On Saturday, local utility companies restored power to more than 50,000 customers, but they still have more than 40,000 to go.
In a press release Saturday night, PECO reported that 30,000 customers remained without power in Bucks County. PPL had 5,621 and Met-Ed stated it had 4,874 customers still in the dark.
Are you one of the last 40,000? How have you been coping?
In Bucks County, Bristol, Lower Makefield, Upper Makefield, Solebury townships and New Hope were the hardest hit. PECO expects most of the remaining customers to have service restored by Sunday midnight.
"I want to thank our customers for their patience and understanding as we continue to focus on safely restoring service across the region," said Craig Adams, PECO President and CEO. "We know it is hard to be without electric, especially for several days. I want to assure our customers that we will not stop until every last customer is restored."
PECO set up customer information centers in the region where customers can speak with a PECO representative regarding their outage:
Sunday, Nov. 4, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- New Hope Solebury High School, 183 West Bridge Street, New Hope, PA
- Best Buy, 1130 Easton Rd., Willow Grove, PA.
- Upper Makefield Fire House, 1221 Taylorsville Rd., Washington Crossing, PA
PECO encourages customers to contact the company at 1-800-841-4141 throughout the day for the most updated information regarding their outage.

"On the Trail of the 'Heathen School':
Local History, American History, and World History"
John Demos
Tuesday, June 10, at 7:00 P.M.
The lecture will be based on Demos's newly published book unraveling the forgotten story of a special school for "heathen youth" brought to New England in the early 19th century from all corners of the earth. Located in the little town of Cornwall, Connecticut, this uniquely fashioned institution embodied an early version of what we now call American exceptionalism. Convert them, educate them, civilize them, then send them back to found similar projects in their respective homelands, and the world will be saved in the shortest time imaginable: thus the goal of the eminent Protestant ministers in charge. After a seemingly brilliant beginning, however, the plans ran afoul of racism ̶ when some of the heathen students courted local women. The result was scandal, widespread controversy, and permanent closure of the school. In the aftermath two of the graduates, both Cherokees, returned to their Nation to lead the process of removal ̶ and paid for it with their lives. Demos will also reflect on the process of his research, including his time as a distinguished scholar at the Antiquarian Society and his visits to places central to the story. Copies of the book, entitled The Heathen School: A Story of Hope and Betrayal in the Age of the Early Republic (Knopf), signed by the author, will be available for purchase after the lecture.
John Demos is the Samuel Knight Professor of History Emeritus at Yale University. Demos's award-winning books cover topics ranging from family life in Plymouth County, Massachusetts to witch-hunting in the Western World. These works include A Little Commonwealth: Family Life in Plymouth Colony (1970), the Bancroft Prize-winning Entertaining Satan: Witchcraft and the Culture of Early New England (1982), Circles and Lines: The Shape of Life in Early America (2004), and The Enemy Within: 2,000 Years of Witch-hunting in the Western World (2008). Demos is a member of the American Antiquarian Society, and was the AAS-Mellon Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence during the 2012 calendar year.

CompuBox has a preview of Saturday night's HBO pay-per-view main event between Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao. With the two men having fought twice already there was plenty of data for CompuBox to pull from to tell the story of these two men.
Here are a few of the most interesting bits from the preview:
- In the first fight, Marquez landed 158 of 547 (29%-46 thrown per round) to 148 of 639 (23%-53 thrown per round) for Pac.
- In the rematch, Marquez landed 172 of 511 total punches (34%- 43 thrown per round) to 157 of 619 (25%-52 thrown per round) for Manny.
- In both fights combined, Marquez landed more total punches in 12 rounds, to nine for Manny, with three even.
- In between their first fight and rematch, Pacquiao was 7-1, with 5 ko's, while Marquez went 6-1, 2 ko's.
- Since the rematch, Pac is 7-0, 4 ko's - Marquez 5-1, 4 ko's
- Combined records of Pacquiao's opponents since rematch: 271-23-2 (92% win pct.); Marquez's opponents: 195-12-1 (94% win pct.)
It's hard to say what the prior fights mean for this bout, but the success Marquez has had against Pacquiao may do wonders for his confidence heading in.

The Redskins will face off against Seattle late Sunday afternoon in the first round of the playoffs, but there will be three other games going on this weekend. Let's take a look at who to root for.
Bengals @ Texans
Who to Root For: Bengals
Why: Yes, the Redskins already lost to the Bengals this year, but the Texans are a much better team. If Washington is to make a Super Bowl run, not having to face Houston when they get there would be a relief.
Line: Texans -4.5 .
Importance Level: One "Go Catch Your Dream".
Vikings @ Packers
Who to Root For: Vikings
Why: If the Packers win, the Redskins will face Atlanta. If Minnesota wins, Washington will face San Francisco. The Redskins already lost to the Falcons this year, but the 49ers are a more formidable opponent. Also of note - Washington's loss to Atlanta was by one touchdown, with Kirk Cousins subbing in at quarterback.
HOWEVER, if both the Vikings and the Redskins win out, Washington will have home-field advantage in the NFC Championship Game.
Line: Packers -7.5.
Importance: Five Barneys.
Colts @ Ravens
Who to Root For: Ravens
Why: Because there would be nothing better than a Beltway Super Bowl.
Line: Ravens -6.5.
Importance: Three Elmos.

PHOTO EXCLUSIVE: "A Little Luck!" Backstage at Paper Mill's Honeymoon in Vegas With Raymond J. Lee and Sarah Jenkins
By Matthew Blank
Paper Mill Playhouse presents the world premiere of the Broadway-bound musical Honeymoon in Vegas. Cast members Sarah Jenkins and Raymond J. Lee share exclusive backstage photos of the production, which has been embraced by audiences and critics alike.
"We had an absolute blast putting this photo piece together," says Lee. "The photos are just a glimpse into the the wacky and zany lives of the Honeymoon in Vegas gang. We have an incredible time with one another and it truly has been an amazing journey. We are so excited to bring this show to the NJ and NY audiences and the feedback has been incredible."
"Thanks to everyone for supporting the show and, for those
that haven't come yet... what are you waiting for?!"
Featuring music and lyrics by Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown and a book by Andrew Bergman — the director and screenwriter of the original film — the musical is directed by Gary Griffin with choreography by Denis Jones.
Performances continue through Oct. 27.
The cast is led by Tony Danza as Tommy Korman, a widowed and unscrupulous gambler looking for another shot at love; Tony nominee Rob McClure as Jack Singer; and Brynn O'Malley as Betsy Nolan. The three artists are joined by Tony nominee Nancy Opel as Bea Singer, Matthew Saldivar as Johnny Sandwich, David Josefsberg as Tony Rocky/Roy Bacon and Catherine Ricafort as Mahi.
The ensemble comprises Matt Allen, Stanley Bahorek, Tracee Beazer, Grady McLeod Bowman, Barry Busby, Daniel J. Edwards, Paige Faure, Leslie Donna Flesner, Gaelen Gilliland, Sarah Marie Jenkins, Max Kumangai, Raymond Lee, George Merrick, Mara Newbery and Katie Webber.
Honeymoon in Vegas, according to press notes, "is an insanely funny musical that tells the tale of Jack Singer (McClure), a guy with an extraordinary fear of marriage, who finally overcomes his phobia and goes to Las Vegas to wed his longtime girlfriend, Betsy (O'Malley). Enter Tommy Korman (Danza), a widowed and unscrupulous gambler looking for another shot at love. Tommy spots Betsy, who bears an uncanny resemblance to his late wife, and the game is afoot."
The production also features music direction by Thomas Murray, orchestrations by Don Sebesky, scenic design by Anna Louizos, costume design by Brian Hemesath, lighting design by Paul Miller, sound design by Randy Hansen and hair and wig design by Bettie O. Rogers.
It's a busy season for composer Brown, whose other new musical, The Bridges of Madison County, will arrive on Broadway in 2014. His two-person musical, The Last Five Years, recently enjoyed a revival presented by Second Stage Theatre.
Tickets range from $27-$98 and may be purchased by calling (973) 376-4343, at the Paper Mill Playhouse Box Office at 22 Brookside Drive in Millburn, or online at papermill.org.

In our search for the perfect chicken fried steak, we're on the road to Vinita on Route-66.
Clanton's is a classic road house, that's been run by the same family for four generations.
Since the 1920's, members of they've been providing a warm atmosphere and hot food along the Mother Road.
Melissa Patrick's great grandfather started during the depression.
His was nicknamed "Sweet Tater" and they're carrying on his country cooking legacy.
She says it hasn't happened by accident.
"It's lasted and its been in the family, because the family always works it.
We just decided it wasn't going down on our shift.
We don't want to be the ones who sell out or whatever.
That stubborn attitude and the staff's friendliness, give the place a real personality and a global following.
Melissa's husband, Dennis, put out a guest book to track the customers.
The list includes people from Russia, Southeast Asia and most of Europe.
The chicken fried steak has always been their signature dish and that isn't likely to
Dennis, says he often gets people, who claim to be chicken fry fanatics.
"I love those guys.
They say I'm the world expert on chicken fried steak.
I just tell em to sit down, shut up and enjoy.
It's uncomplicated goodness, that hasn't changed over the years.
Their chicken fry is easy on the batter and fried on the grill, to give it a lighter taste.
The philosophy and the cooking are very simple.
Dennis says they don't do frozen or packaged.
"Everything we do here, we do from scratch!
There's a little love thrown in, which I think adds to the flavor profile."
If you want to try their food, exit I-44 at Vinita and head west on Route-66.
Look for the red sign with big-white letters.
They spell out EAT.

Mooseheart's Mangisto Deng is defended by Hinckley-Big Rock's Jared Madden in front of a capacity crowd in Hinckley on Wednesday, Dec. 05, 2012. | Donnell Collins~For Sun-Times Media
Ron Ahrens knows the storyline.
"Hey, everybody wants to go see the 7-footer. I would too," he said, noting his Mooseheart team's 7:30 p.m. final in tonight's Westminster Christian Class 1A Regional has been moved to the Lindner Fitness Center at Judson University to accommodate what is expected to be a large crowd.
"The Westminster AD told me there would be enough seating. He figures H-BR will bring a big crowd and he asked me how many we would have. I told him I don't know, 300 maybe. But a lot of other people will be interested."
The 20-5 and second-seeded Ramblers — featuring Sudanese juniors 7-0 Akim Nyang, 6-10 Makur Puou and 6-7 Mangisto Deng — advanced Wednesday by beating host Westminster Christian 45-30. They meet 24-4 and top-seeded Hinckley-Big Rock — featuring just one starter taller than 6-1, 6-3 Michael Bayler — at 7:30 p.m. for the right to advance to next week's Mooseheart Sectional.
"Here's the thing," continued Ahrens. "They're (24-4) and they're still the best team in the area, ranked something like second or third in the state (in 1A). That hasn't changed.
"Yes, we've gotten better (as the season has gone on), but so have they. It sounds funny, but we're really underdogs. They have a better record and beat us head to head. It will be very tough for us to come out and win."
He points to one reason, in particular.
"They're one of the best high school passing teams I've ever seen. That's why they're so good. They're very good at passing the ball until they get easy shots. Then, they've got guys who can knock them down," Ahrens said.
While Puou (20 ppg) and Deng (14.3) lead the Red Ramblers, who are striving to win the school's first postseason title since claiming a district crown back in 1964, the Royals counter with plenty of balance.
Bernie Conley, a 5-7 senior guard, leads the way with a 13.7 average. Jared Madden (12.6), Bayler (11.2) and 6-1 post Zach Michels (9.2) are all capable of leading the team in scoring on a given night.
"Just from watching them play, I think Bernie is the straw that stirs the drink," Ahrens said, "but if Bernie is not hitting, Madden can. And if it's not Madden, Bayler can go out and hit for 15-20."
The Mooseheart coach knows H-BR is good at applying pressure, too, but notes "we've faced that a lot this season and are handling pressure better and running press break better than early in the year."
He thinks the decision could come down to H-BR's offense vs. his team's defense.
"You never know when you're gonna have a cold shooting night, but your defense should be a constant and help you win championships," he said.
Class 2A Westmont Regional
Third seed Aurora Christian (18-11) and first seed Immaculate Conception (22-5) are in different divisions of the Suburban Christian Conference and have not played this season, though they share several common opponents.
The Eagles finished last in the league's Blue Division while the Knights won the Gold Division. Each of them lost to St. Edward early in the year but came back to beat the Green Wave twice. ACS did so 78-66 Wednesday to advance to tonight's 7:30 p.m. title bout. IC downed Lisle 53-44 to advance.
And both are riding six-game winning streaks.
Coach Pat McNamara's club needs to find a way to stop IC's standout 6-3 guard Demetrius Carr, who had 14 points and 10 rebounds in his team's win Wednesday.
"There's a reason why they're the No. 1 seed. He's it," Lisle coach Mark LaScala said after his team's loss.
ACS can counter with good size and athleticism in athletic 6-3 junior guard Johnathan Harrell and 6-4 Cory Windle and 6-4 Ryan McQuade. Harrell leads the Eagles in rebounding (6.0) while Windle, who had 26 points in the semifinal win, and McQuade (17 off the bench) can put the ball in the basket.

Casa Vieja means old house in Spanish, and that's what this incredible lodge grew out of. But the original home is hard to recognize after all of the stunning additions owner Jim Turner has built. Casa Vieja's staff pampers you from the moment you arrive, providing an all-inclusive experience that is simply luxurious.
The lodge features a new outdoor bar and restaurant and, since our first trip a few years ago, a new wing of comfortable, air-conditioned guest rooms. After a day of fishing on one of the lodge's fleet of eight custom sport-fishing boats (the fleet of boats comes from a veri- table who's who of custom boatbuilders), you're greeted upon your return from the marina with a cool drink of the day before you make your way to the pool, where hors d'oeuvres are served daily. It adds up to great fishing and great service, a combination you'll find hard to beat.

We have ignition. We have liftoff.
SkillsUSA's Professional Development Program has entered cyberspace. Destination? Your computer.
Now you can access the first two levels of PDP the award-winning curriculum that helps students develop the essential employability skills today's job market demands through interactive online modules. Teachers can use the PDP as a self-paced study program or a class course. If you'd like more information, visit www.skillsusa.org/pdponline.shtml.
SkillsUSA has also joined with Salt Lake Community College in Utah to introduce an Internet-based career enhancement course for postsecondary students. The course covers topics such as goal-setting, communications, solutions to workplace problems and more. Visit www.skillsusa.org /cesconline.html to get details of this new venture. To infinity and beyond!
On Sept. 11, 2002, SkillsUSA representatives joined an audience of thousands on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol in Washington. The reason? "Symphony for America: A Celebration of Youth," an event designed to remember the tragedies of Sept. 11, 2001, through music and testimonials.
Zach Emerson SkillsUSA's national postsecondary secretary spoke to the audience about the many community service activities conducted nationwide by members in response to the previous year's attacks.
From supporting the Red Cross to celebrating American freedom, SkillsUSA members contributed to the national healing process.
Is a bachelor's degree the best pathway to the American dream? During a revamped Washington Leadership Training Institute (WLTI), SkillsUSA asked eight experts if old ideas still apply.
We expected a lively debate from those favoring four-year colleges and those behind career and technical education. But, when it came down to it, both groups agreed that the education system needs to change and that SkillsUSA provides a lot of what's missing.
"Very rarely do we see young people lose jobs because they don't know how to do something. They lose jobs because of attitudes," said James Wall, deputy director of the National Institute for Metalworking Skills. "In SkillsUSA, students learn the leadership skills and attitudes needed to succeed in the workplace."
Other panelists agreed that besides having positive attitudes, what students really need is an education system that will deliver a balance of employability skills, relative academics and solid basics including reading, language, social studies, math and science.
The "town meeting" was webcast by the National Dissemination Center for Career and Technical Education.
A Whole New WLTI
Career and technical ed? Four-year college? Or some of both?
Krista Kafer, senior policy analyst for domestic and economic policy, The Heritage Foundation: "We have long advocated a strong set of basic skills for every person, so that when candidates are facing changes and they determine to go back to school or change careers, they can."
James Wall, deputy director, National Institute for Metalworking Skills: "Once you get out into the work place, the technology changes on a daily basis and you need to be able to appraise that. The valuable employees are the employees who learn a way to continue education on a daily basis. It really doesn't matter what certificate or paper you have or whether it's a degree. It's what skills you bring to a job on a daily basis and your eagerness to learn and change as technology changes."
Joyce Winterton, associate director for education programs, USA Today:
Belle Wheelan, Virginia secretary of education: "I think teachers and business are finally talking to each other. There are many programs across the country where teachers in elementary and secondary schools are spending time in businesses to understand what that particular occupation is about so that they can then go back and make their curriculum more relevant."
Robert Baird, vice president of apprenticeship and training, Independent Electrical Contractors Inc.: "One's individual knowledge and ability, drive, determination and willingness to learn are the keys to a managerial position. What you learn throughout the continuum as opposed to the formal degree that makes a difference."

Mount Everest climber: I feared for my life
A British climber has told how he thought he was going to die when an argument broke out on the world's highest mountain.
Photographer Jonathan Griffith said he and two friends were attacked by up to 150 of the Nepalese guides as they made their way to a camp on Everest.
He told The Sun that he and experienced climbers Simone Moro, 45, from Italy, and Swiss national Ueli Steck, 36, were left bruised and cut after the gang kicked, punched and threw rocks at them.
The three were only saved when a group of Western climbers intervened, he added.
He said: "They didn't want to talk, they wanted to finish us off.
"They picked up big rocks off the glaciers and started throwing them at us."
Mr Griffith, who is from London but now lives in Chamonix, France, claimed the argument started when an angry Sherpa leader confronted the trio and accused them of injuring one of his men, who was securing ropes on the mountain for another expedition.

Review: 'Justice League of America' #1-3 is a Mess for the Next GenerationA comic review article by: Geoffrey Lapid
I've largely stayed away from DC's New 52 output lately, but sometimes I'm in the mood for a trashy superhero comic, and this series just popped out on the racks as the clear winner of that title. So far this book has given me exactly what I've expected, which I'll admit wasn't much at all.
Justice League of America #1 is the typical first issue of a super-team book. You know how these work by now. We've got Amanda Waller and Steve Trevor talking over action scenes featuring cool action posing from the potential team members. I guess where Justice League of America is trying to hook us is that these action figures are being assembled as a response to the cool A-list, country-less Justice League, just in case they one day go mad with power and just up and decide that America can't sell donut hamburgers or whatever. There are some interesting bits, so it's not all lost. I enjoyed the take on Hawkman as violent thug with a clever cover story, and I also liked the cheery Star-Girl who may have some sort of satanic connection, but as a first issue it's typical, it's what expected, and it's more of the same but just different enough to distinguish it from its sister title Justice League, which is what keeps these sorts of books going forever.
Justice League of America #2 is where things start movin'. We get a good chunk of the team together and get to see the sparks fly (i.e. they stand around in the same room and quip at each other instead of, I don't know, doing anything else), as well as get a glimpse of the reasons for why they're on this team in the first place. There's a bit in this issue where Catwoman takes a look through Steve Trevor's wallet and finds a picture of him and Wonder Woman from back when he and she were going out or dating or whatever it is that happens between superheroes and mere mortals (who knows, maybe they just don't need to, you know, put a label on themselves or anything like that), and we're treated to a flashback of when Wonder Woman dumped Steve Trevor set right next to another flashback of Batman dumping Catwoman.
They're kindred spirits, you see, because they've both been dumped by Justice Leaguers! There's another reason for the JLA to be at odds with the Justice League! I can only hope that future issues reveal that everyone on the JLA at some point got dumped by Justice Leaguers.
The biggest culprit of that sledgehammer storytelling style in this issue is the lengths to which Geoff Johns will go to try to make Steve Trevor an interesting character. Trevor calls out Waller for being a heartless commander, telling her that she used to care about the people that she fought alongside until she joined the rest of these know-nothing-ivory-tower bureaucrats, and now it's all about the bottom line, getting the job done, etc. But here's where this run-of-the-mill argument with Amanda Waller turns into something special: Later, Steve Trevor is telling Green Arrow that there's no room for him on the new JLA, so Green Arrow gets all indignant and calls out Steve for taking orders from the higher-ups and lining up with the government and bureaucracy, and then this happens:
Never mind that Green Arrow's problem with Steve Trevor isn't an exact parallel of Steve's problem with Amanda Waller, despite Geoff Johns trying so hard to set it up to look like that. Just take a second to admire how wonderful it is to have a comic book like this on the stands. A comic book that perhaps isn't worried that its audience won't get it, but seems to be unable to express itself in anything but unsubtle means. I mean, the only thing that would make it more ham-fisted is if Jim Lee were drawing it, and he couldn't be because he's doing Justice League and being a big wig over at DC comics, so it's fallen to David Finch because maybe at some point he got dumped by Jim Lee? (Okay, I'll admit that one was kind of a reach, but I still very much enjoy the idea of a Justice League of Spurned Ex-lovers, so why not extend that to its creative team?)
By the time we get to issue #3 the team is mostly together (minus the new Green Lantern, who's still off in space or something, Green Arrow, who was never let on the team despite being on all the covers of every issue so far, and Stargirl, whose role on the team is apparently that of official spokesperson because she is apparently too pretty and beloved by key American demographics to be sent into battle) and mostly ready for some action. That is to say, they get ambushed by robot versions of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, and they seem to do pretty well for themselves, despite a sloppy use of Vibe's powers to dismantle the robots. The rest of this issue is dedicated to the team chasing Catwoman across big city rooftops in an effort to get her noticed and eventually picked up by this Society of Villains we've been hearing about.
It's an action-packed issue, which is definitely welcome after the first two issues' moody scowling and stage-setting, but ultimately issue #3 feels a bit flat, and I think that falls mostly on the shoulders of the art. David Finch is very good at making characters look tough and imposing, but when it comes to movement and fight choreography his figures look static and posed. In the first fight scene against the robot-Justice League Finch doesn't really depict the sort of speed and impact that you would hope to see from a fight where entire trees are being uprooted and robot heads and limbs are being torn off. It all comes off as characters just sort of frozen in a fight tableau.
The second action/fight scene on the rooftops is better as this time we get a more confident sense of place, so characters aren't just sort of floating in place, and each moment feels more weighty, but on an action heavy book like this one out of two isn't acceptable. It's disappointing because while I don't expect much out of David Finch's storytelling abilities, I thought that at least he could be counted on for some heavy-looking fight scenes. The problem is that action scenes and fight scenes rely so much on movement, and Finch still draws these characters like they're posing and waiting rather than being caught in a particular moment.
While I'm not a big David Finch fan, I do like the idea of him on this book. He's got plenty of faults, sure. There are some issues with continuity and faces/haircuts looking consistent (just check out how quick Amanda Waller grows out her hair in between the first two issues), but the biggest misfire is on his storytelling and timing. There's a particular scene between Hawkman and Vibe in issue #2 that's supposed to be pretty funny, but Finch just doesn't quite get the timing right. The problem is that Finch doesn't do funny comics. You get Finch to draw a superhero comic because you want muscles and fights and explosions and action poses, not for comedic timing. Which is a shame because Geoff Johns can actually do some funny bits, but it's not an entire waste of Finch because we get enough of what he can do right in these issues (mostly superheroes looking moody).
What I like about Finch on art is that it gives this book the feel of the comics I liked when I was 13, which is to say, artists from that Image school of questionable anatomy and "dark" superheroes. Comics from a time before I knew any better. A book that certainly seemed adult, but in the way a thirteen year old raised on summer blockbuster thrills would think adults behave. To them it's adult more because it's moody and '"serious" rather than thoughtful or complex. Both of these issues read like something that, I don't know, Top Cow would've published around 1999, and Finch on art just completes the look.
It's not the greatest book, it's not doing anything new, and it doesn't even look like something new, but I do very much like the idea of this book, maybe more than the actual book itself, and I think it's because I'm just glad that there are still comics out there that are being made for easily excitable 13-year-old boys. From what I've read online, the response to this book hasn't exactly been glowing, but that's because it's not written for critics with such discerning tastes, and I'm not saying that as a "turn your brain off and just learn to enjoy things," or even a "Oh, I only read Graphic Novels" sort of thing. I'm saying it as a matter of fact -- it's a comic for kids, featuring big action and some healthy rebellion, and it may not be for us (i.e. adults), but that's fine because -- and I know this is hard to accept -- it's long been time to move over and let the next generation of kids have something to get self-righteous about in about ten or fifteen years. This comic is a mess, but that's okay. Kids do fine in messes. It's time to move on to something new, and to let the kids have their fun and make their own mistakes. Why, I remember a time when my favorite comics were Fathom and Battle Chasers. I moved on and I found better comics to enjoy, but I'm thankful for making and learning from those mistakes, and I'm glad that Justice League of America can be that kind of mistake for a whole new generation of budding comics readers. Let them have this one. They'll figure their own way out of it. It gets better.

Researchers with UMaine's Climate Change Institute will be blogging while on a trip to South Georgia Island in the South Atlantic Ocean. The expedition members are Climate Change Institute Director Paul Mayewski, UMaine graduate students Bjorn Grigholm and Mariusz Potocki, UMaine postdoctoral researcher Dan Dixon, Chilean researchers Gino Casassa and Marcelo Arevalo, EMT medic Alex Kuli, and freelance journalist Alex George Kuli. The Kuli South Georgia Expedition team is expecting to return Nov. 4, depending on weather. Before leaving on the trip, Mayewski delivered a talk on "Climate Change — Perspectives, Realities and Future Change" at Chile's Universidad de Magallanes — American Corner. The lecture featured research work in South America and Antarctica.

South Georgia Bound
Oct. 6, 2012
Members of the University of Maine's Climate Change Institute are embarking on a quest to put together a puzzle whose pieces are disappearing before our very eyes.
We are heading to South Georgia Island, a windswept former whaling station in the icy reaches of the South Atlantic, to expose the true reasons behind the recent extreme variations in the Southern Hemisphere's climate. Our goal is to uncover weather patterns from centuries ago by burrowing deep into South Georgia's glaciers. The information hidden in the ice will allow scientists to paint a more accurate picture of how climate will change in the coming decades — and warn people how they must prepare.
We will sail more than 800 nautical miles over unpredictable seas to reach the island. We will examine the ice record to gain data on ancient weather patterns — the pieces to our climate puzzle.
It is either now or never: Rising global temperatures are causing South Georgia's glaciers to melt, destroying the pieces that are necessary to complete the picture.
Our journey will involve days at sea, trekking on sheer ice, and camping out in subzero temperatures. We will encounter king penguins, elephant seals and right whales. We will retrace the steps of polar exploration giants such as Ernest Shackleton. And we will come in close contact with scientists who have devoted their lives to understanding climate in the most remote spots of the globe.
Today, October 6, we are waiting to depart from the Falkland Islands on a boat known as the Pelagic Australis. We invite you to follow our adventures on the ExpeNews site, which will be reported by text messages sent by an Iridium satellite phone. This means each entry will be short, incisive and audacious. Happy reading!

The NYIT American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) recently attended the annual International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE), which was held in San Diego, CA. Because of their impressive performance at the Student Professional Design Competition (SPDC) hosted by NYIT last spring, NYIT's ASME was invited to participate in the IMECE Student Design Competition against 23 other international colleges and universities, including Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute, WPI, the British University of Egypt, and Universidad de los Andes.
The ASME Student Design Competition is a platform for ASME Student Members to present their solutions to a range of design problems--from everyday household tasks to groundbreaking space exploration. Each team is required to design, construct, and operate a prototype meeting the requirements of annually determined problem statement. This year's challenge was to create a robot that could successfully operate in a simulated nuclear disaster. The competition consisted of a maze-like obstacle course representing a nuclear hazard area in which the robot had to complete a range of tasks in a set amount of time. The robot operators could drive only with the help of cameras, and had to be able to press buttons, pick up and drop off small objects, and read codes. Out of the 23 competing schools, NYIT placed 4th in the world for their performance on the course.

During the Fall 2013 semester, SWE members Michelle Messenger (also the club's president in Old Westbury) and Adrianna Maldonado initiated a new outreach program for 6th graders in the New York metropolitan area. Inspired by NYIT's partnership with Citizen Schools, Messenger and Maldonado volunteered weekly at the Renaissance School of the Arts in Harlem for a period of ten weeks, during which they taught a group of middleschoolers an apprenticeship course for robotics and programming. At the end of the 10 week program, the sixth-grade students were able to make their robots successfully complete a maze course using sensors.
On her decision to reach out to these students, Messenger said, "all middle school students have the potential to discover a love of learning that will inspire and prepare them to succeed in high school, college, the workforce and civic life, but without enough relevant learning activities and involved adults, too many kids are dropping out." She found her volunteer work fulfilling, and claimed, "the students' transformation and growth was incredible and amazing to watch."
Messenger and Maldonado have plans to continue their efforts into the Spring 2014 semester, when they will return to the Renaissance School of the Arts to teach Generation Technology. This new course will teach students the basics of electricity, and give them the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of electrical engineering.
As part of the Secretary's Honors Program (SHP), the Department of Homeland Security is launching its Cyber Student Volunteer Initiative for college students.

On Sept. 24, Nada Marie Anid, Ph.D., Dean of NYIT's School of Engineering and Computing Sciences, participated in a panel with deans from three other universities focused on helping employers find the best graduates for their hiring needs.
Nearly 150 people were in attendance as the panel participants discussed the connections –and disconnections – between higher education and the Long Island business community. Other panel participants included Patricia Salkin, Dean, Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center, Touro College; Dr. Yacov Shamash, Dean, College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Stony Brook University; and Dr. Patrick Socci, Dean, Frank Zarb School of Business, Hofstra University.
Each dean discussed their latest programs; Dean Anid highlighted NYIT's Cyber Security programs and concentrations; a new pilot program to help engineering undergraduates follow an entrepreneurship path to equip them for success in bringing their ideas to market; as well as the changing engineering landscape at NYIT through the transformative Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center (ETIC).
Panelists agreed that despite great progress, more has to be done to bridge the gap between technology companies and students to supplement the knowledge and coursework needed to secure jobs once they graduate, and importantly, to attract and retain students on Long Island through internships, mentoring, and other related programs.
The panel was sponsored by LISTnet (Long Island Software and Technology Network) and its Committee on Business Excellence Strategies and Trends (BEST).
Congressman Steve Israel (D-Huntington) announced that the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) will receive $60,000 from the National Science Foundation's Division for Undergraduate Education. This funding will be used to develop a multidisciplinary, multi-campus program minor in "energy, science, technology, and policy" through a unique regional partnership of public and private colleges.
Rep. Israel said, "Undergraduate education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is essential for the future competitiveness of Long Island. This funding creates a program that incorporates several local universities and aims to educate traditionally underrepresented student populations in fields with tremendous growth potential. I commend NYIT on this thoughtful and innovative educational program that will give our young people the tools they need to succeed."
Nada M. Anid, Dean of NYIT's School of Engineering and Computing Sciences, said, "We want to thank the Congressman for supporting this initiative from its inception. He understands the need for Long Island to work collaboratively across its public and private academic institutions on energy and resiliency which will serve our students well when we establish readiness programs in preparation for future storms and power outages."
The National Science Foundation's funding is used to build research foundations, develop the U.S. workforce and broaden participation in these essential fields. The agency is the major source of federal funding for STEM education.
Please join us on September 12th, from 12:45pm to 2:10pm for the second seminar session on Entrepreneurship open to all NYIT students, to be held simultaneously on both the Manhattan and Old Westbury Campus.
The School of Engineering and Computing Sciences is opening the door for all NYIT students to learn about what it takes to become an Entrepreneur. With support from the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA), the school is launching its "Entrepreneurship Path for Undergraduate Students: Turning Ideas into Companies" program, which provides students with the skills, tools and road map to successfully translate their ideas and research into commercially valuable innovations and/or companies.
The program on the 12th includes a presentation from Mr. Moses, an entrepreneur and the Co-founder and CEO of Seelio. His presentation will cover how to take an idea and turn it into a start up including information about the innovation process and strategic management.
Please note: that there was a room change: In Manhattan, the event will be held in room 701 of the Edward Guiliano Global Center. In Old Westbury the event will be hosted in room DL1 of Harry Schure Hall.

Update: Steven Speilberg's "THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN" has jumped up two days and will now be released on Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2011.
Yes, "The Adventures Of Tintin" is coming, but unless you're overseas, you're still going to have to wait. So while the marketing ramps up in Germany and now Spain, we'll just have to take what we can get.
In this case, we have a snazzy new trailer with a good amount of new footage, but alas, you'll need to be up on your Spanish. No matter as "The Adventures Of Tintin" still looks like a riproaring continental adventure worthy of the curvy haired hero and his pal Snowy. And you already know the talent behind this one. Of course, there is Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson taking on directing and producing roles respectively, with a script from the trio of Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, and a great cast that includes Jamie Bell, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Toby Jones, Andy Serkis, Mackenzie Crook and more. The mo-cap work here looks great, and you know what? We might even go so far as to say the 3D could be a solid added benefit to the already dazzling animation.
So yeah, we're looking forward to this. The film opens across the pond on October 26th and lands in the U.S. on December 23rd.
Ted | September 28, 2011 9:32 AM
I don't quite understand the release date move. So Paramount now has TWO (potential) blockbusters BOTH opening in IMAX on December 21 (the other being MIssion: Impossible - Ghost Protocol)? I get the need to maybe distance Tintin a bit more from Spielberg's other holiday film, War Horse (12/28), but Paramount doubling up with two IMAX movies on the 21st is just plain weird. Regardless, I still can't believe I'm getting a Fincher movie (Dragon Tattoo on the 21st as well) and a Cameron Crowe movie (Zoo on the 23rd) in the very same week. As long as they don't mess with that, let them do whatever they want.

Pours into a tulip glass a deep chocolate brown with ruby highlights,a creamy one finger light tan colored head atop.Aromas were a little light with some roast, molasses and fruity yeast esters.A little sharper than expected in the mouth,a lighter feel for the style.Not as roasted on the palate as the nose suggests,black licorice is big along with dark fruit and more yeasty fruitiness.Not bad but not worth the price tag in my opinion,still it's nice to see the Barrel Room Collection here in NC now.

Pours a deep brown, dark ruby color with a tan head that fades pretty quickly and doesn't really leave any noticeable lacing. Nose hits very heavy with a cornucopia of fruity and earthy esters, the heaviest and most apparent being apples and grapes. Very, very sweet and malty aroma. The taste comes up and follows right along with the nose - fruity and actually slightly tart on the tongue, full of apple skins, grapes, and raisins. Sweet toffee and slight caramel shine through near the tail end of the beer. It finishes with a slight oak/woodgrain flavor and a touch of alcohol warmth. Bitterness is low and I really didn't notice any kind of florals or hops in this one at all. Medium-thick body, slightly sticky, low carbonation.
Pretty impressive outing from Sam Adams. This beer may look intimidating, but it was actually quite sweet on the tongue and the alcohol was hidden aside from the typical warming sensation it provided.

From the brewery:
The thirteenth hour is the witching hour and refers to the mysterious combination of flavors in this brew. They've combined the roasted chocolate and coffee flavors of a stout with the spicy character of a Belgian ale aged in oak.
The combination of 7 different malts creates a black brew that's full bodied and smooth with rich notes of coffee, chocolate, and dark fruits like raisins and plums. The dark roasty, and slightly sweet flavors of a stout are blended with the unique, spicy and sour character of our Kosmic Mother Funk (KMF), an ale that's been aged in oak tuns for up to a year. The KMF gives the beer an added complexity with notes of black pepper, oak, vanilla, and a hint of acidity.
Recommended pouring is gently into a traditional glass. Take care not to unsettle the fine layer of yeast that rests at the bottom from the bottle-conditioning.
My take:
It's alright but I prefer their every day Imperial Stout to this one. It has better body and is less fruity.

From the bottle into my tulip glass. The beer was black with a little red around the edges. It had a small tan head.
Very aromatic. Chocolate/coffee/roasted malt. Vanilla. Dark fruit. A little peppery feel in my nose.
Not quite as tasty as I thought it would be. Dark chocolate and espresso at first, oak/vanilla. A hint of raisin.
Medium-bodied, maybe a little on the thin side. Still pretty enjoyable.

Grabbed a bottle a few months back at Wegman's. Reasonably priced at $10.99 or so.
Pours like a coca cola, dark brown with some fizzy head with no spotty lacing.
Aroma is decent. Dark figs, brown sugar, sweet malt, and sadly, grapes.
Taste is where this one goes down hill for me personally. It's not a bad beer at all, but chocolate....? Nope. Coffee? Negatory. Oak? Not finding it.
Description is very misleading.
Fairly high carbonation, but not distracting....just a bit higher than I would have appreciated.
Finishes fairly clean.
Not a bad beer, but falls short based on my expectations after reading the label.

Appearance: 1 inch head, reddish-brown in color, clear, high carbonation
Smell: chocolate, raisin, fig, dark bread, and dark fruit
Taste: black cherry, dark fruits, alcohol, dark bread, and slight coffee at the end
Mouthfeel: medium-high carbonation, medium-heavy body, sweet with alcohol burn
Overall: Why did it take me so long to try this? One of Sam Adams better beers in this series despite not really having a lot of oaking. This tastes like a complex quad. A sipper I will get again.

Poured from bottle into a Sam Adams glass.
Appearance: Very dark, almost no light could be seen through the glass. Brown foamy head with spotty lacing on the glass.
Smell: Smell of roasted/taosted malts, carmels, coffee, chocolate, and maybe some fruit as well, alcohol is present.
Mouthfeel/Taste: Thick, medium to full bodied. Taste has malts up front that give way to carmel, coffe, chocolate, and fruity flavors, leaves a bittersweet taste behind.
Overall: Not a huge fan of stouts personally, but I will give credit were due, it is a very well crafted beer, I did enjoy the whole bottle, but probably won't buy again, just cause as I said before, these darker heavier stouts and ales are not my style.

Thirteenth Hour opens with a dark, spicy, fruity, complex aroma, featuring Belgian-like bananas and cloves, chocolate, vanilla, fig, Candi sugar, berries, and raisin wine. The combination makes this one of the more unique aromas in the beer world, and in fact makes this smell almost, but not entirely, quite unlike beer. Instead, it comes across more like a fine aged bottle of sherry or cognac, sat next to a steaming cup of spiced berry tea and a wedge of chocolate. The effect is intriguing, if not intoxicating, but is definitely finely nuanced and evidence of a well-crafted brew.
On the tongue, the beer opens with a Flemish-like bout of sourness, quickly joined by a blast of citrus-bright lemon-lime hops. Some vanillas and touches of oak lie beneath, as well as a continuation of the banana and clove flavors from the nose. Small chocolate and fig juice notes drift lazily about, and the whole flavor profile is overhung by a vodka-like alcohol whang. Late in the mouthful the hops add extra levels of lemon and citrus, and the aftertaste is dominated both by these and by a fresh wheat stalk grain flavor, and lasts for a long time. Mouthfeel is a strangely watery medium-light to medium, and carbonation is medium to medium-high.
Overall, the beer is oddly non-stout-like for a stout, having few strong coffee, ash, tobacco, or chocolate/black malt notes. Instead, it comes across as a slightly spiced and lightly soured Belgian, into which just a touch of coffee and chocolate malt had been added. Perhaps if this had been labelled as such, it would have been less strange on the tongue--but the stout label threw me off greatly, as did the watery mouthfeel.

Black in glass with only a touch of brown at the edges in bright light, but a thin layer is a deep reddish brown. The head is well proportioned, creamy dark tan in color, and has excellent retention with decent lacing.
Aroma: complex, fruity and spicy with some sweet malt evident too. Lots of raisins.
The rich and complex flavor reflects some toasted malts with coffee and a variety of spices. Hints of dark fruits and chocolate.
Full body with ample soft carbonation. Near perfect!
O: This cross-over ale serves as an excellent American version of a Belgian dark strong ale. Good even by that high standard although much of the spiciness comes from spices rather than the yeast.
Bought at the brewery just a few days ago and shared with me: thanks LJ.

Why blame the Teachers?
Original post made by School District Supporter on Feb 2, 2009
on Feb 2, 2009 at 12:51 pm
agreed. before you blame teachers. blame the parents. what are they doing to help encourage good grades, to study, and to work hard. parents are in charge of their kids, and ultimately their grades and performance. these teachers only get 55 min a day with your kids. what do you spend?
on Feb 2, 2009 at 1:00 pm
I agree.
on Feb 2, 2009 at 1:12 pm
I don't agree. Let them take a cut, let the school board members take cuts, city workers, local politicans... I don't care who takes a cut as long as I don't get hit with an ADDITIONAL TAX. Sometimes I think people forget or ignore just how many unnesessary taxes we pay to live here. Sometime...somewhere ...someone has to say enough is enough! Not everyone in Pleasanton is RICH!
This city has lived the high life for a long time and now that times are rough, instead of tightening the belt and having to separate "wants" from "needs"...I'm being asked to pay MORE money. Whos looking out for the residents?

So our friends at our sister site MRCTV sat down with NRA president David Keene, who explained there was a fundamental, life-saving difference between these two operations. [video follows page break]

I don't know who decided to edit in the actual clips of the media's bloviating the DNC/Obama talking points with the actual facts....but it perfectly explains why Holder and all of the democrats are lying through their teeth regarding F&F.
Fantastic job! We've had a Forum on F&F called "GunWalker" here on the Forums for well over a year, and this one 3 minute video distills all of that information into one concise little package of beautiful facts.
Kudos to whomever pushed to get this done.

On July 15, Maguire 2.0 will be looking to demonstrate to the world that he is a legitimate contender in the UFC's lightweight division.

Recount possible in Box Butte County Board race
The Box Butte County Canvassing Board met Thursday morning and after adding the provisional and absentee ballots to the Tuesday mix, county commissioner candidate Doug Hashman still leads Marvin Toedtli (toht-lee), but by only 20 votes.
County Clerk Judy Messersmith says the slim margin of less than one percent will require an automatic recount unless Toedtli signs a recount waiver.
Toedtli, a former Box Butte County Commissioner, is expected to inform Messersmith on Friday as to whether or not he will offer the waiver. If the recount goes forward, Messersmith says it will probably take place Nov. 13 or Nov. 14.
The updated numbers reveal Hashman has 2,330 votes to Toedtli's 2,310.
In the race for the third seat on the Alliance School Board, Deb Grothen-Wegehoft now holds a 76 vote lead in the Box Butte County vote.
Messersmith says she is still waiting on certified numbers from Sheridan County and Morrill County voters that have property in the school district before she can officially declare Grothen-Wegehoft the winner.

Menlo Park: Bus breaks off crossing arm, crosses tracks shortly before train arrives

Beware: I have heard of people getting tickets for crossing the tracks during the short period after the lights start flashing but before the arms start to come down. Unfortunately, railroad crossings have no equivalent to a yellow light.
on Jul 31, 2013 at 10:41 am
About a year ago, I also saw a SamTrans bus quickly cross the tracks after the bells started ringing. Very reckless. Hope someone got the number of today's bus and reported it to SamTrans. Otherwise, I'm sure they could check the schedule to determine who was driving.
on Jul 31, 2013 at 11:12 am
Some SamTrans driver is probably trying to explain the scratched paint on his/her bus to the boss right about now. This incredibly reckless act not only endangered the bus passengers, it could have derailed the train.

Yes... this is all very "unfortunate" (to say the least).
I haven't tried but maybe there is a workaround (again to say the least - it is more like a hack ).
During my tests (I think) the IAP engine returned the list of "restorable" products based on previous purchases even on the production server. If so, one could rely on that information to detect that the user has already purchased your content - note that if you call the restoredproduct it will fail so you need to decide/act based on the list of restorable products. I can't remember how much I tested it but it was something I considered that this could be a workaround.
Every day I have less hope that Nokia will actually fix the issue with the production server. It seems that they believe that the behavior with the test server that is actually wrong - I REALLY CAN'T UNDERSTAND!
Until then, unfortunately, IAP will be a single act for me and if and when I have to update my application I will most likely just give it away for free so I can save myself from reading angry e-mails from frustrated consumers
