CANTON The percentage of students in grades three through eight at Canton Central who passed state assessments exceeded the states passing average on eight of the 12 exams given last school year.
Superintendent William A. Gregory said Canton ranked high when compared with the 17 other school districts in the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services region.
On the English language arts exams, Canton and Potsdam tied for first place in the BOCES region, while Canton came in first on the overall math results.
That is a significant accomplishment, Mr. Gregory said.
Im truly impressed with these results. You should be proud, said Shannon D. Mattice, a school board member.
Last years tests were more difficult than in previous years because they incorporated the new national Common Core standards. Passing rates across the state were expected to be lower and they were.
It was a very challenging set of assessments, Mr. Gregory said.
On the English language arts exam, Canton students in grades five, six, seven and eight all scored higher than the state averages for those grades.
Children in grades three and four scored slightly lower.
On the math assessments, the percentage of students passing in grades three, five, seven and eight exceeded the statewide averages. Passing scores in grades four and six were lower than the state passing rates.
Canton also ranked first overall in the BOCES region on Regents exam results for the 2011-12 school year, the most recent year available. The district exceeded the state passing rates on trigonometry, living environment, Earth science, chemistry, U.S. history, English, global studies and geometry. The district tied the states passing rate for physics.
In other results, a high percentage of Canton high school students scored a 3, 4 or 5 on advanced placement exams taken last school year and 17 Canton students qualified as AP scholars for having achieved a score of 3 or better on at least three AP exams.
Were pretty proud of the number of AP scholars weve had over the years, Mr. Gregory said.
The districts graduation rate for the class of 2013 was 81 percent, which increased to 84 percent when summer graduates were included. The state standard is 80 percent.
Were on track as far as our outcomes, Mr. Gregory said.
Last year, 92 percent of the senior class earned Regents or Advanced Regents diplomas.
The majority of last years graduates, 85 percent, are pursuing higher education. An additional 10 percent planned to seek employment while 4 percent joined the military and 1 percent had other plans.
The districts Report Card results are posted on the meeting documents section of the schools website: www.ccsdk12.org.

$305 million purchase of Wolf Hollow plant demonstrates Exelon's continued commitment to competitive markets
Chicago – Exelon Corporation today announced an agreement to acquire Wolf Hollow, a combined-cycle natural gas-fired power plant in north Texas, from Sequent Wolf Hollow, LLC, for $305 million, as adjusted for working capital. The transaction adds 720 megawatts (MW) of clean energy to Exelon's fleet in the competitive Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) power market, where the company already owns and operates three other natural gas-fired power plants.
"This acquisition will increase our clean energy portfolio, expand Exelon's presence in the competitive Texas energy market, and create value for Exelon shareholders," said John W. Rowe, Exelon chairman and CEO. "Forthcoming EPA clean air rules will make Exelon's natural gas-fired power plants even more valuable and increase our role in the nation's transition to a clean energy future."
Wolf Hollow, located near Granbury, Texas, began operation in August 2003. It is equipped with two Mitsubishi combined-cycle gas turbines and serves the Dallas and Fort Worth areas. Exelon currently has a power purchase agreement with Wolf Hollow, through 2023, to purchase 350 MW of its output at above current observable market power prices.
In addition to eliminating the existing power purchase agreement, Exelon expects the transaction will be accretive to free cash flow beginning in 2012. The transaction also creates long-term value for Exelon by adding an efficient combined-cycle natural gas-fired plant to Exelon's fleet in ERCOT.
Exelon Generation, which will own and operate the plant, already has a strong and growing presence in the Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston regions. Exelon Generation's natural gas-fired plants at Handley, Mountain Creek and ExTex LaPorte have a total capacity of 2,222 MW and employ 80 people. Exelon contributes $1.9 million per year in state tax payments to Texas.
The proposed acquisition of Wolf Hollow follows Exelon's announcement last month that it plans to merge with Constellation Energy, which will create one of the industry's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The acquisition of Wolf Hollow will reinforce one of the key benefits of the merger--matching Exelon's abundant clean energy supply with Constellation's large customer demand in key competitive markets.
The Wolf Hollow transaction will build on the company's commitment to clean energy as part of Exelon 2020, a business and environmental strategy to eliminate the equivalent of Exelon's 2001 carbon footprint. Exelon already is the least carbon-intensive of the large U.S. electric utilities.
The Wolf Hollow transaction is subject to approval by the Public Utility Commission of Texas and the notification and reporting requirements under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. Exelon plans to finance the transaction with existing cash flow and liquidity resources and expects to close it in the third quarter of 2011. Barclays Capital acted as financial advisor to Exelon.

Denim Depot will offer low-priced denim products, including jeans, jackets and handbags.
Store owner Tom Quinton poses as the front desk.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The new BJ's Wholesale is set to be fully constructed by the end of the September and the store will open shortly after.
According Robert MacPherson, founder of Cape Breton Corp., the company that is building the store, construction and utilities are on pace to be completed and the store can be turned over to BJ's management for an October opening.
"The BJ's is looking, hopefully, to open in the middle or end of September," MacPherson said Tuesday. "Certainly before the first of October is our hope."
The construction, located on Hubbard Avenue behind Price Chopper, is expecting to bring 120 new jobs to the city. The club's website is advertising an array of jobs from an assistant manager to meat cutters to department supervisors.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Excelsior Printing Co. will bring its newly acquired business to the city.
The Roberts Drive printing company announced Tuesday that it purchased Oatmeal Studios of Rochester, Vt., and will bring the inventory and warehousing to the city, which could translate into local jobs.
"The founders wanted to retire. We were in negotiations for about a month and finalized the deal last week," Julianne Fruscio, Excelsior's business development and marketing coordinator, said on Tuesday.
Excelsior has been printing Oatmeal Studios' greeting cards for more than 20 years. Oatmeal's sales team will be offered positions first and unfilled jobs could be filled locally. Additionally, Excelsior hired Joseph Gallagher to be the general manager to develop even more products and expand into other markets.
"We're really hoping to develop the brand Oatmeal more," Fruscio said. "It's a new direction for us because we are now specializing in greeting cards."
Though Excelsior has the ability to do its own design work, it will continue using Oatmeal's database of freelancers to design the cards. Oatmeal also accepts submissions on a daily basis, Fruscio said.
Oatmeal Studios was founded by Helene and Joe Massimino and has been creating and distributing greeting cards and notepads for more than 30 years. The greeting cards are printed with vegetable-based inks on recycled paper.
"We think it's a great fit," said Joe Massimino in a press release. "Excelsior has been a part of Oatmeal Studios almost from the beginning and they have a stationery pedigree of their own that will serve Oatmeal Studios' customers well into the future."
In 2005, Excelsior separated from Crane & Co. and, in 2008, made a similar acquisition of SeedPrint. Excelsior now prints and ships seed packages while doing minimal design work.
Crane purchased the Excelsior companies — Excelsior Printing and Excelsior Process & Engraving — in 1970. Crane moved Excelsior Process & Engraving to the Robert Hardman Industrial Park in 1985 and then announced that it will close the Curran Highway location last year.
Excelsior Printing Co. on Roberts Drive was purchased by David W. Crane in 2005.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — More than a year after announcing the construction of a BJ's Wholesale Club on Hubbard Avenue, the Braintree developer secured a $9.2 million construction loan for the project this weekend.
Reported on Monday by Waltham-based Bostonsf.com, Cape Breton Corporation and Saxon Partners worked with real estate intermediary Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. to get the loan through Sovereign Santander Bank.
The developers plan to build a 85,188-square-foot freestanding building and fueling station behind Berkshire Crossings.
The project was announced in October of 2009 when Robert MacPherson, president of Cape Breton, said the group will begin the formal permitting process aiming to break ground in 2010. It will be the county's first BJ's club and City Hall said it would create about 120 new jobs. The closest BJ's clubs to Berkshire County are in Greenfield, Springfield and Albany, N.Y.
BJ's Wholesale Club Inc. is a leading operator of membership warehouse clubs in the East. The company, now in its 25th year, currently employees more than 20,000 team members and operates 180 clubs in 15 states from Maine to Florida.
Formed in 1998, Saxon Partners is a retail and residential developer focused on the New England region and Cape Breton Corporation is a real estate development company specializing in the site acquisition and local permitting of retail buildings and shopping centers.

8 War Movie Mistakes
Every year it's the same: You plan to make an elaborate Halloween costume but procrastinate. Now you're a few hours away from a big party with nothing to wear, and you've never been one to settle for a generic store-bought costume.
Help is on the way: This year we teamed up with Blake Ramsey, a New York-based craft stylist who has worked her holiday magic for scores of national magazines. We took her shopping to one of our favorite places—Home Depot—and commissioned her to design three simple but original masks you can put together tonight from pieces available in the store. None should take more than 30 minutes to complete. Save more time by ordering the supplies online now and picking them up on your way home from work. And if you're lucky, you may have some of these supplies lying around in a dark corner of your basement.

Abdominal Pain in Adults
Abdominal Pain in Adults Overview
Abdominal pain can range in intensity from a mild stomach ache to severe acute pain. The pain is often nonspecific and can be caused by a variety of conditions. Many organs are found within the abdominal cavity. Sometimes the pain is directly related to a specific organ such as the bladder or ovary, while other times it is more diffuse or non-specific.. Usually, abdominal pain originates in the digestive system. For example, the pain can be caused by appendicitis, diarrheal cramping, or food poisoning.
The type and location of pain may help the physician find the cause. The intensity and duration of pain must also be considered when making a diagnosis. A few general characteristics of abdominal pain are as follows:
Abdominal pain can make a person want to stay in one place and not move a muscle. Or the pain can make them so restless they want to pace around trying to find "just the right position."
The health care professional will try to pinpoint the area of the abdomen where the pain originates when determining the cause of abdominal pain. This is done by combining questions such as - "When you first had the pain, where did you feel it?" - with an examination of the abdomen. Softly pressing on certain areas to elicit the pain and perhaps palpating other areas to examine the size and exact location of an organ are other parts of the physical examination.
When this is combined with general questions about the pain such as "Is the pain dull or sharp?" "How long have you had the pain?" and questions about your state of health - "Did you have to vomit?" - the health care professional can narrow down the possible causes of the pain.
Once the questions and physical exam are completed, the health care professional will either give the patient a diagnosis and advise on follow-up recommendations or order blood tests, and possibly X-rays and imaging studies to further help identify why the patient is in pain.

are these javascript editors or just about any text?
Yes they can also be used for javascript. You can also use them as a notepad replacement for any text as well. However these editors work well with Java Source files which are not scripts but actual programming code.are these javascript editors or just about any text?
Ok java, not javascript.
personally i prefer textpad because its very easy to use, and the compiler is very good about telling you about your errors. I've also used eclipse and it's ok, very difficult to get used to, but once you do it's fairly decent. And yes i know a thing or two about Java programming.
ive tried eclipse again and again but i just use textpad now i give up on eclipse
Life Is Good, Bert is evil!!!!
What happens what you use eclipse?

|Shannon Draper assists Monica Safreed at the counter in the Price post office. Safreed and other post office patrons encountered a busier mailing facility than usual because of all the local residents who waited until the April 15 deadline to submit the income tax returns to the state and Internal Revenue Service. The latest data complied by the United States Census Bureau ranks Utah's 2000 tax burden as a percent of personal income as the ninth highest in the nation. When fees are factored into the equation, Utah's total burden ranked 10th in the United States.
Child abuse is a problem facing every community in the nation. No city or town is immune to family abuse.
In Carbon County, the Family Support and Children's Justice Center recognizes the problem and takes every step possible to assist families affected by these situations.
The local facility is not designed as an escape outlet for abused children however, the center will assist families and ensure that they get the proper support they need to recover and overcome these types of problems.
Families who do experience an abusive episode may contact the center and receive proper assistance.
The justice center serves as a family advocate for those in troubled situations and will make sure that no one is turned away without some type of help.
The center mainly focuses on preventing abuse from happening. Justice center director Terri Willis describes the public facility as a homelike environment which is a place to find help during times of crisis and services to prevent other crisis situations from happening.
"The one thing that we worry about is that the community thinks this is a place which only troubled and low income families can come to. We are not a day care and we do not turn anyone away. It is not a program that looks at financial status. Rather, we look at each person's needs and provide the proper assistance for each situation," explained the director.
As a community support center, the local facility works with various community agencies including the courts and law enforcement agencies.
"We have rooms here that allow families to sit down and discuss problems. The rooms are equipped with audio devices so that interviews may also be conducted by law enforcement officers.
The area is designed to be a child friendly space which will allow children to feel like themselves and they will not make them feel like they are in some kind of trouble," Willis explained.
The building which houses the justice center is designed like a home. Everything from bedrooms to a kitchen and a wash room are housed in the building. This allows families to feel at home while they are receiving assistance.
In some situations, families are even invited to use the facility overnight. Again, each situation is different and proper actions are made to reflect these circumstances.
A crisis nursery is located at the facility. It is designed to provide a safe, homelike setting where parents can bring their children when the family is in a stressful situation.
Children ages 0 to 11 years can stay at the nursery and they can be brought in by parents or legal guardians and may stay for periods up to 72 hours.
The nursery is intended to be a means of preventing abuse. It is not a drop off daycare program.
Parents can drop their children off for the following reasons and take advantage of the crisis nursery.
Family crisis.
Court appearances.
Doctor appointments.
Medical emergencies.
Mental health appointments.
Escaping family violence.
Attending parent classes or divorce classes.
AA meetings or narcotic anonymous gatherings.
The center also provides Carbon County residents with information regarding assistance from community services and crisis intervention.
"The main thing that we focus on is preventing abuse from happening. We are available for residents to call and receive information about how to overcome minor crises," stated the support center director.
"If we can't help directly, we will refer residents to someone who can help," added Willis.
The strong emphasis of preventing abuse is something which every parent or guardian in Carbon County should be aware of.
Minor situations arise which can easily escalate into an abusive situation.
In order to prevent child abuse from occurring, the center provides the following tips to local residents.
Positive discipline teaches children responsibility and effective discipline increases a children's self-esteem.
Fear, guilt, humiliation and anger are ineffective punishments.
It's impossible for an adult to make sensible discipline choices if they are not thinking irrationally. Step back from the situation until calm.
Use love and patience with infants. Children this young do not understand discipline of any kind.
Shaking an infant is dangerous. Never, never shake an infant.
Hitting and spanking create fear rather than respect and teach children to use violence.
Set clear and reasonable limits for each child. Also allow the child to have a say in setting behavior limits.
Listen to what the child thinks about rules.
Deny privileges such as watching television or eating sweets for inappropriate behavior. Never deny meals or other basic needs.
For following discipline, forgive the child with a hug and discuss what happened.
Keep the good things the child does in mind.
Balance discipline with fun, loving times with the child and praise children for behaving correctly.
Providing love and approval for a child will decrease required discipline.
Carbon County citizens who need more information about preventing abuse or who need help to overcome the cycle of abuse, may contact the justice center at 637-0281. Information and care is available to all residents.

Audible: Nike Zoom Revis 1 'Jets' detailed in HD promo spot
Angel Navedo , TheJetsBlog.com
There's that hackneyed expression about walking a mile in another man's shoes that people love throwing around. But if that man is in the process of rehabilitating a torn ACL and returning to form as the NFL's best cornerback, wouldn't you consider it?
Boom, the Nike Zoom Revis 1, a sneaker I've discussed here at TJB, is days away from its Dec. 1 release date. As the swaggy blogger and resident sneaker enthusiast on TheJetsBlog.com, it is my duty to share these images and reiterate the sneakers' significance — probably not for all Jets fans, but for the few who care about uniforms, equipment, and the sneaker culture.
Darrelle Revis is stepping into elite space with this release. He joins players like Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders, iconic athletes whose signature sneakers — Nike's SC Trainer and Diamond Turf series, respectively — remain staples in contemporary style up to two decades after they debuted. Now, the ZR1 gets its chance to reintroduce training shoes from Nike Football into popular culture. That's gotta count for something in this dismal season.
Revis will be at the new Nike Yardline at Champs Sports in the Willowbrook Mall on Saturday to launch his ZR1. The sneakers will run you $130 and will be available in two colors: the Jets-themed pair pictured here and another black/volt colorway.
More pics after the jump…

Great pictures.
Dr.A.Jagadeesh Nellore(AP),India
Is that Vger over yonder?
Whats wrong with this Picture??? well for one thing who is holding the camera?? two, it was supposedly created by stitching togother other pixs.... very good, but what does that tell us about NASA? Can we really trust them to show us the truth about anything? space, aliens, UFO's
stargate travel, the end of the world, whatever, just makes me go Hmmmm,
In the first picture from the first surjouner spacecraft, you know the one that looked like a skateboard, when NASA released the first Pix, I down loaded it to my computer and zoomed it in to maximum so i could observe any minute details just above the pixellation piont, quite honestly i was looking for shells crustacions you know stuff like that, I must say i did not find any shells, However i did notice a peculiar, object in the lower lefthand segment of the picture, I quickly e-mailed the pix to my friends, titled ALIEN ARTIFACT DISCOVERD ON MARS, of course they were not science Buffs like me so they did not respond, anyway i have since discarded that computer. Recently however i have scanned all subsequent pix released by NASA which are exact replicas of the same camera shot, and no matter how much i search the magnified shot i cannot find the said object, it seemed to have magically dissappeared, Just something else that makes me go Hmmmmm!!
Wondrous pictures. Love the space shots.
@scifiman The rover is holding the camera on a robotic arm. It took several pictures of itself, and the NASA team stitched them together, leaving out the parts that showed the arm itself, so that you could get a better overall self portrait of the rover.
HMMMMM!!!! Lol.

CHAUMONT When it comes to catching bass, the Golden Crescent is the reel deal.
Anglers came from all over Northern New York to catch the biggest bass for charity during the third annual Biggest Bass Tournament on Sunday in Chaumont.
Its to raise money for the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired of Jefferson County, event coordinator Roy H. Dalton said. We get bigger every year.
This year, 25 anglers came out for the event, garnering more than $800 just through registration. Half of that was split for prize money.
Mr. Dalton is also a board member for the association. When he joined more than three years ago, he came up with the fundraiser to help buy visual aids for the visually impaired.
I run a bass club up here, he said. We just gave it a shot.
The only rules of the tournament were that the bass had to be caught in Lake Ontario and had to be alive at the weigh-in. Also, only one fish could be weighed in for the competition.
After hours of fishing the choppy lake waters under the late-summer sun, anglers lined up dozens of bass at the state boat launch.
Ronald C. Bergman, Phoenix, won first place with a 5.75-pound fish. In second place was his wife, Colleen D. Bergman, with a 4.85-pounder.
Weve been fishing our whole life, Mrs. Bergman said. I just caught a 6-pounder the other day.
She said persistence is the key to catching the biggest bass.
You also have to pick your days, because it can be rough on the lake, she said. It can get dangerous.
Mr. Bergman said the money goes to a good place as well.
We like to donate to the cause, he said.
The Bergmans have a similar event, the Nick Bergman Memorial Bass Tournament, that they started after their son died of Hodgkins lymphoma at age 15. The money from their event goes to the Golisano Childrens Hospital, Syracuse.
Several other competitors came from Phoenix as well. Allen H. Crutchley caught a 4.5-pound bass to enter in the contest. Before bringing his boat back to shore, he caught nearly 40 fish.
The Bergmans wanted us to come down so they could show us up, he said with a laugh. We had a lot of fun. Its a phenomenal fishery.
Mr. Dalton said he expects to see even more supporters at next years event.
We always have it the third Saturday of August every year, and anyone who is legally blind or visually impaired can enter the tournament for free, he said.

My mother-in-law gave me my first Hummel ornament 37 years ago. I think I have only missed one year. (The year they were unavailable.) The Hummels have their own tree and it is put up right after Thanksgiving. I really enjoy the art work and the story they tell.
Treasures Rewarded
By Grandma
from Nelson, MO
I have collected Hummel ornaments since 1982. Then about four years ago they disappeared and I could not find them anywhere. I was thrilled to find them here while looking for personalized brass ornaments for two new grandsons we were blessed with this past year. I am so pleased to resume my Hummel ornament collection....now if only Miles Kimball could find the ones from the years I missed!
I will buy this product again.

By: Christopher C. Duke, Ph.D.
If you have taken an introductory social psychology class, you have probably heard of stereotype threat. This is a phenomenon where making people aware of a stereotype that could refer to the self increases the chance that the stereotype will come true. For example, on math tests where the students' gender is made salient, women tend to perform worse than men. When the researchers emphasized to participants that gender scores on the test tended to be equal, their scores became equal. The same difference has been found on tests between black and white students; when the students' race was emphasized, black students' scores were lower than white students, but when equality was emphasized, the scores were the same.
While there are still competing explanations for why stereotype threat occurs, it is a very well documented phenomenon that can help to explain demographic achievement gaps. Fortunately, there are ways to counter the negative effects of stereotype threat and reduce demographic inequalities. One of the earliest ways discovered is to emphasize the expected positive outcomes on a task for under-achieving groups. While this does work, it is not always practical in real-world situations. An ideal solution would be a brief intervention with long-lasting effects that could work across many different situations. Smith and Postmes (2011) found that allowing small groups to discuss and challenge the validity of the stereotype can also reduce stereotype threat, though the duration of this promising positive effect was not fully known. This suggests groups can use discussion to reinterpret negative group stereotypes in a way that can empower the group and overcome negative effects.
A new study in Science advances our knowledge of the positive potential stereotype threat interventions (Walton & Cohen, 2011). The researchers theorized that stereotype threat occurs in part when people construe feelings of social adversity as an indictment of their social belonging. If social adversity can be portrayed by students themselves as universal to all students but temporary, then the negative effects of stereotype threat might be reduced. In the experiment, black and white first-year college students were subtly encouraged to generate such messages in the hopes that it would have long-lasting positive effects throughout their university career. This is indeed what happened, and the effects were powerful and long-lasting: compared to a control group, black students who received the intervention as freshmen achieved higher grades. Not only were their academic scores better, but they reported better health and they visited the doctor less, too. These effects were mediated by the students' subjective construal of adversity; this means that feelings of social belonging are likely to be a key part of the process in reducing stereotype threat. Interestingly, students did not attribute these positive effects to the brief intervention they experienced three years earlier. Considering the brevity of the intervention, and the durability of its effects, this appears to be a very powerful tool in reducing demographic achievement gaps. More research is needed to better understand the processes behind and effects of the intervention, but it speaks to the power of social expectations to cripple our accomplishments, and yet also of our power to take steps to consciously reshape the social landscape in a way that leads to real and lasting change for the better. People often lament that we talk too much about problems instead of taking action; in some cases, talking may be one of the best actions we can take.

text: How special it is to greet new and old friends at the opening of a fascinating exhibit of "Arman Photographs Friends" which inaugurates the new gallery space for the Alliance Francaise in New York. Frank and Harriet Stella, Alain Jacquet, Claire Wesselman, Bob Calle, all standing close to their portraits by Arman taken when we were all so very young! Arman was an inveterate photographer, a lover of every latest gadget, in particular of cameras. He just had to have the newest, most up-to-date toy on the market. He always carried a camera with him and would spontaneously point and shoot whenever and wherever struck his fancy. I am especially grateful for this particular hobby of his—which he began in the '60s-- because inadvertently he documented his life in America, France and his extensive travels throughout the world. Consequently, I knew just what to suggest when Marie-Monique Steckel, the director of the Alliance Francaise, called me to say that they were looking for an exhibition with which to inaugurate their new gallery space. "Why don't you feature an exhibition of Arman and his photographs?" I replied. In fact, he had had a show in 2004 at the Museum of Photography in Nice, France and Gabrielle Byers curated the show at the Alliance Francaise. It is a candid compendium of mostly fellow artists at play and at work whom Arman photographed with wit, affection and great fun. Since he had pre-selected the photos he wanted in the show in Nice, I am happy and confident that his wishes have prevailed with the new show. And the Alliance Francaise was a perfect showcase for these photos.

"Good people want to give and receive presents as much as criminals do and if given the opportunity they will give your presents to someone they love," says Belpre chief of police Ernest Clevenger.
A rash of crimes right before the holidays, criminals see dollar signs in their eyes.
"Thefts, especially in the way of shoplifting, retail thefts or thefts from vehicles. We see an increase in robberies, we see an increase in burglaries," says Sgt. Greg Collins of the Parkersburg Police Detective Bureau. So a lot of it is the bad guys know that it's an abundant time."
Use extra caution, holidays bring out the best and worst in people.
"I would recommend that residents in the area be cognizant when they're shopping of what they put in their car and where they put it, preferably in the trunk or out of sight of casual walkersby," Clevenger says.
Don't get lost in the deals, steals and crazy commotion, it makes you a mark.
"I think busy people become complacent and let their guard down regarding what's going on around them and they become an easier target this time of year," Collins says. "So it's important to keep your guard up and pay attention to what's going on around you."
Criminal minds see these joyous times as a way of life, but local police have other plans.
"Some criminals know that business is going to be good for them and it is a business for them," Collins says. "They conduct theirself in that manner, so it's something that we have to adjust our game to and we have to anticipate an increase in crime this time of year."

The tensions in the Middle East are far too complex for most Americans to comprehend. What is happening in Israel and Gaza today will be written in our next generation's history books. Who they blame will depend on where you're from.
It's beyond the question of whose right and wrong at this point. The Vendettas that have existed for 100′s or even 1000′s of years have permanent scars too deep to heal in our lifetime. All we can do is pray that one day everyone in the world will wake up tomorrow and realize that all this time, we were simply supposed to live a happy life while being good to one another and respecting our human race family as one.
Everyone's god is looking upon this planet today and wondering how their children have gotten so out of control. Sometimes we all need to learn to take a step back and focus on the reasons why we were put on this Earth to begin with. It certainly was not for war or to kill one another. To me there will always be one god for all 7 billion of us and it doesn't matter what religion you believe in.
History books about the Middle East are measured by the murders of their leaders and people. It all serves as a chess move towards an end game. Here is one of the latest chess moves (Hamas commander Ahmed Jabari killed on video) in central Gaza on Wednesday.
The strike marked the beginning of Operation Pillar of Defense to target Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror organizations in Gaza. At this point there does not seem to be an orderly government in Gaza but rather a region controlled by different gangs. As well multiple rockets hit Tel Aviv in the first attack on Israel's commercial capital in 20 years. Many innocent civilians and children were killed in the attacks and the feud between Israelis and Palestinians has reached the next level.
This article is not taking sides but simply observing what is about to happen. Israel said it will "do what it must" to defend the Jewish state and all sides seems to respond with only attacks of perpetual revenge.
Any sensible person would understand that this will ultimately lead to the extinction of one or all sides. The only way to live together in this world is to do so in peace. Children in most of the Middle East are taught or programmed to hate their enemy but who really is the enemy? What I know is that when masses are divided on beliefs there is a great possibility that both sides are wrong and right, much like the the argument of abortion. To some it's murder of a child and to others it's personal liberties taken away by it's government. Strong arguments on both sides but who is right?
I certainly do not agree with the act of terrorism or murder from any group but I feel obligated to ask why each side is so angry and can there be a compromise. If there is no compromise then maybe all sides are a menace to society. America will be drawn into this conflict soon as will China and Russia and the world we once lived in will be very different in the coming years as World War III takes shape. Whether we all survive is up to us.
God have mercy on our souls and give us the strength to learn how to live in harmony.
