Baitullah Mehsud
A Majeed/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images
Baitullah Mehsud, the supreme leader of Pakistan's feared Taliban movement and the country's No. 1 enemy, is believed to have been killed on Aug. 5, 2009, in a C.I.A. drone airstrike, according to American and Pakistani officials. On Aug. 25, Pakistani Taliban leaders confirmed the death.
Hakimullah Mehsud and Waliur Rehman, both top aides to Mr. Mehsud and said to be rivals to succeed him, called The Associated Press to say that their leader had died Aug. 23 of injuries from the airstrike in South Waziristan, near the Afghan border.
Mr. Mehsud, a militant in his 30s, made attacks inside Pakistan his top priority, distinguishing himself from other Pakistani militants who fought only in Afghanistan. He was accused of being behind the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the former Pakistani prime minister, in a suicide bombing in December 2007, among scores of other attacks. These include the 2008 bombing of the Marriott Hotel in the capital, Islamabad.
The American government had made killing or capturing Mr. Mehsud a high priority, putting a $5 million reward on his head.
Pakistanis who knew Mr. Mehsud said he had become less of an active operator since a serious kidney illness had become more acute. In fact, the August missile strike took place as Mr. Mehsud, a diabetic, was on a drip infusion for his kidney ailment, according to two Taliban fighters.
Pakistani officials announced on Aug. 18 that Mr. Mehsud's death had been confirmed by the Pakistani Taliban spokesman, Maulvi Said Muhammad, who also goes by the name Maulvi Omar, after he was captured by local tribesmen in a Taliban stronghold in western Pakistan and turned over to security forces.
Mr. Mehsud's apparent death set off a power struggle over control of the Pakistani Taliban, leading to the shooting death of the No. 2 figure in the militant group, Hakimullah Mehsud, several days later.
Two years ago, Baitullah Mehsud was a Pashtun tribesman who did not register on the radar screen of intelligence services or the Pakistani government. But he became perhaps the most prominent example of a tribal Taliban fighter who at first fought in Afghanistan and cooperated with the Pakistani Army, but then turned against his own country, unleashing a vicious campaign of violence in the name of spreading the rule of Islam.
His turn against the Pakistan state, intelligence analysts say, was seen as a direct result of his close alliance with Al Qaeda, in particular with Ayman al-Zawahri, the second in command, as well as the powerful Afghan Taliban leader, Sirajuddin Haqqani, who also has a close working connection to Al Qaeda.
Mr. Mehsud was once a minor figure in the small Shabi Khel branch of the Mehsud tribe in South Waziristan, an inhospitable mountainous territory that fiercely resisted efforts by the armies of the British empire to conquer it. The son of a prayer leader, he had a basic religious education where he grew up in Miram Shah, the capital of North Waziristan. It was probably there that he was first recruited to fight in Afghanistan alongside the Taliban during their period in government in the late 1990s.
He served with the Taliban at the Kabul airport, according to a senior Afghan security official. After the fall of the Taliban government in 2001, he returned to his native Waziristan, accompanied by thousands of Afghan Taliban and hundreds of foreign Qaeda fighters who settled in North and South Waziristan.
As the Pakistani Army began operations in Waziristan in 2004, Mr. Mehsud was promoted by the Taliban leadership to command the fighters from the Mehsud tribe.
But Pakistani officials still considered him someone they could deal with, and in February 2005 they signed a much-criticized peace deal under which the army pulled back its forces, giving Mr. Mehsud freedom to operate in South Waziristan.
He quickly expanded his forces and power, and by December 2007 he had been named the leader of the Tehrik-e-Taliban, the umbrella movement that commands most of the Taliban groups throughout Pakistan's tribal areas and the adjoining Swat Valley.
His growth had brought Mr. Mehsud back into confrontation with the Pakistani military. In 2007, he took about 250 Pakistani Army soldiers hostage when they tried to pass through his tribal territory.
The hostage-taking came just days after the government laid siege to militants in the Red Mosque in Islamabad in July 2007, and was apparently in retaliation for the government's crackdown.
Mr. Mehsud began attacking Pakistani military and intelligence targets in the tribal areas and beyond, and was behind almost all of the scores of suicide bombings that have occurred in Pakistan's cities since then, according to Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, the commander of the Pakistani Army.
Afghan security officials said that Mr. Mehsud had also sent suicide bombers to Afghanistan and to Iraq since 2006, as the number of suicide bombings soared in those countries.
He hosted many foreign fighters in his territory, including Uzbeks and others from Central Asia, and he ran training camps to indoctrinate suicide bombers, weapons he once called his own atom bombs. Working closely with him in training suicide bombers were two Pakistani militants, named Qari Zafar and Qari Hussain.
Mr. Mehsud also ran private jails and held dozens of kidnapped hostages, trading them for money or for his own fighters caught by the Pakistani authorities.
He had survived two large-scale operations against his fighters by the Pakistani military, one in January 2008 and another in June 2009.
Both times the Pakistani military seemed to pull back before finishing off Mr. Mehsud and his forces, prompting suspicions that he was still regarded as an asset by the military establishment, which has long supported militant groups to fight proxy wars in Kashmir and Afghanistan.
But his attacks inside Pakistan escalated with complex attacks on government buildings and five-star hotels, which were seen as a threat to the nation.
In June 2009, a Pakistani government official confirmed that a military offensive was planned in South Waziristan, where Mr. Mehsud was based.Hide

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
After a two-year study, a committee of local representatives have recommended to the Carbon County Commission that the Robbers Roost Event Center should be built at the fairground.
"We believe that the county should design, finance, construct and operate a multi-purpose facility as soon as possible," indicated planning-zoning director and committee head Dave Levanger at the commission's regular meeting on Feb. 6.
Carbon lawmakers formed the committee in January 2000 to look into the feasibility of building the center.
The committee and county officials contracted with Donald Snyder of Utah State University to help in the study and analysis of the facility. The study was conducted to:
Identify the broad community characteristics.
Determine specifications and facility costs.
Determine potential activities that could be staged at the center facility.
Identify operation and maintenance costs.
Estimate the financial feasibility of the center.
Estimate the potential economic impacts on the surrounding area.
The committee envisions a facility consisting of an indoor arena, a convention center and offices in a building that could be adapted to function for almost any type of event or meeting. Fixed seating would accommodate between 3,500 and 4,000 people. Temporary seating could be put in that could raise the capacity to nearly 6,000 people.
According to the study, one primary function of the facility would be equestrian activities. But the ventilation system could handle numerous events like indoor demolition derbies, moto-cross and tractor pulls. The proposed sound system would accommodate concerts and musical venues.
The convention center would be one big room that could seat up to 1,400 people for programs and up to 500 for banquets.
The committee suggested that a board be set up to run the facility and a manager hired to run the center.
The study projected costs of operating the center and paying the expenses with fees from entities using the facility.
The committee estimated that the facility could be operating in the black by more than $100,000 annually after the first year. The estimate did not include the debt service coming from constructing the facility.
Considerable discussion at the commission meeting focused on how Carbon government could meet the county's regular obligations and support the center if facility didn't pay its way even for a short time. Initial costs could be a sticking point, even with positive projections for rentals and events.
"I think we can count on this facility costing about $6 million to build," Levanger told the county officials.
Commissioner Mike Milovich had reservations about the cost of construction.
"We haven't had good experience with estimates lately," commented Milovich, referring to the initial estimates versus bids on the Active Re-Entry building at the fairgrounds. "How realistic is this estimate to build it?"
"I have real information on that because I put it together," replied Levanger. "I am sure it can be done for that if we control the costs ourselves."
Levanger suggested that Carbon government act as the general contractor and have some of the work done by county departments.
However, Milovich pointed out that the Utah Legislature has strictly limited the size of contracts public entities can manage or complete. Another bill is currently in the pipeline that will restrict contracts even more.
Commissioner Bill Krompel also had some questions.
"I want to know how liberal or conservative these figures on income and expenses are," stated Krompel.
"I think we were conservative when it came to income and what we could collect the first year and we tried to estimate all costs in the high range," said Levanger. "Proper management would be the key to costs and income in this facility."
Commissioner Tom Matthews was concerned about how realistic the projections were based on events used as examples.
"I look at some of the examples you used of different types of events that could generate money, but some of these have been tried here and have not made money," said Matthews. "I worry about that we are looking for money to support this that may not be there."
Levanger explained the events were just examples and the committee felt some had failed because of improper promotion and lack of proper facilities.
"Besides, our experience by talking with many of the other arenas and conference centers in the state, is that once they are up and running most can choose which events they want hold, not events choosing them," added Levanger. "I think the projections are realistic based on what we have learned from other facilities."
The discussion turned to how the project could be financed. Suggestions had been made to draw money from mineral lease and restaurant tax income. Neither would be enough and doing that might take money away from important, smaller projects.
One suggestion is the consideration of a ZAP tax (zoo, arts and parks tax) like Salt Lake County has used to fund projects.
"The proof in the pudding will be in the public's acceptance of such a project," pointed out Milovich. "We really need to look at the financing because pulling money to do this from sources that could dry up if the Legislature changes its mind about some of those revenues could get the county in real trouble."
"On the other hand, the positive ripple affect on the communities businesses could make it worth it," added Milovich.
All of the county commissioners agreed that strong public support for the multi-event facility would be a must for the center to be a success.
"This could very well be the biggest decision of your tenure," Levanger told the commissioners.
The commission will study the report and come to a decision whether to explore financing options to construct the center.
The lawmakers indicated that the county's decisions should be forthcoming in the next couple of months.

Comments about Galaxy Audio PSE Guitar System:
I am a pro and was disappointed in this item. I need fast and easy setup with no added worries. System is difficult to set up. Battery life is not adequate. Belt clip comes off allowing unit to drop to floor or dangle and trip you. It needs a better volume control. Battery life is as advertised, but I need better.
Indicator light too dim for reliable monitoring. Power supply lead is too short for some setups. Plastic case of power supply broke from casual use allowing 115 v terminals to be exposed and turn sideways.
Operating range is good and tone is OK.

Warwick Troop 1284 turned a Thursday morning hike in City Park into a cleanup drive, policing the area for trash. They found plenty of it, too. The boys filled up scores of plastic bags just working the area around the pavilion. Those participating were Colton and William Sleicher, Charles Bourage who earned the title of "trash king" and brothers Justin, Joe and Jeremiah Garzareli.

The Girl Who Played with Fire (The Millennium Trilogy #2)by Stieg Larsson
Out of Print
Staff Pick
Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo caught the world by surprise with its relevant and riveting story. The Girl Who Played with Fire, the second novel in the Millennium trilogy, reads even more smoothly. It leaves me wanting much more from this great writer, who died in 2004 after completing just three novels.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Mikael Blomkvist, crusading journalist and publisher of the magazine Millennium, has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex trafficking operation between Eastern Europe and Sweden, implicating well-known and highly placed members of Swedish society, business, and government.
But he has no idea just how explosive the story will be until, on the eve of publication, the two investigating reporters are murdered. And even more shocking for Blomkvist: the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to Lisbeth Salander — the troubled, wise-beyond-her-years genius hacker who came to his aid in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and who now becomes the focus and fierce heart of The Girl Who Played with Fire.
As Blomkvist, alone in his belief in Salander's innocence, plunges into an investigation of the slayings, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous hunt in which she is the prey, and which compels her to revisit her dark past in an effort to settle with it once and for all.
"Fans of intelligent page-turners will be more than satisfied by Larsson's second thriller, even though it falls short of the high standard set by its predecessor, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which introduced crusading journalist Mikael Blomkvist and punk hacker savant Lisbeth Salander. A few weeks before Dag Svensson, a freelance journalist, plans to publish a story that exposes important people involved in Sweden's sex trafficking business based on research conducted by his girlfriend, Mia Johansson, a criminologist and gender studies scholar, the couple are shot to death in their Stockholm apartment. Salander, who has a history of violent tendencies, becomes the prime suspect after the police find her fingerprints on the murder weapon. While Blomkvist strives to clear Salander of the crime, some far-fetched twists help ensure her survival. Powerful prose and intriguing lead characters will carry most readers along." Publishers Weekly (Copyright © Reed Business Information, Inc. All rights reserved.P
"Addictive...We are in the hands of a master...Salander and Blomkvist [are] the finest and strangest partnership in crime fiction since Holmes and Watson...Stunningly memorable." Scotland on Sunday
"The Girl Who Played with Fire is that rare thing – a sequel that is even better than the book that went before... A combination of urgent, multilayered thriller, traditional police procedural and articulate examination of the way a supposedly open-minded country like Sweden treats its vulnerable women and children." The Observer
"This second novel is even more gripping and astonishing than the first. What makes it outstanding is the author's ability to handle dozens of characters and parallel narratives without losing tension. Larsson was a fantastic storyteller. This novel will leave readers on the edge of their seats." Sunday Times (London)
"A dynamite thriller." Variety
"A nail-biting tale of murder and cover-ups in which the victims are tantalizingly hard to distinguish from the villains... Believe the hype... It's gripping stuff." People
"Another gripping, stay-up-all-night read." Entertainment Weekly
"Will likely confirm Larsson's position as the most successful crime novelist in the world." Slate
"It's refreshing to read crime fiction that burns with such blue-flame intensity in which every word counts. There is passion here...but Larsson never allow Fire to boomerang out of control." San Antonio Express-News
"If the thriller part of Larsson's exceptional novel is the icing, more profound elements are the philosophical cake. On the deepest level, this is about the evil [that] men and the rare woman...do." Chicago Sun-Times
"Boasts an intricate, puzzle-like story line... even as it accelerates toward its startling and violent conclusion." New York Times
"Gripping stuff.... A nail-biting tale of murder and cover-ups." People
"You might as well give up on the idea of sleep till you've finished the book." Dallas Morning News
"Buzzes with ideas [and] fizzes with fury." Los Angeles Times
"Lisbeth Salander could be the female Jason Bourne... It's an intelligent, fascinating story that draws readers in, and keeps them turning the page." Associated Press
Part blistering espionage thriller, part riveting police procedural, and part piercing exposé on social injustice, The Girl Who Played with Fire is a masterful, endlessly satisfying novel.
Mikael Blomkvist, crusading publisher of the magazine Millennium, has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex trafficking operation. On the eve of its publication, the two reporters responsible for the article are murdered, and the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to his friend, the troubled genius hacker Lisbeth Salander. Blomkvist, convinced of Salander's innocence, plunges into an investigation. Meanwhile, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous game of cat and mouse, which forces her to face her dark past.
About the Author
Stieg Larsson, who lived in Sweden, was the editor in chief of the magazine Expo and a leading expert on antidemocratic, right-wing extremist and Nazi organizations. He died in 2004, shortly after delivering the manuscripts for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.

BUFFALO, NY - Fire crews worked through the morning to contain a 2-alarm fire in the city.
It broke out right around 3:00am Thursday along the 700 block of East Eagle Street.
Buffalo Firefighters found heavy smoke & flames coming from one home, but they were so intense that they spread to an adjacent home.
That prompted fire crews to upgrade the fire to 2-alarms bringing additional help to the scene.
Two dogs were treated by Rural Metro Medical Services for burns and smoke inhalation. One of them, a black lab, is on the run in the vicinity of Ellicott Creek Park in Amherst after getting away while being transported for treatment.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Damages are estimated at $155,000.
A resident says workers installed a new heater unit on Wednesday and they believe that may have sparked the fire.
The Red Cross tells us they're assisting four adults and four children.

CINCINNATI (MarketWatch) — The Dow Jones Industrial Average is already back for another crack at the 14,000 mark.
Tuesday's strong start follows this year's worst single-day downdraft, and its rapid reversal is consistent with a healthy uptrend.
Before detailing the U.S. markets' wider view, the S&P 500's hourly chart highlights the past two weeks.
As illustrated, the S&P has pulled in from five-year highs.
From current levels, initial resistance spans from 1,510 to the February peak of 1,514.
Conversely, notable support holds at 1,486, matching the S&P's 20-day moving average.
Meanwhile, the Dow industrials' near-term backdrop is similar.
Here again, the blue-chip benchmark has pulled in from five-year highs.
Looking ahead, notable resistance spans from 14,009 (last week's close) to the February peak of 14,019.
Conversely, near-term support holds at last week's low of 13,860.
And the Nasdaq Composite has also pulled in from recent highs.
Looking ahead, initial resistance holds at 3,161 — matching its former range top — while support holds at its range bottom, around 3,125.
Widening the view to six months adds perspective.
On this wider view, the Nasdaq has balked at major resistance.
Consider two technical levels:
- The Nasdaq's 2012 closing peak holds at 3,183.95.
- The Nasdaq's absolute 2012 peak rests at 3,196.93.
The index topped last week at 3,183.1, and has initially pulled in.
Looking ahead, a break from the 2012 peak would place the Nasdaq at 12-year highs.
Moving to the Dow, the 14,000 area remains an inflection point.
But beyond round-number resistance, two technical areas stand out:
- Dow resistance spanning from 14,164 to 14,198 — this band brackets its all-time closing high and its absolute all-time high.
- Support at the Dow's breakout point, the 2012 peak of 13,662.
Technically, the Dow's path of least resistance points higher barring a violation of the 2012 peak.
And the S&P 500's six-month backdrop remains constructive.
Initial resistance now holds at the February peak of 1,514, and is followed by significant overhead spanning from 1,545 to 1,552, illustrated below.
The bigger picture
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is already back for another crack at the 14,000 mark.
And this is just one day removed from the U.S. markets' worst single-day downdraft this year.
So the pullbacks remain shallow, and short-lived, signaling a strong uptrend.
Against this backdrop, the technicals are setting up for the "irresistible force meets an immovable object" scenario.
As detailed last week, major Dow resistance falls out as follows:
- The Dow's all-time closing high of 14,164.53.
- The Dow's absolute all-time high of 14,198.10.
Though the first test of this area would be expected to draw sellers, its initial response should be a useful bull/bear gauge.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500's two-decade view is equally wide-ranging.
Three technical areas stand out:

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss in the United States � affecting about three million Americans. Unfortunately, up to half of them are unaware that they have the disease. Glaucoma develops without warning. Too often, treatment isn't sought until a degree of vision has deteriorated. At that point, steps may be taken to control the progression of the disease however, the vision that is noticeably impaired is lost forever.
Glaucoma is a disease in which the eye has too much pressure like a tire that is over inflated. This is usually painless, but the high pressure can damage the delicate nerves in the back of the eyes. Over time, too much pressure can cause visual loss and even blindness. The key to preventing vision loss is early glaucoma detection. And, since Dr. Jeffrey Hansen recently acquired the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph II (HRT II), it has never been easier for residents of Carbon and Emery continues to be diagnosed for this blinding disease often before vision suffers.
The HRT II is a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope. It not only detects the very early stages of glaucoma, it also provides eye doctors with essential information for monitoring the disease in follow-up exams.
By scanning the optic nerve and adjacent nerve fiber layer, the HRT II produces a three dimensional topographic map. It generates extremely accurate, detailed data and comprehensive analysis that simply is not possible to obtain with traditional examinations.
The HRT II exam is fast, safe and usually does not require dilating the eye. While a patient sits comfortable in a stationary position, a laser scans the eye for just a few seconds (at a lower energy level than that produced from a television remote control).
Glaucoma can develop in anyone. However, some people are considered at higher risk than others � including individuals over age 60, African-Americans over age 40, and people with high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of glaucoma.
Dr. Hansen is the only physician in eastern Utah to offer this comprehensive, non-invasive HRT II exam for early diagnostic and monitoring of glaucoma.

I never heard before of Korean Nexen but I risked ... :) I drive in all conditions for 35 years and ride 32 years super sport street bike's sometimes on the race track and all the time without serious accident for now. Just like Pirelli's STR , excellent all-weather tires but almost half the price , surprisingly excellent braking in the winter cold rain ( 1celsius ) on asphalt if not greasy , good traction in slush and snow and braking too , 120 km/ h on the highway with light snow and slushy in the bar without any problem even when changing the track with only front wheel drive. When new very predictable tires . The only thing I noticed compared to a premium brand (Pirelli STR, Bridgestone Dualler ) is softer and thinner sidewall on what to look out at the curb and the sidewalk like (potholes on the road). I had the Bridgestone Dueler H / T 684, which are a disaster on the wet and dry even in the summer, although they are expensive premium tires, as they are made of plastic. Unbelievable.

I have been very happy with these for the price I paid. Tread wear is excellent @40K miles so far and more still to go. Tire noise level have been very good much less than my previous tires. I don't get a chance to drive in rain much but from little I have it is acceptable. They handle well all things considered I am not an aggressive driver.

Employees are also volunteering on numerous environmental projects
Exelon Nuclear employees will celebrate Earth Day by participating in a variety of activities in Pennsylvania, Illinois and New Jersey, including teaching elementary school students about green energy options and volunteering at eco-friendly events.
For the second year in a row, Exelon Nuclear is conducting "Gabby Green" programs in local schools around its 10 nuclear plant sites. The educational series is designed to teach young students about electricity, conservation and green energy such as solar, wind, hydropower and nuclear. The goal of the Gabby Green program is to promote environmental stewardship and raise awareness about green energy solutions.
Nuclear power plants do not burn hydrocarbons when producing electricity so they do not produce any greenhouse gases. According to the Nuclear Energy Institute, only 27 percent of our nation's electricity comes from clean-air sources, and nuclear power plants generate almost three-fourths of it. The other major sources of clean air electricity are hydroelectric plants, which provide 5.9 percent of our nation's electricity; wind energy, 1.3 percent; and solar energy, less than 0.01 percent.
"Earth Day provides Exelon Nuclear employees with the perfect opportunity to combine their strong community involvement with their interest in the environment," said Joe Grimes, Sr. Vice President, Mid Atlantic Operations for Exelon Nuclear. "It is never too early to begin educating young folks about important energy and environmental issues."
"The people at Three Mile Island understand the important role they play in producing energy in an environmental friendly manner," said William Noll, Three Mile Island Site Vice President. "Earth Day provides us with another opportunity to promote environmental awareness and encourage people to make sound energy choices."
In the Three Mile Island area, Exelon Nuclear employees and family members are participating in the following Earth Day activities:
These activities are part of the Exelon 2020 campaign, which is a comprehensive environmental strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower the carbon footprint of Exelon, its subsidiaries and its host communities and customers.
Exelon Nuclear is the largest nuclear generating company in the nation.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $17 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area.

CAPE VINCENT Allen D. Dingman is considering doing something hes never done before: running for Congress.
The 59-year-old Carthage area native said he is giving the idea serious thought given the 21st Congressional District seat held by Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, will be on the ballot next year.
I think we need real people in there with enough life experience to make good, sound decisions that reflect traditional American values, said Mr. Dingman, who identifies himself as a staunch Republican and would seek that partys line on the ballot.
Headlines of scandals and corruption not only in New York state but across the nation are a driving force behind Mr. Dingmans interest in running for office, he said. The ongoing inappropriate photo scandal surrounding former Rep. Anthony Weiner and the overseas business trip taken by Mr. Owens in 2011 that reportedly was funded by Taiwan lobbyists are what Mr. Dingman considers questionable actions at best.
We need to hold these people accountable, he said.
Mr. Dingman said Mr. Owenss alignment on many issues with President Barack Obama, who is also a Democrat, is also a reason to mull over the idea.
We dont need any more people in Washington that are supporting the kinds of programs the current administration has put forth, he said.
Among those is the Affordable Care Act, dubbed Obamacare, which has taken fire by opponents. Mr. Dingman, who has several family members who have served or are serving in the health care field, said he feels he has his finger on the pulse of the issue.
Its not going to be good for the American people; its not going to be good for patients, and its not going to be good for health care providers, he said. In the long run, its just going to cost the American taxpayer more money for less care.
Mr. Dingman also said there needs to be an approach on military and foreign policy less in sync with President Obama, specifically with an agenda that puts border security at the top.
If he decides to seek a congressional seat, Mr. Dingman said, he would do so on a platform of being a community-minded citizen with the taxpayers interests at heart.
The only qualification you have to have is a vote, said the former Syracuse University student and Carthage Central High School graduate.
He noted his resum�, which includes having served in the Navy, Army National Guard and Army Reserves, and civilian service as a past fire chief for the Deferiet Volunteer Fire Department and deputy coordinator for the Jefferson County Incident Management Assistance Team, are among examples of leadership roles he has assumed over the years. His involvement in Junior ROTC, Boy Scouts and youth sports, among other organizations and activities, also rounds out his list of accomplishments.
Mr. Dingman resides in Cape Vincent and has a wife, Jane, and three grown sons, Lee, Christopher and Ian.
Last month, Republicans Elise M. Stefanik, a Harvard-educated businesswoman from Willsboro, and Joseph M. Gilbert, a 24-year veteran of the Army and president of the Northern New York Tea Party, announced they would seek the GOP nod to run against Mr. Owens next November.

We watched a lot of TV in the 90s and 2000s, but not every show stood the test of time. There were some sitcoms we watched week after week, faithfully, say, back in 1997. But when we watch now, it's like, what were we thinking?
Here are 16 shows that we should have never let go on for too long.
For Your Love (1998-2002)
[ione_image_credit width="594″ caption="1″ align="aligncenter" text="Getty"][/ione_image_credit]
Network: ABC and The WB
Seasons: 5
For Your Love was a show about three couples learning the ins and outs of their relationships. It makes sense that NBC tried to get in on all the relationship shows that sprouted in the 90's, but this just wasn't a good one. Although it starred TV vets Holly Robinson Peete, Tamala Jones and James Lesure, it wasn't memorable even after it switched networks to The WB. How did this last for five whole seasons?
Malcolm & Eddie (1996-2000)
[ione_image_credit width="630″ caption="1″ align="aligncenter" text="Getty"][/ione_image_credit]
Network: UPN
Seasons: 4
Malcolm & Eddie was the buddy-buddy comedy we never knew we needed, but after watching we know we actually didn't need it at all. But since it starred Malcolm Jamal-Warner, who we missed dearly from The Cosby Show, we watched loyally. But his Odd Couple story with Eddie Griffin just wasn't funny.
Smart Guy (1997-1999)
[ione_image_credit width="408″ caption="1″ align="aligncenter" text="Getty"][/ione_image_credit]
Network: The WB
Seasons: 3
A show with Tahj Mowry, Jason Weaver, Essence Atkins, and Omar Gooding sounds great in theory. But when you're watching three seasons of Tahj being an egghead know-it-all, it got tired. Just go to college already, man.
Let's Stay Together (2011-2014)
[ione_image_credit width="594″ caption="1″ align="aligncenter" text="Getty"][/ione_image_credit]
Network: BET
Seasons: 4
Just, why?
The Parent 'Hood (1995-1999)
[ione_image_credit width="630″ caption="1″ align="aligncenter" text="Getty"][/ione_image_credit]
Network: The WB
Seasons: 5
Who knew this show lasted for that long? It had a great premise, and showcased an educated, Black family living in Harlem, so it could have taken over where The Cosby Show left off. But it didn't. If you watch the show in 2015, though, you see a man trying to escape the pressures of his family through his overactive imagination. The show's bright spot: Reagan Gomez-Preston.
Family Matters (1989-1997)
[ione_image_credit width="407″ caption="1″ align="aligncenter" text="Getty"][/ione_image_credit]
Network: ABC, CBS
Seasons: 9
How did we let this show continue for nine whole seasons? The first few seasons of Family Matters were golden. You had a nuclear Black family with some extended family members in the mix. It was all good, because you had kids in school learning valuable lessons. But then one of the kids, Judy, disappeared without a trace. Aunt Rachel left and never came back, but she left Cousin Richie. That's when things got weird for the series. Steve Urkel (played by Jaleel White) transformed into Stefan Urquelle (and even Bruce Lee). There were teleportation pads. Steve was in space… like, what was going on? Once the show moved to CBS the original Harriet (played by JoMarie Payton) was replaced by Judyann Elder. There's barely any classic episodes from a show that lasted almost 10 years, and that's a shame.
Half & Half (2002-2006)
[ione_image_credit width="426″ caption="1″ align="aligncenter" text="Getty"][/ione_image_credit]
Network: UPN
Seasons: 4
Half & Half was like Sister, Sister but they were half sisters who knew each other. Mona (played by Rachel True from The Craft) was raised mostly by her mother (played by Telma Hopkins), and her father got remarried and had another child, Dee Dee (played by Essence Atkins) and raised her as a family. When they get older, they live in the same apartment building and you see them clash due to their differences. Not a bad premise, right? It wasn't, it was just a corny show.
The Wayans Bros. (1995-1999)
[ione_image_credit width="412″ caption="0″ align="aligncenter" text="Getty"][/ione_image_credit]
Network: The WB
Seasons: 5

TEMPE, Ariz. - The Creighton softball suffered a 4-3 defeat
to Stephen F. Austin in its final game of Kajikawa Classic hosted by Arizona
State Saturday.
Three Bluejays connected on a pair of hits including junior Blair Lowe,
senior Amy Baker and freshman Kelsey Allender. Junior Alexis Cantu drilled her
first home run of the season for the Jays in the game.
Creighton (2-3) totaled nine hits against Stephen F. Austin (2-2), but only
brought three runs across the plate. Both
teams left nine runners on base in the game.
Junior Becca Changstrom started in the circle for Creighton against Carlie
Thomas of SFA.
After a scoreless first inning, SFA opened the scoring in the bottom of the
second. Two hit batters put runners on first and second for the Ladyjacks with
one out. A Bluejay error on a fielder's choice play loaded the bases before
back-to-back singles scored a single run each to put SFA out front 2-0. Stephen
F. Austin left the bases loaded after Changstrom rung up a strikeout and an
infield popup to get CU out of the inning.
The Ladyjacks added another run in the bottom of the third. After a leadoff
double, Changstrom notched a pair of K's but an errant CU throw allowed a run
to score to make it 3-0 SFA.
Creighton fought back with two runs in the top of the fourth. Cantu opened
the frame with a bomb over the fence in left center to cut the lead to 3-1.
Senior Sammy Snygg followed with a single and junior MaKenzie Michael reached
on an SFA error to put two runners in scoring position. A single off the bat of
Allender scored Snygg to make it a 3-2 Stephen F. Austin lead.
The Bluejays knotted the game at 3-3 in the top of the fifth inning. A
one-out double by Lowe started the rally. A double from Amy Baker drove in Lowe
to tie the game. The Jays threatened with two runners in scoring position but
Thomas struck out two Jays to end the inning.
SFA took the lead again in the bottom of the sixth after a two-out solo home
run to put the Ladyjacks ahead 4-3.
Baker singled to start the seventh, but the Bluejays could not bring the
tying run across the plate.
Changstrom took the loss to fall to 1-2 while Thomas earned the win to
improve to 2-0 for SFA.
Creighton has a full week off from competition before traveling to Conway,
Ark., to take part in the Central Arkansas Tournament Feb. 22-24.

How can I avoid watery flavor and gritty texture, without a slick, weird, off-tasting effect from too many stabilizers?
Don't use too much stabilizer?
Make a "sorbet syrup" that's saturated with dry ingredient (glucose atomize, stabilizer, etc), then experiment with balancing that and simple or strong syrup with your puree, juice, etc. Its the simplest way to find the best results (unless you are provided a recipe that calls for the exact base you plan on using). Cremodan makes a perfectly reliable and easy to find "sorbet stabilizer", as far as that goes.

CANTON An arbitrator is expected to release his findings soon in a contract impasse between the village and its police union thats been dragging on for nearly three years.
Arbitration is the last step of impasse, Mayor Mary Ann Ashley said Monday. Its my belief that both sides want to see it resolved.
The two sides presented their arguments Dec. 2 before an arbitration panel in Albany.
Dennis J. Campagna, the arbitrator assigned to the case, is supposed to release his findings in mid-January. His decision is binding.
The village board will be advised of his findings and well go from there, Ms. Ashley said.
The Canton Police Association has been working under the terms of a three-year contract that expired May 31, 2011. Disagreements over pay raises and employee health insurance have been the stumbling blocks.
Members of the police union, including 2� dispatchers, three sergeants and five police officers, are the only village employees who are not required to contribute to their own health insurance premiums. Police Chief Lori A. McDougal is required to contribute 15 percent.
A settlement offer presented by the village in July 2012 was rejected by the police unions negotiation team, led by Anthony J. Solfaro, president of the New York State Union of Police Associations Inc.
William Lochner, a mediator, then was assigned to hash out the differences, but the two sides failed to reach a settlement.
At the December hearing, the village was represented by Michael A. Richardson, a labor relations consultant, and Jeffrey D. Honeywell, an Albany attorney.

Clippers 103, Chicago 89
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Tue, 03/20/07, 09:27pm:
Solid defense on the S/R and the rotation. Plug the middle. A serviceable inside-out game. That's what worked last season, and that was the recipe tonight. Chicago couldn't hit, but the Clippers smothered the perimeter in the closing minutes of the game.
After Deng drills a jumper with 3:33 left, the Bulls don't hit another FG until Hinrich drives for a layup to cut the Clipper lead to 10 with 0:47 left. The defensive sets that won it:
• [4th, 3:00] From the backcourt, Hinrich lobs the ball quickly into Gordon in the left corner. He launches a 3PA, but Kaman closes quickly and gets a piece of it. Elton grabs the rebound.
• [4th, 2:31] Hinrich brings it up left side and runs a high S/R with PJ Brown. Brown's 17 footer is no good, but Deng comes down with the rebound. As he goes back up, Kaman swats his shot out of bounds. After a Chicago timeout, they inbound the ball and get it back up top to Hinrich. Deng breaks off a down screen for a 19-footer just behind the right elbow. It misses. Kaman comes down with the rebound, though Ewing almost topples him.
• [4th, 1:55] Chicago trails by six as Gordon brings it up. Wallace sets a quick screen for him on the right perimeter, then dives. Gordon gets Kaman off the switch, but Ewing recovers nicely. Gordon tries to take Ewing off the dribble right, but Ewing denies him entry into the paint, and Elton closes. Gordon shoots a fade away no good from the low right block, but Deng grabs the offensive board. After a quick kickout to Hinrich, Deng gets it back on the left block against Corey. Wallace dives from the high post. Deng finds him and Ewing wisely fouls Wallace from Behind. Wallace converts one of two.
• [4th, 1:07] The Bulls bring it up down eight after Ewing hits that monster 3PFG on the other end. Hinrich gets it quickly to Gordon along the left perimeter. Ewing and Brand trap him up top. Gordon tries to sling it into Brown at the high left post, but the ball tips off Brown's hands. The ball rolls away and Ewing dives to the floor to recover it. Before the Bulls can descend on him, he calls timeout.
• [4th, 1:06] Down 10 now, Chris Duhon inbounds it into the frontcourt to Wallace. Wallace immediately hands it back to Duhon, who dribbles over to the left elbow. Hinrich cuts from the left corner. Duhon sets a hard screen on Mobley – Hinrich's guy – after he tosses the ball to Hinrich coming off that cut. Hinrich elevates for a 15 foot jumper, but Elton comes up to close. The shot is no good. Ewing grabs the loose rebound, Wallace immediately fouls him, and the Clippers have this one sealed.
With the exception of Thomas, who leaves the game in the third quarter after landing in the camera pool, nobody has a bad game. Kaman's line won't look like much, but his three blocks are key, and he plays a heady game, avoiding general boneheadedness all night. I know Hinrich has his fair share of makes, but I think Hart is effective on the perimeter. Mobley, Ross, and Maggette blanket the wings, and Elton does some solid work inside. Wallace picks up some baskets, but it's more important that Elton, Kaman, and Thomas deny Chicago's penetrators entry into the paint, and they are successful on that count.
Easily the best road win of the season. Tough, tough week ahead, so it's nice to bank this one.

Seller's Remorse
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 03/23/07, 07:52am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
Rick Telander from Wednesday's Chicago Sun-Times:
Maybe if Elton Brand didn't keep improving with age, it wouldn't be so painful. Maybe if the playoff-hopeful Bulls didn't need a player like Brand more than anything else, it wouldn't be so frustrating.
Maybe if the 28-year-old Los Angeles Clippers power forward wasn't such a classy, decent, hard-working, old-school kind of guy, it wouldn't be so hard for Chicagoans to take.But Brand started the game Tuesday against the Bulls at the United Center showing exactly the kind of quality player he is, and all the Bulls could do was think about what might have been. The Bulls' 103-89 loss was about sealed from the get-go...
Telander also contends that "[the Clippers] are going nowhere in the immediate future."

PROVIDENCE – Memorial Day weekend on Brown University's campus means one thing: Biding graduates adieu.
Come next Thursday, that same campus will roll out the welcome mat for its new men's basketball head coach. Those same sources say that the two remaining candidates for the job include Pawtucket native and current Brown interim coach T.J. Sorrentine along with Mike Martin, who played at Brown (Class of 2004) and is presently an assistant coach at Penn.
Which direction new Brown athletic director Jack Hayes ultimately decides to go in figures to be closely monitored in the days leading up to next Thursday's expected announcement. Will Hayes select Sorrentine, the man who's overseen the program since Jesse Agel was fired on March 5, or will Martin's ties to the Brown community win out? Certainly Jon Rothstein from CBSsports.com thinks that Martin has the job already based on the tweet he fired off earlier this week – "Penn assistant Mike Martin will be the next head coach at Brown."
Apparently Rothstein's tweet resulted in Hayes phoning Sorrentine to personally tell the former St. Raphael and Vermont standout that no official decision had been made. As far as the interview process, Sorrentine was given the option of either being the first candidate to be interviewed or the last.
If Martin is, indeed, the choice, what will happen to Sorrentine? Given that it's almost June, the chances of securing an assistant job at another Division I school appears remote. Then again, Sorrentine could play it safe and opt to remain at Brown, a course of action Preston Murphy followed when Dan Hurley took over at URI.
By the way, this Thursday will mark eight weeks since Hayes was announced as the Bears' new athletic director.
