The Las Vegas City Schools board released the names of people interested in filling the seat left vacant by former board member Ernesto Salazar who resigned abruptly in July. They are: James Alarid, Robert Duran, III, Joe D. Lucero, Leroy Lujan, Michael J. Martinez, Leonard Padilla and Abran H. Romero.

Come Jan. 1, San Miguel County residents will pay a little more in gross receipts taxes after the San Miguel County Commission voted unanimously this past Tuesday to increase the tax rate.
The one-twelfth-of-one-percent increase approved will likely generate between $290,000 and $340,000 in new revenue for the county each year and will cost people purchasing goods and services in the county about 8 cents more on a $100 purchase. New Mexico doesn't charge gross receipts taxes on groceries or medication.

The steady rains this summer have been a welcome change from the drought conditions we've all become accustomed to.
But the rains have resulted in a drastic increase in noxious and nuisance weeds throughout Las Vegas, prompting city officials to issue a request that property owners clean up their properties.

Contributions to King OKd
SANTA FE — New Mexico Secretary of State Dianna Duran now says Democratic gubernatorial nominee Gary King can keep nearly $11,000 in campaign contributions that Duran previously said exceeded campaign finance limits.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that Duran's reversal Thursday apparently makes moot a legal action filed by King that the state Supreme Court planned to hear Aug. 28.

ALBUQUERQUE — The embattled superintendent of New Mexico's largest school district said Friday he has resigned.
The move came after members of the Albuquerque Public Schools Board said they met earlier this week to discuss an investigation of a personnel issue involving Superintendent Winston Brooks. They declined to elaborate on the issue.
In a joint statement Friday, Brooks and the board said both sides agreed the resignation was the best option for both parties.

What is an Impact Investment?
To obtain an Impact SBIC license, an applicant fund must commit to invest at least 50% of the total dollar amount of their investments into "impact investments." In addition to the standard requirement than any SBIC investment be made into a small business, SBA defines an impact investment using a place-based and a sector-based criterion.
Place-Based Impact Investments:
A place-based impact investment is made into a small business located in, or with at least 35% of its full-time employees at the time of the initial investment residing in a Low or Moderate Income ("LMI") area, a Rural area or an Economically-Distressed area. The definitions used to identify these areas are explained below.
Low or Moderate Income ("LMI") area:
An LMI area means any area located within a:
- HUBZone (as defined in 13 CFR 126.103)
- Urban Empowerment Zone or Urban Enterprise Community (U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Development)
- Rural Empowerment Zone or Rural Enterprise Community (U.S. Dept. of Agriculture)
- Area of Low Income or Moderate Income (Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council), or
- County with Persistent Poverty (Economic Research Service of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture)
Rural Areas:
The SBA Impact Investment Initiative uses a definition of "rural area" developed for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Business & Industry Loan Program. According to USDA regulations (7 CFR 1980.405), a "rural area" is any area other than:
- A city or town that has a population of greater than 50,000 inhabitants; and
- The urbanized area contiguous and adjacent to such a city or town, as defined by the U.S. Bureau of the Census using the latest decennial census of the United States.
The Rural Business-Cooperative Service maintains a mapping tool used to identify eligible "rural" areas.
Economically-Distressed Areas:
Section 301 of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 3161 defines an economically-distressed area as having:
- a per capita income of 80% or less of the national average, or
- an unemployment rate that is, for the most recent 24 month period for which data are available, at least 1% greater than the national average unemployment rate.
The Federal Highway Administration maintains a mapping tool that identifies economically distressed areas.
Sector-Based Impact Investments
A sector-based impact investment is made into a small businesses active in industry sectors the Administration has identified as "national priorities." Currently, SBA has approved the education and clean energy sectors as qualifying for the Impact Initiative, with other sectors to be added over time.
Clean Energy Sector:
Clean energy impact investments include, but may not be limited to, those investments that are "energy-saving qualified investments" as defined by SBA regulations (13 CFR 107.50). These are financings that meet the qualifications listed below (terms with regulatory definitions are capitalized):
- are in the form of a Loan, Debt Security, or Equity Security; and
- are made to a Small Business that is primarily engaged in Energy Saving Activities. While SBA will make a determination at the time of the financing as to whether the Small Business is engaged in Energy Saving Activities, it will be presumed qualified if:
- The Small Business derived at least 50% of its revenues during its most recently completed fiscal year from Energy Saving Activities; or
- The Small Business will utilize 100% of the Financing proceeds received from the SBIC to engage in Energy Saving Activities.
Energy Savings Activities are defined, in detail, in the Definitions section of SBIC Program Regulations ((13 CFR 107.50).
Education Sector:
No formal definition has been established to determine whether an investment qualifies as an education impact investment. SBA will work with the relevant federal government agencies, including its partners at the Department of Education, to determine both at the time of licensing and the time of financing whether an investment qualifies as an education impact investment.

Reviews for Sausage and Pumpkin Pasta
Sort By :
No one in my family really liked this recipe. We might just not be "pumpkin in your main dish" people.
Yummy! I used mild Italian pork sausage instead, as I could not find the turkey sausage and I used regular sodium chicken broth and added 1/2 tsp. sugar to offset the saltiness and make it balanced. Delicious! Great way to use up that leftover pumpkin from the can after I make my Thanksgiving pumpkin pies!! Thanks for sharing!
Great flavor
Enjoyable and quick to put together. I used all broth and though it was good I believe the wine would add flavor. I upped the pasta by at least half a cup and used one tablespoon fresh sage finely chopped. The entire dish was gone and my 21 year old son came back for thirds!!!
This had a really nice flavor and came together very quickly and easily for a healthy weeknight dinner. Definitely a keeper! Great recipe!

Contrary to reports elsewhere, Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports is reporting that Urban Meyer has not agreed to coach Ohio State. The report cites an anonymous source who is "intimately involved" in the situation, who indicated that no deal is in place and seemed to suggest that any deal is much farther off than simply agreeing on a salary.
"People can throw out guesses," the person said. "Some may or may not know what they're talking about. It's [report] not true. That's not the case. That is all there is to say."
Meyer himself has twice denied reports that he has been offered the Ohio State coaching job, but that does leave the door open for all kinds of other discussions that may or may not have happened. Somewhat fueling the speculation is his absence from the ESPN broadcast crew of this weekend's Ohio State-Michigan game. ESPN said that he would be better used as an analyst in Bristol, Conn.

Mississippi teachers are among the lowest paid teachers in the country.
The last time Mississippi teachers received a pay raise was in 2007, six years ago, with a starting salary around $36,000 a year. The only state with lower pay than Mississippi is South Dakota.
"That's ridiculous! That's very ridiculous! Along with the police officers and firemen and teachers, they should have a higher salary than most people because they are where the rubber meets the road, and they make the difference."
But a bill in the Magnolia State Legislature would give teachers at least a $5,000 per year pay raise. There are questions if the bill will even make it through Senate chambers in Jackson, and whether the money is there, but you have to do the math.
Some say if you don't pay, you can't compete when it comes to education.
"I think they should pay them more money and give them good benefits."
If you do the math, there are 33,000 teachers in the Magnolia State. At $5,000 each, that comes out to about $165 million.
"I don't know where the money is going to come from."
"We pay more for a lot of other things that's not educating our children. It's worth the investment."
There are some who say not so fast. Maybe not all teachers should get a raise.
"I would say yes, but there needs to be somebody checking on the teachers to see if they are doing the job they are supposed to be doing. I have no problem with teachers making more money, but in some schools they are not doing the job they are supposed to be doing."
Legislative supporters say the pay increase is more than justified. The bill it is attached to calls for teacher retention and attracting new teachers to the state.
"That's a wonderful and excellent idea, and yes we need to pay our teachers more to educate our children."
Just a thought for Mississippi senators: if the teacher pay raise doesn't pass, most teachers vote in blocks, they vote in big groups for for those who support them.

first off...major props to both mares and moreno for stepping to the plate and getting things going at the weight class. this is a great fight...and i'm not sure who's going to win but i'm leaning towards moreno. mares didn't have to take this fight...he could have taken the donaire route and fought some unknown who isn't really a threat. instead....he's taking on one of the best in the division. this bout is a serious statement by both guys. i'm hoping donaire steps up after the nishioka fight. i'd like to see him fight rigondeaux. i seriously doubt it happens. until then...i'll enjoy this one.

I actually haven't seen much of Moreno, or maybe I have by accident (by way of FNF and ShoBox).
I've been hearing a lot of buzz about him, but haven't seen much of him. Before I open a tab and do some research, did he fight on the Rios/Abril undercard, or was that him fighting on the undercard of Mares's last bout.
Im starting to get Moreno and Gesta confused (IMG:style_emoticons/default/no2.gif)

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSThree Killed, Including Local Firefighter, In Clarksburg Cell Tower Collapse
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Feb. 1, 2014 4:28 PM EST
Updated: Feb. 2, 2014 11:00 AM EST
CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia State Police have released the names of two workers and a firefighter who were killed when two cellphone towers collapsed.
Lt. Michael Baylous on Sunday identified the workers as 32-year-old Kyle Kirkpatrick of Hulbert, Okla., and 27-year-old Terry Lee Richard Jr. of Bokoshe, Okla. He identified the firefighter as 28-old Michael Dale Garrett of Clarksburg, a member of the Nutter Fork Volunteer Fire Department.
Baylous says Kirkpatrick and Richard were working on a 300-foot cellphone tower Saturday when it collapsed in Clarksburg. Garrett was killed when a smaller cellphone tower weakened by the collapse also fell. Two other workers suffered non-life threatening injuries.
State police Cpl. Mark Waggamon said Saturday that the workers were doing maintenance to strengthen the larger tower's support when the accident occurred.

CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (Kera Mashek) -- At least three people are dead and two more seriously injured, following a cell phone tower collapse in Clarksburg on Saturday.
Some of the people were reported to have been on the tower and could have fallen anywhere from 80 to 100 feet.
A firefighter working to rescue the injured was also injured when a piece of the tower fell on him.
The tower has since been stabilized.
No word was available on what might've caused it to collapse or how surviving victims are doing.

Ending homelessness requires housing combined with the types of services supported by HHS programs. The delivery of treatment and services to persons experiencing homelessness are included in the activities of the Department, both in five programs specifically targeted to homeless individuals and in fourteen non-targeted or mainstream, service delivery programs.
- Targeted homeless assistance programsare specifically designed for individuals or families who are experiencing homelessness.
- Non-targeted or Mainstream programs are designed to serve those who meet a set of eligibility criteria, which is often established by individual states, but are generally for use in serving low-income populations. Very often, persons experiencing homelessness may be eligible for services funded through these programs.
Targeted Homeless Assistance Programs
- Health Care for the Homeless (Health Resources and Services Administration)
This multi-disciplinary comprehensive program provides primary health care, substance abuse treatment, emergency care with referrals to hospitals for in-patient care services, and outreach services to help difficult-to-reach homeless persons establish eligibility for entitlement programs and housing.
Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration)
PATH is a formula grant program that provides financial assistance to states to support services for homeless individuals who have serious mental illness or serious mental illness and substance abuse. Eligible programs and activities include outreach services; screening and diagnostic treatment services; habilitation and rehabilitation services; community mental health services; alcohol or drug treatment services; staff training; case management services; supportive and supervisory services in residential settings; referrals for primary health services, job training, educational services, and relevant housing services; and a prescribed set of housing services.
Services in Supportive Housing (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration)
The SSH program helps prevent and reduce chronic homelessness by funding services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness living with a severe mental and/or substance use disorder. Grants are awarded competitively for up to five years to community-based public or nonprofit entities. Services supported under the SSH funding include, but are not limited to, outreach and engagement, intensive case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and assistance in obtaining benefits.
Grants for the Benefit of Homeless Individuals (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration)
GBHI is a competitively awarded grant program that enables communities to expand and strengthen their treatment services for people experiencing homelessness. Grants are awarded for up to five years to community-based public or nonprofit entities and funded programs and services include substance abuse treatment, mental health services, wrap-around services, immediate entry into treatment, outreach services, screening and diagnostic services, staff training, case management, primary health services, job training, educational services, and relevant housing services.
Programs for Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY)
- Basic Center Program (Administration for Children and Families)
This program establishes or strengthens locally-controlled, community, and faith-based programs that address the immediate needs of runaway and homeless youth and their families. Centers provide youth with temporary shelter, food, clothing, and referrals for health care. The grants may also be used to provide counseling, outreach activities, and aftercare services for youth once they leave the shelter. Locate a Family and Youth Service Bureau Program.
- Transitional Living Program for Older Homeless Youth (Administration for Children and Families)
The program provides stable, safe living accommodations, basic life-skills, career counseling, educational training, and physical and mental health support services to youths, ages 16 through 21, who are homeless, for a continuous period, generally not exceeding 18 months. Minors may remain in the program for an additional 180 days or until their 18th birthday, whichever comes first. Locate a Family and Youth Service Bureau Program.
- Street Outreach Program (Administration for Children and Families)
The Street Outreach Program provides educational and preventive services to runaway, homeless and street youth who have been subject to, or are at risk of, sexual exploitation or abuse. The program establishes and builds relationships between street youth and program outreach staff to help youths find safe and appropriate alternative living arrangement. Support services include: treatment, counseling, information and referral services, individual assessment, crisis intervention, and follow up support. Locate a Family and Youth Service Bureau Program.
Non-targeted or Mainstream Programs
- Access to Recovery (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration)
Access to Recovery supports a grantee-run voucher program to expand clinical substance abuse treatment and recovery support services to reach those in need. These competitive grants are awarded to grantees who approach and target efforts to areas of greatest need, areas with a high degree of readiness, and to specific populations, including adolescents.
- Child Support Enforcement Program (Administration for Children and Families)
The Child Support Enforcement Program is a federal/state/tribal/local partnership to help families by promoting family self-sufficiency and child well-being. All States and territories run a child support enforcement program. Families seeking government child support services must apply directly through their state/local agency or one of the tribes running the program. Services are available to a parent with custody of a child whose other parent is living outside the home, and services are available automatically for families receiving assistance under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.
- Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration)
The Community Mental health Services Block Grant is a formula grant awarded to states and territories to improve access to community-based health care delivery systems for adults with serious mental illnesses and children with serious emotional disturbances. The formula for determining the federal allocations of funds to the states is determined by Congress. Block grant funds are used by each state as they determine their needs.
- Community Services Block Grant (Administration for Children and Families)
The Community Services Block Grant funds a network of community action agencies that provides services and activities to reduce poverty, including services to address employment, education, better use of available income, housing assistance, nutrition, energy, emergency services, health, and substance abuse needs. Funds are allocated by formula to 50 states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the Northern Marianas, and state and federally-recognized Indian tribes.
- Community Health Center Program (Health Resources and Services Administration)
The centers provide health-care services and help ensure access to primary care to undeserved populations. Services are provided without regard for a person's ability to pay. Fees are discounted or adjusted based upon the patient's income and family size from current Federal Poverty Guidelines.
- Family Violence Prevention and Services Grant Program (Administration for Children and Families)
The Family Violence Prevention and Services Grants Program assists state agencies, territories and Indian Tribes in the provision of shelter to victims of family violence and their dependents, and for related services, such as emergency transportation and child care. Grantees use additional resources to expand current service programs and to establish additional services in rural and underserved areas, on Native American reservations, and in Alaskan Native Villages. The program also supports technical assistance and training for local domestic violence programs and disseminates research and information through five resource centers.
- Head Start (Administration for Children and Families)
Head Start and Early Head Start are comprehensive child development programs for low-income and homeless children under five, pregnant women and their families. Eligible children and families receive nutrition, developmental, medical and dental screenings, immunizations, mental health and social service referrals, and transportation.
- Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services)
The Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant has three components: formula block grants to 59 states and Territories, grants for Special Projects of Regional and National Significance, and Community Integrated Service Systems grants. It operates through a partnership with State Maternal and Child Health and Children with Special Health Care Needs programs. The Program supports direct care; core public health functions such as resource development, capacity and systems building; population-based functions such as public information and education, knowledge development, outreach and program linkage; technical assistance to communities; and provider training.
Most of these services are preventive services that are available to everyone such as immunizations, child injury prevention programs, lead poisoning prevention activities, and newborn screening programs. Activities also include: evaluation, monitoring, planning, policy development, quality assurance, training and research.
- Medicaid (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services)
Medicaid is a jointly funded, federal-state health insurance program for certain low-income and needy people. In FY 2006, Medicaid provided coverage to more than 47.9 million individuals including 22.9 million children, the aged, blind and/or disabled, and people who are eligible to receive federally assisted income maintenance payment.
- Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006 (Health Resources and Services Administration)
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act (also known as the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program), operated by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), authorizes funding for the bulk of the agency's work on HIV/AIDS. Programs are funded through states, disproportionately impacted metropolitan areas, community health centers, dental schools, and health care programs that target women, infants, youth, and families. An increasing number of the people accessing HIV/AIDS services and housing have histories of homelessness, mental illness, and chemical dependency. The HRSA bureau responsible for administration of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB), has approached the issue of housing and healthcare access through housing policy development, direct service programs, service demonstrations, as well as in technical assistance and training activities to grantees. According to our FY 2005 CARE Act Data Report (CADR), of the 2,631 providers responding to the question whether they delivered services to special target populations, 1,180 providers indicated that they provided services to persons experiencing homelessness.
- Social Services Block Grant (Administration for Children and Families)
The Social Services Block Grant program assists states in delivering social services directed toward the needs of children and adults. Funds are allocated to the states on the basis of population. Funds support outcomes across the human service spectrum and are associated with strategic goals and objectives such as employment, child care, child welfare, adoptions, and youth services. States have flexibility to use their funds for a range of services, depending on state and local priorities. The SSBG is based on two fundamental principles: (1) state and local governments and communities are best able to determine the needs of individuals to help them achieve self-sufficiency; and (2) social and economic needs are interrelated and must be met simultaneously.
- Children's Health Insurance Program (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services)
The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is jointly financed by the Federal and State governments and is administered by the States. Within broad Federal guidelines, each State determines the design of its program, eligibility groups, benefit packages, payment levels for coverage, and administrative and operating procedures. CHIP provides a capped amount of funds to States on a matching basis. Children began receiving insurance through CHIP in 1997 and the program helped states expand health care coverage to over 5 million of the nation's uninsured children. The program was reauthorized on February 4, 2009, when the President signed into law the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA or Public Law 111-3).
- Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (CSAT Program)
The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), promotes the quality and availability of community-based substance abuse treatment services for individuals and families who need them. CSAT works with States and community-based groups to improve and expand existing substance abuse treatment services under the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant Program. CSAT also supports SAMHSAs free treatment referral service to link people with the community-based substance abuse services they need.
- Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Administration for Children and Families)
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is a flexible block grant to states, Territories and federally recognized Indian Tribes for use in any manner that is reasonably calculated to accomplish a purpose of the TANF program. Section 401 of the Act sets forth the following four TANF purposes: (1) provide assistance to needy families so that children may be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives; (2) end the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage; (3) prevent and reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies and establish annual numerical goals for preventing and reducing the incidence of these pregnancies; and (4) encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families.

One more thing, about what you were doing at some point over the weekend.
There were many activities in and around Chicago on a busy summer weekend, which means at one time or another most of us were engaged in a pastime we all hate: looking for parking.
And now, no less than a Duke University Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics has come up with a computational approach to help us.
Professor Dan Ariely, who also writes for the Wall Street Journal, was asked how to decide whether to pay for parking in a lot, or drive around looking for a cheaper or free spot.
Get a pen and paper out because you'll want to remember this.
The professor's formula: figure out how much money an hour of fun out of the house is worth and compare that with the time it takes to find a parking spot. So, if the hour is worth $25 dollars, and searching for parking takes a half hour, then any amount less than $12.50 that the lot charges would be worth it. Get it?
So if you really want to feel good about paying a lot for parking, don't short-change yourself on how much money an hour out of the house is worth to you.
Based on the professor's rationale, if you're really desperate to get out, you might be able to justify hiring a driver!

Too small to be seen, alien insects invaded Earth long ago... and now they're ready to fight for world domination!
Field your army of genetically engineered bugs and confront your enemy. Will you fight for the ferocious aliens or brave terrans? Each race features amazing powers, but you will also need skill to achieve victory.
Created by Nexus Games, known for War of the Ring, Moto GP, Wings of War, and the awesome board game Age of Conan, Micro Mutants is a game of strategy and dexterity that's fun for players of all ages and experience levels. 2-4 players roll dice, flip Micro Mutants like tiddlywinks, and wield powerful special abilities!
Micro Mutants is surprisingly simple to pick up and learn. Each turn a player rolls two dice to determine which of his or her mighty insect soldiers to send forth. Then play proceeds like tiddly winks, with players launching bug tokens through the air. Any opposing insects unfortunate enough to be under an opponent's tokens when they land are eliminated!
This takes a fair amount of practice, but watching your Kommissar take out a Centurion is well worth the patience. Also available as targets for your chitinous horde are your opponent's bases. These hexagonal bases represent the factories and munitions your opponent has available. If you ever run out of bases, you are out of the game.
Each of the four factions of Micro Mutants has different special abilities and units, ensuring a unique play experience for each. The Chitinians feature a heavy emphasis on firing projectiles at their opponents, and can shoot both acid and webs to either melt or trap enemy bugs. The alien Flyborgs are the masters of manipulation; they have a heavy focus on moving their own bugs, as well as the opponents bugs. The Sovietopters have a good blend of options with their tanks able to fire flame projectiles, and the Kommisars are able to bring back their own bugs every time they kill an enemy bug! The U.S. Arthropods have a little bit of everything. They feature some bugs that can fire projectiles, some that can move other bugs, some that can snipe at other bugs without being targetable themselves, and even some that can attack twice!
Each army has three base modules, and your objective is to capture two of your opponents' bases by landing your token on them. In the advanced game, bases can be upgraded by spending harvested resources, which allows you to play powerful evolution cards. These cards can give your bugs or your bases powerful special abilities... but you must choose which evolution to use each time you upgrade your base. Choose well, and you'll be victorious!
So grab your flipper and send forth your insect minions. There is a microscopic war to be won!

PLATTSBURGH — While some local companies are hiring, the job market can still be tough in some fields.
More than 400 people attended the recent Job Fair at the West Side Ballroom. North Country Chamber of Commerce Administrative Assistant Becky Manor said that is about the same as the last two springtime Job Fairs.
Mold-Rite Plastics Human Resources Manager Donna Matkoski's company is currently hiring.
"We have 20 to 25 openings at this time, a lot of mechanics," she said.
Though the Job Fair had been open for only about 90 minutes, Mold-Rite had received more than 30 applications already.
Matkoski said the company conducts interviews weekly, so it is good to have a good supply of applications. The Plattsburgh firm employs about 430.
Mold-Rite has been in Plattsburgh since 1976, she said, and has never had any layoffs. The company was sold in 2010, and has hired more than 100 employees since then.
They acquired two other companies last year, one in Ohio and one in New Jersey.
"So, we're growing," she said.
Gene Rapp of Jay said he is working part-time after more than 20 years in the information-technology field. He would like to continue in his specialty but said it is important to stay flexible while looking for a job.
"There's not a lot available in that field," he said.
Heather Shanty, with Camoplast's Human Resources Department, said that company is looking for about 10 employees, mainly production workers and possibly some mechanics.
She said the booth at the Job Fair was working out well.
"I had 50 applications, and I'm all out."
The successful applicant needs to have a high-school diploma or GED. While manufacturing experience would be a plus, Shanty said, it is not necessary.
Camoplast, which makes track systems for snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles, has been in Plattsburgh since the mid 1990s and has about 150 employees here. Shanty said there market seems to be stable at the moment, and she doesn't remember layoffs at the plant.

Clinton, Obama Perform Statistically the Same Among Jewish Voters
by Jonathan Singer, Thu May 08, 2008 at 09:37:38 AM EDT
According to new polling from Gallup, American Jewish voters, who have tended to overwhelmingly support Democrats in elections going back at least about a century, are no more likely to defect from the Democratic ranks should Barack Obama be the party's nominee rather than Hillary Clinton.
Barack Obama is faring better than might be expected among Jewish voters, beating John McCain in Gallup Poll Daily general-election matchups and trailing Hillary Clinton only slightly in Jewish Democrats' preferences for the Democratic nomination.
In terms of the general election, Jewish voters nationwide are nearly as likely to say they would vote for Obama if he were the Democratic nominee running against the Republican McCain (61%), as to say they would vote for Clinton (66%).
According to Gallup's aggregated tracking data for all of April, 61% of Jewish voters would vote for Obama, much higher than the national average of 45% of all registered voters.
Rather than declining between March and April, support for Obama versus McCain among Jewish voters has increased slightly, from a 23-point margin in favor of Obama (58% to 35%) to a 29-point margin (61% to 32%).
The results are similar for Clinton, who received 66% of the vote from Jewish Democrats in April, compared with 27% for McCain -- a 39-point lead. Clinton led McCain by 29 points in March, 61% to 32%.
Gallup does not provide a margin of error for this aggregation of polling data, but doing the math it looks like the margin of error for this data is about plus or minus 3.5 percentage points -- meaning that the difference between the general election performance among American Jews between Clinton and Obama is statistically insignificant.
Now the fact that Obama beats McCain only by a 61 percent to 32 margin among Jewish voters might be a cause for concern for some. After all, John Kerry defeated George W. Bush by a 78 percent to 22 percent margin (.pdf) within this demographic in the two-party vote. However, it's well worth noting that polling at the outset of the Democratic race in late 2003/early 2004 showed Kerry, as well as most of the other Democratic contenders at the time, beating Bush among American Jews by only about 60 percent to 30 percent margin. Even Joe Lieberman only carried the Jewish vote in a hypothetical head-to-head match up at the time by a 71 percent to 24 percent margin. And as late in the game as September 2004, polling indicated that Kerry only led Bush in this subgroup by a 69 percent to 24 percent margin even though he ended wup winning by about a net dozen points more.
So when you actually delve into the numbers, it becomes clear that these numbers actually bode fairly well for Obama's chances among Jewish voters in November. What's more, these numbers seriously undercut the notion that Obama has a serious problem among American Jews resulting from false smear emails or whatever else.

CAROLINE CO, Md. - A drug bust in Caroline County has raised concerns over the rise in prescription drug abuse. "It's a pretty shocking situation to be on for little Caroline county," says Caroline County State's Attorney, Jonathan Newell.
After a three month investigation on the illegal distribution of heroin, an undercover police officer with the Caroline County Drug Task Force was able to purchase quantities of heroin from 23-year-old Anthony Philip Geraci and 22-year-old Edward Drew Graham, both from the Denton area.
In all, six people were arrested at the beginning of 2013 for heroin distribution in Caroline County, along with dozens of others who have been taken in for heroin related charges. According to Newell, the increase in prescription drug and heroin abuse makes for about 80 percent of the county's property crimes like thefts, burglaries, and robberies.
The problem reaches beyond the boarders of Caroline County; regulating opiate abuse has become a statewide initiative in Maryland because of how easy it is to come by the very powerful drugs.
Experts say it can start right in the home, in the medicine cabinet. People are often prescribed painkillers for an injury, or after surgery, but the tiny pills can be extremely addictive. As doctors become more aware of the painkiller abuse, health officials say some doctors are actually under prescribing the drug for fear of sparking an addiction. This can send some users to get their high elsewhere.
"It's a little more difficult to get a hold of prescription drugs," says Cynthia Schiffler of the Wicomico County Health Department, "now what people are doing, if they can get access to the heroin, that's what they'll do."
According to a report from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene there were 205 heroin-related overdose deaths in the first seven months of 2012, compared to 145 during the same period in 2011, an increase of 41 percent. At the same time, overdose deaths related to prescription opioids like oxycodone, hydrocodone and methadone have declined by 15 percent, from 208 to 177.
But the state is working to combat the prescription drug and opioid problem. The Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, which kicked off in December of 2012, but won't be fully functional until August of 2013, allows doctors to track patients who may be getting painkillers from several sources. Officials hope it will not only stop patients from abusing, they'd also like to see it give doctors more confidence to prescribe the dosage of painkillers to patients who really need them.

This collection of urban photographic works is linked to an exhibition of my work held at the Bath Literary and Scientific Institution in November 2011. It is part of the wider 'Bath Art Affair' an annual exhibition by over 30 private and public galleries in Bath who belong to the joint Bath Galleries Group. (Website http://www.bathgalleriesgroup.com/ ) the exhibition of 40 works is included here along with many more. The exhibition website is here: http://david-lewis-baker-images.smugmug.com/
I have been photographing the street life and buildings of world cities for the past 30 years, often on my travels around the globe to academic conferences and as a fine artist I bring to bear an instinctive eye for detail and sense of theatricality, grandeur and place. Many pieces are in the great traditions of urban and street photography, sometimes seeking to deal with iconic sights in a novel manner, or recording tiny moments in time as people hurry by or relax. In the process I focus on those elements of cities and their street life that are often ignored. Amongst other things the works displayed reflect my belief that Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, small though it is, bears comparison with the other world cities examined here, many with more obvious roots in modernism and dynamic change. This is achieved by placing images of iconic buildings and scenes of the life of the city of Bath amongst comparable images from the other 'world cities' including London, New York, Chicago, Delhi, Mumbai, Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Bologna, Cincinnati, and Manchester
The long tradition of urban street photography, to which my work pays due homage, includes urban landscapes as well as street life. Seminal figures in this tradition include Cartier-Bresson, Brassai, Robert Doisneau, William Klein, Bruce Gilden, Garry Winogrand, Andre Kertesz, Lee Friedlander, Bill Brandt, and Diane Arbus. All have had an influence upon me, whether I am aware of it or not. But I also bring my own originality to each piece including a certain sense of irony and surrealism. Cartier-Bresson famously, and correctly, remarked that the urban photographer requires: 'A velvet hand, and a hawk's eye.' While another urban photographer, Elliott Eriwt, pointed out that photography: 'has little to do with the things that you see and everything to do with the way you see them.' Finally, since reality is subjective and illusive, like all the fine arts, fine art photography is, in my view, a way of telling truths through fictions.

- Kate Moss is still in at Agent Provocateur, as their bridal campaign gal.
- Lily Cole and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley were mentioned as new AP faces, but have yet to be confirmed.
- Alice Dellal has possibly been tapped for a future AP campaign.
- Dellal isn't the only new talent rumoured to be on the AP payroll.
There is further whispers that New York model Paz de la Huerta (pictured left), and Helena Christensen have been selected for AP's next mainline campaign, along with Dellal.

Hinsdale South senior guard Toni Romiti has been a three-year all-conference player for the Hornets. | George M. Wilcox~Sun-Times Media
A major part of Toni Romiti's world ended Dec. 12, 2007 — the day her father died.
"It's sad around the holidays," said Romiti, Hinsdale South's senior guard. "Christmas used to be one of my favorite holidays."
Hornets coach Jen Belmonte remembers the first time she saw Romiti play basketball several years ago.
Belmonte was an assistant coach helping then coach Brenda Whitesell at a summer camp for the Hornets. Romiti was a sixth grade student at Burr Ridge Middle School at the time.
"She was always trying to play with the older girls for a long time," Belmonte recalled.
Now Belmonte is Romiti's varsity basketball coach, but there are a few added roles for Belmonte while trying to guide her leading scorer and best player.
Few players, boys or girls, are as competitive as Romiti, who also played on Hinsdale South's perennial state power badminton team last season only because her basketball teammates were playing on the team. Romiti is one of the school's best female athletes and leaves everything on the court. She can be aggressive, feisty, emotional and mainly misunderstood.
Belmonte describes Romiti's personality as "strong."
Romiti's best game of her career was Hinsdale South's second this season although Hinsdale Central beat South 58-48 to open the Hinsdale South Thanksgiving tournament Nov. 15. Romiti scored a career-high 38 points on 14-of-25 shooting, including another career-high 10three-pointers.
But two games later was one of Romiti's worst. She scored eight points in a 56-30 loss to Sandburg with at least a dozen missed shot attempts. She earned her first technical foul of the season after uttering an obscenity after a missed layup in the second half blowout.
"It's a large challenge (coaching Romiti). I get my daily dose of Toni," Belmonte said. "She's funny at practice with her and she'll be great. Once she plays in a competitive situation, when things are not going her way, she can be volatile. At the end of a practice, were are joking again."
Against Morton Nov. 27, Romiti was back to effective play with 28 points in a 64-50 win for the Hornets (2-3, 1-0 West Suburban Gold).
For Belmonte, a former Hornets player herself, being Romiti's coach can also mean being a friend and mentor.
"Toni feels she can tell me anything," Belmonte said.
Mark Anthony Romiti Sr. died at the age of 52 from an aneurysm of the heart. Toni (or Antoinette), the youngest of his three daughters, shares his middle name. Although he had high blood pressure, Mark Romiti loved to golf and worked at ABD Tank & Pump Co. Mark also attended all of Toni's youth softball and basketball games. Toni said many of her teammates could not believe that Mark was her father since he was white, but Romiti's mother is African-American.
Romiti's mother, Janice, does not keep in contact with the family. "My mom has never been around," Toni said.
It was Toni who discovered her father's body after returning home from school.
After Mark's death, Irma, the oldest child, took over as guardian and raised Mark Jr., 21, Tina, 19, and Toni. Toni lives in Willowbrook with Irma and her son, Kendall, 9, who now regularly attends Toni's games.
"Irma is an amazing person," Toni said. "She is such a strong person. She has taken care of all of us since she was 27. She's a great person. She's very strong."
Irma received her degree from the University of Illinois-Chicago in industrial engineering and currently works for a construction company.
After her father's death, Toni became more serious about basketball. She transferred to Cass Junior High in Darien for the eighth grade and won a championship with current teammate MacKenzie Kern.
Toni knows there are only a few months left to her high basketball career. She said she has not received much interest from colleges, but would seem best suited for a junior college program looking for a tough-as-nails player. Romiti is aware of her reputation.
"I try to tell myself it's OK," Romiti said. "It's hard for me. I try. I don't know what I do sometimes."

United States Supreme Court to Decide Circuit Split In Case Involving Application of Plain Error Standard in Criminal Appeals:Henderson v. United States, No. 11-9307
Although the Court's calendar is quiet for this Thanksgiving week, Florida's criminal appeals attorneys might like to know that after Thanksgiving, the United States Supreme Court will be holding oral argument in a case involving the application of plain error standard in criminal cases where the law changes while the case is on appeal. In Henderson v. United States, No. 11-9307, the question presented is:
Rule 52(b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure permits an appellate court to
correct a trial court's "plain error" despite the lack of an objection in the trial
court. In Johnson v. United States, 520 U.S. 461 (1997), this Court held that, when
the governing law on an issue is settled against the defendant at the time of trial
but then changes in the defendant's favor by the time of appeal, "it is enough that
an error be 'plain' at the time of appellate consideration." Id. at 468. Johnson did
not address the timing of plain-error review when the governing law on an issue is
unsettled at trial but clarified in the defendant's favor while his appeal is pending.
The courts of appeals have split 5 to 3 on the question that Johnson left open. That
question, which this case squarely presents, is:
When the governing law is unsettled at the time of trial but settled in the
defendant's favor by the time of appeal, should an appellate court reviewing for
"plain error" apply Johnson's time-of-appeal standard, as the First, Second, Sixth,
Tenth, and Eleventh Circuits do, or should the appellate court apply the Ninth
Circuit's time-of-trial standard, which the D.C. Circuit and the panel below have
Happy Thanksgiving!

PLATTSBURGH — The 2013 road-construction season has begun.
Crews ask that motorists use caution when driving through work zones, where fines are doubled for speeding.
Here's a look at some of the projects around Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties:
Route 190, Ellenburg: Crews are working on the connector between routes 190 and 11. Traffic is controlled by flaggers.
Narrows Road, Ellenburg: Crews will begin rehabilitation of the Narrows Road Bridge on June 24. During that time, the road will be closed and a detour will be in place. Work is expected to be completed in November.
Lake Shore Road, Chazy: Crews will begin rehabilitation of the bridge over the Little Chazy River immediately south of Lapointe Road on June 24. During that time, the road will be closed and a detour will be in place.
Route 9, Beekmantown: Crews are performing shoulder-cutting operations on alternating sides of the road, moving along Route 9 between Route 11 and Spellman Road in Beekmantown. Traffic is reduced to one lane in both directions where work is taking place.
Interstate 87, Plattsburgh: The northbound and southbound lanes have been reduced to one lane from Route 3 to Exit 39. Work-zone speed is 45 mph. There is a signed detour for motorists trying to use the Exit 38 northbound on-ramp, which is closed. There are lane restrictions of 16 feet in the southbound lane and 18 feet in the northbound lane. One-lane traffic will remain until early October.
Route 22, Plattsburgh: Crews are reconstructing the overpass over Interstate 87. There are some daily lane closures. Traffic is controlled by flaggers.
Guideboard Road, Town of Black Brook: The road is closed due to a drainage-structure failure. Crews are working to reopen the road by July 4. Motorists should follow the signed detour.
Boynton Avenue: Crews are reconstructing the road between Lynde Street and Woodland Avenue. Traffic is controlled by flaggers.

Family affected by heart defect look to raise awareness of condition
11:00am Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News By Helen Morton, Senior Reporter
A BASINGSTOKE couple whose daughter suffers from a serious congenital heart defect are speaking out to raise awareness of the condition.
Nationally, last week was Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) Awareness week – and it is a little-known fact that around one in every 100 children is born with some form of heart defect.
Lisa Budd's daughter Madeleine was born with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and a genetic disorder, DiGeorge syndrome.
Lisa, 39, explained: "It is not that uncommon for a child to be born with a heart defect but the severity of that can vary a great deal.
"The important thing is that children are diagnosed quickly. We were lucky and had a diagnosis before she was born, but a lot of people will have no idea until their baby turns blue and they are rushed to hospital in an ambulance."
Lisa and her partner Adrian Linsell, 40, a manufacturing engineer, are supporting The Children's Heart Federation's campaign to make sure all new-borns are tested for CHD.
A test, Pulse Oximetry, can be used to diagnose up to 90 per cent of heart defects in seconds, by measuring oxygen levels in the blood.
It is painless, cheap and the equipment is available in every hospital – but only one in five currently offers the test to all new-borns.
For Madeleine, who is now 20 months, it is a question of managing her condition and trying to shield her from infection.
In her short life, she has already gone through two operations on her heart – one of which was complex open heart surgery – and had 10 catheters, two peri-arrests (a cardiac rhythmic disorder), suffered collapsed lungs and pneumonia.
Lisa, of Worting Road, said: "It is heartbreaking to see your child suffer. We know she will need more surgery on her heart as she grows and we don't really know what the future holds as medicine moves so quickly.
"We're really keen to raise awareness of the condition, and the importance of all new-borns being tested for CHD."

I congratulate this paper and the Madeleines family for helping to raise awareness for a condition that is more common than you would think.
Vital work is being done by www.maxappeal.org.uk in bringing families together in the uk and trying to ensure that all affected have the future they deserve.
I wish Madeleine and her family all the very best for her recovery and for her future

Reviews for Makeover Chicken Enchilada Soup
Sort By :
This is the best enchilada soup ever!!!! I have made it numerous times. Stepson coming home on leave and wants this first thing!!!
I used chicken broth in place of water and cooked my chicken in it. It has a unique texture.
This was delicious. I used cheddar cheese instead of the Velveeta, full sodium broth and added a chopped red pepper and 1/2 c or so of frozen corn, and left out the tortilla strips. My husband and 4 year old both ate seconds.
Pretty good! It could use a few more vegetables. I throw in a chopped up bell pepper, celery, or corn to further it along.
This soup got rave reviews. Three people claimed it was the best soup they have ever eaten. I made it exactly as the recipe calls but doubled the recipe.

The Chicago Bears lead the Detroit Lions 10-0 at halftime on Monday night, but the Bears may be without Jay Cutler, who left the game late in the first half with a possible rib injury.
Cutler was injured when he was sacked awkwardly by Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. Cutler returned to the game after missing one play, but he went into the locker room early with a possible rib injury. Before he left, Cutler completed 9-of-17 passes for 73 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed twice for 35 yards.
Matt Forte had a solid first half, rushing 13 times for 69 yards. Brandon Marshall caught four passes for 56 yards in the first half, including the Bears' lone touchdown. The Bears added a Robbie Gould field goal for the 10-0 lead. Chicago had a chance to extend its lead, but Gould had a second field-goal attempt blocked.
While the Bears have had their moments, Detroit's offense was unable to get much going offensively. Detroit racked up just 91 yards in the first half, gaining two first downs. Matthew Stafford completed 8-of-15 passes for 43 yards. Calvin Johnson was held without a catch.
The Bears will get the ball to begin the second half.
