Prerequisite: Japanese 2001, or equivalent.
This course is designed to introduce students whose native language is not Japanese to basic-level writing skills that go beyond mere sentence manipulation drills. With a focus on paragraph development, students will learn, step by step, the organizational principles that will help them express themselves effectively in Japanese on familiar topics, such as family, daily activities, personal possessions and experiences. Students will also learn to incorporate newly learned vocabulary and structures effectively into their writing to further enhance their overall Japanese language skills.
Prerequisite: Japanese 2002, or equivalent.
This course is designed to accomplish three major objectives to further develop students' Japanese language proficiency. First, it will help students have a strong command of the basic and more complicated rules of Japanese grammar already introduced in Japanese 1001, 1002, 2001, & 2002.

Second, it will help students improve their levels of formality in speaking in different situations of their everyday conversation and academic discourse. Third, it will also help students develop critical thinking and manners for discussion in Japanese. Fourth, it will help students learn idiomatic expressions and more involved syntactical forms.

Japanese 4002 | Advanced Japanese IV (3 credits)
Prerequisite: Japanese 4001, or equivalent.
This is the last one of four courses in a series of Advanced Japanese courses which focuses on the levels of formality or politeness in conversation as well as on fifteen socio-cultural topics in the Japanese speaking community.

Each topic has its own focus in the speaking section such as interviewing, debating academic and social issues, and agreeing and disagreeing with others' opinions, to appropriately deal with the issues of politeness. Students are expected to use integrated skills to deal with each task presented in each chapter and also to build up their vocabulary and learn Chinese characters (Kanji) while completing reading, speaking, and grammar tasks. Moreover, students are required to conduct interviews with three people about a socio-cultural issue selected and to make a report on the results in two forms: an oral report in class and a written short paper.

National Registration Department (NRD) (known as Jabatan Pendaftaran
Negara, JPN in Malay) is a Department under the Ministry of Home
Affairs. It is responsible for the registration of important events of
each individual such as birth, death, adoption, marriage and divorce. In
addition, NRD is also responsible for determining citizenship status and
issuing individual identification document in the form of identity card
to those who are eligible.
The Identity card for the Federation of Malaya was issued on 2 August
1960. Initially, birth, death, adoption, citizenship and marriages
matters were placed under state governments until federal laws were
drafted to serve the public with regard to registration matters. The
National Registration Department was established to administer the acts
for Parliament until today.
National Registration Department was established after the Emergency
(Registration Areas) Regulations 1948 were enforced as one of the
measures to contain the security threats. These regulations required all
residents to register and obtain an identity card when they attained the
age of 12 and above. The Department was also given additional functions
of registration all important events such as birth, death, adoption,
marriage, divorce and citizenship.
Since its establishment, this Department has shifted to several
buildings in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. Initially, the Headquarters of
the National Registration Department was located at Bangunan Sulaiman,
Jalan Damansara, Kuala Lumpur. In 1958, it was relocated to the Federal
Building in Petaling Jaya to accommodate the increasing records,
documents and staff. After several years, it was again relocated to the
Selangor State Economic Development Corporation building and it remained
there until December 2004 when it was shifted to Precinct 2, Federal
Government Administrative Centre, Putrajaya.

A first round loss to a short-handed Chicago Bulls team probably wasn't how many within the Brooklyn Nets organization saw the team's season ending. The 99-93 loss Saturday night brings uncertainty about the team's summer, especially for its interim coach P.J. Carlesimo.
While Carlesimo didn't directly address his future after the game, Yahoo! Sports' Dan Devine reported that Carlesimo was seen in the press room shaking hands and saying a couple of "so-longs." Despite the early exit from the playoffs, point guard Deron Williams said he enjoyed playing for Carlesimo this season and wants him back next season.
"I think he did a great job. With everything that went on this season, I think he did a great job of leading us, getting us to that fourth-seed," Williams said. "I'd love to see him back, but you know that's not up to me."
Carlesimo took over for Avery Johnson in late December and led the team to a 35-19 record, but Carlesimo was given no assurances about his job security past this season. The Nets also have decisions to make with their bench, as Andray Blatche, Keith Bogans and Jerry Stackhouse are all unrestricted free agents, while C.J. Watson has a player option. Brooklyn also has the 22nd pick in June's draft.

styledotcom We're having some major curl envy right about now: stylem.ag/1oZC6xi pic.twitter.com/0pGh4xT5Of
We're at that time of year when the party winds blow south—to Art Basel Miami Beach. Two of the week's busiest spots are starting things off tonight: At The Webster, the Brazilian footwear company Melissa is throwing a dinner in honor of Italian designer and architect Gaetano Pesce; meanwhile, at brand-spanking-new Soho Beach House, Jay Jopling's big-time gallery, White Cube, will be tippling until 3 a.m.
This time around, erstwhile gallerist Jeffrey Deitch will be at Miami Basel as director of L.A.'s Museum of Contemporary Art. As usual, though, he's hosting a big backyard party at the Raleigh (whose famous pool is pictured, above) on Wednesday, and this year he's booked LCD Soundsystem. Other Wednesday night options include cocktails with The Last Magazine at The Webster and a party in a car park designed by Herzog & de Meuron—home of the new boutique The Alchemist, which has partnered with the art-world Web site Art Ruby for its inaugural Basel party.
But the real circus night is shaping up to be Thursday. Naturally, both Schnabel men are involved. Papa is doing a star-studded screening of his latest film, Mistral, in collaboration with Maybach and J/P HRO, Sean Penn's Haiti charity; son Vito, meanwhile, is hosting a late-night bash at Wall with pals Stavros Niarchos and Alex Dellal. In between, there are fashion-heavy dinners for W and Interview magazines (at Cecconi's and the Delano's Solarium, respectively), not to mention one at The Webster hosted by La Mer. Across the bay, Bally is celebrating its pop-up shop and collaboration with Swiss artist Philippe Decrauzat. (While we're on the subject, two other pop-ups to keep an eye on are the eyewear brand Illesteva's, at Soho Beach House, and the OHWOW shop at the Standard Spa.)

Dr. Penny Kelso is a mobile veterinarian in Lubbock. Court documents show allegations that she used duck tape on a dog and told a dog owner to give her pet Ibuprofen, a pill other vets say you should never give your pet. But this incident is what got Kelso in trouble, a C-section on a dog that turned bad.
"Hi Dr. Kelso, I'm Cecelia Jones with NewsChannel 11," I said.
"Oh no, no," she said.
Kelso is a disciplined vet in Lubbock who doesn't want to talk to NewsChannel 11.
"We'd like to talk to you about why you are a disciplined vet in Lubbock," I asked.
"I'm not disciplined and I know it looks that way," Kelso replied as she is getting into her van.
Not disciplined she says? Then I guess the Texas Board of Veterinarians Medical Examiners lied when they placed it on their website. It is a public list anyone can see of all the Texas vets disciplined by the board, Kelso is one of them. Online it says Kelso "failed to remove all pups from a patient prior to closing the uterus." It was a C-section that had bad results.
The dog's name is Pebbles. Her owner, Connie England, is the one who complained to the vet board. That complaint resulted in Dr. Kelso's discipline. "She shouldn't be doing surgery," said Connie.
Connie says it happened five years ago, "Pebbles was like a child. She was a lovable dog."
Connie says when Pebbles went into labor March 1st 2002; she had trouble delivering the puppies. They called out Dr. Kelso to their house in Abernathy. Kelso comes to you when your pet is sick. She has a mobile vet clinic.
"She was a nice lady," said Connie.
"Had you used her before?," I asked.
"No," Connie said.
A court record from the vet board states that Dr. Kelso performed a C-section and delivered five pups. One died because of a bleeding umbilical cord. But if you keep reading, it says she didn't deliver all the puppies.
"So basically, she sewed up Pebbles and left live puppies inside of her," I said.
"Yes," Connie answered.
We're not just talking about one puppy, but four of them. Three days after Dr. Kelso performed the C-section on Pebbles, Connie saw her deliver a puppy on her living room floor.
"I was furious. I was mad," Connie said.
She was mad because not only did Dr. Kelso leave other puppies inside the dog, but the incision from the C-section split open. "Her intestines were hanging out," says Connie.
Connie had to take Pebbles to an emergency clinic in Lubbock. Another vet pulled the rest of the puppies out of her. Her experience with Kelso says it cost her more money and frustration. She eventually filed a complaint with the vet board in Austin. It was heard before the board on October 2003, they said the treatment of Pebbles by Dr. Kelso "fell below the standard of care."
Five months later, the board "officially reprimanded" her, ordered her to pay a $2,000, take nine hours of continuing surgical education and she was on probation for one year.
Dr. Kelso never returned our phone calls. So the next best thing was to find her ourselves.
"What about Pebbles C-section where you left puppies inside of her?," I asked her.
"It didn't happen. No. I haven't been disciplined," she replied.
"You haven't? You haven't?" I asked her.
"I wasn't disciplined," she said as she shut the door to her van.
"You were disciplined. I have the documents. Do you not want to answer our questions? I have the paper work right her," I told her. Dr. Kelso drove away in her van.
Connie says Pebbles eventually died and so did all of the puppies, eight of them. She says she couldn't keep up with the two hour feedings after Pebbles died. These pictures are all Connie has left of Pebbles and the pups and this receipt where she paid $100 for Dr. Kelso's services.
Kelso is trying to appeal the board's decision. Her case is tied up in a Travis County court. The Vet Board told NewsChannel 11 she has completed her probation and her continuing education courses. But, she has not paid her $2,000 fine.

You can also make complaints to the board if you think your vet is giving questionable medical treatment.

Lynchburg, VA - A Lynchburg man is using his Kickstarter campaign to finish a movie he made in Lynchburg. Joel Guelzo wrote and directed the film, "Norman". It's a feature-length sci-fi film about a time traveler. He and a group of friends started filming nearly two years ago.
With 98% of filming done, Joel knew he was going to need help financially to get the film completed. He started a kickstarter page this week.That's a website that asks for donations to different start up projects. His goal was $7,000 and within 34 hours he had reached his goal.
"It blew my mind I am extremely humbled by the people that saw it and said 'oh that looks cool, I totally want to watch that.' So I'm just excited," said Guelzo.
The website will be open for 30 days for donations. Guelzo says any money made will enhance the making of the film and also help to get it in theaters. He hopes to have the film completed by the end of the year.

Saints second-year defensive end Tyrunn Walker made an early impression on Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, for both his appearance and his play.
"He's a try hard guy who's an outstanding athlete," said Ryan. "He's not the prettiest guy in the world but he's one hell of a football player."
Fortunately good looks aren't a pre-requisite for playing time and on Friday against Kansas City, Walker got a lot work. He first got in the game on the first drive with the first team in the first quarter and didn't come off until late in the fourth. And all night #75 seemed to wreak havoc on the Chiefs offensive line.
"He played pretty well the other. He is a young player that's going to get a lot of snaps. I was encouraged," said head coach Sean Payton.
And the product of Westgate High product isn't just making plays for the Saints, he's making plays for the team he grew up idolizing.
"I've been knowing the Saints since Sammy Knight was playing a long time ago. All those guys: Aaron Brooks, Jeff Blake. I remember going to Nicholls and watching training camp at Nicholls. It was kind of like a dream come true when they called so I'm taking advantage of my opportunity," said Walker, who played his college ball at Tulsa.
And if his positive play continues, his career in his home state could just be getting started.

Interested in making your sweetheart something sweet this Valentine's Day? Why not bake a cake?
With the help of "Mr. Cake," Greg Case in the accompanying online video, you can learn about the basics about the three types of cakes: egg foam, cream and yeast or leavening. Uniquely their own, each cake yields a different texture and consistency. Once you have mastered the basics, you will be able to make a cake tailored perfectly to your valentine's preference.
Egg foam cake, a light and airy treat, uses beaten egg whites as a primary leavening agent. The fluffy texture is achieved by vigorously beating air into egg whites until a firm froth is produced. To be sure your egg foam batter has achieved the proper consistency, the batter should create peaks when held upright. The most commonly known type of egg foam cake is the sweet and soft Angel Food Cake. Not to be out done, the Chiffon Cake and the Geniose Cake are also wonderfully delicate members of the egg foam family.
The cream cake is the perfect choice for those who enjoy a heartier cake. Featuring the use of fat as its primary binding agent, this cake too is prepared without the use of leavening agents. To prepare a cream cake, butter is beaten with air to produce a thick and creamy batter. Spoil your valentine with the cream cake, savory and a true guilty pleasure.
The yeast or leavening cake is tradition at its finest. balancing the light airy texture of the egg foam cakes and the decadency of the cream cake Through the use of science, leavening agents incorporate gas bubbles into a batter. When yeast reacts with moisture, heat or acidity, a chemical reaction occurs and gas bubbles are released. When batter is mixed, starches form a web that are held together with proteins. This web is formed around the gas bubbles produced by the yeast and, when baked, the gas bubbles burst and leave tiny holes in the dough. These holes make the cake soft and airy and irresistible to anyone with a sweet tooth.
With egg foam's fluffy and spongy texture, cream cake's savory splendor and yeast cake's perfect balance, choosing a favorite is never easy. Make this Valentine's Day fun and delicious with a personalized cake for your special someone.

Walpole shooting victim's family seeking answers
On March 29, 51-year-old Larry A. Bohannon was shot and killed by police after he refused commands from Alstead and Walpole officers to get out of his vehicle and comply with their orders.
He died from gunshot wounds to the head, chest and abdomen.
"He wasn't a violent person and we have unanswered questions," said Renee Bohannon, his niece by marriage.
"I really miss him I guess," she said crying. "We know Larry. He was a jokester. He loved his family and his past was not the best."
Larry Bohannon was known to many in the family as Uncle Bo, she said.
"Do we know if Uncle Bo pointed a gun at them? All we get is that he didn't comply," she said Friday.
Her 16-year-old son has been asking, "Why did they have to shoot to kill," she said.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Janice K. Rundles declined to release more details Thursday, saying results of the investigation are expected to be released early this week.
Larry Bohannon had allegedly robbed a stationery store at gunpoint in Bellows Falls, Vt., earlier on March 29. When he fled into New Hampshire, Alstead and Walpole officers pursued him until they were able to stop the vehicle on Upper Walpole Road in Walpole where the shooting happened.
Authorities said Bohannon's last known address was in Grafton, but Renee Bohannon said he lived and worked in Massachusetts during the week and lived with his girlfriend in Winchester on the weekends.
Larry Bohannon had a criminal record. In 1994 he received two concurrent 20-year sentences for a kidnapping conviction in Sullivan County and a bail jumping conviction out of Cheshire County.
He was first paroled on those sentences in 1996 then returned to jail two more times for parole violations. He had been wanted as a fugitive from justice since July 2011 when he failed to meet with his parole officer.
He had stayed away from family members up until a year-and-a-half ago when he reconnected with siblings and nieces and nephews.
Renee Bohannon said family members wish they could have been there for Larry Bohannon.
"We do know him. He was a good person. We don't know why he did that," she said.
Renee Bohannon said she can only think Larry Bohannon was under pressure to keep financial obligations.
"I think there were broken promises he couldn't fulfill. . He had something going on that he couldn't handle," she said. "That's the only thing we can come up with.
"He did try to turn his life around. His past was his past. We were his family. People change."
Along with the pain of losing a family member, the media coverage of Bohannon, his past crimes and other crimes he might have committed has been hurtful to the family, Renee Bohannon said.
Lebanon police said last week they are looking into whether Larry Bohannon committed two unsolved armed robberies that took place in March.
"A lot of people think he's some kind of monster and he's really not a monster," Renee Bohannon said. "I know that's all they have on him is his past. But they don't know him.
"All kids adored him. . My kids don't believe he would do that."
The last time he was released from prison, Bohannon had married and had two children, Renee Bohannon said, but since the marriage broke up he had been unable to see his children.
Not being able to see his children was hard on him, she said, but "he didn't want to burden anybody."
He kept his problems to himself, she said.
Family members have been comforting each other by sharing photos on Facebook of "Uncle Bo" at the Pickle Festival in Winchester last September, or on an "Apple Pie" motorcycle run to Cathedral of the Pines in Rindge last fall.
"He was doing wonderful. We just don't know what led to this," she said.

Role (Super) Model
It went down like this. Jeff, Bob and I were driving down the freeway in the station wagon. We witness a driver in the next lane tossing a soda can out of his window. Bob is confused.
"Why that guy put his drink on the ground?"
Jeff and I respond simultaneously:
"Because he's a litterbug," said Bob's father.
"Because he's a gigantic, creepy, tool who hates the environment," said Bob's mother.
Playdate at our house, anyone?

I'll gladly send my kids your way. They drive with me and witness my traffic tourettes all the time. When I heard my son refer to someone as a d-bag recently, I knew that he was actually paying attention when I talked. I kvelled.ReplyDelete
We'd love to come over for a playdate. Can you imagine the conversation between George and Bob? Worth video recording.ReplyDelete
One thing I love about Texas is our "Don't Mess With Texas" campaign. Although the name isn't all that great, you can report litterbugs and if it's thrown from a car, they'll send a letter to the registered owner.ReplyDelete
Kinda like a "I know what you did last time you were driving" stalker thing. Win!
You had me at "tool."ReplyDelete
Thanks for your super-nice comment about my humor essay, BTW. I really appreciate that!

New at Bloomingfoods East, from Australia's oldest family-owned vineyard, is the Yalumba Vineyards Y Series. As a vineyard, Yalumba is dedicated to producing quality wines and committed to the preservation of Australia's natural environment. The Y Series is a line of varietals including a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Shiraz-Viognier, and an un-wooded Chardonnay made from organically grown, sustainably farmed grapes.
In 2007 Yalumba was awarded the Green Apple International Award for Environmental Best Practice as well as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Protection Award. Yalumba also maintains a wildlife sanctuary with the goal of rehabilitating Australia's native endangered species such as the Cape Barren Goose, whose image adorns The Y Series Chardonnay.
Yalumba Proprietor, Robert Hill Smith, sees high standards in environmental practice and a high quality product as being directly related. "We are convinced that our efforts in protecting our natural resource base have reflected in the quality of the wines we share with the world. Quite simply, excellence in winemaking required excellence in environmental management – the two are inseparable. Our wines now celebrate this fact."

While out in Los Angeles earlier this week, I attended the FOX Network Midseason Press Tour to interview all the stars of the FOX shows, including host Ryan Seacrest and the judges of "American Idol."
They're gear up for the 12th season of the hit talent show, re-launching next Wednesday and Thursday, right here on FOX 32.
I asked Ryan and Randy Jackson - plus new judges Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban - about all the hoopla over the "feud" between Nicki and Mariah.
Is the feud exaggerated? Not really. Here's what Ryan, Randy and Nicki had to say.

For 74 minutes, Spain was flat. Sure, the team had scored a goal through Cesc Fabregas, who was operating as a nominal centre forward, but that seemed more like a retaliatory spasm to Antonio di Natale's opener rather than a coherent part of Vicente del Bosque's grand strategy.
Until Fabregas broke from right to left, was picked out by a sublime reverse pass from David Silva and tucked a tidy first-time finish past Gianluigi Buffon, Spain's chances were incidental, the result of unlucky bounces catching Italy out of position rather than by brilliant play.
That's not to say that there wasn't some pretty football played by Spain, but it was, depressingly, played only in a narrow band in midfield. This is what happens when you field as many playmakers as possible -- the instinct is to drop back towards the ball, because they want to be on the ball. No matter where you put a player on the pitch, no matter what instructions you give, he'll still be the same player, with the same habits and tendencies.
And Cesc Fabregas is a midfielder. So too is Andres Iniesta. David Silva's an odd case, but nobody's going to mistake him for a centre forward anytime soon. Spain had no attacking thrust whatsoever.
It rather resembled a swarm of angry bees, actually. There'd be all sorts of ferocious, misdirected buzzing (this, apparently, was entertaining) near the centre of the pitch, where Queen Xavi abided, but once you got far enough away from the hive the pressure dissipated, leaving Daniel de Rossi and Andrea Pirlo to do pretty much whatever they liked. That was fairly problematic, because it allowed Italy to boss the game without worrying much about Spain actually attacking them.
Which is why del Bosque finally bit the bullet and introduced Fernando Torres.
Torres, of course, has had a problematic last few years. He's been off form since the 2010 World Cup, where it was David Villa who carried Spain to glory, and following a big-money move to Chelsea, the former Liverpool man has become something of a punchline. His finishing has been highly suspect, his first touch frankly worrying, and at times he looked like he had stolen a world-class striker's face and body and wasn't quite sure what to do with it.
The 28 year old has regained some form over the past few months, however, and his performances with Chelsea were enough to at least bring him back into the Spain conversation thanks to the absence of Villa and with Fernando Llorente only partially fit. He's obviously not the first choice -- del Bosque's decision to play no striker rather than Torres is testament to that -- but there's enough loyalty to the man who lit up this tournament four years ago that he's being given another chance.
What did he do with it? Most will focus, one would imagine, on the blown chances. The missed one-on-one where Gianluigi Buffon managed to tackle him after a poor first touch. The indecision in possession that broke up a Spanish attack. An attempted lob that sailed well over the bar. That's fair enough, and his recent track record suggests that criticising him for poor play is completely valid. But what's missed when you just look at what Torres did when he was on the ball is how much better Spain was after he came on. The team finally had a focal point for all that pretty play. It had a route to goal.
Torres may have problems right now, but his direct, intelligent running gave his team an option it simply didn't have without him on the pitch. The relatively immobile Italy back line wasn't seriously tested until the substitution, making a jury-rigged three-man defense look like world beaters. Following Torres' introduction, Italy was finally exposed. His movement confounded, frightened and came close to beating them.
Of course, the point of creating chances is to finish them, and Torres didn't manage to do that. There are still serious questions about his confidence and ability at this point, and del Bosque cannot simply ignore them (nor has he). But what the match against Italy taught us is that Spain still needs Torres in order to break down defenses. With that in mind, it's not clear whether his up and down performance was promising -- or deeply, deeply scary.

Be safe on the water
Tuesday Aug. 30, at about 11:45 a.m., I learned that the Cooperstown Volunteer Fire Department was responding to a call that there were people in Lake Otsego, in the water, next to two kayaks, without life jackets. This call was received from what appeared to be guests at a lakeside motel.
I responded with the Otsego Sailing Club rescue boat. I knew that following the hurricane and subsequent flooding that many boats, including the Sheriff's Lake Patrol Boat, had been pulled from the water to protect them from the storm; my own two boats included. I knew there was a lack of readily available rescue boats actually in the water, so I immediately took the Club's boat out with an associate, with adequate life jackets and safety equipment and headed across the lake. I called the Otsego County 911 Center and informed them that I was responding.
Fortunately, no lake rescue was needed. This was simply two young swimmers, doing a normal summer activity; swimming across Otsego Lake, pushing two brightly colored kayaks ahead of them so as to not get hit by passing watercraft. They were fine. I called the County Control Center and they had simultaneously also learned that all was right and were in the process of returning the fire department, emergency squad and mutual aid responding Cooperstown Police personnel back home.
While this event ended happily for all, I had the opportunity for a nice boat ride, and two young people hadthe exercise of swimming across the lake, it brings up an important point; and that is, if you are swimming in the lake outside of specially marked swimming areas, take precautions to be safe, be conscious of how you are perceived and also of your visibility. It would have been much better for all if a person was actually in the kayak accompanying the swimmers. It also would be prudent to let someone know of the exercise and also carry some safety equipment along; such as a spare life jacket for the swimmer, a cellphone to summon help in the event of an emergency and some signaling devices to summon nearby boaters for immediate assistance.
Also, while a small plastic kayak is a bright warning signal to nearby boaters to keep clear, it is a poor rescue vessel.
Getting into a kayak when you are tired, cramped or injured is almost impossible. A sturdyrowboat or other adequate vessel is a much better accompaniment, along with someone to actually pull you into the boat if needed.
No one was hurt by this event, and the response of the Cooperstown Volunteer Fire Department and Emergency Squad, especially after such a demanding few days responding to all the storm damage calls, should be highly praised.
Additional special thanks should also go to the swift response by the Cooperstown Police Department personnel and the professionalism and competence demonstrated by the 911 Control Center operator Lori.
Please be safe on the water, it can be a dangerous place if you are not adequately prepared and take special precautions if you are swimming outside of clearly marked swim areas.

Mayor thanks community and volunteers
On Sunday, Aug. 28, the Cooperstown Fire Department held its annual inspection and memorial service to honor those volunteers who have served the Cooperstown Fire Department, Emergency Medical Services Squad and Ladies Auxiliary. Despite Hurricane Irene's presence, this event proceeded and was well attended by many residents and Village Board of Trustee members.
The backdrop of inclement weather served as a perfect reminder to the dedication and commitment of these valued volunteers. During the entire memorial service, members of the Fire Department and EMS squad received and responded to several calls.
Regardless of time of day or weather conditions, our emergency personnel respond to calls for help and assistance.
They have continuously put themselves at potential risk to provide safe care in our community. On behalf of all in the village of Cooperstown, I would like to thank all for coming out in support of our Fire Department, EMS, and Ladies Auxiliary. Most importantly, I thank those who have and continue to serve our community.

Let's keep the facts straight
Dave Pacherille has again distorted the facts. In my letter to the editor of Aug. 25 nowhere do I mention his website, www.coophallofshame.com, which I consider too ludicrous to comment on. I only mentioned the website Change.org in which he exhorts people to boycott Cooperstown and Otsego County. This is an attack on all of us who live here not just on the people he identifies as "community leaders." If people took him at his word and boycotted Cooperstown and Otsego County, the merchants, restaurants, museums, B&Bs, hotels, inns etc. would all suffer financially.
Where I mention the Pacherille family I am not just referring to what Dave Pacherille has written, but to what other members of the family have said or done as well. And there's been a lot of it out there!
For Dave Pacherille's information, I did not live my whole life in Cooperstown. I was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Newark, N.J., both cities of much more than 2,000 people, so I have been exposed to what he refers to as "reality."
I also find it laughable that the only thing he can find in my background to criticize me for is that I have helped raise money to dig a well in Africa to supply clean water to thousands of people who have suffered sickness and death because of a lack of it. I quote from his letter, "Perhaps you should be less concerned with digging wells in Africa and more concernedwith the ugliness in your own community?" Where is the comparison?
I do not intend to debate with Dave Pacherille or give credence to any more of his rantings. This is my last letter on the subject.

Prepare for impacts of gas extraction
The potential for natural gas production in Otsego County and upstate New York raises concerns about preparedness.
The need to prepare in advance for the possibility of industrial activity is obvious to anyone who has already experienced what it is like to live in a gas production zone.
Two immediate steps can be taken:
First, local government, academic and medical institutions should start collecting or enhancing an assemblage of indicator data. These include public infrastructure and services; social well-being and quality of life; air, water, noise and light quality; economic and other measures of community function, vitality and health. It is necessary to quantify these variables in order to establish baseline settings. Do not make the mistake other communities regret having made: they neither anticipated nor prepared for major change. They could not compare pre- and post-drilling conditions when attempting to hold polluters accountable.
Nor were they ready to assess the modifications needed to cope with multiple demands and damages.
Second, local conservation, environmental and health organizations should coordinate and systematize field-based surveillance operations using citizen science methods and principles. In lieu of adequate state enforcement, alternative means of ensuring industry accountability will be necessary.
These strategies have been pioneered and tested in other Marcellus areas where gas drilling is underway. Consider using and adapting them to your own situation.

Tax second home owners to protect benefits claimants - council (From The Northern Echo)

Tax second home owners to protect benefits claimants - council
12:14pm Thursday 13th December 2012 in News By Mark Tallentire, Reporter (Durham)
SECOND home owners would be hit in the pocket to protect benefit claimants, under plans being considered by council chiefs.
On Wednesday (December 19), Durham County Council's Labour cabinet will be asked to create a Local Council Tax Support Scheme, guaranteeing payments to council tax benefit claimants remain at current levels for the next 12 months.
Supporters say the move would protect the county's most vulnerable families.
But the money would come from axing council tax discounts on empty and second homes and introducing a council tax premium, of 150 per cent, on properties which have stood empty for more than two years.
The proposals are a response to a national shake-up. The Government is localising council tax from April and cutting the grants by which local authorities pay council tax benefit by ten per cent.
Ministers have said pensioners, who make up half of all council benefit claimants in County Durham, must be protected.
This leaves Durham County Council and the county's other precepting bodies, such as the police service and fire brigade, facing a £5.5m funding shortfall.
An alternative to the Local Council Tax Support Scheme, of cutting council tax support for working age people, is favoured by the Government and has been considered in Durham but looks likely to be rejected.
Alan Napier, the council's deputy leader, said: "I am extremely concerned about the impact the national changes could have on some of our most vulnerable residents, particularly when considered in the light of the wider welfare reforms agenda.
"It may be that in the longer term this approach is simply not sustainable and we will keep the situation under constant review but I think it's important to pilot this approach for an initial one-year period.
"We will try to offset the funding gap by implementing the planned changes in the law regarding the right of local authorities to cut, and in some cases remove, council tax reductions on certain empty homes and unfurnished properties.
"This approach will have the added bonus of helping to bring some of these homes back into use."
The cabinet will meet at County Hall, Durham, on Wednesday at 10am.

The use of the money is a poor one, as it should be used to cut the taxpayer bill overall

The Clark County Fire Department and the Southern Nevada Firefighter Burn Foundation are helping put toys in the hands of thousands of local children this holiday season through the 11th annual "Fill the Fire Truck" holiday toy drive.
Last year, the drive brought gifts to 18,500 children. The toys are distributed through the Boys and Girls Club of Las Vegas, the Salvation Army, Family to Family Resource Centers and the Las Vegas Urban Leagues.
"We are proud to participate in this toy drive every year to help make the holidays brighter for our local kids," said Clark County Fire Chief Bertral Washington. "The firefighters you see outside stores are volunteering their off-duty time to this great cause, and the number of donations has gone up since the start of the recession thanks to our generous community."
Donations are being accepted now through Dec. 16, throughout the valley at any local Clark County fire station, or at the following Walmart locations:
Donations of unwrapped toys and gift cards are all accepted. For more information, visit www.theburnfoundation.org.

Some say that San Diego has the best weather in the continental United States. But it seems that the climate there might be less than hospitable for large law firms.
Last year, Baker & McKenzie closed its office in San Diego, finding the metropolis didn't live up to its nickname of "America's finest city." And now we have news of another Biglaw firm shutting down its S.D. outpost.
It's not on the scale of the massive Weil layoffs, but the closing could cause a significant number of lawyers and staff to lose their jobs. Here are the details….

That's not straight referee
In light of the continued refusal of referees to actually officiate the laws of the game in respect of the " put in" ( throw in) at the scrummage - We the "Rugby Union family" demand that the IRB do not devalue one of the basic aspects of our game any further. There must be a contest for possession at the scrummage as there has to be in the line-out and at the tackle therefore the BALL MUST BE INTRODUCED INTO THE SCRUMMAGE DOWN THE MIDDLE. (We are not that interested in rugby league restarts - we love scrummages)

Flooding: Electrical safety guidance
Updated 1:42am Friday 10th January 2014 in News
THE Electrical Safety Council has issued a warning to people whose homes have been flooded.
The charity is urging all residents whose homes have been affected by high water levels to take care when cleaning up, especially around electricity which can cause further damage or put people at risk.
Spokeswoman Penny Walshe said: "When faced with flooding damage, it can be tempting to jump straight in as it's natural to want things back to normal as quickly as possible.
"But it's important to make sure your home is electrically safe before you do anything else."

One critical, three others hurt in Hebron crash
HEBRON, Ky. -- Four people, including one in critical condition, were transported to local hospitals Saturday evening after a multi-vehicle accident in Hebron, Ky.
Boone County Sheriff's deputies reported to the intersection of Langley Drive and Northbend Road (Kentucky Route 237) just before 6 p.m. after receiving reports that three vehicles were involved in an accident.
According to the investigation report, Joshua Burling, 18, of Alexandria, Ky., was starting a left turn from Langley Drive onto northbound Northbend Road in a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck when he was struck by a Nissan Rogue driven by Deanna Patton, 37, of Hebron, Ky. Patton was traveling southbound on Northbend Road.
Investigators said Patton, who started out behind Burling, braked hard and swerved right but still "t-boned" Burling's vehicle.
The initial collision caused the pickup truck to spin around and hit an Oldsmobile Bravada traveling northbound on Northbend Road. The impact caused the car to go off the right side of the road and down an embankment.
The driver of the Bravada, 74-year-old Ronald Ginzinger, was flown by medical helicopter to University of Cincinnati Medical Center to be treated for life-threatening injuries, according to information officer for the Boone County Sheriff's Office.
Ginzinger's wife, 71-year-old Rita Ginzinger, suffered non life-threatening injuries and was transported to St. Elizabeth's Hospital.
Burling and Patton were also taken to St. Elizabeth's for treatment. Their injuries were described as "minor" by officials from the sheriff's office.
Deputies shut down a stretch of Northbend Road at the spot of the accident to investigate and remove wreckage from the roadway.
Boone County Sheriff's Office Accident Reconstruction Unit is handling the investigation.

Between all of Mother's do's and don'ts, there were several words of wisdom I'll pass down the family tree.
1. The Smarts. You can lose all your possessions, but no one can take away your education.
2. Money Matters . Put away for a rainy day (every month)! You just never know...
3. Travel Triumph. Always pack your toothbrush and an extra set of clothes in your hand luggage.
4. Sweet Dreams. You have to get a good night's sleep to get the best of the day.
5. Natural Beauty. Have plenty of water, raw vegetables and fruit. You'll thank me later when you have naturally glowing skin.
6. Stress Management. Get rid of everything you don't need in your home, and stop overextending yourself!
7. Self-Care. Quit smoking, see a doctor, start exercising. Your body isn't a trash can!
8. Relationships. Don't be too quick to judge people before taking the time to understand them.
9. Marital Marvel. Keep the daily life nit picks in perspective with your gift of lifetime companionship.
10. Parenting. Your children will need your unconditional love. Always.
11. Flexibility. You may find something distasteful or someone not likeable, but when you use the word "hate," it leaves no room for change.
12. Responsibility. Get off the couch and go change the world!

I was no longer able to walk. I was around 15 years old. The physicians sent me away to, literally, die within my own walls. I traveled for treatment at the Mayo Clinic – Rochester, MN. I received two hip replacements, and two knee replacements. The last operation was on my ankles. I am especially grateful to Father Nick and to all the parishioners of the church in Rochester, to the sponsors of Philoxenia House such as FOCUS NA. I am once again able to walk and have been granted a second life. We lived in the Philoxenia House for a year. We had no means to live in a hotel and we simply would not have been able to proceed with my treatment without the Philoxenia House. We would have had to go home…
