PARISHVILLE - Faculty, staff and a few community members have come together to form the playground fund committee, a group aimed at getting a new playground for the students of the Parishville-Hopkinton Elementary School.
Elementary Principal Brooke Reid said an exact cost for the new playground hasnt been determined yet, but she told board of education members this week new playgrounds are not cheap and could range anywhere from $60,000 to $130,000.
We have plans to meet with a playground designer in the future, but we wanted to get started, she said.
So far the group has held a school mall fundraiser and theyre currently holding a drawing for several themed gift baskets.
Weve got plans to do more in the spring, she said, referring to another round of gift basket drawings.
While the group may have begun fundraising this year, Ms. Reid said she wants to make sure people realize a new playground isnt something thats going to happen overnight.
This is a really long-range goal, she said. I could see this taking years to raise enough money, but I feel we had to get started somewhere and now is as good a time as any.
Referring to the need for a new playground, Ms. Reid said thats something the community has been aware of years.
Theres been so many advances with playground equipment in terms of safety and getting physically fit, she said. A swing just isnt the most effective way for students to get exercise and entertain themselves.
Ms. Reid said the communitys response so far has been fantastic.
The community has been very positive, she said. A lot of people have said, No, I dont need any raffle tickets, I just want to give the money to the community.
In addition to the fundraising, Ms. Reid said several community members have already made donations and letters soliciting help are being sent to area businesses and organizations.
Anyone interested in making a contribution or serving on the committee is asked to contact Ms. Reid at 265-4642.

An unbeatable location right in the centre of Alicante and some amazing vistas from the roof-top terrace make the Eurostars Mediterranean Plaza Alicante hotel one of the most sought-after establishments in the city.
The hotel in Alicante is close to everything: a stone's throw from the Postiguet beach, from the shopping area, from the ?Barrio' (the major night-life district), the yacht marina (starting point of the 2011 Volvo Ocean Race) and many other places, such as the Teatro Principal (barely 200 metres away), the Contemporary Art Museum, the Esplanade of Spain (lovely walks in the shade of the palm trees) and the narrow streets of the old part of the city.
The great value of the Eurostars Mediterránea Plaza (hotel in Alicante Spain) lies in the fact that this is the place for people in search of rest and quiet as well as those who want life and activity. It's a paradox, but both sorts find their ideal spot here because the hotel is like the eye of the hurricane: an peaceful oasis set in the whirlpool of commercial, cultural, business and leisure activities that represent downtown Alicante.

ALEXANDRIA BAY Alexandria Central Schools staff, students and district residents will get a chance to meet the three finalists for district superintendent on Monday.
Out of 13 applicants, the district Board of Education chose Douglas H. McQueer, Hammond Central School superintendent; Kyle L. Faulkner, middle-high school principal for Fillmore Central, and Julie A. Ludwig, secondary principal for Alexandria Central, as the most qualified candidates to succeed Superintendent Robert B. Wagoner Jr., who is retiring at the end of the year.
Mr. McQueer is a Hammond native and a 1980 graduate of Hammond Central School who spent his entire 18-year career in public education at Hammond Central, a rural district with about 340 students. He worked as a high school math teacher there from 1995 until he became the districts superintendent in 2006.
Mr. Faulkner, Fillmore, is fifth- through 12th-grade principal at Fillmore Central, which has 735 students, where he started his 20-year career in public education. Before becoming a principal in 1999, he had taught seventh- through 12th-grade social studies at Fillmore Central since 1993.
Mrs. Ludwig, Henderson Harbor, was hired as Alexandria Centrals secondary principal last year. Before joining Alexandria Central School District, she worked as a school improvement specialist for the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services. She began her career in education in 1998 as a middle school special-education teacher for the Baltimore (Md.) City Public Schools.
The district Board of Education has scheduled a 30-minute public interview session for each candidate Monday at Alexandria Centrals auditorium, 34 Bolton Ave. Mr. Faulkners session begins at 6 p.m., Mr. McQueers at 6:45 p.m. and Mrs. Ludwigs at 7:30 p.m.

The comedy where everyone gets caught in the act!
Peter Bogdanovich directs Sir Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, Marilu Henner, John Ritter, and Christopher Reeve in this tale of a traveling theatre group engaging in perfect nonsense. If you love a dry, mean Michael Caine, wait till you see him flabbergasted as he tries to herd the cats of this theatre troupe into their opening night.
It's a joyous adaptation of a play about the production of a bad one where actors act like actors and everything that can go wrong...does. The screwball dialogue is sharp, and the slapstick hits hard in this doomed production of drunks and the insane.
If we can find a Michael Caine movie with alcohol, you can almost guarantee we are going to tap Bill Norris on the shoulder to handcraft some custom-made cocktails for an evening of hilarity and tasty beverages. So, grab a ticket and prepare yourself to get drunk on an evening of theatRE, "like the band playing on as the Titanic sank." (Greg MacLennan)

Dr. Louis Caputo's Ratings
After years of pain from walking on squished toes, I went to Dr. Caputo to have them straightened. He told me that these sort of "hammer toes" are genetic (despite me telling him that neither of my parents have foot problems or crooked toes) and that we were poor and didn't have enough money for shoes when I was a kid and that my shoes were usually too-small hand-me-downs and that I would have to wear holes in them before we got new ones. I have great insurance now and am ready to get these toes fixed, but Dr. Caputo seems to think that this would be "cosmetic" and not covered by insurance. He doesn't listen (he seemed oblivious to the pain I was describing and how my smaller toes will often painfully blister from the being squished under the other toes or that my big toes are so twisted and bent, I am practically walking on the side of the toes). I went to this doc because of the great reviews on this site, but it was a waste of time and money.

Bluejays' WBB Earns 66-56 Win over UNLV to Claim Duel in the Desert
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Behind 17 points from senior McKenzie Fujan, the Creighton women's basketball team defeated UNLV to earn the Scarlet Division Championship of the Duel in the Desert Tournament on Saturday, Dec. 21.
With the win the Bluejays evened their record at 6-6, while UNLV fell to 3-9.
Creighton scored the first five points to claim an early 5-0 edge (16:42), UNLV responded with a 7-2 run to knot the game at 7-7. The two teams battled back and forth through much of the first half. Down 34-31 with just 12 seconds remaining in the half, Fujan raced the length of the floor to launch a trey. The shot fell just short but freshman Brianna Rollerson grabbed the rebound and quickly tossed in the putback to send Creighton into halftime down just one at 34-33.
The momentum of Rollerson's last second bucket carried over to the second period as the Bluejays used a 6-0 run to claim a 39-34 lead (18:43). UNLV answered with six straight of their own on three-pointers from Rmanii Haynes, but sophomore Marissa Janning responded with a trifecta for Creighton. Senior Alyssa Kampaus followed with a layup along the left block to put Creighton up 44-40 with 15:22 remaining.
Facing a 46-46 tie with 13:09 on the clock, Fujan took control of the game. The Weston native converted back-to-back short jumpers, then drilled a trey from the left wing. Building on Fujan's seven straight, junior Alexis Akin-Otiko knocked down a jumper and senior Jordan Garrison drained a 28-foot three-ball to cap Creighton's 12-0 run.
UNLV got no closer than nine the rest of the contest.
Fujan led Creighton with 17 points, while Nelson chipped in 15 points and Janning delivered 11.
Alana Cesarz and Danielle Miller led the Lady Rebels with 14 points each.
Following the Bluejays win, Nelson was named the MVP of the Scarlet Division following the contest, while Janning was also named to the All-Tournament Team. The three other players on the All-Tournament Team were UNLV's Miller, Clemson's Kelly Gramlich and Oregon State's Jamie Weisner.
Creighton has the next few days off for the holidays, then will return to action on Dec. 28 as the Bluejays open their inaugural season in the BIG EAST Conference by hosting Villanova at 2:05 pm

How to Start a Rose Garden
Preparation is key: If this is an outdoor project, the ideal time to undertake it is when the weather is sunny with low humidity. Replace any missing mortar before starting the process. Then clean the surface of your bricks thoroughly, using a handheld wire brush to remove any stubborn buildups. Finally, give the surface a wash with household detergent and either a scrub brush, hose, or power washer.
Make sure the bricks are completely dry before applying a primer or conditioner coat. You can use a brush, roller, or sprayer. When you start with the final color, use an acrylic elastomeric paint for a topcoat. It will tolerate temperature changes and allow for expansion and contraction. Depending on the desired look, you may want a second coat.
Painting concrete isn't all that difficult—just make sure the surface is clean and dry. If you're painting the floor of a garage or carport stained with motor oil or transmission fluid, you'll want to take extra steps to remove the residue. There are multiple degreasers specifically available for this task, which generally require several hours to dry (turning the grease to an easy-to-sweep-up powder) and then an additional day or two for the evaporation of residual moisture. You'll need an extremely durable product, such as an oil-based exterior deck paint or an epoxy paint. The latter is more durable and will stand up longer against potential hot tire damage. This job is easiest with a roller that has an extended handle so you can paint without hunching over. You'll also want to have a few brushes of varying sizes on hand to get at those spots a roller can't reach.

IMDb has added a new movie to Mischa's in-development slate called "Girl Without a Planet." The details for the project are currently very limited as it is evidently still within the 'script' stage.
I haven't been able to find a synopsis, but the following actors are also listed as part of the cast: Edward Furlong, AnnaLynne McCord, Joan Collins, Iggy Pop, Cherie Currie and John Lydon.
A couple of the above names aren't really known for their acting, so since this project is still in its very early stages, take everything with a grain of salt.
Also, there are several directors listed for the movie. So that either means that one hasn't been chosen. Or it will be one of those movies that has several different storylines with different directors for each arc. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Thanks to Caleb for the tip!

BUFFALO, NY - Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Hospital closed its doors more than a year ago. If you drive by it today, it looks exactly as it did then despite the fact that a new veterinary medical school was supposed to take over the former hospital.
Chason Affinity Group won the rights to the $65 million project. But according to Kaleida Health, the developer is still working to try and secure a veterinary school as a tenant. They are also still working to complete the real estate transaction and close the deal.
Another delay has to do with the building's assessment with the City of Buffalo.
A Kaleida spokesperson told us that they are optimistic that the deal should be complete in the next few weeks.

Samsung has been promoting the "Next Big Thing", and this time it's the Galaxy Note 2. The phone was launched yesterday at Samsung's Galaxy Note II World Tour 2012 press event. T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T and Verizon will all be carrying it. Just considering cost, timing and coverage, which service provider should get your business?
Here's the lowdown on cost and timing:
Pre-order date: Oct. 25
Available: Nov. 27
Price: $299.99 with a 2-year plan, $699.99 off-contract
Pre-sale date: Oct. 25
Available: Nov. 9
Price: $299.99 with a 2-year plan, $649.99 off-contract
Available: Now
Price: $299.99 with a 2-year plan, $699.99 off-contract
Available: Now
Price: $369.99 with a 2-year plan, $699.99 off-contract
The Galaxy Note 2 has 4G LTE capability, and you don't want it to go to waste. While Verizon beats all the competition for nationwide 4G LTE coverage (370+ markets), AT&T is rapidly expanding their 4G LTE network and is adding to their network all the time (approximately 65 markets.) Sprint basically covers Atlanta and big cities in Texas (15 markets) with their 4G LTE, the rest is 3G. T-Mobile doesn't yet have 4G LTE connectivity, but they advertise their network as "4G", which is really a supercharged 3G (HSPA+ 42) network.
For those buying an unlocked Galaxy Note 2, here's a heads-up. The unlocked version isn't compatible with CDMA carriers and LTE networks.
There's no doubt that the Galaxy Note 2 is a fine smartphone. Its 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display is the big reason it's being called a "phablet" – part phone, part tablet. In a nod to its tablet-ness, the Note 2 is the only smartphone that comes with a stylus that Samsung calls the" S Pen." For those of us with big fingers or who are touchscreen accuracy-challenged, a stylus sure comes in handy.
Inside the Galaxy Note 2, you'll find a quad-core 1.6GHz Exynos processor, up to 16GB of storage space (with expansion up to 64GB), and 2GB of RAM. On the back is a high-quality 8MP camera with an LED flash, and on the front a 1.9MP camera for video calls. The camera can record video in 1080p, and has a 4x zoom.

We recently posted about hypermarket chain Leclerc and its price-comparison site Quiestlemoinscher.com ("who is the less expensive"), a popular tool for French shoppers. With consumers in many markets anxious about the cost of everyday goods and exceedingly price-sensitive, shoppers are ever more apt to research the lowest-price options. In response, mySupermarket aims to "bring price transparency to the shopping experience and help you shop smart." The online-shopping service launched in 2006 in the U.K., where it claims 2.9 million registered users, and is now expanding to the U.S.
In the U.S., the service lets shoppers choose among staples sold by eight major retailers (Amazon, Walmart, Target, Soap.com, Diapers.com, Drugstore.com, Walgreens and Costco), alerting users when they can save further by choosing a different size or alternative product. Shoppers check out via mySupermarket, which "optimize[s] your cart to get you free shipping," according to a promotional video. According to TechCrunch, the company is also planning a mobile app that would notify shoppers about relevant promotions when they're in stores.
While many brick-and-mortar retailers are fretting about showrooming, it's a trend that generally hasn't applied to supermarkets—but they're still vulnerable in the face of new digital tools that give consumers more workarounds and comprehensive data. At the same time, however, marketers might find opportunities here: The company told TechCrunch that its app will enable brands to communicate with opted-in consumers—for instance, alerting them to price decreases on favorite items or sending a reminder to stock up on various staples.

Jefferson Community College has settled a federal age discrimination lawsuit brought by a former administrator who claimed she was forced to step down from her job before she was ready.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter, Syracuse, has ordered terms of the settlement sealed, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court.
Gail W. Miller, Chaumont, the schools former director of college outreach, filed suit in May 2012 against the college, its board of trustees, Jefferson County, college President Carole A. McCoy and Sarah H. Baldwin, the colleges former vice president of administration, alleging her job was eliminated in 2010 in retaliation for her complaining to the trustees about age discrimination in 2008.
According to the suit, Mrs. Miller began her career at JCC in 1994 as the affirmative action/diversity officer, and she became director of academic advising in 1998. In 2000, she was promoted to assistant to the college president for special programs while continuing in her affirmative action role. She claimed to have received excellent performance reviews in 2002 and 2006 from then-President John W. Deans.
In January 2007, Mrs. McCoy was appointed president, and Mrs. Miller claimed that two months later she was told by Mrs. McCoy that she was going to be transferred to the director of human resources position or take a pay cut. Mrs. Miller accepted the transfer, which included an increased workload, including the implementation of a new software database. She claimed that requests for assistance were denied and that her staff was cut.
According to court documents, she received an unfavorable employment review for the first time in her career in January 2009 and was provided a plan to improve her performance. Six months later, she was offered the newly created position of executive director of college outreach, which she started in June 2009. She claimed the job was created in an effort to simply get rid of her.
She maintained she was given an office that was nothing more than a former closet and in an area targeted for renovation. She claimed that the office was water-damaged and the rug was filthy and that the room often was cold, causing her to have asthma attacks.
In April 2010, she was informed that her position was being eliminated in the schools budget and that if she wanted another job on campus she would have to apply for it, despite the fact that one of her former positions was open, albeit with a different title. Her contract, however, called for her to be given a years notice before her job could be eliminated.
About four months before her job was due to be eliminated, she claimed, she was forced to retire for the sole purpose of maintaining the benefits of retirement including payments of health care insurance during (her) lifetime. If she had not retired, and her job was eliminated, she would have lost the benefits.
Mrs. Miller maintained that, while she was promoted early in her career and for years received excellent performance reviews, as she grew older she was treated differently from younger employees and that, instead of resolving her complaints about age issues, the defendants collaborated on how to terminate her employment.
The county, in response, denied all of the allegations and asked to have the action dismissed. Friday, attorneys for both sides filed a stipulation seeking to have the matter dismissed owing to the settlement. A final dismissal awaits a judges approval.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
In a local economy with an unemployment rate hovering around 3 percent for fiscal year 2007, the southeastern vocational rehabilitation office placed more individuals in jobs than any other division in Utah.
"I need to emphasize that our district is so successful because of the counselors we have and the support staff in our district," said director Carol Rogers. "They care about the clients, they want them to succeed and they are willing to go the extra mile for them, that is what makes our office special."
At the recent meeting, the state office of vocational rehabilitation recognized the local agency as number one in the Utah among eight dstricts.
The statewide recognition continued the district's longstanding reputation as a training and vocational placement mecca for local residents.
"What is most impressive to me, is the fact that we have placed so many individuals with so few jobs available," said Rogers
During the 2007 calendar year, the unemployment rate locally has bounced from 2.9 percent to the current 4.5 percent jobless level.
Vocational rehabilitation uses state resources to:
Evaluate an applicant's disability.
Place the person in the appropriate counseling environment to address the disability.
Trains the individual for a new vocation or places the client in the existing job market.
According to state field services director Larry Jewkes, the 10 counselors in eastern Utah closed 332 cases for the 2007 fiscal year.
The number of finalized cases made the per counselor average 33.2 closures.
The eastern Utah region encompasses Carbon, Emery, Moab, Blanding, Roosevelt and Vernal.
For a case to be closed an individual needs to be placed in employment for 90 days following their involvement and counseling at vocational rehabilitation.
Jewkes further reported that the Utah average for closures was 26.97 per counselor, with the state closing a total of 3,156 cases.
"We had two counselors in the Price office that cleared 61 closures," said Rogers. "That is how seriously job placement is taken at our office."
But placement is not all that is available at vocational rehabilitation.
According to Jewkes, the division has a federal mandate to work with individuals with disabilities whose situation interferes with their ability to work.
This is not an entitlement program but an eligibility program based on eligibility criteria in order to receive services.
Each applicant that is found eligible for services is dealt with on their individual disability and circumstances, said Jewkes.
"We provide many different services at our office including education and assistance obtaining that education," said Rogers. "We also can aid individuals with vocational issues with starting their own business as well as on-the-job training and supported job based training. Within the state's criteria we do whatever we can on a person-to-person basis to help the client succeed."
Some examples of services that can be provided by vocational rehabilitation include; tuition for schooling, from a certification to a bachelor's degree, transportation to the training site, medical treatment, licenses, fees, tools, equipment and many other services based on the clients need and the agency's standards.
"Job placement is our ultimate goal," said Rogers. "And we employ a full time job placement specialist, who happens to be Dorothy Carter at our office."
Individuals interested in seeking assistance can call vocational rehabilitation at 637-2820 locally or toll free at 800-491-7734.
"The State of Utah is a leader in the country pertaining to rehabilitation services and assisting individuals with disabilities," said Jewkes. "And the Eastern Utah district is a leader in the State of Utah.

Judge, jury, and big-mountain executioner.
Court is in session and you want the DC Judge Boot on your side. A stiff boot built to give you the support you need in the backcountry, the Judge features the Boa H3 Coiler closure system to provide unmatched heel hold and fit. So whether you're sending booters or charging hairy lines, the Judge will rule in your favor.
The Boa H3 Coiler system features two Boa dials to allows you to independently adjust the tightness of the upper and lower zones of the boot so you can get it just the way you like it. Stainless steel laces won't corrode over time, which means you can trust your Boa system all season long. Originally developed by the military, the SuperFabric upper is virtually indestructible to prolong the life of your boot. The stiff flex keeps it supportive and responsive enough for charging steeps and sending jumps, while articulated construction ensures you still have enough flexibility to tweak grabs.
Stay comfy throughout the day in the Black liner, which features anatomical J-bars to keep your heel locked down, heat-moldable EVA foam for a custom fit, and an Impact G heel cushion to absorb shock from harsh impacts. The Aerotech ventilation system uses integrated vents in the liner and shell to transfer moisture away from your foot so it stays dry and warm. Lightweight Unilite material in the outsole shaves weight and increases rebound, while strategically placed rubber increases durability in high wear areas.

DC Judge Boa Snowboard Boot - Men's
? Share a...
Poor construction lets it down
OVERALL: Despite the positives, the DC Judge is a poor quality boot that started breaking apart after just 10 days on the mountain.
PROS: minimal to nil heel lift despite aggressive freestyle riding. Excellent stiffness with great responsiveness, so sensitive that I had to adjust my style coming from my days of old rental gear. Dual boa allows customised fit that really locks the heel in. Fits my flat foot well. Great traction on ice including black ice; once had to walk with these on for 2 hours on icy roads and they gripped the road well enough that I didn't fall (though I did slip a few times).
CONS: quality really lets this boot down; the outer layer came apart after just 10 days thus allowing snow and water to leak directly into the boot and allowing the anchors for the boa laces to come apart. Certainly not comfortable at the start to the point it made my toes numb but they did break in quickly after just 5 days.
a good boot
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I ride the whole mountain, groomers and moguls. this boot has been pretty good. ive got about 10 days on it. The boot is stiff but not too stiff. feels just about right. slight forward lean but not too aggressive. my only complaints with this boot are two small things... 1) the boot does run a little small, im an 11.5 and i had to order a size 12. 2) the toe box area on this boot is a hair roomier than i would have wanted but its not bad. the boot seems like it will hold up well so far., esp the material they used around the toe box seems super strong. its been comfortable. I also purchased the Burton Concord, the toe box on the concord was a little more snug and true to size but i felt like the Judge was the more comfortable, more secure boot. i felt like the judge locked in my heel better than the concord.
Poorly constructed
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought these boot because the dual BOA. These are my first boots from DC shoes, and likely my last.
After 5-6 moderate uses, the books are showing significant wear and tear. The right toe panel on the left boot fell off partially then completely. The right rubber heel cup is separating from the back of the boot. Rubber has worn off completely along the calf seam. Their construction does not seem up to par with the rest of the industry.
I've never had a set of boots fall apart so quickly. I've been snowboarding 15+ years, using Burton, 32, and Vans boots. I contacted DC shoes with photos of the early wearing, and they were unwilling to send a replacement pair. So, a D- for customer service as well.
Kayla Weiser, Gearhead
DC Black Liner Overview
Stiff, but not 8 stiff
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I would say these boots are closers to 6 in stiffness. They are on the later part of the scale, but they are not so stiff that they are hard to walk in or feel like they have pain points that grab your feet.
The boot fits a little small, I wear a 42 (9) in pretty much every shoe I have and I ordered a 9 in these. I probably should be in a 9.5, but I was able to pack out the boot and heat the liner up to fit my foot well.
Note of caution, don't heat the footbed up too much as it will warp the moldable padding and you will be left with a uncomfortable footbed.
And the biggest reason why I bought the boot was for the double boa. I am infamous for taking 30 min to setup my boots just right. I never wanted boa in the past because it did not offer the customization I needed. But after using this double boa I am converted. Saves me probably 25 min of setup, and is secure for the entire day.
Great boot, DC has done a great job!
Great review, much appreciated. I am getting me a pair now.

HARRISONBURG, Va. - The William and Mary women's basketball team fell at James Madison, 82-52, on Thursday night from the Convocation Center. The College weathered an early JMU attack as it zapped multiple first-half deficits to single-digits before the Purple and Gold pulled away in the second-half. For the year, the Green and Gold falls to 2-13 overall and 0-4 in Colonial Athletic Association action, while JMU improves to 9-7 on the season and 3-1 in league play.
Senior Emily Correal led the Tribe with 21 points and 11 rebounds, while classmate Taylor Hilton netted nine points on 4-of-6 shooting from the floor. Senior Janine Aldridge finished the evening with eight points, while sophomore Kyla Kerstetter chipped in with four. The College finished the night shooting 21-of-61 (35 percent) from the field and 7-of-9 (77.8 percent) from the foul line.
In opening half action, JMU started strong, connecting on six of its first seven attempts, as it built an early 17-8 advantage with 16:24 remaining. Precious Hall led the Duke attack in the early spurt with nine points.
Trailing 25-12 at the 10:40 mark, the Tribe responded with a run of its own, 8-2, as it got to within 27-20 at the 8:07 juncture. Hilton's lay up ignited the burst, while Correal's conventional 3-point play capped the six-point advantage.
The two squads traded buckets for the next three minutes as the College stayed within striking distance. However, JMU increased its lead to 34-24 after Hall connected on a 3-pointer at the 4:43 mark. Answering back, the Tribe trimmed the deficit back to single-digits, 34-25, when sophomore Jazmen Boone netted a free-throw with 4:21 remaining. With 41 seconds left on the clock, Hilton's lay up proved to be the final bucket of the half, but it was JMU who owned the 41-31 lead at intermission.
W&M stormed out of the gates in the final 20 minutes of action as sophomore Anna Kestler's fast-break lay in got the Tribe to within 43-35 at the 18:55 juncture. Despite cutting the deficit back down to single-digits, the Dukes answered with a 10-0 run as it seized control of the contest. For the remainder of the evening, JMU kept its distance between itself and any Tribe comeback.
Senior Tarik Hislop paced the Dukes with 21 points, while Hall added 14 points and five assists. James Madison shot 31-of-73 (42.5 percent) from the field and 13-of-19 (68.4 percent) from the charity stripe.

SOUTH DAYTON, N.Y. - The tiny village of South Dayton, Cattaraugus County, got some of the most snowfall Saturday from the weather system that entered into Western New York this weekend. South Dayton got about five inches of snowfall.
From South Dayton to Gowanda to Hamburg, the snow has made things slick in some areas, while others remained dry. Still, a good sign showing that some areas still remain wet is that plows are still on the roads.
Plows have been spotted both Friday night and a good portion of Saturday. Many were found on major highways like the 219.
Some emergency responders approve of the job the plows have been doing. Thomas Kehr, the vice president of Lawtons Fire Department said, "I would say pretty good, especially south of Hamburg, we pretty much stay south of Hamburg, we don't get to the city that often, they're doing a good job out here."
But, there were some hiccups on the road. One driver spun out on the 219 in Springville and had to be towed.
The wind has been strong as well. Folks in Ellicottville had to do some shoveling Saturday, also places like Colden are digging out.
Robert Phillips, who was visiting family in Springville and was traveling from Alabama said, "it was quite a drive home, a couple cars in the ditch, just very slow going."
Frank Krause of Virginia said, "Oh yeah, the kids think it's great, I'm driving in it, I don't think it's as great."
With the holiday weekend nearly over, people are still coming in and out of the area and that means people are on the roads. If you are traveling by road, you're advised to use caution.
Meantime, places like Holiday Valley, the major ski resort in Ellicottville, is covered with snow. This is a good sign for what could fall there this winter.
Jay Stoddard, an avid skier said, "this is why we live here in the winter. Most people like to live on the beach this time of year, people around here like to ski ... this is a welcome."
Holiday Valley hopes to open sometime on Thursday or Friday for skiing enthusiasts.

I've searched the forum but have not found an answer to this. How to circle through players in a demo that I have recorded? I saw talk about third person, but that's not what I need. For example I want to record a duel with a bot and see how am I dodging through his eyes.
Thanks very much in advance!

For users that have been a Mac user for quite some time, you have probably heard of a program called the MacHeist, which allows users to bundle programs together for a very low price. The Heist, an unlocked iPhone 4 app has been confused for Macheist but is a different beast entirely. The Heist is a unique puzzle game that is very in depth and can be very addictive. The app allows users to navigate through four different types of puzzles over the course of sixty levels on their way to beating the game, with future versions of the app looking like they could be on the horizon as well. The four different puzzle types all have different themes, which is part of the reason why the game has been so highly sought after. You would think that puzzle games had lost their appeal but it appears as if they are more popular than they have ever been.
There is also a prize to any user that is somehow able to complete every level of the popular and challenging game. This has not been at this time, but you can expect someone to eventually break through all 60 levels to claim their price.
The game has been released by the popular game development company called TapTapTap that has released a number of other popular apps. One of their most recent apps that they released is the Camera+ iPhone 4 unlocked app, which is currently available for just $0.99 through the App Store. As of right now the app is the number one paid app overall, which is quite an impressive feat considering how popular some games like Angry Birds have become in the app store. TapTapTap is a company that prides themselves on the quality of the apps that they offer and will likely continue to release highly popular apps moving forward.

|Corrosion in Exhaust System Blamed for Deaths
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 13 June 2013 05:51
"Preliminary results indicate that the source of the elevated carbon monoxide levels in room 225 appears to have originated from the pool water heater located in the pool mechanical room located underneath room 225."—Boone Police Chief Dana Crawford.
We now know what led to the triple tragedy—three deaths in two incidents at the Boone Best Western Hotel between mid April and early June. Testing from Federal and State officials found several avenues for carbon monoxide gas to leak from a pool heating system into guest rooms above, specifically, room 225, where the three died, according to Boone Police Chief Dana Crawford, "The exhaust system for the pool water heater had multiple deficiencies, several avenues for carbon monoxide entry into room 225 have been observed."
Boone Fire Chief Jimmy Isaacs said that, in this case, corrosion was not checked, "I think a lot of this is going to come down to lack of maintenance. One thing we need to understand, pool areas are inherently corrosive because we have chlorine in the area, and chlorine is a very strong oxidizer which is going to accelerate the corrosion process in these areas. When you have a piece of equipment in these areas, it is going to require more maintenance." And he said that clearly, laws need to be changed. He also said he had heard of at least three very similar cases—another in North Carolina—that he called "very similar."
The investigation still has a long way to go, according to Chief Crawford, who said there may well be criminal charges, and that he had been in touch with the District Attorney's office.

NEWPORT–After dropping their season opener to Rice by the score of 4-0, the North Country field hockey team had a much better showing against Montpelier, even though they were bested by the Solons 1-0.
"I think they improved on everything," said coach Chantelle Bouchard. "Their spacing was good, their talking was good, and Danielle played a great game."
After the Falcons controlled the ball in the early minutes, the Solons started to find their groove.
Montpelier won the race to the scoreboard when they were able to make the best of a scoring opportunity off of a corner.
Carly Martin's dribbler somehow made it through a maze of players and found the back of the net giving the visitor's the lead.
"I thought we were pretty good out there, especially defensively," said Solon coach Heath Haskell.
The Solons kept up the pressure, so much so that Bouchard was forced to call a time-out to get her team refocused.
Coming out of the break, North Country seemed energized and attacked their opponents with vigor.
Leading the charge all game long for the Falcons was Brittany Fortier.
The sophomore, despite being in only her second game at the varsity level, was a presence to contend with all game long, weaving in and out of traffic and pestering the Solon defenders.
Said Bouchard, "Fortier really stepped up her game. She really wants to win."
Despite getting the ball deep into the enemy zone, North Country could not quite get the support on offense they needed to really make things happen.
"At the varsity level you have to get points if you want to go to the play-offs, so...," mused Bouchard.
Late in the first, Montpelier almost went up 2-0 on a breakaway chance, but were unable to corral the loose ball for a quality shot.
In the second half it was more of the same for North Country.
They would get the initial push on the play, but again the lack of support hurt the offense time and time again.
Fortier hit Adrianna Fournier with a ball late, but left all alone, Fournier was unable to convert on the chance.
The Falcons had another shot late, but again just could not quite seem to find the net, and the Solons held on for the win.
"I think we played well as a team," said Fortier. "We talked a lot this game, their goal was weak, and we definitely could have won it."
It was not as if North Country was out-played, they weren't.
In fact it was a very even game, but Bouchard admitted that the lack of offense was hurting the team, and in fact changes were coming, as soon as practice on Wednesday.
Said the coach after the game, "Practice is going to be very interesting."
Fans will get a chance to see what changes were made between games as St. Johnsbury rolls into town today for the 0-2 Falcons' third straight home game of the season.
Game time is 4:00

The outcome of a highly contested downstate state Senate race Friday could be of immense political significance for the state – and the north country.
Leading by just 19 votes after a court-ordered recount, Demcorat Cecilia F. Thaczyks win in the 46th district means that New York Democrats have a 33 to 30 majority in the state Senate counting party labels.
But Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, said this isnt the calculus that currently matters.
Mr. Griffo said the Senate is made up of three conferences: 27 members of the Democratic conference, five members of the Independent Democratic Conference, 30 members of the Republican conference and one rogue Democrat who is conferencing with the Republicans.
This is how crazy this gets, Mr. Griffo said of the Senates political math. The Republicans still have the most [people] in one conference.
More importantly, the Republicans and the IDC have amended the rules of the Senate and formed a coalition leadership.
To that end, Mrs. Tkaczyks win doesnt affect anything, Mr. Griffo said.
But he said it doesnt bode well for future years for Republicans, who were in power for last years Senate redistricting.
The next election will tell it all, Mr. Griffo said. It will all come down to 2014.
This was a disappointment and a surprise this year, Mr. Griffo said of Tkaczyks win.
Sen. Elizabeth OC. Little, R-Queensbury, said while she isnt positive how Mrs. Tkaczyks win will impact the state, I think when youre in a two-year election cycle youre always working on the next election. [Republicans] may be able to gain more members and still work with the [IDC] coalition.
Mr. Griffo agreed that the ground game is crucial going forward.
You have got to look at everything, Mr. Griffo said. Youve got to be realistic and look at the demographics in the state. And youve got to look at your strategy.
Mr. Griffo said over the past two years since Republicans took control of the Senate, We cut taxes, cut spending and had an on-time budget. There were a lot of good things. If you were grading the GOP conference we would have gotten good grade.
But New York is a dark blue state, Mr. Griffo said, and going forward the Republican Party, even in upstate New York, is going to have to fight a tough battle to maintain power.
For upstate, where many Republicans draw support, the fight is also about representation.
For the upstate calculus, its going to be terrible if you dont have that balance [of Republicans in the Senate and Democrats in the Assembly] in the Legislature. The advocacy [for upstate] was from the Republican Senate, Mr. Griffo said.
Mr. Griffo said the current coalition leadership may continue to be the secret to Republican success.
I dont see the IDC going away, Mr. Griffo said.
He said the next two years will be a test of the coalitions ability to function, and also a crucial period in which the Republicans have to prove to the state that their leadership is valuable.

Read: Jesper Fasth Prospects Preview
Mike S.
In the history of the New York Rangers Draft, selecting players in the later rounds (6th round) has worked out very well for them. The list of players drafted by the Rangers in the 6th round that had solid careers in the NHL: Eddie Johnstone (1974), Tom Laidlaw (1978), Reijo Ruotsalainen (1980), Tony Granato (1982), Kjeil Samuelsson (1984), Darren Turcotte (1986) and Carl Hagelin (2007). Perhaps the best selection for the Rangers in the round 6 will be their 2010 selection of Jesper Fasth. Interesting fact leading up the 2010 draft was that Fasth did not appear on the NHL Central Scouting; which ranked European skaters available for the draft. If not for Red Line Scouting Report service; which had ranked Fasth 110 overall, most people might not have heard of him at all. Reportedly, one of the reasons why Fasth was overlooked was based on his date of birth (December 2, 1991). Apparently, being younger and undersized (5'11/165 lbs) caused Fasth to slip through the cracks.
Since being drafted, Fasth had a solid season in 2010-11 (65 games: 20 goals-22 assists) while playing against older and stronger players. Fasth has also added nearly 15 pounds to his frame (5'11/179lbs) and is currently playing for the HV71 Jonkoping Swedish Elitserien team and in four games has produced a goal.
Follow THIS LINK for a section dedicated to Fasth.
Below are a few Scouting reports on Fasth:
Elite Prospects: Fasth is a very good Skater with nice acceleration and top speed. He works very hard, fore checks with impressive intensity and also creates a lot of offense thanks to his agility and speed. Has decent hockey sense, technical skills and scoring ability, but it perhaps still more likely to develop into a role player. He's not an overly physical player, but likes to play through rough traffic and does it pretty well.
Hockey's Future: Jesper Fasth has made the biggest leap in the organizational rankings of any player this season. Fasth has the potential to be the most successful European draft pick the Rangers have had in recent years. Fasth has the potential to play on the second line in the NHL.
Hockey Prospectus: He's a plus Skater with an above average shot, a great work ethic and he's starting to show average prowess and sense with the puck. While the offensive skills outside the skating aren't overwhelming, the package in itself is enough to possibly project as a scoring forward in the NHL.
Strengths: Good skater with excellent speed, solid work ethic with good awareness in all three zones on the ice. Exceptionally stick handler and passer with good vision on the ice.
Weaknesses: Needs to add more strength and size to his frame to handle the physical play in the AHL and NHL. Needs to adapt to the smaller rinks as well in both leagues and also will need to improve along the boards.
Future Analysis: Jesper Fasth is a gifted winger who has a very high ceiling if all goes well in his development. He reminds me a great deal of former Ranger Petr Prucha; with the potential to be more consistent offensively and more defensive minded.

Hi all,
From my past experience i would say, finding the correct device driver installing them in your linux box for WiFi service had been a tuff task to face with. especially to establish some of the EAP based methods like EAP-TLS with TKIP etcs.
From 2.6.19 kernel onward by default they deduct the WiFi hardware automatically. Some of the Features used to connect to your WiFi are
wconfig similar to ifconfig, wpa_supplicant etc.
Is there any other user friendly tools available ?

POTSDAM House hunter Doyle R. Dean was looking at a home on Broad Street earlier this year. It was within his budget, and not far from his workplace at SUNY Potsdam. However, a quick trip to the basement revealed a problem.
When I was looking at the house I came down and saw the water, Mr. Dean said.
He purchased two sump pumps shortly after purchasing the house in May, and so far he has had no problems. But Potsdam residents who live nearby are no strangers to flooding, and the village is looking to improve its stormwater management infrastructure to keep the rain out of peoples basements.
The problem first became obvious on Sept. 30, 2010, when a 3-inch storm provided the finale to an entire month of rain.
The ground just couldnt take it anymore, recalled Bruce J. Henderson, public works superintendent.
Dozens of homes flooded, and in the aftermath the village commissioned a study to find out how it could prevent a similar level of damage from happening again.
The problem is one shared by communities around the nation, according to Mr. Henderson.
All of the drains were built at a time when nobody expected the village to grow to its current size.
Everything is undersized. Our infrastructure was built back in the 1950s, he said.
One major problem area is even older. An underground canal runs beneath Broad Street, channeling much of the villages stormwater into the Raquette River. It was once a normal canal, but it was buried more than a century ago, with a vault built over it, to make way for new roads.
In the decades since, builders ran water, sewer, gas and electric lines through the vaulted canal.
These blocked debris, allowing it to build up and stem the flow of stormwater. As far as anyone can remember, it has never been cleared out.
In recent years, segments of the canals roof have crumbled, creating sinkholes in village roads that have been repaired hastily.
Some residents feel the village has waited too long to address the problem.
They dont seem to maintain it properly, said Lance W. Weber, a longtime resident of the oft-flooded Waverly Street, which sits above the underground canal. Theyd rather sweep the streets than clean the culverts.
This soon may change, Mr. Henderson said. The village is looking into grant funding to help with stormwater projects, including clearing out the canal.
Village Planning and Development Coordinator Frederick J. Hanss said a grant application is under consideration, although he declined to go into specifics until things were further along. However, he did say that any steps taken likely would be the start of a long and expensive process.
This is a problem thats taken 100 years to reach where it is, and its not going to be an easy fix, he said.
In the meantime, the village has focused its efforts on not making the problem worse. A recent change in construction codes reduced the number of parking spaces required for businesses, meaning less asphalt for water to run off.
Major construction projects are scrutinized intensely to make sure they do not add any unnecessary burden to the already-taxed system.
Improvements will be slow, Mr. Henderson said, just as they are in many communities struggling with outdated infrastructure.
When a massive, once-in-a-lifetime storm like the one that struck in 2010 hits, even the best planning can do only so much. But by taking the necessary steps, the village can ease the burden, he said.
Its never going to be easy, but we can do preventive practices, he said.

First, my apologies for the repetition in the headline.
It is quite difficult to type while holding my aching sides and trying to focus through the tears of laughter. But well worth the effort.
While I will make it an often visited topic and expand (a lot) soon, it is my great pleasure to write about recent news concerning Gerado E. (Jerry) Gonzalez from the hard-left, wanna-be bullies at the largely discredited Southern Poverty Law Center and their latest release of their annual fund-raising "hate map" (I am not making this up, they really publish a national map of what they say are "groups" that "hate" – they even have them divided up into categories). Not many rational people pay much attention this nonsense.
But for the illegal alien lobby, it is a large part of their tool box. "Ties to hate groups" is the constant, baseless and shrill howl made in endless hope that pro-enforcement Americans' message of compliance with immigration and employment laws is overcome.
So let me finally type it: According to the SPLC, Jerry Gonzalez, Executive Director of the anti-enforcement Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials and well-known, far- left smear artist has ties to a designated hate group.
Even in the twisted world of separatist, ethnic hustling, this is not going to help his ability to keep State Farm, Georgia Power, Coca Cola and UGA's Fanning Institute - and at least one Atlanta area judge (to name only a few) - on as donors, supporters and board members.
It likely won't stop the support of Jane Fonda.
In a nutshell: Last Thursday evening, Gonzalez sat on yet another panel discussing, among other things, lamenting the fact that Cobb County government is unfriendly to illegal aliens. On that same panel, organized I am told by local accidental-entertainer Rich Pellegrino, sat a character named Charles Muhammad who is a Marietta Nation of Islam "minister."
The MDJ covered the event HERE and I blogged it HERE yesterday.
But that was before the SPLC slime-news came out.
The SPLC has officially labeled the Marietta branch of the Nation of Islam as a …"hate group." See the Spring 2012 "hate map" HERE (go to Georgia) . If you have only seen the usual media cover-up reporting on the SPLC, please see HERE.
New handle for Jerry? Angry Jerry-with-ties-to- a- hate- group Gonzalez. See what I mean about holding my sides?
This is not Angry Jerry-with-ties-to- a- hate- group Gonzalez's first rodeo with hate group minister Mohammad. They both participated in a similar 2010 shindig at which they attacked Cobb Sheriff Neal Warren and Gwinnett Sheriff Butch Conway, immigration enforcement in general and the wildly successful 287 g program in particular.
Jerry in 2010: "287(g) is unreformable. 278(g) has been co-opted and abused by Cobb County Sheriff Neil Warren, Wild West Warren, which I say with disdain, not as a compliment. As well as Butch Conway in Gwinnett County," said Jerry Gonzalez, executive director of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials. "We're talking about what could potentially happen in Arizona and we're worried and we're upset and we're angry about it. You can catch up on the entire MDJ story HERE.
The SPLC may be the most comical example and illustration of the filth that is the illegal alien lobby, irony and the effects of the un-American, huckster left smearing their own I have seen. Yet.
As I promised, we will get back to it later and often - and it will be yet another addition to the 'Jerry Gonzalez' chapter in my under-construction book.
A chapter that just got as new title: "The Angry Jerry-with-ties-to- a- hate- group Gonzalez" chapter.
Oh, my sides.
While I am positive that it was unintentional, "Angry" Jerry Gonzalez who heads up one of Atlanta's many illegal alien lobby corporations was in Cobb County recently campaigning for the re-election of Sheriff Warren and the members of the Board of Commissioners.
The above elected officials owe at least a hat-tip to Gonzalez and other members of a race-baiting, anti-enforcement panel - organized by and featuring the usual suspects - for confirming that Cobb County is unfriendly to illegal immigrants. Oh my!
Gonzalez went on to lament that Cobb was the first county in Georgia to take advantage of the federal 287g program.
According the the MDJ, the panelists at Thursday's "Cobb United for Change Coalition" meeting were the Rev. Lionel Gantt of the Cobb Southern Christian Leadership Conference; Lisa Davis, CobbWorks program services manager; GALEO Executive Director Jerry Gonzalez; educator Dr. Michael Rhett; and Nation of Islam minister Charles Muhammad.
Since July 2007, thousands of Cobb inmates have been identified as illegal aliens and deported because of 287 g, thereby greatly reducing Gonzalez's stock in trade and hampering his goal of creating potential leftist voters out of the fugitives.
Gonzalez has been howling about the 287(g) program for years. Obama is currently trying to reduce or eliminate the program by greatly reducing funding.
Note: The sound you may not hear is clear, vocal outrage at the president's dangerous election year pandering from the some Georgia congressmen. Let me know if I am missing something.
Anyway, it is good of Gonzalez to prove that enforcement works and to take time away from his other anti-enforcement, separatist work to help out our county leadership in an election year.
"I-Team" reporter Randy Travis at WAGA TV - Fox Five - has done his usual stellar job in exposing the fact that illegal labor is still a fact of life, business as usual habit for the anything-for-a-buck public contractors.
If you are asking where the outrage from the Governor's office is on this shameful fact...me too. I am going to call his office at 404-656-1776 to ask if there is any plan for an official investigation and an executive remedy.
The low estimate is that about 7% of workers in Georgia are illegal aliens.
Maybe another amnesty will fix it...right?
Founded by comrade David Brock in 2004, Media Matters monitors talk radio and the unaligned press to search out and destroy non-compliant voices of the reasonable American majority.
An example from today's first report: "The group scored its first significant public coup in 2007 with the firing of host Don Imus from MSNBC. Just before Easter that year, a Media Matters employee recorded Imus's now-famous attack on the Rutgers women's basketball team immediately recognized its inflammatory potential. The organization swung into action, notifying organizations like the NAACP, the National Association of Black Journalists, and Al Sharpton's National Action Network, all of which joined the fight.
Over the course of a week, Media Matters mobilized more than 50 people to work full-time adding fuel to the Imus story. Researchers searched the massive Media Matters database for controversial statements Imus had made over the years. The group issued press release after press release. Brock personally called the heads of various liberal activist groups to coordinate a message. By the end of the week, Imus was fired.
The Daily Caller also reports that "according to an internal memo obtained by The DC, Media Matters intends to spend nearly $20 million in 2012 to influence news coverage."
It is only February, but it would seem that their efforts have already paid off handsomely.
"In its short history, Media Matters has established itself as one of the most vocal and irresponsible combat organs of the Democratic Party" says Jacob Laksin at Discover the Networks and has produced a very insightful page on Media Matters HERE – which is a don't miss as well.
Don't say you weren't warned.
The first Daily Caller report can be read HERE.
The below statement is sent from the office of Georgia's GOP Chair, and our friend, Sue Everhart regarding Gerardo E. (Jerry) Gonzalez over at GALEO, one of Atlanta's many illegal alien lobby groups. GALEO is supported by Coca Cola, Georgia Power, UGA's Fanning Institute and Jane Fonda.
"This month, I was invited to attend an event hosted by the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials. While I am steadfast in my support for our conservative Latino Elected Officials, I also have fundamental philosophical differences with Mr. Jerry Gonzalez, the Executive Director of GALEO. It is a shame that Mr. Gonzalez uses his position of influence in a non-partisan organization to advance a radically partisan agenda, and for that reason I will not be attending the event. Moving forward, I look forward to continuing my work with our honest, hard working Latino leaders across Georgia."
We congratulate Ms. Everhart on her clear command of polite understatement and her never-ending demonstration of conservative common sense and integrity. Sue is always the epitome of the perfect southern lady.
Unlike Jerry.
Jerry Gonzalez, Executive Director of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials (GALEO) has been named one of "100 Most Influential Georgians" by Georgia Trend magazine in its January edition. Again.
No, really.
To get a handle on Gonzalez's "influence" and style, it should be pointed out that pro-enforcement denizens of the Georgia Capitol are forever grateful to "Angry Jerry" for his relentless race-baiting on the crime of illegal immigration, his well-known fuming, disrespectful rants during testimony in Gold Dome committees against Georgia's illegal immigration enforcement bills over the years and his willingness to personify the radical left on the issue in general.
He served as an ideal educational example for legislators unfamiliar with the illegal alien lobby.
And there is this little gem: "Influential" Gonzalez was recently removed from a Rome, Georgia panel discussion on the subject of Georgia's recent illegal immigration law, HB 87, hiring legal labor and use of E-Verify because the organization he heads and members of the GALEO Board of Directors are part of a pending ACLU lawsuit seeking to halt enforcement of parts of the law. Apparently the organizers saw a conflict.
Determined to get the anti-enforcement side injected into the event, Gonzalez drove from Atlanta to the Rome event anyway and was soon ejected and removed by local police from the property for screaming at a member of the panel, Georgia state Representative Katie Dempsey. The diminutive and well-liked Dempsey was a co-sponsor of HB 87 and a staunch supporter of E-Verify.
The Rome News Tribune covered the event and reported on Gonzalez's antics HERE.
Part of the explanation from glossy Georgia Trend on how "influence" is defined:
"..Individuals on the list - some who are very much in the public eye and some who choose to work behind the scenes - are selected for the power and influence they wield. These are the people who affect the lives and livelihood of all Georgians in one way or another…"
You can read the GALEO press release on the Georgia Trend award HERE.
Also notable in the same issue of the magazine: An essay from author and periodic MDJ guest columnist Phil Kent correcting some slips on HB 87 by GT editors in a previous edition.
Just so you'll know.
American readers who are justifiably alarmed at the local, state and national cost of providing benefits, services, drivers license exams, educational info and other official assistance and printed material in a seemingly endlessly increasing number of languages other than English may want to look forward for what is coming from Dear Leader and the anti-English crowd in Washington.
CNS News reports that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under Barack Obama has launched a telephone service that will offer live, one-on-one interpretation services in more than 175 languages.
One hundred seventy-five languages!
From the HUD Homepage:
"Have a question about buying a home, rental assistance or foreclosure but English is not your first language? HUD can help with its new HUD Language Line, a live telephone interpretation service that will allow HUD staff to converse with the public in almost any language."
Can you say Tower of Babel R Us?
"Almost any language" won't be enough of course. Anyone remotely familiar with the doctrine of the open borders mob knows that demands for additional languages is not far behind and that the premise will be that all government agencies at all levels must offer to translate into any and all of the world's languages at anytime. You know, to be "fair."
By some estimates, there are nearly 7000 languages in the world. Presumably not including Pig Latin, which is not included – yet – in the HUD list of languages in which to dole out taxpayer provided services. Readers who are, well…pro English, should know about a great and effective group by that name working hard to make English the nation's official language HERE.
You can read the entire news item from CNS News HERE.
Bonus info: A character named John D. Trasviña is the Assistant Secretary of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity at HUD.
Astute readers that follow illegal immigration may remember his name from his previous leadership gig at the rabidly anti-enforcement, open borders Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), a far-left group that was created by the Ford Foundation, from which it has received millions.
MALDEF vigorously opposes any English as official language effort at any level in the USA.
My favorite radio quote from MALDEF's founder, Mario Obledo, in 1998 - repeated live on the air goes like this: 1998: "California is going to be a Hispanic state and anyone who doesn't like it should leave. They ought to go back to Europe."
To no one's surprise, the dutiful media unfailingly describes MALDEF as a "civil rights organization." You can, and should, read more about MALDEF HERE.
Jerry Gonzalez, familiar to many readers here as the always-angry and comical chief wanna-be- enforcer at former state Georgia state Senator Sam Zamarripa's GALEO and darling of Georgia's liberal media is a former MALDEF employee. Zamarripa is a former MALDEF board member. Jane Fonda is a GALEO "founding friend."
In any language, this is what we call "networking."
Among many other watch-dog groups, Californians for Population Stabilization has put out a call fort action to contact your elected voices in Washington D.C. and ask that they, get this…alter existing – and enforced – federal law that tax credits to be given to allows illegal aliens.
Seems a sound idea to us.
CAPS explains to the no-doubt surprised and hopefully outraged reader:
"According to the Treasury Department (REPORT HERE) , $4.2 billion in refundable credits were paid in 2010 to those who filed returns using Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs), a group composed mostly of illegal workers. Only those eligible to work in the U.S. receive Social Security numbers, but the IRS allows illegal aliens to file using ITINs and then receive Child Tax Credits even if they paid no income taxes.
As the Treasury Department inspector general noted, these tax credits are "an additional incentive for aliens to enter, reside and work in the United States without authorization, which contradicts federal law..." Now is a most appropriate time to eliminate a loophole that robs Americans and encourages illegal immigration."
Readers who regard this as a common sense, excellent use of five minutes of their time can click HERE to help and to contact their U.S. Senator. For free.
Don't look now, but at least one Tea Party group – in Iowa no less - is willing to trade amnesty for illegal aliens from Newt Gingrich for amnesty for illegal aliens from a re-elected Barack Obama.
Somebody named Charlie Gruschow, who runs the Des Moines Tea Party endorsed former "make 'em legal again" Newt yesterday.
Apparently, the founder of this Tea Party likes the fact that Newt is an authority on… history.
May I suggest all concerned take a look at the year 1986 and the reason we have 12-20 million illegal aliens in the USA, some of whom Newt wants to reward. Again?
You can read more about it HERE from Iowa.
One can't help but wonder which candidate more Newt - experienced and thoughtful Tea Parties in Georgia will land on.
The 2006 state immigration law was clear that all contractors on all levels for all public works jobs would be required to use E-Verify. An ACCG/GMA amendment introduced to a bill in 2010 would have redefined the definition of labor regulated under that law. Official Capitol archived four minute video from that House committee meeting posted below should provide the beginning of an education for curious readers.
An educated and experienced observation: If everyday, taxpaying, voting citizens could see what ACCG/GMA lobbyists do in the Georgia Capitol regarding illegal immigration during legislative sessions, there would be a march on city and county governments demanding an end to membership in these groups.
Which is something I have tried several times with Cobb County. Without success.
It is tax dollars that are used to pay membership dues to ACCG/GMA which are then used to pay the lobbyists who constantly fight enforcement of Georgia laws put in place to save jobs and benefits and services for legal residents.
