Robert Gibbs (pictured), former press secretary for President Obama, said Sunday he was under orders during his White House years not to discuss or even acknowledge the existence of a "drone program," involving the use of remote-controlled, unmanned bombers, in the war on terror. The drones have become the subject of controversy, mainly because of their use in targeted killings of suspected terrorists, including American citizens.
Gibbs, who was the president's press secretary from January 2009 to February 2011, discussed the gag order on MSNBC's Up program after host Chris Hayes played a video clip showing Gibbs and current White House press secretary Jay Carney dodging reporters' questions about the drones. Whenever he heard such questions, he said, "I realized I'm not supposed to talk about it," describing each incident as a Wizard of Oz moment.
"Here's what's inherently crazy about that proposition," he said. "You're being asked a question based on reporting of a program that exists. So you're the official government spokesperson acting as if the entire program — pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."
Gibbs's revelation was not the first time the Obama administration's efforts at keeping the drone program a secret have been described in terms of a children's story. On January 2, Judge Colleen McMahon of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a summary judgment in favor of the U.S. Department of Justice, denying Freedom of Information requests by the New York Times and the American Civil Liberties Union for documents related to the government's use of drones for targeted killings. A year and a half after the Times had filed its request with the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, the OLC denied it, saying in a letter: "The very fact of the existence or nonexistence of such documents is itself classified." In her summary judgment, Judge McMahon wrote:

Hmmm...the fact that it is dated 01 April 2004 should be a clue. If it isn't announced at the official Slackware site, then don't put too much trust in it.
I don't know how true this really is but I found this on www.slackfiles.net site under the News section.
I wonder what will happen to the stability of Slackware if someone else takes over without Pat's drive & motivation.1 April 2004 - Slackware Founder announces retirement!!!
In a press statement today Founder and sole developer of the Slackware Linux operating system "Patrick Volkerding", announced his retirement. "Volkerding" states that the next release of Slackware (codenamed "Porch swing" will in fact be the last. Unfortunately the highly anticipated Linux 2.6 kernel based release, previously codenamed "Terrapin station" has been cancelled. When we asked "Patrick" why he was giving up he replied:
In these days of flashy installers and dependancy checking, nobody seems to want a simple reliable system that just works..." "I Need A Miracle!" or perhaps some "Young Blood" to take over this "Masterpiece" but I still feel "She Belongs To Me". "Even so" "Me & My Uncle" will be "Playin' In The Band"...
Yes, it seems that "Volkerding" is taking up a career in music, and is about to start touring with a band called "Banjo Bob and the X-men". Apparently this is a 6 piece banjo band that wear spandex pyjamas and do Greatful Dead covers.
Meanwhile the future of Slackware may be left out in "The Cold Rain And Snow".
Hmmm...the fact that it is dated 01 April 2004 should be a clue. If it isn't announced at the official Slackware site, then don't put too much trust in it.
2 April 2004 "So, is Patrick Volkerding really going to retire?" Look at the date . By the way, "Terrapin Station" is downloadable from http://www.gdlive.com/.
This looks way too much like the trick that I played on shebang with the help of countach44.

Organisations are increasingly relying on business analytics to get value from the very data they generate in their day to day operations. In order to gain maximum effective results from this data, it has to be reorganised to reflect this new use at the enterprise level rather than at the operational level. When data is reorganised to meet this need, there is a real risk that the semantics of the data will be compromised and that data integrity can be violated. Hence, students will learn how data can be captured and reorganised properly without causing such issues. Specifically, this unit introduces students to a number of topics in data management, including relational database management, data warehousing and ETL, as well as big data management and analytics. At the end of this unit, students will understand broad issues concerning data management, gain basic skills in manipulating data in different environments, and will have the adequate knowledge to progress on to the advanced units in the course.
This unit will enable students to understand:
1. Current information management approaches;
2. The requirements imposed by the move to Big Data;
3. Analytics techniques used with Big Data; and
4. The potential and limitations of specific analytics applications

MASSENA The village Board of Trustees last week threw its support behind the move to allow the St. Lawrence County Legislature to raise the sales tax from 3 percent to 4 percent.
It still is doubtful that the home-rule petition designed to alleviate the countys fiscal crisis will succeed, as state Sens. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, and Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, have been cool to the tax hike and their support is critical to advancing the measure in Albany. Nonetheless, local resolutions supporting home-rule legislation have been on the agenda at town and village board meetings around the county in recent weeks.
Massena village trustees approved their resolution 3-2 on Tuesday. Mayor James F. Hidy, Councilwoman Patricia K. Trish Wilson and Councilman Timothy J. Ahlfeld voted in support of the measure; Councilmen Albert C. Herb Deshaies and Francis J. Carvel voted against it.
County Legislators Gregory M. Paquin, D-Massena, and Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, who presented the proposal to the village board, said raising the sales tax is the best way to overcome the multimillion-dollar shortfall facing county government.
The reality is were in a tough spot, Mr. Putney said. There are a lot of things we shouldnt have to be doing now. Were up against the wall.
To help reduce a projected 20 percent increase in the county property tax levy, legislators first considered keeping for the county more of the sales tax revenue that is distributed to towns and villages. The village of Massena receives approximately $1 million in sales tax revenue each year.
A 1-percentage-point sales tax increase could mean a stable property tax over the same period along with regrowth of the fund balance, county officials have said.
Mr. Putney noted one advantage to a sales tax increase as opposed to a property tax increase is that a number of people outside the county contribute to sales tax revenue.
We have the opportunity to take advantage of the Canada effect and college students, he said.
The legislators also noted that unless more revenue is generated, the county will have to cut services and continue to lay off county employees. Mr. Paquin said that since 2010, St. Lawrence County has laid off 137 employees.
If we dont get the sales tax increase, I do not see how we can keep the county road patrol, I do not see how we can keep the chemical dependency program, (or anything else) thats not mandated, Mr. Paquin said.
When you talk about services, people provide the service, Mr. Hidy said. So its ultimately going to help a struggling county.
Joseph Macauley, one of several Massena residents who addressed the board about the sales tax issue, expressed disappointment that neither the town nor the village would receive a portion of the additional revenue if the increase is passed.
What advantage to the village is there for the government to support this 1 percent increase? Mr. Macauley asked.
Youre going to do one of two things: youre either going to pay a higher village tax bill or a higher county tax bill, Mr. Ahlfeld said.
Mr. Putney also noted that St. Lawrence County uses sales tax revenue to fund rising Medicaid costs, and said the county shares a larger portion of its sales tax revenue than most counties in the state.
Several village officials and residents criticized a higher sales tax as regressive, disproportionately hitting low-income people. Others maintained that an increase has not worked so well in other counties.
If you look at just about every county that has a higher sales tax than St. Lawrence County, theyre in trouble, Mr. Carvel said.

By TERRY WILLISSports reporter
The Carbon High soccer team has already put two games under their belts in this young preseason.
On March 4th Carbon hosted South Summit and then traveled to play Ben Lomond in Ogden on the following Friday. Both match-ups resulted in close 2-1 losses.
In the Wednesday contest Carbon coach Patrick Clifford felt the first half play was pretty even between the squads. They both put together some good offensive runs and each team played some good defense. South Summit sent a penalty kick through the posts, Carbon had the same chance and missed leaving the score at the half, South Summit 1, Carbon 0.
In the second period Carbon had a penalty shot and Fernando Mendoza sent the ball across to Cal Samuelson for a Carbon goal. With about 10 minutes left in the game South Summit floated a chip shot over the head of Carbon goalie Adam Bedont for the winning point.
Coach Clifford was happy with his team's performance overall. He has scheduled his preseason games to meet up with some tough opponents. Even though South Summit is a 2A team, they are a tough contender this year.
"We will only learn to play better if we face good competition and South Summit fit the bill," he stated.
On Friday after a long bus ride to Ogden, the team also learned they would be playing on the junior high field as the Scotties high school field was still snowed under and muddy. While there were plenty of challenges in this game dodging sprinkler head divots gave the teams another task to manage. In the first half on play, Ben Lomond dominated the play and out shot Carbon 15-4. Still by half the score was only 1-0 in favor of Ben Lomond. Within 10minutes in the second half, Ben Lomond sent in their second goal of the game.
The Dinos came out of the break with intensity and for 20 minutes, outplayed their opponent. Jose Munoz scored on a penalty kick and Carbon trailed by one. But the final ten minutes were again Ben Lomond's game and the Dinos fell short of a comeback.
"I don't know if it was my coaching or we are not in shape, but those final minutes of the game hurt us," commented Clifford. "We are going to work on conditioning in our next practice. There are a few other things we have identified that we need to work on as coaches, but overall, we are doing well this early in the season."

"I taught the Constitution for 10 years. I believe in the Constitution, and I will obey the Constitution of the United States. We're not going to use signing statements as a way of doing an end run around Congress."
— Barack Obama, May 18, 2008, at a campaign stop in Billings, Montana
President Obama began his presidency with great promise, publicly pledging to end many of the Bush administration attacks against the U.S. Constitution. Obama had pledged during his initial election campaign to end signing statements as a back-door method of legislating (usurping the legislative branch's powers under Article I of the Constitution), warrantless surveillance (violating the Fourth Amendment), detention without habeas corpus (Fifth Amendment) or trial (Sixth Amendment), torture (Eighth Amendment), and excessive executive branch secrecy under the "executive privilege" and "state secrets" claims, and pledged that he would not engage in offensive wars without the approval of Congress (Congress' power under Article I, Section 8).

ATM operates Milan's metro, bus, tram and trolley services, which have the advantage of being integrated. Tickets, available from shops displaying the ATM logo, are validated on-board and then have a time limit of 75 minutes travel on any of the transport options, or one ride on the metro. The city's metro is particularly inexpensive and user-friendly, and consists of three lines: Linea 1 covers the most important tourist areas near the Duomo. Taxis are freely available but have to be hired at marked stands. Expect extra charges for luggage, night fares, or Sunday travel. Renting a car and driving yourself is not a fun experience in Milan and is best avoided. The historic area around the cathedral is good for pedestrians and a number of attractions can be reached on foot.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between the last Sunday in March and the Saturday before the last Sunday in October).
Electrical current in Italy is 230 volts, 50Hz. A variety of plugs are in use, including the European-style two-pin plug.
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into 100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are widespread. Credit cards are accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities. Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than casas de cambios.
The international access code for Italy is +39. There can be high surcharges on calls made from hotels and it is generally cheaper to use a calling card. Public telephone boxes take phone cards for local and international calls, which can be bought from newsagents. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts.

The climate of Milan is Mediterranean, but like any large urban metropolis, buildings and human activity affect the local micro-climate. In the case of Milan this makes the weather rather more extreme. Summers can be hot and humid, with temperatures rising above 86°F (30°C) during August. The mountains behind the city protect Milan somewhat from the severity of winter, but the weather is very chilly with temperatures occasionally dropping below freezing. Winter also brings rain showers and heavy fog. Spring (March to May) and early summer (June) are the best time to visit Milan weather-wise, although autumn (September to November) is also pleasant. In late summer, particularly August, it gets uncomfortably hot and many locals depart for their summer break, leaving some restaurants and hotels closed. Winter is a bit cold for most tourists but Milan's attractions are world-class during any season. Milan has a busy event calendar and unless you are travelling particularly to attend a big festival it is best to avoid international events like Milan Fashion Week, because the city gets crowded and more expensive. Essentially Milan is a year-round tourist destination.
Bus number 73 runs from Linate Airport to Milan Piazza S. Babila every 10 minutes, between 6:05am and 12:55am, and at a cost of €1 per ticket. Alternatively, there is a bus that travels to Milan Central Station every 30 minutes between 6:05am and 11:45pm. All buses departing from Linate Airport depart from the area just outside arrivals.
Car rental companies at Linate Airport include Avis, EasyCar, Europcar, Hertz, Maggiore/National, Sixt and Thrifty, all of which have desks in the arrivals section.
Taxi services are available outside the arrivals hall. The journey to the city centre costs between €15 and €25 and will take 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic conditions. Shared taxis are available.
Linate Airport has one large terminal building, with arrivals on the ground floor and departures on the first floor; both of which are accessible by foot.
Facilities at the airport include ATMs, currency exchange, a post office, left luggage and baggage wrapping, a business centre and executive lounge, a pharmacy and first aid station, a hair salon, laundry facilities, a chapel, and an information desk. Duty-free shopping is available, and dining options range from fast food joints to good restaurants.
Parking comprises about 4,500 spaces. There are both short and long-term parking options available, all within a two-minute walk to the terminals.
Free wifi is available.

The Swansea City squad has urged Danny Graham to stay at the Liberty, but players insist they will respect whatever decision the striker makes.
Another Swansea City deal to watch concerns Kenwyne Jones. The Trinidad & Tobago international may be set to join from Stoke City .
The 28-year-old, who was plucked from obscurity by Southampton in July 2004 is understood to be City's top transfer window target.

Spring Roll Sushi Recipe
Super Snack: Spring Roll Sushi
Like us on Facebook
Keep reading for this simple snack recipe.
From Sarah Lipoff, LilSugar
Spring Roll Sushi
1/4 cup cold sticky rice
1 spring roll wrapper
1/4 an avocado sliced thin
1/4 a carrot sliced thin
1/4 cup thinly sliced cucumber
Soy sauce
- Start by filling the bottom of a dinner plate with water. Place the spring roll wrapper into the water and gently press, making sure the entire round is submerged. Invite your child to be in charge of making sure it doesn't curl up. If it does, then your little one can press it back in place. Let the wrapper soften in the water for at least a minute.
- Gather the rest of the ingredients, slicing thin the cucumber, carrot, and avocado so it's ready to go. You'll need about 1/4 cup of sticky rice to make one roll. If you don't have any leftover sticky rice in the fridge, then you can make some the day before and keep cold in the fridge until you're ready to make the sushi.
- Remove the spring roll wrapper from the water and place on a dry cutting board, uncurling any edges to form a circle. Invite your child to wet her hands and then gently press the sticky rice into a rectangle along one half of the circle. Now she can layer on the cucumber, carrot, and avocado.
- Start rolling the sushi at the edge closest to the rice while tucking the edges just like you are making a burrito. Continue rolling and tucking the edges while keeping things nice and tight until reaching the other end the spring roll wrapper.
- Carefully slice the spring roll sushi into bite-sized pieces, and serve with dipping sauce.
Makes one spring roll sushi roll.

initially they were supposed to restrict professions to 6, no pvp and no unlimited dungeon runs per day for free players.... but the community outcry made them change their minds

When I attended the NTA (National Tattoo Association) convention in 2000, there was a booth there with two ladies representing the company for Emla Cream. One of them, in particular, was overheard pushing these products as the only way one could possibly survive a tattoo. She told "horror stories" of the pain involved and encouraged tattoo artists to carry these products in order to draw in more customers that were afraid of the pain. To listen to her, one could be convinced that getting a tattoo is a severely traumatic experience and could be treated as nothing less than minor surgery.
Do They Work?
Let's consider how Emla works. The cream or patch is applied to the skin and you have to wait 30 minutes for it to take effect. Once it starts working, it only lasts for about 30 to 45 minutes . An average sized tattoo takes about two hours. This would mean that you would have to: (1)Apply the cream to 1/4 of the area to be tattooed. (2)Wait 30 minutes. (3)Begin tattooing, and stop after 30 minutes when it starts to wear off. (4)Apply the cream to another 1/4 of the area. (5)Wait 30 minutes. (6)Tattoo this section for half an hour. (7)Apply the cream to another 1/4 section of the area. (8)Wait 30 minutes. (9)Tattoo for another 30 minutes. (10)Apply the cream to the last quarter of the tattoo. (11)Wait 30 minutes. (12)Finally finish the tattoo.
You have just turned a 2-hour tattoo into a 4+ hour project.
Not only that, but there is another downside to Emla Cream. Lara White-Carl is co-owner of Jacksonville Tattoo Studio with her husband, Jim "Finster" Carl in Illinois. She is also a nurse, and speaking of Emla she says, "Not only does the Emla dull for only a half an hour or so, but also when the sensation returns, it is a shock to the system and the discomfort felt from being tattooed becomes more painful. Without the Emla it would have been annoying and possibly even a discomfort; whereas with the Emla, the returning sensation is ten-fold what would have been felt without the use."
I've never used Emla, but my twelve-year-old daughter gets blood draws and IVs on a regular basis during doctor visits for her diabetes. One time she was given the option of using the Emla patch to reduce the pain of the IV. She tried it, and said it was much more trouble than it was worth and now prefers to just forego any pain prevention before her blood draws.
What About Lidocaine Injections?
Still think you couldn't get a tattoo without some kind of pain prevention? What about Lidocaine? This question was posed on the message boards, and here is what some of the members there said about it:
The fact of the matter is, getting a tattoo or piercing just isn't that bad! But it is a "right of passage" that many feel should be earned by dealing with the discomfort that may go along with it. If you are not willing to do that, maybe a tattoo or piercing is not right for you. If you really want a tattoo or piercing, there are other ways you can "survive" them without going through all the trouble of these numbing products.

SIA Flashback – Beetles Beautiful and Bizarre
In moderation, most things are just fine. Take, for instance, the trend of rebodying the Volkswagen Beetle. Once the Beetle became ubiquitous and dirt-cheap, everybody with a chopper gun started to use the Bug as the basis for bringing their notebook-margin doodles to life. Yet there were many refined, restrained and quality-focused coachbuilt Beetles, mostly from European firms, that appeared in the late 1940s and 1950s, and Ray I. Scroggins highlighted some of the more well-known examples for SIA #85, February 1985.

ADAMS CENTER — Officials of the state Department of Transportation are expanding the use of infrared sensors that would help vehicles avoid bridge collisions on Interstate 81 at the South Harbor Road overpass.
Crews are working to link height detection sensors to a permanent message board near the bridge, which has an underpass clearance of 14 feet, 3 inches.
"If you trip it, you're not going to get a subtle warning," department spokesman Michael R. Flick said. "You're going to get a big flashing light."
He added the process of improving the sensors had been in the works "for a while." He estimated the cost for materials to implement the changes was about $12,500.
Currently, a tractor-trailer heading south that is too tall would activate a sign beacon north of the bridge. To avoid the hazard, trucks can detour to the bridge and return to the road without changing direction.
Mr. Flick said similar sensors also were being installed south of the bridge in its northbound lanes.
The bridge was last hit in October by a crane bucket fastened to a flatbed tractor-trailer, causing traffic to be detoured. A previous such accident, in March 2011, led to several months of repairs and partial road closures.
Mr. Flick said the South Harbor Road Bridge is scheduled for rehabilitation that would increase its height in 2014.
When finished, the bridge's underpass will measure at 16 feet, the department's new standard to account for larger vehicles on the road. The rehabilitation would be similar to work done at bridges at Michaels Road and Massey Street.

Unlike the dualist credo of other religions in which the material and spiritual are always in conflict Judaism, argues Boteach, uniquely represents a philosophy that concerns itself with life in this world, rather than in the hereafter. Judaism for Everyone explores the Jewish and Biblical origins of civilization's seminal moral ideas and presents Judaism as a program of action to internalize these concepts within the heart of man and society. Boteach's interpretations and commentary are a vibrant celebration of the dynamism that is Judaism. Whether he's peppering his points with stories from his childhood, promoting feminism and decrying boredom, or extolling the virtues of leisure and solitude, he never fails to inform, inspire and surprise. This is a book for any man or woman seeking a universal moral creed to maximize human goodness and inner potential, and enrich their lives with the vibrant insights of the world's oldest faith.

Aminophylline Cream and Your Cellulite
Looking for an effective way to get rid of your cellulite?
If yes, then you have come to the right place.
Aminophylline Cellulite is one of the biggest break through when it comes to the removal of cellulite situated on women's hips, thighs and buttocks but have also shown to be quite effective when it comes to the stomach region on men.
What Aminophylline does is that it is able to penetrate deeply into your skin and so to say burn out the fat cells that are the real cause why you have cellulite.
The burn out process happens in a dehydrating dry out process where the Aminophylline cellulite cream dry out all the fluid in the current fat cells, so they in the first place will get smaller and have less volume and in the long run completely disappear because nothing is left in them.
For a short period of time you can try it out for yourself with the best Aminophylline cream on the market, just click on the link below to claim your free trial.
>>> Try Aminophylline Cream For Free Here! <<<
Aminophylline Cellulite Benefits
Using Aminophylline in the treat of cellulite reduction is relatively new, because most cellulite creams have been based on Retinol and caffeine.
But Retinol only works topical on the skin itself and not so much on the under lying layers of fat cells that are the real cause why you are having cellulite.
The Aminophylline cream we recommend is Procellix and it also contains caffeine, like other cellulite creams does.
Caffeine especially from Guarana have shown to be very effective when used topical to boost up the blood flow within those areas where cellulite occurs.
That together with Aminophylline have shown to be extremely effective when it comes to removing cellulite.
There are a couple of thing you need to be aware of. Using an Aminophylline for cellulite is not a magical over night solution, you need to expect a certain time frame to really be able to remove those layers of fat that causes cellulite, because it can take a little time before the fat cells are completely dried out.
But the process begins all ready within a couple of days, so you should be able to see some results all ready within one week of use.
In order to speed up the process and get some everlasting results, you should still maintain a healthy diet with the minimum amount of unhealthy fat together with exercises on a regular basis.
If you keep that you can really expect some good results using Aminophylline together with a healthy diet and used the right way.

Daily newspapers are finding new ways to connect online, real-time news content with their physical newspapers by adopting Microsoft Tag.
Tag offers editors the ability to augment editorial and advertising content with the endless possibilities of the digital world. When readers scan the 2D barcode with their mobile phones, they can access dynamic content ranging from photos and videos to in-depth coverage beyond what fits in the printed paper. It's almost like embedding videos into the newspaper.
Some newspapers link to videos of sporting events from their sports sections, some link to coupons from their classified ads, and still others link to real-time news updates such as election results.
Paul Turcotte, publisher of amNewYork, believes incorporating Microsoft Tag into the newspaper offers a huge benefit. "As a daily newspaper written for a young, urban, mobile-savvy demographic, the inclusion of Microsoft Tags provides multimedia interaction, further extending engagement and service to our readers," Turcotte says. "We see this new technology as a way to transform the newspaper page to an exciting multimedia experience."
Other newspapers using Tag in editorial and advertising on a regular basis include the New York Daily News, San Diego Union Tribune, and Columbia Basin Herald.

It has been a revolving door of businesses moving in and out of the Franklin Building since a $10 million restoration was completed almost three years ago.
But a new batch of tenants is giving business leaders some hope for the Public Square landmark.
Gone are Covered in Chocolate! desserts, the Whispering Angels gift shop, a locksmith and a pilates business. And Americas Own secondhand shop also is closing.
But they are being replaced by Blue Cat Cycles, RE/MAX Empire Realty, the Northern New York Autism Foundation and Self-Direct Inc., a home health care and equipment agency that provides help with traumatic brain injuries.
Things are looking up, said Donald W. Rutherford, CEO of the Watertown Local Development Corp.
The WLDC, also known as the Watertown Trust, manages the commercial space of the former YWCA building. Neighbors of Watertown, which restored the building, is responsible for overseeing the 16 upper-floor apartment units. All 16 units are rented.
Earlier this year, the Watertown Trust hired Pyramid Brokerage Co. to market the building because the WLDC was struggling to find commercial tenants. The broker receives 6 percent of the amount from the leases first year. To help offset that, the Watertown Trust decided to increase its lease amount from about $4 per square foot to $10 per square foot.
The North Country Arts Council is housed in a Public Square storefront and a piano teacher leases a small office in some interior space. The Arts Council also leases some interior space for a planned theater in what was the pool area of the YWCA. About 1,500 square feet of inner space, which could be divided into three offices, remains vacant.
With businesses moving in and out, the building remains slightly in the red, with $45,464 in annual lease revenues coming in and utility and other yearly expenses at $47,577, for a $2,133 loss. If the building were fully leased, revenues would be $86,710 and it would be in the black with about a $39,000 profit, Mr. Rutherford said.
Murat M. OHara said he was forced to move out of the Lincoln Building, across Public Square, because of a planned renovation there. He said the Franklin Building was the only suitable downtown space he could find for his bicycle store. He hopes to be completely moved in by Nov. 1.
On the Franklin Street side, the new space is smaller than the location he had occupied for the past 11 years, but he will make it work, Mr. OHara said. He plans to make customers aware of the new location through social media and fliers.
Were not going to have the visibility that we do now, he said.
Katherine E. Robertson, the Autism Foundations director, said she previously visited the Franklin Building and fell in love with it before the organization decided to move there. The foundation moved in Aug. 1 after relocating from the groups former site, which closed a couple of years ago.
Ms. Robertson and colleague Jamie R. Todhunter run the office in an 800-square-foot Franklin Street storefront.
Mr. Rutherford said he was happy to get the real estate office to move into a Public Square storefront because Stephanie Converse, an associate broker with RE/MAX Empire Realty, is respected in the community.
Self-Direct, with offices in Baldwinsville and Utica, is moving into the Watertown market, he said.
But its not all good news. The Arts Council has not proceeded with plans to open an art house theater after proposing it two years ago.
Last week, the Watertown Trust board agreed that the space should be marketed because its costing the WLDC money to have it sit idle. If a tenant were found, the Arts Council would be given a first right of refusal for that space before another party could claim it, board members said.
In recent months, Mr. Rutherford said he has communicated with Arts Council President Michael C. Miller mostly through emails because Mr. Miller has been out of town on business about the theater prospects and has been told the organization still wants to move ahead with the project. The Arts Council still needs to obtain some funding, Mr. Rutherford was told. Mr. Miller could not be reached for comment.
For the past two years, the WLDC has given the Arts Council a discount rate on its lease, charging just $1.95 a square foot. Without the discounted rate, the building would not be losing money, Mr. Rutherford said.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham, the Watertown Trust board chairman, remains optimistic about the economics of the commercial space.
We have the responsibility to run it like a business, he said, adding that the building is fairly close to breaking even.

Cleveland Reservoir - Todd Munford of Big Pine Sports in Fairview reports good trolling with three colors of leaded line, dragging Panther Martin or Vibrax spinners.
Duck Fork Reservoir - Catch-and-release fishing was good for cutthroat trout using a fly and bubble. Brown nymphs or black gnats are recommended. Tiger trout are growing faster than expected and promise a good sport fishery in the near future. Only artificial flies or lures may be used.
Electric Lake - Success has ranged from poor to fair. Best fishing occurs off-shore with a full bubble and dead minnows or nightcrawlers. Some tubers/pontooners have done well off points in 20-30 feet of water with a full bubble and rainbow PowerBait.
Fairview Lakes - Munford said fishing was good for shoreline anglers, throwing rainbow PowerBait with a full bubble on a four foot leader. Fly fishermen have had luck with sinking line and black leeches or chartreuse crystal buggers.
Ferron Reservoir - The trout limit is four, but anglers may take a bonus limit of four brookies.
Gigliotti Pond - The pond is planted with more than 600 bluegills, several dozen bass and hundreds of rainbow trout. One angler reported getting non-stop bites. Anglers should remember to dispose of garbage properly. Unwanted dead fish should be placed in the trash barrel. Clean fish at home and don't flush fish or entrails down the toilets.
Gooseberry Reservoir - Munford reports good fishing with orange PowerBait or Zeke's Sierra Gold. The water level has dropped considerably and a lot of moss is showing up, so it's best to fish the channels.
Huntington Creek - There are a lot of spooky trout just below the dam. Small dry flies such as an 18 or a 20 Griffith's gnat or para Adams have worked best. Downstream, try orange stimulators or a 16 grizzly wulffs. Below the forks, drop nightcrawlers in the deep holes for best results. Good left fork patterns have been the elk hair or Goddard caddis.
Huntington Reservoir - Fishing was slow from shore, but somewhat better from small water craft or tubes. Deep-troll nightcrawlers or gold Jake's for best results. Some tigers run between 16-19 inches. The reservoir is closed to the possession of cutthroat trout and trout with cutthroat markings.
Joes Valley Reservoir - Fishing conditions remain slow. The trout limit is two; only one over 22 inches; all trout from 15-22 inches must be immediately released.
Lasal Mountains - Sergeant Edward Meyers reports excellent fishing for rainbow trout with PowerBait at Oowah. Fishing was very good at Hidden for rainbow and tiger trout with nightcrawlers. Fishing was spotty at Don's for splake and tiger trout using spinners.
Scofield Reservoir - Munford, who hooked a four-pound rainbow trout last weekend, reported that shoreline fishing is best just as the sun comes up. Success slows way down during the day. Dead redside shiners seem to be the best bait. Fish a minnow with a half full bubble or try a nightcrawler/marshmallow combination. Boaters are generally having better success than bank fishermen. Trollers have to contend with moss and other aquatic vegetation as the reservoir becomes more shallow.
