing sector. Arab TV broadcast an audiotape purportedly from Saddam Hussein denying any involvement in a bombing in Najaf, Iraq, that killed a Shiite cleric.

Hurricane Gustav slammed into the heart of Louisiana's fishing and oil industry with 110 mph winds, delivering only a glancing blow to New Orleans. Republicans opened their national convention in St. Paul, Minn., on a subdued note because of Hurricane Gustav; John McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, revealed that her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, was pregnant. Jerry Lewis raised a record $65 million for the Muscular Dystrophy Association in his annual Labor Day telethon. Country singer-actor Jerry Reed died in Nashville at age 71. Voiceover artist Don LaFontaine, whose distinctive baritone graced innumerable movie trailers, died in Los Angeles at age 68.
One year ago
President Barack Obama ridiculed the just-completed Republican National Convention as better-suited to an era of black-and-white TV and "trickle-down, you're on your own" economics, and declared that Mitt Romney "did not offer a single new idea" for fixing the economy.

In the end, Boucher emerged with a sweetheart deal for Big Coal. The climate bill was amended to include more free permits for carbon polluters, as well as $1 billion a year to support "clean coal" research. (That was on top of the $3.4 billion in research funds already included in the president's stimulus plan.) All told, the climate bill now contained $60 billion in support for coal — far more than the aid given to wind, solar and all other forms of renewable energy combined.
Even more striking, Boucher succeeded in switching a single word in the legislation that could potentially save the coal industry billions of dollars. When a draft of the bill was first released in late March, it stipulated that coal plants "finally" permitted after January 1st, 2009, would be subject to new regulations, which was likely to include a requirement that they capture and store carbon emissions. But in the final version of the bill, the word "finally" was changed to "initially" — instantly exempting the 40 or so coal plants currently under construction from the new regulations.
The polluter-friendly measures won the support of some big coal burners, including American Electric Power, the nation's dirtiest utility. But even with all the handouts, the industry's most conservative factions continued to oppose the climate bill. In the final hours, the lobbying went into overdrive. ACCCE spent $545,000 on what turned out to be a fraudulent "grass-roots" campaign, using a Washington consultant called Bonner and Associates to bombard undecided congressmen with fake letters, supposedly from the NAACP, demanding that they vote against the climate bill. The blatant deception — and the use of forged documents — was not discovered until after the vote. "It was old tobacco tactics, pure and simple," Rep. Inslee says.
By that point, the months of backroom deal-making had succeeded in diluting the climate bill and loading it up with tax breaks and subsidies for industry. By the time it came to the floor on June 26th, the measure clocked in at more than 1,400 pages. The all-important target for reducing carbon pollution by 2020 had been cut from 20 percent to 17 percent. The goals for boosting renewable energy were cut nearly in half. The EPA's authority to regulate carbon emissions had been gutted. And instead of auctioning off all pollution permits, as Obama had promised during the campaign, the bill gave 83 percent of them away for free — up to half of them, in the near term, to industrial polluters. According to an analysis by Stanford University economists, polluters received $134 billion in allowances that weren't necessary to ensure America's industrial stability. The nation's dirtiest corporations, the ones most responsible for global warming, had just been given a huge government handout.
Still, even with all its flaws, the climate measure was the first bill Congress had ever seriously considered that placed a comprehensive cap on carbon pollution. And if the bill failed, it might be years before supporters had another shot. "We didn't make a single compromise we didn't have to to get the bill passed," Markey says. With the help of President Obama, who met with undecided members, the climate bill squeaked through the House by a vote of 219 to 212. Even with the president's efforts, 44 Democrats voted against the measure.
Markey believes the legislation will ultimately be seen as groundbreaking: "In 100 years, we'll look back on this moment and realize that 2009 was the year the United States finally decided to take the problems on our planet seriously." And with all its industry giveaways, the bill should have appeased opponents; Waxman, who has a reputation as a pragmatic deal-cutter, notes that the measure "represents a broad diversity of concerns and points of view."
But even in its watered-down form, the climate bill drew fierce attacks from Republicans. The eight GOP congressmen who voted for the measure were labeled "cap and traitors" by party loyalists, and several were told they will face primary challenges next year. The National Republican Congressional Committee also ran ads targeting a dozen or so vulnerable Democrats who supported the bill, including Rep. Tom Perriello of Virginia, who had won his seat by only 727 votes. The ads — foreshadowing the fight to come during this year's midterm elections — accused Perriello of voting for the "Pelosi Energy Tax," falsely claiming that the climate bill would raise energy costs for his constituents by $1,870 per family.
To Perriello, this was the final insult. "It wasn't enough that the fossil-fuel industry got millions of dollars worth of subsidies and benefits from the bill — they then had to act as if the passage of the bill were Armageddon," he says. "If anyone should have been unhappy about that legislation, it was the environmentalists."
In the hours after the House vote, while Markey was celebrating with staffers on a rainy night in Washington, his cellphone rang. It was White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, calling to congratulate him. "I didn't think you could do it," Emanuel told him.
The truth is, the climate bill's passage caught the White House off-guard. There was no strategy in place to advance the bill through the Senate, no plans for a prime-time address from the president on the urgency of confronting climate change. "They were surprised by the bill's speed," says one insider. "They suddenly had to focus on where to place their political bets." Bogged down in the fight over health care, Obama faced a dilemma: prodding senators to get moving on climate change might derail health care even further, but waiting too long risked missing the deadline for Copenhagen. "The world was waiting for the Senate to act," says Fred Krupp, head of the Environmental Defense Fund.
The White House wasn't the only one scrambling to regroup. The energy industry and its Republican allies realized that their scare tactics on climate change weren't working: To crank up the opposition, they needed to crank up the fear. To do that, they adopted both the rhetoric and the infrastructure of the burgeoning Tea Party movement that had been formed to fight health care reform. Cap-and-trade, the Republicans began to argue, was part of Obama's master plan to strip Americans of their freedom. "The government is going to monitor where you set your thermostat, how much plane travel you do," declared Marc Morano, a former Republican staffer on the Senate environment committee who now runs Climate Depot, a clearinghouse for disinformation about global warming. "It's a level of control we've never even contemplated in America."

How Healthy Is Your Heart?
ApoB Test for Precise Heart Testing
You dutifully keep track of your HDL ("good") and LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, but some experts say this paints only a partial picture of your overall heart health. A new test, called apoB, gives you and your doctor a more precise way of figuring out whether your arteries are in danger of clogging by measuring blood levels of a component of LDL called apolipoprotein B. LDL comes in different-size particles, some large and some small. It's the smallest ones that are most harmful, in part because they're capable of penetrating and lodging in the inner walls of coronary arteries, forming dangerous plaque (whereas large particles "float" on by). Because one molecule of apoB sits on every LDL particle, a high apoB count relative to your LDL cholesterol number would suggest that you have more small, damaging particles than large ones and therefore may be at greater risk of developing heart disease.
"Most physicians haven't tuned in to apoB testing yet," says Ronald M. Krauss, MD, a spokesman for the American Heart Association and director of atherosclerosis research at Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, in California, "but an increasing number of cardiologists and endocrinologists view it as a clearer measure than the standard cholesterol test of a patient's heart-attack risk and how she should be treated." Current medical guidelines call for drug therapy to lower LDL to below 100 if you're at high or moderately high risk of heart disease -- that is, if you have a strong family history of heart attack, you smoke, are overweight or have diabetes or metabolic syndrome, a disorder that includes a constellation of risk factors such as high blood lipids, insulin resistance, and excessive abdominal fat. However, your apoB results could prompt your doctor to consider other forms of treatment.Do You Know Your Heart Disease Profile?
For example, if you take two women who each have an LDL of 120 and the same heart-disease profile, a doctor may not recommend medication for patient A if she has mostly large particles, while patient B's mostly small particles might warrant a prescription. "There are probably a lot of women taking cholesterol-lowering statins who don't need them and a lot who should be on these drugs but aren't," says Lewis H. Kuller, MD, chair of epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health and a researcher who has studied the relationship between LDL particles and heart attacks in women. In fact, 19 percent of the participants in a 2003 heart study would have a different treatment recommendation if apoB results were used to guide treatment rather than LDL alone.

By SUZANNE MOORE
---- — ALTONA — For the first time, Clinton County has put Ganienkeh property up for tax auction.
The Mohawk community is long overdue to pay taxes on the parcels, according to Clinton County Treasurer Joseph Giroux.
The property is not taxable, Mohawk leadership says.
And as for the coming auction, "Ganienkeh land is not for sale," Mohawk spokesman Thomas Delaronde told the Press-Republican by phone Thursday afternoon.
The auction details appeared Thursday on the website nysauctions.com, promoting the online-only sale set to begin at 9 a.m. Nov. 30 with 11 auction lots up for bid. They total more than 1,745-plus acres of land, all located in Altona and the Northern Adirondack Central School District.
The properties include Ganienkeh Golf Course at 2927 Rand Hill Road, valued at $1,347,300; a dairy farm at 1037-1065 Alder Bend Road, assessed at $297,700; and a home at 100 Lash Road, valued at $99,000.
The land described on the site as "previously owned by the Turtle Island Trust, an entity believed to be controlled by the Ganienkeh people of Altona" also includes parcels of abandoned agricultural land on Lash, Rabideau and Devil's Den roads; vacant farmland on Lash Road and Military Turnpike; and a vacant rural plot on Devil's Den.
Preview information on the website says inspection of the properties is available as "drive by only."
The lands are near but not part of the expanse of property called home by the Ganienkeh Mohawk community since 1977 — state land that was leased to Turtle Island Trust after a three-year siege between the Mohawks and state in Moss Lake.
Bidding is to start Nov. 30.
For five years, according to Clinton County Treasurer Joe Giroux, the Governor's Office has attempted to reach some kind of resolution to the issue with Ganienkeh.
He took part in several meetings at the Governor's Office in Albany, under four different governors. Mohawk leadership was present at some of those, he said.
Altona Town Supervisor Larry Ross said he was at the session there when the state put its foot down.
Officials told the Mohawks, he said, "100 percent" they had to pay taxes on the properties that they had been buying up around the original leased land.
Ross agreed with that.
When taxes aren't paid, eventually Clinton County foots the bill, so Altona doesn't lose out. Instead, though, the supervisor said, "the whole county has to share" the burden of the cost.
Ross does sympathize some with the Mohawks, however.
The Governor's Office should have acted back when the land was first purchased, he said.
Since then, the Mohawks "have built a lot of things, invested a lot of money."
Giroux looks at it another way.
For example, he said, why should the Ganienkeh Golf Course have the advantage of paying no tax when every other one in Clinton County does?
Giroux said Ganienkeh was made aware of the coming tax auction.
"They are not happy," he said. "We're trying to keep (the situation) as diffused as we can."
The auction notice raised fears among the Mohawks that there would be immediate evictions, he added.
That is not going to happen, he said.
"All we're trying to do is follow the foreclosure process."
Rumors abounded Thursday that Ganienkeh had closed or intended to shut down roads at points around the territory.
"The roads are open," Delaronde said shortly after 2:30 p.m. "There's no worry.
"People are spreading all these rumors."
Ross said the appearance of a bulldozer and other heavy equipment along roadsides in several locations, including Ganienkeh's gas station on Devil's Den Road and a spot on Military Turnpike, likely fueled the speculation.
"They have a right to do that stuff," he said of the equipment movement. "They could be doing construction work, as far as I know."
Clinton County Sheriff David Favro had been made aware the pending auction would be posted on the website. It would be his department that would serve eviction notices, he said, but a lot would have to happen before that task would be undertaken.
First, he said, would have to come "a legitimate sale, legitimate purchase, legitimate filing with a local court for a warrant of eviction and an order of eviction."
Favro was aware of the flurry of rumors circulating Thursday; none proved more than that, he said, and his department had no cause to take any kind of action.
"Rumors, themselves, can create a civil unrest," the sheriff added.
Anxiety over what steps Ganenkieh might take is linked to past history that to some doesn't seem all that long ago.
On March 30, 1990, a Vermont National Guard helicopter on a medical mission was brought down by gunfire as it flew over the Mohawk lands in Altona; a physician aboard was shot and wounded. After an 11-day standoff, Ganienkeh allowed police on the property for a brief investigation.
The Mohawks have worked collaboratively with local government, however, during times of flooding, to help lower the level of Miner Lake when it threatened to breach the dam there.
But the auction description includes a plainly worded "Notice of Disclosure."
"Bidders should be aware of the historical events that have occurred surrounding the Ganienkeh people," it says, going on to describe the Moss Lake siege and including a link to a New York Times article that covers the helicopter shooting.
Giroux said many notices had been sent to Ganienkeh about the land in arrears. A judge signed an order of foreclosure a few years ago, he said, but the county held off with proceedings in hopes the state and Mohawks could come to some kind of resolution.
"Even a few days ago, (the Governor's Office) was still trying to bring the parties together," he said.
The Governor's Office didn't return a call for comment Thursday.

Knife Sharpeners
Chef's Choice Brushed Metal Angle Select Diamond Hone Sharpener Model: 1520BM
Sale Price: $199.99 + Free Shipping
Chef's Choice Brushed Metal Trizor XV Sharpener EdgeSelect Model: 15BM
Sale Price: $169.99 + Free Shipping
Extend the Lifespan of Your Knife With a Sharpener
With continued use, even the best kitchen knives eventually start to lose their edge. When this occurs, it is important to sharpen the blade. Trying to use a knife with a dull blade can be tedious, annoying, or downright dangerous—the extra force required to manipulate a dull blade can, and does, lead to injury. A great knife sharpener will not only restore the blade to its former sharpness, but will actually help extend its overall lifespan.
Sharpeners aren't just for use in your kitchen at home. You can benefit from a perfectly sharp knife if you work in the food industry, as well as while hunting or camping. A knife is considered an essential survival tool if you enjoy spending time outdoors. From cutting rope, to creating shelter, to starting a fire, a well-sharpened survival knife can save your life.
Today, there are numerous types of knife sharpeners and scissor sharpeners available for purchase today. The majority are electric sharpeners, as they are usually simpler and faster to use than manual sharpeners. An electric sharpener can help take most of the guesswork out of sharpening. Many high-quality models offer precision angle control and multiple sharpening stages to help ensure a flawless edge, whether the blade edge is serrated or fine.

channel service unit
<communications> (CSU) A type of interface used to connect a terminal or computer to a digital medium in the same way that a modem is used for connection to an analogue medium.
A CSU is provided by the communication carrier to customers who wish to use their own equipment to retime and regenerate the incoming signals. The customer must supply all of the transmit logic, receive logic and timing recovery in order to use the CSU, whereas a digital service unit DSU performs these functions.

Team members inexperienced in Agile often resist adopting this framework for a project. Maybe they've heard about some Agile practices, vaguely, and they've jumped to conclusions of their own. And the more strongly we insist on the practice, the more resistance we come up against.This generally happens when we try to introduce this (or any) practice without providing time for the team to understand the principles behind it. A project manager who is interested in Agile wants his next project to adopt Agile, just like that. The common approach is to...

Waterfall methodology has been around for so long that the software organizations that practice it — and their customers — are completely in tune with the process. Recently our resident Agile guru pointed this out when commenting that, with Agile, customers or product owners can't give engineering a memory dump. In other words, they can't give engineering a dump of requirements at the start, because Agile mandates constant collaboration, in which requirements are aligned with the team and the business as well.

By its very nature, Scrum is a constant journey of inspection and adaptation. But there comes a time when it's a good idea for an Agile team (mature or not) to take a step back to review and relearn the foundation principles and practices of Scrum. In other words, have a team "reset."

Several weeks ago, I joined an online discussion about the key skills of an effective ScrumMaster. Everybody actively shared their experiences and thoughts. But I strongly felt that we were talking about the definition of a good ScrumMaster, not an effective one, which was the original topic.This made me recall an experience I had last year. I'd joined a new project that was outsourced, and...

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — FRANKFORT — Donna Ervin couldn't have chosen a better mascot for her made-in-Michigan products store than a giant "Petoskey stone" fish called "Rock Bass."
The 5 1/2-foot fiberglass fish painted to resemble Michigan's distinctive state stone has invited double-takes in front of Ervin's new Glenwood Market in downtown Frankfort since the store opened in May.
"You can stand there and watch the reaction on people's faces," said Ervin, also owner of The Glenwood restaurant overlooking Portage Lake in Onekama and of two other Glenwood Markets in Manistee and Pentwater. "They ask questions like, 'Is this a real Petoskey?' 'Where did you find it?' 'What kind of a fish is it?', like it's a fish species. You just to have smile. He actually has a couple of worn spots from people touching him."
The sculpture's story is no fish tale, though it has all the hallmarks of one.
"I'm telling the story quite a bit because people are coming in and asking about it," Ervin said.
The fish was painted by artist William Hattendorf, of Onekama, as part of a 2007 Fish Out of Water auction for the Portage Lake Watershed endowment fund. It was one of 15 painted by Manistee area artists and donated to the fundraiser.
But first the fish — with names like Salmonenchanted Evening and Mojo Coho — were displayed at Onekama businesses including The Glenwood, where Hattendorf was a server.
"All the businesses got a fish to display for six weeks and ours was his," Ervin said. "Every day we took the fish out to the road and set him by our sign and every night we hauled him back in. He became part of the staff."
When auction time finally arrived, the restaurant threw a going-away party for the fish, even taking pictures with it for a Christmas card, she said.
"Rock Bass" was the last fish auctioned in the most hotly contested bidding war. Ervin said it finally sold for $6,750 to a summer visitor from the Chicago area — who donated it back to the restaurant.
"He's a regular customer who has been coming with his family for 19 years. And he knew how much we loved this fish," Ervin said.
Hattendorf said it took two weeks to paint the fish, the first of several faux-Petoskey stone projects that included a 7-by-5-foot longhorn steer that now resides in Austin, Texas, and a 2-foot diameter golf ball and tee for a Manistee National Golf & Resort home.
"I live on the lake, Lake Michigan, and I love Petoskey stones," said Hattendorf, who is experienced in faux-stone paint finishes like carrara marble. "I always wanted to paint something in a Petoskey stone pattern. As a fine artist, I was intrigued by the pattern. I wanted to get the three-dimension feel of the Petoskey, so I used a stone as a reference and I tackled the little fellow."
He said he started with a coat of metallic acrylic "mica" paint to help simulate the shimmer of the facets inside a Petoskey stone. Then he painted the entire fish in the distinctive coral pattern using fine acrylic paints in black and earth-tone pigments that won't fade. The fish is finished off with a clear coat of automotive paint.
Ervin said the fish is just "summering" in Frankfort and will return to the Onekama restaurant come fall.
"He is the unofficial Glenwood mascot," she said.

The days coming up to releasing my debut album are fast falling away from me you know...and it makes me think about the whole life cycle of music, and how people consume music.
The whole downloading music has always been a grey area....of course it goes on, of course people share music within their circles. And I'd be stupid if I didn't say that I didn't think about how it may affect my release...it does play on my mind.
I've got friends that have downloaded music illegally - it never seemed important because I wasn't part of the business - I was just like everybody else and I didn't truthfully understand all the hard work that went into it. I guess the attitude was, if it's free then it's there for the taking.
Now that I'm head over heels, ploughed feet first into the whole industry then it kinda makes you think about it from a different angle. When you understand about the money and time invested into it, the hard work that goes into touring, paying for studio time, travelling around the country - wow, all I'm gonna say is that it don't come cheap!
I'm not scared about my album leaking... you know I'm not gonna be a flash in the pan artist, I've gotta hundred more of those records in me - this isn't gonna be my only shot. I've been working on my music for 10 years, and I'm not saying music should be disposable but I have so much more to give. I do really feel like free music is a gift and curse - you know, Passout was passed around that way, it was originally put out as a street track.
And then people started talking, people passed the links on and boom - it all kicked off and turned out to be probably the defining moment in my career so far. So in the same breath - in the right way free music can be amazing and can help artist development.
You know free music can sometimes keep people talking and keep the chatter up - it can be a buzz and go full circle and then people support!
Although I guess there are those situations when artists take it into their own hands and randomly give away music without telling their label, their team and then it kinda screws up the whole marketing plan. Sometimes that can backfire.
So you best watch out Mr Cowell, make sure I don't have one wild night in the studio and decide to give away album number two for free! Can you imagine the telling off!?
I guess the moral to this story is repsect the artist and respect the amount of time, effort and creativity they have put into their music - sometimes its not even about the money - it's the price you put on the blood, sweat and tears they have put into that record!
Until next time...See ya, Lab x
