Academic Scholarships for Survivors
During PAF's daily interactions with patients, PAF staff often interface with patients who either themselves or a loved one has experienced the impact of a chronic illness or life threatening disease on one's post secondary education.
In 2000, Founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board, Nancy Davenport-Ennis established the Scholarship for Survivors program to honor these individuals by offering educational scholarships to those who have suffered (or are suffering) a life threatening disease or chronic condition. These students have, despite their disease/condition, excelled academically, served the community, and desire to pursue a secondary education.
To date, PAF (along with other gracious funders) has awarded 55 scholarships totaling over $400,000; of the 55 students, 38 have achieved fully degreed graduation and 12 are still pursuing their course of study.
On behalf of Patient Advocate Foundation's Board of Directors and Scholarship Review Committee, we thank you for your interest in our 2015-2016 Scholarship for Survivors program.
The purpose of our scholarship program is to provide support to individuals that are legal residents of the United States of America, under the age of 25, who have been diagnosed with or treated for cancer and/or a chronic/life threatening disease within the past five years.

The United States Bureau of Land Management, Utah institutional trust administration and Nine Mile executive committee will give local residents a chance not only to see the changes in the canyon, but to assist with the projects on Sept. 18.
The agencies and others have scheduled a volunteer work day for that date to help with projects around Daddy Canyon as well as near the Great Hunt Panel in Cottonwood Canyon.
"We would like to welcome everyone to come out and help us on these projects," said Wayne Ludington of the BLM at a meeting of the Nine Mile committee last Thursday. "We want church groups, students, families and any other volunteers to come help us. We ask that people bring their own tools and make sure they are marked so they don't lose them."
Those who show up will be performing various tasks, like spreading gravel on trails around Daddy Canyon to putting in concrete for footings near the Great Hunt Panel for a visitors area. The total length of the trail will be about two-thirds of a mile.
Planners of the event indicate that there will be a check in area at Cottonwood Glen on Saturday morning and that afternoon a late lunch will be served for participants in the afternoon.
The committee also had a discussion about a meeting some of the members had on Aug. 19 with a representative from the National Trust for Historic Land Preservation which named Nine Mile Canyon as one of the top 11 endangered sites in the United States last May.
"They told us they could help us with a lot of things," said Kathy Smith who is on the committee. "We asked if they could help us to reverse a lot of negative publicity we have received about the canyon and they told us they could. They also have money available to help with some things. Judging by what was said I think they see the road through the canyon as being the biggest issue. They also said that they have nothing to do with regulation, but only designation of endangered areas."
The NTHP has named more than 160 places the group feels are losing character or are in danger of being destroyed in the last decade.
Most of the sites have eventually been removed from their list because of efforts by individuals and groups to change the status.
Many of the sites are buildings. When a group rehabilitates the structure, it comes off the list.
Nine Mile Canyon appears to be an usual listing for the NTHP.
"The good part is that they have a powerful lobby and we can ask them to help us with various problems," said Pam Miller of the CEU Prehistoric Museum. "And they told us if they couldn't help us they could point us in the direction in which we can get help. I think we have the chance here to move this out of the local and into the national arena. This could give our local offices support to do things they want to do. We need to do a lot of things from here and they will help, but we're still the drivers and the labor on these issues."
Nine Mile contains many historic sites, including petroglyphs, stagecoach stations, settlers cabins, ranches and iron telegraph poles installed by the 19th century Buffalo Soldiers.
The application to be placed on the list was apparently submitted by a landowner in the canyon.
"When I asked about what got us on the list they were very evasive about it," said Jim Huffaker, a representative from the College of Eastern Utah on the committee."But for the first time since I don't know when, these circumstances have us all working together."
The NTHP has considerable political clout and putting Nine Mile on the list has brought the issues involving the canyon into the national spotlight. It was determined by the committee that Steve Tanner, co-chair, should stay in touch with the NTLP on a regular basis.

Costa Maya, a port of call on a Disney Cruise Line Caribbean Cruise vacation, is a tourist region located on the Yucatán Peninsula 100 miles south of Playa del Carmen near the border of Belize in Mexico. Comprised of 2 small villages, Mahahual and Xcalak, Costa Maya provides a picture-perfect getaway the entire family is sure to love.
Things to See and Do
Amid jungle terrain and sparkling beaches, Costa Maya offers an unforgettable adventure to all who visit. Guests wanting to get closer to nature should look no further than the underwater beauty of Banco Chinchorro, considered to be the largest reef in Mexico and the second largest in the world.
History lovers on the hunt for adventure will want to spend time at Costa Maya's most famous landmark, the ruins at Chacchoben. Constructed in the 4th century by the Mayans, this ancient city includes magnificent stone structures and pyramids and was only recently opened to public.
For sun worshippers, Costa Maya's beaches are as abundant as they are beautiful. The most popular is Uvero Beach, which features sprawling white sands, clear blue water and charming eateries and shops.
Local Culture and Flavor
Costa Maya is a relatively new destination for tourists, so the area feels more authentic than many other cruise destinations. The timeless natural beauty is built around the small seaside village of nearby Mahahual, a haven for fisherman for thousands of years. Notwithstanding the restaurants, shops, pools and bars that can be found in the in the center of town, dusty dirt roads, thick green jungles and tranquil lagoons are still the norm in this part of Mexico, offering a restful retreat unlike any other.
Past and Present
Early Mayans were predominant in the area from 200 B.C. to 900 A.D. In the 16th century, English pirates ravaged the coast and battled the Spanish for control of the region. At the end of the 19th century, the Mexican Navy took over the land. A treaty with Britain was signed soon after limiting the territorial rights of Mexico, thereby forcing Mexico to build a new trade port in Xcalak.
By the 1950's, the economy was flourishing as businesses—including stone and wood construction companies—made the region a supply center for the region. Steady growth continued until the mid-1990's when the government outlined a plan to make Costa Maya a tourist destination. Today, tourism is Costa Maya's main economic revenue stream and it's easy to understand why, thanks to the island's plethora of unspoiled natural beauty that has remained untouched for thousands of years.
Fun Facts & Tips
Today, Costa Maya is home to one of the largest indigenous populations of Mayans in all of Mexico.
Although it may feel like an island, Costa Maya is actually located on a peninsula.

Peter, one of the guys here in the Recchiuti kitchen, picked up this recipe one summer while he was working in the Caribbean and was gracious enough to share his version. It's a refreshing tonic perfect for sipping while you wait out a summer thunderstorm...and just about any time in between.
• Start by bringing the water to a boil. While the water is coming to a boil, place the ginger in a plastic bag and pound the ginger until fully crushed with a rubber mallet, rolling pin, or meat tenderizer. Add the ginger to the boiling water and cook on low heat for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, turn off the heat and add the zest and sugar. Cover the pot and allow the liquid to cool. At this point if you would like to add the spices you may…some people prefer their ginger beer without. Either way, the finished product will have plenty of flavor and a little bite.
• Pour the liquid into a bowl, cover and let it sit out for at least two days. Strain the ginger beer and refrigerate. The ginger beer will not be fizzy so feel free to add some seltzer water at this point is you plan on drinking it straight.
• Pour 2 ounces of dark rum over ice and add 8 ounces of Ginger Beer. Top it off with seltzer and a small squeeze of lime juice. Stir your new favorite cocktail and enjoy!
A note on cinnamon: There are two main types of cinnamon. The most common being cassia, which will not lend itself to the Ginger Beer as well as the more delicate and sweet flavors of the Ceylon cinnamon. For more information on Ceylon cinnamon, check out our friends at Lemur International (www.lemurinc.com).
A note on rum: The traditional rum used for this cocktail is a dark rum (not spiced) much like Goslings from Bermuda. If you have a favorite rum, go ahead and use it or take this opportunity to explore others like Appleton V/X or maybe Zacapa.

|If you have a small crowd for Thanksgiving, cooking a turkey breast in the crockpot is a great option.
Even though I'm posting this when everyone's thinking about Thanksgiving Recipes, truly this is a recipe that's easy enough for any time of year. I'm not sure why I never made a turkey breast in the crockpot before, but after Dianne did it, Alanna did it, and Stephanie did it, I just had to try it too. Completely delicious results with moist and flavorful turkey, and it gave me a chance to experiment with making gluten-free and South Beach Diet friendly turkey gravy using arrowroot starch, which was also a winner. If you don't manage to plan ahead and end up having to get a turkey at the last minute when there's no time to thaw (you know who you are!) this could also be a good option for Thanksgiving Day. In fact, if you cook your turkey using this method, there are enough crockpot Thanksgiving recipes to make the entire Thanksgiving dinner in the crockpot this year. (Okay, not the rolls, but still it's something to think about!)
Crockpot Turkey Breast with Gluten-Free and South Beach Diet Friendly Gravy
(Makes about 4.5 pounds of cooked turkey and 2 cups gravy, about 6 servings. Recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from Dianne, Alanna, and Stephanie.)
1 (5 pound) turkey breast with skin and bones (thawed for a day in refrigerator, if frozen)
1 T olive oil
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried sage (rubbed sage)
1 large carrot, cut into pieces
2 ribs celery, cut into pieces
1 onion, peeled and cut into 4 pieces
2 cups chicken or turkey stock or 2 cups water with 1 T Penzeys Turkey Soup Base
about 4 tsp. arrowroot starch for gravy (or can use cornstarch, but arrowroot is low in carbs and thickens with much less starch)
I used a 4.5 quart crockpot for this recipe.
Put browned turkey breast in crockpot, then add carrots, onions, and celery. Pour turkey or chicken stock over. Cook on high until temperature in the thickest part of the meat reaches 165F; this was 2 hours and 45 minutes for me. (You can also cook on low for a longer time, probably about 5-6 hours. The temperature still needs to be 165F.)
Remove turkey breast and let rest while you make gravy. Use a fine-mesh skimmer to scoop out vegetables and skim the broth, or strain through fine strainer into small saucepan. You should have close to 2 1/2 cups broth. Bring to a boil and reduce by about 1/4, or until there is a strong turkey flavor. (I just kept tasting it as it cooked down, and stopped when it tasted good to me.)
Reduce heat so the liquid is barely at a simmer. Mix arrowroot starch with 2 T cold water, then stir gently into the simmering liquid and stop stirring once it's combined. Don't over whisk or continue to cook once it's thickened, or the gravy won't stay thick. Gravy can also be thickened with cornstarch mixed with water if you don't have arrowroot, but it will take about 1 T cornstarch per cup of liquid to get the same amount of thickness.
South Beach Suggestions:
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

POTSDAM High school students flocked to SUNY Potsdam on Thursday to learn about what they eat and where it comes from.
GardenShare, a Canton-based organization that promotes healthy, local food, held its first youth summit in 2011, pulling in almost 250 students from 30 school districts.
Its success prompted GardenShare to hold the event again. The plan is to make it a biennial tradition.
This time the summit had fewer attendees but a more definite goal: send students back with a concrete plan to improve their communities.
Teams from 20 school districts attended, comprising a total of about 180 students and teachers. They gathered in groups to learn the benefits of kitchen gardens, the tactics used by food advertisers and the options available for healthy school lunches.
Aviva M. Gold, executive director of GardenShare, said the goal is to teach teens about healthy, local food at a time in their lives when they start to be passionate about and aware of the issues that affect them.
I think its abundantly clear to everyone right now that something is wrong with our food system, she said.
After learning more about the food they eat, students gathered with their teachers to craft specific plans for how to apply these lessons to their home districts. Whether starting a school garden or a club to continue the discussion, students were urged to take action.
The idea is to find solutions that are good for the community and for ourselves and our environment, Ms. Gold said.
Brooke R.A. Lalonde, 17, of Canton High School, said she wants to start an education program in which she and her fellow high schoolers will teach children in Canton Elementary School about healthy eating.
It will definitely help us learn about food education, because well learn by teaching it, she said.
Students gathered around tables and pitched their ideas. Some suggested a hunger banquet, a fundraising dinner where one person might be served a steak dinner while another is served a bowl of rice based on a lottery draw, to raise awareness about hunger.
Terry I. Doe, a Liberty Partnership official who accompanied students from Massena High School, said it is important for students to learn about where their food comes from and how hunger affects people in the north country.
It teaches them about food issues other than whats healthy and whats not, she said.
Awareness is the most important part, Ms. Gold said.
When they make a purchase, they make a decision, to support their local economy, or healthy food, or accessible food, she said.

LISBON A teen connected with an animal rescue operation faces new animal neglect charges for alleged maltreatment of two pigs at a Forsythe Road property while charges in previous cases remain unresolved.
Aleaha R. Hollis, 19, of 53 Forsythe Road, was charged Thursday with failing to provide proper sustenance under the states Agricultural and Markets Law, a class A misdemeanor, St. Lawrence County Sheriffs deputies said, adding that investigation revealed the two animals to be malnourished and unhealthy.
Undersheriff Scott F. Bonno said Friday that it wasnt clear whether the animals had been removed from the property.
Officials at the St. Lawrence County District Attorneys office, meanwhile, confirmed that three other misdemeanor cases against Miss Hollis are still pending, including animal cruelty charges from 2011 and 2012.
Miss Hollis and her mother, Sheila Hollis, were cofounders of Last Chance Corral, a Haggart Road operation dedicated to rescuing animals from the perils of malnutrition and slaughter.
In September 2011, Miss Hollis was accused by state police of not providing proper food and water to horses, donkeys, ponies, sheep and goats in her care. Four horses and six cats were taken from the property, she was quoted as saying.
The owner of the Haggart Road property, Dorothy J. Ramsey, told the Times in 2011 that she was renting a pasture to Miss Hollis when the alleged neglect began.
She said she contacted police after noticing the condition of the animals.
Sheila Hollis responded that her daughter sometimes had trouble getting the water to turn on and accused the landlord of not properly fixing the problem.
She also said one of the horses that appeared to be underfed had been sick and refused to eat.
Miss Hollis pleaded not guilty to 22 counts of animal cruelty in that case, the earliest of the three still outstanding, according to the DAs office.
She also faces third-degree assault and trespassing charges in connection with a November 2011 incident. Police said Miss Hollis went to a home on Route 58 in Macomb, where some of her horses were being kept, after resident Amanda N. Wilson called police to accuse Miss Hollis of animal cruelty. An argument ensued, and Miss Hollis struck Ms. Wilson in the mouth, cutting her lip, police said.
The DAs office also indicated that Miss Hollis faces more charges, including allowing breeding animals to roam, in connection with an October incident, the details of which could not be verified on Friday.
Miss Hollis is to appear in Lisbon Town Court to answer the new charges.

I've been having a lot of fun over the last few months with FreeBSD on BeagleBone. Â Most recently, that's involved working on the CPSW ethernet driver.
One nasty bug has been eluding me for quite some time:Â The controller just stops sending packets after about 20 minutes.
Eventually, I will track down this problem. However, I've managed to make the driver quite usable even with such an unpleasant bug: I can leave SSH sessions open for days, download port tarballs, use NFS mounts, and generally do the things you expect a network to do.
The key was to find a really good watchdog strategy. Even with the controller locking up regularly, a good watchdog notices this and resets the driver within a few seconds, fast enough that network protocols simply retry and keep going after the reset. A less effective watchdog can leave the controller non-functioning for a minute or more, resulting in failed transfers and dropped connections.
Network Driver Basics
Three functions that appear in every network driver play a part in the watchdog process:
- The "start send" routine hands packets to the controller.
- The "transmit completion interrupt" is invoked by the controller when a packet has finished being sent; this routine recycles the memory and other resources for subsequent packets.
- The "watchdog ticker" wakes up once a second and decides whether or not to reset the controller.
I'll refer to these three functions as the "start", "interrupt", and "watchdog" functions to match how they are named in the source code of most drivers.
The Standard Watchdog
The standard logic that appears in many FreeBSD network drivers uses a single "timer" variable that is updated in each of the above functions:
- The start routine sets it to 5 whenever a new packet is added to the controller.
- The interrupt routine sets it to zero whenever it reclaims the last outstanding packet.
- The watchdog subtracts one and resets the controller when the counter changes from one to zero. (If the counter is already zero, it's left alone.)
Remember the goal here is to detect when the network is no longer running. Â That is, we want to know when the interrupt has stopped getting called. Â In fact, because the interrupt isn't getting invoked, we can entirely ignore that function for now.
To understand the standard logic, consider three different scenarios:
Scenario One: Â An almost idle network, with more than 5 seconds between packets. In this case, the start routine queues some packet and sets the timer to 5. The watchdog function counts this down every second until it hits zero, then resets the controller.
Scenario Two:  A very busy network. It can take only a few milliseconds for a busy machine to completely fill the transmit queue. In this environment, each new packet will cause the timer to get reset to 5.  The watchdog may tick and reduce the timer to 4, but a new packet will immediately reset it to 5. Once the transmit queue is full, however, new packets stop getting added and the start function stops resetting the timer. Again, the watchdog function counts down and resets the controller fairly promptly.
Scenario Three:  A lightly used network. Suppose "ping" is running and the transmitter stops. In this case, one packet is getting sent every second. If the transmit queue holds 100 packets, it will take 100 seconds before the transmit queue fills up.  During that time, the start routine and the watchdog routine alternately set the timer count to 5 and 4.
This last scenario is troublesome. In the first two scenarios, the watchdog function detects and resets the failed transmitter in about 5 seconds. Â But in the third scenario, the standard logic can leave the network broken for more than a minute, long enough for TCP sessions to time out and reset.
After a few days of not finding the cause for the transmitter stalls, I decided to spend a little time trying to improve the watchdog itself. I tried a variety of different approaches:  only a few handled all of these scenarios well.
A Better Watchdog
I spent almost a week experimenting with different watchdog logic before I formulated two key questions:
- Is there something to be done?  If there's no work to be done, then the watchdog should sit quietly.  For a network driver, this just requires checking whether there are packets in the queue waiting to be sent.
- Has progress been made? Â For network drivers, we have "progress" when any packet completes sending.
Translating these questions into code gives a watchdog function that looks something like this:
cpsw_tx_watchdog(struct cpsw_softc *sc) { if (sc->tx_in_queue == 0) { sc->tx_wd_timer = 0; /* Nothing to do. */ } else if (sc->tx_completed > sc->tx_completed_at_last_tick) { sc->tx_wd_timer = 0; /* More stuff got done. */ } else { /* Something should have been done! */ ++sc->tx_wd_timer; if (sc->tx_wd_timer > 3) { ... reset controller ... } } sc->tx_completed_at_last_tick = sc->tx_completed; }
Notice that the watchdog timer is no longer touched in either the start or interrupt routines. Â The start and interrupt routines only need to maintain two statistics: Â a count of how many packets have been taken off the queue by the interrupt routine (tx_completed), and a count of how many packets are still on the controller's queue (tx_in_queue).
There's another interesting feature of this new logic. The timer variable now has a comparatively simple interpretation: It is the number of seconds that have elapsed since we noticed work being missed. (As an exercise, try formulating a single sentence that accurately describes the timer variable in the standard logic.)
Most importantly, of course, this logic works well in all of the scenarios described above, including the lightly-used network scenario that causes problems for the standard logic.
Of course, all of the above will be considerably less interesting once I figure out how to keep the controller from stalling every 20 minutes…

How to Troubleshoot a Gameport Joystick
This article describes troubleshooting steps you can use if there is no response from your joystick, there is no Joystick tool in Control Panel, or Device Manager reports the following status:
The device is not present, not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed.
Code 10
If the Gameport Joystick is not detected by Microsoft Windows, or Device Manager reports that the device is not present, not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed, or there is no response from the joystick, follow these steps:
1. Start the computer without the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files as real-mode device drivers may conflict with the Windows 95/98 drivers and may disable the port.
To start the computer without the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files, follow these steps:
a. Use the appropriate method below for your version of Windows.
Microsoft Windows 95
Restart your computer. When you see the "Starting Windows 95" message, press the F8 key, and then choose Step-By-Step Confirmation from the Startup menu.
Microsoft Windows 98 and Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
Restart your computer, press and hold down the CTRL key after your computer completes the Power On Self Test (POST), and then choose Step-By-Step Confirmation from the Startup menu.
Microsoft Windows 2000
Restart your computer. When you see the "Starting Windows 2000" message, press the F8 key, and then choose Step-By-Step Confirmation from the Startup menu.
b. Press ENTER.
c. Press Y to confirm loading everything EXCEPT the following:
? Process your startup device file (Config.sys)
? Process your startup configuration file (Autoexec.bat)
d. Press N so that these two lines do not load.
2. Remove the Gameport Joystick from Device Manager and then add it. To do this:
a. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
b. Double-click System, and then click the Device Manager tab.
c. Double-click Sound, Video And Game Controllers.
d. Check for a Gameport Joystick. If one exists, click it, and then click Remove.
e. Click OK.
f. Click Close.
To add the Gameport Joystick, or if there is no Gameport Joystick entry, run the Add New Hardware tool in Control Panel. If the Gameport Joystick device is not detected automatically, you can add it manually.
To use the Add New Hardware Wizard detect the Gameport Joystick, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
b. Double-click Add New Hardware, and then follow the instructions on the screen.
If the joystick is not detected, manually add the Gameport Joystick driver. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
b. Double-click Add New Hardware.
c. Click No, and then click Next.
d. In the Hardware Types list, click Sound, Video And Game Controllers, and then click Next.
e. In the Manufacturers box, click Microsoft. In the Models box, click Gameport Joystick, and then click Next.
f. Click Next.
g. Click Finish.
h. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
3. Make sure the Gameport Joystick is working at the MS-DOS level.
To do this, attempt to use the joystick in an MS-DOS-based program. Refer to the program's documentation for information about how to configure the joystick.
4. Refer to the sound or game card's documentation to verify that the jumpers on the card are set correctly. The game port may be disabled if the jumpers are set incorrectly.
Game ports are often enabled or disabled by setting jumpers on the card. You may need to open the computer and verify the jumper settings on the card to make sure the game port is enabled. Consult the card's documentation for the correct settings.
If the sound or game card is software configurable, you may be able to enable or disable the game port by running the card's configuration utility. Consult the card's documentation for additional information.
5. Verify that only one game port or game card is enabled in the computer at one time.
You can verify the number of game ports that are installed in your computer by taking note of the number of 15-pin female connectors at the back of your computer.
There can be only one game port enabled in a computer at one time. Two or more game ports enabled in a computer conflict with each other because all game ports reside at the same I/O address (0201).
The only way you can eliminate such a conflict is to disable one of the game ports, typically by changing a jumper setting on one of the cards, or by removing the conflicting card from the computer. Refer to your hardware documentation or manufacturer for instructions.
Cards that typically have game ports are:
? Sound cards
? Multi-I/O cards
? Video cards
? Dedicated game cards
6. Verify that there are no devices inside the computer other than the game port that use an I/O address of 0201.
Any other card in the computer using this I/O address conflicts with the game port. To eliminate such a conflict, change the I/O address of the conflicting card. Cards that may conflict include:
? Modems
? Scanner controller cards
? CD-ROM controllers cards
For information about how to change a card's I/O address, please refer to the card's documentation or manufacturer.
To determine if there is a device inside the computer using an I/O address of 0201, view the resources used in the computer with Device Manager, and verify the settings of the hardware devices inside the computer.
To view the resources used in the computer with Device Manager, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
b. Double-click System, and then click the Device Manager tab.
c. Click Computer in the device list, and then click Properties.
d. Click Input/Output (I/O), and then scroll down to the 0201-0201 entry. Take note of the device using this I/O address.
If a device is using this setting, you must change the I/O address used by the device or remove the device from the computer.
To verify the settings of devices inside your computer, you must either open the computer and verify the jumper settings, or run the configuration utility for devices that are software configurable.
7. If Windows still does not detect the game port, or Device Manager displays an error status for the Gameport Joystick, there may be a problem with the hardware itself. You may need to contact the manufacturer of the card for assistance.

FORBES — Islanders 27th Most Valuable NHL Team
Via Forbes (sic):
27. New York Islanders
Team value: $155 million
Owner: Charles Wang
Revenue 2011-12: $66 million
Operating income 2011-12: -$16 million
The value of the Islanders increased 4% over last year due to the team moving from the antiquated Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum to the new Barclcays Arena for the 2015 season.
4% seems like a smallish figure (Edit: on second thought, that's pretty decent for the average business in a given year), but once the Islanders actually move into the Barclays it will be interesting to see how these valuations change (especially the operating income). I imagine the Islanders should be easily turning a profit, but since we don't know the specifics of the agreement with the Barclays Center, it's tough to say for sure what that number would be. But keep in mind that somewhat amazingly, after nearly a decade of trying to develop on his own, Charles Wang gave up his grand dreams of development to become a tenant in Brooklyn. We don't know what the deal is; but be assured that he either got a nice slice of the pie or a sweetheart rental deal for him to move into someone else's house.

Video: Obama asks for Syria vote delay to pursue diplomacy
Video: President Obama: Non-military solution possible in Syria
Video: Peace protesters react to president's speech on Syria
WASHINGTON (USA Today) - President Obama told the nation Tuesday he is exploring a Russian diplomatic plan to end a chemical weapons dispute in Syria, but reserves the right to take military action if necessary.
During his nationally televised speech from the White House, Obama also said:
-- He wanted to talk to the country about why Syria "matters" and "where we go from here;"
-- He resisted military action in Syria for months until that nation used chemical weapons against anti-government rebels on Aug. 21, killing numerous children;
-- Argued that use of these banned weapons increase the possibility of other chemical attacks in other parts of the world, perhaps even the United States;
-- A lack of action would erode prohibitions on other weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons;
-- He understands Americans are tired of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but said any action in Syria would be limited and targeted on its chemical weapons programs.
-- Syria does not have the ability to retaliate against the United States.
-- He is encouraged by Russia's proposal to have Syria give up its chemical weapons, but reserves the right to act if the diplomatic effort fails.
-- He understands military is unpopular, but may be warranted in the case.
-- Americans should review videos of the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack now posted on the White House website, particularly the pictures of dead and dying children.
Obama's speech capped a flurry of diplomatic activity, as American, British, and French officials spoke with Russian counterparts about their idea to have Syria turn over their chemical weapons to international control for dismantling.
So far, they are at odds on the details.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would only support a Syrian turnover if the Obama administration renounced the possible of use of force against Bashar Assad's government.
Obama declined to do that. In meetings with U.S. senators on Tuesday, and during his prime time speech, Obama said it's the potential for force that pressured Syria into negotiations about releasing its chemical weapons stockpile.
Officials said Secretary of State John Kerry would fly to Geneva, Switzerland, for a Thursday negotiation session with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Syria announced Tuesday it would accept Russia's offer, and said it is willing to join a global ban on chemical weapons.
Members of Congress, divided over a resolution authorizing military action against Syria, began exploring alternatives in light of the new diplomatic moves. The force resolution faces uphill battles in both the Democratic-controlled Senate and the Republican-run House.
Earlier on Tuesday, Obama attended separate meetings with Senate Democrats and Republicans in which he previewed his speech.
A bipartisan group of senators -- some of whom support intervention -- are working on an alternative that would require Syria to allow a United Nations team to remove chemical weapons within a certain time period, perhaps 45 to 60 days. If Syria doesn't comply, Obama would have the authority to launch military strikes.
Obama also spoke amid rising opposition in the public and in Congress to idea of a military strike against Syria.

Let me get this straight, you have WIRED connection between your computers and your laptop have wireless to the WAN (internet)?
IF so, can you first able to ping your wired port of your laptop from XP? If it's okay, then all you need is to turn on NAT features on Linux box. The easiest way to do this to install firewall Firestarter and let it take care of it.
Two advantages of using programs like Firestarter,
1. You get a secure firewall
2. It's GUI based so it takes care of a lot of typing and command line confusions.

More than 300 local residents per year complete adult education programs sponsored by Carbon School District.
Earning a general education development (GED) or a high school diploma is easier than people may think.
Utah and Carbon County have several programs dedicated to adult education for people 17 years of age or older.
Adult education programs are funded through federal grants.
Congress uses a formula that decides how much money each state receives for adult education programs.
When money is received, the state distributes the funds to local programs that provide adult education and literacy services.
Programs that may be accessed by local residents include the electronic high school, GED on television (PBS), Carbon County Adult Education Coalition, College of Eastern Utah, department of workforce services, ABC Learning Center and New Heights Clubhouse.
The electronic high school is a good resource for Internet classes that will count as credits toward a high school diploma.
Anyone may register for the electronic classes.
The courses are convenient for working people and high school students who need extra credits to graduate.
Carbon School District adult education allows participants several ways to earn credits for receiving a high school diploma. Internet classes, work experience, military experience and the GED exam may be used for credits to receive a high school diploma.
If completed and passed, a GED exam can earn the test taker five high school credits. There are sites on the Internet to find practice tests and free resources to help prepare for taking GED tests.
The Lighthouse also has practice guides and tests available for people interested in taking a GED exam.
Previously earned credits can also be used for a diploma no matter how long ago the program participant attended high school.
A credit evaluation may be given along with GED tutoring from the adult education program located at the Lighthouse in Price.
Only 24 credits are necessary for graduation from the adult education program.
The Internet also has many choices for earning a high school diploma, but before attempting to use an Internet diploma program, research on the program needs to be done before trying to obtain a high school diploma through it. Some schools located on the Internet may be scams or are not properly accredited to award diplomas.
Workplace education programs are also a way of learning basic skills. These programs focus on the literacy and skill training that employees will need to gain employment, retain present jobs, increase productivity, or advance in their careers.
Educators for workplace education programs develop the curriculum by working with employers and groups of employees to determine what reading, computation, speaking and reasoning skills are required to perform their job effectively. Strong partnerships between educators, employees and employers are required for a workplace education program to be successful.

CANTON A portion of the former Jones & Laughlin Steel Co. site may be on a fast track to reuse under a pending agreement between St. Lawrence County and state agencies.
Legislators unanimously approved an arrangement with the state Monday that will give the county a release of liability for contamination at the 54-acre parcel, paving the way for a subdivision of the property and future development of the minimally contaminated portion.
I keep saying were moving forward, said Fine Town Supervisor Mark C. Hall, a member of the county Industrial Development Agency. This would be a leap forward if this works.
Details of the settlement and consent order were not revealed and legislators took their vote in executive session.
Legislators still must approve the deal at a full board meeting, and the state Department of Environmental Conservation and other agencies have a final sign-off.
Until its final, its extremely sensitive. Theres never been this type of settlement, said Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, chairman of the Finance Committee. It means were working toward an agreement.
Earlier this year, DEC issued a record of decision on 18 acres of the J&L property that showed it had minimal contamination. The remainder of the property may become a Superfund site, but a cleanup of the 18 acres is not needed. The record of decision includes certain restrictions, including development for commercial or industrial use only, periodic certification of institutional and engineering requirements and a site management plan.
The 18 acres is made up of three parcels in the town of Clifton. A 5.8-acre plot consists of a former parking lot and vehicle wash station near Route 3 and County Route 60. A second parcel across Route 3 of 6.34 acres is woods and a tailing pile from previous mining operations. A mine construction camp was also in the area in the 1940s. The last nearby parcel of 5.86 acres consists of an active electrical substation, overhead power lines, a concrete road and a pond.
The administrative settlement in the works would allow the county to foreclose and take title to the entire property to further its remediation and return it to a useful purpose without worrying about whether the state will hold the county responsible for cleanup costs because it is in the chain of ownership.
The county previously took title to the property so it could transfer it to its last known owner, a Canadian developer now deceased, making legislators particularly interested in the release of liability.
Officials have argued that J&L is a unique property deserving of environmental action as it has long been a blight and is one of only a few properties zoned industrial in the Adirondack Park.

Hi Everyone,
My name is Cindy. I am 34 years old and recently started rescuing bully breeds. My first foster, a very scared pit mix, melted my heart and has made my home her permanent home. She is a approximately a year and half old. We are unsure of her story other than we know when we received her, she was scared of humans and dogs and couldn't walk because her nails had grown into her pads. It took me a while to gain her trust and teach her how to be a happy dog! She is now loving life and loves playing in her backyard.
Daisy and I are currently enrolled in agility training to build up her confidence before we move on to obedience and Rally. My goal for Daisy is to get cgc certified and help her be a voice for the breed.
Daisy is not an only child. I have another rescue mix, Tyson, that is 3 years old. He maybe part pit, he may not be. I was lucky enough to rescue him as a puppy. Tyson and I do agility, Rally and Obedience competition.
I am looking forward to sharing knowledge and learning more about laws and how to be an advocate and voice for this beautiful breed.

|McAdoo Leads Heels To 76-59 Win
|Written by Staff Reports
|Saturday, 10 November 2012 11:09
James Michael McAdoo set career highs with 26 points and 14 rebounds to help No. 11 North Carolina beat Gardner-Webb 76-59 on Friday night. McAdoo shot 10 of 20 from the field in the first game of the season for both teams. Dexter
Strickland dded 13 points for the Tar Heels (1-0), who improved to 91-12 in openers. We did try to do a lot of things with a lot of different lineups," said UNC coach Roy Williams. "Four freshmen, first time they were in there, so I think it was good for them. Gardner-Webb had an experienced team, and they made us look bad at times. I am disappointed in how we played, but I'm not disappointed in my team."

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Republican State Senator Mark Grisanti has a new, big-name challenger who most observers never saw coming.
That challenger is former Erie County Legislator Chuck Swanick, who has been out of politics for several years.
When it came to winning elections, Swanick was a political powerhouse in the North Towns, serving Kenmore, Tonawanda, and Grand Island in the county legislature for more than two decades.
He walked away amid some controversy more than six years ago. But now, Swanick is back, and his candidacy is sending shock waves through the world of state and local politics.
"Just when you think you're a master of it, something comes out of left field and changes the whole playing field," Republican Strategist and former Deputy Erie County Executive Carl Calabrese said.
When asked about Swanick's candidacy, one state lawmaker told us, "Wow!"
Swanick, now a registered Democrat, plans to challenge Grisanti, a Republican.
Additionally, Swanick just received the coveted Conservative Party endorsement over Grisanti, largely because of Grisanti's support for same-sex marriage.
Swanick, by no means, is a shoe-in to be the Democratic party's nominee. He'll likely have to run in a tough primary.
If Swanick wins, Republicans could lose control of the State Senate.
The question, however, is can he win?
Swanick was front and center in the county's 2005 budget crisis, coming under fire, in particular, for a sequence our cameras captured in December of 2004.
During a county legislature meeting, Swanick huddled with then-Legislature Chairman Butch Holt. Swanick then made a motion to insert what critics called a three-million-dollar, "no-bid" contract into the county budget right before the midnight deadline.
When a fellow legislator asked Swanick what is was, Swanick responded, "It's... it's nothing."
In the months after the December vote, Swanick was under the heat of the media spotlight and did not seem too fond of reporters.
In the spring of 2005, Swanick walked away from then-Channel 2 Reporter Lynne Dixon as she followed him to his office. Swanick went inside and closed the door on her.
By the fall of 2005, Swanick had decided not to seek re-election.
Of course, that was how his political career ended. For 20-plus years before the budget crisis, Swanick was a powerful and popular political force. At least privately, Republicans are worried about his candidacy.
REPORTER: Can he still get elected despite all of that controversy when he was leaving?
CALABRESE: That's a great question and people remember -- how people remember and answer that question will determine whether or not he can be successful. . . Will they remember the first 24 years or the last year? It could very well turn out to be the premier race in New York State.
We left several message with Swanick Friday, but did not hear back. We also made several attempts to talk to Senator Grisanti, but he didn't want to speak. We even showed up an event his office promoted, but we didn't see him there.

Comments about Atlas Sound Low Profile Mic Stand:
I bought this stand after trying some other stands for miking a kick drum in conjunction with a short boom arm. The other stands weren't heavy enough to keep the stand from tipping over, so this one was just what I needed. It's pretty much a really short mic stand with a standard round base, so it's plenty heavy to keep itself anchored down, even with a heavy mic. The only downside is that depending on where the hole is cut in the kick drum head, it may be just a bit too tall.
It's a standard mic stand--only shorter.
Quality has been outstanding.
Seems a little pricey, but I think it's worth it

Girls' Scholarship Project
The Girls' Scholarship project helps to decrease the gap between the levels of education achieved by men and women in the Kigoma community of western Tanzania. Thus far, the program has sponsored 249 girls to attend elementary school, high school and university.
Key Activities:
JGI launched the Girls' Scholarship project in 1998. The sponsored girls are members of Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots program, JGI's environmental and humanitarian program for youth, within their schools. As a result of the girls' scholarship project, the girls' parents and guardians actively participate in JGI's conservation and development programs. In addition to increasing women's education levels, the scholarship program trains recipients' families in sustainable farming techniques, as well as forest regeneration and preservation.
In many African communities, families are much more likely to spend the resources to send boys and men, rather than girls and women to school. In large part, women in rural Tanzania are expected to marry and start families when they come of age. For a family struggling to make ends meet, spending money on their daughters' school uniforms and supplies may not be a top priority. As a result, women's literacy rates are significantly lower than that of men's.
Not only does a higher level of education increase earning potential, but it often increases a woman's likelihood of spacing her births, which means women are better able to provide for their families with health care, education and other basics. In addition, families who are able to meet basic needs are also in a better position to care for the environment.
Supporters of this project include Wanda Bobowski and other major donors of the Jane Goodall Institute.

THE SATANO-SUPERNATURAL BLASTERPIECE THAT SPAWNED THE EVIL DEAD SERIES!! God may have more money, but Satan knows how to party. The shamefully underseen EQUINOX proves that forcefields, towering neon-blue behemoths, transdimensional castles, misshapen cavemen, tendriled beasts and sinister forest rangers are Lucifer's sharpest tools in his 24-7 war against mankind. Four picnicking students stumble across a malevolent occult tome that tears a rift into the demon world, unleashing impossible creatures as our hapless protagonists bumble towards a vicious confrontation with the Prince of Darkness himself! This rampagingly innovative feature was clearly the inspiration for EVIL DEAD and - as far as I'm concerned - CITIZEN KANE and every movie ever made, before it or since. No other low-budget horror movie has even attempted the brazen onslaught of hell-fueled nightmare fantasies that you'll see here, much of which is stop motion wizardry provided by the future Oscar-winning effects artist of STAR WARS. If he'd instead stuck with movies this good, maybe he could sleep at night. (Zack)

Microsoft debuts the first major hybrid computer built for Windows 10.
You can dive into the various subcategories here for detailed suggestions for every need and budget, but on this page, we present the current laptops that are our personal favorites, because of style, power, value, or just because we like them.
A step up from the Surface, the Surface Book looks and behaves like a laptop but can convert into a tablet.
The Corian Charging Surface lets home remodelers build wireless power right into kitchen and bathroom counters.
Pricing not available
The budget-priced Surface 3 is a solid tablet that finally runs the real version of Windows, but it would be a much better value if the must-have keyboard cover was included.
The 84-inch 4K touchscreen display boasts a full set of productivity-geared features.
Pricing not available
While the new Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's best PC to date, it's more successful as a tablet than a laptop replacement.
If you're an early adopter willing to forget everything you know about navigating a computer, the Surface tablet could replace your laptop. Everyone else: wait for more apps.
Microsoft's subtly updated Windows 8.1 tablet feels more like Surface Pro 1.5 -- improved battery life and better accessories make it a worthwhile (albeit pricey) laptop replacement, but it's still not an iPad-level category killer.
The Microsoft Surface 2 is great for getting work done, but those looking for extensive app support (beyond Office) will find top Apple, Android, and Amazon tablets to be better options.
The Surface Pro's gutsy design successfully reinvents the Windows 8 laptop by cramming an ultrabook experience into the body of a 10-inch tablet. Those wanting to go all-in on the tablet experience won't regret buying the Surface Pro, but we're holding out for a future, more polished generation of the device.

Read: The Differences On The CBA Term/Digging In/Variance (Updates)
7:15PM: Dandenault adds "I still believe their will be season…just very tough negociation…"
6:50PM: Mathieu Dandenault sent out a tweet saying "The nhl and nhlpa talks r dead for now…look for the players to disclaim."
Larry Brooks tweets "Belief within PA that Bettman/Batterman pulled bait and switch after initial disclaimer deadline passed."
5:59PM:Elliotte Friedman and Pierre LeBrun both says that the NHL and NHLPA are willing to sign ten-year CBA agreements but the players want an opt-out after seven years and the owners want an opt-out after eight years.
Friedman adds that the NHL want the CBA to expire on June 30th but the NHLPA wants to keep the date at September 15th.
Friedman says that main reason for that is so "the NHL's owners won't be able to spend $199 million right before the CBA ends."
Darren Dreger says that some members of the NHLPA are worried that the NHL is digging in and not willing to budge anymore not that the disclaimer of interest deadline has passed.
Eric Macramalla tweets "I warned here yesterday that once disclaimer deadline passed NHL might revert back to less favourable terms – may be happening. So second disclaimer vote may be necessary"
Friedman adds "On variance, NHL has proposed 60 per cent limit. Therefore, lowest salary of any multi-year deal must be within that amount of the highest."
LeBrun says that the big issues continue to be pensions, length of player contracts and the salary cap for the second season of the CBA.
