Though retirement benefits were the main topic of discussion during U.S. Rep. William L. Owenss visit to an AARP-sponsored luncheon Wednesday in Watertown, the escalating civil war in Syria refused to be ignored.
On Monday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said President Barack Obamas administration was actively consulting with members of Congress about how to proceed in Syria, where American officials have accused the regime of Bashar Assad of using chemical weapons.
Asked by a lunch guest what advice he would offer the president, Mr. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, said he adamantly opposes putting American forces on the ground in Syria.
Instead, Mr. Owens said, he favors a strategy similar to the one the U.S. adopted in Libya more than two years ago, when dictator Moammar Gadhafi was ousted from power.
Mr. Owens said that by acting in concert with the United Nations, the U.S. was able to institute a no-fly zone and use targeted airstrikes to bring down Gaddafi forces.
He told reporters that a key concern of any U.S. policy would be to limit the Syrian governments ability to deploy chemical weapons.
In July, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff wrote that preventing the use of chemical weapons in Syria would require a no-fly zone, ground troops and hundreds of aircraft, ships, submarines and other enablers at a cost of more than $1 billion per month.
Before American foreign policy was introduced, Mr. Owens opened the discussion by highlighting the need for compromise in Washington.
No one of us has all the answers, he said.
However, there were two things Mr. Owens said he would not compromise on: changing the cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security recipients or increasing copayments, deductibles or age requirements for Medicare.
Mr. Owens prefaced his remarks by justifying his decision to vote for the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare.
People without health care often end up in the emergency room after ignoring their ailments for too long; they are charged more because emergency care is more expensive and they are sicker when they enter the hospital; and they can also bog down the system with routine procedures, preventing patients who need immediate attention from receiving it, Mr. Owens said.
When patients without health care cant afford to pay their medical bills, it results in more than $75 billion worth of uncompensated care costs that result in increased health insurance premiums and increased Medicare and Medicaid costs for those who are covered. Insuring more people and making health care more affordable through online exchanges will cut down on the amount of taxpayer money spent on Medicare, Mr, Owens said.
Mr. Owens also was asked about improving the economy of the north country, which he said could be done by encouraging more Canadian citizens to shop and conduct business here; and about the closing of the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center in Ogdensburg, which he said he opposes.
Picking up on the theme of compromise, Norman R. Oatman, Adams Center, who is a retiree but not an AARP member, asked Mr. Owens how members of Congress would feel about voting for a bill if they didnt know which party had sponsored it.
I think its a great idea, Mr. Owens said.
Its an idea Ive had all my life, Mr. Oatman said after the lunch. There are a lot of good ideas coming out and the other party blocking it because its too beneficial for the other party. Its not good for the people.
Karen R. Norton, AARP local advocacy chairwoman, said she felt the event went well and that guests left happy and upbeat.
She said she had hope that members of Congress could work through their differences during the coming legislative session.
Youve got to have hope, she said. If you dont have hope, youre not going to work for change, work for growth, work for betterment.
Mr. Owens will be at Hospice of Jefferson County from 1:30 to 2 p.m. Friday. He will meet with staff, a resident and the residents family.

Is anyone familiar with Cocchi's Aperitivo Americano?
Aperitivo Americano
Giulio Cocchi's original recipe Americano is more that just a simple aperitif in the town of Asti - in fact, it is the aperitif by definition, a piece of this century's local cultural and gastronomic history. This is the original Americano, produced without a break since 1891 according to an entirely natural recipe: white wine aromatized with many herbs and spices, no artificial colouring, flavouring or additive of any kind.
It has been staring at me from the shelf of the liquor store for a while now. Cocchi also makes an excellent red wine based "Barolo Chinato" digestiv, so I knew it would probably be good. Didn't know what I might do with it, though. However, when I read a description of it comparing it to Lillet, I began to wonder if it might be more like the original Lillet, pre-80s reformulation.
It does have very similar flavors to Lillet Blanc. A much stronger quinine/bitter note, though.
While it is more than enjoyable on its own, I'm definitely going to give it a try in some cocktail recipes that call for Lillet.
Anyone have ideas why it might be called "Americano"?
Googling, I see Gancia also makes an "Americano". However, it is bright red, like Campari.

AHL PLAYOFF PRIMER: Game 1 tonight at the NVMCWilkes-Barre/Scranton vs. Bridgeport, 7:35 pm
The Bridgeport Sound Tigers made the bus ride from Fairfield County to Nassau on Thursday afternoon in preparation of their road-home games on Friday and Saturday at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Bridgeport takes on the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in an opening round, best-of-7 American Hockey League playoff series. (Coincidentally, the Baby Pens got a mention in Thursday's ep of "The Office.")
One regular Sound Tigers observer provided us with this prediction of Game 1 lines:
Jesse Joensuu – Ben Walter – Kyle Okposo
Trevor Smith – Rob Hennigar – Mike Iggulden
Jon Sim – Tyler Haskins – Sean Bentivoglio
The fourth line will be comprised of three of the following: Micheal Haley, Pascal Morency, Tomas Marcinko and Dennis Packard.
Notes: As in the NHL, don't expect to see many fighters in the AHL playoffs, or at least much fighting among AHL heavyweights…The Sound Tigers have been carrying several young Islanders prospects, including Robin Figren, Justin DiBenedetto, Mark Katic, Max Gratchev (unsigned Travis Hamonic has gone home). Although you can be certain Bridgeport will go with a more veteran lineup for most, if not all of the series, our money is on the 20-year old DiBenedetto as the kid most likely to get a look.
University of North Dakota star Ryan Duncan, signed to an ATO last week, is also likely to be part of the "Black Aces" at the start of this series…Like the Islanders, the Sound Tigers have been hit hard by injuries. Junior Lessard has not practiced all week. The absence of strong AHL vets Jeremy Colliton and Kurtis McLean is a big blow to Bridgeport.
On defense, you could see the following:
Jack Hillen – Joe Callahan
Andrew MacDonald – Dustin Kohn
Jamie Fraser – Chris Lee
Jon Glead – Mark Wotton
In goal, expect Nathan Lawson to get the call as No. 1. But with three games in under 72 hours, Peter Mannino will likely see action in the series.
Fornabaio's Preview: We asked for a brief email analysis from the great Mike Fornabaio, who covers the Sound Tigers every day of the year for the Connecticut Post. Check out his blog and the paper's site for his prediction and additional info. Here's what Mike was kind enough to write especially for us:
"As Jack Capuano has said a couple of times this week, these are two teams that play a similar game, that love to pressure, that can play at a high tempo. They both send out talented forwards who excel when they get the puck deep; both have more than one line that can score. Both have defensemen who can move the puck.
"Bridgeport has to contain the Penguins' transition; the Sound Tigers got in trouble a few times when the Penguins got loose for odd-man rushes. And whether Capuano decides on Nathan Lawson or Peter Mannino (if only for a given night), that goalie has to at least match John Curry, who won 33 games for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
"If you're looking for some other players to watch, aside from Curry: D Ben Lovejoy (steady presence in the back), LW Janne Pesonen (first year over here, though not a kid; top scorer), C Jeff Taffe (big AHL scorer, playing only his second playoff), RW Chris Minard (sniper). Connor James, fearless and speedy little captain, has been out of practice with one of them lower-body injuries."
Capuano's Take: Sound Tigers coach Jack Capuano, on the phone this morning to Point Blank:
"They've got speed, deception, grit. Ben Lovejoy was plus-42. John Curry in goal has been tremendous for them.
"I've told our team that the little things are going to be the big things. It's going to come down to discipline, turnovers, territorial battles.
"No matter who we've put in the lineup, these guys have given us their all. Win or lose or draw, I guarantee you they will work extremely hard and play for each other."
The Series:
Game 1 – Friday, Apr. 17 – Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins at SOUND TIGERS 7:30 p.m. (NVMC)
Game 2 – Saturday, Apr. 18 – Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins at SOUND TIGERS 7 p.m. (NVMC)
Game 3 – Sunday, Apr. 19 – SOUND TIGERS at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 5:05 p.m.
Game 4 – Wednesday, Apr. 22 – Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins at SOUND TIGERS 7 p.m.
Game 5 – Friday, Apr. 24 – SOUND TIGERS at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 7:05 p.m.
Game 6 – Saturday, Apr. 25 – SOUND TIGERS at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 7:05 p.m.
Game 7 – Sunday, Apr. 26 – Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins at SOUND TIGERS 4 p.m.
Point Blank will have coverage of Games 1 and 2 from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum and will blog throughout the series. Kevin Schultz and I will be at Game 1 and Kevin will take care of Game 2.
As I'm sure you know by now, although their season is over, 24/7 coverage of all things New York Islanders has not ended on Point Blank. Although we have not nailed down our long-term future at this, we can guarantee daily coverage until at least Memorial Day. Please continue to spread the word. Thanks as always.

In 2011, just a few months after Snyder was elected, Republican lawmakers rammed through a $1.6 billion tax cut for Michigan businesses, paid for almost entirely by $1.4 billion in added taxes on average Michigan taxpayers.
The catch is that most of us won't feel the pinch until we do our 2012 state taxes, which are due April 15 — nearly two years after the change and five months after the 2012 elections.
Most Michigan filers are going to feel the pain, and soon.
The list of changes is long and expensive.
Homeowners and renters alike used to qualify for a credit if their household income was less than $82,650 a year; that's now down to $50,000 but only if their home's taxable value is less than $135,000. That will affect about 400,000 of us.
The number of deductions — the few breaks average taxpayers got — that have been eliminated is long. Gone are the child deduction, special exemptions for seniors and those getting at least half their income from unemployment checks; a refundable credit for low-income workers was reduced, impacting about 783,000 returns.
Also gone are credits for city income taxes, college tuition, adoptions and donations to universities, public radio and TV stations, food banks and homeless shelters.
Tax experts say about half of all Michigan residents who file taxes will see a "considerable" tax increase.
"There's quite a bit of surprise, quite a level of frustration with the increases," said Terry Conley, a tax partner at Grant Thornton in Southfield. "There's going to be some unhappy campers out there."
While they were at it, the GOP-dominated Legislature also put the income tax rate at 4.25 percent; it was supposed to drop to 3.9 percent in 2015 under a previous law.
Retirees took an additional hit last year, when pensions and 401(k) incomes were taxed.
A lot of us will feel the pain. A single parent with two children and $22,000 in annual income will get a refund of about $80, compared to $444. A married couple with two kids and an income of about $55,000 will pay $739 more in income tax. A married couple with two kids and an income of $250,000 will pay an additional $989.
So, with $1.6 billion in breaks and $1.4 billion in new tax liability later, the question is simple: Where are the jobs?

The Falcons swept their Saturday Matinee Doubleheader with the girls winning 3-0 and the boys 7-1.
The story will unfold in Monday's Express 1.28.13.
JAY-Hockey Night in Jay opened up with the North Country girls soundly defeating a very good Northfield team 7-1 in game one of the boy-girl doubleheader on a night where it felt warmer to be inside the rink than out.
The girls pumped home five first period goals, giving the coaching staff exactly what they have been looking for this season, in a very complete-team win.
"We were finally putting the puck in the net and I think we caught them a little flat footed," said coach Claude Paul. "They had some issues with their team today so I don't think they came out ready at the start."
JAY–With temperatures in the negative teens, and a wind chill factor that made it feel another fifteen degrees colder, family, friends and fans alike braved the conditions to come out and watch the North Country boys hockey team play a very balanced, competitive and clean game as they defeated Colchester 4-3 on Wednesday evening.
"This was a great rebound for us," said coach Andrew Roy. "The guys played smart and probably blocked more shots than in the other nine games combined.
ORLEANS–The Lake Region boys flexed their muscle on Tuesday night, easily defeating the Richford Falcons by the score of 66-43.
"I thought we held it out and the guys played well down the stretch," said LR coach James Ingalls. "We had our little places where we fell asleep for a while, but they worked well together."
Drew Gallup led the charge for the now 11-0 Rangers, scoring a team-high eighteen points.
The win keeps LRU in second place in Division II, tied record-wise with Vergennes, but trailing them in index points.
BRATTLEBORO–Despite putting over twenty shots on net, the North Country girl's hockey team could only manage to score one goal in their 2-1 loss on Monday afternoon.
"We couldn't put anything in, and everything we did seemed to be off," said coach Claude Paul.
"We played down to their level and made another goalie look good."
Brattleboro would stake themselves a 2-0 lead, and they made it stand up for the entire game.
The lone Falcon goal came in the third period when Whitney Bernier scored, with assists going to Jenna Moss and Savannah Alberghini-Giroux.
ORLEANS–It wasn't easy, but the Lake Region girls were able to overcome a rough third quarter to pick up the 48-39 win over Lyndon Institute on Monday evening at the Don Harter Memorial Gymnasium.
"When we needed to, the kids gutted it out and picked up their intensity and did the things we had to do, said LRU coach Mark Tinker.
Kayla Jardine would lead all scorers with twenty points for 0-8 Lyndon, and Emily Lawson's twelve were tops for Lake Region.
Drew Neal was also in double digits with eleven for LRU, who improve to 6-2 on the season.
BFA St. Albans 4, No. Country 3 OT
Brandon Streeter's second goal of the night sealed the Falcons fate as BFA came from behind to win their third straight overtime contest at the Collins-Perley Sports Complex against North Country.
"BFA has a lot of depth and they are a tough team to beat, especially in their own barn," said head coach Andrew Roy.
After weathering a barrage of shots in the first five minutes, things settled down for the Falcons, and after one, the boys were up 2-1 on goals by Logan Fortier and Kody Halikas.
Tyler Tinker is like many recent college graduates, he is looking to move on, find gainful employment and begin the next phase of his life.
Tyler wrapped up his collegiate career, for now, as he says he may pursue a masters degree at a later date, and will be heading to Florida to see if he can make his professional dreams come true.
Only he will not be going there just with a degree the exercise sciences, oh no.
He will be going there to make his mark in the world of professional wrestling, for you see it is not just Tyler Tinker that is making the 1,500 mile journey south.
CONCORD–Chris DeLaBruere had 21 points, and two other Crusaders were in double-digits as UCA defeated Concord (1-6) on Tuesday evening to move to a Division IV best 8-1.
"We didn't shoot as well as we wanted to but Marquel Taylor-Webster had another strong game inside with 13 pts and 18 boards, while Chris added 8 boards to go along with his 21," said coach Tony DeLaBruere. "Defensively we still have much work to do, but some adjustments offensively at half time really seemed to work for us and allowed us to take advantage of our inside game which seems to be clicking right now."
ORLEANS–Ten days in between games is a long stretch for any team, and it showed on Tuesday night as Lake Region fell for the first time this season, losing 38-35 to the Lamoille Lady Lancers.
Casey Machia and Drew Neal each had 10 points to lead their respective teams in scoring.
Next up for 5-1 Lake Region is a visit from Hazen this Friday. Tip-off is at 7:00.
For the full story, check out Thursday's Express on 1/17/13.

Arlen Ness Stage 2 Big Sucker Air Cleaner Kit For Harley
Arlen Ness, the "King of Choppers," knows a thing or two about performance. The Big Sucker is the best-selling and most powerful air cleaner kit on the market - period. Simply, the Big Sucker is designed to give your engine maximum airflow for maximum performance. Testing shows that by simply installing a Big Sucker kit, horsepower gains of up to 21% are attainable.
Big Sucker kits feature patented, hidden breather backing plate technology - this means the breathers are incorporated into the air cleaner housing itself. Gone are unsightly external hoses and hardware, giving your bike a super-clean look. Each hidden breather has a sealing O-ring at the heads and exits at the carburetor or throttle body inlet to provide efficient internal engine pressure relief.
Air filter elements are made one at a time using the finest materials available. Filters are all pre-oiled, and feature four layers of surgical-grade cotton to promote airflow and filter air effectively. The filters are hand-poured one at a time in a urethane body, unlike many other filters that are spun, which can leave a residue on the filtration media.
The Stainless Jacketed Filter differs from the Standard Filter in two areas: The mesh supporting the gauze is made of a rust-resistant stainless steel as opposed to standard carbon steel, and the cotton filtration gauze is in its natural (white) color, rather than the pink/red hue of the Standard Filter.
All kits include a Big Sucker backing plate, high-flow filter, chrome banjo bolts, gasket, hardware, and simple instructions.
The Stage 2 kit differs from the Stage 1 by including a 20% larger air filter element.
Note: Air cleaner images are for reference only. All filters kits will come with your choice of filter.

Kaj Zackrisson might just be the most stoked professional skier you'll ever meet. Plain and simple, he is always so happy to be skiing and to be in the company of good friends. But don't let his smiles and jokes fool you. Kaj can ski the steepest, deepest and gnarliest terrain around. After growing up alpine racing in Sweden, he participated in his first freeride competition at age 25 and was hooked. He's since won the Verbier Xtreme competition three times and the Big Mountain Pro twice. Kaj has appeared in numerous ski movies and Salomon Freeski TV episodes over the years and will continue to push the boundaries of our sport for many years to come.

If you are a graduate of an undergraduate program outside the United States, you may apply to enter New England Law | Boston's three-year, full-time or four-year, part-time J.D. international students program. Successful completion of the J.D. program will allow you to sit for any bar examination in the United States.
J.D. International Students Credential Assembly Service (CAS)
New England Law requires that foreign transcripts be submitted through the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) J.D. CAS. If you completed any postsecondary work outside the United States (including its territories) or Canada, you must use this service for the evaluation of foreign transcripts.
The one exception to this requirement is if you completed the foreign work through a study abroad, consortium, or exchange program sponsored by a U.S. or Canadian institution. If so, you must clearly indicate the work as such on the home campus transcript.
This service is included in the LSDAS subscription fee. In addition, a Foreign Credential Evaluation will be completed by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) and incorporated into the LSDAS report.
Requirements for Foreign Undergraduate Degrees
All law school international students must take the LSAT as part of the application process. If English is not your first language or your undergraduate degree was not received from an English-speaking institution, you must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). For more information, please call (609) 771-7100 or visit www.toefl.org.
You must receive a minimum score of 100 on the Internet based test or 250 on the computer based test on the TOEFL. You must then contact the Educational Testing Service (ETS) to request that your TOEFL score be sent to LSAC. LSAC's TOEFL code for the J.D. CAS is 8395. Your score will then be included in the Foreign Credential document, which is included in the LSDAS law school report.
To use the J.D. CAS, log in to the LSAC online account and follow the instructions for registering for the service. Be sure to print out a Transcript Request Form for each institution and to send it promptly to each one. More time is usually required to receive foreign transcripts.
For questions about the J.D. CAS, please contact LSAC at (215) 968-1011 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Applicants with Foreign Law Degrees
If you have a law degree from an institution outside the United States, you may be eligible for advanced placement into a two-year, full-time program or a three-year, part-time program leading to a J.D.
Successful completion of the J.D. program allows a graduate to sit for any bar examination in the United States. To qualify for advanced placement, you must:
- comply with all of the requirements for foreign undergraduate degrees (as listed above), and
- obtain certification of the foreign law degree by an academic evaluation agency.
Nonimmigrant Student Requirements
We welcome international students to pursue their interest in law at New England Law | Boston. If you are a nonimmigrant student, however, additional paperwork and documentation may be necessary to enroll here.
Please note that any visa or entry requirements of the U.S. government are your responsibility. You also may be required to register with the federal government. Entry requirements and visa information are available from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

|Fire Marshal; Stove Started Ashe Fire
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 27 June 2013 08:32
Fire that destroyed an Ashe mobile home late Tuesday afternoon is being blamed on a sparking stove, according to the Ashe Fire Marshal. Bob Davis said that the 5:25pm fire at 177 Bluegrass Drive was due to a sparking stove in the kitchen of Crystal Maxwell's rental home, a blaze that started
as Maxwell was visiting at a neighbor's home. Her daughter, though, was at home, according to Davis, and had to flee out the back door as the fire spread. Davis said it was fortunate that at least two members of the Jefferson Fire Department worked just a short distance from the trailer park, and quickly worked to keep the fire from spreading from other structures in the mobile home park as West Jefferson and Jefferson equipment arrived on the scene. First arriving units reported that the mobile home owned by John Jones was fully involved in flames. Davis said that the Red Cross was helping Crystal Maxwell and her daughter with the loss.

LISBON - As the Lisbon Town Council prepares to go into budget negotiations councilors voted Thursday on a preliminary list of raises for employees and elected officials.
The list is for planning purposes only and could be changed before the budget is finalized in November.
No member of the town council will see an increase in their $2,400 stipend this year and Town Supervisor James W. Armstrong will not get a raise above his $12,700 allotment.
But other town officials and employees will receive a two percent raise according to the preliminary votes.
Town Councilors sparred at Thursdays meeting over whether or not town employees should receive raises this year and how much they should be.
Councilor Alan D. Dailey said employees, especially those who have not had raises in the last several years, should get three percent raises.
The criteria weve used for the last three years is to save the town money, Mr. Dailey said. But why should we look at these people who have done a good job for the last three years and say were not going to give you a raise because we want to look good for the town?
Councilor Susan M. Duffy said she wants to see a breakdown of what town officials and employees do and why they are compensated the way they are.
Town Justices Patricia Fletcher and Philip Fonda will each make $10,926. Mr. Dailey and Councilor Nathanael Putney voted in favor of giving the town justices a three percent raise. Supervisor James W. Armstrong and Councilors Gary J. Jarvis and Ms. Duffy voted for the two percent raise.
Court Clerk Nicole Barr will make $11,557 and in her role as bookkeeper will see her salary rise to $23,052. Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Putney and Mr. Jarvis voted in favor of the two percent raise. Mr. Dailey opposed the raise, saying the town is underpaying, and Ms. Duffy opposed the raise for being too high.
Town Clerk Donna D. McBath will have her salary rise to $32,186. Mr. Dailey was opposed to giving Mrs. McBath a two percent raise because I think it should be more.
Highway Superintendent Timothy Dow will make $52,318. Ms. Duffy opposed the raise.
Assessor Stephen Teele did not request a raise this year but the town council increased his salary two percent as well to $29,024. Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Putney, Mr. Dailey and Mr. Jarvis voted in favor of the raise and Ms. Duffy opposed it.
I cant give a raise when someone is not asking for it, Ms. Duffy said.
Code Enforcement Officer Christopher J. Sherwin will see his salary increase to $24,975. All town councilors voted in favor of his raise. Town Historian Nancy J. Lafaver will make $1,485. All councilors voted in favor of her raise.
Attorney Charles Nash will make $6,630. All councilors voted in favor of the raise.
Dog Control Officer Sue Siedlecki will make $5,610. There was no opposition to her raise.
Sewer Superintendent Doug Smith will make $14,560 and in his role as water purification supervisor he will make $10,057. Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Putney, Mr. Dailey and Mr. Jarvis voted in favor of a raise for Mr. Smith but Ms. Duffy abstained.
I dont know what he does, Ms. Duffy said, explaining her abstention.
Public Works Director Scott Skiff will make $24,092. All councilors voted in favor of the raise.
The town council tabled discussion about the salary of youth program coordinator Tori Lampetto, who makes $5,000, and Lisbon Beach and Campground Director Michael J. ONeil.
Mr. ONeil had put in a request for a 52 percent raise. He currently makes $13,000.
We should look at the campground director salary when we look at restructuring the campground, Ms. Duffy said.
The preliminary budget will be available for public viewing on Oct. 5.
If our budget is out of wack we can go back and put everyone back to where they were, Mr. Jarvis said, emphasizing that all of the salary increases voted on by the town council on Thursday are preliminary.
The final budget is due in November.

|Boone To Frontier; Get Your Act Together
|Written by Gary Childers
|Friday, 18 January 2013 07:25
Boone Town Council held Frontier Natural Gas's leader's "feet to the fire" during Thursday evening's meeting, "The continued frustration is the lack of response. The problem from the beginning is where promises were made to be extending into neighborhoods and then there's dead silence."
Council member Lynne Mason went on to say she wanted to see Frontier's written plan for Boone, the plans it has submitted to the State Utilities Commission, their feasibility studies, and also wanted to know if Frontier had applied for Article 12 funding which helps offset extra costs in areas that are more expensive for natural gas installation, concluding by saying that we "deserve answers to those questions". Dave Shipley, Frontier Gas Vice President for East Coast Operations, responded to Council members concerns beginning by stating, "We dropped the ball in 2012 on things. It's going to change. We're going to be more community involved, more interactive." Mr. Shipley explained that he doesn't mean that wholesale construction of lines will take place, but said Frontier has allocated two million dollars for capital construction in 2013 for their six county service area with approximately $400,000 ear marked for Watauga and the Town of Boone. He then described the probable areas for expansion in 2013 and stated; "We're on your side even though it doesn't seem like it sometimes". The discussion ended with the new area manager, Darrell Knight, speaking briefly and distributing business cards with his cell phone number issuing the invitation for Council members to call any time there was a concern he needed to address.

From fresh fruit baskets to gluten-free treats and more, plan the perfect Halloween party by creating options for guests with dietary restrictions.
Having dietary restrictions can be a challenge any time of year, but it can really take the fun out of the holidays. Whether you have special dietary needs or you have a child, friend or neighbor who does, consider throwing a Halloween party that provides treats everyone can enjoy!
Throwing your own party ensures that you get to enjoy the festivities without worrying about any hidden dangers on the menu. Using Hickory Farms gourmet food gifts is a great way to cut down on your preparation time without sacrificing flavor, but you'll also be glad to know that many of our items are gluten free and diabetic friendly.
These days, there are so many ideas for gluten-free meals, including seasonal serving ideas that kids and adults alike will love. The Tarantula Tacos and Chili-Filled Coffins from Adventures of a Gluten Free Mom are both cute and creepy, not to mention delicious! Consider dressing up your chili with our Beef Summer Sausage and some gourmet cheese, like the Smoked Cheddar Blend from our Savory Cheese Collection.
Other gluten-free options include Frankenstein Baked Peppers and Scary Eyeballs.
Halloween is also a challenging time of year for people with diabetes, but there are lots of diabetic-friendly Halloween foods you can include at your celebration. Diabetic Friendly Halloween Tips has some great advice on keeping the holiday fun and healthy for everyone.
One suggestion is to steer clear of sugary treats in favor of savory delights like gourmet nuts. This Vampire Bite nut mix is a bold way to welcome guests, but you could also serve one of our nut gift baskets for a no-fuss party solution.
Entice partygoers with a platter of gourmet meats and cheeses or even a festive holiday cheese ball. You can create a spooky spider cheese ball using bell pepper slices, olives and some black sesame seeds.
The trick to great entertaining with dietary restrictions or food allergies is to keep an open mind and be creative. How can you serve or display a food to fit the Halloween theme?
Do you have any ideas for creating an inclusive Halloween party that everyone will enjoy? Share your experiences entertaining for Halloween with dietary restrictions in the comments section below!

Adjuvant radiation is the cornerstone of managing patients with high risk features after surgery for early stage endometrial cancer. This trial attempted to see if the addition of chemotherapy to radiation could improve outcomes. Unfortunately, this trial was not designed well enough to answer that question by itself. There was tremendous heterogeneity amongst the treatment regimens that were prescribed; both in terms of the chemotherapy regimen used and whether brachytherapy was employed. Also, the details regarding the prescription of brachytherapy were never reported. Patients who did not get an optional lymphadenectomy could have entered this trial with occult para-aortic disease; and if so, such patients would stand to gain more from the addition of chemotherapy than the patients that were selected for this study. This study did not report on treatment toxicity, and the statistical power of the study design was also never shown. Because these points, it is premature to conclude that chemotherapy and radiation are superior to radiation alone for the patients studied in this trial.

Arctic Sea Ice decline in the 21st Century
Guest Commentary by Cecilia Bitz, University of Washington
Last month a paper I co-authored received considerable media attention. Headlines read "Experts warn North Pole will be 'ice free' by 2040″, "The Big Melt: Loss of Sea Ice Snowballs", and "Arctic Clear for Summer Sailing by 2040: Models Predict Rapid Decline of Sea Ice". The story also reached NPR, BBC, CBC, the Discovery channel, and Fox News, among others. Dr. Marika Holland, the first author of the paper, was inundated with media attention. About a dozen journalists contacted me too. I was impressed by the questions they posed — questions that probably reflect what the public most wants to know. However, after giving lengthy interviews, I would read the resulting article and see my explanations boiled down to a few lines. In this essay, I'd like to explain the science in the paper and give my answers to the most often asked questions.
In our paper (with co-author Bruno Tremblay), we examined the September Arctic sea ice cover in the 20th and 21st centuries in climate models, and found occasional decades of very rapid retreat. The most extreme case was a decrease from 6 to 2 million square kilometers in a decade (see Fig 1). This is about 4 times faster than the decline that has been observed in the past decade.
Figure 1: (a) Northern Hemisphere sea ice extent in September from one integration of the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) with observations from the satellite era shown in red. The light blue line is a 5-yr running mean. The three lower panels show the September ice concentration (ice floes are separated by open water) in three select decades.
It is common practice to run climate models multiple times with slight variations to the initial conditions. Because the system is chaotic, the natural variability in each run is random and uncorrelated from one run to the next. When an ensemble of runs is averaged, the natural variability is reduced in the ensemble mean, and it is easier to detect a significant trend.
An ensemble of runs offers an opportunity to evaluate rare events too, such as extreme sea ice decay. We were in search of evidence for "tipping points", which several authors have speculated might exist in sea ice. RealClimate places sea ice in the category of systems with "known unknowns" with regard to tipping points. This means we know there are thresholds involving sea ice (e.g., it can cease to exist), but we don't know when, or if, the climate will arrive at one.
Only one of seven ensemble members had an event as extreme as quoted above, and it resulted in near ice-free conditions for September by 2040 (see Fig 1d). (The sea ice grows back at least for some portion of winter for the duration of the 21st century.) However, every ensemble member had an event 5 years or longer at some time in the 21st century when the sea ice retreat was about 3 times faster than the observed retreat since 2001 (see Fig 2). These ensemble members took about 5–10 years longer to become nearly ice-free in September than the most extreme case.

|ASU Alum Quate Named Rays' Top Minor-League Reliever
|Written by MIke Flynn
|Wednesday, 20 October 2010 20:41
Former Appalachian State University baseball standout Zach Quate (Raleigh, N.C./Wakefield) has been honored by the Tampa Bay Rays as the organization's top relief pitcher for 2010, the Rays announced earlier this month.
In his first full professional season, Quate turned in a dominant campaign for Charlotte Stone Crabs, Tampa Bay's high-Class A affiliate in the Florida State League. The right-hander went 2-2 with 25 saves and a 1.49 ERA in 49 appearances, limiting opposing batters to a .199 average while striking out 90 and walking only 18 in 72.1 innings of work. In the process, he earned mid-season and postseason FSL all-star recognition and help lead the Stone Crabs to a berth in the league's championship series.

PARISHVILLE - Continuation of a lawsuit granted Protect the Adirondacks on construction of community connector snowmobile trails in the Adirondack Park will not stop the planned replacement of a bridge that is part of a trail from Colton to Parishville.
We already have trails there in most areas, said Debbie A. Christy, president of the St. Lawrence County Snowmobile Association. Were still proceeding with the bridge.
The five-mile trail goes from Morgan Road to Pickettville Road to Clear Pond to Stark Road.
On March 28, the Appellate Division allowed Protect to continue trying to establish that community connector snowmobile trails administered by the Adirondack Park Agency and state Department of Environmental Conservation violate the Forever Wild clause of the state Constitution.
The suit also claims that the state land master plan and DEC regulations are violated by the use of large groomers on trails.
Protects lawsuit challenges recent policy and snowmobile trail construction in the park. It specifically mentions the cutting of more than 2,200 trees in the Moose River Plains Wild Forest area as excessive and notes that other community connector trails approved in the Wilmington and Jessup River Wild Forest areas will also require cutting hundreds of trees.
Protect estimates that the entire community connector trail system planned by the DEC in its Adirondack Park Snowmobile Plan will result in cutting over 8,000 trees and clearcutting almost 50 acres of the Forest Preserve, the group wrote in a statement. In addition to the illegal tree cutting, Protect alleges that the Forever Wild clause of the Constitution was violated by the widening, clearing, grading, flattening, tree removal, rock removal, destruction of bedrock, bench cutting, use of gravel, and bridge building involved in creating the new community connector snowmobile trail in the Moose River Plains.
According to Protects press release, the lawsuit focuses on how the APA and DEC manage and groom snowmobile trails in the park and is not about the elimination of snowmobiles or other motorized vehicles.
The St. Lawrence County Snowmobile Association has been told the lawsuit should not affect the bridge replacement it is planning, Ms. Christy said.
If Protect is successful in eliminating the use of large, tracked groomers on snowmobile trails, that could be another matter. Protect believes state law provides that the only motor vehicle allowed on a designated snowmobile trail is a snowmobile.
We all use those groomers and have been using them since the 1970s, Ms. Christy said.
While the groomers look large, she said their rubber tracks create no more damage than a snowmobile.

West Beirut (West Beyrouth)
Tarek (Rami Doueiri), Omar (Mohamed Chamas), and May (Rola Al Amin) roam the streets of the city, searching for their next adventure. Their parents worry that they're becoming too wild, but the kids don't care. A common situation in any country, at any time - only this is Beirut, Lebanon in 1975, a city split by the first stirrings of war. School has been shut down and the city they love has been torn in two - there is now a Christian-controlled East Beirut, and West Beirut, run by the new Muslim militias and where the three friends live. For the kids, the political schism means greater freedom, and the kids find pleasure in biking, talking, and falling in love. But they cannot ignore the war forever.

This 20-year-olds mind burns like a furnace with new ideas.
Buying an office building in the town of Watertown is the latest accomplishment in the business career of Matthew S. Turcotte, a junior at Clarkson University in Potsdam. The precocious entrepreneur who launched his website development company, North Shore Solutions, at age 16 closed on the building at 22740 Murrock Circle in January after earning a six-figure salary in 2012. Along with adding a second office in Watertown, Mr. Turcotte is now the landlord responsible for four tenants at the commercial building, which includes 65 storage units.
Mr. Turcotte began brainstorming about buying commercial real estate last summer. He hatched his business after meeting with a Clarkson University alumnus, Elmer Banks, who during his career as an entrepreneur launched a chain of banks in Lehigh Valley, Pa. Now older than 80, Mr. Banks drove from his summer house at Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondack Mountains to meet with Mr. Turcotte in Potsdam for lunch at his office at the Clarkson campus, located at an incubator space in Peyton Hall. After they finished brainstorming, Mr. Turcotte left the meeting with a feeling of self-belief, setting in motion a plan to buy the Watertown building.
I had never had a credit score or borrowed money before, and I told him, I dont know if I have the resources to do it. He said, I think you can totally do it. To meet with someone in the finance industry that said I could do it, that was a light bulb moment, he said. I then found this piece of property in Murrock Circle, met with a Realtor to take a look at it. It took about five months or so for the closing.
Learning by doing is a message preached often by faculty at Clarkson Universitys Center for Entrepreneurship, said Mr. Turcotte, who is majoring in innovation and entrepreneurship. The university recruited him when he was a 16-year-old student at Thousand Islands Central School, after he launched North Shore Solutions. Clarkson President Anthony G. Collins made an unprecedented business offer to lure the young entrepreneur: In exchange for a 10 percent equity stake in North Shore Solutions, he received a full-ride scholarship, alumni mentors and office space for his business.
The university established a Young Entrepreneur Award for incoming freshmen and gave the first award to Mr. Turcotte in 2010. Incoming students who submit business plans can apply to receive discounted tuition under the Clarkson program, which in turn receives an equity stake in their businesses.
To try this out, Matt was the ideal candidate. You dont have to spend much time with him to recognize he has a set of characteristics that will lead to business success, Mr. Collins said. I understood that Clarkson could add a lot of value to his life as a person, and there was a point when I said: Matt, I really believe you should come to Clarkson. He responded, Make me a deal.
It turned out to be a deal, Mr. Collins said, thats drastically changed the Clarksons model for higher education. Rather than targeting entrepreneurs later in life to enroll in its programs, Clarksons program gives students the resources and mentors needed to become successful when they are young. Alumni with successful business careers are paired with students as mentors for the entrepreneur program, offering them advice as they build their businesses from the ground up.
Its not just our faculty that can talk about how to develop and grow, but you have someone in the class whos doing it, he said. We can have a traditional classroom experience, but in addition we can be a for-profit university that is involved in business development, so students can be involved in growing business enterprises. When theyre successful, we can use that equity share to subsidize our nonprofit enterprise, a way of proving another (revenue) stream that contains the cost of higher education, has economic development benefits to our region and adds the greatest value because people are learning on the job.
Justin A. Taylor, who became the Clayton town supervisor in 2007, hired Mr. Turcotte to develop the towns website. It was the first time working on a project with a local government for the young entrepreneur, whose company now works with 40 municipalities statewide along with small businesses and nonprofits. North Shore Solutions offers an array of services, including website and logo design, electronic commerce options and online hosting services.
Mr. Taylor said he spotted the young mans knack for technology when he was a teenager volunteering in the sound room at First Baptist Church in Clayton.
I ran the sound and he ran the video, and was doing the pastors text on the screen, he said. The pastor would read the text, and in between slides Matt was busy on the computer. It was evident he could do a lot, and I later asked him to do the towns website. He continues to work for us, and other municipalities across the state and country as business and governments now have a desire to make more information available on the web.
The universitys free-thinking model of going to college as an avenue to start a business fits Mr. Turcotte like a glove. He spends his days sharing ideas with students and business owners, incorporating ideas hes learned in class to make his business more efficient and working with clients on projects over the cloud. He doesnt have much time on weekends for party-going. In May, hell take a trip to Italy with a group of 20 students to tour businesses.
In the 80s and 90s, someone trying to start a business from a dorm room would be highly frowned upon by a university. But now that youve had (success stories like) Mark Zuckerman with Facebook, students have ideas and universities are supporting them. I can learn things here in the classroom and apply them right away to find out what does work, what doesnt. Its exciting to connect the dots.
Asked where the future will steer him in the next five years, the young entrepreneur answered he plans to find more opportunities to buy commercial real estate on one hand and grow North Shore Solutions on the other.
What I found out about myself is Im more an entrepreneur than a technical person, he said. Ive always been interested in technology, but its the entrepreneurial spirit that really drives me. I used to think, Im going to start this business, and thats what Im going to do for the rest of my life. But now Ive had this experience buying a building and learned so much, and Ive come to really like this real estate and financing side of things. You look around and see what opportunities come up, and if you see one you pursue it.

Now on to the questions and issues. /dev/hda1 is (hd0,0) in GRUB naming terms. /dev/hda5 is (hd0,4) using that same logic.
You can use a chainloader, provided you can successfully point to a root partition containing a boot image. IF those conditions can be met, then these commands will work:
title Mandrake or Mandriva on /dev/hda5
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
chainloader +1
Another note, you really do not need separate swap partitions for each distro. I have had as many as a dozen systems that all use the same swap partition - just obviously not at the same time! Since multibooting means you only run one system at a time, one swap partition can suffice. Does not hurt to have separate ones, but it is more work and it is overkill.
Another way to do this is to find out what the name of the Linux image is for each system and explicitly write entries that point right to what you need. If and once you get good at GRUB, you can do this on the fly, running GRUB interactively, editing and modifying existing entries, then you can change them once you are sure of the exact parameters.
This command:
find /boot/grub/menu.lst will tell you what partitions each GRUB menu is on. That can give you some clues. Then you can mount the partitions on one system, poke at the files, reading and possibly copying parts of the content, building one or more GRUB configuration files on one or more partitions. That gets into more advanced use of GRUB, so don't go there until you understand GRUB.
Check out this link: http://www.mepis.org/node/13445
and this one: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html to work with GRUB on SimplyMEPIS and with GRUB in general. Once you master using GRUB you can do all kinds of amazing things with it, but it does take both reading and practice to learn several of its major capabilities. These two links will get you moving in that direction if you review them carefully.

Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center (JCCC) are reporting exciting dual discoveries in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for about 85 percent of all lung cancers, the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Two new experimental drugs, ramucirumab and CO-1868, developed for use in patients with advanced NSCLC, are showing great promise in UCLA clinical trials in a type of cancer that historically has had very poor outcomes.
The findings were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting 2014 in Chicago.
Ramucirumab: A New Second-Line Defense
Lung cancer is expected to cause over 150,000 deaths in the United States this year alone. The usual standard therapy for patients when disease worsens during or after initial therapy is chemotherapy with a single drug. This is a patient population for whom an overall survival of approximately six to nine months is usual, with less than 10 percent of patients responding to therapy, and even then, responses are generally of short duration.
Dr. Edward Garon, assistant professor in hematology-oncology and JCCC member, conducted an extensive multi-year phase 3 clinical trial of 1,253 patients with NSCLC who had their cancer progress during or after a first-line treatment of chemotherapy. Ramucirumab, an investigational drug being developed by Eli Lilly and Company, is an antibody that targets the extracellular domain of VEGFR-2, an important protein in the formation of blood vessels that support cancer cells. Patients were given the experimental drug in combination with docetexal, a clinically approved therapy that is considered the cornerstone of second-line treatment in advanced NSCLC.
Response to ramucirumab was 23 percent at the time the study was analyzed. The drug is the first new therapy for previously treated NSCLC to improve overall survival, with findings showing a progression-free survival (PFS) rate of 4.5 months, and median overall survival of 10.5 months. This is the first trial in previously treated NSCLC patients to demonstrate a survival benefit in the study population in approximately a decade.
"We are excited to have a drug that lengthens survival time in lung cancer patients, who often have few options," Garon said. "Although adverse effects were experienced by patients, most commonly neutropenia, fatigue and hypertension, toxicities were largely manageable with appropriate dose reductions and supportive care, and without substantial reduction in planned dose intensity."
Data from the trial was published today in The Lancet.
Combatting the T790M Mutation with CO-1686
One of the major advances in the understanding of lung cancer has been the identification of specific mutations that drive the disease, and are presumed to be the initial genetic event that triggers cells to become cancerous. Of note, the results of the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) within the last two weeks. The JCCC was one of a group of leading institutions who participated in this collaborative project that showed that personalized therapies could be directed at a large percentage of non-small cell lung cancer patients.
A first example of targetable mutations in lung cancer was the identification of the EGFR mutation. This has resulted in a new class of targeted therapeutic agents called EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Though TKIs have delivered promising results, the duration of benefit to patients still remains relatively short with progressive disease generally occurring about a year after the start of treatment. TKI treatment is also complicated by side effects such as diarrhea and skin rash.
Recent studies have shown that when resistance to EGFR inhibitors occurs, more than half the time it is due to the emergence of a new "gatekeeper" mutation, called T790M. Currently, there are no targeted therapies approved for the treatment of the T790M mutation.
CO-1686 is an oral investigational drug discovered and being developed by Clovis Oncology to selectively target both the initial EGFR mutations and the T790M resistance mutation.
Dr. Jonathan Goldman, assistant professor in hematology-oncology and JCCC member, was one of the leaders of a study in a cohort of 88 patients with EGFR-mutated, advanced NSCLC who were previously treated with an EGFR inhibitor and subsequently developed resistant disease. In a phase 1 trial, CO-1686 was administered continuously to patients in 21-day cycles.
Response to the drug, meaning those patients whose tumors shrank significantly, was seen in 58 percent of the patients. The benefit has been durable, with more than 75 percent of patients still on the drug at the time the study was analyzed. Treatment-related side effects, including elevated blood sugar levels, were for the most part mild and manageable.
"The results we've seen with CO-1686 are very promising," said Goldman. "Many of these responses are very dramatic, and the result is that patients can feel better and live longer, often with fewer side effects than chemotherapy."

|Statistics Edit
Ability Details
Pix, Faerie Companion is a passive ability that fires three projectiles towards Lulu's target whenever she makes a basic attack. These are targeted but can be blocked by enemies in the way.
- Does not apply spell effects.
- Does not apply on-hit effects.
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will not block the damage.
- This ability is considered to be a projectile for Unbreakable and Wind Wall.
Additional Information:
- Pix, Faerie Companion will only fire with basic attacks and will not fire with abilities that proc on-hit effects like Mystic Shot, Parrrley, Infinite Duress, , etc.
- Pix, Faerie Companion fires from Pix's location, not the location of the unit Pix is following.
- Pix does not assist attacks on structures.
- At 2.000 attack speed Pix will fire an endless stream of bolts. at 2.001 attack speed Pix will not be able to match the speed and will start to lose bolts.
- As Help, Pix! lasts 6 second on an ally, with 2.000 AS the maximum number of attacks during the duration (without attack timer resets) is 12. Thus, the total possible damage Pix can deal in this way is 108 / 252 / 396 / 540 / 684 / 828 / 972 / 1116 / 1260 (+ 180% AP) magic damage.
- Pix, Faerie Companion's damage is counted towards the unit Pix is following, as such, it will count as an ally's damage if he is following an ally and it counts as Lulu's damage if Pix is following her or attached to an enemy unit.
- Pix cannot be targeted in any way though there is a bug that happens under unknown circumstances that allows for pix to be targeted.
- Pix, Faerie Companion acts in different ways with effects that would prevent basic attack damage:
- If the allied champion Pix is following is blinded, Pix and the champion will both miss.
- Riposte will only parry or block one attack, either the allied champion's or one of Pix's depending on when it was activated.
- Aegis Protection will not block any bolt as they deal magic damage, while the basic attacks that caused Pix to fire can be potentially blocked
- Counter Strike will dodge all of Pix's attacks along with those of the allied champion he's following.
Ability Details
Glitterlance is a dual pass-through linear skillshot.
- Applies spell effects as an area of effect ability.
- Spell vamp is reduced to one-third effectiveness.
- heal you for 5% of the raw damage dealt. will
- slow for 1 second. will apply a 40%
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block the damage and slow.
- This ability is considered to be a projectile for Unbreakable and Wind Wall.
Additional Information:
- Glitterlance shoots two bolts, one from Lulu and the other from wherever Pix is when the spell is cast.
- Moving the cursor towards Lulu when targeting will cause the two bolts to cross fire, while moving the cursor away from Lulu will cause the bolts to fire towards the same point.
- Enemies can only be damaged by one bolt. However, they can be affected by the slow of both, refreshing the duration if they hit in succession.
- If an enemy is hit by both bolts, the slow does not stack.
- While Glitterlance pops spell shield, the target is still able to be damaged and slowed by the second bolt, if the conditions are right, after negating the first with a spell shield.
Ability Details
Whimsy is a single targeted ability that can be cast on allies or enemies.
- Does not apply spell effects.
- Spell shields will block the polymorph.
- This ability is considered to be a projectile for Unbreakable and Wind Wall.
Additional Information:
- Whimsy can interrupt channeled abilities when used on enemy players.
- Whimsy's polymorph particle changes with her skin:
- Classic Lulu turns her target into a squill, a two-tailed animal.
- Bittersweet Lulu turns her target into a cupcake.
- Wicked Lulu turns her target into a black cat.
- Dragon Trainer Lulu turns her target into a baby dragon stuck in an egg.
- Winter Wonder Lulu turns her target into a snowman.
Ability Details
Help, Pix! is a targeted ability that can be cast on either an allied or an enemy champion or minion.
- Applies spell effects as a single target ability.
- Spell vamp is fully applied.
- heal you for 15% of the raw damage dealt. will
- slow for 1.5 seconds. will apply a 40%
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block the damage and vision, but Pix will still follow the target.
Additional Information:
- Pix will respect his maximum leash and return to Lulu if her target moves 2000 units away from her.
- Pix is independent from the absorption shield when cast on an ally and he will continue to assist the target's attacks even if the shield breaks.
- Likewise, the absorption shield will persist for the full effect even if the ally target leaves Pix's leash range.
- While Pix is away from Lulu, his bolt from Glitterlance will fire from his location toward the cursor.
- Doing so can extend the range of Glitterlance to be much larger than it normally is.
Ability Details
Wild Growth is a targeted ability that grants the target bonus health and an aura.
Additional Information:
- There is a size limit to how large champions can grow. Contrary to popular belief, using it on a Cho'Gath with 6 Feast stacks with a Greater Relic buff will not increase the size significantly.
- Wild Growth's size increase will extend Cho'Gath's Vorpal Spikes range.
- Wild Growth's health restoration is not reduced by the Grievous Wounds debuff.
- Wild Growth's health restoration will retain when the ability's duration ends.
- Wild Growth's knockup component will pop spell shields.
- Wild Growth's aura is a persistent slow, keeping enemies slowed for as long as they remain in range.
- Slows will linger for 0.25 seconds after leaving the marked area.
Map-Specific Differences
- Wild Growth
- Cooldown is 120 / 110 / 100 seconds instead of 110 / 95 / 80 seconds.

Organized around a rich blend of oral histories, Going South follows a group of Jewish women come of age in the shadow of the Holocaust and deeply committed to social justice who put their bodies and lives on the line to fight racism. Actively rejecting the post-war idyll of suburban, Jewish, middle-class life, these women were deeply influenced by Jewish notions of morality and social justice. Many thus perceived the call of the movement as positively irresistible.
Representing a link between the sensibilities of the early civil rights era and contemporary efforts to move beyond the limits of identity politics, the book provides a resource for all who are interested in anti-racism, the civil rights movement, social justice, Jewish activism and radical women's traditions.

MySQL Server uses a pluggable storage engine architecture that enables storage engines to be loaded into and unloaded from a running MySQL server.
Plugging in a Storage Engine
Before a storage engine can be used, the storage engine plugin
shared library must be loaded into MySQL using the
INSTALL PLUGIN statement. For
example, if the
EXAMPLE engine plugin is
example and the shared library is named
ha_example.so, you load it with the
following statement:
mysql> INSTALL PLUGIN example SONAME 'ha_example.so';
To install a pluggable storage engine, the plugin file must be
located in the MySQL plugin directory, and the user issuing the
INSTALL PLUGIN statement must
INSERT privilege for the
mysql.plugin table.
The shared library must be located in the MySQL server plugin
directory, the location of which is given by the
plugin_dir system variable.
Unplugging a Storage Engine
To unplug a storage engine, use the
UNINSTALL PLUGIN statement:
mysql> UNINSTALL PLUGIN example;
If you unplug a storage engine that is needed by existing tables, those tables become inaccessible, but will still be present on disk (where applicable). Ensure that there are no tables using a storage engine before you unplug the storage engine.

Would be nice to add a section on pointers to how to develop storage engines, how they share their work with the server, what functionality they have to implement, etc.

To use the example plugin the correct INSTALL syntax is:
INSTALL PLUGIN example SONAME 'ha_example.so';
