Printers have become the standard for home and office computer use. They can turn out photos nearly indistinguishable from the lab-processed ones, and print them on stickers, transparencies, banners, and greeting cards as well. There is no denying the capabilities of the today's printers. However, in an office setup, it is imperative that the equipment that is used is reliable and affordable.
This is why that the best choice is one that is capable of delivering high performance quality and reliability in your office. The HP LaserJet M3027X MFP is designed to do just that.

Parents should teach their children the difference between skill, ability and character.
Children will admire athletes and entertainers.
Children look up to the strongest, fastest and most talented.
The proliferation of award shows and professional sports leagues suggest we never outgrow that.
But adults should be able to tell the difference between a good person and a good athlete or entertainer.
Children will struggle with those concepts.
That's why it is important for parents to have conversations with their children about their idols.
Former pro football player Aaron Hernandez is in jail, accused in one homicide and a suspect in two other homicides.
Hernandez had a tremendous future. He was a tight end for the perennial Super Bowl contender New England Patriots.
Many fans showed their love for Hernandez by wearing his jersey and cheering him during games last season.
Now Hernandez sits in jail awaiting his fate.
Former National League Most Valuable Player Ryan Braun accepted a 65-game suspension from Major League Baseball this week.
An arbitrator overturned a possible suspension after Braun supposedly failed a drug screen for performance enhancing drugs after his 2011 MVP season.
Now, Braun is serving a suspension in wake of MLB's investigation of his connection to PEDs through a lab in Miami.
Parents should use these examples for their children to learn that skill and ability differ from character.
Parents should teach children that there are worthy role models closer to home.
We could learn to be fans of skill and ability, but admire character in our neighborhoods.

Mahaska County will learn who will be its next supervisor on Monday.
The special election between Tom Rielly and Mark Doland was too close to call Tuesday night. Doland had a 16 vote lead over Rielly — 1,391 for Doland versus 1,375 for Rielly.
The election will be decided by the status of about 65 absentee votes. The outstanding absentee ballots were either surrendered at the polls or were still in the postal system, having been postmarked by Monday.
Mahaska County Auditor Sue Brown said the election will be decided by a simple majority.
In case of a tie, the names of the two contenders would be placed in a container and the board of supervisors would draw the winner, Mahaska County Deputy Auditor — Elections Teresa Paige said.
County election officials are confident that the vote will not be a tie.
Tuesday's election was unique in Mahaska County.
"We haven't had an election this close," Brown said.
Brown said county officials will canvas the vote Monday morning.
"We have to wait for the mail — then we'll canvas," she said. "It will be late morning" by the time a winner is declared, she added.
Paige said the voter turnout for the special election was 2,768 — about 18 percent.

Productivity expert Robby Slaughter will be speaking to Business & Professional Exchange - Hendricks County on the topic of networking in the job search at 8:15 a.m. March 26 at the West Central Conservancy District, 243 S. C.R. 625 E., Avon.
Slaughter is the author of the book The Unbeatable Recipe for Networking Events, and a noted regional and national speaker on topics related to personal development, time management, employee engagement, and individual productivity.
In these challenging economic times, business networking can be more important than ever. Slaughter offers practical advice on how to successfully connect with professionals and build relationships.
"Networking is more than collecting and distributing business cards," Slaughter said in a press release. "It's an opportunity to become systematic about being a resource to others — so they in turn want to become a resource for you."
The presentation includes several interactive components designed specifically with job seekers in mind. Unemployment in the Hendricks County area is steady at 7.1 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Gallup reports that underemployment has dropped to 17.1 percent nationwide. For these people in particular, Slaughter's talk on networking may be most valuable.
To register, e-mail to email@example.com.
The Business & Professional Exchange (BPE) is the area's largest non-profit educational and networking group, focused specifically on professionals in career transition. BPE is a non-profit whose most important role is providing broad-based access to networking opportunities, but it is also unique in its role as a gateway to so many other resources necessary for a successful career search.

(212) 614-0023
(212) 614-0508
The National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS (NBLCA), founded in November 1987, is the oldest and largest not-for-profit organization of its kind in the United States. NBLCA's mission is to educate, organize and empower black leaders, including clergy, elected officials, medical practitioners, business professionals, social policy experts and the media, to meet the challenge of fighting HIV/AIDS and other diseases in their local communities.Grant Project Information
National Umbrella Cooperative Agreement (NUCA)
Rev. Gale Sampson Lee
(212) 614-0023
The National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS' (NBLCA) NUCA project will address the low accessibility of health care services for HIV/AIDS and high incidence of HIV/AIDS in African-American communities, particularly those with high-risk individuals, such as men who have sex with men, youth and transgender individuals. NBLCA will employ its proven Leadership Mobilization Model, which is a culturally competent approach to community mobilization that provides a structured and systematic community level model to mobilize local communities. The model establishes a permanent public health structure that educates, organizes and mobilizes HIV/AIDS prevention services and encourages community organizations, health departments and other community stakeholders to jointly develop and implement mobilization activities to strengthen community access to and utilization of HIV prevention, testing and care services. The intended outcomes of this project include increased capacity to provide HIV/AIDS services within black communities, increased utilization of HIV and other STD prevention services and increased awareness of HIV/AIDS services. In order to determine if such outcomes are reached, pre and post tests and surveys will be used, data will be collected on a range of performance measures, including changes in the knowledge and awareness of HIV/AIDS issues and services and the number of capacity building activities completed and the leadership support for HIV/AIDS awareness activities and campaigns will be documented.

NORMAN — A lengthy awards ceremony was followed by an in-depth informational discussion on the district's latest college-readiness investment at the Norman School Board meeting Monday evening.
Norman Public Schools' general funds, bolstered by a $67,000 grant for Norman High and Norman North high schools, will implement AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) in both schools, introducing a new elective class and teacher support program designed to boost representation of under-served demographics in Advanced Placement classes.
"Our AP courses are an opportunity for our students to really step up and be challenged and apply their experience of being challenged beyond high school," Superintendent Joe Siano said. "The equity aspect of participation in AP became of particular concern to us, and we have to ask ourselves, 'Do the AP classrooms reflect the demographic of the district?'"
Siano said NPS administrators also identified a shortage in what he referred to as a "safety net" for students needing additional academic or emotional support as they pursue the district's most rigorous coursework.
According to AVID Program Manager Rachel Henley, criteria for the ideal AVID student will be eighth and ninth graders who display a disparity between a low grade point average and high performance on aptitude tests.
"We look for the middle students — those who are getting through but not excelling. Those who display a gap between performance and potential, and those who display college potential if appropriately supported," Henley said.
AVID also targets youths who may be first generation college students, low-income, historically underserved at the college level or those struggling due to special circumstances.
"Fifty-five percent of AVID students nationwide are Hispanic and 70 percent qualify for free and reduced lunch," Henley said. "We will establish a four-year, four-section elective class which students will take from freshman to senior year."

By Tom Schultz For the Herald
The Clinton Herald
---- — CAMANCHE -- The Camanche Indians kicked off Senior Night the right way with a 5-1 win over the visiting Prince of Peace Irish on Monday evening. The Indians followed with a 13-3 win to earn the sweep.
"Being a senior my last time, got to go out with a bang," Camanche's Cody Mensinger said, echoing the sentiment held by all three seniors on the team.
Derek Harksen led off Game 1 with a double and was promptly driven in on a Blake Bialas single, giving Camanche the quick 1-0 lead.
The Indians didn't stop there, adding two more runs in the inning on a Seth Boysen single and Kyler Campie double to lead 3-0.
Camanche starter Mensinger settled into a groove, holding the Irish hitless into the fourth inning. Jon Weisner had the first Irish hit, and was driven in two batters later on a long double from Jeremy Peters.
That was the only blemish on the night for Mensinger from the mound. He went all seven innings for the Indians, allowing one run on three hits.
"He's been our ace all year," Camanche coach Daryl Cochran said. "He's just had some bad luck. It's nice to get him out there and get him a W."
Prince of Peace starter Lucas Laufenberg found his own groove in the second inning, striking out four straight batters between the second and third innings. He finished the third allowing another single, but no other damage was done. He was then pulled between innings and relieved by Seth Moeller.
Moeller ran into trouble each of the three innings he was on the mound, but Camanche didn't break through against him until the sixth inning.
Moeller loaded the bases in the fourth on two walks and a bunt single, but he got out of the jam unscathed. In the fifth, he walked Mensinger, who advanced all the way to third before Moeller got out of another jam.
His luck ran out in the sixth. Bialas drove in two runs with a single, extending the Camanche lead to 5-1, the final margin.
The Indians again didn't waste any time scoring in Game 2. Harksen led off with a single on the first pitch he saw and was later driven in, along with Boysen, on a single from Mensinger. By the end of the first, Camanche was up 4-0.
Prince of Peace starter Jon Weisner issued eight walks, which had a hand in the other five runs he allowed. He was lifted in the middle of the second for Devin Bly, who got the Irish out of the inning without any more damage.
Walks, wild pitches and passed balls were the Irish's Achilles' heel on the night. In the second game alone, Prince of Peace walked 13 batters and saw numerous balls go to the backstop, putting runners in scoring position or plating them.
The second inning started off with three straight walks, and all three scored by the time the third out was tallied. The big blow came off the bat of Tanner Atkinson, who knocked in two with a double.
The only inning of the game that Prince of Peace was able to get through without a baserunner was the third, but that trend did not last.
"Our approach is we've been always practicing try to stay patient, stay back and hit the ball up the middle and the other way," Cochran said. "I think the kids did a pretty good job of that tonight."
The fourth inning saw two more runs cross the plate for Camanche as Jacob Peasley delivered two of his four RBIs in the game on a single. That put Camanche up 9-3 heading into the fifth, which would become the final inning.
The Irish brought in Nic Roth to pitch the fifth against the Indians, and he walked the first batter he saw in Mensinger. Camanche then knocked two straight RBI-doubles, making it 11-3 Indians. An error at second base allowed the 12th run to score giving Camanche the nine-run lead. Peasley came up to the plate and smacked a single to left-center to push Camanche over the top to end the game with the 10-run rule.
The three Camanche seniors, Mensinger, Tanner Schreiner and Justin Anderson, were able to celebrate their final home games in their high school careers with solid performances each and more importantly two wins.
"It felt great. It was my last home game of my whole high school career and actually my first win of the season," Mensinger said. "It's fun to play them; they're a lot like us. They're a young team like us, and its fun to play them."
Cochran said: "I enjoyed having those kids. They all were a part of our program for four years, and it was nice to see them get a W on the way out of here."

It could be weeks, even months, before Pointe Coupee police jurors learn where the money the parish made from scrap metal went. The jury president has pulled the item from next week's meeting agenda and that has made some jurors angry.
Police Jury President Melanie Bueche explains it all in his memo. Jurors were expecting to get an update at their regular meeting Tuesday, but Thursday afternoon she sent a memo informing members of the police jury saying "at this time, it has been determined that it is not permissible to discuss this matter at a meeting of the jury." The memo was sent after Bueche met with her parish administrator, his assistant, and Assistant District Attorney John Wayne Jewell.
Bueche asked Jewell to investigate the matter after a police juror told her he was concerned that parish workers were selling old culverts and meters and using that money to throw parties. Former State Legislature Auditor Dan Kyle says because none of the transactions were recorded on the parish accounting books, investigators have a lot of digging to do.
"They can establish the amount of scrap that would have been. Of course, the company they sold it to probably has a record and they can go back through the records and establish how much was sold to employees at the police jury," said Kyle.
So far, the District Attorney's Office confirms it has obtained receipts from last year totaling more than $11,000 in scrap. The paperwork shows Louisiana Scrap Metal in Port Allen paid that amount in cash to Pointe Coupee Maintenance and Utility.
Once the District Attorney's Office finishes its investigation, their findings will be sent to the current legislative auditor.
A law was passed last legislative session to prevent things like this. The law was made effective August 15, 2011. All scrap yards in the state must pay by check or by money order. We have learned the one involved in the Pointe Coupee investigation pays cash. We're told it's up to the Sheriff to enforce that law.

Scarlets survive Zebre scare
ESPN Staff
November 3, 2012
Aled Thomas knocked over 17 points for the Scarlets
© Getty Images
Kristian Phillips crossed late on for the Scarlets as they overcame Zebre 22-13 at the Parc Y Scarlets on Saturday.
The Scarlets, indebted to 17 points from the boot of outside-half Aled Thomas, made hard work of the victory against the Italian outfit, who have now lost all seven of their matches this season.
The Scarlets were without all 12 of their Wales squad players, giving former Ospreys duo Phillips and Gareth Owen a chance to start. Zebre made a late change with full-back Ruggero Trevisan pulled out just before the start to be replaced by Alberto Benettin.
It was the Italians who took the lead on 13 minutes with a penalty for Daniel Halangahu after prop Deacon Manu had transgressed at a ruck. But Halangahu missed two chances to double the lead on 18 and 22 minutes as the Scarlets struggled to get any pattern into their game and spent a lot of the first period trying to get out of their own half. Both Owen and Italy flanker Filippo Ferrarini were yellow-carded by referee Dudley Phillips for an off-the-ball scrap.
The Scarlets then levelled the scores on 36 minutes when Thomas put over a penalty after a collapsed scrum. But Zebre were back in the lead two minutes later when Halangahu kicked his second penalty, and in the dying seconds of the half Thomas' second penalty attempt rebounded off the left upright.
At the start of the second half the Scarlets gained more of a foothold in Zebre territory as the Italians had scrum-half Tito Tebaldi sent to the sin bin for pushing a n opponent. The Scarlets got back on level terms for a second time with a penalty for Thomas on 48 minutes from a scrum offence by Zebre.
And the home side went ahead on 55 minutes with a long-range Thomas penalty as the Scarlets gradually got the upper hand up front and behind. However, Zebre launched a counter attack after the Scarlets lost ball in the Italian 22 with centre Matteo Pratichetti diving over for a converted try and Halangahu adding the extra points.
The Scarlets refused to panic, though, and cut the deficit with a fourth penalty for Thomas before Phillips sped into the right corner after Zebre failed to gather a box kick from replacement scrum-half Aled Davies. Thomas converted the try and then put over his fifth penalty two minutes from time to take Zebre out of losing bonus point range.

RICHMOND, Va. – Labor Day weekend is right around the corner, and the state is expecting more Virginians to travel.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the number of people taking a trip at least 50 miles away from home is expected to go up two percent this year. That equates to nearly 950,000 Virginians traveling between Thursday and Labor Day Monday, which is a nine percent increase since the end of the recession in 2009.
Most Virginians are expected to travel by car. As for cost, AAA anticipates the total cost to be $946 for those traveling, which is up $120.
However, gas prices in Virginia look good for the end of summer. Prices in the state are down about seven percent per gallon compared with this same time last year.

Real World Linux Security
Author: Bob Toxen
Publisher: Prentice-Hall
Price: $44.99 US
Reviewer: Don Marti
Real World Linux Security is the kind of book to which we have to give a good review, as it is seemingly written to butter us up. Bob Toxen says most Linux distributions install too many extra dæmons by default, he lists privacy-violating web advertiser DoubleClick, Inc. as a security issue, and he even uses http://www.linuxjournal.com/ as one of the hosts in an example. We like him already.
We also have to like the concept of a big, fun workbook full of things we can do to increase the security of our Linux systems and how to prepare to get back up with minimum pain if they do get compromised. So please resist the temptation to, after taking one look at these 694 pages of cracks, sploits, bugs and vulnerabilities, go home, unplug your Linux box from the Net and crouch behind it with a shotgun. This book is here to help you, not scare you, and you should be able to get through the most important parts in a weekend. There's no cause for alarm, but no reason to be smug either.
Do you really need this book? We'd like to be able to say you only need it if you offer network services or develop software. In the future, when Linux distributions start to be a little more sensible about their default security policies, you might be able to get by without this book, if you install a locked-down, client-only configuration and subscribe to a mailing list for occasional security updates and bug fixes. But in the future you'll have an apartment on the Moon, too. This is still the wild and wooly Linux scene of Earth, 2001, and every checklist network feature printed on the side of the shrink-wrapped distribution package means more work for you—something you'll have to secure or remove.
Before we get to the good parts of RWLS, let's start with the savage criticism, shall we? First of all, the book mentions browser security but isn't up to the current state of the art in privacy tools. It's good for Toxen to mention that DoubleClick is a security risk, but setting up blackhole routes to some of their servers just gives you something to maintain when DoubleClick moves them. It isn't going to be as effective as making your nameserver authoritative for the doubleclick.net domain or, better yet, running a proxy. And there are better ways to manage cookies than just linking .netscape/cookies to /dev/null.
However, this is basically a book for the system administrator, so no big deal. Users can easily find browser privacy hints—the hard part is locking down services. Strangely enough, though, in Chapter 13 Toxen dismisses the entire network time protocol (NTP) with the comment, "Some people prefer NTP, but it uses only UDP, which is too insecure." Instead of NTP, he recommends using the older netdate or rdate programs from cron and manually calculating the clock drift if a system gets cracked.
NTP has cryptographic authentication capabilities and, even when used without authentication, will only let an attacker who spoofs UDP packets fake out your computer clock v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y. Don't the advantages of having to-the-second synchronized file modification times and log entries on all your systems outweigh the risks of this difficult attack? Why make yourself have to correct the logs when you can least afford the time to do so?
Coming up with a reasonably secure NTP plan, though, is something you should be able to do after you understand the security principles explained in the rest of the book. Hints: use authentication among your in-house NTP servers and those of cooperative ISPs, friends or business associates; use more than one trustworthy public time server; add a radio clock if you're paranoid; and check your logs.
That's about it for the savage criticism. What you can expect to like about this book is a bunch of configuration tweaks, coding tips, preparatory measures to minimize the effects of an intrusion, security philosophy, anecdotes, office politics and tips on how to steal laptops at airports. The book seems to hop around a little, but it's not like you're reading some free-form brain dump here; if you're doing security, you really do have to think about things at more than one level at a time. Toxen's "knucklehead with a laptop and a phone line" who does an end run around the firewall could be anybody—a home user on DSL, or a traveling user who checks into the Embassy Suites in Las Vegas (which I personally recommend if you're ever in Las Vegas) and plugs into the "High Speed Internet Access in Your Room Only $9.95".
If your organization depends mostly on a firewall for security, the laptop scenario should give you the heebie-jeebies. Toxen does discuss firewalling, but mainly concentrates on host-based security—he points out that many threats come from inside the organization. Early in the book, he introduces the concept of an "attack path" which you, as the system administrator, should design so that an intruder has to break through as many difficult layers as possible on the path to root on an important box. A firewall can be one step on the path, so he does cover IP chains.
Web developers will get a lot of help from this book, both in detail-minded advice about CGI and other web technologies, and in architecture for web sites. Toxen's "one-way credit card server" architecture, where a separate box keeps credit card data outside the main commerce site database, is a cool idea and applicable to other types of sensitive data, too. Defense in depth is the way to go. Just because an evil recruiter can break in and get a list of employee addresses shouldn't also mean she can see their Wasserman test results or SAT scores.
RWLS gets a thumbs-up in the fun reading department, too, especially the stories of how Toxen, as a UC-Berkeley student, got and kept root on their BSD UNIX systems. Organizationally, the sections are divided clearly enough so that you can read the general stuff and the specifics about what you run now, then read sections on other services as you add them or take responsibility for them.
Unless you code and run an ambitious internet site on your own, you probably won't be responsible for all the security tasks covered in this book. It reveals just how broad of a field Linux security really is. You'll certainly find things to go through and check on your own system in order to cut your intrusion risks now, and you'll also find thought-provoking reading for planning future projects with security in mind.
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.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — U.S. Rep. Brian Higgins wants the New York Power Authority to pay for the removal of the Robert Moses Parkway.
Using the Niagara Gorge as a backdrop while standing in front of an elevated section of the parkway near the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge, the Buffalo Democrat, whose Congressional district now includes the city of Niagara Falls, announced plans to seek $120 million from the power authority to finance removal efforts along the northern and southern parkway sections.
Higgins described the "poorly utilized roadway" as both a physical and economic barrier to the "renaissance" of Niagara Falls while suggesting that the authority should pay for the implementation of community based removal plans.
"We believe that will unleash the extraordinary potential of Niagara Falls, N.Y. as a great waterfront city drawing those millions of people who visit Niagara Falls, Canada every single year," Higgins said.
The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is expected later this month to reveal its recommended options for the future of the northern section. A consultant working with state parks presented for public review a total of six options for the roadway, including leave it as is and total removal from the Falls to Lewiston.
The southern section has been eyed for several changes aimed at making it more pedestrian friendly and less of an obstacle to waterfront access.
Higgins stopped short of endorsing any specific project, saying he'll support whatever the community decides on both sections, while adding that the key to any plan is the money needed to carry it out.
He said only $5 million is currently available for the south section redesign - too little to carry out the actual construction. The $120 million request by his office represented an estimate of what he believes will be needed to make the sort of progress on renewal efforts that believes the city needs and deserves.
"This is something that's very doable," Higgins said.
The congressman called on the authority to finance the effort because he said it "certainly" has the resources to "make it happen."
The Niagara Power Project in Lewiston has been "key" to the authority's profitability, according to Higgins who said more than $1 billion from the facility has been used in the past six years to fund operations elsewhere within the authority's system. In 2008 alone, Higgins said the authority had a surplus of $309 million, of which $236 million, or 76 percent, came from the Niagara facility.
"We have a rightful claim to that money," Higgins said.
Higgins said Buffalo and Niagara Falls were historically two of the strongest economies in the nation because of the unique natural resources of the Niagara River and Niagara Falls, that is until an act of congress - the Niagara Redevelopment Act passed in 1957 - reallocated the hydropower created by the river to other parts of New York and to seven other states.
"They didn't have the right to do that," Higgins said.
Higgins, who was instrumental in negotiating a 2007 licensing agreement between the power authority, said he can use the relicensing of a downstate power project as leverage to get NYPA to pay for the removal of the parkway. The authority needs federal approval to continue to operate facility, which Higgins said loses money and is subsidized by the Niagara Power Project.
Higgins used a similar relicensing need as leverage when negotiating the relicensing agreement that ultimately led to the financing of substantial improvements along the waterfront in Buffalo.
"We will continue to be very aggressive in advancing this idea because it makes a lot of sense," Higgins said.
"That's what we did in Buffalo and we're prepared to it again," he added. "This community is worth fighting for."
Additional coverage of Congressman Higgins' announcement will be available in Friday's edition of the Niagara Gazette.

At the second security check, located at the gate itself, the contents of all bags will be searched and all fans will be subject to screening with a hand-held metal detector.
To speed the process, prior to arriving at the first security check:
Prior to entering stadium gates, all patrons will be subject to security screening, including metal detector screening and inspection of approved bags or other items carried in. By tendering a ticket and entering the Stadium, you consent to such searches and waive any related claims that you might have against the NFL, its member clubs, their affiliates and stadium landlord, or their agents. If you elect not to consent to the searches, you will be denied entry into the Stadium. The level of screening may be modified on an event by event basis at the discretion of Sports Authority Field at Mile High management.

The Daily Star
---- — Because people are so concerned with their everyday lives, they may not be aware that all of Otsego County is now part of the new 19th Congressional District, which means they are voting for a new United States congressman in November.
The change in our district means Richard Hanna is gone: Richard Hanna, the soft-spoken Republican moderate who managed to evade the toxicity of the Tea Party; the same Rep. Hanna who was more reflective of a predecessor named Sherwood Boehlert in seeing the many shades of gray in political issues and how they affect the lives of common people.
Instead, Otsego County now has a Tea Party replacement for Richard Hanna in the likeable persona of Chris Gibson. Someone who has a distinguished military career and is very cordial at town hall meetings, but unfortunately has a voting record that is in lock-step with the extremist wing of the Republican Party — a narrowly focused record that wants to transform Medicare into a voucher system and diminish the status of women by not only implying they are too immature to take control of their own lives but voting to codify it through legislation in the United States Congress.
The middle class men and women of Otsego County deserve better than someone who takes his marching orders from oil billionaires like the Koch brothers of Texas whose agenda is Big Energy and who now are even strangling the CATO institute into a more radical agenda — an institute that was the darling of Conservative Party legend William F. Buckley Jr. (the same person who threw out the extremist John Birch Society from conservative ranks in the 1960s).
Chris Gibson is no Richard Hanna. Gibson is wrong for Otsego County.

"Inspired by an incredibly popular salad sold in a local award winning market here in Woodstock, VT. Since they don't give out the recipe, I had to figure it out on my own. But I (and others) believe that my version is infinitely better, and I'm sure you will agree. This light, fresh and healthy salad is perfect for summer days and presents well for BBQ's, potlucks, and dinner parties alike and it is guaranteed to impress and get rave reviews every time."

One of the best recipes I have ever made from this site! This was a huge success at our dinner party last night. I used Gorgonzola (husband doesn't like blue cheese). Doubled the garlic because we are big fans and used spring mix for Arugula because the market was out of just Arugula. Thanks Morgan for sharing my favorite new recipe!
I made this with the ingredients listed. Instead of putting the nuts, carrots and oil in the oven, I lightly greased a sheet and did just the carrots. I whisked the oil with the vinegar, honey, garlic and S&P. I added the cooled carrots with the nuts and fruit and then tossed it, adding the lettace at serving time. This is different flavor with a pretty presentation. I will make again and again!
Souix Chef
If I could give this 7 stars I would. This is so over the top yummy! Just from reading the recipe I knew it would be good so I made a huge batch for a potluck. It evaporated it was gone so fast. Only thing I did different is since I tripled the recipe, I only doubled the garlic. But still soooooooo yummy. Thank you for sharing.

Americans' attitudes toward same-sex marriage are changing but not because of President Barack Obama's endorsement of the issue, according to a poll released by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
The poll of 2,973 Americans between June 28-July 9, 2012 found that while partisan divide on the issue "continues to widen," support for same-sex marriage continues to increase among most groups.
Pew attributed the increases in large part to "generational replacement—the arrival of younger, more supportive generations making up a larger share of the population—"rather than presidential support of the issue.
The poll found that earlier this year rallied Democratic support but little else.
"While President Obama's endorsement of gay marriage earlier this year drew significant news coverage and public interest, its effect on public opinion has been limited," according to the Pew poll.
Gov. Martin O'Malley signed into law a bill that in Maryland.
Opponents have forced the bill to a referendum vote in November.

Timonium residents Bruce Eicher and Jorge Gaitan went to Baltimore County Circuit Court Thursday afternoon to get a marriage license—at the advice of their lawyer.
"He said it was safer. If one of us died, we want to make sure the other is taken care of," said Eicher, who is 80 years old.
Thursday marked the first day same-sex couples in Maryland could obtain a marriage license, but Baltimore County's gay and lesbian residents didn't appear to be in a huge rush late in the day.
An employee at the licensing department in circuit court declined to comment on the number of same-sex couples who had sought licenses on Thursday.
Eicher and Gaitan, a 67-year-old native of Colombia, were one of a few couples to obtain a marriage license at the Baltimore County Circuit Court in the afternoon. Eicher called the occasion "anti-climatic."
"We had a civil ceremony 10 years ago in Vermont," he said. "We had all the fun and excitement then."
In a news release, Governor Martin O'Malley shared that he had signed a proclamation Thursday morning enabling Maryland courthouses to issue the licenses. The signature comes about a month after the 2012 elections, where Marylanders voted to approve same-sex marriage on referendum.
The same-sex marriage law goes into effect Jan. 1.
Eicher and Gaitan are pleased by the steps the state took to legalize same-sex marriage.
"I'm a very patient person," Eicher said of the wait before he could legalize his relationship with Gaitan. "But I'm very happy [same-sex marriage] passed referendum. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the country started legalizing it soon as well."
Wedding plans are up in the air for the couple, but they do intend to have a small gathering with close friends.
"I feel happy," Gaitan said. "We're making plans to have a nice vacation to Florida in March."

Top Teachers: Philip Riddle
Brookland M.S., sixth grade
As a child, Philip Riddle noticed that many of the adults he knew spoke of work as if it were a burden.
At the same time, he noticed that many of his teachers relished their jobs – radiating joy in the way that they interacted with students, presented subject matter and provided extra help to those who needed it.
"I just could not imagine waking up every day to go to a job that I did not find joy in," Riddle recalled. "I knew that if I was going to devote a career to something, it had to be something I was passionate about.
"And I learned very early on that it was easy to be passionate about teaching."
Today, parents at Brookland Middle School have noticed that Riddle radiates that same joy with his sixth-graders. They cited his contagious, "extremely happy, pleasant-to-have-around" nature, the "can-do" spirit he encourages in his students and the fairness and integrity he models in the classroom.
One student was so taken by Riddle's fresh, open style that he came home from his first day of school and announced his plans to become a history professor.
But parents add that career choices are not all that Riddle has inspired. He challenges students to become lifelong learners and to make a difference in the world through leadership and service to the community.
Knowing that most of his students will not go on to careers in social studies, Riddle works hard to present the curriculum in a way that engages every student – whether by having the students read together and pose questions, or by sharing stories and interactive sites that will intrigue them.
"A certain percentage of students just love social studies and would look forward to my class even if I just stood up and lectured every day," Riddle acknowledged.
"But all students deserve a better experience than that. Lessons that are engaging challenge students to think critically . . . [and help them] draw connections between what has happened in the past and what is taking place in their world."
As rewarding as classroom teaching may be, however, Riddle said that the most meaningful parts of his day are moments in which he can talk to students one on one. Not only, he said, do these times allow for individualized feedback and instruction, but they also give students a chance to talk about concerns outside of the classroom.
"Students need to know that your priority is them," said Riddle. "And I cannot confine that concern only to what happens in the classroom."
Unfortunately, busy school-day schedules make it difficult to provide enough valuable one-on-one time, and even the best, most passionate teachers can't do it all themselves. A supportive community is crucial to a good school system, believes Riddle, who noted that citizens who volunteer their time and resources are always welcome.
After all, he said, "A world class education for all students provides benefits for everyone – not just the children who attend our schools."
Agencies combine on new entry point to Chickahominy
Canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts soon will have a new access point to the Chickahominy River. VDOT, the James River Association and Henrico County Parks and Recreation are teaming up to establish a new site in Eastern Henrico.
The James River Association negotiated the deal with VDOT to procure official access to the area located just east of I-295 on North Airport Road in Sandston. The site includes a park-and-ride commuter lot bordering the Chickahominy River and has been an unofficial launch site used by paddlers for years. > Read more.
