A broken collarbone is a common injury, particularly in children and young adults. Your collarbone connects the upper part of your breastbone to your shoulder blade. Common causes of a broken collarbone include falls, sports injuries and trauma from traffic accidents. Infants can sometimes experience a broken collarbone during the birth process.
If you think you or your child has a broken collarbone, seek prompt medical attention. Most broken collarbones heal well with ice, pain relievers, a sling, physical therapy and time. But a complicated broken collarbone may require surgery to realign the broken bone and to implant plates, screws or rods into the bone to maintain proper alignment during healing.
Signs and symptoms of a broken collarbone include:
If you notice any of the signs or symptoms of a broken collarbone, or if you have enough pain in your shoulder that you can't use it normally, see a doctor right away. Do the same for your child. Delays in diagnosis and treatment of a broken collarbone can lead to poor healing.
Common causes of a broken collarbone include:
Your collarbone doesn't harden completely until about age 20. This puts children and teenagers at higher risk of a broken collarbone. The risk decreases after age 20, but then rises again in older people as bone strength decreases with age.
Most broken collarbones heal without difficulty. But complications may include:
Depending on the severity of the break, your family doctor or the emergency room physician may recommend that you or your child be examined by an orthopedic surgeon.
It may be helpful to write a list that includes:
Your doctor will likely ask some of the following questions:
During the physical exam, your doctor will inspect the affected area for tenderness, swelling, deformity or an open wound. X-rays are taken to determine the extent of a broken collarbone, pinpoint its exact location and determine if there's injury to the joints. Occasionally, your doctor may also recommend a computerized tomography (CT) scan to obtain more-detailed images.
Restricting the movement of any broken bone is critical to healing. To immobilize a broken collarbone, you'll likely need to wear an arm sling.
The length of time immobilization is needed depends on the severity of the injury. Union of the bone usually takes three to six weeks for children and six to 12 weeks for adults. If a baby has suffered a broken collarbone during labor and delivery, healing typically occurs without specific treatment. Pain control and careful handling of the baby are usually all that's needed.
To reduce pain and inflammation, your doctor may recommend an over-the-counter pain reliever. If you have severe pain, you may need a prescription medication that contains a narcotic for a few days.
Rehabilitation begins soon after initial treatment. In most cases, it's important to begin some motion to minimize stiffness in your shoulder while you're still wearing your sling. After your sling is removed, your doctor may recommend additional rehabilitation exercises or physical therapy to restore muscle strength, joint motion and flexibility.
Surgery may be required for a fractured collarbone if the bone has broken through your skin, if it is severely out of place or if the bone has broken into several pieces. Broken collarbone surgery usually includes placing fixation devices — plates, screws or rods — to maintain proper position of your bone during healing. Surgical complications are rare, but can include infection and lack of bone healing.
Applying ice to the affected area during the first two to three days after a collarbone break can help control pain and swelling.

Each year 24/7 Wall St. publishes the results of its survey of all 50 states and then ranks them from top to bottom — from "best run" to "worst run." CNBC does the same, only with a more concentrated focus on the business environment in each state, and then ranks the states on their overall "measure of competitiveness." The Mercatus Center at George Mason University looks at all 50 states from the perspective of individual freedom and then ranks the states based on its Index of Personal and Economic Freedom.
The parallels and correlations between economic and business performance and personal freedom are clear and persuasive: When state governments stay within their limits of protecting lives and enforcing contracts, the states thrive. And vice versa. North Dakota and California are examples sufficient to prove the point.
Admittedly, says 24/7 Wall St.,
the successful management of a state is difficult to measure. Factors that affect its finances and population may be the result of decisions made years ago. A state's difficulties can be caused by poor governance or by external factors, such as extreme weather.
That's a nice way of saying that each state is different in its natural resources and may suffer, or thrive, depending on how they are allowed to be developed and utilized. It also means that a state may suffer, or thrive, on the basis of past errors or simple stupidity imposed on its citizens by politicians long passed into history.
Nevertheless, the effort is worth the candle:
It is the responsibility of each state to deal with the resources at its disposal.…
A state should be able to raise enough revenue to ensure the safety of its citizens and minimize hardship without spending more than it can prudently afford. Some states have historically done this much better than others.…
The best-run states have certain characteristics in common, as do the worst-run. The high-ranking states all have well-managed budgets. Each of the top ten has a perfect, or near-perfect, credit rating from Standard & Poor's, Moody's, or both. Of the ten worst-ranked, only three received top scores from one agency, and none from both.
North Dakota, for the first time, ranks at the top of 24/7 Wall St.'s study, mostly due to the state government's hands-off approach to the development of its Bakken shale formation by private interests:

Recap: Carlos Beltran talked to reporters about Mets, Cards
Earlier today, Cardinals OF Carlos Beltran talked to reporters after arriving in St. Lucie to play the Mets.
"Personally, it was a lot of ups and downs, personally," Beltran said of his time with the Mets, according to MetsBlog's Amit Badlani. "We had good teams, but we weren't able to get to the next level and win a Championship," he explained.
He says the Mets are 'going young,' and, "it will take time." However, he doesn't discount the Mets as competitors in 2012 because, "In this game, you never know."
In regards to the Mets, he says Lucas Duda has the talent to be a 'great player,' and he will continue to get better by playing every day.
Beltran said his former Giants teammate, Andres Torres, called him to get feedback about playing in New York. He told him it is different than San Francisco, specifically in dealing with media.
In the end, though he enjoyed getting to meet and play with the people he did in New York, where he feels he had the best years of his career so far, Beltran said he is happy to be with the Cardinals.
"I think they're going in a different direction," Beltran said of the Mets, in an exclusive talk with FoxSports.com. "You have to be a little frustrated for the fans, knowing probably the team isn't going to be what the fans really want to see out there. But at the end of the day, they have prospects, players who are going to be good one day. But when that day's going to be, only God knows."
For more from Beltran, including his thoughts on the current roster, David Wright, and whether or not he intends to pay Jon Niese's bill for his nose job today, click here.

Armed with a camera since 16, my photographic career has spanned many subjects. Photography is beyond a job for me: it's a passion. Actually, until early 2012, it was a full time passion and a part time job; I've shot commercial assignments on and off for the last eight years, but went full time just recently. I'm a physicist by training – I graduated from Oxford at 16 – and subsequently left a senior corporate career in M&A/ private equity (and more recently, as a senior exec director of McDonalds) because it simply wasn't what I wanted to do, and so far, have been lucky enough not to regret it.
This of course means it's very important to photograph the things you're passionate about in their own right. Every photographer aims to find a unique look to their images in order to create a signature look for their clients. I take inspiration from many sources – classical photojournalism, abstract art, motion picture and film – to deliver a unique look and style for my clients. Natural color and dynamic lighting create a strong positive emotion in the viewer, which in turn makes the subject of the photograph – your product or service – memorable. I work on location with both available light and controlled lighting, depending on the needs of the client and subject.
I am a commercial photographer specialising in product photography on location and corporate reportage. Lately, I've also served as creative consultant and director to ensure a consistent visual look and feel across all aspects of a campaign, including video/ commercials, printed materials and exhibitions – right down to lighting design. It's no longer just about the visuals: it's about the experience and the emotion, too.
I have a diverse international client base including Nissan, Jaeger Le-Coultre, Van Cleef & Arpels, Maitres du Temps, Richemont, the Swatch Group, Hijjas Kasturi Architects, Tange Associates Architects, Sunway Group, Maybank, Eastern & Oriental, The Boston Consulting Group, several Michelin star chefs including Fergus Henderson and Bruno Menard, The City of London and Moon Travel Guides. I also maintain an extensive library of over 250,000 high-resolution images available to license, both directly and via Getty Images. For 5 years, I was Contributing Editor to CLICK! Magazine, Malaysia and Editor for 2010. I am also a Nikon Professional Services member in the UK.
Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss a project, request a quote, or a specific portfolio of images. In addition, limited edition fine art prints are available from time to time directly via this site.

ADAMS The villages lengthy search for a new, consistent source of water will carry on after the results of a new site test proved inconclusive.
The new data, revealed at a Board of Trustees meeting Monday night, focused primarily on a set of three temporary wells on village property off Route 11 near O.D. Greene Lumber.
Though the third of the three wells generated 180 gallons per minute, the highest amount that could be pumped with the temporary system, initial sampling indicated surface water contamination that if confirmed would require filtration costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
More treatment means more dollar signs, said Dustin J. Clark, an engineer from Barton & Loguidice, Syracuse, who presented the data.
The other two wells had a lesser water flow recorded, with one of them also showing signs of contamination. However, Mr. Clark said the water sampling tests were not definitive and could change with further research.
With the village needing a new supply of 400 gallons of water per minute, Mr. Clark said it may not find a single white buffalo supply source to match that need, and may instead need to pull from multiple sources.
The board agreed the next step would be to pump a temporary well on its Countryview site, off East Church Street, which would provide more data.
Thats the reason why were here, Mr. Clark said. Lets get the guesswork out of it so it can be as close as it can be.
Mr. Clark said the village would need to look into seeking new financing to pay for extended research.
Without enough members Monday for a quorum, the board will meet at 6 p.m. Monday to revisit and vote on moving forward with the search. The village will also file a consolidated funding application through the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority.
Mayor Patricia C. Sweetland said after the meeting the timing of the search meant nothing would be in place this year, and another water conservation period was likely.
Its an ongoing project, Ms. Sweetland said of the water search. Its not ever going to be finished.
Also in attendance were Deputy Mayor Nancy C. Murphy, Trustee Christopher J. Singleton, village Department of Public Works Superintendent Ricky J. Bisig and town of Adams Supervisor David W. Kellogg.
The meeting about the villages long-term water prospects also required discussion about short-term fixes.
At the meetings start, Mr. Bisig said the pumps at the Countryview sites already operational well failed over the weekend, and the cost estimate for the repairs ranged from $8,000 to $10,000. Money to pay for the repairs will come out of the villages water repair reserve fund.

PCC uses Placement Testing to determine students' academic skill level for appropriate course placement. Most new PCC students are required to take the Placement Test to determine their skills in reading, writing and mathematics. The ESOL Placement Test is also offered for students requiring English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) courses.
Placement test scores can demonstrate satisfaction of prerequisite, or required skill levels for enrollment in many PCC courses. PCC uses the computer-based COMPASS Placement Test and testing is offered at all of our Campuses and some of our Centers (see Testing Dates).
Placement Testing is one of the first steps to enrolling in classes at PCC. Make sure to prepare for your placement test. Your test scores determine appropriate placement in PCC courses.
Check out the new student checklist to learn about all of the steps required to become a PCC student.
Studying for the placement test may help improve your placement result, which means an opportunity to complete your degree more quickly and affordably. Learn more about preparing for placement tests at http://www.pcc.edu/resources/testing/placement/preparing.html.
Placement Testing Highlights
- Free of charge for admitted PCC students
- Untimed and takes an average of 1½ to 2 hours to complete
- Each test (reading, writing and math) may be taken twice in a three year period
- Math placement test scores are valid for 3 years, while reading and writing scores do not expire – check with Testing Center staff if you have previously taken the placement test
- Knowledge of computers is not necessary to take the test
What to Expect When You Take the Placement Test
- Valid photo identification is required for all testing
- PCC identification number or "G" number is required
- Testing is done on a drop-in basis within the scheduled testing periods
- If you do not finish testing prior to the end of a testing session you may return at another time to finish
- Calculators, pencils and scratch paper will be provided
- No children are allowed in Testing Centers
- PCC parking passes are required at all sites
- Individuals not intending to take classes at PCC will be charged $15 to take the Placement Test – payable at any PCC Student Account Services prior to testing. Student Account Services is not open during evenings or weekends.
Placement Testing for English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
If English is not your first language and you may need preparatory ESOL courses you should take the ESOL Placement Test. For more information about ESOL testing and course placement see the ESOL Testing and Placement Guide.
Placement Test Scores from Outside of PCC
PCC can accept College Placement Test scores from other institutions if the tests are one of the following:
- Accuplacer
PCC will also accept some ACT or SAT test scores that are within two years old.
Bring your official test score copies and valid picture identification to a Testing Center for evaluation.
Placement Testing for Distance Education Students
PCC students who are unable to access the PCC Testing Centers due to their distance from the college can arrange to take a College Placement Test at an alternative site and have their test scores sent to PCC. Other community colleges will often provide this service, generally for a fee. Contact any of the PCC Testing Centers for assistance in locating an ACT (COMPASS) or other testing site and for directions on how to submit test scores.
Accommodations and Disability Services
If you have a disability and require testing accommodations beyond extended time (test is untimed), contact Disability Services to make arrangements for accommodations

Square Enix Holdings: ¥21,680,000 (US$272,988)
Sony: ¥9,230,000 ($116,189)
Nintendo: ¥9,140,000 ($115,032)
Sega Sammy: ¥8,220,000 ($103,486)
Konami: ¥6,780,000 ($85,371)
Namco Bandai: ¥6,400,000 ($80,577)
Tecmo Koei: ¥6,150,000 ($77,418)
Capcom: ¥5,710,000 ($71,891)
A couple things to keep in mind: The strong yen makes the salaries appear much larger in US dollars. Also, this doesn't necessarily mean your typical Square Enix employee is earning $200k. Rather, it probably means there is a layer of upper and mid-management with very high salaries.
As reader Brady pointed out, Square Enix is divided into development and its holding company. So Square Enix Holdings has only 18 employees—meaning that these are not game developers slaving away on new titles, but rather, people in management. It's odd that Nensyu Labo would include them with "regular" game companies as it skews the rankings.
The ranking also showed which game developers brought up the rear of the pack—namely folks like Nippon Ichi Software (3,700,000 or $46,512) and Tose (¥3,500,000 or $43,995). Give those people raises!

Yesterday afternoon, the Lenoir Police Department responded to a fatal head on collision. Jack White of Lenoir was traveling northbound on Hickory Blvd and crossed the median into the southbound lanes where his 1994 Plymouth van collided with a southbound 1994 Chevrolet Blazer.
The Blazer was operated by Donald Roper of Lenoir and a passenger, Howard Roper. Donald Roper and Howard Roper were taken by EMS to Caldwell Memorial Hospital where Howard Roper was pronounced dead due to the injuries he sustained in the crash. Jack White was also taken to CMH but sustained minor injuries in the crash. At the hospital officers learned that White had consumed alcohol prior to the crash. Upon his release from the hospital, White was arrested and charged with DWI and Felony Death by Vehicle. White was confined at the Caldwell County Detention Center and under a $30,000.00 secured bond. Investigation into the case will continue with the possibility of further charges.

The premiere Nathan East signature model.
As the world's largest instrument manufacturer, Yamaha is a name that's synonymous with music. Cutting their teeth as a piano and reed organ builder in 1887, Yamaha has evolved to make a huge variety of instruments, including guitars since 1942. Today, they're best known for their electronics, and they take full advantage of that high-tech expertise in their bass designs. With a few exceptions, every Yamaha bass comes with their own pickups and electronics onboard -- which is a good thing, since their creations can keep pace with even boutique pickup brands. If you're looking for your first bass or a casual instrument for recreational jamming, some of the first Yamaha basses on your radar will be the RBX series. Consisting mostly of 4-string models as well as the 5-string RBX375, this lineup is designed for playability first and foremost. For the professional bassist in search of an every-day instrument that's ready to take on the road, it's hard to beat Yamaha's TRBX basses. These intermediate to entry-level performance instruments are a bit more stage-oriented than the RBX, but they're every bit as accessible.
Naturally, if you want the best of the best, Yamaha is ready to accommodate that as well. Check out the BB series for a seriously professional-level bass: the BB2024X for 4-string players or the BB2025X to rock 5 strings. These basses use specialty open-face, ceramic magnet pickups custom-built for the BB series to deliver incredibly powerful volume and tone without giving up an ounce of clarity. Feeling like a true rock legend? You might want to take a look at Yamaha's signature model bass guitars, like the Attitude 3 model which has helped Billy Sheehan earn the title "Best Rock Bass Player" from Guitar Player Magazine readers five times over. Or give Nathan East's BBNE2 bass a try; its Alnico V-stack pickups make it one of the only Yamaha basses fitted with third-party coils.
You don't have to be a bass guitarist to take advantage of Yamaha's excellent electronic instrument design. If you play the upright double bass, then you'll find plenty to appeal to you in the Yamaha Silent Electric Upright Bass. This 3/4-scale instrument feels like an acoustic bass so you can play it naturally, but without a large body it's far easier to transport. The piezo pickups under the bridge deliver great tone whether you play pizzicato or bowed, and the ability to plug in your headphones and play in silence makes this bass the perfect practice instrument.
Yamaha has its great reputation for a reason. No matter which instruments are the best fit for your style and needs, you can count on Yamaha's long history to come through in the sound and build quality of every bass and guitar they produce. Whatever you want to play, these basses are ready to take it on.

COLTON - The campsites at Higley Flow State Park silently await spring under a blanket of snow.
The weather may be chilly and the snow deep, but work on the Higley Trails Lodge, located just off the winter parking lot has heated up. The lodge, which will serve as a four season multi-purpose building, will feature a great room, office, and restrooms.
It will provide a location for school classes to be held in conjunction with outdoor activities, a place to present programs and youth activities during the summer camping season, and during the winter months, a place for skiers and snowshoers to warm up, shed or add layers and socialize.
Funding for part of the project is being provided by a grant secured by The Friends of Higley Flow State Park and through donations they have received toward the project. That investment in materials is being met by in kind labor supplied by the Thousand Islands State Parks.
Good progress is being made on the building.
In addition to the construction project now in full swing, the trails are busy with skiers and snowshoers enjoying the recent snow falls. The trails are groomed and maintained by volunteers from the Friends group and by St. Lawrence University.
The uiniversity purchased a state of the art groomer this fall, which complements the Tidd Tech groomer purchased through a grant by the town of Colton. Clarkson University also contributed to the groomer purchase.
The end result for skiers is a 13.5 mile groomed and trackset trail system available for winter enjoyment at no charge. The park provides ideal terrain and a picturesque setting for the trails. Over the years this gem of the north country has quietly grown to be a local favorite, now drawing skiers from adjoining states and provinces. The trails were featured in a nationally circulated magazine: Cross Country Skier.
The Colton Winterfest, Jan. 25 to 27, has two events scheduled for the parks trails.
On January 26th, from 10:00A.M.-2:00P.M.
The Friends of HFSP will sponsor a family day at the park with light refreshments being provided from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 26. Skiers and snowshoers are invited to come out, enjoy the trails and refreshments.
The popular Higley Hustle Ski Festival will be held Jan. 27 at the park with registration beginning 1 1/2 hours before each of the following races:
10 a.m.: 5 & 10k classic technique,
Noon: Bill Koch classic race for anyone 14 and under. Distances vary by age; 2.5k maximum.
1 p.m.: 2.5 and 5k skate (freestyle) races. Awards are given to the first 3 places in each age and gender category. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone new to racing to try it out.

The prospect of a new reservoir to replace the aging and problem-ridden Grassy Trail Reservoir may no longer be in the works as plans for a new reservoir have been called off by the mining company behind the project.
According to sources, UtahAmerican Energy Inc., the company behind the push to relocate Grassy Trail Reservoir, have backed away from the project and are no longer focusing on building a new reservoir.
At the East Carbon City Council meeting last week, Jeremy Humes, East Carbon city attorney, informed the council that the mining company was terminating the reservoir relocation project. Humes said the city had been negotiating in good faith with the mine throughout the length of the project, including to the day of hearing about the project being called off. Humes also said West Ridge Resources, Inc., a subsidiary of UtahAmerican, may have known about canceling the project for awhile but they broke the news to all of the entities involved last Tuesday.
"It really hits you in the head hard," Councilman Darrell Valdez said of hearing the information about the project being terminated.
The news puts the city of East Carbon in a difficult position, Humes said. Along with the termination of the project, Humes said West Ridge will not cover the costs of bills incurred by the city for the project above a predetermined amount. The mine agreed in the original agreement to pay $75,000 to help the city cover the costs of having specialists hired to work on the project. Currently the city has gone over that amount by about $10,000, according to Humes.
Experts hired by the city to work on the project can no longer participate in any meetings because the city does not have the financial resources to pay them, Humes said.
At the city council meeting, councilors asked Humes if there was an explanation for the mine terminating the project. Humes said West Ridge Mine did not immediately give an explanation for the project being canceled, but he was certain the company would provide a formal statement concerning their actions.
On Monday, Rob Murray, a Vice President of Business Development and External Affairs with Murray Energy Corporation, released a statement regarding the reason why West Ridge Mine has terminated its pre-development agreement for the relocation of storage capacity of Grassy Trail Reservoir with the cities of East Carbon and Sunnyside.
"The reason for the termination is that the West Ridge Mine has encountered unexpected and unforeseeable geologic conditions - specifically a significant shale parting and coal seam split within the Lower Sunnyside Coal Seam - as the Mine has progressed to the east towards Grassy Trail Reservoir. Inspections conducted by our geologists and consultants have determined that that the mine-ability of the coal in this area is not possible," the statement read.
The statement concluded, "As a result, consideration of future mining of the Lower Sunnyside Seam in the vicinity of the Grassy Trail Reservoir has been terminated. The West Ridge Mine will continue uninterrupted mining of the rest of its coal reserves."
Orlando LaFontaine, East Carbon City mayor, said he first heard of the mine calling off the project on Tuesday. Like others on the city council, he said he was frustrated at all of the work that has been done on the project up to this point only to see things fall through. LaFontaine said both East Carbon City and Sunnyside City just signed water agreements with Sunnyside Co-Generation just a week prior to the reservoir relocation project being called off.
LaFontaine also said he was getting memos from West Ridge Mine about the development stages of the project right up to last Tuesday, when the news broke about the work on a new reservoir being stopped.
"I'm a little disappointed about this," LaFontaine said in a telephone interview on Friday. "It feels like we've been railroaded with this news of the project being terminated."
The relocation project would not only have included the building of a new reservoir but the impact of the project could also have extended the life of West Ridge Mine by 18 months to two years. Because the mining company did not find the coal they were searching for, the West Ridge Mine will still have about two years of mining left.
Currently Grassy Trail Reservoir has about 800 acre feet of capacity. Plans for the new reservoir would have seen the capacity increased to about 1,000 acre feet.
East Carbon City council members were in agreement that a new reservoir is still needed for the area. Studies on Grassy Trail have shown water has been leaking from the reservoir and high amounts of silt have been reported.
"There are a lot of issues with the current reservoir," said Councilman Andy Urbanik. "A new reservoir may be a solution to the problems facing our current reservoir."
Urbanik said the city may need to proceed working on building a new reservoir themselves and possibly in conjunction with Sunnyside City. Council members discussed options including approaching the state to see if they could help with building a new reservoir, getting funding from the Community Impact Board and others.
With the project being terminated, there are still many questions left for both East Carbon City and Sunnyside City to answer. Specifically, questions about the operating agreement, who will be responsible for covering the costs over the agreed limit of $75,000 incurred for bringing in specialists to work on the project and other questions will still need to be discussed and answered.
LaFontaine said he is looking into meeting with representatives of the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (DOGM) within the week to figure out what the city can do with the project at this point.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KSDK) - Now that a fiscal cliff deal has been reached, what does it mean for you?
Financial expert Douglas J. Kiffmeyer, president and co-founder of Kiffmeyer Tax Advisory Group, says we'll all see more taxes taken out of our paychecks, just not as much as when the deal was in limbo. He recommends changing your withholdings so you don't owe money when you file taxes in 2014.
Kiffmeyer says Medicare expenses will go up for as many as 20 million people. At the same time unemployment benefits will be extended.
And some popular tax deductions will change. For example, charitable donation write-offs will be capped at 28%, down from the previous 35%.
"It's going to be a lose-lose from all directions," said Kiffmeyer. "I mean, the charitable donations from the 501C3s are going to go down considerably and the tax benefits are going to go away, or at least decrease substantially from where they were."
Kiffmeyer recommends sitting down with your tax professional to make sure you're prepared for all the changes.

The Beat Goes On
Tucked away in his Sunday Notes, Rich Cimini had a couple of interesting tidbits regarding Rex Ryan's involvement and Woody Johnson's approach to the search for a new general manager that will maybe help dispel some beliefs that have been floated around the Interwebs.
Johnson, Hughes and team president Neil Glat are conducting the GM interviews. Ryan hasn't been present, I'm told, although he's expected to participate once it gets close to the end game. From what I hear, Johnson has appeared humble in the interviews, basically asking each candidate, "How can you help us?" At least he recognizes there's a problem; it's the first step to recovery.
Eric Weeks, TheJetsBlog.com
Woody stated in the season-ending presser that Rex would have a hand in the search but, never revealed how large of a role it would be. With Rex coming in at the tail-end of the process, he and the potential candidates can get a feel for each other and their ideas which is smart especially if you have to work with each other for at least a year. Ryan will certainly have some influence but ultimately, the final decision will rest with Johnson and Rex will not be there to put Johnson, or the candidates for that matter, in the sharpshooter.
Another revealing point in all of this is about Johnson. Contrary to popular belief, he isn't just resting on his laurels and letting Jed Hughes drive the train but is involving himself in the search and asking important questions. He may be called a lot of things but, Johnson seems to determined to fix the problem … and that may come down to firing Rex if his trial year doesn't work out with the new general manager.
One last point of discussion is about who they have been interviewing. Reported interviewees have been the causation for a lot of stress this week and Twitter has been a great indicator of that. Maybe I'm the lone wolf here but they have all the right in the world to interview capologists, castoffs, "football guys" and marquee candidates until their hearts content. Why? Because in the end I will not give one iota about who they interviewed … instead I will be more concerned about what General Manager X can do to help further team. You can second guess a hire, which is an inevitable certainty once they do hire someone, but I will not fault them because they wanted to expand the playing field and look at all of their options, good, bad, and indifferent, for such an important position.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Over the past several years, the prices of gasoline have been cycling between highs and lows. Usually the pattern has indicated that consumers start to see the prices increase during the spring months, reach their peak sometime after Memorial Day and steadily decrease for the rest of the year.
Consumers saw gas prices dramatically increase earlier this year than in years prior. Analysts were predicting a national average reaching over $4.25 per gallon come Memorial Day. However, Western New Yorkers are already experiencing prices close to that mark.
The prices of crude oil have gone down significantly, after a government report showed a larger than expected increase in U.S. crude supplies. However, even though the price of oil has dropped, that does not suggest an instant change in gasoline prices.
"76% of the cost is crude oil, so when it does go down it should help, but the problem is it's not an instant change. So even though the price of oil is going down, it doesn't necessarily mean the cost at the pump is going down," said Steve Pacer, Public Affairs Specialist at AAA of Western New York.
Analysts are also predicting that gas prices will peak earlier this year, than previous years. Last year, the gas prices peaked in May and back in 2008 they peaked in July. With an earlier peak this year, consumers will hopefully see the prices of gasoline decrease before the busy summer months.
"The analysts we are working with are predicting the peak to happen sometime between mid April and mid May. So the hope is that by the time the driving season comes around which is Memorial Day that we'll actually see prices decreasing and that'll continue throughout the rest of the year," Pacer said.
With prices hopefully dropping earlier this year than in years past, people will be able to take those additional road trips without let the price of gasoline affect their travel plans.

Home » Lake Singkarak » ISTANO BASA PAGARUYUNG: ICON OF WEST SUMATRA
As an icon of West Sumatra, the rumah gadang , or the grand house – can be seen in many parts of the province . The Rumah gadang are large elegant houses, solid wooden structures, beautifully carved and are easily recognizable as "Minangkabau" by their sweeping roofs with pointed eaves. The Minang believe that the pointed roof is reminiscent of the legend of the water buffalo, who won for Sumatra in a fight against a large Javanese bull. On larger buildings these roofs consist of four or five tiers, with an additional peak over a porch.
The grandest and most distinctive of the rumah gadang is found at Batusangkar, on the road to Lake Singkarak. This is the Istana Basa Pagaruyung - or the Pagaruyung Palace – located at Tanjung Emas, Batusangkar in the Tanah Datar area.
The Istana Basa Pagaruyung has 5 stacked sweeping roofs, eleven sharp horns, and three storeys. It is a huge, colorful, and heavily carved palace. Completely razed in a fire on 27th February 2007, the palace has today been completely rebuilt exactly true to the original design. Lightning had hit one of the highest eaves and, further fanned by the winds, conflagration soon engulfed the entire structure, destroying the Palace including the rice barn that stood some 80 feet away.
Pagaruyung is the name of the Minangkabau kingdom that ruled the central region of Sumatra, which was the seat of a large kingdom where the Minangkabau culture flourished. Believed to be descended from the first West Sumatra raja, Adityavarman, the Javanese-Minangkabau original king, Pagaruyung was located in the heart of Tanah Datar, West Sumatra, a hundred kilometers inland from the city of Padang today, close to the picturesque Lake Singkarak.
In his book, Suma Oriental,- the World of the East,- Tome Pires,16th century Portuguese writer, described that the vast territory of Pagaruyung then, encompassed the Sumatran eastern coasts, Jambi, the western coast of Barus, Tiku, and Pariaman. It also included what are present day Indragiri, Siak, Arcat, and Kuantan. Similar accounts are derived from traditional legend , called - Tambo Minangkabau,- which describes the large size of the kingdom of the Pagaruyung territory of the time.
The Pagaruyung Kingdom built its palace on a hill named Bukit Batu Patah where stood the original palace called Istana Si Linduang Bulan, where today its aristocratic descendents still reside, protect their traditions, values, as well as historic artifacts.
Rebuilt in 1750, the Si Linduang Bulan Palace had actually been burnt down earlier in 1804 during a war, and was modestly reconstructed in 1869. Sadly, Si Linduang Bulan Palace was again burnt on August 3rd, 1961. It was not rebuilt until 1987 on the same original site.
The Istana Basa Pagaruyung was also not reconstructed before 1975 and 1976.
On December 27th, 1974, governor of West Sumatra at that time, Harun Zain, initiated the reconstruction of the once grand palace as symbol of the great Minangkabau land. He also built a replica of the Si Linduang Bulan Palace on a piece of land inherited from the kings's family.
While, the palace is named Istana Basa Pagaruyung, as a tangible heritage of the great Pagaruyung kingdom that once ruled central Sumatra and surroundings.
The palace is easily accessible from Bukittinggi, Solok, or Padang Panjang. It is located in Tanah Datar, in a district named Batusangkar. Its location on the roadside can hardly be missed since the palace is grand and a real stunner for passersby.

Big Brother car insurance is coming
Don't Waste Your Money
How would you like a 20-30 percent discount on your car insurance? Sure you would, and so would I.
But now the tougher question: To get it, are you willing to let your insurance company monitor your driving?
Progressive now offers a program called "Snapshot," that can lower your rate up to 30 percent. Allstate and State Farm have similar programs.
There's one catch with all of them: You have to let your insurer install a gadget in your car to monitor your driving.
One Driver Likes it
Kathleen Hulefeld signed up for Snapshot with her Ford Fusion.
"I liked it because it made you aware of certain patterns of your driving," she said.
She's naturally a defensive driver, but says it still took a while to get used to having Big Brother watching her.
"At first I was worried about it, my husband was not, but I was concerned about them tracking me," she said.
We Test it Out
So what is it like having your driving monitored?
Progressive sent us a Snapshot to try out in a news car for two weeks.
It installed easily into our Escape's diagnostic port.
But I soon learned any sort of hard stop triggers a warning beep. Every hard stop is recorded, and posted on Progressive's website for you to see when you log in.
Progressive spokesman Richard Hutchinson said there is no reason to worry: Your rates cannot go up if you drive too aggressively.
He says your rates will go down as much as 30 percent if Snapshot finds you:
- Drive the speed limit.
- Avoid hard stops.
- Don't drive late at night, when most accidents happen.
Hutchinson said "the majority of drivers get a discount, and the discount averages 10 percent."
But some critics in online reviews worry it could encourage drivers running red light, to avoid having a "hard stop" recorded. Progressive says that has not been a problem in its experience.
Others worry Progressive could track everywhere you go, but the company says that's not so. "It does not have GPS, so we don't know where you are, it is not tracking your location," Hutchinson insisted.
For Kathleen, a savings of close to $100 a year was worth the privacy tradeoff.
"Since we started the program a year ago," she said, "we received the discount, and on renewal received the discount again."
As for our news car, it earned no discount in two weeks, due to hard braking. But don't look at me: I'm not the only one who drives this thing.
The Bottom Line
Bottom line: These programs are strictly optional, for now and the near future. And they will not raise your rates for hard stopping and acceleration, again, at least not for now.
So if you don't want anyone monitoring any aspect of your driving, all you have to do is say "no thanks."
As always, don't waste your money.

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told a gathering of conservative activists on Monday that he plans to offer legislation preventing the purchase of F-16 fighter jets by the new Egyptian government.
Paul unexpectedly appeared at the meeting via Skype. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) was scheduled to appear alone, but after an unavoidable delay to vote on the Hurricane Sandy relief bill (Senators Lee and Paul voted against the bill's passage), Lee pulled Paul and other Republican senators in for a few comments.
In his impromptu remarks, Paul promised to thwart plans announced by the Obama administration to bypass Congress and send at least 20 Lockheed Martin F-16 fighters, as well as 200 M1A1 advanced combat tanks, to the government of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi.
The first four fighter jets are scheduled for delivery in February 2013 according to published reports.
Senator Paul, who has expressed interest in running for president in 2016, appears to be building his pro-Israel credibility in advance of the campaign. Last week, for example, at a closed-door meeting of GOP bigwigs in Charleston, South Carolina, Paul reportedly told a Christian minister that Israel would be among his highest priorities.
There is no disputing that foreign policy is on Paul's mind lately.
On February 6, Senator Paul will deliver a message to the Heritage Foundation entitled "Restoring the Founders' Vision of Foreign Policy."
In an outline of the speech provided to The New American in advance of the meeting, Paul says he plans to describe "his vision of a foreign policy that respects the plain language of our Constitution, the legal powers of Congress and the important role of a strong presidency." He will also emphasize the importance of "maintaining the strongest national defense among nations while also questioning what constitutes actual 'defense.'"
At the meeting, Senator Paul will point out the aspects of current U.S. foreign policy that betray the constitutional conservatism he espouses and then recommend the course that he believes our nation needs to follow in order to repair our international reputation and our budget.

The term "Cool Japan" first appeared in 2002, and it was a localized take on the UK's "Cool Britannia" idea of the 1990s, when the country's art and music were making splashes internationally. The idea of "Cool Japan" was centered on the country's position as a rising soft power superpower. Soft power is the culture influence countries have, while hard power is the influence from political, military, or economic power.
Sometimes Japan seems utterly oblivious to the fact that the outside world is interested in its culture—both pop and traditional. "Cool Japan" is the government realizing that and trying to make it profitable.
In the Newsweek piece, it's apparently argued that the "Cool Japan" idea—that Japan can export its pop culture—has not quite panned out as planned. Japan isn't exporting as much of its own culture, whether that be comics or cartoons, as, say, America is. The piece also asks if "the world's Japan boom" is over. This is an odd question because, as I mention below, "the world's Japan boom" that's been going on for a very long time.
The reaction online in Japan has ranged from, eh, whatever, to trashing one of the piece's authors, Dan Grunebaum.
But wait. Saying "Cool Japan" is over isn't new. Japan scholar and writer Roland Kelts said as much last year.
The real issue here is the concept of "Cool Japan" itself. The term is vague. What's cool? Who decides what's cool? Is old stuff cool? Or just new stuff? Isn't cool subjective?
The notion also seems to imply that before Cool Japan, Japan wasn't cool. It's to imply that the country was kind of dorky—that the entire country was one big middle-aged salaryman in a navy suit. It wasn't. It never was. That was the Western stereotype. Japan didn't change. The stereotype did.
Subjective or not, Japan was cool well before 2002, and it's had international soft power for a very long time—whether that's Nintendo games in the 1980s or Japanese art in the 1880s. To view Japan as an emerging soft culture power is to completely ignore the impact Japan has had on the West for many, many years.
Growing up, like so many kids in the 1980s, I played Japanese video games and watched Japanese cartoons. Ninjas (née ninja) weren't things that only existed in Japan, but in the popular imagination. And it wasn't just the kids of the 1980s who grew up with a steady diet of Japanese pop culture. The generations before were exposed to Japanese culture through martial arts, monster movies, cartoons, and samurai flicks. The world did take notice.
(Obviously, Japan's culture influence was muted during World War II. However, in the early 20th and late 19th centuries, Japanese art and fashion influenced Europe.)
But by simply focusing on the soft power of anime, manga, and video games, you can overlook the influence that, for example, the Japanese approach to manufacturing has had over the decades—namely, how super reliable Japanese cars have directly increased the quality of automobiles around the world. This was a revolution that made high quality cars affordable to the masses. This was a very powerful way of thinking. It was also cultural.
Dubbing Japan "cool" in the early 2000s is missing the point: Japan has been cool for long before that. Japanese soft power and influence has been so dominant for so long that people don't look at, for example, Nintendo and immediately think Japan. Yet, Nintendo is a very Japanese company. Nintendo, like other Japanese brands, have become global. So when people say the Japanese game industry is totally screwed, they need to either leave out Nintendo or overlook it entirely.
Japan didn't just start being cool. It didn't stop being cool, either. But government programs and trade organizations? Those were never cool.

By GREG EICHELBERGERSun Advocate reporter
On Tuesday the Price River Water Improvement District Board passed a measure (5-0 vote) to raise the price of a leased acre foot of water to $16 from the previous cost of $15.
The panel also increased the amount of water available from 1,500 acre feet to 1,700 during the irrigation season which runs from from April 1 to Oct. 1.
The motion was made by member Steve Rigby who indicated that he always thought the price was "too low."
"I don't want to be greedy," he added, "but I always thought it was a steal at $15."
There were no dissenting opinions, but district manager Jeff Richens (who does not vote) was concerned that the decision might preclude lessees (mostly farmers) from leasing water from the district.
"I think if you leave it at $15, we'll be the first to make that transaction. That's a dollar some of those customers may not be willing to pay."
The PRWID board last increased lease rates a few years ago when the price went from $13.50 to $15. The money earned from water leases goes to purchase water shares for the district (at about $2,000 an acre foot) as well as to to offset water share assessments, estimated to be around $12,000.
"An acre foot is a lot of water (approximately 300,000 gallons)," said board member Ben Blackburn. "Most of the large farmers have more water than they will need for that short season. I think we should buy as many shares of water as we can. We did it in Wellington years ago and that's why we had such a surplus of water shares."
At a meeting in January, the group spoke of raising the amount of acre feet available to lease from 1,500 to 1,700.
"If there is a drop in the amount of leased water, it will be compensated by the price increase," said panel chairman Richard Tatton.
According to Richens, leasing the shares puts water to beneficial use in the valley and produces needed revenue streams for the district.
"We'll have some people who will not pay the price increase," he said. "The guy who is leasing five shares will pay an extra five dollars but the one leasing 200 shares or more probably will complain. These transactions allow us to be responsible fiscally and make beneficial use for our consumer base."
Richens expects to sell all 1,700 shares since the long-range outlook is a dry spring and summer.
"I think people want to procure this water," he said. "Unless we have a really unexpected wet spring, they will need these shares."
It is estimated that between 60 and 75 individuals lease water from the district in any given season.

SYRACUSE The Syracuse mens lacrosse team rallied from a four-goal deficit late in the third quarter, but couldnt complete the comeback as Miles Thompson scored the game-winning goal in double overtime to lift the University of Albany to a 16-15 victory in the season opener for both teams Sunday at the Carrier Dome.
Thompson scored on an assist from his brother, Lyle, with three minutes left in the second overtime period.
Miles Thompson finished with three goals and two assists, Lyle added two goals and six assists, and their cousin, Ty, added five goals. All three are former Salmon River players.
It is the first time the Great Danes have defeated the nationally-ranked No. 13 Orange in 11 attempts, and the first season-opening loss for SU since it was beat by Virginia in 1996.
I have to congratulate Albany and the coaching staff, SU head coach John Desko said. I thought their guys really came to play. I thought their attack was really special. I almost questioned moving Lyle (Thompson) from midfield to attack early on. He played really well. I could tell by the amount of assists he had that it was a great move. He obviously plays well with his brother (Miles) and his cousin (Ty). I thought they were spectacular tonight.
Senior captain JoJo Marasco led the Orange with three goals and five assists, the highest point total for an SU player since Watertown native Kenny Nims tallied eight points against Princeton on Feb. 15, 2009.
Syracuse trailed 13-9 late in the third before scoring six of the games final eight goals to force overtime. Dylan Donahue scored back-to-back goals in the final five minutes to tie the game at 15.
SU possessed the ball for the entire first overtime period and misfired on five shots.
Junior Chris Daddio set career highs with 20 faceoff wins and eight ground balls for the Orange.
Kevin Rice provided a goal and three assists while Donahue finished with three goals for SU.
The Orange will host Army in its next game at 4 p.m. Sunday in the Carrier Dome.
Katie Schwarzmann scored a game-high seven goals to lead the fourth-ranked Terrapins past the No. 2 Orange in a nonconference game in front of 1,445 fans at the Carrier Dome, the third-largest attendance mark in program history.
Senior Michelle Tumolo scored four goals to go with two assists for Syracuse (1-1), which had its eight-game winning streak in home openers snapped.
Tumolo moved into fourth-place on Syracuses career points list with 238. Junior Alyssa Murray added three goals to move into ninth all-time for career goals scored with 104.
Schwarzmann, last years Tewaaraton Trophy winner, scored the first three goals of the second half to put Maryland (1-1) up 11-6. It led by at least four goals the rest of the game.
Syracuse will host No. 8 Virginia at 1 p.m. Sunday in the Carrier Dome.
Senior goalie Jen Conophy stopped all 22 shots she faced to record her second career shutout and lead the Bears to an ECAC West victory over the Bengals (6-18-1, 3-13) on Senior Day at Cheel Arena.
Sarah Nelson scored the lone goal for SUNY Potsdam (10-13-2, 6-9-1), which clinched the fifth seed in the ECAC West Tournament and will travel to No. 4 Utica College for a first-round game on Saturday.
The Bears tied Utica, 1-1, on Jan. 12 and suffered a 2-0 home loss to the Bombers the following day.
SUNY Potsdam has qualified for the conference tournament in each of its first five varsity seasons.
