The small ship, Wilderness Discoverer, is an expedition ship capable of nimble exploration through nature's most dramatic hideaways. The shallow draft and hull design allow easy access to Southeast Alaska's wildlife-rich shores and glacially-fed inlets and serve as ideal "launching pads" for an exciting array of daily adventure excursions. A fully-equipped fishing boat also travels with each small ship.
Life aboard the Wilderness Discoverer
The interior spaces offer contemporary colors and brushed metals that complement the wilderness outside and both the public and private spaces are loaded with special amenities.
Large flat screen TVs in the main salon are available to show personal videos captured during the excursions while everyone gathers together at night - spawning lively discussion on the most amazing encounter or the best "fish story." A large selection of micro-brews, wine and spirits are available for purchase at the bar while reliving the day's activities. Educational presentations from the onboard Naturalists are also broadcast on certain nights in the salon and into the cabins.
Evenings onboard ship offer opportunities to relax with a good book, rejuvenate with a massage or rejoice with your fellow adventurers. Each day offers a cocktail hour followed by a delicious and healthy meal, plus opportunities to learn from locals and onboard Expedition Leaders/Naturalists.
While comfortable public areas encourage engaging conversations and cozy relaxation, you may also choose to retreat to your cabin to watch a DVD or view videos taken during the day by your fellow shipmates as they are piped in from the central control station.
Each ship has a large resource library and hundreds of DVD titles.
Cabin Amenities
Each cabin offers private facilities and view windows. Each cabin also has an iPod docking station. The bathrooms feature a hair dryer and sundries such as shampoo, conditioner, soap and lotion.
The ships are equipped with flat screen TVs/DVDs in each cabin. All cabins are linked electronically so that videos shot during each day can be shared across the ship on designated channels.
Daily Excursions
Wilderness Discoverer provides most of the gear required for your explorations. Each ship is equipped with kayaks, drysuits, snorkeling gear, paddle boards, inflatable boats, trekking poles, reuseable water bottles and overnight camping gear.

Self made pasta dough
its the best pasta!!
serves 5 hungrrry pirrrates
-500g(~1lb) soft wheat flour (this isn't the standard flour)
-5 eggs (hardcore vegeterians can use a glass of mineral water, I don't know if it works with beer, but I don't think so....)
-add salt only after cooking!!
-Pour the flour and the eggs into a big bowl. Do not use eggs straight from th fridge! Yarr!
-Knead the mixtures with your hands, untill its completely homogenous
and consistent.
-If the mixture is too dry add some water, if it's too soft add some flour.
A good dough should never stick to your fingers
-Put the dough on a lightly floured table.
-Cut the dough in slices. (1cm each!)
Attention:The dough dries fast. if the dough dry, you have to cook the
pasta longer.
-Now take one of the slices and a rolling pin and roll on the dough untill it's 2mm (0,06inch.....) thin
Real Pirrrates use pasta machines, this is much easier!
With a pasta machine you can make lasagne, fettucini and spaghetti.
Farfalle: ("butterfly pasta")
-Cut the dough in rectangles (~one by two inches)
-Squeeze it together in the middle of the long side to give it the shape of a butterfly. glue it with water when nececarry!
-Cook the pasta for 3-5 minutes. The water has to boil!!
How long it has to cook depends on the thickness of the dough.
-cut the pasta into bigger rectangles and fill them with some filling (I have a good recipe somewhere)
-Cook them ~5 minutes.
Please let me know if you liked these pasta!

Submission TurboHercules Takes on IBM->
AlexGr writes: This article on MainframeZone by Phil Smith is the best summary I've seen on alternatives to the IBM mainframe over the years. He gives an unbiased summary of the TurboHercules situation and then concludes: "In this case, while IBM probably has the legal right to stop TurboHercules (at least in the U.S.), it seems foolish to do so in the long term for the continued success of System z."

Sandy relief: How you can help now
WASHINGTON - The massive storm that started out as Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast and morphed into a huge and problematic system, putting more than 7.3 million homes and businesses in the dark and causing at least 16 deaths.
Thousands of people across the country sought Red Cross shelters beginning Sunday and through Monday night.
The Red Cross has deployed more than 1,300 disaster workers to the region from all over the country to help those affected by the storm. As many as 160 emergency vehicles are ready to respond when it is safe to do so, and more than 230,000 ready-to-eat meals have been sent into the area.
"Sandy is a large and dangerous storm, and will affect large parts of the eastern part of the country for the next few days, said Charley Shimanski, senior vice president of Disaster Services for the Red Cross. "We urge people to remain in a safe place until it passes, and to listen to instructions from local officials."
To find a Red Cross shelter, people can download the Red Cross Hurricane app, visit the Red Cross web site , call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767.)"
People can also register on the Red Cross Safe and Well website, a secure and easy-to-use online tool that helps families connect during emergencies. To register, visit www.redcross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767). This site also connects with the Twitter and Facebook accounts of users.
Meanwhile, nearly 100 Red Cross blood drives have already been canceled due to the storm, and there could be more as the week goes on. This means a loss of as many as 3,200 blood and platelet products. If anyone is eligible, especially in places not affected by the storm, they are asked to please schedule a blood donation now.
"Patients will still need blood despite the weather," said Dr. Richard Benjamin, chief medical officer of the Red Cross. "To ensure a sufficient national blood supply is available for those in need, both during and after the storm passes, it is critical that those in unaffected areas make an appointment to donate blood as soon as possible."
To schedule a blood donation or get more information about giving blood, people can visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). To give blood, someone must be at least 17 years of age, meet weight and height requirements and be in general good health. Donors should bring their Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID with them. Some states allow 16-year-olds to give with parental consent.
"This will be a large, costly relief response and the Red Cross needs help now," Shimanski said. "People can help by making a donation to support American Red Cross Disaster Relief online, by text or by phone."
Financial donations help the Red Cross provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance to those affected by disasters like Hurricane Sandy. To donate, people can visit www.redcross.org , call 1-800-RED-CROSS, or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Contributions may also be sent to someone's local Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.
More than 235,000 people have downloaded the free Red Cross Hurricane App Friday when Sandy began approaching, making it one of the most popular free apps. The app gives up-to-date weather alerts, information on open Red Cross shelters, a toolkit with a flashlight, strobe light and alarm and a one-touch "I'm Safe" button that lets someone use social media outlets to let family and friends know they are okay.
People have been using the app to find shelters, to set up locations for the app to monitor, to make a disaster plan, and learn what steps they can take to stay safe. The app is available in Spanish just by changing the smart phone setting to Spanish before downloading.
The First Aid app puts expert advice for everyday emergencies in a person's hand. Both can be found in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android by searching for American Red Cross.

|Carbon County residents participate in a canoe trip down the Green River on a day long Carbon County Recreation trip.
After being in existence for over 20 years in the county, Carbon County Recreation is a well known cooperative effort that gains funding from Carbon County, local cities and the Carbon School District.
Director Steve Christiansen has been with the program for over 15 years. He has worked to expand the recreation opportunities available to the community during those years.
Many members of the community are aware of some of the programs that CCR runs. CCR has youth programs that include sport and cheerleading camps, tennis lessons and day camp, and adult programs with sport leagues and community first aid and CPR classes.
In addition to those programs CCR has an ever expanding outdoors program available to the community. The outdoor program has been in existence for about 12 years, and only a few activities were offered in the early years of the program. Those activities included rappelling classes and cross country skiing classes to name a few.
Over the years several grants were awarded that helped the program buy outdoor equipment to work with the youth-at-risk programs. Some items included white water rafts and mountain bikes. For several years CCR assisted in sponsoring the San Rafael Mountain Bike Festival. The Emery County Biking Group MECCA has taken over that event.
Six years ago the outdoor program really began to take off with the acquisition of rafts and kayaks. Over 300 individuals have participated in the kayaking program over the last 5 years, which consists of training in the Desert Wave Pool where they learn how to roll the kayak. There is also training on the Green River daily where they learn the fundamentals of running the river.
Safety and good fundamental techniques are an emphasis in this program. Other river programs include the family river workshop, which will teach the entire family the fundamentals of river running.
There is also a river workshop for youth ages 12 and up. There is also a river rescue work shop and an intro to white water canoeing.
If you just want to take a flat water canoe trip, CCR has many guided three day Labyrinth Canyon trips to choose from. Prices for these trips include everything from equipment and transportation to meals and entertaining river guides to help you safely down the river.
For those who already have good river skills and just need the equipment, CCR can rent what is needed to do a trip. There are eight new canoes this year, plenty of rafts and kayaks to go around.
CCR can also provide dry bags, life jackets and many other essentials to make a river trip successful. This is a great option for those who have out-of-town guests that may not be able to bring their own gear. The equipment can be rented for a quick day long trip to a full blown Grand Canyon trip.
The rock climbing and rappelling programs have expanded since their humble beginnings. CCR has a rock climbing wall that can be taken to almost any site in the community. It is available for rent and it travels to local schools and community events. The climbing program has gear to rent as well. The only equipment that CCR does not rent is climbing rope.
The rental program at CCR is one of the most extensive in the state. Not only does it have river and climbing gear, but rents tents, sleeping bags and back packs.
For those whose idea of an outdoor experience is less rugged, then look into the guided car tours that CCR offers. There are guided trips into Nine Mile Canyon and the San Rafael Swell. Nothing could be easier than to sit back and let CCR take you on a grand excursion to see sites that are unique to our area.
A new trip has been added this year and CCR is one of the few organizations able to offer trips into Range Creek. The scheduled trips have been filled up, but there is a waiting list for those who are interested. CCR is hoping to be able to expand trips into Range Creek before the summer is out.
The summer brochure for CCR activities and community events is out. For those who are interested, a copy can be obtained at many locations in the community or stop into the Carbon County Recreation office to get a copy. The flier lists many prices and activities, but for those who don't see what they're looking for, just ask.

Ruth Richards, Psychology
Ruth RichardsPsychology Faculty
One of the leading researchers on creativity in daily life, Dr. Ruth Richards adores teaching at Saybrook. "Every student I've met has come for a very good reason: not just to get a higher degree and more money but because they have great ideas, and they're committed."
It's the academic home Dr. Richards has been looking for her whole life. She had a great experience at UC Berkeley, where she got her Ph.D., and also deeply respects Harvard " where she earned her M.D. and serves as a part-time faculty member. But it's Saybrook, she said, that truly lets students and teachers alike embrace the creativity she researches.
"I went from being a sort of fringy person in my interests at Harvard to a conservative at Saybrook - it's been great," she said. "A very well known colleague in psychology who's a senior endowed chair came to the Saybrook table at the American Psychological Association recently, and he virtually had tears in his eyes when he realized how open we were and what we could discuss."
The ideal of free and open academic inquiry changed Dr. Richards' life. She was studying to be a high school teacher, getting a degree in physics (because she loved science) and art because like so many people, I thought 'well, art is where you get to be creative.'"
But a discussion about diagnostic tests in a required psychology class made her realize: it was possible to come up with profoundly creative ways to answer even standardized questions. The creativity, even in such a mundane situation, was real and could be studied.
"I wasn't planning to get a Ph.D.," she said, laughing, "but when I realized you could study creativity I wanted to do that."
Her medical degree followed her Ph.D., as did a series of papers, presentations, and books, the most recent of which, "Everyday Creativity," has achieved both scholarly and popular acclaim, ranking in the top 10 Amazon books on "creativity."
But she wants to emphasize that she doesn't deserve much of the credit she's received as a pioneer in the field. "This is not really new, and wasn't when I got it. People like (Saybrook Founder) Abraham Maslow had written about it. Humanistic psychologists had been writing about it before and it's really eye-opening. "
As faculty in Saybrook's Creativity Studies program, Dr. Richards brings that cannon of Humanistic Psychology to her students while encouraging them to write the next chapter. "At Saybrook students can pursue most any question " if it's done with rigor and critical thinking. We need that in this crazy world."
It's an opportunity she had to forge for herself as a student, and she's determined to help her students make the most of it.
"For me, a lot of being at Saybrook and doing this work is about honoring our greater potential," she said. "We try to keep Saybrook students connected even while they're blazing their own path. We try to get people to join APA, to attend conferences. We help students publish, we help them get jobs. If you're really going to do something new it does take extra work and time: but at Saybrook we have a very good support system. I enjoy being at a place like that."

The Val-d'Or Foreurs let a 3-2 lead slip away in the 3rd period as they fell in overtime 4-3 to the Baie-Comeau Drakkar as the series is now tied at 2-2. Each team having won a game on the other's rink making this series a true tossup.
Ryan Graves (2013 4th) had a 2 assist game along with a +2 for his Foreurs but it wasn't enough to prevent another home playoff loss. Graves had a primary and a secondary assist on the Foreur's 1st and 2nd goals respectively.
For Graves the assists were his 4th and 5th of the playoffs which are career highs for the young defenseman. Graves and his teammates will look to the road winning streak alive for at least one more game Friday night when game 5 is played in Baie-Comeau on Friday evening.

The Armed Forces Graves Registration Record shows this Civil War Veteran was inducted into the Armed Forces October 5, 1861 in New York, and discharged April 1865. He held the rank of Captain at the time of his discharge. He served with Company K of the 85th New York Infantry. His birthplace is shown as Ohio but no date of birth is given. He died December 29, 1910, and is buried in the Russell Cemetery. His grave is marked with a private stone and a bronze marker. (Note: his obituary gives his birthplace as New York.)
Private Robert G. Turbot, Company H, 143rd Regiment of Ohio Infantry. He enlisted May 13, 1864. The picture was taken at Washington, D.C., June 14, 1864, in his Civil War uniform.
His obituary (from an unidentified newspaper) follows.
"Robert Gamel Turbot was born in Coshocton County, Ohio, July 9, 1843, and died at his home in Russell, Iowa, Wednesday, February 7, 1923, at the age of 79 years, 6 months and 28 days. He was the fourth child f Peter and Margaret Turbot, having four brothers and four sisters.
"He enlisted as a Union soldier in the Civil War in the year of 1864 in Company H, 143rd Ohio Infantry and served until the close of the war.
"Soon after the war he moved with his parents from Ohio to Washington County, Iowa. Mr. Turbot was united in marriage to Mary McLaughlin, April 20, 1875. To this union four children were born--Mrs. Lulu Randa of Hancock, Minn., Cleo, Mrs. Margaret Tabler and Hilton of Russell.
" In 1807 the family moved from Washington county to Weldon, Iowa, living there until 1913 when they came to their present home in Russell.
"Besides the wife, four children and four grandsons, two sisters, Mrs. J. L. Shaw, of Reo Heights, Soutoh Dakota, and Margaret and two brothers, John and Marquis, of Ainsworth, Iowa,survive him.
"When a young man Mr. Turbot united with the United Presbyterian church near Washington, Iowa, and was a member of the Presbyterian church at Rusell at the time of his death.
"He had been quite feeble for the past few months but was able to be around until a few weeks ago when he was taken seriously ill. The members of his family were all with him and cared for him during his last illness. He was a kind and loving husband and father and never seemed happier than when his family were all with him.
"The funeral services at the Russell Presbyterian church, Friday, February 9, at 2 o'clock, were conducted by his pastor, Rev. Bock, assisted by Rev. Beals, and was attended by a large company of friends. The body was laid to rest in the Russell cemetery. The American Legion and G.A.R.'s had charge of the services."
In grandson Don Turbot's oral history interview he states that Robert married Mary Hannah McLaughlin who was born on August 1, 1856, in Liken Co., Ohio.

Analyzing Plus/Minus
As we continue to breakdown the pros and cons of metrics in basketball, one number that I always gave a ton of respect to Is plus minus. When a player is on the floor is his team allowing more points than they score and vice versa. It allows for coaches to understand combinations and also allows even more for great websites to figure them for you. Keep in mind that when analyzing the analyzing, those teams who do vs. those who don't have been better on the floor.
For those who don't know, I'm an eye test guy combined with supporting numbers. I've helped division 1 programs and spend a ton of time evaluating talent. It's a passion. I understand the need for metrics, but I believe they can be very misleading.
Plus/minus also made so much sense that most all NBA box scores online feature it today. Think about that. An addition to a tradition. Old school ewspaper people must have been forced to the emergency room due to hypertension.
But, like any metric, there can be flaws. For example, the Knicks made basically every single shot last night. That happens in the NBA. One night a team goes nuts and another team can't hang. Al Jefferson killed the Knicks for 36 points inside and snagged 12 boards.
He was -33 for the game.
In 30 minutes, the metrically flawed Carmelo Anthony was +30.
Before the trade, the weak rebounding (in fan's minds) combination of Felton, Fields, Gallo, Chandler and Stoudemire (at the FIVE!!) led the Knicks in +/- at a +59 for over 500 combined minutes together. Yet they clearly couldn't compete with Miami or Orlando when both teams were completely healthy.
In an amazingly descriptive post, Dave Johns goes further: (finger point to Mike Pina at the awesome Buckets over Broadway)
The Dallas Mavericks—with their science-loving owner, Mark Cuban—were early adopters of adjusted plus-minus. But they made some crucial player personnel errors, especially in devising playoff lineups, because they didn't fully appreciate the noisiness of the data, according to one NBA stats analyst who requested anonymity so that he could speak candidly about another team. Still, many NBA stats experts do use versions of adjusted plus-minus as part of their player evaluation system. Some front offices also look at Player Efficiency Rating to get a basic sense of offensive talent. Several NBA statisticians told me that they did not know of any franchise that relies on Wins Produced.
Johns 'piece is far more about the Carmelo (aka star) effect in defense of efficiency pointing out that at last week's Calculator Conference revealed that players don't really overshoot and, like I've been saying, you'd rather a star take a bad shot than give up the ball and result in a lower percentage shot or turnover. Melo shooting can result in a Jared Jeffries (or STAT, or Turiaf, or Fields) tip back and thus another possession. If a team shoots near 50% then that would statistically result in a make.
If anyone questionably overshoots with low percentage shots it's Amar'e who is trying to extend his game and range. If he can consistently bang down mid range shots, which we noticed all season before the trade, whether he is making more now with Melo or not, then the Knicks become that much more dangerous in the half court game and Amar'e becomes that much more likely, over time, to have his knees hold up. The eye test will tell you that Karl Malone turned into soley a pick and pop player after the age of 30 with SOME explosion,but was not the dunking machine he was in his 20s.
All in all, plus minus is a key stat and, to me, one that helps coaches shuffle and get set on a rotation. In defense (sorry) of Mike D'Antoni, he hasn't really had the time to judge a rotation because of all the roster moves. When the Knicks settle in, they will be a handful come playoff time if the combinations and matchups set up for them.
That takes time.

By Robert L Warren East Carbon
On Friday, July 6, 2012, without any fanfare or publicity, President Barack Obama signed an executive order titled Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions, giving him and federal government control of all forms of communication under any circumstance.
Basically, the executive order gives the president and Department of Homeland Security the authorization to take over and control any and all lines of communications any time they wish.
I can't help but see the growing evidence over this presidency to indicate that Barack Obama has almost everything he needs in place now allowing him to declare martial law and suspend the American way of life. He now has the power to control all forms of communication and detain anyone he wants. In addition he has purposely driven the economy and job market to the brink of collapse for this same purpose.
As much as I hate to admit it, I honestly believe that if Obama gets re-elected, he will finalize the economic collapse of America and in so doing, will declare martial law taking control of all communications. His brown shirt police will arrest and detain anyone who opposes him. In all likelihood, he will disband Congress, the Supreme Court and stop all elections. Ultimately, he

Josie Luke, an ETV reporter and camerawoman, sets up a camera at the studio on Tuesday.
Channel 10, a channel available through Emery Telcom cable, is expanding its coverage of events in Carbon and Emery Counties and is creating a lineup of shows that covers a wide range activities, happenings and people in the area.
The channel was started up in Aug. 2008 and each year they have continued to add more programs to the channel. With the focus on local events, people and schools, the channel has allowed Emery Telcom to show events such as high school football games of Carbon High and Emery High. This year the channel has moved towards showing live games, complete with commentators and instant replays.
Brock Johansen, CEO of Emery Telcom, said they are looking to show both home and away games on the channel and looking to continue adding more games from the area to cover.
"One of our goals is to try and show all of the events that are going on in the area," said Johansen. "It's of the utmost importance for us because it is something that helps bring the community closer together."
Showing both home and away games and we're looking to continue adding more games to cover. Parents love to see their kids on the television, but it's also helpful for people who are not able to attend an event, Johansen said.
"Some people have said they weren't able to get out to the events and being able to watch it on channel 10 was a real help," he said.
Johansen said that Emery Telcom is still looking into the possibility of working more with USU-CEU covering more of their sporting events.
A television studio where shows and interviews are taped is located at Emery Telcom's office at 107 E. 100 N. The studio has a number of cameras and lighting fixtures to make everything look as crisp and professional as possible. Chairs are set up in the corner where interviews are conducted and a green screen is also available for use.
They have done segments on recreation activities, hosted a sports talk show where they interview local coaches and covered city events including local concerts. A local cooking show is also available where local people can come in and share their recipes
"We're always looking for things to cover in the community," Johansen said.
Currently there are five to six people who are out recording events in the community, Johansen said. They have covered sporting events at USU-CEU, Carbon High, Emery High and Green River.
Price City councilwoman Jeanne McEvoy said she was pleased to see another avenue available for the community in promoting events and the city of Price.
"This channel is an awesome way for us to move away from traditional media outlets," McEvoy said. "It will help us advertise city events in another form on the channel reducing the need for things like posters and fliers."

Mighty New Orleans based sludgesters, DOWN will release their new EP 'Down IV - Part Two' on 12th May through Roadrunner Records. Tracked at the infamous Nodferatu's Lair - iconic vocalist Philip H. Anselmo's home studio - and produced by Michael Thompson, Anselmo and DOWN, the new EP is the eagerly awaited sequel to 'Down IV - Part 1: The Purple EP'.
To support the upcoming release, DOWN hit the US tarmac with Black Label Society this Spring and will grace UK shores exclusively this summer as Friday night headliners for the rapidly-growing metal festival BLOODSTOCK on 8th August. Tickets are available from Bloodstock.
On the new EP, the boys once again deliver passionate and powerful heavy music, laced with their signature gargantuan riffs and swamp blues leads. When the band retreated to 'Nodferatu's Lair' at Anselmo's Lousiana home in the fall of 2013, things had changed somewhat. For the first time in the band's storied career, Kirk Windstein wouldn't be handling guitar duties alongside fellow axeman, Pepper Keenan. Instead, longtime 'family' member, stage manager, and Honky guitarist Bobby Landgraf joined the ranks, alongside Keenan, Anselmo, drummer Jimmy Bower and bassist Pat Bruders.
"He was immediately at home," affirms Anselmo. "Bobby had always been that guy in case of anything. Knowing his personality, he really locked in with what we do and took it to heart. He made himself belong. Honestly, the first day he came down he contributed a very strong riff to a key song. There's that Southern element, which is imperative. I also catch a real old heavy metal vibe from this record. I can't stress this enough. He took it all on, and he did a fucking awesome job."
"It was a big deal for me," beams Landgraf. "I drove ten hours up from Texas that first day, cracked a beer, and plugged in. We jumped right into the room, and I played this part. They all smiled. That was the moment for me. I'm a longtime fan, and I knew we were friends, but being a part of the writing and working towards something together was just incredible. As a guitar player, one of my goals was to be in a group like this. I want to make everyone proud."
Making good on Down's promise of a series of EPs, the second installment sees a pronounced progression among the individuals themselves as well.
For the future, Down's sights are set on endless touring. Landgraf made his formal stage debut when the band headlined Anselmo's first annual 'Housecore Horror Film Festival' in front of a packed crowd of the faithful in October 2013. Now, it's just about bringing that inimitable sound everywhere possible.
Come see for yourself at Bloodstock Festival in August....

1. Steeple
2. We Knew Him Well
3. Hogshead/Dogshead
4. Conjure
5. Sufferer's Years

With elevated decking affording fantastic views of the Gulf coast, Barasti Bar is a top-notch outdoor venue that pulls in massive crowds once the sizzling temperatures drop.
Barasti is an old favourite with fishermen, its relaxed atmosphere welcoming them as much as any designer-clad model type. Sports fans will also be able to keep pace with the latest big games on the big screen. The scratch band plays just about anything, lending the place a wonderfully mellow air.
Topping the chart for Best Bar in the 2008 'Best in Dubai' awards, the simple menu and decent food at Barasti meant it also won Time Out's 'Best Bar Food 2008' award. A magnet for every nationality, particularly students. It's a great way to start the night, especially with their happy hour promotions.

(ii) a mortgage given to refinance an existing mortgage insured under section 1743 of this title and which does not exceed the original principal amount and unexpired term of such existing mortgage: Provided further, That no mortgage shall be insured under section 1743 of this title unless the mortgagor certifies under oath that in selecting tenants for the property covered by the mortgage he will not discriminate against any family by reason of the fact that there are children in the family, and that he will not sell the property while the insurance is in effect unless the purchaser so certifies, such certifications to be filed with the Secretary; and violation of any such certification shall be a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not to exceed $500: And provided further, That the Secretary shall, in his discretion, have power to require the availability for rental purposes of properties covered by mortgages insured under this subchapter, in such instances and for such periods of time as he may prescribe.
Notwithstanding the first proviso of this subsection, mortgages may be insured under sections 1744 and 1746 of this title if the aggregate amounts of principal obligations of mortgages insured under said sections plus the aggregate amount of principal obligations of mortgages insured under section 1745 of this title do not exceed the limitation contained in said section 1745 upon the aggregate amount of principal obligations of mortgages insured pursuant to said section.
Notwithstanding the second proviso of this subsection, mortgages otherwise eligible for insurance under section 1743 of this title may be hereafter insured thereunder if the application for such insurance was received by the Department of Housing and Urban Development on or before March 1, 1950, and for such purpose the aggregate amount of principal obligations authorized to be insured under section 1743 of this title is increased by not to exceed $500,000,000.
(b) Eligibility requirements
To be eligible for insurance under this section a mortgage shall—
(1) have been made to, and be held by, a mortgagee approved by the Secretary as responsible and able to service the mortgage properly;
(2) involve a principal obligation (including such initial service charges, appraisal, inspection, and other fees as the Secretary shall approve) in an amount not to exceed 90 per centum of the Secretary's estimate of the value (as of the date the mortgage is accepted for insurance), except that as to applications received by the Secretary on or before March 31, 1948, the mortgage may involve a principal obligation in an amount not to exceed 90 per centum of the Secretary's estimate of the necessary current cost (including the land and such initial service charges and such appraisal, inspection, and other fees as the Secretary shall approve); of a property, urban, suburban, or rural, upon which there is located a dwelling designed principally for residential use for not more than four families in the aggregate, which is approved for mortgage insurance prior to the beginning of construction. The principal obligation of such mortgage shall in no event, however, exceed—
(D) $12,000 if such dwelling is designed for a four-family residence:
Provided, That the Secretary may, if he finds that at any time or in any particular geographical area it is not feasible, within such limitations of maximum mortgage amounts, to construct dwellings without sacrifice of sound standards of construction, design, or livability, prescribe by regulation or otherwise higher maximum mortgage amounts not to exceed—
(3) have a maturity satisfactory to the Secretary but not to exceed twenty-five years from the date of the insurance of the mortgage;
(5) bear interest (exclusive of premium charges for insurance) at not to exceed 4 per centum per annum on the amount of the principal obligation outstanding at any time;
(6) provide, in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary, for the application of the mortgagor's periodic payments (exclusive of the amount allocated to interest and to the premium charge which is required for mortgage insurance as herein provided) to amortization of the principal of the mortgage; and
(c) Premium charges; payments; acceptance for insurance; preferences; adjustments and refunds
The Secretary is authorized to fix a premium charge for the insurance of mortgages under this subchapter but in the case of any mortgage such charge shall not be less than an amount equivalent to one-half of 1 per centum per annum nor more than an amount equivalent to 11/2 per centum per annum of the amount of the principal obligation of the mortgage outstanding at any time, without taking into account delinquent payments or prepayments. Such premium charges shall be payable by the mortgagee, either in cash, or in debentures issued by the Secretary under this subchapter at par plus accrued interest, in such manner as may be prescribed by the Secretary: Provided, That the Secretary may require the payment of one or more such premium charges at the time the mortgage is insured, at such discount rate as he may prescribe not in excess of the interest rate specified in the mortgage. If the Secretary finds, upon the presentation of a mortgage for insurance and the tender of the initial premium charge and such other charges as the Secretary may require, that the mortgage complies with the provisions of this subchapter, such mortgage may be accepted for insurance by endorsement or otherwise as the Secretary may prescribe; but no mortgage shall be accepted for insurance under this subchapter unless the Secretary finds that the project with respect to which the mortgage is executed is an acceptable risk in view of the shortage of housing referred to in this section. In the event that the principal obligation of any mortgage accepted for insurance under this subchapter is paid in full prior to the maturity date, the Secretary is further authorized in his discretion to require the payment by the mortgagee of an adjusted premium charge in such amount as the Secretary determines to be equitable, but not in excess of the aggregate amount of the premium charges that the mortgagee would otherwise have been required to pay if the mortgage had continued to be insured under this subchapter until such maturity date; and in the event that the principal obligation is paid in full as herein set forth, the Secretary is authorized to refund to the mortgagee for the account of the mortgagor all, or such portion as he shall determine to be equitable, of the current unearned premium charges theretofore paid. The Secretary shall prescribe such procedures as in his judgment are necessary to secure to veterans of World War II, and their immediate families, and to hardship cases as defined by the Secretary, preference or priority of opportunity to purchase or rent properties covered by mortgages insured under this subchapter.
(d) Conclusiveness of insurance contract as to eligibility
Any contract of insurance heretofore or hereafter executed by the Secretary under this subchapter shall be conclusive evidence of the eligibility of the mortgage for insurance, and the validity of any contract of insurance so executed shall be incontestable in the hands of an approved mortgagee from the date of the execution of such contract, except for fraud or misrepresentation on the part of such approved mortgagee.

POTSDAM - A meeting with the parents of a student at Lawrence Avenue Elementary School in Potsdam ended with the district going into a lockout, following an allegedly threatening statement made by the boyfriend of the students mother.
Lawrence Avenue Elementary School Principal Larry B. Jenne, in as statement he provided police, said he could tell that Toby J. LaBier, 37, of Potsdam was irritated.
Toby LaBier was upset about the new Common Core learning standards and the teacher asking Brittany (the girls mother Brittany Lozano) to bring a snack that is peanut free due to a food allergy student in the classroom, Mr. Jenne said.
Toby LaBier was obviously upset by the course the conversation was taking and commented, You wonder why people come into school and shoot things up.
Mr. Jenne noted the comment was made as Mr. LaBier was seated and given in a matter-of-factly tone.
Mr. Jenne then recalled Ms. Lazanos reaction to the statement, I knew I should not have brought you with me.
Mr. Jenne said the statement immediately made him feel uncomfortable and he told LaBier that the statement was inappropriate.
He had been uncooperative for the majority of the interview, but I made it clear that the comment crossed the line. I informed Toby I would be notifying the superintendent, Mr. Jenne recalled. Toby then said, The police can find me in the parking lot in a grey car.
At that point, Mr. Jenne said LaBier left the room and slammed the door on his way out.
I spoke with Brittany Lazano after he left and she apologized for his comment, assuring me that he would never do anything. I remained uneasy, not knowing Mr. LaBier or having any idea what he is or isnt capable of, he said.
After contacting Superintendent Patrick H. Brady, Mr. Jenne said he was advised to contact the village police.
Nearly an hour after calling the police, Mr. Jenne said he followed up with them, and after being told that they were still attempting to locate LaBier, he decided to implement a lock-out in his building, a procedure that was also followed in the middle and high schools.
Mr. Brady praised Mr. Jenne for his actions and the way he responded to the situation.
Under the circumstances, the building principal acted very appropriately, he said. Mr. Jenne did an excellent job and what he was trained to do.
Mr. Brady explained that with the district in lock-out mode, classes and activity in each of the buildings continued as normal, with the exception of visitors not being allowed into the building and students not being to leave.
In this case there was not a perpetrator in the building, Mr. Brady said, adding the lock-out lasted for roughly 45 minutes and was ended after police informed the district that LaBier had been arrested.
LaBier was charged with one count of second-degree criminal nuisance and released on his own recognizance. An order of protection barring LaBier from going to either the middle school or elementary school (the two buildings are connected) was issued. LaBier was also ordered to stay away from Mr. Jenne and surrender any guns he owns to the sheriffs department by noon today.
While an announcement was made that the school was in lockout mode, Mr. Brady said students were not made aware of specifically what had happened. An email message, as well as a text message, was sent to parents who subscribe to the districts emergency contact service.
In this particularly time we find ourselves in, people need to understand we take every threat seriously, Mr. Brady said. People need to be careful what they say.

If you're not a baseball fan, stop here. It's time to talk baseball.
The All-Star break isn't just a respite for players. The short vacation gives baseball fans a few days off to think about the second half of the pennant race. That's what we fans do. Can't play so we sit around mulling schedules and statistics while the grass turns brown in our front yard.
In New England, when you mention pennant race, that can only mean one thing – Red Sox vs. the Yankees, with a little dose of the Tampa Bay Rays thrown in.
Boston holds a one-game lead over New York at the break. Tampa sits six games back in third place. The wild-card berth figures to come from East. Right now, the Yankees have six fewer losses than the next wild-card contender, which happens to be the Rays. If you give the Central division title to Detroit and the West to Texas, that leaves just the Angels (seven back of NY in the loss column) and Cleveland (also seven back) as wild-card hopefuls.
Tampa is in the middle of a 10-game stretch against the Yankees and Red Sox that is pivotal to its chances of staying close to its two very rich rivals. Tampa lost two of three in New York over the weekend. It hosts Boston for three games beginning Friday night and then entertains the Yankees for four games next Monday through Thursday.
The Rays figure to have their top pitchers lined up for Boston after getting three days off this week. That means Boston will see David Price, James Shields and Jeremy Hellickson. Boston will still be missing injured Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz, who is almost ready to do a rehab in the high minors. No. 3 starter Josh Beckett (8-3, 2.27 ERA) has merely been among the best in baseball since mid-April.
The Yankees visit Toronto for four games beginning on Thursday, then head to Tampa for four more. New York has played six fewer road games than Boston. It faces a difficult second-half schedule filled with road games and four makeup contests that take away valuable off-days in August and September.
Tampa has played only 42 home games so far this season, winning just half of them. The Rays are 28-20 on the road. Go figure.
Once Tampa is done fooling around with the Red Sox and Yankees, we fans will be primed for the annual July 31 trade deadline follies, in which rival general managers Theo Epstein and Brian Cashman kick the tires and see if they need to make any moves. Which begs the question: Does Boston really need any help? The Red Sox have been winning games at nearly a .700 pace since losing 10 of their first 12 games to start the season. If it's not broke, why fix it?
Boston's offense, which had been dormant in April, now leads the major leagues in all the important categories – runs scored, slugging percentage, OPS, OBP. Here's a breakdown between Boston and New York on offense. Bear in mind, New York will be missing slugger Alex Rodriguez for the next 4-6 weeks due to knee surgery. Also, Boston has played two more games than New York, so add about 10 runs to the Yankees' total.
482 Runs 455
Pitching? Boston's starters have dominated New York's hitters in the first nine games of the season series. Beckett is 3-0 against the Yankees. Lester is 2-0 and Buchholz 2-1. CC Sabathia is 0-3 against Boston so far (13-1 against everyone else).
Of course, health issues always come into play with pitchers. Lester pulled a muscle in his back during his last start but should be ready in 10 days. Buchholz has missed nearly one month with lower back issues. That bears watching. Beckett came out of his last start in the fifth inning with a tender hamstring. John Lackey pitches with a sore elbow. Tim Wakefield turns 45 on August 2. Dice-K underwent Tommy John surgery and won't be back until the middle of next season, if then.
So what has Boston done to fill in the holes? The Red Sox promoted lefty Andrew Miller to fill in for Buchholz and Miller is 3-0 in four starts, despite a WHIP of 1.59. He should run out of gas just as Buchholz comes off the D.L. Wakefield took over for Dice-K and is 5-3 in 11 starts.
Alfredo Aceves, a guy the Yankees should never have given up on, is 4-1 with Boston, serving as the same versatile spot starter/long reliever who went 10-1 for New York in 2009. You can't stress how much of an impact Aceves may have on this pennant race as the season heads to a conclusion.
The Yankees' pitching revolves around Sabathia. CC is nine games over .500 and the rest of the staff is nine games over. New York's most effective starter behind CC is 38-year-old Bartolo Colon, who is 6-4. AJ Burnett has pitched better than his record (8-7) but can't be trusted with a lead. Rookie Ivan Nova went 8-4 before heading back to Scranton so that Phil Hughes could begin his comeback from a dead arm. Freddy Garcia fooled just about everyone except Boston in the first half.
Hughes is the key to New York's chances of catching Boston. If he is mediocre, the Yankees will struggle to capture the wild card.
Speaking of key players, what happens if Carl Crawford returns to his old form for Boston in the second half? The league's best offense suddenly becomes even better. Of course, Crawford has big shoes to fill. Replacement Josh Reddick is hitting .393 with an OPS of 1.102 in 61 ABs. That's the same Josh Reddick who is hitting .230 in 191 ABs with Pawtucket this season.
The key thing to remember is few of us fans, and most baseball analysts, understand how a pennant race is won. The players know. They look up and down the dugout, and out in the bullpen, and realize each one of them is integral to a team's success. One guy can lose a game. It usually takes 15 players to win one.
Boston has followed that formula again this season, getting help from its bench and the players down in Pawtucket. The Yankees were bailed out by aging veterans Colon and Garcia in the first half of the season. Can they be counted on as the innings pile up and the weather gets even hotter?
It's easy to say the Yankees are the older team and will break down. The logical pick here is Boston, which may have not even shifted into high gear yet this season. Let's see how it all plays out. As fans, we enjoy the luxury of watching the games on television, night after night, day after day, until the weather begins to cool in late September.
If you're a baseball fan, there's nothing better than having a team to follow in the pennant race. And here in New England, that seems to happen every summer.
