42 U.S. Code § 12112 - Discrimination
(a) General rule
No covered entity shall discriminate against a qualified individual on the basis of disability in regard to job application procedures, the hiring, advancement, or discharge of employees, employee compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.
(b) Construction
As used in subsection (a) of this section, the term "discriminate against a qualified individual on the basis of disability" includes—
(1) limiting, segregating, or classifying a job applicant or employee in a way that adversely affects the opportunities or status of such applicant or employee because of the disability of such applicant or employee;
(2) participating in a contractual or other arrangement or relationship that has the effect of subjecting a covered entity's qualified applicant or employee with a disability to the discrimination prohibited by this subchapter (such relationship includes a relationship with an employment or referral agency, labor union, an organization providing fringe benefits to an employee of the covered entity, or an organization providing training and apprenticeship programs);
(3) utilizing standards, criteria, or methods of administration—
(4) excluding or otherwise denying equal jobs or benefits to a qualified individual because of the known disability of an individual with whom the qualified individual is known to have a relationship or association;
(A) not making reasonable accommodations to the known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified individual with a disability who is an applicant or employee, unless such covered entity can demonstrate that the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the operation of the business of such covered entity; or
(6) using qualification standards, employment tests or other selection criteria that screen out or tend to screen out an individual with a disability or a class of individuals with disabilities unless the standard, test or other selection criteria, as used by the covered entity, is shown to be job-related for the position in question and is consistent with business necessity; and
(7) failing to select and administer tests concerning employment in the most effective manner to ensure that, when such test is administered to a job applicant or employee who has a disability that impairs sensory, manual, or speaking skills, such test results accurately reflect the skills, aptitude, or whatever other factor of such applicant or employee that such test purports to measure, rather than reflecting the impaired sensory, manual, or speaking skills of such employee or applicant (except where such skills are the factors that the test purports to measure).
(c) Covered entities in foreign countries
(1) In general
It shall not be unlawful under this section for a covered entity to take any action that constitutes discrimination under this section with respect to an employee in a workplace in a foreign country if compliance with this section would cause such covered entity to violate the law of the foreign country in which such workplace is located.
(2) Control of corporation
(A) Presumption
If an employer controls a corporation whose place of incorporation is a foreign country, any practice that constitutes discrimination under this section and is engaged in by such corporation shall be presumed to be engaged in by such employer.
(B) Exception
This section shall not apply with respect to the foreign operations of an employer that is a foreign person not controlled by an American employer.
(C) Determination
For purposes of this paragraph, the determination of whether an employer controls a corporation shall be based on—
of the employer and the corporation.
(d) Medical examinations and inquiries
(1) In general
The prohibition against discrimination as referred to in subsection (a) of this section shall include medical examinations and inquiries.
(2) Preemployment
(A) Prohibited examination or inquiry
Except as provided in paragraph (3), a covered entity shall not conduct a medical examination or make inquiries of a job applicant as to whether such applicant is an individual with a disability or as to the nature or severity of such disability.
(3) Employment entrance examination
A covered entity may require a medical examination after an offer of employment has been made to a job applicant and prior to the commencement of the employment duties of such applicant, and may condition an offer of employment on the results of such examination, if—
(B) information obtained regarding the medical condition or history of the applicant is collected and maintained on separate forms and in separate medical files and is treated as a confidential medical record, except that—
(i) supervisors and managers may be informed regarding necessary restrictions on the work or duties of the employee and necessary accommodations;
(ii) first aid and safety personnel may be informed, when appropriate, if the disability might require emergency treatment; and
(4) Examination and inquiry
(A) Prohibited examinations and inquiries
A covered entity shall not require a medical examination and shall not make inquiries of an employee as to whether such employee is an individual with a disability or as to the nature or severity of the disability, unless such examination or inquiry is shown to be job-related and consistent with business necessity.
(B) Acceptable examinations and inquiries
A covered entity may conduct voluntary medical examinations, including voluntary medical histories, which are part of an employee health program available to employees at that work site. A covered entity may make inquiries into the ability of an employee to perform job-related functions.

So Samsung has finally annouced the I7500. This is going to be there first Android phone and a lot of people are eagerly anticipating the new phone. The new phone looks rather impressive actually. It will carry all the standard phone goodies like being a quad band phone, 5 MP Camera, MicroSD support, but it will also have some extras like 8GB of internal memory, Wi-Fi, and even hand writting recognition.
One cool feature the phone will have is geotagging. This is a feature that allows you to take a photo and then "tag" the location of where it was taken.
This will be Samsung's first attempt at a Android phone. There is going to be some stiff competition as almost all major manufacturers are planning on releasing an Android phone this year.
The Samsung I7500 so far has been anounced for O2 in Europe but it does support T-Mobile 3G (1700Mhz band) so it does give a suspecion that T-Mobile in the US will be getting it somewhere down the line.
For now the expected release is some time in June 2009. Keep checking back our blog for a full review as soon the Samsung I7500 is out for a full review.

"Exceptional variety of food and flavors. Very impressed with USD Catering!"
"I wanted to tell everyone how simply exquisite the food, wine and service were. My own opinion aside, I can tell you I spoke with at least two dozen guests last night who simply raved and raved about the exceptional taste, flavor, and appearance of the entrees. The wine selection was also wonderfully matched to the entrees, and deserved great praise. Everything about the evening was a Five Star Success, and we owe it to all of you and your colleagues in the kitchen, the dining room wait staff, and support staff who made this year's dinner even more memorable than last year's wonderful dinner. Please accept and extend my thanks to everyone for an incredible job so well done."
"We've received nothing but compliments on the food. Your staff is accommodating and customer-satisfaction driven… great to work with."

"Menu selections are very good. USD's flexibility of selections is very helpful. We are very grateful to USD for your efforts to help make our event such a success."
"Thank you for being flexible and offering another steak option to fit our budget. The catering staff was very helpful and friendly during set-up. Thank you also for providing the specialty tablecloths and napkins for our themed event."
"The customer service and attention to detail was great. Even though we had to move our party at the last minute due to rain, the staff was very accommodating and very, very helpful. The attendees raved at how tasty and well prepared everything was and they ate everything!"
"Everything was great! I would recommend USD Catering to anyone doing an event on campus. Very easy to work with and prompt in answering my questions. The people I talked to that were bringing the food in were very nice and professional. Everything was set up the way I asked and on time. Everything was great! We especially loved the desserts."

Titusville murder suspect talked about killing, 'Dexter' TV show
Suspected killer told another man about killing Michelle Chappell, police say
A man suspected of killing a Titusville woman and dismembering her body told another man, who is also facing charges in the incident, about the slaying, according to Local 6 news partner Florida Today
William L. Weber was arrested Monday on accusations he tried to sell three bracelets, worth about $130, at Value Pawn, 515 Cheney Highway. Police said those bracelets belonged to Michelle Renee Chappell, 41, who was found dead Saturday at a home in the 200 block of Avilez Boulevard.
According to a report for Weber's arrest, the bracelets were sold about 4 p.m. the day of Chappell's death. It says Weber told investigators the pawn shop paid $130 for two of the bracelets and he was paid $30 for the transaction by the homicide suspect.
Weber "acknowledged that during the ride in the vehicle the suspect talked about killing and the show, 'Dexter,'" the report reads. He said "he was also present while the suspect told what he had done to the victim of the homicide and offered to be shown the body of the victim."
'Dexter' is a Showtime cable television drama that tells the story of a police blood-spatter analyst who is also a serial killer. The show is set in Miami.
Titusville police said the suspect, Christian Joseph Murphy, 21, was killed in a crash in Camden County, Ga. after he and a 15-year-old runaway fled the area in a car taken from Chappell's home. Police said Murphy and the teen were fleeing police at the time they crashed.
The 15-year-old girl has been charged in the Murphy' death. Police followed the car along Interstate 95 from Florida to Georgia and she eventually lost control and crashed near Woodbine -- about 50 miles north of Jacksonville, Fla. Murphy died in the crash and The Florida Times-Union reports authorities have charged the girl with homicide by vehicle, fleeing and attempting to elude police and receiving stolen property.
The girl is being held in the Regional Youth Detention Center in Waycross.

Finally some pictures have surfaced with close-ups of a device that might be the next generation of Nokia phones.Up till now, we've only had leaked pictures, component images and patent application drawings to fuel speculation about what Nokia's very unique Windows Phone 8 might look like.
The phone in the pics has a boxy design, like the shape of a deck of cards. One of my first thoughts: if you aren't connected by Bluetooth or a headset, the edges might make it tiring to hold for a long period of time.
The views also show elongated speaker grilles down one whole side. The phone is supposed to feature DTS sound - multichannel audio technology that is known for surround sound formats. The poor quality of speaker sound in portable devices today is almost as big a deal as battery life. DTS could mean a big leap forward in the audio experience. From a design standpoint, we can't imagine speakers extended the whole length of the handset. Maybe it's just for effect.
There's a lot that pictures can't tell. So the rumors of specs like a quad-core SoC, 12-megapixel camera and 4.5-inch HD screen should be taken with a big grain of salt.
Of course, this is all just a guess at whether these models are sourced from Nokia or rendered from legitimate hardware images or specs, but they are interesting. Maybe, we'll hear more on September 5th when Nokia and Microsoft hold their press event.
No matter what, a boxy design like this would be a real departure from the Apple, HTC and Samsung smooth, rounder edged and stylized cases we love right now. Windows 8 or not, I'd feel like Nokia's new device is drawing attention to my hand the way my eyes can't help but notice to a Nissan Cube on the street.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Looking back on the year 2012 in technology, it was the best of times, and it was the worst of times. And 2013 is going to be just as tumultuous.
Indeed, the tech business has increasingly become a story of haves and have-nots. The companies with solid mobile strategies are far outperforming slow movers or those stuck in the past. And even among firms focused on mobile technology, it's increasingly looking like a winner-take-all market, with room for only a highly successful few at the top.
"I think this is going to be an era of turbulence and turmoil as everyone scrambles to figure out where their unique niche is," said Paul Saffo, managing director of foresight at Discern Inc.
PC malaise
The PC industry was, of course among the hardest hit, as Microsoft Corp.'s MSFT, -0.23% Windows 8 has not yet revived sales since its late-October launch, and many are doubtful it will do so. Total PC sales for 2012 are expected to be either flat or down slightly, for the first time in over a decade, according to forecasts.
Outlook 2013: Predictions for the tech world
How important will mobile be in 2013 and how will struggling tech companies try to compete? MarketWatch's Therese Poletti and Dan Gallagher discuss predictions for the tech industry in 2013.
"The whole 'Wintel' market needs to get back on its feet and have a better sense of direction," said Ken Dulaney, referring to the duopoly of Microsoft's Windows software and chips developed by Intel Corp. INTC, -0.53% INTC, -0.53% which set the architecture standard of the PC business.
But as consumers and businesses find they can complete many tasks on tablets and smartphones, fewer see the need to spend money upgrading their PCs. While no one is predicting the death of the PC anytime soon, future growth is going to be slim, and the device is evolving, with many manufacturers trying out new designs, such as those that meld a tablet with a laptop.
"The PC has now been reduced to the status of marvelous peripheral," said Saffo. "It's really peripheral to our smartphones and tablets. It's not quite headed the way of the IBM Selectric [typewriter], but companies dependent on the PC, as Intel is discovering, should have gotten a whole more serious about mobile devices a whole lot sooner."
Chip war
The battle between Intel and chip firms that used designs from ARM Holdings PLC ARMH, -1.76% ARMH, -1.76% is likely to get more fierce.
Companies making ARM-based chips are trying try to find their way into Intel-dominated fields like desktops and servers, with Intel still struggling to make its own dent in the mobile market. The chip giant is virtually invisible in smartphones and tablets, leading some to wonder if it can make up for years of lost ground.
At the same time, Intel is looking for a new chief executive. Last month, CEO Paul Otellini surprised investors with the news he would step down in May, saying it was time for someone else to lead the world's largest chip maker. Intel's shares are down more than 15% for the year, reflecting investor jitters over its future.
"In mobility we saw the acceleration of ARM, and that has really started to affect Intel's business," said Crawford del Prete, an IDC analyst. "Intel is going to push even harder with its response to that. Whether it's a change in direction or what, it's going to be massively interesting to watch."

Product Details
Universal 15-1/4" Race Belt Driven Fan (2715) by Flex-a-lite®. Reverse rotation, 15-1/4" Fan Diameter, 6 Aluminum Blades, 8000 RPM. 5/8 in. Pilot. 1-3/4 - 2-1/2 in. Bolt Pattern. The fan has been tested and proven both on and off the track to ensure that it fully meets your expectations. The part has features a rigid blade design and performs almost silently while maximizing cooling efficiency.
- Rigid blade design
- Reduced engine drag results
- Improved horsepower and gas mileage
- Less overall clearance is required as the blades will not flex towards the radiator
- One-year warranty on materials and workmanship
- Proudly manufactured in the United States
As a rule, a car radiator is paired with a cooling fan that blows air through the radiator to perform one of the most crucial tasks, and it is to cool the engine. The fan increases the air mass that flows through the radiator core and thus prevents the engine heat from destroying the radiator itself, as well as seals, gaskets, hoses, etc. Belt-driven and electric fans are two general types of cooling fan systems. The first type relies on mechanical energy and uses pulleys to turn the blades. It rotates slower compared to the electric contestant, however, it is longer-lasting. It's also easy to maintain and repair. And if you're looking to equip your vehicle with a belt-driven fan, you've come to the right place!
Have you ever asked yourself a question like 'Do I have the right fan for my cooling needs?' If so, then you probably have some serious problems with your cooling fan and need a highly efficient replacement. The Flex-a-lite fan is a perfect way to go to stay always cool. There's a lot of pride and care that goes into every Flex-a-lite product, including belt-driven fans. The fan is designed to be inexpensive and lightweight, yet still providing maximum cooling. And because it puts less stress on your water pump bearings, it helps to extend the lifespan of your pump. Also, don't forget that the Flex-a-lite fan is backed by an unbeatable one-year warranty that will give you the confidence you deserve.48.05Brand: Flex-a-lite Part Number: 2715 UPC: 088657027151
Flex-a-lite is a third-generation business that has been in the automotive industry for over half a century. In 1962, Eddy Davis, who was an Army Air Corps pilot in England during the Second World War, set up Flex-a-lite with the original 'flex fan' concept. The company is currently based in Fife, Washington, and run by Lisa Chissus, Eddy's granddaughter. Lisa is the one who invented the now patented Flex-a-fit radiator sidetank design that provides superior heat transfer. Though Flex-a-lite continues to look for innovative performance cooling solutions, one thing that hasn't changed since the company's foundation is that all products are still engineered and manufactured in the USA, with American hands.

Two of NASCAR's young stars spent some of their valuable off-circuit free time to lift the spirits of deployed servicemen and women.
USO entertainment veteran Joey Logano and two-time and reigning NASCAR Nationwide Series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. teamed up with the USO to deliver good times and holiday cheer to troops spending the holiday season overseas in the Middle East and Germany. Logano and Stenhouse extended America's thanks to our men and women in uniform with appreciation of their service, sacrifice and dedication.
Stenhouse Jr., left, and Joey Logano pose for a photo with members of the Pennsylvania and South Carolina Army National Guard as part of their recent USO tour to Kuwait on Dec. 8. The two drivers visited six installations and touched the lives of hundreds of servicemen and women serving overseas.
Logano shares a laugh with U. S. Army Major Jonathan Dilmore from Tully, N.Y., as part of a USO tour to deliver a touch of home to troops serving in Kuwait and Germany.
"We had the chance to meet some amazing men and women on our USO tour," Logano said. "I have so much respect for our troops; they do their jobs day in and day out without complaint and are always giving it their all. We are lucky to have these men and women serving and protecting our country, and I can't thank them enough for all that they do."
NASCAR's Ricky Stenhouse Jr., left, and Joey Logano plant kisses on U.S. Army Spec. Katherine Kelley from Williamsport, Pa., on Dec. 8. After meeting troops serving in the Middle East and Germany, the NASCAR stars wrapped up their USO tour by visiting recovering troops at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, also located in Germany.
NASCAR drivers Joey Logano (l) and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. autograph items for troops serving in Kuwait on Dec. 8.
"My first USO tour was an amazing experience," Stenhouse Jr. said. "It was an honor to meet our troops and see them in action. The service and sacrifice of these men and women and their families is inspiring and I have nothing but admiration and gratitude for what they do for our country."

|Carbon High softball player, Jenni Jones, goes in for a bunt against Lehi at the Canyons Softball Complex in St. George on Friday, May 13.
Carbon High softball cleaned up Grantsville on Thursday, May 12 with a 5-1 win, but was overtaken by Lehi who had an 8-2 win over Carbon in the game that eliminated the Dinos from the tournament.
The 3A state tournament started out great for the girls of Carbon high softball after a stumble at the beginning of the first round against Snow Canyon, who won 8-7. But later that same day, the girls redeemed themselves with an incredible win against Ben Lomond 11-4.
On Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. Carbon went up against Grantsville in the one-loss bracket at the Canyons Softball Complex in St. George.
Grantsville, who has a 13-9 record for the year, came out and played hard against Carbon. Grantsville had five hits in the game, but with some great defense from the girls of Carbon, found it impossible to complete more than one run.
The game started off slow for Carbon, but in the bottom of the first, Grantsville completed their first and only run of the game.
Carbon fought back by coming into the top of the third and scoring the first two of their five runs. In the top of the fourth, Carbon scored one more run.
By the end of the fifth inning, with a lead of 5-1, it was obvious for everyone in the crowd that the Grantsville Cowboys were soon to be dismissed from the tournament with an agonizing loss against Carbon.
Brooke Herrick, daughter of Carbon High title winning baseball coach, Lane Herrick obviously learned something from her father when she scored one RBI, a double and a triple against Grantsville.
Morgan Warburton was another star of the game when she pitched a complete game for Carbon, allowing only five hits and just one run.
After the incredible win by the Dinos, the Cowboys were eliminated from the state tournament, and Carbon kept themselves afloat in the one-loss bracket.
Carbon went out the next day unsure of who their next opponent would be. Carbon High would play the winner of the Pine View and Lehi game that was played at 11 a.m. on Friday.
Unfortunately for Carbon, Lehi eliminated Pine View from the tournament with a 6-2 win.
Carbon High came out onto the field with the determination to take home a title, but didn't quite succeed after a tough game against Lehi. Megan Zimmerman of Lehi warmed up for Carbon with a three run double in the sixth against Pine View in their previous game.
Zimmerman hit a homer against Carbon, while Jessica Anderson hit two doubles in a win that kept Lehi alive in the one-loss bracket. Lehi dominated the game against the Dinos, but even at the bottom of the seventh Carbon played hard with the determination of the incredible team that they are.
Lehi went on to win North Sanpete 5-2, and Union 10-2 on Friday, and Snow Canyon 14-0 on Saturday, while Carbon High was eliminated from the tournament.
Lehi came close to taking home the 3A title, but was dismissed with a flawless 3-1 win from Tooele, who took home their third 3A title in softball in three years.
Even after an agonizing loss for the softball team, the girls went out and supported the baseball team in their 3A title winning game.

CANTON The details differed, but two witnesses testified Monday in St. Lawrence County Court to being aware of plans for a job the night an 83-year-old Ogdensburg man died after three masked men allegedly entered his Ford Street apartment to steal cash and prescription pills.
Ogdensburg residents Anthony W. Lalonde, Michael S. Thorpe and Michael D. Durand are facing charges of second-degree murder and first-degree robbery in connection with the Nov. 18, 2010, death of Ralph E. Gene Lawton.
Brandi Gardner testified that her then-husband, Victor Gardner, was part of discussions for planning a job earlier that day with several other people, including Mr. Lalonde, during a social gathering. Ms. Gardner said that she was not part of the discussions, as she was in another room, and that she understood only that the matter was something not legal. She said that her husband asked her if he could participate and that she rejected the idea.
Ogdensburg resident Andrew C. Wells, 26, also spoke of being part of the discussion about a plan that involved two Mikes and Tony, and he said Ms. Gardner was in the room at the time. Mr. Wells said he was only part of talks and did not participate in any later activities. He said he brought a wooden sledgehammer handle to the gathering but never saw it again.
In her opening statements Friday, Assistant District Attorney Amanda N. Nissen said of the masked men that evidence will prove the defendants were the assailants, one of whom allegedly brandished a wooden stick with a sharp wire attached.
Lalonde, then 31, of 1106 Ford St.; Thorpe, then 25, of 904 Elizabeth St.; and Durand, then 29, of 513 Elizabeth St., are accused of causing severe injuries to Mr. Lawton that led to his death; an autopsy showed he received numerous blows to the chest.
Mr. Lawtons roommate, Guy C. Bartlett, then 64, has testified that the intruders never hit Mr. Lawton. Mr. Bartlett maintains the intruders picked him up and threw him onto the older, smaller man.
The men allegedly fled with more than $1,000 and prescription drugs.
Mr. Wells initially testified that he did not know whose apartment was to be robbed. Under questioning by Durands attorney, Gary W. Miles, he acknowledged that he told police last year that Victor told me they were planning on robbing old man Gene.
Tara A. Moncrief, 22, of Ogdensburg, testified that she had previously bought crack cocaine and pills from Mr. Lawton, and was on her way to his apartment to buy an OxyContin painkiller pill from him the night he died, and a female friend came with her. She said she was high on muscle-relaxants as she headed up the stairs, when three men in ski masks ran out of the apartment and down the stairs.
Ms. Moncrief said that inside she saw Mr. Bartlett on the floor with Mr. Lawton, whom she said she tried to resuscitate before police and emergency crews arrived.
Ms. Moncrief admitted under defense questioning to helping steal a sweatshirt filled with drugs from the apartment about two months previously, as Mr. Lawton slept.
Another witness scheduled to testify Monday, Brandee Arquette, was arrested under warrant at about 4 p.m. after she didnt appear and allegedly tried to evade DAs office officials.

Should the Mets promote Matt Harvey?
In 18 starts for Triple-A Buffalo this season, Matt Harvey is 7-4 with a 3.39 ERA, having allowed 37 earned runs, 87 hits, with 42 walks and 102 strikeouts in 98 1/3 innings.
Harvey pitches tonight against the Toledo Mud Hens, which you can watch live on SNY at 7:00 pm.
This past weekend, Terry Collins said that, in all likelihood, Harvey or Miguel Batista will start next Saturday's game against the Dodgers at Citi Field.
According to Collins, tonight's start is essentially an 'audition,' since, as Andy McCullough said on Twitter, "A plethora of Mets officials will be there."
Last week, Wally Backman had the following to say about Harvey's progress in the Daily News:
[jbox color="white"]"He'll take a lump or two if they call him up. But his fastball command is much improved. He can help them. … He's gotten better at getting the ball down in the zone, hitting his spots with the fastball instead of just overpowering guys at this level. His curveball is major-league quality and he's getting better with his changeup."[/jbox]
Over his last 10 starts, Harvey is 4-3 with a 2.72 ERA. He's allowed 44 hits, 24 walks while striking out 64 in 56 1/3 innings, holding opponents to a .210 average over that span.

Titanic in 3D Includes Neil Tyson's Star Fix
by AMNH on
Today's re-release of James Cameron's blockbuster film Titanic in 3D will feature just one altered shot: a corrected view of the stars in the early hours of April 15, 1912, the day the "unsinkable" British ocean liner went down in the Atlantic Ocean.
The adjustment was made in response to feedback that Cameron, who is known for his meticulous attention to detail, received from Hayden Planetarium Director Neil deGrasse Tyson, who noticed an inaccuracy in the film after it was first released in 1997.
Creatures of Light Offers Window Into Bioluminescent World

The Museum's latest exhibition, which lets visitors explore a series of ecosystems that sparkle with radiant creatures, is a uniquely immersive experience.
En route to the deep-sea homes of luminous fishes, visitors walk through a field of flashing fireflies, explore caves strung with jewel-like glowworms, and "wade" through a digital bioluminescent bay that glitters underneath each step. Overhead, a symphonic soundtrack composed by Tom Phillips helps set a distinct mood for each section, contributing to a magical setting in what Edward Rothstein of The New York Timescalled "a thoroughly engrossing exhibition."

Judging from the hysteria of certain Senators and their lapdogs in the press, one might be justified in thinking that evil terrorists were all just walking down to the corner shop to legally purchase AK-47s and explosives. But the facts beg to differ.
Democratic Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey and several cohorts recently stirred up a firestorm of controversy by attempting to exploit fears of terrorism in a blatant attack on due process and the right to keep and bear arms. Gun-rights groups from the National Rifle Association and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms to Gun Owners of America all blasted his anti-constitutional legislation when versions were first proposed years ago. But unfortunately, he refuses to let it die.

The new schedule, adopted by the town council on Thursday, keeps him listed as a part-time employee because he will be working less than 20 hours a week. Because he is now technically a part-time employee it also exempts him from needing to take the state exam.
When the test is given we have to take [one of the] top three or else put him back as a part-timer, Town Supervisor James W. Armstrong said.
Under the new arrangement the town doesnt need to worry about whether or not Mr. Sherwin performs well on the exam.
Prior to May Mr. Sherwin was working between 12 and 15 hours per week at $18 per hour. In May the town council approved increasing his hours to 24 hours per week on a provisional basis until he can take the civil service exam.
But town budget officer William E. Dashnaw suggested making Mr. Sherwin a part time employee again to keep things simple for the town.
Mr. Dashnaw said Mr. Sherwin can work more hours during the summer to keep up with busy building seasons but then do less in the winter to even it out.
Mr. Dashnaw also suggested making the position salaried instead of dependent on an hourly wage. That would allow the town to drop Mr. Sherwins hours without reducing his salary, Mr. Dashnaw said.
Including a two percent raise planned for the 2014 fiscal year, Mr. Sherwin will be making $24,975 a year.
I think hes done a good job, Town Councilor Alan D. Dailey said, supporting the maneuver.
Mr. Sherwin said he still plans on taking the exam which he expects to be offered in June because it could help his career in the future.
The town council was unanimous in its support for the new arraignment.

The vote is largely seen as a test run for Chancellor Angela Merkel, her rivals and would-be heirs, eight months before nationwide polls. German Chancellor Angela Merkel's party was ahead after the first state poll in a general election year, exit polls indicated, but it was unclear whether its coalition would cling to power.

Details of Frankenstein oddities
Here are a couple of shots of the modified oil pump. Basically plugging the original return passage and drilling out for the new one.
Try this link if you don't see pics.
Here's a shot of the camcover gasket area, showing the 2 drillings made to get oil to the big end:
This shows the mods to the Camcover. 1 hole and a little weld added to get a bigger pad for better sealing.
And here's a shot of the Sportster mainshaft and main bearing. Because I'm using Sporty stroker wheels it was no big deal to use the mainshaft.
Just thought some of you might be interested in seeing some of the actual metal, instead of just drawings. If I did it again, I'd just use an external line from the pump to the oil gallery in the camcover. This way was a bit tough to seal at first, but hasn't given any trouble.
And I did make one other change this time. I switched to black silicone seal so it won't show up so boldly in the photos!!!. (I did a final cleanup be fore ass'y, so all the bits of orange didn't stay in the engine!!)

Qualifying medalist Adam Brown shot seven shots worse than he did the day before, but still won.
Thats the beauty of match play, and why the City Mens Golf Championships can be so unpredictable.
Brown, the 2005 champion who carded a fine 3-under-par 69 Saturday to lead the qualifying, barely survived his first-round match Sunday in the 2013 event at Ives Hill Country Club on Sunday. The No. 2 seeded Brown was taken to the final hole by No. 31 seed T. J. Penn before Penns birdie putt to extend the match missed by just inches.
Most of the other favorites advanced easily with just five lower seeded players moving on to the second round of match play, which must be concluded by Wednesday.
Those moving on included defending champion and top-seeded John Bufalini, who beat No. 32 Brendan Laverty 8 and 7. Bufalini will next play No. 17 seed and Ives Hill teammate Steve Ahlgrim, the 1989 champion, who ousted No. 16 Bryan Clark 5 and 4.
Eleven-time winner Bob Hughes, the No. 3 seed, had little trouble with No. 30 Shane Smith, winning 6 and 5. He has a tough second-round match against last years runner-up, No. 19 Chris Denesha, who topped No. 14 Todd Slate 4 and 3.
Another former champion moving on was No. 8 seed Joe Tufo, an 8 and 7 winner over No. 25 Mike Bamann. Tufo next draws No. 9 George LaBarr, an impressive 8 and 7 winner over No. 24 Norm Stephenson.
James Ambrose, the No. 4 seed also seeking a second city title, defeated No. 29 Pearce Parsons 3 and 2. Ambrose will play veteran Jeff Fallon, the No. 13 seed, who disposed of No. 20 Mike Bufalini 6 and 4.
And former champion Tim Phillips, the No. 6 seed, was also taken to the final hole before surviving against No. 27 Jim Nevers. Phillips is next matched against No. 22 Glenn Gleason, who knocked off No. 11 Joel Daily 5 and 4.
The only ex-champion to lose was No. 12 seed Toby Draper, who fell 4 and 2 against No. 21 Don Rutherford. Rutherford will next play No. 5 seed Paul Ahlgrim, a 6 and 4 winner against No. 28 Mike Donnelly.
The only other upset saw No. 23 Dan Mullin eliminate No. 10 Chadd Call 3 and 2. Mullin faces No. 7 Shawn Thomas, who beat No. 26 Josh Sullivan 2 and 1.
Browns next opponent is No. 15 Brian Phillips, a 4 and 3 winner over No. 18 Steve Widrick. Brown said his game wasnt nearly as sharp as Saturday, but was just good enough to survive and advance.
Brown won three of the first four holes to seize an early advantage against Penn. But then came a string of five straight Brown bogeys on holes 5-9 as he watched Penn take a 1 up lead heading to the back nine.
Brown won 10 and 11 to go back on top, but then lost 12 and 13 to fall down a hole again. They were even through 15 and 16 before Penn hit his second shot to the 17th hole over the green and could salvage only a double-bogey 6 to go dormie.
Brown missed his birdie putt on 18, giving Penn a chance to draw even. But his 15 footer just missed, and Brown avoided the upset that befell medalist Steve Ahlgrim last year in the first round when both he and defending champion Ryan Clark were both ousted.
I didnt putt nearly as well today, Brown said, but I still hit the ball solidly. When the putts arent falling, its tough to pull away in match play.
Said Penn: I wasnt happy with the way I qualified (shooting 83 to barely make the championship flight cut). But today I played a lot better and really had a chance on the final few holes.
Bufalini shot a 2-under-par 34 on his front nine, then finished his match on 11 with another birdie against Laverty.
A very solid day, Bufalini said. But it just gets tougher from now on, especially against Steve.

CANTON A majority of St. Lawrence County legislators are in favor of raising the states minimum wage as proposed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
Legislator Sallie A. Brothers, D-Norfolk, recently offered a resolution of support for the proposal to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.75 per hour.
I support it completely, she said. These people are facing increased expenses related to fuel, gas and food for their families. I would like to see people in our county getting a little more money and be able to pay the bills.
Mrs. Brotherss resolution was approved 9-4 at a legislative committee meeting, with Republicans Mark H. Akins, Lisbon; Joseph R. Lightfoot, Ogdensburg; Alex A. MacKinnon, Fowler, and Daniel F. Parker, Potsdam, opposed.
At the suggestion of Mr. Parker, legislators agreed to remove language from the resolution that touted the economic benefits of raising the minimum wage and made claims of job growth that some found questionable.
Republicans opposed to the increase did not argue that minimum wage workers do not deserve a raise, but worried that the percentage increase is too high and could have the unintended consequence of raising prices as employers pass along their costs.
I just dont think this is the time to do it given the economic fix were in, Mr. Lightfoot said. I dont see where this is the answer.
Legislator Donald A. Peck, R-Gouverneur, said that he had worried as well about the percentage increase proposed by Gov. Cuomo but that several Gouverneur businesses told him they already were paying hourly salaries above the minimum wage, ranging from $8.35 to $8.50.
Job losses often threatened by businesses facing increases in the minimum wage rarely happen, said Legislator Stephen M. Putman, D-Canton.
People earning minimum wage tend to spend every penny they earn, which pumps more money into the economy, he said.
The lowest paid workers in New York state need this, said Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction.

Everything you ever wanted to know about teen depression is on the Internet. Just type in the words "teen depression," and it's all there. In a website entitled Teen Depression, I found the following:
Depression is the most common mental health disorder in the United States among teens and adults, and can have a serious impact on the lives of the many teens who suffer from depression.
Teen depression can affect a teen regardless of gender, social background, income level, race, or school or other achievements, though teenage girls report suffering from depression more often than teenage boys. Teenage boys are less likely to seek help or recognize that they suffer from depression, probably due to different social expectations for boys and girls — girls are encouraged to express their feelings while boys are not. Teenage girls' somewhat stronger dependence on social ties, however, can increase the chances of teen depression being triggered by social factors, such as loss of friends.
Note that the depression suffered by these teens is serious enough to require medical intervention, which generally includes psychiatric therapy and taking drugs to alleviate the mental pain caused by depression. Apparently there are also many depressed teens who manage to cope and don't seek medical treatment. Some of them commit suicide to alleviate the pain of being alive.
Here is a list of symptoms of teen depression as given on a website for the drug Abilify:

The Mayor has formed a Sustainability Solutions team tasked with reviewing best practices and making recommendations about the role of sustainability in Colorado Springs City government. Interested parties were solicited by the Mayor's Office and assembled on Dec. 6 for an initial meeting to discuss the meaning and role of sustainability. A team is going to make more formal recommendations over the course of the next few months on the role of conservation and sustainability for our City. Updates on this team and its recommendations will continue to be featured and highlighted on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/cs.ois. The team is expected to make recommendations by the end of March 2013.
The City's 2011 inventory of the organization's green house gases continues a trend that mirrors service levels, rising from a low in 2010. The 2011 74,700 metric tons of green house emissions are equivalent to the amount of energy used by 3,844 homes annually, the sequestration capacity of 61 acres of conifer forest per year, or 321 railcars of coal.In 2011, the City was still well below its 2007 baseline - a year that well represents business levels before the recession's economic impact. One of areas largely responsible for lowering the City's emissions during this time was the darkening of streetlights, which account for about 20 percent of the City's total emissions. Though not required by industry protocols, the City also tracks its emissions from employee commuting (fuel use) and trash disposal (gasses produced by the landfill), which each make up about 7 percent. Perhaps the most relevant year-to-year comparison is the average carbon footprint per employee, which may best capture operational reductions.
Looking for a thoughtful, creative stocking stuffer to get New Year resolutions off to the right start? The Colorado Springs Bicycle Mapis a comprehensive fold-out map on water- and tear-resistant paper that shows 100 miles of bicycle lanes, roadways with paved shoulders, 110+ miles of off-street multi-use trails, traffic volumes for roads without bicycle facilities, bike shop locations, parks and open spaces, Mountain Metro stops and park-n-rides, and steep streets to watch out for (or find – depending on how many holiday splurges you may have indulged in). Visit www.springsgov.com/bikemap to find a local bike map retailer or buy one online – they're $7.95 plus tax. Plus, map proceeds help fund future bicycle map updates and other bicycle-related improvements.
This year's Give! 2012 campaign is on track to raise more funds and support more local non-profits than ever before. Why? Because donating will also get you cool rewards like coffee, gallery admissions, tacos and the chance to qualify to win a Heuburger Subaru car or SunShare solar panels. Nearly 20 green-minded non-profits are available for your support from Blue Star Recyclers to Chico Basin Ranch, from Coalition for the Upper South Platte to Rocky Mountain Field Institute, from Ellicott Wildlife and Rehabilitation Center to Pikes Peak Recycling on the Rise, plus many more worthy causes. The groups that get the most donors under the age of 36 will win additional cash prizes (up to $5,000 extra) and matching grants mean that even contributing the minimum $10 donation can add up to much more. Get involved in your community. Visit indygive.com by Dec. 31 to learn about all of the participating non-profits, check out the rewards, and donate either time or money to the causes of your choice!
In 2010, the City of Colorado Springs received a $3,666,100 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The City partnered with Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) to use a portion of the funds piloting a program to provideauditing and retrofits in collaboration with higher education institution students.The program offered participants an opportunity to have a free energy audit and report, with financial support for retrofits through CSU rebates and ARRA funds. Students (pictured) worked with Farnsworth Group – a local provider of professional grade commercial audits. Buildings varied by structure and style, including offices, schools and an apartment complex, to provide the students with a range of learning opportunities. Of the 15 participants audited, nine went on to finance improvements. Those nine averaged a 2.5-year estimated payback on their investment and collectively saved 206,000 kWhof electricity and 15,600 therms of natural gas. In a year-to-year comparison, the actual savings are better than had been predicted at 6 percent for electricity use and 15 percent for gas use, which translates into about $30,000 in cumulative annual savings back to participants' bottom lines.
Colorful road signs proclaiming "Solar Friendly Community" are about to start popping up around Colorado. But, what does being a Solar Friendly Community mean and how can Colorado Springs and other Pikes Peak region communities join Cities such as Denver to become one? On Dec. 12, Program Director Rebecca Cantwell will present Solar Friendly Communities' 12 Best Practices: Roadmap to a Solar Friendly Community as a free City Green Bag Lunch-n-Learn on how communities can work on streamlining their processes and make solar permitting easier for both citizens and city or county staff. The new program offers a menu of 12 best practices and technical assistance to get any county, city or town on its way to achieving bronze, silver, gold or platinum recognition as a Solar Friendly Community. The lunch-n-learn runs over the noon lunch hour, from 12:11 to 12:49 p.m., at the City Administration Building, 30 S. Nevada, in Suite 102. Attendees are encouraged to bring and enjoy their lunches during the presentation. Those who come have the opportunity to win a door prize tote bag made from recycled banners (pictured). Questions?
