prev | next
(a) Establishment
The Secretary shall establish a research and education program concerning integrated resource management and integrated crop management in order to enhance research related to farming operations, practices, and systems that optimize crop and livestock production potential and are environmentally sound. The purpose of the program shall be—
(1) to encourage producers to adopt integrated crop and livestock management practices and systems that minimize or abate adverse environmental impacts, reduce soil erosion and loss of water and nutrients, enhance the efficient use of on-farm and off-farm inputs, and maintain or increase profitability and long-term productivity;
(2) to develop knowledge and information on integrated crop and livestock management systems and practices to assist agricultural producers in the adoption of these systems and practices;
(3) to accumulate and analyze information on agricultural production practices researched or developed under programs established under this subchapter, chapter 86 of this title, [1] and other appropriate programs of the Department of Agriculture to further the development of integrated crop and livestock management systems;
(4) to facilitate the adoption of whole-farm integrated crop and livestock management systems through demonstration projects on individual farms, including small and limited resource farms, throughout the United States; and
(b) Development and adoption of integrated crop management practices
The Secretary shall encourage agricultural producers to adopt and develop individual, site-specific integrated crop management practices. On a priority basis, the Secretary shall develop and disseminate information on integrated crop management systems for agricultural producers in specific localities or crop producing regions where the Secretary determines—
(1) water quality is impaired as a result of local or regional agricultural production practices; or
(c) Development and adoption of integrated resource management practices
The Secretary shall, on a priority basis, develop programs to encourage livestock producers to develop and adopt individual, site-specific integrated resource management practices. These programs shall be designed to benefit producers and consumers through—
(1) optimum use of available resources and improved production and financial efficiency for producers;
(2) identifying and prioritizing the research and educational needs of the livestock industry relating to production and financial efficiency, competitiveness, environmental stability, and food safety; and
(d) Authorization of appropriations
There are authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture $20,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2013 through 2018.

You can read plenty about breakup day here and here,
but here's my take on some of the comments made by Coach John Tortorella and
the Rangers on the final day of the 2010-2011 campaign.
- Sure didn't sound like Chris Drury was in fear of being
bought out or considering retiring. Wojtek
Wolski seems to have even less value that Drury at this point and would provide
significant cap savings as well. Arthur
Staple of Newsday speculates that Wolski "will almost certainly be bought out."
- Obviously the organization is concerned with shuffling cash
for a busy summer ahead. Ryan Callahan,
Brian Boyle, and Brandon Dubinsky all expressed interest in getting their new
contracts done quickly, and the Rangers must also resign Artem Anisimov, Mike
Sauer, and maybe Matt Gilroy. Of course,
the organization is also expected to make a big run at UFA center Brad Richards of the Dallas
Stars. It sounds like only Ruslan
Fedotenko has a shot at being retained from the UFA group that includes Vinny Prospal, Steve
Eminger, Bryan McCabe, and obviously Alex Frolov.
- Henrik Lundqvist, obviously crushed by the loss, is clearly
aware that he's getting older. Hank
still seems like he's in great shape and isn't necessarily due for a decline
soon, but Lundqvist justifiably wants to start winning now. The play of the Rangers' top four D down the
stretch was surely encouraging, but Lundqvist is surely frustrated by the lack
of offensive support.
- John Tortorella indicated that Sean Avery will get a chance
to compete for a spot during the lineup at training camp, but clearly Avery's
tenure with the Rangers is nearing an end. He's probably untradeable, but it's possible the Rangers would consider
buying him out. If Avery is here next
year, it will be in a similar capacity. Tortorella just doesn't trust him, and Avery will likely be a healthy
scratch frequently during the last year of his deal.
- Everyone seems fully convinced that the Rangers will be
making a big run at Richards. Tortorella
has repeatedly mentioned that the Rangers must upgrade their talent and Marian
Gaborik was very open about desiring a top center to play with. Andrew Gross wrote a great article that explained how these Rangers may have maxed out on their talent. That seems like a fair assessment of the
season. The Blueshirts put in the
nightly effort to get this far, but without an infusion of offensive ability,
it's unlikely that New York
will be able to get much beyond the first round. You simply can't expect another 20-goal
season from Brian Boyle. The free agent
market is very weak, and while it's possible that GM Glen Sather will pursue a
trade, Richards seems like the primary target.
- Still a little surprised that Marian Gaborik is playing in
the World Championships. Seems to me
that if injuries have really been the problem, he should be doing everything he
can to heal and get ready for next year. If injuries aren't Gabby's issue and he's just not the same player, then
his contract will become an even bigger burden than it already is.
- Love this quote from Brandon Dubinsky, "I want them, they
want me. Let's not waste each other's time." Dubi's last contract negotiations were anything but smooth, but he's
established himself as a much more reliable player now. I expect the two sides to come to an
agreement very quickly.
- The gruesome details of Dan Girardi's injury are now public
knowledge, and the defenseman is certainly deserving of the extra praise from
Tortorella over the last couple days. Girardi
was evidently very proud of Tortorella's comments and that's good. A horse defenseman like that who constantly sacrifices
his body for the team won't usually make headlines, but he should be
acknowledged by his coach.

City Council gave a prickly reception Monday night to loaning $14.4 million in city half-cent tax revenue for building an exhibition hall onto the Pueblo Convention Center.
Officials from the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce, Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority and the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo asked for the loan, saying Pueblo could lose its state-approved Regional Tourism Act grant if the city doesn't provide financing by the end of December.
The RTA grant would let the city keep about $43 million in state sales tax revenue over the next 50 years — money the city, the chamber, PURA and HARP want invested in a new exhibition hall, water park, parking structure and boathouse Downtown.
Private financing for the $14.4 million exhibition hall hasn't materialized and the civic partners now want council to loan that money from the half-cent sales tax revenue that voters have dedicated to recruiting new primary jobs. The fund has close to $40 million.

Contrary to popular belief, having more than one credit card is actually beneficial to your credit health. One of the most important factors in determining your credit score is your credit utilization ratio, pictured on the right. In fact, it makes up 30% of your credit score.
The lower your credit utilization ratio, the more of a positive impact it has on your credit score. In order to keep a low credit utilization ratio, the amount of debt that you owe must be significantly smaller than the amount of credit you have available. In general, if you want to have an excellent credit score, we recommend keeping your credit utilization ratio below 30%. Keeping it around 10% is even better.
This is where the benefit of multiple credit cards comes in.
The more credit cards you own, the more available credit you have under your name, making it easier to keep your utilization ratio low. Keep in mind that you can have a high ratio even if you pay your balance in full every month. The credit cards report your current balance (often your statement balance) and available credit to the bureaus each month. So if you only have one card, your balance is $8,000 and your credit limit is $10,000, you'll have an 80% utilization ratio, even if you pay your balance in full. If you add another card with a $10,000 limit and still spend $8k per month between the two cards, your ratio will go down to 40%, providing a large boost to your credit score.
Apply for credit cards you have a better chance of being approved for.
Every time you apply for a new credit card, a hard inquiry shows up on your credit report. While hard inquiries do have a minor negative effect on your credit score, this negative impact is small and short-term. Compared to the big positive impact of lowering your credit utilization ratio, the effect of hard inquiries is quite miniscule.
When you apply for credit cards, first make sure that you are applying for a card that you have a good chance of being accepted for. While credit cards that require "excellent" credit usually look for credit scores over 700 and often 750, there are great credit cards that just require a "good" credit score, which may be as low as 650. Not only will obtaining one of these credit cards lower your credit utilization ratio and boost your credit score, but a lot of these credit cards also offer stellar rewards.
Here are some of our top choices (if you're not sure of your credit scores, you can get them for free — as well as a detailed explanation — by signing up for a free trial of one of our top-ranked credit monitoring services.)
Best credit card for good credit:
Chase Freedom | APPLY NOW
Offering 0% for the first 15 months on both purchases and balance transfers, this Chase credit card is just as good or better than most cards targeting those with "excellent" credit, making it our top choice for those with just "good" credit. On top of letting you pay no interest for over one year, it offers great cash back rewards like receiving $100 cash back after spending $500 in the first 3 months. Plus, you will earn cash back on all of your purchases — 5% cash back on purchases in rotating quarterly categories and 1% cash back on everything else. With no annual fee, this credit card is the perfect tool to add to your credit arsenal — boost your credit score and earn cash while doing so.
Best credit card for average credit:
Barclaycard Rewards Mastercard | APPLY NOW
If your credit is just average (usually considered somewhere between 600 and 680), no worries, the Barclaycard Rewards Mastercard is another great option for boosting your credit score while earning rewards. This credit card offers a 0% APR for the first 6 months on purchases and balance transfers, no annual fee and cash back rewards. You can earn 2 points per $1 spent on gas, grocery and utility purchases, and 1 point per $1 on all other purchases. Plus, you can earn 2,500 points after your first purchase or balance transfer. Because this card is for those with average credit scores, the variable purchase APR does jump to 24.99% after the 6 month introductory period. However, if you're boosting your credit score by lowering your credit utilization ratio with multiple credit cards, you may soon boost your credit score enough to get a credit card in the "good" or "excellent" category. Also, if you use the card to earn rewards and pay back your balance each month, you will not be paying any interest anyways.
Best cash rewards credit card:
BankAmericard Cash Rewards
If you have excellent credit and being approved isn't a worry, then why not improve your credit score while earning cash? BankAmericard Cash Rewards is our favorite option for cash back cards because you can earn a $100 cash rewards bonus after spending at least $500 in purchases in the first 90 days. Indefinitely, you can earn 1% cash back on purchases, 2% at grocery stores and 3% on gas for the first $1,500 in combined grocery store and gas purchases each quarter. Add in the 0% APR for 12 months on purchases and balance transfers, plus no annual fee, and this card is superb all around.
It's also important to note that a longer credit history reflects better on your credit score. Because of this, new credit users should not open new credit accounts too rapidly. As we mentioned, having more than one credit card lowers your credit utilization ratio and is great for your credit score, but this doesn't mean you should open three credit cards all at once — slow and steady wins the race.

Our Walk Champion:
In 1985, Sandy Dickson visited Doctor Alan Epstein with stomach problems, a doctor's visit that would change her life. Later that year at a follow-up appointment with Dr. Epstein test results showed the beginning stages of cirrhosis. Sandy lived a healthy lifestyle and was sure her choices would continue to keep her healthy. In 2010, Sandy returned to Dr. Epstein as her health had become significantly worse. Medicine was prescribed but was not enough to fix the scarring of her liver that had remained untreated. After three years Sandy's condition only worsened and had progressed to the point where a transplant was her only option. On December 19, 2013 she was rushed to the hospital and surrounded by her family, the hospital priest administered last rites as her liver was shutting down. In the middle of the night a nurse delivered life changing news: a liver was found and was a perfect match. Papers were quickly signed and Sandy was rushed into surgery. She awoke three days later on Christmas. Sandy's family is so thankful for their Christmas miracle! Today Sandy is healthy, happy, and above all, thankful. She is grateful for Dr. Epstein who stood by her side from the beginning, for her family for supporting her, and to her donor, although sad that a life was lost to save another, Sandy would not be here with us today without that generosity. Sandy is a survivor and our champion!

From 1994. Throughout its history, Omaha's near north side has been the neighborhood that succeeding generations of immigrants have moved into and moved out of eventually, until protective real estate practices forced blacks to stay. The history of the community includes lynching,riots and discrimination. It also includes a vibrant community with jazz and shops and entrepreneurs. With the recent emphasis on multicultural education, this program tells an important, but little-known story of Nebraska history.

The Lord said to Moses: Speak to the Israelite people and instruct them to make for themselves fringes on the corners of their garments throughout the ages; let them attach a cord of blue to the fringe at each corner. That shall be your fringe; look at it and recall all the commandments of the Lord and observe them, so that you do not follow your heart and eyes in your lustful urge. Thus you shall be reminded to observe all my commandments and be holy to your G-d. I the Lord am you G-d, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your G-d: I, the Lord your God.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
A decade ago I was a reporter at this paper and I remember the anger and concern almost everyone in the area showed when the state legislature redistricted the state house seats and Carbon ended up being divided between two districts in the process.
People griped about it at meetings, they complained on the street and we had letters to the editor that called the legislature all kinds of names.
Now 10 years later there is a new census and another legislative committee is once again at it. This time they have the web to rely on for peoples input. People can even submit their own maps.
Still the decisions made, despite the visual proof that people want things done differently, will be made politically. The legislators who sat in front of the the extremely small crowd on Saturday afternoon said they were after the best solutions. I believe them.
Only question is who they are thinking of for that decision?
It's easy to pick on the legislators because they have to make public choices. But in this column I am going to pick on someone else: citizens.
Only 22 people (and two of them were legislators who were not on the committee, one was a county commissioner from Carbon, one was a county commissioner from Uintah County and then there was one person from the fairgrounds staff, and myself) were in the audience. The people who were there were well spoken and no one got mad. They made their point.
But numbers would have been nice to show legislators that we really care what they do.
Instead, little Grand County (with a population of less than half ours) almost doubled the number of people attending a similar meeting in Moab that very same morning.
Citizens absense from this meeting showed something, but I am not sure what it was. It may have showed that citizens really don't care. It may have showed that they had better things to do on a warm Saturday afternoon than listen to what many of them consider political maneuvering. It may have said that many people don't think their being there could have or would have made a difference. Or maybe it said that we are satisfied with the way things have gone, and even it if changes again, it won't matter.
One, all these things or even other things may be the answer.
There were seats for maybe 300 people set up; I know I expected a crowd after all the bitching and moaning that went on about "gerrymandering" 10 years ago.
The fact is that by not showing up, each person who was not there made a statement as loud as they would have if they had been there and spoke into the microphone.
And I'm sure the politicians got the point.

Ogdensburg resident Charles E. Lakes eyes were just beginning to glisten Thursday as he stood at the podium at City Hall.
Mr. Lake, 81, of 1022 Congress St., had just received the Bronze Star for meritorious service for his U.S. Army duties in the Korean War in 1950.
The medal, presented to Mr. Lake by U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, in a City Council chamber packed at midday with friends and family, came more than 62 years late because of lost service records and bureaucratic delays.
But the U.S. governments tardiness didnt seem to matter.
It makes me excited, Mr. Lake said. Im happy to be here.
Mr. Owens, who was called on two years ago to help dismantle the bureaucratic boondoggle that Mr. Lake was encountering, thanked the veteran for his service to his country.
Not to mention his perseverance and patience.
I think its a tremendous act on your part, the congressman told Mr. Lake. I thank you.
Mr. Lakes daughter, Kim A. Goulden, and her husband, Gary, traveled from their home in North Carolina to be at the ceremony that she worried would never take place.
This is great, Mrs. Goulden said, holding a bouquet of flowers that was presented to her. We kind felt it wouldnt happen.
Donald F. Burns, of 1021 Congress St., was delighted for his friend and neighbor.
I think its great, Mr. Burns said. Its just too bad that it took so long to get the paperwork out. But sometimes, thats normal.
Mr. Lake was an infantryman in the Army 21st Regiment, 3rd Battalion, 24th Division, Company K. He suffered 120 shrapnel wounds and lost an eye in battle.

text: A Wellington city firefighter surveys the area near a motor vehicle accident on Tuesday morning on Utah Highway 123 approximately two miles from U.S. Highway 6. The Jeep Cherokee, driven by Sunnyside resident Jase Spencer, age 27, was traveling east toward Highway 6 when witnesses say the driver veered into the eastbound lane, in front of a coal truck. Reports indicate the driver of the coal truck swerved to avoid collision, but the SUV reportedly struck the back of the first coal trailer, sending the vehicle into a roll. A spokesperson for Utah Highway Patrol said neither Jace nor the other adult passenger, Rachael Spencer, were wearing seatbelts and both were ejected from the vehicle as it rolled. The third passenger, a 2-year-old in the back seat, was in a child seat and belted in, said the spokesperson. Jase was transported to Castleview Hospital and later taken by helicopter to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. Rachael was reportedly killed as a result of the accident. The 2-year-old is reported to be in good condition, and was treated for minor injuries.

Taking the fright out of buying a car
By Guest Blogger on February 28, 2011 at 9:26 AM
Being a 20-something and recently out of college, I haven't had a lot of experience making big purchases. However, my current car is going through a seemingly never-ending series of repairs, and I'm thinking the time has come to invest in a new car. While the thought of buying a new (or used) shiny car […]

Part i: An overview
Cherokee Indians once occupied an area encompassing approximately 140,000 square miles that became parts of North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. The Cherokee thrived in North Carolina well into the late eighteenth century, but as Euro-American settlers steadily moved into and near Cherokee lands, sharp conflicts arose between Cherokees and whites and between Cherokees themselves, as leaders with competing claims to speak for the tribe secured treaties and formed other agreements with white settlers that were not acknowledged by all Cherokee people. In 1838-39, the U.S. government forcibly removed the Cherokee from their lands in North Carolina, leading them on the infamous Trail of Tears to the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). A small number of Cherokee people successfully resisted removal, however, by claiming North Carolina citizenship and by maintaining the right to remain on lands they owned. These people and their descendants were recognized in 1868 by the federal government as the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. In the early 2000s these Cherokee, living on the Qualla Boundary in the western part of the state, were the only Indian tribe in North Carolina fully recognized by the federal government. The tribe has more than 13,000 enrolled members.

My father raised me believing I was of Cherokee heritage and way of life. Imagine my hurt when a man with proof of being my half brother after 60 says he has proof I am not. I feel ashamed to have presented myself as such. I also feel a lost in my beliefs. Want to apologize to a great people and ask forgiveness

AMHERST, N.Y. - Thousands of people are in town this weekend for the 2013 New York State Amateur Hockey Association State Championships taking place at the Northtown Center.
It's an annual two week tradition that brings youth hockey players from around the state to Amherst to try and win the state championship.
Beginning next year, the tournament will have even more ice to possibly choose from as the HARBORcenter project in downtown Buffalo takes shape.
The new center will be state of the art, with two new NHL sized rinks, parking, a restaurant, hotel and even shopping.
But, is there enough hockey to go around to support the existing facilities and the new one being built in Buffalo?
Tournament organizers think so.
Amherst Youth Hockey Board Member, Bob Schell, believes only good can come from a new facility being built downtown.
"The more quality facilities we have in Buffalo, the more people will end up here in the future," Schell said.
Schell says while attendance in Amherst is impressive over the two week period, it would never be the success it is without the 150 volunteers who work countless hours.

California State University Gets High Marks in Latest PPIC Poll, But Continued Budget Cuts Cause For Concern
CSU Gets High Marks in PPIC Poll, But Continued Budget Cuts Cause Concern
Claudia Keith (562) 951-4800
(November 12, 2009) – In the latest higher education poll released today by the Public Policy Institute of California, Californians gave high marks to the state's public higher education systems, but are concerned about the effect of continued state budget cuts and college affordability. The California State University was rated as excellent or good by 61 percent of those surveyed, and more than two-thirds said they view college as necessary. However, while 69 percent said they place a very high or high priority on spending for education, a majority were unwilling to raise student fees or pay higher taxes.
"The California Dream of a higher education is disappearing. We are grappling with the results of massive budget cuts and unfortunately have been faced with little choice but to raise student fees and decrease enrollment," said California State University Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "The PPIC poll confirms that the public values higher education, however you cannot continue to operate the largest public university system in the country and offer students a quality education when your budget gets cut by 20 percent in one year. We have had to do all of the things that the public doesn't want– raise fees, cut enrollment, reduce class offerings and furlough our employees."
This week, CSU announced that it has cut 4,000 students from its fall 2009 enrollment, and expects that number to rise to 10,000 by spring 2010. In addition, the CSU is slashing enrollment by another 30,000 students for fall 2010 to match student enrollment with the amount of funding received from the state. At the same time, demand to attend the CSU is at an all time high as the number of applications received is running 53 percent ahead of last year's totals, with community college transfer applications up by 127 percent. Freshmen applications are up by about 32 percent over the same time period last year.
The PPIC poll indicated that many Californians see a college degree as increasingly difficult to attain (65 percent), and more than two-thirds of residents say that many qualified people lack the opportunity to go to college.
"We are experiencing this first hand at the CSU since we know that not all eligible students will be able to get into the CSU of their choice, but we must limit access out of necessity," said Reed.
According to the poll, a strong majority of Californians (67 percent) support the idea of a sliding scale for tuition and fees, as well as increased government funding for work-study and grants and scholarships.
"More than half of CSU students receive financial aid," said Reed, "and we are the largest recipient of Pell awards (which go to the neediest students) in the entire country. It is time for the federal government to reexamine how federal assistance is distributed so that institutions that serve needy students are adequately supported. As it stands now, universities with few students of color and income need receive unnecessary federal financial aid."
As part of its annual budget process, next week the CSU's board of trustees will consider the system's budget request to the legislature and governor for 2010-2011, and is expected to ask for an additional $884 million from the state. Calling it a "recover and reinvest" budget, CSU is asking the state to restore funding for one-time cuts of $305 million, as well as an additional $579 million for mandatory cost increases, enrollment growth, compensation increases, and a restoration of revenues to fund collective bargaining agreements with CSU's employee labor unions. Included is also revenue needed to "buy out" a 10 percent student fee increase.
About the California State University
The California State University is the largest system of senior higher education in the country, with 23 campuses, approximately 427,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff. The CSU awards about 99,000 degrees annually and since its creation in 1961 has conferred nearly 2.6 million. The CSU is renowned for the quality of its teaching and for the job-ready graduates it produces. The mission of the CSU is to provide high-quality, affordable education to meet the ever changing needs of the people of California. With its commitment to excellence, diversity and innovation, the CSU is the university system that is working for California.

Each year the Devereux Beneto, Kanner and Whitlock centers seek the help of the community in providing a happy holiday to the children and adults in their care. For a variety of reasons, some of their boys and girls, and ladies and gentlemen, are without loved ones who can provide presents or who are even available to share the holiday season. With the current economic situation, Devereux is finding even more individuals than ever before in need of love and attention this year. This year Devereux of SE Pennsylvania received an amazing abundance of help from many kind-hearted friends - some old, and many new. There was a very significant increase in the number of corporate and private donors who contacted Devereux to participate in our annual Holiday Helper Program. Donations from local corporations included: brand new coats from Operation Warm, Inc; individual gifts for twenty Beneto teenage girls from the Klein Company; 250 huggable stuffed dogs from Jared: The Galleria of Jewelers; delightful toys for the children in the Beneto acute-care Children's Behavioral Health Center and for the children in the Phoenixville community from Toys For Tots; and a whole truck full of unbelievable gifts from Vanguard, through the Delaware Valley Children's Charity, for the boys at the Beneto - Brandywine campus. Additionally there were many wonderful individuals who took each child or adult wish list and thoughtfully shopped for their special gifts. Additionally there were special holiday activities at several of the centers. In late November the Whitlock Tom Stein Creative Arts Center presented their Third Annual Open House and Art Show, and on December 18th the Kanner Center held their Annual Family Luncheon and Holiday Show. The caring staff of all three centers go to great lengths to celebrate the many holiday traditions, such as Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, reflected in the cultures of our staff and individuals. Such experiences enrich the holiday season and broaden the awareness of all on our campuses. Devereux would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the wonderful friends and corporations who worked so tirelessly to make this a joyful and wonderful holiday for our children and adults.

Is it the hammer is what stuck? Like you cant pull back the slide or take it off.
Posted 27 May 2012 - 12:57 PM
i found that when my slide locks, its because the recoil spring slips off the barrel. simply pull the recoil rod towards the front of the gun, and let it push back on the spring while guiding it towards the top of the slide. this might work,

Video: DMV Hopes Printing Problem Is Solved
ALBANY, NY - The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles is alerting affected motorists that it has "identified a defect in the registration documents supplied by a vendor" which had prevented the printing of most registrations and window stickers ordered starting January 1, 2013.
In letters sent to affected customers, the DMV does not identify the defect or indicate how long a delay those affected by the problem may face in receiving their documents.
However, a DMV spokesperson described the problem in an e-mail to WGRZ-TV as a batch of registration documents from a vendor which were not processing through the DMV's high speed printers, thus making them unusable. The specific problem, she said, has yet to be identified.
As a pro-active step, letters were sent to 60,000 customers to assure them that their registration transaction has been processed and their vehicle's registration were in full force and effect. According to Jackie McGinnis of the DMV Office of Communications in Albany, the expense of mailing those letters will be assumed by the vendor.
She added that the vendor had since sent a replacement batch of registration documents which seemed to be printing just fine, and that on Monday the DMV was able to print and mail approximately 10,000 registration documents.
DMV says it has also notified all police agencies and courts of this issue, and advises motorists who received the letter to keep it in their vehicle for presentation to law enforcement should they be stopped, until such time that they receive their new registration documents.
While the 60,000 notifications sent may seem like a large number, McGinnis noted it only represents one half of one percent of 11 million motor vehicles registered in New York State.
Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs, who says the state made his office aware of the issue in advance, also took the opportunity to remind motorists that they also have the option to renew their registrations locally.
"I want to assure residents that it does not impact any of the registration documents issued in any of the Erie County Auto Bureaus," said Jacobs, who hastened to add that renewing your vehicle registration through the local Auto Bureau or utilizing the signature green-postage paid envelopes, can generate up to $1.5 million in additional revenue for the county.
Jacobs also said if motorists who possess the letter are still worried about potential problems, they could have a temporary registration issued at any local DMV office with no additional charge.

LynnA Super ProductThis product was first purchased on board a cruise ship this past February. The leave-in conditioning treatment I had been using was no longer being made, so I had been looking for a replacement product for a long time. This product fit the bill...it softens, conditions, and protects hair from sun damage. I was thrilled with the results and ordered two more tubes once I returned home. It has made a huge difference in the appearance and texture of my hair. If you have colored your hair and find that it seems out of condition, try this product. It is terrific!1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

LisaExcellent ProductMy hair is colored red, which is the fastest fading color. I purchased this product in hopes that it would make my color last longer. It did exactly that. It is a creamy formula that doesnt way the hair down or leave it with a residue. I can honestly say that my hair color has lasted twice as long since I started using this product. Whereas my red would start to fade within 2 weeks prior to using this product, it doesnt start fading until week 4 or 5! Since it is pricier, I stop using it about a week or so before my next color since my hair will be recolored. Even in that week that I am not using it, I notice that my color fades a lot more!3 out of 3 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

PAWTUCKET — Tommy Harper always seems to enjoy his visits to McCoy Stadium. Granted, his capacity as Red Sox minor-league consultant explains why he comes around, yet watch this proud 72-year-old during batting practice and it's apparent that he still has an appetite for the game.
Most of the time, Harper will rest his arms on the green padding and attentively watch as the PawSox batters rotate in and out of the cage. Sometimes he'll walk over to the on-deck area and make small talk with the ballplayers waiting their turn. Call such a scene the bridging of baseball's generation gap between a person whose last big-league game was 37 years ago conversing with a group of 20-somethings who would benefit from typing "Harper" into the player-search feature on baseball-reference.com.
"When I go down there and talk to young players, I only see what they're doing. I don't go by the stats or what other people are saying," Harper pointed out in an interview from this past weekend, one that took place inside the press box of his pseudo Columbus Ave. office.
During the stretch of August when Pawtucket played 15 of 19 games at home, Harper frequented McCoy more so than usual. It didn't take long for clues to surface regarding his modus operandi. Once batting practice was complete, Harper would enter the clubhouse and seek out Jackie Bradley Jr.
If the point Harper wished to convey contained few words, the rap session would take place near Bradley's locker. When the briefings included a deeper message, Harper would motion for Bradley to come out to the dugout. There, they could speak without having to worry about interruptions.
Harper admits that it was by design that he allowed for ample time to go by before seeking out Bradley, an outfielder who has experienced a whirlwind of a season. From garnering all sorts of hype during spring training to making Boston's Opening Day roster to maintaining a sense of rhythm amidst a myriad of call-ups, send-downs and multiple trips to Pawtucket's disabled list, the 23-year-old has been tested quite often.
Knowing this, Harper wanted Bradley to have a chance to catch his breath. Had Harper decided to walk into Bradley's life shortly after the latter was sent to Pawtucket following his 0-for-20 big-league slump in April, the former would have encountered a youngster who thanks to his polite nature would have been amenable to Harper's therapeutic intervention.
Given that Bradley's priority at that particular moment was to take measures to refine his approach in the batter's box, the promising player would have found himself drowning in a sea of information in relation to processing and compartmentalizing Harper's words of wisdom. The last thing Bradley needed was to suffer from memory overload, hence why Harper stayed away for as long as he did.
Bradley has been sole property of the PawSox since July 18 and figures to remain in manager Gary DiSarcina's care until the conclusion of the Governors' Cup playoffs. As the regular season in the minors began drawing to a close and the idea of Bradley returning to the Red Sox in September started to gather traction, Harper deemed it was finally appropriate approach Bradley.
"I've watched Jackie from a distance. I just felt that with all the attention coming out of spring training, you have give a player time to adjust," said Harper. "So much attention and so many things are going through his mind. It's better to back off and let him get acclimated to Triple A before going up to him and asking how he thinks his season has gone.
"Sometimes adversity is good for young people in terms of, 'You know what? I got to the big leagues, but there's still some things I need to learn,'" Harper added. "You make mistakes in the big leagues and the manager will take you out of the game, not to mention they're way more costly then when you're developing in Triple A or Double A."
Bradley is well aware that Harper held off as long as he possibly could before breaking the ice.
"I think he just wanted to wait until all the hoopla calmed down a little bit," Bradley expressed about his 1-on-1 dealings with Harper. "It was just a precautionary thing. He wanted to make sure I was settled and ready to have more instruction."
As a coach with a specific concentration in baserunning, Harper can instantly tell if a young player is responsive to the guiding hand a person in his position is able to provide. If a player starts to ask questions or offer his interpretation on why he believes a certain play went a certain way, then Harper knows that he's getting through.
"I like players who have a conversation and give feedback as to what they were thinking. As a coach, you have no idea what the player is thinking. Plus, if players didn't make mistakes, then there would be no need for coaches," said Harper, who registered 20 or more stolen bases in 11 of his 15 big-league seasons. "I can feel it when a player is not receptive. I can sense it. Personally, it doesn't bother me because it's his career. I'm only here to try and help him out. My bubble gum card is complete."
Once the point/counterpoint portion of the dialogue has concluded, it's Harper's turn to set the record straight.
"You then explain that this is what we want. Things change as the game progresses. The same hitter is not always behind you in the order. For example, you get on with no outs. You're still there with two outs. Your strategy changes because the hitter is now David Ortiz. It's not (Shane) Victorino, who hits home runs but not that many," he said. "It's just like playing the outfield. You're going to be positioned differently based on certain hitters. You're not going to stand in the same spot the whole time.
"You have to have a baseball sense. You can read Ted Williams' book on hitting, but that doesn't mean that you're going to learn how to hit. You have to have some kind of ability and talent," Harper continued. "What I try to give players is a little push. You try and eliminate the mistakes before they happen. It's like taking medicine. You're trying to get better."
To that end, Harper has had nothing but pleasant dealings with Bradley.
"He goes about his business and gets his work in. Very receptive to coaching. I wasn't really surprised by his personality," were some of Bradley's non-baseball traits that resonated almost instantaneously with Harper. "He's a college kid. It helps to polish your game because you have a lot more experience. The college kids are far more advanced and mature than the high school kids."
What are Harper's early returns on Bradley following his first-ever extensive look at a player who starred at the University of South Carolina? On some levels, Bradley reminds Harper of where Jacoby Ellsbury stood development-wise as he neared fulltime duty in the majors.
"There's a lot of little things to work on to get him ready for next year. That goes with any player. For example, (Xander) Bogaerts has a shorter swing, so he's less apt to make mistakes. Jackie has a long swing, so he's got to harness that. It doesn't mean he's right or wrong. It's that you've got to learn to generate bat speed, but not be long," Harper pointed out. "Did Jacoby have that same problem? Yes he did."
While Bradley isn't exactly Ellsbury on the base paths – he's successfully stolen bases at a 50 percent rate for Pawtucket (7-for-14) – Harper believes that Bradley possesses the necessary instincts that could make him more of a threat.
"You can steal 20 bases if you watch the counts. They're going to throw a lot of balls in the dirt on certain counts to certain hitters. That's when you've got to study your own hitters," Harper expressed. "You can steal bases by running on the right count."
One thing is certain: Harper will be tracking Bradley's career trajectory following a season that's featured plenty of important career firsts.
"It's just hard to say who is a surefire big-league player, but what I know is that Jackie has the ability to play," said Harper. "Whether or not he's going to be up there in 10 years, I don't know. That will be up to him."

It's reveling in our everyday life. Making a living, not a killing. Reorganizing our lives on a human scale. Dreaming how we want our lives and our world to be. We're named for the classic film by Luis Buñuel. And like that film, we say, "Just open the door."

(a) The United States shall furnish to an employee who is injured while in the performance of duty, the services, appliances, and supplies prescribed or recommended by a qualified physician, which the Secretary of Labor considers likely to cure, give relief, reduce the degree or the period of disability, or aid in lessening the amount of the monthly compensation.

These expenses, when authorized or approved by the Secretary, shall be paid from the Employees' Compensation Fund.
(b) The Secretary, under such limitations or conditions as he considers necessary, may authorize the employing agencies to provide for the initial furnishing of medical and other benefits under this section.

America's involvement in covert warfare in Syria is becoming more well known as the Associated Press, among other mainstream media, has begun reporting about U.S. training and arming of Syrian rebel fighters, other than the leading Free Syrian Army rebel group.
Officials who spoke on conditions of anonymity have indicated that the training of Syrian rebels is being run by American intelligence, as well as British and French. The AP noted that the CIA has been helping facilitate the distribution of weapons to such groups for over a year.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters Monday,
[The United States has] provided some logistical nonlethal support that has also come in handy for the Syrian rebels who are, again, fighting a regime that is not hesitating to use the military might of that regime against its own people. That is something we're going to continue to work to bring to an end.
But there is increasing evidence that the "rebels" are not very different from the regime they are attempting to overthrow. For instance, rebel groups have been guilty of terroristic activities, such as the four suicide bombings in Aleppo last October that killed approximately 40 civilians and wounded many more.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration has not been forthcoming with details on the extent of U.S. military training of the rebels, and has insisted that it is not providing them with weapons, though there are a number of reports contrary to that assertion.
AntiWar.com reports that while the United States is not sending American weapons directly to the rebels, they continue indirectly to help the opposition forces obtain weapons. It writes, "The smuggling has been going on for nearly a year now, with the GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] nations, particularly Qatar and Saudi Arabia, leading the way in sending arms to Turkey, where the CIA sees to it they find their way to the border crossings."
