Charge denied in roadside drug bustBy Eric Francis
Correspondent | March 24,2014WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A South Londonderry man is facing a felony heroin possession charge as the result of a routine traffic stop that took place a month ago in Chester.
Ryan Magoon, 25, pleaded innocent to the charge last week in White River Junction criminal court.
Magoon was a passenger in a pickup that was stopped Feb. 10 for running a stop sign at the intersection of routes 11 and 103 in Chester. Vermont State Police Trooper Eric Vitali said he became suspicious because Magoons hands were shaking and he avoided eye contact.
Vitali said Magoon and the woman who was driving the truck each admitted they had driven to Springfield that day to buy a bundle of 10 bags of heroin from a local dealer for $120.
Vitali said a search of the pair turned up two small glassine bags of heroin in the drivers pockets and seven bags of heroin were found in Magoons socks and his jacket.
Magoon allegedly told police hed smoked marijuana earlier in the day and had snorted the 10th bag of heroin from the bundle while still at the dealers residence.
Magoon was convicted of reckless endangerment last fall and has prior convictions for violating abuse prevention orders, disorderly conduct, and violating conditions of release.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

Glee's Season 4 Britney Spears Tribute Had Lea Michele "Laughing Hysterically"
Oops, Glee's doing it again! The show is delivering another Britney Spears tribute as its second episode in Season 4, and with everything we're hearing about it, the episode promises to be as amazing as the first one. We should be so "lucky"!
So what can we expect? We haven't yet heard any confirmed song titles, but Chord Overstreet (Sam) did let an intriguing hint slip to E! Online. Chord says he was recently in the studio working on "one of her most recent singles," and that it will be a "little group number" and a "really cool version of it." Hmmm!
So which song could Chord be referring to? We're thinking that it would have to be a single off her most recent album, 2011's Femme Fatale, and that album's two biggest singles were "Hold It Against Me" or "Till the World Ends." If you ask us, either one would be an awesome choice for the show!
The first Britney episode focused on Glee's own Brittany S. Pierce, which will also be the case for the Season 4 go-around. "Heather Morris — it's all for her character, Brittany, again," Lea Michele (Rachel) tells E! Online. We can't wait, since we can never get enough Brittany! Perhaps Brittany will feel, since she's stuck in high school for another year, that she's "not a girl, not yet a woman"? We shall see.
We can assume that the tribute episode will be mighty sexy, as the first one was, but we're also hearing that we should expect plenty of laughs, too. Lea says that when she first read the script, she was "laughing hysterically." She even texted creator Ryan Murphy at the time, telling him, "'You've got to be kidding me!'" Sounds like we're in for some surprises.
All we know is, the suspense is driving us crazy — but it feels alright! Glee, thinkin' of you keeps us up all night.

UofL Brings National Title Back Home to Kentucky
By John Clay & Lexington Herald-Leader
After a season of some pretty bad basketball all around, this was 40 minutes of fun. After some ups and downs during the past 16 years, this was 40 minutes of Rick Pitino cementing his legend, becoming the first coach to win a national title at two different schools. After 12 months, it took just 40 minutes to bring the NCAA championship trophy right back to the commonwealth. Last year, Kentucky. This year, Louisville. Take that North Carolina. Take that Indiana. Take that all those other so-called basketball states. And Louisville had to earn the title, outlasting a young and talented Michigan team, superbly coached by John Beilein, that led the Cards by as many as 12 points in the first half before finally falling 82-76.

What exactly is it that we expect from our college and university presidents? We want them to be courageous and visible leaders who will take us in the right direction. Do they need to be national leaders too? Preferably outspoken.
Depending on the size of the institution, the library staff may get to know the president well. My experience is that this tends to happen more at small, more intimately sized colleges. At a large research university, sightings of the president in the library are rare. The larger the institution, the bigger the challenges—such as raising lots of money—so, as long as the provost can handle it, the library stays off the president's agenda.
Despite infrequent sightings, we still hold high expectations for our presidents. We want them to stand for what's right, to maintain impeccable standards of honesty while being down to earth and approachable. More typically, our presidents let us down. Even when there's little to criticize, limited transparency leaves us wishing for more.
Now the higher education pundits ask what has become of the noble president, that larger than life leader who weighs in on important societal issues. It leaves us wondering if our presidents matter at all.

LILBURN -- It's not just a park renovation. It's a gut job.
Seven years since taking over Lilburn Lions Club Park, county officials have approved the work to give the nearly 40-year-old park an entirely new life.
"I know it will mean, for that athletic association, it'll mean better facilities and better ability to serve the youth that are playing there. And with all the additional amenities, it'll serve all age brackets, not just the youth," said Jack Bolton, who has spent decades trying to help the park along.
Formerly managed by the local Lions Club, the city took over the park in the 1990s, years before Bolton became a councilman then mayor.
A decade later, degradation left the city with little choice but to sell it, before local parents rallied to entreat the county into making it a part of the Gwinnett park system.
Not long after the county took over in 2005, upgrading the facilities to a level that would keep kids safe as they played, local parent Gerald Mitchell said he was glad to keep the "Patriot pride" alive in a community that feeds into Berkmar's athletic programs.
Now, Community Services Director Phil Hoskins says a $5.3 million reconstruction project approved by commissioners May 1 will constitute more than a face-lift.
"The project involves totally demolishing the existing facilities and building a five-field baseball/softball complex with parking, a concessions/restroom building, a plaza area and batting cages. Other major elements will include a pavilion and playground area with parking and restrooms as well as a 1.1-mile paved trail with benches, adult swings and small shelters," Hoskins said in an email.
Over the past several years, county officials have added to the 33 acres leased from the city, bringing the total new park acreage to 50 acres.
Bolton, a Recreation Authority member who served on a steering committee of neighbors who helped design the new park, said one of the features he is most excited about is the park's trail, which will connect to the two-plus-mile Lilburn Greenway, connecting homeowners from Rockbridge Road to Killian Hill Road.
Fulfilling a need in the under-served community, Lions Club Park will be just a part of the youth sports for the Berkmar community, Bolton said, adding that nearby Bryson Park will house the football and soccer programs.
Construction is expected to begin next month, and the park will remain closed until the work is completed next spring.

Lavazza set to purchase Carte Noire
Lavazza, the historic Italian coffee company, has offered to buy the French brand Carte Noire for an estimated $880 million. Leading European news agencies believe that the deal could see Lavazza take a commanding market-leading position in France as a result and, crucially, see their revenue in the country treble.
The formal contracts haven't been signed, yet, but this is a significant advancement in a saga that for months showed no signs of drawing to a conclusion.
In a statement, Lavazza announced that they had tabled a binding offer for Carte Noire's business within the thirty one nations that comprise the European Economic Area, subject to official approval from the French authorities and the European Commission.

County Durham care home fears
County Durham care home accountant admits fraud
A care home accountant from County Durham has admitted defrauding the estates of dead residents to the amount of £180,000.
36-year-old Steven Mason abused his position as group internal auditor at Four Seasons Health Care to carry out the fraud between September 2010 and September 2011.
Mason, of Seaview, Easington, appeared at Teesside Crown Court to admit one count of fraud.
He withdrew money from the bank accounts of dead residents who lived across the UK.
The case was adjourned to allow a pre-sentence report to be prepared and Christopher Knox, defending, said he would ask a psychiatrist's advice "to deal with the question of addiction".
Mason was granted unconditional bail and will be sentenced on September 5.

Gateshead care home fined £8,000 after failing inspection
A care home has been fined £8,000 after failing an inspection by the Care Quality Commission.
Rosewood House in Gateshead was given two fixed penalty notices after it failed to meet national standards on several counts:
- Managing medicines: some residents were not given all their medicines because some supplies ran out - and allergies were not always recorded.
- Care and welfare of residents
The home was inspected in April and May last year and again in July. The regulator says improvements have been made since then.
Rosewood Care LLP, which runs the home, has released a statement:

I made the mistake of letting the girls drink a red bull while they were in make up. By the time we were ready to shoot stills, for the life of me, I couldn't get them to hold a pose. The light was low and moody, so I needed to shoot at a lower/slower shutter speed than usual, which makes holding still essential. Despite Sasha and Brittney being extremely hot, It was a tough pictorial to complete. That being said, It probably makes me appreciate the pictures that much more. Image # 65 is my fav. -Mark Lit

I found out yesterday what you did
My hart aced so much I didn't know that was possible
But it's another day and my chest feels empty
Void of all things
How can I still be alive when my hart dose not seem to beet
My mind is so overloaded I can't see strata
And the only think I seem to do is grind my teeth
And curst you out for lying to me
You the words get chocked in my through
And the tears just well but never fall
I can't keep my eyes off the wall
Staring into space trying not to freak out
Yet of cores to day every one want to disrespect and though around words
Like a base ball game
Don't they know I got a shorter fuses then every before
And my steel tows on
To day if ever I'm ready to let lose
Blind rage not even a bullet to the head could cure
Ill come back as a ghost and haunt the **** out of you
Casper the devil ghost is what they will call me
And that is true

Baby, I see you starin' at him,
But you ought to give me whirl;
'Cause he's a handsome hunk,
But when he gets drunk...
Baby, he likes ugly girls.
Yeah, he still lives with his Momma
Even tho' he's 33.
She starches and irons his jeans and shirts,
And he brings home new recipes.
She's told him he's good lookin',
And there's no doubt it's true;
But when he takes home a pretty woman,
Momma says, "Son, she won't be true."
She says, "Son, if you want good lovin',
A plain and homely gal will provide.
She'll treat you right, mornin' and night;
And keep you satisfied."
So baby, you can stare at him,
But you ought to give me a whirl;
'Cause he's a handsome hunk,
But when he gets drunk....
Baby, he likes ugly girls.
You don't stand a chance.
That boy loves his Momma.
Yeah, he goes for ugly girls.

Commissioners will end agreements with city
The Lee County Board of Commissioners voted Monday to terminate several interlocal agreements unless a suitable compromise could be reached with the City of Sanford — catching some Sanford City officials off guard.
Lee County Manager John Crumpton sent a formal letter of intent to the City of Sanford Tuesday after the board of commissioners unanimously voted to end current interlocal agreements with several departments including Community Development, Planning and Zoning, Building Inspections, GIS, Tax Collection and Animal Control Services effective June 30, 2013.
If the agreements are not renewed, the county would need to hire employees for a planning department, Crumpton said, an idea suggested during Monday's meeting. Everything else "works the other way, where (the city) would have to get people," Crumpton said.
Sanford Mayor Cornelia Olive said Tuesday she hadn't reviewed the commissioners' meeting, but had hoped more communication would have taken place before such a decision was made. And said she was surprised by the board's vote.
"We know there is a new majority on the county commissioner board, and we anticipated some changes," she said. "But we had hoped communication between the two boards would remain strong so that our planning process will be more predictable."
Monday's meeting was the first for Amy Dalrymple, Ricky Frazier and Kirk Smith and the board's conservative majority.
"The board is willing to discuss new agreements on all interlocal agreements with the city, if the city wishes to continue any of the relationships with the county," Crumpton wrote in his letter to the city. "... We are making plans to move forward with this new direction. However, we can change that direction if the city council is willing to work on new agreements."
Several interlocal agreements were originally intended to create a "one-stop shop" for businesses and residents within the county several decades ago, Crumpton said.
"It's the majority's will to lower taxes," he said. "Going through the budget process year after year, one area we have not been able to lower costs is in the agreements with the city. We are cutting, but those joint agreements seem to go up every year."
For example, the cost of the planning department has increased at twice the rate of inflation, Crumpton said. The county needs to ask what it is getting in return, he said.
In his letter, he cited concerns by some commissioners, dating back to 2011, who believed the county was subsidizing the city with agreement rate increases.
Sanford City Manager Hal Hegwer said he plans to circulate the information to the council and will look for its guidance in moving forward.
"It's a lot to digest," he said. "It's something I will forward to city council and seek their input and what direction they want to go."
Dalrymple said she didn't want the action to appear adversarial toward the city, but the contracts needed to be reviewed.
"We have some interinterlocal agreements that are as old as I am," she said. "... We need to revisit them. It's not pulling anything away from either one of the governing bodies; we may lose out on some of the agreements, but we have to come up to 2012."
Commissioner Charlie Parks, the newly appointed board chairman, said the county has previously tried to resolve its concerns and frustrations, but to no avail.
For more than three years the county has instructed the manager to meet with the city without receiving any positive response, Parks said in a letter to The Herald. A small group of representatives were asked to attend a meeting that included the city, Town of Broadway and the county to encourage "meaningful dialog for the betterment of all" but no progress was made, he said in the letter.
"The city clearly has no interest in renegotiating the agreements so the commissioners were forced to make a difficult decision," Parks wrote. "Either keep these agreements which are inequitable or cancel them and offer the city one last chance to offer options for changing the agreements. Unanimously it was agreed that the time was up and it is time to move on."
The commissioners plan to aid all the residents of Lee County, including working with the city when "they are ready to have serious discussions," he wrote.
Olive disagreed and said there has always been cohesiveness between the two boards.
"In the past, there has been a cooperative spirit between the two governments, and my experience has been that we always wanted the best for both, the city and the county," she said. "And I think that has been my approach to whatever we have done as a council."
Sanford City Council's Law and Finance Committee meeting is set for next Wednesday, and the agreements will probably be placed on the agenda, she said.

Volunteer firefighter Garrett W. Loomis has been honored by the New York State Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Albany.
On Tuesday, October 11th Loomis's name was inscribed on the memorial in Albany during a memorial ceremony.
Each year during National Fire Prevention Week, New Yorkers and fire service organizations gather to remember fallen firefighters who gave their lives in order to keep others safe.
Loomis lost his life while in the line of duty, serving as the Assistant Chief of the Sackets Harbor Volunteer Fire Department.
In 2001, at age 18, he began his firefighting career with the Sackets Harbor Fire Department following in the footsteps of his brother, father, and grandfather.
Loomis, after finishing college, attended the New York State Fire Academy at Montour Falls and took a job as a firefighter for the City of Wilmington, NC in 2007. In 2009, Loomis had the opportunity to return home to Sackets Harbor when he was offered a job as a federal firefighter with the Fort Drum Fire and Emergency Services Division of Fort Drum Army Base - the same department his father had served with for over 20 years.
He once again joined the Sackets Harbor Volunteer Fire Department to serve the community. He was promoted the following year to Assistant Chief in Sackets Harbor as a result of his experience, leadership, and dedication.
On July 26, 2011 the Fort Drum community honored Loomis by dedicating their new fire station in his name and memory.
Garrett's last Facebook quote said it all: "Hope and pray that you'll never need me, but rest assured I will not let you down. I'll walk beside you, but you may not see me."
"In ways both big and small, our state's firefighters are heroes every day," said David Jacobowitz, President of the Firemen's Association of the State of New York. "The recent floods that struck much of the state highlighted the fact that our volunteer firefighters are willing to put themselves on the line - both in their own communities and in other parts of the state - to help others. Today we honor those firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving their fellow New Yorkers."
The memorial was dedicated in 1999; as of today's ceremony, there will be 2,366 names inscribed on the wall, the earliest of which is from 1811.
For more information, visit http://www.dos.state.ny.us/fire/memorial/memorial.htm.
In an earlier report from Nathan Lehman, WTNY, Loomis is also being honored this morning in Maryland:
A Sackets Harbor firefighter will among those honored in a national memorial to fallen firefighters.
Garrett Loomis, the assistant chief for the Sackets Harbor Fire Department and a professional firefighter with the Ft. Drum Fire Department, died on April 11, 2010 while battling a silo fire in the Town of Hounsfield.
Loomis is among ten firefighters from New York State and over 70 nationwide who will be honored in a ceremony this coming weekend in Maryland as part of the 30th Annual National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service.

Risk Factors
- Previous allergic reaction to an allergen, even if it is a mild reaction
- History of eczema , hay fever , or asthma
- Children who have certain conditions, such as spina bifida and urogenital defects may be at increased risk for latex allergy due to heavy exposure to latex during multiple surgeries
- Hives and itching
- Warmth or redness of skin
- Swelling, redness, stinging or burning, especially on the face, mouth, eyes, or hands
- Lightheadedness and pale/blue skin color
- Chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and wheezing
- Nausea, vomiting, cramping, diarrhea , or abdominal pain
- Loss of consciousness
- Epinephrine (adrenaline) injection—makes blood vessels constrict, relaxes the airway, stops itching and hives, and relieves gastrointestinal cramping
- Other medications—corticosteroids and/or antihistamines may be given after the epinephrine to decrease inflammation and improve breathing.
- Bronchodilators—to improve breathing
- IV fluids—to maintain blood pressure
- Oxygen
- Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)—may be necessary in severe cases when anaphylaxis leads to cardiovascular collapse. Severe anaphylaxis may require mechanical ventilation until swelling is brought under control.
- Allergy shots can decrease the risk of anaphylaxis and reduce the severity of the reactions to certain triggers.
- Wear a medical alert bracelet that lists your allergies.
- Tell your doctor or dentist about your allergies before taking any medication. When possible, ask that medications be taken as a pill. Allergic reactions can be more severe with injected medications.
- Your doctor may give you a self-injectable epinephrine kit to keep with you at home, work, in the car, and when you travel. Be sure family and friends know how to use the kit too. Get training from your doctor and practice using it in the doctor's office.
- Make sure your epinephrine kit is not expired.
- Avoid any exercise that triggers a reaction. In some cases, exercise-induced anaphylaxis can be triggered by food or specific food allergies. Stop exercising at the first sign of a reaction.
- Make sure the school nurse and teachers know about any allergies your child has. If your child has self-injectable epinephrine, make sure school staff knows how to use it and understand when it is needed.
- If you are allergic to insect stings, wear protective clothing when outside.
- Always remain in the doctor or dentist's office 30 minutes after you have an injection. Report any symptoms right away.

Now that the Bulls and Blackhawks are out of the playoffs, it's time for the Cubs to step up to the plate (pun intended) and start being at least remotely entertaining.
Bring on the circus catches, the late inning rallies, the tape measure HR shots, the...aww, who am I kidding. Just start scoring some damn runs so I don't start seriously considering watching I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
Go Cubs.
P.S. I was going to live-blog the game tonight, but decided against it for obvious reasons. I will be "tweeting" about it, however. Feel free to check it out here.
P.P.S. Soriano homered as I was writing this post. I will now begin to eat crow.

Basic Carpentry Tutorial
Techniques, tips and tricks of the trade
If you are DIYer or just new to carpentry you'll want to know some basic carpentry techniques, tips, tricks of the trade and ideas. I've injured myself badly several times since starting my apprenticeship (mainly when rushing to finish) including having shot myself with a nail-gun and planing a chunk of my finger off. I've damaged materials too. So, hopefully the information in this section will save you time, wasted materials and maybe even prevent some self inflicted injuries!
Carpentry books
Carpentry Terms
Familiarise yourself with the carpentry terms that you'll be hearing or look up those you may of heard but don't know the meaning of. Click here for a huge list of common carpentry terms and their meanings.
Basic Carpentry Techniques
Measuring and Marking Out
Carpenters need to read technical drawings with a scale ruler and then transfer the measurements on the job site. Using a scale ruler is like using a normal rule, only you need to find the side with the corresponding scale that the drawing is working to.
Another measuring tool is the tape measure. Tape measures come in either imperial, metric or both. Click the link above for more information about reading and using tape measures.
Carpentry Maths and Formulas
You'll need to know how to check for square, how to calculate square areas and bisect angles amongst others. Click here for a list of commonly used carpentry formulas each with explanations you can understand!

Murphy memorial garden delayed until 2013
Every time I pass the site of the Isaac Murphy Memorial Art Garden, I wonder why nothing seems to be happening there. I thought the park was to have been built by now, complete with the winning concept for a public art piece.
Yet nothing is going on at the corner of Third Street and Midland Avenue.
The memorial ran into a couple of snags that appear to be giving way, said David Cozart, president of the memorial board.
The board had asked for bids for excavation and construction of the park, but those estimates came back higher than expected, he said. Apparently, the companies that bid on the project "thought it was bedrock under there," Cozart said. But tests determined that there is only dirt, which will decrease costs.
That and design modifications will lower costs when bids are requested again in the new year.
"We are still rolling," Cozart said. "We are fully funded and ready to come out with construction."
The memorial garden will be at one end of The Legacy Trail, which when completed will be a 12-mile paved walking and biking trail. So far, eight miles have been completed, from the Northside YMCA on Loudon Avenue to the Kentucky Horse Park.
The city received a $2.7 million federal grant to complete the third phase of the Legacy Trail, from the memorial garden to Jefferson Street, which is scheduled for completion in 2013.
Keith Lovan, senior municipal engineer and Legacy Trail project manager, said construction of the memorial garden is awaiting state approval of the use of $300,000 of that. Approval is hoped for by January.
Then bids will be let, followed by construction in the spring. Even though the project has been frustratingly slow for everyone, "it is definitely on track," Lovan said.
Once construction is complete, art pieces will be installed at the garden.
Earlier this year, the board received proposals for five pieces of public art that would define the park. Artists from Lexington, Ohio, California and New York submitted scale models of art pieces that would invite visitors to explore Murphy's life and the lives of other less famous black jockeys.
The board, with public input, selected pieces by Neal and Tiffany Bociek of San Diego, and LaVon Williams of Lexington.
The Bocieks, a husband-and-wife team, created My Home Is a Horse and a Track, which features a silhouetted image of Murphy racing on a horse that intersects with another horse. Rising above the horses is a circular disc bearing Murphy's image that can spin 360 degrees. The piece is meant to show Murphy looking over his property and the nearby community, which once included the Kentucky Association Racetrack.
Williams created three pieces meant to cover the back and sides of a bench that would be in the park. One side would acknowledge Murphy's love for his wife, Lucy; another would be a tribute to Murphy as a jockey. The third would depict Murphy's unique riding style.
Because William's medium is wood, Cozart said, he will team with University of Kentucky associate art professor and sculptor Garry Bibbs, who works with metal, so the art piece would require less maintenance.
Until then, we will be warmed by a colorful tree that will be erected soon and lighted during a ceremony — complete with Christmas carols and free hot chocolate — at dusk on Nov. 26.
Thomas Tolliver, vice president of the memorial board, said the tree will feature ornaments made by children who attend the William Wells Brown Community Center. The ornaments will have an "East end motif," he said.
"We are real proud that the city has chosen the Isaac Murphy park as a site of one of the community Christmas trees," Tolliver said.
That's fine. But I'm looking forward to a completed memorial garden as well.

When Exxon and Mobil merged last november in the largest corporate marriage ever, Texas became ground zero for Big Oil's big consolidation. But the applause that likely would have greeted the $81 billion megadeal in decades past, when crude ruled, has been muffled by the realities of a new century. For one thing, Texas now has an Information Age economy driven by tech-related businesses. So Even Bigger Big Oil doesn't pack the same wallop it once did in a state that also serves as home base for the nation's largest computermaker (Dell), telecommunications company (SBC Communications), and supplier of computer chips for printers and cell phones (Texas Instruments). Furthermore, the rock-bottom oil prices of 1998 and intense international competition drove Exxon and Mobil together; they and other big oil companies concluded they had no choice but to get bigger to survive and prosper in the future. Ironically, in Exxon and Mobil's case that meant picking up pieces of the past and putting back together fragments of Standard Oil Company—Exxon and Mobil each trace their lineage to the monopoly built by John D. Rockefeller, Sr.—which the U.S. Supreme Court broke up in 1911. That's led some to dub the merger "Rockefeller's Revenge."
And revenge can be sweet. Certainly there are perks to having the world's largest oil company call Texas home. The powerful ExxonMobil behemoth has a huge presence here: Its corporate headquarters are in Irving, the combined operation is consolidating its exploration and production company and chemical company in Houston, and it will operate 1,700 Exxon- or Mobil-branded stations across the state. The merged company is so big, in fact, that it had to hold its annual meeting in late May at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in downtown Dallas.
Not everyone is clearly benefiting, however, as the Tiger and the Winged Horse tackle the task of welding themselves into a leaner, competitively meaner animal. In some cases, it's too early to tell what the consequences will be. Take philanthropy. In Texas, pre-merger Exxon and Mobil have each been important corporate donors; past recipients of major gifts include the Texas A&M University Foundation, the Nature Center in Baytown (where Exxon operates a huge refinery) and the Dallas Zoo, which last year opened its $4.5 million Exxon Endangered Tiger Habitat. So far, the A&M Foundation and the Dallas Zoo haven't seen their funding levels change. Other institutions are optimistic in theory, since this is the first year the companies will make gifts as one corporation instead of two. Mobil has been a major contributor to the arts, while Exxon has concentrated on civic organizations, education, and the environment, where it's been the nation's single largest corporate giver (not surprising when you remember that "Valdez" often follows "Exxon" in our collective memory).
Speaking of the environment, watchdog groups are quick to point out that Exxon and Mobil, first separately and now together, oppose the "Kyoto protocol," which would impose mandatory restrictions on the use of fossil fuels because of fears about global warming. Public Citizen, for one, warns that megamergers in the oil business ultimately will give companies more political power to lobby against tougher environmental regulations.
In the fullness of time, fallout from the creation of ExxonMobil will be evident across the board. For now, here's how the winners and losers are stacking up.
Winner: Houston
Loser: Dallas
Even though Exxon moved its corporate offices from New York to the Dallas suburbs ten years ago, Big D has really been a Mobil town. Before the merger, the company had a high-profile presence around the city—its red neon Pegasus icon atop the Magnolia Building at Commerce and Akard streets is a landmark—and employed about 2,300 people in Dallas, the second-largest concentration of workers outside its home base of Fairfax, Virginia.
All that's changing, though. Dallas may be able to brag that it has the headquarters of the world's largest oil company in its back yard, but Houston has gotten the real glory in the form of thousands of jobs. When the merger was first announced, Exxon and Mobil forecast that 9,000 jobs would be cut company-wide; in December the number was jacked up to 16,000. The company is still in the process of figuring out who's being cut and transferred and which cities will be affected, but it has been reported that about 2,000 Dallas-area jobs will be shifted to Houston, where Exxon had already employed 12,800. By contrast, only about 400 people work at ExxonMobil's corporate offices in Irving.
But Dallas is losing more than Mobil jobs; it's also continuing to lose its luster as an energy business center and an E&P (exploration and production) town where oil company logos once decorated the tops of skyscrapers and where a popular prime-time soap opera documenting the wheelings and dealings of ruthless oilman J. R. Ewing was set (somehow, a TV show called Houston, with Ewing Oil ensconced in a Post Oak highrise, doesn't have quite the same cachet). On the other hand, Houston, which had its economy battered by the oil industry in the 1980's bust, is getting its luster back. Bill Gilmer, an economist in the Houston branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, says that oil directly and indirectly supports more than half of the city's 2 million jobs. So-called "upstream" jobs at company headquarters and production units, where key decisions are made, account for 56,000 jobs in Houston—nearly four times more than Dallas, Gilmer estimates. "Houston has recreated its role as the energy capital not only of Texas but of the

Elizabethtown ELIZABETHTOWN — The familiar chain of Grand Union supermarkets throughout the North Country that became Tops supermarkets in 2001 — only to revert back to Grand Union several years later — will once again be known as Tops.
Tops Friendly Markets announced Thursday, July 19, it had entered into an agreement with Grand Union Markets LLC, to acquire 21 facilities located in upstate New York and Vermont, according to a release by the company.
The Grand Unions purchased by Tops include stores in the following Adirondack locations: Elizabethtown, Au Sable Forks, two locations in Saranac Lake (Lake Flower Avenue and Church Street), Bolton Landing, Chestertown, Schroon Lake, Corinth, Warrensburg, North Creek, Northville and Peru.
Tops has also purchased several Vermont locations including Hardwick, Northfield and Rutland.
Tops officials said the local stores will still be called Grand Union until the transfer is complete, which is expected to happen this fall. The acquisition will bring the number of Tops stores to 153 and will expand Tops' footprint further into areas of northern and eastern New York state and neighboring northern Vermont.
"We are very excited about this growth opportunity for Tops, especially since these stores are a natural extension of our current footprint," said Frank Curci, Tops Markets president and CEO. "We are looking forward to having these stores and the surrounding communities become part of the Tops family."
Grand Union Markets LLC is an affiliate of C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc., based in Keene, N.H.
"We believe this transition makes excellent strategic sense for both organizations," said Michael Newbold, EVP and Chief Administrative Officer for C&S Wholesale Grocers. "It allows Tops to strengthen its retail network, while C&S will continue to focus on its core business of providing innovative supply and logistics solutions to its wholesale customers. C&S very much appreciates its deep partnership with Tops and looks forward to the second decade of our relationship."

My very favorite book as a child was From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. I still have (and occasionally read) it!
My daughter has been asking for a nook – she loves to use mine. And I can't tell you the people who think I am crazy for considering getting her one. The same people who will pay even more for a gaming system are shocked that I would spend that much money on something to encourage READING. People are dumb.

So it's tomorrow night, then, and not tonight?
NG in NH On Tuesday, June 28 at 12:07 pm
Brooke — I was a little confused by that discrepancy, too… I guess we can check both tonight and tomorrow, eh? Although it does clearly state "Wednesday, June 29″ so I'm betting that's the day.

My favorite book, which I took out of St. Matthews Parochial School library many, many times, was called Bug in a Rug, and I wish I still had a copy!
Patti Rabbit On Tuesday, June 28 at 10:44 am
You should look for Bug in a Rug on Amazon. My favorite book was Five O'Clock Charlie and I found one on Amazon last year. It brought back such memories.
Jackie On Tuesday, June 28 at 10:43 am
My favorite book was about telling time…I still have it. It had clock hands that you could turn while learning to tell time. As an adult I loved the Thornbirds and loved the movie too.

The vocabulary quiz was always my favorite in the Reader's Digest, not that I was really very good at it.

Shelly R On Tuesday, June 28 at 11:48 am
My favorite book as a child was the classic Disney book Cinderella. The smell of the new book, the vivid colors and those cute little mice. I loved everything about that book, probably because it was the only new book I remember having and I was such a tomboy, that it seemed like a fantasy world to me.

My favorite childhood books were the "Little House on the Prairie" series. I checked them out at the school library so many times that the librarian gave me the old, worn set when she purchased a new set.
Josey On Tuesday, June 28 at 12:55 pm
Definitely Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was special from the get-go because my dad bought it for me (I was prob 10 at the time) while he was on a business trip to CA in the 60s. My dad was great about bringing all of us something each time he went on a business trip and we all looked forward to his returns.
I read it all in one sitting and thought it was magical! I read and re-read it over the years and read it to my daughter and it became her favorite book for many years. I love that I have a well-read, well-worn, well-loved first edition of such a classic.
Tiffany S On Tuesday, June 28 at 2:10 pm
Have I mentioned that I adore Word Nerd man's face? Fabulous.
Lora On Tuesday, June 28 at 2:29 pm
My child's favorite book was The Velveteen Rabbit. We must have read that every night for 3 months straight, then at least once per week for the rest of the year.
We love word games in our house. Our current favorites are Bananagrams and Scrabble Apple. We play by the rules first, then make up our own games with the letter tiles. We especially like to steal other players words, and using all the letters from their word, rearrange and add more of our own to make a better word or even two or three words. Hours of fun and vocabulary building. We are a homeschooling family, so any excuse for a learning opportunity.

I devoured books as a kid — especially after I learned to read — but the first book I remember loving was a Little Golden Book called "The Poky Little Puppy." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Poky_Little_Puppy

The Giving Tree was also one of my favorites, and I read it to both my son and daughter when they were small. I also love The Story of Ferdinand. It's about a little bull who likes to sit and smell the flowers. It is sweet and gentle, and is illustrated with simple drawings…perfection!

Thanks for the advance warning! I usually get the news about the quizzes AFTER they're over! I LOVE vocabulary. Do any of you do FreeRice? http://www.freerice.com/
It's fantastic for vocabulary and now has geography, chemistry and other subjects as well. And you're raising rice for those in need through the World Food Bank. Pretty cool! I always let my computer students get on when they finished their work.

Tina Dupuy: A politician who is against government is like an actor who is against entertainment. It's ridiculous. Because we hate politicians so much, the only way we can stand inking a bubble next to their name is to pretend they really don't want to do their job.
Trust in the GOP's Dearth of Experience
Tina Dupuy: When Republicans warn that a policy is a job-killer – Americans should listen. If any group of lawmakers and thinkers know about killing jobs it's the Grand Old Party. In 2008, the final year of the Bush Administration, after two terms of careless deregulation implemented with bastardized pseudo-free market battle cries, the economy lost 2.6 million jobs. An annual job loss not equaled since 1945. When it comes to job extermination the GOP's display case has a full assortment of trophies. So, of course Republicans are now the best authority on how not to kill jobs. Basically, don't do what they did.
Guess What? The New Deal Worked!
Since the economic crisis we're now in is being compared to the Great Depression, the solutions being offered are being routinely compared to the New Deal. Republicans in particular have been quick to pronounce the New Deal a failure as a way of justifying their opposition to the new stimulus package and any other federal […]
The GOP Floats Out To Sea, Alone on a Shrinking Iceberg
There isn't much point showing the Republican Party that they've lost it completely and are floating out to sea, alone and abandoned on a shrinking iceberg like an aged bull walrus driven from the herd. After all, new party chairman Michael Steele doesn't know that when you work, you have a job and vice versa, […]

Those mags focus a lot on bridal wear and offer inspiration in terms of what outfits to go for. It's a huge market.

When President Obama spoke in the aftermath of his victory at the Supreme Court, he never mentioned the word "tax." The ruling that saved his signature health care legislation made it clear his pledge the bill was not a tax was a clear deception. But while not acknowledging that the Affordable Care Act was passed by means of a political subterfuge, he did expressly ask Americans not to "refight the political battles of two years ago." That was not so much a plea that the debate about the bill not be revisited but a worry that what will ensue will be a rematch of the 2010 midterm elections which were fought largely on the question of ObamaCare. While the president has every reason to exult today, the biggest question about his re-election effort now becomes whether he can indeed avoid a replay of a contest that ended in a rout of the Democrats.
Though the president is the clear winner today, the Court did hand Republicans an issue on which they can put Democrats at a disadvantage. The ruling established that ObamaCare constitutes a massive across-the-board tax increase that will come down hardest on the middle class, a group of voters who the president insists are exempt from his efforts to hike levies on the rich. But GOP optimists need to understand that presidential elections are very different animals from midterms. Although the Court may have helped revive the Tea Party, circumstances have changed since their heyday in 2010. Nevertheless, the stage has been set for the rematch that the president dreads.
For now, that places the onus on Mitt Romney. The Republican presidential candidate has spent the last two months more or less on cruise control as he allowed the dreadful economic situation, poor jobs reports and a series of administration scandals (the cyber warfare leaks and Fast and Furious) to damage the White House without much effort on his part.
But the Supreme Court's decision now makes it incumbent on Romney to do more than just let Obama lose the election on his own. If he is to replicate the grass roots revolution that created the 2010 landslide, he needs to start acting less like the C.E.O. of the GOP but as the leader of a movement intent on halting a historic power grab by the federal government.
Given his own spotty record on health care issues, it is an understatement to say this is not exactly in his wheelhouse. And while the Democrats' recent sallies on his record at Bain Capital are distortions, they have scored some points in making him appear as an out-of-touch plutocrat.
Nevertheless, Romney still has the ability to tap into the fact that most Americans didn't want ObamaCare and are sure to be dismayed by the Court's decision. Just as a Court ruling against the bill would have allowed the president to campaign on a platform of expanding health care, the White House victory sets the stage for a Republican groundswell that can tap into widespread dissatisfaction with the tax increase the president has imposed on all Americans. That means President Obama will, almost by definition, be put on the defensive on the two most important issues facing the electorate: the economy and the ObamaCare tax increase.
Though he may be confident about his ability to go toe-to-toe with Romney, the Democrats were swamped two years ago by disgust with his spending and tax policies. Though the terms of the fight may be a bit more advantageous for the president, a rematch of 2010 is exactly what he is going to get.

Crysis stops responding after patch 1.2
The other day i finally settled my overclock as in sig and i thought about giving crysis a try.
So i installed the game and configured resolution, key map, etc. I didn't really start to play.
Then i realized that there were a few patches for the game. I downloaded 1.1, installed it and then run the game, i checked that everything in the game configuration was not changed. Then i quit the game without playing again and got the 1.2 patch. I installed it and as soon as the game started loading i got loading i got an error "Crysis stopped responding..." so i closed the window.
Now, no matter what i do (changed drivers, etc) the game is always doing the same, i can't play the damm thing!!
I'm using Vista Ultimate x64 with the latest nforce (15.23 whql) and geforce (181.22 whql) and every other game runs fine...
Any help???
Re: Crysis stops responding after patch 1.2
This is one week too late but..
There's a hotfix patch, 1.2.1, try it if you havent done so
Re: Crysis stops responding after patch 1.2
Mine crashes as well after loading a new game in 64 bit DX9 mode. Help!
Re: Crysis stops responding after patch 1.2
Are you attempting to load a previously saved game?
If you started and saved while in DX10 mode, attempting to load in DX9 (or vice versa) has caused crashes for me before. Restarting the game from the beginning fixed it.
Also it is possible that if you're trying to load a game you started before installing the patch, that could cause it too.

TAA Works—Just Ask Michael Smith
Michael Smith worked for 13 years as a crane operator at Bethlehem Steel's Sparrows Point, Md., plant. But in 2012 the plant—then owned by R.G. Steel—was forced to shut its doors after a series of flawed trade deals and U.S. policy decisions allowed cheap, subsidized foreign steel to flood the market. Smith was among 2,500 United Steelworkers members who lost their jobs.

At least 3 injured in Monday morning accident
Feb. 19, 2013 @ 12:50 AM
BARBOURSVILLE -- At least three people were transported to a local hospital following two accidents along Interstate 64 in Barboursville.
According to Cabell County 911, the initial accident occurred about 9:20 a.m. between a car and a tanker truck at the 17-mile marker in the eastbound lanes. A second, two-vehicle accident took place as traffic backed up on the interstate.
Three squads transported patients, but dispatchers weren't sure if there more than three people taken to the hospital.
The eastbound lanes were closed for about an hour.

In a response to growing complaints about poor cable service and high rates, Congress passed the 1992 Cable Act, which intended to curb cable rates that were excessively increasing and far outpacing inflation. The Act also included the right for local television broadcasters to negotiate with cable in a free market for use of their signals (known as retransmission consent).

Wireless companies and others claim that current amounts of spectrum allocated for high speed wireless
Internet service are not sufficient to meet the expected increase in consumer demand over the
next few years, and have urged the federal government to reallocate spectrum for future wireless
broadband use. When the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) staff released its National Broadband Plan, it reflected these arguments, calling for the reallocation of spectrum, including airwaves currently used by local television broadcasters.

The Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act (STELA) enables satellite carriers to retransmit the signals of distant television network stations and superstations to satellite dish owners for their private home viewing. This Act is set to expire at the end of the year. If Congress determines that reauthorization is necessary, the extension should not be a vehicle to reopen well-established copyright and retransmission consent provisions that are outside the scope of this Act. Specifically, the reauthorization of this legislation should not serve as a backdoor mechanism to harm broadcasters' ability to provide viewers with unique, locally-focused service.

Advertising revenue is critical to local TV and radio stations that rely on those dollars to serve local communities with vital news and information and high quality entertainment. As Congress considers initiatives that impact advertising, including restrictions on food marketing and a moratorium on television commercials for new medicines, it should avoid legislation that threatens free speech and increases federal agencies' authority to excessively restrict advertising on which local stations rely.

Virtually all states provide, either by statute or by judicial decision, protections to journalists so that they are not forced to reveal the identity of confidential sources. In federal courts, however, there is no uniform set of standards to govern when information about confidential sources can be sought from reporters. Broadcast journalists' ability to bring important matters to the American public has been put in jeopardy as numerous reporters have been questioned about their confidential sources or had their records subpoenaed in cases before federal courts.
Learn More »
Local radio and television stations believe localism is best sustained by permitting broadcasters to compete effectively in the digital multichannel marketplace. Allowing stations to compete in the marketplace by reforming unnecessary restrictions would help them maintain economic vibrancy and the ability to serve their local communities in an ever-changing and competitive media landscape. Out-of-date restrictions on ownership of broadcast outlets that do not reflect current competitive realities in the digital age should be modernized.

Recipe by KC
"Kids love this buffet-ready casserole dish. My mother-in-law used to make a simpler version of this for my husband when he was growing up. This version pushes the flavor profile a bit. I prefer to have this dish sit overnight before baking as the flavors improve and the pasta absorbs some of the sauce so the consistency is just right."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

8 ounces
rotini pasta
1 pound
ground beef
1/2 pound
bulk mild Italian sausage
3/4 cup
chopped onion
1/4 cup
chopped celery
1 clove
garlic, minced
1 tablespoon
minced green bell pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 (14.4 ounce) can
diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can
tomato sauce
2 cups
shredded Italian cheese blend
1 1/2 cups
shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
I substituted a can of stewed tomatoes (undrained) for the can of sauce because it was what I had onhand and because it had onions, celery, and peppers in it! A great shortcut for those of us with no time to chop veggies. I used all ground beef and monterey jack/cheddar because that's what I had. Came out great! Chunky, cheesy, and delicious.
This was a good casserole. It was pretty basic and easy to make. It just lacked flavor. With a little work on the sauce the dish could easily be excellent. After you brown the meat and saute the onion, veggies, and garlic, I recommend doing a wine reduction with a basic merlot (one that you can actually drink). Reduce the wine on med-high heat until it you have half of what you started with (I usually start with 1 - 1/2 cups). Then add 1 large can of tomato sauce. A generous sprinkle of basil, parsley, and italian seasoning. Then add your meat and veggies back to the sauce. Let simmer about 5 minutes. Then top to over your cheese in your casserole dish and bake. I would like to add that this casserole would be really good with eggplant, zuccini, carrots, squash, etc. You really could add any combination of vegetable(s) and it would be delicious. Next time I will definately keep the celery but I am going to add shredded zuccini and eggplant. I will cut out the diced tomatoes and double the tomato sauce; only because my kids didn't care for the tomatoes chunks.

This was very easy to make and very tasty. I used whole wheat rotini pasta and diced tomatos with italian seasonings. This recipe also freezes well and the leftovers are ever so tasty!
This is a great recipe--just delicious. Anyone I serve it to likes it a lot. I use the Hunt's tomatoes that have celery, green pepper, onions, and garlic, and omit the celery and green pepper. I still use the onion and garlic called for in the recipe.
I thought this was o.k. It's a good base but next time would add more garlic and some Italian seasoning. A bit more sauce wouldn't hurt either and maybe a pinch of crushed red pepper. Found it a bit bland as is. May also use mozzarella instead of cheddar.
Just made this last night-really yummy! I made a few changes to sauce-used only tomato sauce, no diced tomatoes. Also, I added 2T Worcestershire Sauce, 1 tsp Basil, 1 tsp Oregano, 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic salt, and 1 T packed brown sugar to the sauce for some more flavor. For cheese, I couldn't find Mexican blend, so used a Colby/Monterey Jack blend which worked great. I stuck with the sharp cheddar on top. My 13 year old who never eats tomato sauce cleaned his plate!
This was absolutely wonderful! would not change a thing. I served this for visiting family (2 adults and three children) and it went over very well. Everyone had at least two helpings and the leftovers were all gone by the next day.
Great old fashioned hearty meal recipe...good for kids...they'll love it.

Larry Fitzgerald, Jr. plays for the Arizona Cardinals as a wide receiver, but he started his football career here in Minnesota where he was born and raised.
To give back he's put on football camps and spoken to youth groups, but this time, his father, Larry Fitzgerald, Sr. says his son is surely looking out for others.
"Helmets that fit. That's so important because some have helmets a little to big and when you are playing a contact sport, it's got to be right," Fitzgerald Sr. Said.
Well, Fitzgerald Jr. and Riddell helmets are doing just that, they have teamed up to donate a 1,000 helmets to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board's football programs.
The city operates 49 year-round, neighborhood-based Recreation Centers. 37 of which have football teams. This year the league has 900 kids playing.
"They don't have to come play with uniforms, pads or helmets or anything. We equip every kid that wants to play," MiMi Kalb of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation said.
Kalb says, at the end of every season all their helmets are inspected. The helmets will either be overhauled or thrown out.
Concussions are a big concern.
"We do have mandatory concussion training for all of our full time staff. Our coaches have to go through as part of their certification program, they can't coach until they do it, and our officials that are on the field," Kalb said.
Kalb says, the donation will help her budget. But most of all it will provide kids a safe way to enjoy the game of football.
So far a date has not been set for delivery of the helmets.

Chase After a Cure presented Dr. Jacqueline Kraveka at the Medical University of South Carolina Children's Hospital with its annual donation. This year's donation was $150,000. Representatives from the Medical University of South Carolina and supporters and volunteers with Chase After a Cure gathered to celebrate the donation that will support pediatric cancer research at MUSC, specifically Dr. Kraveka's work on finding new and better treatments for neuroblastoma, which has one of the lowest survival rates. Dr. Kraveka's research laboratory, housed in the Darby Children's Research Institute, is the only laboratory in the state of South Carolina dedicated to translational pediatric cancer research.
Chase After a Cure was started in 2009 by Summerville resident Whitney Ringler and her family after her son, Chase, was given a 30 percent chance of survival after being diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma. Chase survived this aggressive form of cancer. Chase After a Cure supports families of childhood cancer patients, raises awareness about childhood cancer, specifically neuroblastoma, and funds childhood cancer research at the Medical University of South Carolina Children's Hospital.
