Area business owners looking to hook the hordes of fishing enthusiasts expected to attend the Bassmaster Elite Tournament in August can learn tips to lure them in next month.
The St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce is offering classes to help businesses better cater to anglers and the tourists who will come watch the action.
Were expecting thousands of visitors to our county in August, Executive Chamber Director Patricia L. McKeown said. People want to know about how this tournament is going to benefit the county. The chamber feels strongly that the way to maximize this golden opportunity is to provide as much information as possible to our businesses so they can capitalize on these opportunities.
The classes will be hosted by Ruby J. Sprowls, a marketing specialist and customer service expert.
Mrs. Sprowls said the classes, titled The Business of the Bassmasters, will focus on what visiting anglers need, building good customer service, and developing a strong return-customer philosophy.
For example, restaurants and gas stations might consider opening at 5 p.m. or earlier to accommodate anglers before check-in, Mrs. Sprowls said.
The class will also cover entertaining their families, Mrs. Sprowls said.
Many families will be searching for something to do for the several hours after check-in time and before weigh in, she said. They might want to go to spa, see some local sites or go shopping.
The classes are open to all businesses in the area.
The most important thing to think about is what the possibilities are, Mrs. Sprowls said. The north country is unique. We dont have just one giant strip mall where the stores are congregated all in one area, so that will spill over to Ogdensburg, Potsdam, Canton and even Franklin County.
The classes are scheduled 1 to 4 p.m. June 5, at the Dobisky Visitors Center, 100 Riverside Ave., Ogdensburg, from 1 to 4 p.m. June 12 in Potsdam at the Village of Potsdam Community Room, 18 Elm St., 2nd Floor, and from 1 to 4 p.m. June 19 in location yet to be determined in Massena.
Classes are limited to 25 people. Contact the chamber at 386-4000 to reserve a spot.

|Fifty years ago this month, the word 'pheromones' was first used in the scientific literature to describe the chemicals used to communicate between individuals of the same species. In this segment, we'll take a look at the field of pheromone research, from Peter Karlson and Martin Lüscher first proposing the term 'pheromones' in 1959, to current investigations into whether pheromones play a role in humans.

The Pantry, Inc., the leading independently operated convenience store chain in the southeastern United States, kicked off its "Salute Our Troops" campaign on Memorial Day. The campaign invited customers in more than 1,600 Kangaroo Express convenience stores across 13 states to demonstrate support for military personnel and their families.
The goal was to raise $1 million between Memorial Day and Labor Day, but that goal was met in the early weeks of the campaign.
The overwhelming response so early in the campaign inspired more donations through the summer. Those donations will support the USO, Wounded Warrior Project, and state-based military support organizations that benefit soldiers and their families in five states, including USO North Carolina.
"We are awed by the generosity and positive response from our guests, employees and vendor partners to this summer's 'Salute Our Troops' campaign. The growing enthusiasm and support to reach our goal so rapidly demonstrates how dedicated our communities are in supporting the men and women who serve our country," said John Fisher, senior vice president of The Pantry.
The Salute Our Troops Jeep Tour will travel throughout the southeastern United States, honoring local military heroes and families along the route.
"Kangaroo Express and USO have something in common. We both like to offer service with a smile. We're especially thankful to our friends at The Pantry for creating this summer-long campaign to support our service members and their families," said Sloan Gibson, USO president. *
President Barack Obama, who serves as honorary chairman of the USO, hosted the third consecutive Fourth of July USO concert for more than 1,200 troops, their families, and guests on the South Lawn of the White House. The concert featured first-time USO performers Train and Amos Lee. The "President's Own" U.S. Marine Band was also on hand for the celebration.
In addition to the concert, troops and their families enjoyed a barbecue, family games, and a prime spot for viewing the National Capital fireworks display. The celebration also paid tribute to the United States as she turned 235, as well as the service and sacrifice of today's troops and their families. *
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen conducted his 10th and final overseas USO entertainment tour between July 28 and August 3. He led an eclectic, star-studded, group of celebrities on this final tour including Hall of Fame forward Karl Malone, "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart -- joining the group for two days -- and illusionist David Blaine who entertained 4,000 deployed servicemen and women on the six-day tour to Germany, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Mullen previously led nine USO tours to 13 different countries, lifting the spirits of more than 74,300 troops since his appointment in 2007. He also has enlisted the support of 38 USO tour veterans, including Robin Williams, Kid Rock, Lewis Black, Lance Armstrong, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Drew Brees, Bradley Cooper, Anna Kournikova, and David Robinson. He has visited Spain, Italy, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bahrain, Germany, Ireland, Oman, Kosovo, the United Kingdom, Qatar, and Kyrgyzstan. *
Pringles, a part of the Procter & Gamble family, teamed up with the USO this Fourth of July to bring troops a real taste of home. The brand provided more than 43,000 cans of Pringles to USO centers to be distributed to deployed troops around the world in appreciation of their service.
The Pringles were produced in the Jackson, Tennessee, plant where employees have many family members and friends serving in the military.
"We are a family at Pringles," said Lisa Koester, human resource manager. "When one of our own is concerned about their loved ones, we all are. Providing our troops a taste of home is just a small way to remind [them] that we are thinking about them and appreciate all they do."
Pringles also produced a video, "Pringles Supports Our Troops: A Little Taste of Home," highlighting the stories of men and women who made the chips and the pride they had in producing the Pringles for the troops.
The video can be viewed at www.youtube.com/pringles4uso. *
When the curtain fell on CNN's award-winning Larry King Live, so did it fall on Carol Buckland's more than three decades in broadcast journalism.
During her career, the bulk of which was spent at CNN, Buckland helped inform the world through her involvement in the coverage of everything from news stories to movie reviews, politics, special events, and editorial research and preparation. During her tenure at CNN, she participated in two fellowships. The first gave her a front-row seat to observe the legislative process at work. The second took her to Japan where she examined the role of women in the news media.
But without the daily routine of bringing the news to the world, Buckland paused to consider the multitude of endeavors she could pursue to help fill her days.
"The end of Larry King Live and my departure from CNN left me with an abundance of free time as I pondered the 'next act' of my life," she said. "Having done various types of volunteer work in the past, I wanted to return to that type of giving back."
Buckland did just that. In April, she began vetting messages that supporters of the military shared through the Joining Forces program, of which the USO is a partner. It's her first experience as a USO volunteer and, as a communicator by training, she's grateful for the chance to help people communicate their gratitude and caring to the members of the military and their families.
"I have been sincerely moved by the many thousands of messages I've read," she said. "The senders range from grade schoolers to long-retired veterans, from flag-waving American citizens to residents of other nations."
And regardless of how long or short they are or what language they're in, the messages convey an important message to our troops, Buckland said.
"The people who take time to send these messages want U.S. forces to know they are cherished, remembered and supported," she said, adding that the writers' sentiment always comes through loud and clear.
Buckland currently has relatives serving and her brother was a career Army officer. She said she hopes to continue volunteering with the USO to demonstrate her support of all those who serve. "I want to show my heartfelt appreciation and admiration by serving them in some way," she said.
When she's not volunteering for the USO she authors romance novels and bakes and decorates tempting sweets. *
The Royal Treatment
Their Royal Highnesses, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, also known as William and Kate, took part in a care package assembling event at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles on July 10. In partnership with the USO and Blue Star Families, the Royal Couple helped create 1,000 "With You All the Way" deployment kits for military children.
Created by the Trevor Romain Foundation, the "With You All the Way" kits focus on the children of military families who have deployed parents, helping them prepare for deployment, stay connected during the separation, and plan for reintegration upon their return home.
Prior to the service project, the Royal Couple assisted ServiceNation: Mission Serve in conducting the organization's largest job fair for military veterans called "Hiring Our Heroes Los Angeles." The goal was to connect 1,500 veterans and their families with 200 prospective employers. ServiceNation: Mission Serve is a civilian-military initiative dedicated to bringing together civilian and military communities through service and volunteerism.
"The USO is extremely proud to be a partner in this very important effort to connect people who have served in the military, and their spouses, with potential employers," said Frank Thorp, USO senior vice president for marketing and communications.
"Stuffing 'With You All The Way' deployment kits as the service project for the event was perfect as it also reminded us of the challenges that children of our troops make when their moms and dads serve." *
UPCOMING EVENTS * V-J Day (Official Japanese Surrender WWII) is observed September 2 * Remember those lost September 11 * POW/MIA Recognition Day is September 16 * Wish Air Force Happy Birthday on September 18! * Operation Enduring Freedom began October 7, 2001 *
We would love to hear from you.

CANTON — Town resident Margaret A. Hockett held a book signing at Brewer Bookstore on Saturday afternoon to promote her first novel, "Taking Hart."
"I didn't know what to expect. This is my first signing," she said.
Several small groups gathered during the two-hour signing to hear Mrs. Hockett read excerpts from the novel, a modern thriller in which a teenager tries to uncover dangerous secrets from the War of 1812.
Debra L. Thornton, a former classmate of Mrs. Hockett, came from Toronto for the event.
"We went to school together," she said. "Margaret was always smart, artistic and creative.
Mrs. Hockett grew up in Edwards. She moved in 1984 to California, where she spent much of her career as an editor for the Critical Thinking Co., a publishing company that produces educational books and software. She returned to the north country in 2006, and now lives in Canton.
It was after returning to the area that she first had the idea for "Taking Hart," incorporating local history into an exciting story.
"I was looking at the fictional standpoint, which was kind of exciting. Then I saw all of the historical strands that I could weave in," she said.
She worked with a historian to make sure the stories from 1812 were historically accurate.
The book, written under the pseudonym M.A. Noble, is set in a fictional small town in the Thousand Islands, founded by privateers after the War of 1812. The story is filled with references to people and places in the north country, both modern and historic, real and fictional.
"People like to read about things they know about," Mrs. Hockett said.
Rather than working with a traditional publisher, Mrs. Hockett decided to self-publish the novel, producing it more quickly and releasing it in time for the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812.
The ebook became available on Amazon.com and elsewhere over the summer, and Mrs. Hockett is working through North Country Books Inc. to distribute the novel to local bookstores.
While her editing experience made self-publishing doable, Mrs. Hockett said, she needs to learn a lot about promotion and marketing before she can fully succeed as an author without a traditional publisher. This book signing was one of the first steps.
"I feel like I'm not doing nearly enough," she said.
She recently wrote and self-published a book based on her father's memories of growing up in St. Lawrence County during the 20th century, and is already at work on the sequel to "Taking Hart."

From the department of forgone conclusions: American GS ace Ted Ligety clinched his fourth World Cup GS title Sunday with a win in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia.
U.S. Ski Team ace Ted Ligety continues to have the best season of his career, moving into third place in the overall standings with wins in both GS and slalom at Adelboden, Switzerland. It was another weekend of great results for the U.S. Team:

Just over two weeks ago at World Cup finals in Lenzerheide, Switzerland the Squaw Valley, California native outdistanced her nearest challenger – Swiss favorite Lara Gut - by a colossal eighty-one hundredths of a second to claim the ladies downhill. For Mancuso, it was her first victory on tour in over four years dating back to March 3, 2007, when she won a downhill in Tarvisio, Italy.
The International Ski Federation announced today that it had selected Vail and Beaver Creek to host the men's and women's World Alpine Ski Championships in 2015.
The FIS ruling council selected the North American venues over Cortina, Italy, and St. Moritz, Switzerland, thus denying Europe its eighth consecutive Championships.

|Pioneers Face Must Win Tuesday Night.
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Monday, 28 March 2011 14:59
The Watauga High baseball team, which was scoring runs like they were going out of style at the beginning of the season, currently finds itself in quite a scoring drought.
The Pioneers (7-3 overall; 3-2 in the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference) have been leaving a lot of men on base in recent games. Their ineffectiveness really showed in last Friday night's 2-0 loss at Hickory. The Pioneers squandered numerous scoring chances, left nine men on base and they even hit into a double play that took the air out of what seemed like a big inning.

Mission to Log the Last of a Vanishing Geocache Series »
In theory this function sounds perfect for me, since I like caching by bike. But whenever I upload a gpx-file, to turn it into a route for a pocket query, the gpx-file gets over-simplified, the number of points is for example reduced from 500 to just 16!
This means that the route isn't very precise, so I need to use a larger search radius around the route, to make sure the route is covered, which defeats the point in having this function, since I would (being on bike) prefer only caches that are very close to my route.
Summary: It would be great if the uploaded gpx-files aren simplified anymore!

Tech Tips: Home Theater
A home theater will maximize your at-home viewing experience. Get some tips from the pros on how you can bring a piece of the big screen to your living room.
Home Theater Tips, Tricks and Links
Getting the most from your home theater.
One of the easiest ways to ensure that your home theater setup provides a premium viewing and listening experience is by using HDMI cable for connecting all the devices that make up your setup. HDMI cable is designed to deliver high-definition video signals and multiple audio soundtracks all through one cable.
Game in peace.
The surround sound system on your home theater is music to your ears – most of the time. But if you have gamers in the house, things can get loud and jarring… Did we mention loud? So what's one quick and easy way to cut the noise without compromising the gamer's aural experience? Surround sound headphones.
Feel the experience.
Want to shake to every T-Rex stomp in Jurassic Park or feel every groove in your favorite Bootsy Collins' bassline? Consider buying a butt shaker. A butt (or bass) shaker is a low-frequency device mounted to a chair or couch that enables the person sitting in it to feel rather than hear (at an overwhelming volume) the low end of bass in music and movies. They're relatively easy to connect and are compatible with most home theater setups.

MASSENA - Several staff members at Jefferson Elementary School are participating in an after-school reading group as part of their effort to focus on improving student literacy.
And on Friday, as a culminating experience, theyll hear first-hand from Peter H. Johnston, the author of Opening Minds, the book theyre currently reading.
Mr. Johnston, a Vincent OLeary professor, is in the Reading Department at the SUNY Albany, and has published 10 books and more than 80 articles.
In his current research, he investigates the consequences of teaching decisions, particularly language choices, for the kinds of literacy children acquire, how teachers and students build productive learning communities and the implications of focusing on engagement.
He is a faculty member from the SUNY Albany Literacy Department. He is a very important person in the field of literacy. For him to come to Jefferson is a very big deal, said Faith Bish, Jeffersons literacy specialist.
Opening Minds is designed to help teachers learn prompts they can take back to their classroom to use with students. SUNY Potsdam helped the school purchase the books for the schools teachers, who could elect to take part in the after-school group, according to Ms. Bish.
The group, which consists of Ms. Bish, Principal Duane Richard and 14 staff members, meets from 3:40 to 4:45 p.m., and snacks and child care are provided. The participants include teachers from junior kindergarten up to grade six, the school librarian and three special education teachers.
Its not something teachers are required to do. All the teachers got a copy of the book at the beginning of the year. Anyone that wanted to participate would receive credit toward their teacher certification. Numerous other teachers in the school have been reading the book, but havent been able to participate in the group, she said.
I feel like everybody in the group benefits from being a part of this because the sort of collaboration and discussion we have every week are very meaningful. People are coming together from all aspects of the school, and we all get the same message. We get a lot of good conversation, Ms. Bish said.
The reading group is one of several partnerships between Jefferson Elementary and SUNY Potsdam, Ms. Bish said.
We have a number of literacy initiatives going on right now at Jefferson Elementary School, she said.
Mr. Richards said some SUNY Potsdam students, who are studying to be teachers, come to Jefferson once a week for an after-school program.
They work with a group of students identified as maybe needing a little bit of extra support. Its literacy-based activities. Faith and Mary Russell really spearhead the after-school program, he said.
Other SUNY Potsdam students are getting ready to student teach, allowing them to experience the classroom environment that theyll eventually be teaching in. At the same time theyre assisting teachers who are dealing with the new Common Core curriculum this year, Mr. Richards said.
Its a win-win, he said. Were so lucky that we have this college near us. One of my goals is to tap into this wonderful resource that we have.
The reading group is an important part of the professional development experience for teachers, according to the principal, who said they plan to read other books once theyre finished with Opening Minds.
This partnership (with SUNY Potsdam) allowed us to purchase books and provide every teacher with the book Opening Minds, he said. This is just the beginning. For a number of years weve been toying with this idea. Some of our best staff development comes from our own teachers.

Huntsman Lecturer Tells of Unexpected Ethical Test
Editor's note: "When Theory Meets Practice - Stories From the Workplace" is a new feature in the Huntsman Post in which we invite professionals to share stories of challenging events that tested them with the unexpected.
By Alan Warnick, associate department head and principal lecturer
Several years ago, when I was a company's affirmative action officer, I found myself in an awkward position when I found out that company leaders wanted to know if a leading candidate for an open position was Jewish before they made their hiring decision.
Alan Warnick was faced with an unexpected ethical dilemma regarding a job candidate.
At the time, the company was recruiting a vice president of research. We had one candidate who really looked promising. He interviewed with a number of different vice presidents and then met with the president of the company. After the interview with the candidate, the president mentioned to me that the candidate had attended Brandeis University. The president asked me, "Isn't Brandeis a Jewish University?"
I told him that I had no idea. He let it go at that. Later on that day, the vice president of administration, who I worked for at the time, called me into his office and said, "The president wants you to find out whether this individual is Jewish or not."
This was a dilemma for me. I knew it was illegal to hire or not hire someone based on their religion. I also knew that the president of the company was not an easy man to challenge and that I would be in trouble if I refused to do this research.
I don't think either of them were thinking about whether or not it was legal to consider religion as a factor in the hiring process. This was a company where management just went after what it wanted and didn't think much about the consequences.
I thought about it for a minute and my response to the vice president's request was, "You do realize that I am the affirmative action officer of this corporation. If I do that and ever have to testify as to whether I found out what religion he is, you would not want me to have to be up on the stand. If I were faced with that situation, I would not lie. I just don't think that's something you really want me to do."
The VP thought about it for a minute and said, "You're absolutely right. I'll do it myself."
I couldn't believe how obtuse they were being about the legality of this approach. I was more shocked at the fact that they thought they could really get me to do something that was clearly illegal. And they didn't think it was unethical, even after I explained it to them; they still had no qualms about doing it. I just sat there thinking, "I can't believe this." That's one of the things that prompted me to leave the company.
I never heard anymore about it after that. I often wondered whether they followed through and did it. The candidate did not get hired, and the president said that he thought the candidate was way too methodical. The candidate smoked a pipe, and the president thought that was an indicator that he would not be an action-taker.
I learned from my experience in life that there are people who just don't think about the consequences of unethical choices. I also learned that you have to stand your ground. I think I communicated with them in the only way they would understand, by pointing out that they could lose a lawsuit if they picked a strategy that required me to lie under oath.
I never expected to deal with this kind of issue, but it helped me clarify in my own mind that I wasn't going to be pressured into doing anything illegal. If you know in advance where you stand, you are in a better position to do the right thing.

Sabic and Shell plan POSM, polyols projects; ponder petchem investments outside Saudi Arabia
November 12, 2012 | Natasha Alperowicz
Sabic and Shell Chemicals have confirmed CW's exclusive report that they plan to invest in propylene oxide-styrene monomer (POSM) and polyols plants in Saudi Arabia.

Sabic and Shell will conduct a feasibility study into the POSM and polyols projects before taking a final investment decision. Shell is expected to provide its technology for both plants.

Published as the cover story in Art in America, May 2012. For more information on Bove, contact Maccarone.
Carol Bove's considerable reputation rests upon more than a decade's worth of refined and culturally literate artworks. Her early sculptural installations, often taking the form of plinths or wall-mounted shelves laden with period books and knick-knacks, evoke memories of 1960s- and 1970s-era bohemianism, and the individual and societal soul-searching that accompanied the period's wrenching social transformations. That many viewers have no firsthand experience of that historical moment and know it only through publications, films, and other cultural objects is part of Bove's point. Born in 1971 in Geneva, Switzerland, and raised in Berkeley, Calif., she too experienced this cultural ferment at a remove, filtered as it was by the preferences of her parents and their milieu. Because of this, her ability to capture what seems like the essence of the era results as much from an understanding of how we construct history as from a feeling for the lived texture of the time. Her deft juxtapositions—of Playboy centerfold images, paperback copies of Eastern mystical writings and Western psychological treatises—both frame a worldview and reveal the act of framing.
Bove came to New York during the mid-1990s and graduated from New York University in 2000. She began exhibiting immediately thereafter, and her carefully calibrated arrangements of objects were widely acclaimed. In the ensuing years, Bove has broadened the range of materials she works with, the forms her artworks take, and the historical antecedents she repurposes. Though "the '60s" (a time not coterminous with the 1960s) remain a touchstone and one of the period's emblematic art movements, Minimalism, a preferred esthetic framework, today her art has been drained of much of its cultural specificity. Bringing together materials both luxurious (peacock feathers, gold chains) ad rough-hewn (driftwood, steel), Bove has elaborated an esthetic at once unique and capable of rehabilitating artistic precedents that have fallen into disfavor.
The artist works in a large studio a few blocks from the industrial waterfront in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The location is important: she scavenges urban detritus from her immediate environs, and produces work in collaboration with artisans whose machine shops are within walking distance of her building. At present she is working on her first two large-scale outdoor commissions. One sculpture will be exhibited in Kassel, Germany, from June 9 to September 16 as part of Documenta 13, curated by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev. The other will be presented later this year at a New York City location that is yet to be announced.
* * *
[Two excerpts from the middle of the interview]
SHOLIS What has it been like to scale up your work and, given the unpredictable circumstances of the setting, to build for contingencies?
BOVE It's totally, totally different from what I'm used to. Most of the time I'm very dependent upon everyone in the exhibition space taking care of the work, ensuring that no one touches things … and now I have to think about the work being rained on, or people climbing on it.
SHOLIS Is it difficult to accommodate yourself to that?
BOVE No, it has actually been stimulating to revisit my early experiences of outdoor sculpture, to realize how formative and exciting they were.
SHOLIS In the past you've mentioned childhood experiences playing with the Arnaldo Pomodoro sculpture on the Berkeley campus.
BOVE Yes, the sculpture garden at the Berkeley Art Museum was very important to me. It does not exist now—I think because of earthquake concerns. Anyway, later I had the idea that outdoor sculpture was simplistic because of its need to be accessible, and now I'm realizing how wrong I was about that. There is something fascinating about placing out in the world an object with no instrumental purpose, something provocative about the gesture.
SHOLIS How far have you traveled along a path from, on the one hand, artworks that require knowledge of cultural references to, on the other, artworks that are easily accessible?
BOVE In terms of how I conceive of the works' intellectual contexts, I don't think there's a big difference between my gallery shows and my new outdoor projects. In both instances I'm interested in the open-endedness of the situation. In an outdoor environment, especially one used for numerous other purposes, viewers' initial indifference requires something different of the artist, a novel way to hook people. The benefit, of course, is that viewers don't come to the work with preconceived ideas of what it should be or do. How can an artist communicate through a public artwork, even on an unconscious level? These are interesting questions to try to answer.
* * *
SHOLIS Can you discuss your relationship to Berkeley, where you grew up?
BOVE There are wonderful hills and parks in Berkeley, but I also always loved the city's more industrial areas.
SHOLIS Near the water?
BOVE Yes. Even as a teenager, making artworks—my juvenilia, I guess—I was really attracted to industrial districts. I collected rusty junk. Decades later I realized, "Oh, I'm still doing what I did as a teenager." The use I make of these materials is different but the impulse is consistent.
I have a kind of romantic attraction to liminal spaces. I feel they are underappreciated. They feel wild, and the lack of care for them is attractive to me. Somehow I identify it with 1930s-era Farm Security Administration photographs—shabby America.
SHOLIS So it's the atmosphere surrounding the materials more than the act of rescuing. You're not a hoarder?
BOVE [laughs] No, I'm not obsessive-compulsive. I'm not a collector; I don't like to hold on to things. I spend time with them and then allow them to continue their lives elsewhere.
SHOLIS Though it's a very carefully thought out path that you send them on.
BOVE Right. For now, at least. But down the road they may end up unbecoming sculpture. I can imagine them losing their sculptural form. In a way, I build for this. My sculptures can and must be taken apart and then put back together. Disaggregation is important. Therefore, each element needs to maintain its individual identity, its autonomy.

NEWPORT CITY – Judge Howard VanBenthuysen granted a Motion to Quash by Northeast Kingdom Human Services (NEKHS) in State v. Cristopher Smith yesterday. The order stopped attorney Trudy Miller from obtaining any additional mental health records of Smith, who is her client.
Smith pleaded guilty in July to a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a charge of engaging in a prohibited act by pulling a knife on Jennifer Hersey Cleveland and demanding that she take her clothes off while Smith was hitching a ride from her in August of 2011. Although shaken up, Cleveland was not physically harmed in the incident.
Smith allegedly has developmental disabilities, but he was found competent to stand trial.
Smith is a client of the Resolutions Program (Safe Choices) run by Saul Schoenberg, a psychologist, who contracts with Northeast Kingdom Human Services. The program is supposed to provide counseling services to individuals with developmental disabilities and a history of sexually inappropriate behavior, although many clients have never been charged or convicted of a sex-related crime. The client enters the program and must attend counseling sessions. They are also prohibited from many social and family contacts and may be ordered to reside in a group home. Most, not all, are under the guardianship of the State of Vermont. The program is on-going, that is, there is no specific end to the term of treatment and many clients have been in the program for years.
The cost of the program is usually covered by Medicaid. One of the sets of records Miller was seeking were the Medicaid payments, which she said would establish the dates services were provided where it was difficult for her to isolate that information from the documents she had already received.
Miller, who is trying to document exactly when her client received counseling services, said that NEKHS had provided her with several thousand pages of records, which were mixed together in a "state of complete chaos, sloppiness and jumble," according to her written opposition to the NEKHS Motion to Quash. There was no inventory, no order, no checklist, no cataloguing and no chronology, she argued. Finding what she needed - a comprehensive list of the services her client had received - was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Miller also stated that her client and others in the program were "easily influenced" and that Smith may have been goaded by a therapist to commit an assault.
Whitman Smith, attorney for NEKHS, was also on hand to represent Schoenberg Tuesday. Smith said Miller has all of Cristopher Smith's information with the exception of some older files that were destroyed during a boiler malfunction.
During a telephone interview late Tuesday, Smith explained that any medical/clinical record is broken up into sections and not chronological. Smith said that Miller asked for all records since her client's birth in 1984 and the bulk of the information is not in electronic format.
In the end, VanBenthuysen didn't agree with Miller's argument and granted the Motion to Quash, effectively ending her attempts to obtain the records she wanted.
VanBenthuysen also granted a protective order at Smith's request, stating that Miller can't serve any additional subpoenas in this case without making a motion with the court. Miller had served several subpoenas in the case.
"Last toll, I think there were at least three of those," said Smith. "Ms. Miller has the right to subpoena people; all we're saying is she kind of went excessively on this one. Any future subpoenas should be reviewed and approved by the court before they're issued."
VanBenthuysen denied the state's request for a delay of Smith's sentencing hearing. As of Tuesday, a presentence investigation has not been written yet. The hearing is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 13.
Miller said she has an expert witness coming to Newport from California for the sentencing hearing.
This is not Miller's first time battling with NEKHS and Saul Schoenberg. She has represented other clients who have sought to be removed from the program or who are attempting to re-enter society or re-connect with family members.
Well the decision has been made, we cannot change everything about this because the committee has voted already. They just have to make a deposition subpoena about this case.
Based on what you've stated, the suspect is competent to attend the trial so be it. I just want to clarify something on the part of subpoena preparation towards this issue. Had it been already processed to quashed? this incident was quiet alarming and it needs to be paid attention right away.

Had a terrific experience with dr reyter and his staff. I was referred to him by another dermatologist who could not do my surgery, and I was seen by his associate and then by him for surgery. Everything turned out great. Special thanks to his surgical nurse.

I used to see Dr Reyter in westlkae, but I moved as he moved and came back to Sherman Oaks but now in westlake village also. Amazing, caring doctor with a great bedside manner. I do some cosmetic stuff with him, but only because he doesnt push it on me (like 2 other dermatologist I've been to). I would recommend highly.

I found Dr. Reyter by reading reviews since I am relatively new to Los Angeles. Dr. Reyter is everything I look for in a doctor.He listened to my numerous concerns and addressed each one. I felt that he was totally present with me - that alone is amazing since most doctors appear to be in a rush and often seem more concerned with getting to the next patient than interacting with the one they are speaking with. It is clear that Dr. Reyter is extremely bright and an expert in his field yet he has not one bit of arrogance - he is easy to talk with and very personable. He has done a lot of extra training in the area of skin cancer so I felt confident to have him do my skin check. He removed a small bump and told me he will call me next week with the results - he is not mailing the results or having his assistant call me - he will call me himself. Totally caring and genuine - he is exceptional! I wish I could have him as my primary care physician. If you are looking for a dermatologist, look no further!

I saw Dr. Reyter on the recommendation of my friedn. I have been misdiagnosed by 2 other doctors (my internist, and another dermatologist). Dr. Reyter was amazing, got my medical records from all the other docs, pieced together the puzzle, and finally figured out that I have a rare form of psoriasis. All I needed was ultraviolet light to make it go away. This is incredible! I rarely write positive reviews - but I love this doctor!

Jacks weather Storm
The South Dakota State wrestling team returned home and weathered the Storm on Friday night, defeating Simpson 51-0.
The dual served as a homecoming of sorts for the Jackrabbits, as SDSU last wrestled on its home mat on Dec. 8 (27-16 win vs. SIUE).
Simpson College forfeited the 125-pound and 141-pound match, essentially putting the Jacks on top 12-0 to start the dual. Brance Simms opened up competition at 133. Utilizing a takedown, escape strategy, Simms built a huge lead and eventually defeated Sam Reichenbacker by 22-7 technical fall.
After the second forfeit, Dustin Walraven took the mat at 149. Walraven looked poised to employ the same takedown, escape strategy, but caught Derek Entz on his back in the closing seconds of the first period for a pin. Cody Pack was the final match before intermission and, scoring takedowns at will, scored a 23-6 technical fall versus Jason Clark. The outcome put the Jacks on top 28-0 after five matches, heading into the break.
"We are trying not to lay on guys and hold positions," head coach Chris Bono said. "That is where we get caught a lot and I wanted us to go out there and work, score as many points as we can and look for the fall. That is what we did."
Following the intermission, it was more of the same from SDSU.
Joe Brewster won by 22-7 tech fall-4 versus Cory Stratton at 165. Brewster employed the same strategy as the other SDSU wrestlers, built a lead and put the match away. In the 174-pound match, John Nething II made quick work of Gregory Harlow with a first-period pin at 1:39. Shea Nolan took to the mat at 184 and went back to the previous strategy, scoring takedowns and allowing escapes. Nolan scored a 19-6 major decision versus Taylor Witzel.
After a Joe Skow 12-7 decision versus Jared Bevins at 197, J.J. Everard closed out the dual in style with a pin at 285. Everard built a big lead before closing out Tony Saucedo in 5:15.
"I am happy," said Bono. "Everything we asked of our team, they went out and did. We saw them respond to us and everything we went over in practice. We are getting better and we need to keep building on it."
The Jacks improve to 4-5 on the season, while Simpson drops to 1-9.
"We are excited," Bono said. "We have some confidence and we are coming off of two wins. We are starting to see what the first semester of training did and we are being rewarded. Our conditioning is good and we can score points if we continue to do what we need to do. We are excited to see what we can do."
Coach Bono coached tonight's dual barefoot to raise awareness for Samaritan's Feet. Coach Bono is the first wrestling coach to join the movement and is the first Division I coach to participate barefoot in 2013.
Friday's dual precedes Coach Nagy's barefoot men's basketball game on Jan. 26.
"If by me doing this, we can put one pair of shoes on somebody who does not have shoes, then it is worth it," said Bono. "Anything we can do to support the cause, and it is a great one, we are happy to do it."
Samaritan's Feet is a non-profit, humanitarian aid organization and so much more – a community of more than 70,000 volunteers who have joined together to make a difference in the lives of children in need in every corner of the world. Over four million impoverished children and adults in more than 60 nations being served by having their feet washed, receiving a new pair of shoes and hearing a message of hope.
Samaritan's Feet and its team of global ambassadors have touched the lives of men, women and children across the United States and around the world in an effort to help the nearly 300 million people who go without shoes each day and the more than a million who die each year as a result. Through this simple act of humility and servant-leadership, our team members and volunteers are expressing love, compassion, and a message that brings hope.
Nearly 300 million people go without shoes each day and millions are plagued with foot-borne illnesses that may be preventable by simple protection – shoes.

The origins of Palomar Pomerado Health (PPH) can be traced back to two benevolent German women, Charlotta Baker Hintz, a nurse, and Elizabeth Martin, a dietician, who left their jobs at the Anaheim Sanitarium in 1933 to establish a hospital to serve the small farming community of Escondido. Using their own money, the women bought an egg and poultry plant at 125 South Broadway and converted it into a 13-bed hospital.
In 1945 the Escondido Valley Hospital Association was formed to investigate the possibility of building a larger facility to keep pace with growth. Palomar Memorial Hospital, named in tribute to the men and women who served in World War II, was dedicated on February 16, 1950. In 1974 the McLeod Tower was built to meet the needs of the growing community. After receiving full designation as a trauma center in 1987, the hospital was renamed Palomar Medical Center.
In 1977 the Escondido Valley Hospital Association supervised the construction of a sister facility in Poway-Pomerado Hospital. As that community grew, several expansions were made to Pomerado Hospital.
To more accurately reflect the region it served, Palomar Pomerado Health District was formed in 1984, and in 2001, the name was changed to Palomar Pomerado Health. Today PPH is the largest healthcare district serving communities in an 800 square mile area and a trauma center that covers 1,440 square miles of South Riverside and North San Diego Counties. In addition to two hospitals, Palomar Pomerado Health offers home health care, surgery, skilled nursing, ambulatory care, behavioral health services, wound care, and community health education programs.
To heal, comfort, and promote health in the communities we serve - When it comes to health it makes sense to come to the area's first, and largest healthcare provider - Palomar Pomerado Health.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
Last year it was the scrappy upstarts from Duchesne that put the Dinos in there place, but not this season. A well rested Dino squad came out fast and furious and before the game even was started, the outcome looked rosy for the Dinos. In the end they beat Duchesne by the final score of 66-35.
Steals and turnovers have been a problem for Carbon this season, but Thursday night, they were the ones taking control and forcing the errors from their opponents. By the end of the first quarter they had taken a 19 point lead.
The Dinos did experience a second quarter let down as they got a bit confident and Duchesne stole back some of their ground. At the break the score was 33-21.
Coach Bianco put the fire back in his squad and they roared back onto the court to outscore Duchesne by another 10. Even with the game seemingly in the bag, Carbon kept up their intensity into the fourth quarter.
With a nice cushion to work with the bench got the luxury of some good court time as well. The bench did not want to let Duchesne back in the game at all and many on the team showed some good moves as they got their chance to shine.
The scoring leader was once again Joey Keller as he unloaded for 14. Dayton Martindale had a hot hand from downtown as he hit three treys and ended up with 11 points. Eric Buchmiller also was in double figures with 10.
Bianco was pleased with his team's effort from the minute they hit the floor. He was a bit worried about the long layoff and if they might need to shake off the dust, but there were no cobwebs in evidence on this evening. Again he gave praise to much of the team, but he was especially satisfied with the way Buchmiller stepped up and made himself a force throughout the game.
"We need that type of performance from him the rest of the season," stated Bianco. "Our guards also played a great game and they took care of the ball and distributed it well."
The progress his team is making in the positive direction is something Bianco is happy about, but he knows they still have a way to go before they can feel they have this season under control.
Carbon played Delta on Wednesday evening after press time. The Rabbits are ranked number one and are 10-1 on the season.
The Dinos return home to take on North Sanpete on Friday night.

Research In Motion continues to update their systems and offer new features to users that have been relatively feature starved until recently when they have started to rapidly expand the overall number of features that they are able to offer. Now, the company has released a new app that is already available for download in their app marketplace that is able to integrate with your calendar that is already present in your BlackBerry devices such as Bold 9780, Torch 9800 unlocked, etc. They will allow you to easily schedule and also join an already present conference call. You can see how this would be useful to users - especially their hordes of users that use their device for business purposes.
The app will likely find a good following with business users that have already been driven to the BlackBerry platform for their business needs. It will certainly be interesting to see how quickly the app rises to prominence among users. The app is great at easily scheduling and creating conference calls. They will allow provide you with a reminder notification that will pop up when you reach a scheduled conference time that you have previously scheduled.
Also, if you lose your connection to the audio conference, you will be able to rejoin with the single click of a button, which is a huge feature of the app. It will be interesting to see how quickly business users gravitate toward the scheduling features that have been provided in the app, but you can bet that some users will gravitate toward it if nothing else than for the great scheduling features and notifications that have been made available to users when they are scheduling their conference calls. This app effectively allows you to set and show up for meetings, reminding you of when you need to be in your conference call.

"I'll be darned," Uncle Spud sputtered as he put down the TV remote in disgust. "Now we've got to recall fish made in China. Whodathunk?"
"We get fish from China?" I asked.
"Prime Chinese carp," he smiled. "But of course they don't call it carp here in the good old USA. They call it by a whole lot of other fancy names, but deep down inside the frozen fish box, it's carp, and recently, it's been contaminated carp."
"Sounds fishy to me," I said. "Why do we buy fish from China, especially contaminated fish?"
"We get lots of contaminated food items from China," he said. "Almost all of our contaminated rice, wheat, vegetables, toothpaste, fish, and pet foods come from China."
"Why is everything contaminated?" I asked.
"Well, China has the worlds fastest growing economy and they have almost no environmental laws or controls," he said. "They are quickly becoming the world's largest polluter, even worse than the old Soviet Union. When it comes to mining, manufacturing, and agriculture, almost anything goes. And on top of all that, the Chinese have no Food and Drug Administration to do inspections and keep the food supply safe. When it comes to eating in that communist worker's paradise, it's every dog for himself - so to speak, of course."
:But doesn't our government inspect foreign products before they hit our grocery shelves?" I asked.
"Well yes," he said, not very convincingly. "Our people do spot sampling, but we don't often check for things we find in Chinese products. Like who would have guessed to look for antifreeze in toothpaste?"
"But why do American companies import the stuff if there is such a high degree of risk for contamination and general low quality?" I asked.
"Big Bucks," he smiled. "Why make a 20 percent profit with stateside dog food when you can make a 500 percent profit by importing the contaminated Chinese stuff?"
"Somehow that doesn't sound ethical to me," I said.
"Ethics has no place in business anymore," he said. "Didn't you watch the ENRON scandal on TV? And why do you think we keep our borders open to accommodate a steady flow of slave laborers?"
"But we can't tolerate the importation of contaminated food products," I said. "Chinese and American businessmen are going to have to clean up their act."
"Not necessarily," he offered. "Our government and big business can fix almost anything by working with the name. You know, the way they are trying to do with the illegal alien problem. Instead of illegal aliens, they now call them 'undocumented foreign workers.' For the contaminated Chinese food products, we could rename them Perfidious Uninspected Foreign Foodstuffs or PUFF products for short. That sounds more appealing. The PUFF products would be uninspected because that's the way we would allow them into the country from now on. It's cheaper, and it's only fair. We let millions of undocumented foreign workers enter the country uninspected every year. How many of them are contaminated?"
"Why not go even further and register 'Contaminated' as a brand name?" I suggested. "Just think, on the store shelf we could have brands like, General Foods, Pillsbury, Best Buy, and Contaminated Chinese."
"Yes," he said. "And we could expand the truth in labeling laws to allow for multiple-use labeling. We could list things like: This toothpaste can be used as automotive antifreeze in a pinch. Or, this dog food contains chemical compounds that work well as a paint and varnish remover when mixed with water or gravy. Or, we could expand the warning labels to say things like: These fish sticks are combustible and should not be served around sparks or open flames. Do not smoke while handling. Wash hands thoroughly. Do not get in eyes. Call for medical assistance if ingested."
"Naw," I said. "That's getting a little too involved. 'Made in China' pretty well sums it up. Lets just stick with that for now."

How a Facebook post lost $80,000 for this family
The staffing industry is in the midst of a passionate love affair with social media. But not every situation ends well.
Take the latest case — outside of the industry — making the rounds.
A college-age daughter in Florida caused her father to forfeit his settlement payment from a former employer because she announced the settlement on Facebook, according to Globe Business Publishing Ltd.'s free news service.
The father was the headmaster at a private school and, after he was fired, he sued the school for age discrimination and retaliation. As part of the agreement, the school agreed to pay the father $80,000 and his attorney $60,000.
The agreement contained a confidentiality clause:
[T]he plaintiff shall not either directly or indirectly, disclose, discuss or communicate to any entity or person, except his attorneys and other professional advisors or spouse any information whatsoever regarding the existence or terms of this Agreement … A breach … will result in disgorgement of the Plaintiff's portion of the settlement Payments.
The father chatted with his daughter. He admitted in his deposition that he had told his daughter that the matter was settled and that he was "happy with the results." After the agreement was reached, the daughter posted on Facebook
Mama and Papa Snay won the case against Guillver (sic). Gulliver is now officially paying for my vacation to Europe this summer. SUCK IT.
The daughter had approximately 1,200 "friends" on Facebook, many of whom were either current or former students at the school.
The school argued that her post violated the agreement's confidentiality provision and it refused to pay the father his portion of the settlement. The appeals court in Florida agreed with the school.
What this brings up is that both buyers and suppliers of staffing services have to be careful about what you share on social media. But that's just one obvious aspect of the big picture. The fact is that you have to know how to use social media smartly. It's not enough to get rookies to take on social media functions in organizations just because they are young, connected and familiar with it. It requires a certain expertise to be effective and not land you or your company in trouble.
Countless celebrities whose posts or photos have gone viral and created a backlash wished they had been less quick to hit that button. You don't want to end up on Dumbest Tweets. Ever. So before you or one of your workers tweet or post on Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ — or whatever your personal favorite is — make sure you have the right person in place to do the job. The person should know how to write, understand your industry and the implications of social media. And yes, please respect confidentiality agreements.

The Japanese blog Macotakara reports that the new iPod Touch will sport a 4-inch screen, the same dimensions we expect for the display on the iPhone 5 and a nice expansion to the current 3.5-inch screen. And that isn't the only thing the Touch will have in common with its Apple siblings.
The new device will come equipped with the same A5 processor that iPhone 4S uses, and its case will have the same aluminum back that the iPad has and come in both a black and a white version.
Here is a feature that has everyone stumped. Macotakara also reports that the iPod Touch case has a hole in the lower end of the rear shell. Anyone want to guess what it's for?

I see everyone wants to play the blame game. The buck always stops at the pitcher. He has the ability to shake him off. The people in the dugout are supose to be tracking pitches and especially the pitching coach. I am sitting in the stands behind homeplate calling almost every pitch he threw. He was fastball, fastball, slider how many times in a row. These Texas hitters were not stupid. I e-mailed Jordan during the game saying these guys will be sitting on pitches. It was cold, windy, and the breaking stuff will always be hit or miss. You simply throw it those nights to keep everyone honest and not a staple pitch. I think roughly 75% of his pitches were either four seam fastball or slider the enitre night. His slider was sharp and then it was a sloppy hanger.
He threw maybe one or two change ups the entire outing and that should be your balance pitch on cold nights. The rest was hot and heavy throws. Batters can easily distinguish between a slider and fastball when that is all you tend to throw in an outing. Both come out of the gate fast, so a batter can sit on the slider without the fear of being blow out on a fastball. Adrian Beltre was sitting on a slider and caught a fastball (92) right in the lower groove pit where he likes them thrown. Hamilton sat on the slider and it hung for a base clearing hit, two other did so as well....
I agree with Buck post press conference. He had a solid command of the fastball, but with a guy who can throw 8 pitches it sure looked like he sat on simply two. He can honestly work in a 2 seam, splitting change, and Curve. Where in the world was that change up???
I do not place blame on Jake Fox. I place the complete blame in the pre-game attack plan. It was simply poor overall and on a cold night with sligthly numb fingers on the mound, you do everything in your arsenal to keep them off balance because your breaking pitch will not be as effective.
I am sorry that I am so critical at the moment. I plan to send Jordan my scouting report later today and un-fourtunately this outing will ecco my report. The good thing is that he is better than this outing. He is a guy with great stuff and the abiliity to be a better pitcher than most give him credit for in the first place. I hope they can all learn from this about being more selective and balance out the repitore for better results.
