---- — ELIZABETHTOWN — The start date for a federal disaster declaration has been moved from June 28 to 26, and Essex and Clinton counties have been declared eligible for federal aid from June's severe storms.
Both counties had been hoping the Federal Emergency Management Agency would add those dates, because significant storm damage occurred just before the first June 28 cutoff.
The first declaration had included 11 other counties.
"It took a long time to get, but we got it (the aid)," Essex County Board of Supervisors Chair Randy Douglas (D-Jay) said Monday. "It was very important to us."
Broome and Chautauqua counties were also added to the list.
The counties are now eligible for federal assistance that includes debris removal, emergency protective measures and the repair or replacement of damaged public facilities for the period June 26 to July 4.
The aid will be used to supplement state and local efforts to repair the damage done by the flooding caused by storms that dumped heavy rainfall on the North Country.
"That's good," Clinton County Emergency Services Director Eric Day said Monday of the declaration. "It's definitely a good thing. We're happy."
Essex County had about $500,000 in damage for that period, while Clinton had about $400,000.
Day said that if the disaster date were to be moved back to June 11, it would add up to another $1 million in damages for his county.
"We had another $800,000 to $1 million on June 11. Some of our towns took a beating over the month of June."
Among them was Saranac, said Assemblywoman Janet Duprey (R-Peru).
"They had huge damage."
Douglas and Day both said they'll lobby FEMA to extend the disaster period to June 11.
Allegany, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Herkimer, Madison, Montgomery, Niagara, Oneida, Otsego and Warren counties had previously been declared eligible for federal assistance for the flooding.
U.S. Sens. Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said Monday that they're pleased FEMA added Clinton and Essex counties to the disaster declaration for the heavy rain and flooding last month.
"(That) will help them make repairs and rebuild from the storm," Schumer said in a news release.
"This federal disaster assistance is necessary because it will give reassurance to our communities that the federal government will be there to help as they continue their response efforts and begin to recover from the storm."
Gillibrand said no one can question the severity of the storm events that occurred.
"We need any available federal assistance to continue the hard work of cleaning up and rebuilding," she said in the release.
"These federal funds will go a long way to help our communities stand strong."
Heavy rainfall in June forced hundreds in the affected counties to evacuate from their homes, destroyed large amounts of personal property and rendered critical infrastructure, such as water treatment plants, power stations and canal locks, inoperable or significantly damaged, Gillibrand said.
The reimbursement program is a cost-share program, with the federal government covering at least 75 percent of eligible costs.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo had previously issued a state disaster declaration for all 15 counties.
He requested federal aid after preliminary assessments showed more than $32.7 million in damage to public infrastructure in those areas.
In the Town of Jay, Douglas said, even as they are dealing with new storm damage, they are still recovering from Tropical Storm Irene, which struck in August 2011.
"Right now, we're redoing all our sewer facilities for (the hamlet of) AuSable Forks and Black Brook," he said.
"We've been spending, since Irene, all our time on disasters — there are 52 project sheets just for the Town of Jay alone."
The town borrowed $3 million to do the repairs, with about $2.5 million recovered from government disaster funds so far.
"You have to spend it to get it back."

I love the Green Tea Felt Soap Trio from Leah's site. The beauty and functionality of the felt soap makes it more irresistable! I wouldn't know whether to use it, or display it!

I love the felt flower kit. As a felter my work is so different. I make flowers from the dry felt technique using pre-felt for my wraps but the sculptural flowers from Spiderfelt are truly wonderful. And so naturalistic in vibrant colors.

So many amazing choices grace Leah's site that I am hard pressed to choose only one! The stand outs for me, though, were the Nuno felted items with their soft contours and vaguely vintage feel. Since I have to narrow it down , I'll choose the Lynna Ruffled Nuno Felt Merino Bamboo Silk Tuxedo Scarf for its rich, hand painted color way and the innovation of including bamboo in the mix to add softness, movement and luster! Thanks for introducing me to this incredible artist!

I found this site while searching for information about felting and then checked out Leah's work and I am truly inspired! I can't wait to get to the fabric store and try some! I think my favorites are the soap kits and the Lynna Ruffled Nuno. The silk wool combo is healthy, elegant and beautiful!

Krazy Lock Dude!U-lock, check. Rope, check. Hacksaw, check. Yeah, you'll need the hacksaw not to steal a bike, but to unlock your OWN bike, if you're in or around Williamsburg, NY. According to the Brooklyn Paper: Looks like a local is fed up with bikes crowding up the side-walks…so he has decided to take street justice into his own hands by gluing locks shut with krazy glue. Injecting the super glue into these locks almost seems self-defeating for an anti-bike vigilante who wants the hoard of bikes to…well…go away!? Hang tight fellas and kick that glue outta his hand!

One boy one girl. Half German Shepard half chow. Sweet and loveable. Need somebody to take them off my hands. I love them dearly but unfortunately I'm off to college to stay in a dorm room. I would love to take them with me but can't. I just bought a new bag of puppy chow and I will give it to who ever takes them as well. They are brother and sister and love each other very much. Please take them both together. I would really feel upset if they were separated.

Clive Davis and Christopher Harvey step forward from the backing line — on innumerable Sugar Minott sessions for example — and into the company of the great JA vocal combos of the late seventies: as at home with Viceroys-style harmonies as with traditional Impressions- and doowop-derived flourishes; as comfortable riding Channel One-style steppers as with more laid-back, lovers grooves.
Dug in behind them is drummer Jah Scotty's New Breed Band — also known as the Reckless Breed — falling between the Sylvester Brothers and Itopia as Wackies in-house crew. Included in the lineup this time are two of Lloyd Barnes' sons, Bob and Shaan. Appearing as Reggae Jerry, guitarist Jerry Harris is on top form, and as Jerry Hitster he contributes some startling keyboards (alongside Sylvesters' old-boy Roy Robertson), not least in the opening bars. Most of the rhythms are one-offs, though Roman Soldiers is the militant first outing of Natures Dub, and Living In The Ghetto is Kicking Scott from the same album.
This is a showcase LP, with all tracks extending into inventive dubs. Arrangements are by Lloyd Barnes and Jah Hamma, aka Prince Douglas, who also work the mixing desk.

This Sporting Life - 4/6/2010
Rugby takes a bit of a back seat this weekend; the Super 14 is done and dusted, and the All Blacks' season doesn't start until next weekend. The Wallabies are playing Fiji in Canberra tomorrow (who scheduled THAT venue?), so we can only speculate that our mates from across the ditch weren't confident of involvement in the S14 final by scheduling a test match the following week!
So it's football that has our attention just at the moment, and it's less than two weeks until the All Whites have their first World Cup hit-out. And it's only 8 days until the tournament starts; we're really looking forward to it. The All Whites' preparation continues tomorrow morning with a match against Slovenia, not to be confursed with Slovakia, whom we'll meet at the tournament proper, We'll report in due course. In the meantime, check out this story from today's Herald; a team effort from Chris Rattue, Dylan Cleaver and Winston Aldworth, and well worth a read.
Other than that, Tiger's playing at Jack's place, and we can't see anything other than a flogging for the Warriors against the Dragons. Have we missed anything? You'll tell us, no doubt!
The floor is, as always, yours ...

Sporting thoughts later...T.Walcott on his way to a career as the answer to a sports trivia question...but this thing with the seasons following exact three-month blocks that you Kiwis do bugs the hell out of me.
Winter starts at the solstice, that's the 21st.

Whatever JS; we all know that summer in Yorkshire starts at the solstice, and ends a week later!
As for Walcott; the young hope of English football four years ago ... still, he'll only be 25 when the next World Cup comes around, by which time he might be starting at The Arse.
- June 4, 2010 at 6:44 AM
It was snowing in London before the solstice last winter JS. If you want to live with us kiwis get with the programme.
Anyone know where I can get a couple of Kiwi flags for the car in London - the pommie nutters all have them.
- June 4, 2010 at 7:42 AM
Just think where this country would be without all the great Yorkshiremen who have influenced it - James Cook, James Speight, Barnsley Bill ;)
I've just seen the clip of the Spanish goalie complaining about the official WC ball and conparing it to something you'd buy at the gas station. Classic.
Sorry can't help with your flag search pdm, there's a bloke down the road has one of them Tinotangyrear ones on his Humvee though...

I am still loking for a Golden Boot winner. My first request elicited:
Messi - Argentina
Ronaldo - Portugal
Rooney - Pomerania
I don't go Rooney - I think he will break down, Crouch might be a better bet. But how about:
Torres - Spain. He is the pretty boy who plays for Liverpool I think.
Henri - could he hand ball a few more?
Surely Brazil must have someone - Ronaldinho (sp) perhaps or some other bright prospect. As always Brazil will be my pick for tournament winners.

French Open coming to a close with an Aussie girl the favourite.
Walcott was always on the outer up against a man from Spurs. Needs to move or start getting more game time.
PDM - Rooney needs about 5 games on the trot to get anywhere near form, although I hope I'm wrong. Germany always has a goal scorer. And often some stirker from a random team has a ripper.
- June 4, 2010 at 8:19 AM
pdm - your Brazilian candidate is Luis Fabiano of Seville.
Historically 6 goals is enough to win the GB, and the winner's team will need to at least be a quarter finalist.
I'm going Torres and Spain* FTW.
*Baseless lemming-like optimism for England aside.

I'd have to agree on Torres JS; but anypne, as long as we don't have to endure Crouch's Robot Dance, which always reminds me of John Cleese's Ministry of Silly Walks sketch from the grand old days of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Don't write off my boy Drogba for the Golden Boot. Old wily fox sven might get the north african boys through yet...as long as they don't wear that dreadful kit they wore in the warm up with paraguay.
And on the Rugby front...Japan playing NOrth Harbour as well. Should see the cherry blossoms romp home but JK on Radio Sport this morning saying he expects a close game.
come on the All Whites

@ Anton: I saw that NH vs Japan game previewed on Stuff today. They seem to think it's an international. Never realised North Harbour had seceded...

of course its an international Bear. Browns bay is little johannesberg. Need my passport to get over the bridge now. Just wish some of the Bulls players would come settle here too
oh...and my vote goes to Jeff Wilson for president of the Peoples republic of Albany (unless that's the real reason michael laws is standing down)

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — agateHed:RED SOX 6, YANKEES 1
Bad Birthday? Dustin Pedroia was 0 for 5 on his 30th birthday. He did make a couple of nifty defensive plays, including a diving stop to his right in the sixth inning to rob Alex Rodriguez of a hit.
The big news though was that Pedroia fouled a ball off his shin just above his left ankle in the eighth inning. He finished the at-bat but was replaced by Brock Holt defensively in the ninth.
He had a fluoroscan at the ballpark. It came back negative.
"He's sore," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "We'll check in the morning but at this point we don't anticipate missing any time."
Star of the Game: Red Sox RHP John Lackey earned the win, going 6.2 innings and allowing one run (earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out one. His ERA dropped to 3.22.
Resilient Red Sox: Boston entered yesterday on a third-game losing streak but remained the only team in baseball this season to be without at least four straight games.
Offensive Star: Jacoby Ellsbury went 3 for 5 with two RBIs. ... Shane Victorino, David Ortiz, Mike Carp, Daniel Nava and Will Middlebrooks all had two hits each. One of Ortiz's hits was homer to center field.
Napoli Scratched: Mike Napoli was scratched from the original lineup with a foot ailment. "It's in the plantar fasciitis area of the left foot," Farrell said. "This has been something that's been a maintenance issue with him for a little bit of time here."
Buchholz Update: Clay Buchholz will throw a simulated game to Red Sox hitters on Wednesday in San Francisco.

This easy vegan quiche recipe is a favorite of mine, prepared with pantry staples like garlic, onions, and tofu. While I like to prepare this recipe with the broccoli and crimini mushrooms as directed, feel free to add other veggies of your choice!
Makes one 9" quiche
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
- 1 Recipe Dairy-Free Pie Dough
- 4 T. olive oil, divided
- 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 12 ounces crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
- 1 1/2 t. salt, divided
- 1/4 t. red pepper flakes
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets, rinsed
- 1 lb. firm tofu, crumbled
- 2 T. lemon juice
- 1 T. tahini
- 1 T. rice vinegar
1. Prepare the Dairy-Free Pie Dough according to the instructions, plate in a lightly oiled 9" tart or pie pan, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before filling with the quiche filling and baking.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
3. Meanwhile, make the filling. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 T. of the olive oil, adding the onions once hot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are just softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for about 8 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly caramelized. Add the remaining olive oil, white wine, garlic, fresh basil, 1/2 t. salt and red pepper flakes and cook until the mushrooms have absorbed the liquid and the garlic smells fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Set aside.
4. In a steam basket set over boiling water, steam the broccoli for 3-5 minutes, or until bright green and lightly crisp. Toss with the mushroom mixture and set aside.
5. In the bowl of a food processor, process the tofu, lemon juice, tahini, rice vinegar, and remaining 1 t. salt until smooth. Fold in the mushroom-broccoli mixture, stirring until evenly mixed. Place filling in the prepared pie crust and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Serve hot.

OK, this is a BIG anniversary coming up … and I almost forgot.
I just went to the Marin Cancer Institute for my monthly sandostatin injection when my oncologist Dr. Alex Metzger reminded me that it's been almost a year since I started this regular treatment.
It was a year ago on June 8 when I was in surgery at Stanford Hospital to remove some suspicious lymph nodes that showed signs of carcinoid cancer.
It was tough just to get out of bed with the pain from where a team of surgeons led by Dr. Jeffrey Norton sliced open my gut. For days I pushed myself harder and harder, turning the laps around the hospital ward into an endurance race — one I couldn't lose.
A week later I started the injections. The chemical mix seems to be doing the job by keeping the cancer at bay. Even if it hasn't disappeared, at least it isn't spreading, according to the latest scans.
There were a lot of ups and downs during an uncertain year. Constant scans and tests made me nervous — but not radioactive — although everything seems to going as well as it can.
The recovery wasn't easy — on me or my family. I still had a bandage over the incision a month later when Tracy and I stood in the winner's circle at the racetrack in Sonoma and exchanged wedding vows in front of more than 35,000 people during the NHRA drag races.
That's another anniversary to celebrate next month.
So, how do we celebrate this month? What exactly are we celebrating?
We're celebrating life: another year of birthdays and anniversaries, a year of changes and hope, a year of happiness.
We'll celebrate with friends and family — and good food. We'll celebrate with warm hearts knowing that we've survived a year of challenges and we're stronger than ever. We'll celebrate with wishes for an even better year to come — perhaps without quite so many obstacles.

Questions and Innovation
by Melissa Ryan, Sun Nov 04, 2007 at 07:02:44 AM EST
A couple of days ago Mike Lux had a post up at Open Left about the need for new ideas in progressive politics. This paragraph in particular struck me.
What this Party, and the entire progressive movement, need in terms of their tactics is diversification, creativity and innovation. The consultants who sell campaigns and organizations the same old hackneyed ideas over and over and over again ought to be drummed out of the business, but it's really not their fault, because if there is a buyer in the marketplace for this kind of crap, there will always be a seller. Organization leaders and candidates need to take the responsibility for going along with these same old tactics, and at least try- please, try- to be just a little bit more creative.
The truth is that this way of thinking isn't limited to politics. I've lost count of the number of times people have justified continuing a failed practice to me by saying "but that's the way we've always done things." The same kind of stagnation routinely occurs in companies, nonprofits, and community groups.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. How can campaigns and progressive organizations become more innovative? And how can we in the netroots encourage those efforts?

As Brian Windhorst informs us via his blog, our beloved Cavaliers have installed a new floor, one our beloved mother called to tell us looks like "a championship floor".
We like this PHX-esque model way more than the old one, and this is just more evidence of Dan Gilbert's ongoing attempt to be a really super great owner.
Windhorst says Dan also dumped $3M into overhauling Cavs HQ into an awesome futuristic carnival, complete with infinite flatscreen TVs and "blinking light steps", which means it now looks exactly like our house, minus the part about it being a house, the "blinking light steps", and the infinite flatscreen TVs.

Intel Core i processors on a budget
The current latest version of intel processor which is often called the Core i are actually second generation of Core i processors and they are based on the Sandy Bridge architecture, these Sandy bridge chips i3, i5 and i7 are very powerful processors but again they are a bit expensive if you are on a tight budget.
But intel has some other chips that are again based on the Sandy Bridge architecture and these processors are not that expensive but provide decent computing and also have the graphic processing built into the main processors just like the i3, i5 and the i7 chips and in this video I show you about the same and how you can build and decent computer on a budget based on these new chips.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Since the first of the year, 135 new businesses have applied for licenses in Albany. That's up from last year, and many of those new business owners decided to become entrepreneurs after losing their jobs.
They're adding to the tax base and helping the economy.
In a tough economy and job market Cathy McLeod has found treasure. She opened Treasure Island Consignment Store three weeks ago off Westover Boulevard. "Starting something new, you never really know is it's going to fail or succeed," said McLeod.
It's that same tough economy that could actually send customers into Treasure Island. "With today's economy people are looking for a place to go to be able to buy clothes and furniture and home decor at good prices."
Colby Wiggins is betting on it too, the same week he opened his own business oasis. Wiggins Oasis Express Wash, value car wash, with prices between five and 14 dollars hopes to also attract value-conscious customers.
"You see a lot of them dropping their prices to five dollars, you can get a five dollar sandwich, you can get a dollar value meal at some places and this is just along that same concept that make people money stretch out a little longer," he said.
While small businesses like the Cruz Thru drive thru convenience store that opened last week won't bring hundreds or even 20 jobs, in its own small way it help the city's tax base.
"It does add up, but unfortunately it doesn't bring the type of dollars that larger industries do," said Deputy Finance Director Kimberly Carter.
Larger industries bring in large suppliers and other supplementary ancillary industries to support them. It has created jobs for the five women running the business who were recently laid off from their jobs at a health care company.
Albany earned the designation of an entrepreneur friendly community several years ago. You can get information to help you start a business plus other programs and resources at the Micro-Business Center.

Perils Almost Impossible to Get Out Of!
By SteveZ
from Orlando, FL
About Me Casual Viewer
Best Uses
Comments about DCU Justice League: Doom (Special Edition) DVD:
As a long time fan of the JLA, I am intrigued with this idea of having the group's foes tap into the Bat Cave's computer to get the Dark Knight's very own plans for how to take down each of the group members. It was good to have Cyborg come in as a hero not yet in Batman's files. The line from Batman at the very end in answer to Superman's question of why there wasn't any plan for the Dark Knight's downfall is a classic!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Motorola Foundation this week kicked off its Innovation Generation Grants program for 2009. The funding is aimed at supporting programs for preK-12 students designed to spur interest in science, technology, engineering, and math--including after-school programs, science and math clubs, and other initiatives.
The Motorola grants are focused on programs serving groups that are highly underrepresented in STEM careers, particularly "girls and underrepresented minorities," according to the foundation. Last year's program awarded $4 million in grants to 92 schools and organizations in the United States. This year's program will award $5 million in grants, with a limit on individual grant requests of $75,000. At least 25 percent of the funding will be earmarked for new programs that are not merely extensions of existing programs.
Criteria for funding priority in the 2009 grant process include:
Motorola said programs that "take place in communities where Motorola has an employee presence in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas" and "engage Motorola employees as volunteers" will also receive funding priority.
The deadline for applications to the 2009 Innovation Generation Grants program is Feb. 15. All non-profit organizations are eligible to apply, including schools and school districts. Applications and further information can be found on the Motorola Foundation's site here.

SHORELINE, Wash. -- Shoreline fire officials say arson caused Friday morning's fire at a vacant former furniture store in Shoreline. The man arrested in Shoreline shortly after the blaze erupted is a person of interest in the Shoreline fire and the recent Greenwood area arson fires.
The three-alarm fire broke out at the abandoned business on Aurora Avenue N. at N. 170th Street just after midnight. It took firefighters nearly four hours to knock down the flames. Fire investigators believe the fire may have started in an outbuilding in the rear and spread to the main building.
Firefighters from several districts tried to beat down the flames. At one point heavy, dense smoke forced firefighters to battle the fire defensively. Strong winds and heavy rain helped dissipate the smoke, and now firefighters are mopping up any hot spots. There were no reports of injuries.
Shoreline fire officials say they arrested the man approximately 10 blocks from the Shoreline fire incident around 12:30 a.m..
Investigators from both Seattle and Shoreline are calling him a person of interest in the fires - and not yet a suspect.
Traffic has been detoured at the scene at 170th and Highway 99, also known as Aurora Ave. Granfors says traffic in a 10-block radius around the fire is affected. Northbound Aurora Avenue is closed from 155th to 175th; southbound traffic has re-opened. Drivers are urged to detour around the area using Meridian Avenue.

n To the University of Michigan's C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor for stepping forward to offer free open-heart surgery for Nguyen Duyen, a Vietnamese exchange student. Nguyen, 17, feared she'd have to leave her host family in Mancelona, owing to the heart defect discovered in September. U-M will pick up the medical tab. Surgery is scheduled for Friday, and Nguyen's mom will fly in from Vietnam to be with her, said Jody Garchow, her host mother. Nguyen was unaware she had problems until a nurse heard a heart murmur during a routine sports physical.
n To the Nature Conservancy, which will has purchased most of an uninhabited Lake Michigan island that provides crucial stopover habitat for migratory birds, assuring it will remain permanently undeveloped and protected. St. Martin Island is part of a chain stretching between Wisconsin's Door Peninsula and Michigan's Garden Peninsula. Millions of sparrows, warblers and other species stop to take a break and feed there before continuing their journey south during fall migration and north in springtime. More than 100 species have been documented on the island.
n To Traverse City Central High School's Black & Gold student newspaper, which has been awarded a "Spartan," the state's highest award for high school newspapers. This Spartan is for the 2012-2013 school year, and is on top of the several dozen awards the staff and paper had won for last years's work. Co-editors were Katie Stanton and Miranda Winowiecki.
n To Northwestern Michigan College students who made it to the semifinals of a statewide entrepreneur competition called the Innovation Competition. Laurie Curtis, the daughter of Kewadin apple farmers, created an apple washing and size-sorting system called FARM GRADE that can be used by small- and mid-size farms. Dakota Porter, 18, and his brother, Garret, 15, devised an LED-lighting kit that allows people to custom-decorate their own sports equipment, such as snowboards. Jason Roggensee, a Leelanau farmer, invented a tarp-like bag that can be dragged off-road by a vehicle and transport up to 400 pounds. Christopher Schmidt pitched an idea to use drones to help farmers monitor fields and electric companies inspect power lines.

Tennessee Gov. Don Sundquist Supports Yucca Mountain
"Nearly constant review of these activities [scientific and environmental studies] by various commissions, boards, and advisory agencies has not identified disqualifying site characteristics. At this time, in addition to protecting future generations and the environment by permanently isolating high-level nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel, it will also take in account post September 11 reality of securing and protecting the current numerous spent fuel storage locations across the nation. Your positive recommendation of the Yucca Mountain site will make the best use of national resources."

Visiting Scientist Sends Physics World Spinning

Department Chair Collaborating on Major Effort
Einstein was right (though for the wrong reason!)
At least that's what the work of Shahriar S. Afshar, a visiting research professor at Rowan University, seems to be proving about an 80-year-old debate that had Einstein on the losing side.
And in the world of physics and academia, that's big news.
Einstein claimed that quantum physics was incomplete. Afshar, who is working this summer with Drs. Eduardo Flores and Ernst Knoesel, professors in Rowan?s Physics Department, has proposed an experiment that can test whether or not Einstein?s claim was right. The results of his preliminary work, conducted in 2001, are appearing in the July 24 issue of New Scientist magazine.
Afshar conducted his initial theoretical and experimental work at Boston's Institute for Radiation-Induced Mass Studies (IRIMS), where he serves the privately funded organization as a principal investigator. He later continued his work at the Harvard University Physics Department as a research scholar, where he was able to verify his initial findings.
In his experiment, Afshar uses a laser beam and a screen with two small pinholes relatively far from each other. A particle goes through a pinhole and eventually hits a screen for detection. Afshar can tell what pinhole the particle goes through, and at the same time he can show that the particle?s path is affected by both pinholes. According to the standard theory of quantum physics, this is not possible. If the result of the experiment holds, it means that the standard theory of quantum mechanics is still incomplete, which was Einstein?s long-held view.
This summer, Afshar, Flores and Knoesel are conducting follow-up experiments in Rowan's state-of-the-art Science Hall to determine whether they can validate Afshar?s initial findings for single photons. In the experiment at Rowan, the team is using a single photon source instead of a beam. Some critics have pointed out that the results of the experiment with a laser beam could be explained in terms of classical physics. Thus, the use of single particles is critical and would be able to finally determine the validity of Afshar?s claims.
If the next round of experiments does support Afshar?s findings, this can mean a whole new way of looking at quantum theory among physicists, who have long-accepted the opinion of Einstein's rival on the subject, Danish scientist Niels Bohr. And that can have meaning for the lay community as well.
Flores noted, ?It is likely that the interpretation problems of quantum mechanics are a hint that there is something new to learn about our physical world. There might be either a new force or a new physical property to be discovered. The problems of quantum mechanics will not be resolved unless they are exposed and studied. Thus, doing this experiment at Rowan is an exciting prospect.?

There will be lots of music in the air on May 11 and 12 at Port Chester Middle School.
The school is again hosting the annual New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) Spring Solo and Ensemble Evaluation Festival, at which about 2,000 students from lower Westchester County schools will perform for evaluation by certified adjudicators.
Among the participants will be brass, woodwind and percussion students as well as string players and vocalists. Students are assigned a 10- or 15-minute time slot depending on the level of their solo, and receive a grade and comments on their performance from their adjudicators.
Beginning with 6th-graders, this evaluation also serves as their tryout for the following year's All-County, Area All-State and All-State performing groups.
Port Chester hosted the NYSSMA Festival in 1999, 2003 and 2006.

While state regulations differ in regards to assisted living facilities, expect that a survey process of some sort is in place in every state.
By way of example, we are using the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services survey guides as an example. In our first article we provided an overview of the survey process. In this article we look at plans of correction, actions you may need to take as a result of surveyor findings.
Established completion dates may be set by the state or it may be specified that the plan of correction be reviewed the next time an assisted living surveyor is at the facility.
Failure to correct a citation by the date specified may result in sanctions according to applicable statutes and administrative code provisions, and may include:
- A forfeiture or an increased forfeiture.
- Suspension of admissions.
- Imposed plan of correction by the department.
- Suspension or revocation of the facility's license.
Facilities must submit a plan of correction (POC) for each violation identified in the statement of deficiency. Plans of correction must be completed and mailed to the appropriate regional office within 30 calendar days following receipt of the statement of deficiencies.
Each Plan of Correction must address all of the following:
- What corrective action and system changes will be made to ensure violations are corrected and regulatory compliance is maintained?
- Who is responsible for monitoring for continued regulatory compliance?
- Department Orders, if applicable. Submit documentation, if requested.
- Date of completion for each corrective action (Violation, Order).
Failure to submit a plan of correction is typically a violation of statutory order and could result in further sanctions.
A facility may contest the imposition of a statutory sanction, revocation, or denial of licensure as allowed by statute and administrative code.
States will also entertain granting an exemption from certain requirements. Sometime an alternative means of meeting a requirement will be requested.
While states vary, a typical process for requesting a waiver my look like this:
- Request waiver.
- Specify the rule from which the waiver is requested; the time period for which the waiver is requested; the reason for the request.
- Supply alternative actions proposed if a variance is requested, or the specific consumers or rooms affected if a waiver is requested.
- Document that consumer health, safety or welfare will not be adversely affected.
The state will grant or deny a request, in writing, as allowed by the applicable regulation for each provider type. They may grant a waiver when it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the department that granting it will not jeopardize the health, safety, welfare, or rights to any consumer.
The state may modify the terms of a waiver, impose conditions, or limit its duration. And it may revoke a previously approved waiver, approval, variance, or exception if:
- It determines that continuance will adversely affect the health, safety, or welfare of the consumers.
- The facility fails to comply with the conditions imposed.
- It is required by a change in state or federal law, or by administrative rule.
- The licensee notifies the department in writing that it wishes to relinquish the waiver.
Each year, the American Health Care Association / National Center for Assisted Living publishes a regulatory update on states that have reported making statutory, regulatory, or policy changes impacting assisted living/residential care communities. It is worth reviewing. They are also a good source for keeping abreast of quality initiatives that can improve your organization.
Also keep in mind that a few states have more than one agency involved in conducting inspections or a different agency than the licensing agency may conduct inspections. For example, in Iowa, the Department of Elder Affairs develops rules and regulations while the Department of Inspections and Appeals, Health Facilities Division monitors, inspects and enforces regulations.
Most states require that assisted living facilities be inspected annually, biannually, biennially, or at a specified time between one and two years, as well as on complaint by a resident, family member. In most states, facility administrators and staff are aware that the department will conduct an initial inspection within a certain time frame. However, subsequent periodic inspections and complaint investigation inspections are usually unannounced.
Use this article as one resource in preparing for the survey. Talk to other providers and also carefully review your particular state regulations. And of course read our blog on this site for up-to-date information. At the end of the day this is about providing a quality of life for residents. If you have been doing the right things all along, you should have no worries. Make sure to communicate positive survey results to residents and families as well as these become marketing tools for you as well.

Reports: Angels, Indians want Burnett tooBy
Via Ken Rosenthal and Jon Heyman, both the Angels and Indians have expressed interest in trading for A.J. Burnett, though the Halos are one of ten teams included in his no-trade clause and he won't waive it. Talks with the Tribe apparently revolve around Burnett and Travis Hafner, who'd fit that left-handed DH role beautifully. Cleveland isn't exactly thrilled about that potential swap though, plus Pronk is owed $15.75M next year (including the buyout of his 2013 option). They'd have to figure out the money.
Over the weekend we heard that four teams have interest in Burnett, one being the Pirates and one being a club on his no-trade list. That means we're down to just one mystery team.
63 Comments»
Hafner v RHP in 2011
Sounds good! Let's hope they can make a deal.
Pronk has played 150 games once in his career and he's a DH! If I had to bet on one player who used steroids it would be Hafner. He is a broken down juice head. Stay away
could also say
Hafner 2nd Half of 2011
Love the upside, but there is so much risk health wise, not a slam dunk but I'm intrigued, depends on the money involved, most likely trading for him is better than getting a little more salary relief from Pirates.
Are those the overall second half numbers for Hafner? What were his second half numbers vs right handed pitching?
An irrelevantly small sample size.
Never said it wasn't… But I wasn't the one who put up his 2nd half numbers that contain a whopping 181 PA sample size in the first place.
Lefty, power, contract year, DO IT!
Hafner would be a great fit, but the financial side of this isn't looking the best for the Yankees. I'd rather dump Burnett for a few prospects and save $$$$ over the next two years, and fill the DH in-house (Vazquez) or preferably with the likes of Johnny Damon.
Yanks are targeting the wrong player. I said this about a month ago, trade Swisher and AJ for Carmona and Sizemore. Carmona's identity problem can be solved by dropping the charges. A reunion with CC will help Carmona get back to his Cy Young form. Sizemore is now two years removed from his injury and due for a comeback. The Indians have been after Swisher for awhile.
Would Burnett and $4 to $5.5 million going to the Indians get this trade done?
I would do it straight up, I wouldn't be willing to eat any money, we'd still want that 2 million they say we had for a DH to sign Eric Chavez.
I'm sure the teams would figure out a way to make the money work, and Hafner's under contract for a year less than AJ, unless I'm reading this wrong. At the end of the day, something could be worked out which allows for the Yanks to have a better LH DH option for not too much more cash.
I'm a fan.
I know AJ's wife doesn't like flying, but he'd be crazy not to waive that no-trade condition to the Angels. Pittsburgh, Cleveleand or Anaheim. Hmmmm????
Seems like these stories are leaking out now by the Yankees, probably in an attempt to get the Pirates to up their package.
While I recognize that the Angels are on his no trade list, is there any idea of what the Angels would give up in return for AJ?
Maybe I'm just too big a fan of reclamation projects, but I'd love to see the Yanks get Kendrys Morales and see if he can get it back. Dude can hit. He doesn't really have a spot there with Albert and Trumbo et al.
Yeah, that's not happening. : -)
Of course it won't happen, but I was thinking an A.J for Abreu trade, although the money figures would have to be worked out.
I want MORALES! What a beast before the freak injury. I doubt Allen will waive his no trade clause though.
If they are still hungry for pitching come May, make a Hughes for Morales swap.
Dual reclaimation project swap, and I will always have more faith in the hitter getting his stroke back than the pitcher remembering how to pitch.
We might be down to just one mystery team, but it's also possible that the Angels and/or Indians were not one of the original four interested in Burnett. Personally, I hope he is traded ASAP, and I'm particularly intrigued by the possibility of having Travis Hafner as the DH instead of either Ibanez, Damon, or Matsui. I mean, Hafner's the only one with decent numbers in terms of average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage – the other three had pretty awful numbers in those departments last year. Yes, Hafner's salary is huge, but this is the Yankees after all, and he might be worth the money.
No shit, Sherlock:
Wallace Matthews continues to serve no purpose.
LOL, tomorrow he'll report Jameson Taillon isn't one of the players, then Sterling Marte. And ESPN is paying this guy?
I think we have to get it done with Cleveland for Hafner. If the interest is there on the Indians side the Yanks need to add mid level prospects and toss in some cash until they say when.
Its more likely that a deal with the Angels would involve Bobby Abreu, not Morales. Abreu really has no role now with the return of Morales and the emergence of Trumbo. Plus, he's owed 9 mill this year. But its moot cause AJ won't go there
How bout a 3-way? Angels kick in $3M to the Pirates and they get the 2 prospects. Pitts get AJ, plus $3M from LA and $16M from us. We get Abreu for 1 year.
3-way trades are very tough to pull off because there's so many moving parts, obviously.
Doesn't seem that complicated. LAA wants to move Abreu for salary relief and a glut of 1b/of/dh, Pitts wants AJ at less than half price and we want a LH DH and salary relief.
Hard to argue against this one. Hafner would be beastly in YS.
Agreed – but can he stay healthy?
The Mystery team I believe that been speculated is… the Toronto Blue Jays.
If it's Toronto forget about making a better trade than what Pittsburgh can offer. Anthoupoulos is a good negatiator, since he got rid of that ridiculous Vernon Wells contract.
royals=mystery team
I can't see the Indians giving up Hafner easily. Seems like wishful thinking on the Yankees part.
Except his cost is higher enough, I can almost believe it.
seems like extremely wishful thinking
a team trying to be competitive with an already below average offense giving up one of their middle of the order bats for a mediocre fifth starter
doesn't seem at all likely from Cleveland's standpoint
mystery teams – KC or the Marlins.
funny, I thought Miami would make a great dark horse here.
LoMo for AJ and we foot $20M of the bill. and I will drive AJ and his smokin hot wife to Miami myself.
Sounds like this AJ trade is actually going to happen. There seem to be some unrealistic expectations on the return though. Remember the Derek Lowe deal. We will eat at least half of AJ's salary and get non-prospects in return. And I think we're all still ok with that.
Indians ain´t going to take on Burnett for 2 years at 8 million per year. They got Lowe for one year 5 million.
So to me an even swap Burnett for Hafner seems unlikely.
Hard to understand why Pirates so inflexible on giving up players. Yanks could really reduce Bucs' cash contribution if Bucs agree to surrender one of their outfield prospects. They have several, along with McCutchen and Tabata. Yanks could also throw in offsetting prospect. Not being privy to negotiations hard to say what's really been discussed. But the reports make it sound like the Pirates are being inflexible — like they have some policy not to surrender prospects under any circumstances — even if their overall position is improved in swapping for a Yankee prospect that better matches their own future needs.
You can't understand it?
AJ Burnett will be an upgrade for them this year but they are in no way contending. They have money they tried to spend but didn't so they are willing to spend it on Burnett. Their window for contention is in a few years, so they aren't willing to sacrifice that at all for a potential few extra wins when those wins mean very little.
That's all fine. But Pirates might also benefit from prospect exchange. The do have outfielder surplus. Yanks need outfielders. Not sure what Bucs need. But in any case, they may be better positioned to compete this year and next than you seem to think. They were in first place til the end of July. They have some pretty highly rated prospects maturing along with young roster talent and could compete again, certainly by 2013.
You're right about the Pirates prospects of contention. I was going to include something about that, but I didn't want to write a manifesto. Even with that possibility, their young talent is a few seasons away, so they would still be aiming for maximum competitiveness a few years from now.
we're talking AJ here. maybe he's the reason they're inflexible.
AJ has certainly done more over the last 10 years or so than the Pittsburgh Pirates.
They're not getting AJ from the last 10 years.
and the last 2 years? the yanks don't have a lot of leverage with the pirates here. first, aj isn't very good. second, the pirates are very unlikely to contend the next couple of years with aj, so there's no need to break the bank for him.
Yankees don't need to do hat in hand deals w/the Pittsburgh Pirates. They do need to stop acting as if they are the Pittsburgh Pirates. Make a real @#%&*! deal.
What does this nonsense mean?
Burnett to Pirates, prospects to Angels , Abreu and Morales to the Yankees. Win Win !
Why would the Pirates mortgage the future for AJ Burnett?
it works… in fantasy land
but seriously, this only works if the Yankees foot almost all the cash, the Bucs surrender shit prospects and split the cash with Anaheim. and still its a stretch
The only thing I don't like about trading AJ to the Indians is that it sets up a game where AJ will pitch against the Yanks, and I bet he totally shuts them down.
Then, we'll have to listen to the players say dumb things like "he has great stuff" and "he has the ability to dominate any lineup"
Pirates get AJ, the Yankees get that lefty pitcher from India who won the, "So, You Think You Can Pitch Contest" (or something like that) a few years ago.
The Hafner for Burnett deal is no longer on the table, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch tweets.
So much for that
This is the lowest stakes/risk/reward bidding war I've ever observed. Kudos to Cashman for getting it going though. The Indians, Pirates, and Yankees dealing not much of anything.
Who will blink first? Who will play Cashman in the movie?
mystery team is either Orioles or KC. Baltimore's rotation needs help.
Brian Cashman is doing a very good job making a market out of nothing.
AJ for Tabata/Chow

ORLANDO, Fla. — Georgia coach Mark Richt wants the lasting memory his team has of this season to be a positive one.
Nothing will give the sixth-ranked Bulldogs a second chance to get back the 5 yards they came up short in their SEC championship game loss to Alabama.
Still, Richt is hoping that Tuesday's Capital One Bowl against equally redemption-minded Nebraska will be a huge initial step.
"There's always a scene in the locker room after the game, and I'm going to be addressing seniors for the very last time," Richt said. "You want that last memory to be a good one. That's a big motivating factor for me and I think it probably is for anyone who's thinking 'Hey, this might be my last ball game.' "
On the other side of the field will be a Nebraska team that has been asked ad nauseam this week about how it could possibly get over its humiliating 70-31 loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game.
Like Georgia, Nebraska also enters the postseason with a two-game bowl losing streak. It's why Cornhuskers coach Bo Pelini hasn't sugarcoated at all this week the reality of the disappointment his team carries with it into this game.
"No, matter what happens…you'll never wipe that taste out of your mouth," Pelini said. "That isn't going away, regardless of what happens (Tuesday). To me life is about opportunities. It's about challenges. It's what drives me and it's why I'm in this profession. It's why I do what I do and why the players play."
Their previous shortcomings aside, both teams can also achieve program milestones with a win Tuesday.
Only two previous Georgia teams have recorded 12 victories in a season, and Nebraska is trying for its first 11-win season since 2001.
"Definitely looking forward to it. It's been kind of an up and down year, but I am just excited to play against Georgia," Nebraska senior running back Rex Burkhead said.
Burkhead only appeared in seven games this season as he battled a left knee injury that kept him on the sidelines at different points this season.
It put the Cornhuskers primary rushing duties on junior quarterback Taylor Martinez and sophomore running back Ameer Abdullah, who led the team with 1,089 yards. Martinez had a team-high 10 rushing scores. Freshman Imani Cross also chipped in seven touchdowns.
