On this date 93 years ago, the United States formally entered World War I. Shortly after taking office for his second term as President, Woodrow Wilson (who had campaigned on the promise of "keeping America out of the European war") urged Congress to declare war on Germany. The Senate did so on April 4; the House followed two days later.
The conflict became known as "the war to make the world safe for democracy." This clever Madison Avenue slogan was a total ruse, of course. Instead, the war was the bloodiest conflict that had ever been fought up 'till then. It destroyed almost every government in Europe. It led to the murderous rule of Stalin in Russia and Hitler in Germany.
And it ushered in an era of Big Government from which the world is still suffering.

HR Wants In
Power centers are shifting! Procurement departments are playing a bigger and bigger role in supplier selection, increasingly taking over the overall responsibility for a corporation's contingent workforce program. But human resource whiz kids don't think this is a good way to go. A common HR refrain: Managing people is HR's job. The idea of HR only knowing about the full time equivalent, when 40 percent of the workforce are contingents is ridiculous. How can they possibly do the job senior management expects of them if they only know about 60 percent of the workforce? They have a point. So what's HR's answer to the problem? Have more human resource professionals trained to handle contracts. If HR can hire for full time, it's not that difficult to acquire temporary workers. Move over procurement professionals!

A charity called the Pink Kick-Starter Project has begun to use Microsoft Tag as part of their campaign to reach out and provide essential information to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients.
The Pink Kick-Starter Project understands that in the initial moments of this life-changing diagnosis, a flood of information is thrown at breast cancer patients. The goal of the project is to provide Pink Kick-Starter kits to women who want help making sense of all the information as they begin treatment, with music, an organizer, and a patient resource guide to keep them organized, focused, and empowered.
This is where Tag comes in handy. The mobile barcode technology has been an essential tool in getting the word out about the Pink Kick-Starter Project. Tags are displayed in a number of highly visible mediums including inserts for trade shows, fundraising events, on the back of CDs, as well as in hospitals and area treatment centers for women to have easy access to further information about the Pink Kick-Starter kits and the charity that creates them. Scanning the Tag plays a video that provides more info about the project.
Patients are bombarded with pamphlets and fliers, but Tag gives the breast cancer community a green, unique, and individualized way to connect that is more personal. With the help of Tag, the Pink Kick-Starter Project helps women to "pack wisely…even for unknown territory."
What do you think of the Pink Kick-Starter Project using Tag? Are there more ideas they could use to get the word out? Let us know in the comments below or on Tag's Facebook or Twitter pages.

MORRISTOWN - As far as the NAC West Division Boys Soccer race was concerned, on Wednesday, Morristown hosted Lisbon in a staying alive game for both teams in their chase of Harrisville.
Lisbon (9-1-1 19 points) came away with 1-0 victory on the strength of a second half by Koby Jordan, reversed their only loss in division play and closed within two points of 10-0-1 Harrisville.
And the Knights are headed to Edwards-Knox on Friday for another must win according to Lisbon Coach Bill Reed.
We played a lot of very good soccer today. But we just didnt finish well, said Reed after the Knights fashioned a 15-8 shots on goal advantage and a 6-2 edge in corner kicks.
It was a big win. But we have to win at Edwards-Knox on Friday, which is always a tough game for us, and get a win at home against Hammond to keep things interesting for our final division game at Harrisville.
Morristown slipped to 8-3-0 (16 points) in the NAC West and Coach George Beaulieu said that thetop priority for the Rockets was to get healthy.
We only had 12 guys today and we have four guys banged up. But that is the way it goes in a small school, said Beaulieu.
It was a great game today and our guys played hard right to the end. The guys are working hard and they are coming on.
Jordan scored the lone goal of the day 6:32 into the second half when he took a pass from Adam Kelley and placed a shot out of the reach of Morristown keeper Luke King.
James Richards supplied a series turn-in passes from outside halfback for the Rockets who enjoyed some promising buildups but were limited to a precious few close range chances against Lisbon keeper Jimmy Robinson (6 saves).
Cody James at sweeper and Ryan Buckley at stopper really had strong games and Reiley Alberto made some nice things happen playing at center midfield, said Reed.
Koby Jordan placed the shot well that he scored on and Kane Jordan did some nice things on the outside.
Canton 2, Malone 1: At Malone, the Bears (9-2-1, 7-1-1) scored twice in the second half in the win as Tanner Sanderson received a the game winner from Jacob Oatlam in the 76th minute after Isai Paredones scored in the 73rd minute unassisted to tie the game for Malone. Jake Facey connected from Matt Mende in the 6th minute for Canton.
Scott Wight had five saves for Canton. Austin LaMay made seven stops for Malone (8-4-1, 6-3-1).
Potsdam 4, Massena 3 (OT): the host Sandstoners built a 2-0 lead by halftime and went ahead by three goals early in the second before the Raiders came storming back to force overtime.
Ian Vitek opened the scoring 16 minutes into the game off an assist from Matt Stone. Pat Normandin netted the second Potsdam goal in the 27th minute assisted by Dylan Gruneisen before Ebuka Ononye pushed the lead to 3-0 in the fifth minute of the second half by finishing off a play set up by Vitek.
Jordan Robert sparked the Massena comeback when he converted from Dylan Stone just two minutes after the third Potsdam goal then cut the deficit to 3-2 five minutes later with an unassisted marker. Junior Zach Kozsan capped the Raider rally by knocking the ball into the back of the net through a goalmouth scramble with five minutes left in regulation.
Ononye kept Massena from coming way with a point when he connected from Dylan Emerson three minutes into the first 10-minute overtime and the Sandstoners made it stand for the dramatic win.
Ashler Herrick made seven saves working the Potsdam crease through the first half and the 20 minutes of overtime while Jack Byrnes handled another seven shots in the second half.
Cameron Marsh and Brendan Broderick combined to record 15 stops backstopping the Raider effort.

|Two Sunday PM Wrecks Cause Injuries
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 25 March 2013 05:16
There were two injury accidents Sunday afternoon with victims transported to Watauga Medical Center. The first was a noon crash on US 321 in front of Tweetsie Railroad. The state patrol said that Geoffrey Rayle, 54, of Lenoir, lost control on the slick roadway, his 2000 Buick skidded off the road,
rolled over and struck a tree some 25 feet off of the roadway. Rayle was transported to Watauga Medical Center for treatment of non-life threatening injuries, then was cited for Exceeding a Safe Speed in the crash.
The second crash was on Brownwood Road in Deep Gap just after 4:30, a two-car crash that occurred as 19-year old Nicholas Edward Lilly of Deep Gap went left of center, according to the state patrol, his 2003 Mazda sedan striking the 2001 Ford Ranger pickup of Phillip Lee Watson of Fleetwood, the truck running off of the road and overturning after the crash. Nicholas Edward Lilly was taken to Watauga Medical Center for evaluation and a CAT scan, and was cited there by the state patrol for Left of Center, Failure to Maintain Lane Control, and Possession of an alcoholic beverage Underage.

Agents from the Department of Homeland Security posing as national "police" were deployed across the country this week to monitor and intimidate Tea Party activists, who were peacefully protesting the Obama administration and its abuse of the IRS to target conservative groups. The apparently unlawful spying and bullying has drawn outrage from analysts, experts, and commentators from across the political spectrum worried that the federal government is going off the rails.
From California to Florida and everywhere in between, armed DHS functionaries — part of the so-called "Federal Protective Service" (FPS) — intimidated and spied on peaceful activists, according to protesters in attendance. News reports were filled with pictures and videos of large Homeland Security trucks that said "police" in giant letters, along with armed DHS personnel dressed in "police" outfits. At a rally in Los Angeles, a DHS helicopter was even spotted flying overhead as federal "police" ordered protesters to get off of government property.
More than a few attendees at the rallies expressed fears about being spied on by authorities in the future — or even being targeted by the IRS. Some analysts said the federal show of force was probably an effort by the administration to intimidate Americans into remaining silent, while others speculated that the U.S. government was hoping to provoke a reaction out of the protesters that could be used to demonize activists concerned about lawless federal activities.
Among the most serious concerns cited by critics — aside from federal spying and intimidation of citizens exercising rights guaranteed under the First Amendment — were the giant letters reading "police" emblazoned on DHS vehicles and personnel. Of course, the Constitution does not grant the U.S. government any power to establish a national police force or anything even remotely resembling one.
Indeed, outside of a few federal crimes such as counterfeiting, treason, and piracy, law enforcement is supposed to be a function of state and local government. Analysts also noted that there was absolutely no reason for armed federal bureaucrats to be keeping tabs on a peaceful protest — especially when local police with legitimate jurisdiction could have secured the rallies if needed.

MASSENA - Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand (D-NY) made creating manufacturing jobs in New York state the focus of her visit to the Alcoa East Plant early Friday afternoon.
Speaking before dozens of local government, business, academia and economic development officials, Mrs. Gillibrand promoted the Made in America Manufacturing Act, the first piece of legislation she introduced in the 113th Congress. The bill is a federal funding competition intended to foster public-private partnerships that would promote growth in local manufacturing, particularly high-technology manufacturing.
I know New Yorks manufacturing can push us through the 21st century, Mrs. Gillibrand said. I know well see a rise in manufacturing and well see it here in New York.
According to Mrs. Gillibrand, the state has lost more than 123,000 manufacturing jobs since 2005. In the north country, an estimated 3,470 manufacturing jobs were lost from 2005 to 2010, including more than 1,120 from St. Lawrence County.
She said she sees the potential for regional manufacturing job growth, but many of those jobs require new training to qualify workers for the changing landscape of manufacturing. According to a 2011 survey by the Manufacturing Institute, more than 600,000 manufacturing jobs went unfilled due to a shortage of skilled workers.
The legislation would intend to help address the gap in skilled workers by partnering with the states community colleges, vocational education programs and job training providers to help them better meet the needs of U.S. manufacturers.
What we have to do is make sure the next generation of products that are developed and made are made here in the north country so we can keep our manufacturers that are here growing and level the playing field for new manufacturers that we hope to grow, Gillibrand said.
The legislation also proposes the establishment of a revolving loan fund, which would provide businesses and economic developers with low-interest loans. Mrs. Gillibrand hopes the capital would allow manufacturers to construct new high-technology facilities or upgrade existing facilities, equipment and infrastructure. She said the biggest impediment to job growth is a lack of available capital.
I believe New Yorks great manufacturing communities are well positioned to compete for funding that would help carry out their innovative ideas to spark more growth in high-tech manufacturing sectors, jumpstart new businesses and create good-paying jobs right here where we need them most, she said.
Clarkson University Provost Charles E. Chuck Thorpe drew comparisons between aspects of Mrs. Gillibrands proposed legislation and Clarksons Shipley Center for Innovations revolving loan fund to help students start-up their own small businesses. He nicknamed the senator (Clarkson University President) Tony (Collins)s big sister, and likened the legislation to Clarksons loan program on steroids.
Mr. Thorpe commended Mrs. Gillibrands efforts, saying action is needed to move the state into the modern, ever-changing world of manufacturing.
The images we have in mind of manufacturing being a man doing back-breaking labor is gone. Todays jobs are a lot more interested in technology and design, he said.
Mr. Thorpe hopes that by bringing together government bodies and business leaders, as proposed in the bill, more can be done to ensure skilled American workers are filling these high-tech manufacturing jobs rather than having that work outsourced overseas. Some of the solution is better training, and some of it is just saying, Lets work together on the same team, he said.
During her visit, Mrs. Gillibrand also stressed the importance of keeping Alcoa in the region, and suggested that going into the future north country entrepreneurs invest more in wind power and dairy farming, seeing both as natural advantages to the region.
John Martin, U.S. primary products president for Alcoa and until recently the plant manager of the Massena Operations, praised Mrs. Gillibrands bill as a step to preserve and increase manufacturing jobs in New York state.
Alcoa appreciates the work that (Mrs.) Gillibrand is doing to improve the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers, Mr. Martin said. We in the north country support her effort to revitalize New Yorks manufacturing base.
He noted Massena was home to the longest continuous operating aluminum smelter in the world and expressed optimism for its future, a line that drew applause as the deadline approaches for Alcoa for the company to make a decision on whether it will invest close to a billion dollars to upgrade the Alcoa East plant.
County legislators commended Mrs. Gillibrand for supporting job growth in the region.
Ms. Gillibrands presence is proof that theres a commitment to the north country, to maintaining jobs here and to our future, said Legislator Jonathan Putney (D-Lisbon), chairman of the St. Lawrence County Legislature. I think the senator is very proactive in trying to engage the communities in the north country.

CANTON A former Massena man who had been accused of assaulting an infant was sentenced Tuesday to a year in St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility.
Daniel A. Frederick, 30, of 4131 Route 310, Norfolk, formerly of 8 Bucktown Road, was sentenced for misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child.
The sentence followed a trial in October in which a jury after two days of deliberation was unable to reach a verdict on a felony second-degree assault charge. The jury found him guilty of the endangering charge.
The charges against Frederick stemmed from a March 16, 2012 incident when his then-girlfriend Kaitlin A. Murrays 13-month-old daughter had suffered a burn mark on her right cheek and several other red marks on her chest, back, arms and legs, according to court documents. She was treated at Massena Memorial Hospital.
Court documents state Frederick had been baby sitting the child that day, and the injuries were discovered when he took the child to Ms. Murrays sisters home that evening.
In addition to his jail sentence, Mr. Frederick was ordered to pay $250 in court fines, fees and surcharges and $362.63 in restitution.

Screen Protectors
Everyone hates to see a scratch on their smartphones and tablets. Your screen is the most important part of your electronic device, and taking off a two year old screen protector to reveal a mint condition iPhone screen is a great feeling. While the cosmetic benefits are valuable, more importantly it protects your complex gadgets and ensures your screen doesn't get gauged and cut.
There are no products matching the selection.

My point though, is slips. I have sixteen, which perhaps isn't quite as much as I thought, but still a considerable amount. The other day I was in a foul-mouthed foul mood and decided to run into Goodwill. Normally I avoid it, since the local one is terribly disorganized, overpriced, and I hardly find anything worth the trip. This visit was different! First, they reorganized with new shelves. Second, I found two lovely and perfect half-slips with inches of lace on the bottom. One mint green, one white, they were both yellow-tagged and thus, were half-off!
I have ten full-slips that I keep on one hanger. I love the range in colors, so delicate and breezy, soft and tea-steeped, and they look so nice hanging against my windows (I hang my slips from the handles that open my skylights). I wear the top two slips the most often, because of their length, and have been meaning to alter some of the other ones so that I may wear them with shorter dresses but have yet to get around to it. The second slip is my favorite. It was floor-length and my mom shortened it with the neatest and prettiest little French seam around the middle.
One of my favorite things about slips are the tiniest of details. This one has blue flowers encased in lace, all along the neckline and the hem.
I have several half-slips (the two newest are in the center) which I've taken to wearing under longer dresses and skirts. Lately I've been lucky enough to find ones that are quite decadent on the bottom with large edges of lace. The top one here is more of a skirt, and reminds me of tablecloths. I have yet to wear it, but I just love it. It reminds me of the beach.
I've always loved slips and nightgowns. I remember when I was little I always wanted more and always wandered around those sections in department stores of thrift stores. They are perfect. They are functional both for adding length to a dress or skirt, or for preventing irritating clinging-to-stockings. Mostly though, they are beautiful and delicate. I just love them to bits. In the summer I'm a big fan, I liked to toss one on when I'm sitting around the house trying not to pass-out in the heat. There is something very appealing about sweaty summer evenings and slips, pretty and sort of debauched and subversive.

(c) Regional impact evaluation
Within 2 months after a catastrophic regional fishery disaster the Secretary shall provide the Governor of each State participating in the program a comprehensive economic and socio-economic evaluation of the affected region's fisheries to assist the Governor in assessing the current and future economic viability of affected fisheries, including the economic impact of foreign fish imports and the direct, indirect, or environmental impact of the disaster on the fishery and coastal communities.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Three years ago I lamented that it had been 40 years since I graduated from high school. While only seemingly yesterday at the time, it was a lifetime ago in a very different place with different people.
Today I look back on another event that took place in my life exactly 40 years to the day, today. It was the day I got married the first time.
When I was thinking about high school being four decades in the past, it was one thing. I have little to remind me that of that time other than cloudy memories. I seldom think about it because three dusty yearbooks in a shelf in my home office and a Murray Spartan's football pin hanging on a University of Utah banner above that same shelf are all I really physically have left from those days. Over the years it has gotten to the point where I only keep in touch with a couple of old high school friends and that is very sporadic.
But that first marriage is another thing. The nine years between when I got married at 21 and divorced at 30 changed me immensely. I also have two children from that marriage (and their kids) that are very much a part of my life.
So 40 years ago tonight I was standing in a line shaking hands with a lot of people I didn't know, some of which I was never to see again, as we had our reception. It was a nice wedding and reception. We were very young (although at the time I thought I was very mature). At 21, I now realize, I knew nothing about anything, although I thought I knew a lot about everything. She was 18, having only graduated from high school just a few days before.
It would be easy to call the whole thing a mistake, but when I want to do that, I have to think about what came out of that relationship. The kids mainly, both of whom I adore. But also some other things. For most divorced people it is easy to blame the other person for all your woes, and I did that for a long time. But this many years later, even though it was not easy for us to coexist, I realize a lot of the fault for the failure of that marriage was mine.
Sure I can point to a thousand things she did wrong or things she did that made me mad. But much of why those things happened were because of me. We both made a lot of mistakes.
It's also easy to blame other people for a marriage's failure. Friends sometimes got between us, but it really wasn't their fault either. We let it happen.
And family. We came from very different worlds, particularly in terms of religion. I tried to blend into her families values and beliefs, but it was like trying to scale a 50 foot wall with your bare hands and no seams to hold onto. I just couldn't do it; I didn't believe in what they believed in.
They didn't get in the way; I did in trying to be something I wasn't.
I was a spoiled kid when we got married. It all had to be about me and that wasn't easy for my ex-wife to handle, I am sure.
We had a lot of good times. We did a lot of fun stuff too. But we just didn't fit together, not for a marriage anyway. Not for a lifetime.
There have been times in my years on this planet when I felt like I lost a decade, the 10 years that were my 20s, because of that marriage. But that's not true. What I took from it is still part of me today, despite the fact so many of the details of the good and bad situations have been lost in time.
Without that first marriage I would have been a very different person. Maybe better, maybe worse. Point is that we can't know. Making good decisions about the rest of your life should never be left with immature minds; but we have to allow people to do their own thing every day, because we believe that people have the right to make choices, particularly once they reach what we term a "legal age."
I am no longer sorry that I was married once before, but I am sorry about the way it worked out. Do I wish I had never done it? When I see my oldest son and daughter, I know the result was right, despite all the pain and anguish over things.
The old saying about forgiving, but not forgetting can be true.
But to me, forgiving can be so much better if you just can forget too.

Research In Motion recently announced their Blackberry 7 lineup which will include a number of new devices such as unlocked Blackberry Torch Touch 9860, Bold Touch 9900 that have not been previously revealed by the company. They will also be launching their new QNX phone, which is a device that has garnered a lot of attention since it was first announced. The company has touted the superior battery life is a reason why many consumers should give it a chance. It also has full-color screens as well as a 1 GHz plus processor and a quad core CPU for mobile devices. This will make it the most high-powered Research In Motion device that the company has released so far.
With their tablet, the Blackberry PlayBook, underperforming in terms of their expectations, it is clear that they are looking for devices that will be hyped by the media in the same way that other high-powered devices have been in recent times. It will be interesting to see if the new QNX phone is able to garner the same following that other phones have had in recent times.
Blackberry and RIM have had a number of failures in terms of the unlocked devices that they have released recently, and they're hoping that a few of the devices that they are developed recently can help them to put together an excellent array of different devices that are available to users that will help them to raise the popularity of their services that they provide.
Research in Motion as a company has drastically changed their philosophy over the course of the last few months and continued to update how they go about releasing new devices, as well as the type of devices that they release. The QNX has a full keyboard that will allow for quick e-mailing and texting, as with many of the devices that they have released recently.

Everyday we use products made of latex—balloons, rubber bands, condoms, rubber household gloves, rubber balls and Band-Aids, for example. For some people, though, contact with these products can cause discomfort or painful reactions. In some rare cases, it can cause death.
What is Latex?
The term "latex" refers to the sap of the Brazilian rubber tree or the products made from that sap. The term is used to mean "natural rubber products."
What Types of Reactions Are There?
You can have two different types of reaction from contact with latex. The most common reaction is contact dermatitis. This is a red, itchy rash that breaks out where latex has touched your skin. It appears 12 to 24 hours after contact.
Contact dermatitis usually is caused by frequent washing, harsh soaps and friction of putting on and taking off gloves. Sometimes it is caused by chemicals added to latex when products are made. This type of reaction is often more severe, with blisters and crusted sores. Areas of the body not in contact with the latex product are not affected.
Poison ivy causes a similar reaction. In the past 10 years, some people have begun to have an immediate hypersensitivity to latex. What happens is like an allergic reaction to an insect sting or to peanuts. Within minutes of contact, or even after inhaling glove dusting powder, an allergic person develops itching or hives, stuffy nose, sneezing, itchy eyes or asthma symptoms.
In some cases, the allergy can cause anaphylactic shock. This is a dangerous condition in which the blood vessels widen so much that blood pressure plummets. Symptoms include sweating, paleness, panting, nausea, rapid pulse, faintness, confusion and even passing out. With
out speedy treatment, this intense allergic reaction can cause death. (See the Asthma and Allergy Answer fact sheet, "What is Anaphylaxis").
What Causes a Reaction to Latex?
The reaction is caused by allergens—proteins in the sap of the rubber tree. Most experts believe that the allergy has surfaced recently as a result of the increased use of latex to protect people from infectious agents. There may be other causes as well. Man-made latex is not a problem.
Who Is Likely to Get a Reaction?
Perhaps one in every 1,000 people develops a latex allergy. Although rare, the condition has become common in certain high-risk groups.
The highest risk is in children with spina bifida—a condition in which the spine failed to form completely before birth. About three of every five children with spina bifida are allergic to latex.
Also at high risk are any children who have frequent and repeated medical treatments or lengthy surgery that involve the use of latex products. Many medical supplies, from gloves to tubing to enemas tips, are made of latex.
From 5 percent to 15 percent of health care workers and others who regularly wear latex gloves are allergic to latex. Health care workers and children who have other allergies and get contact dermatitis when they use latex gloves are more likely to develop a latex allergy.
Sometimes people with latex allergies experience a reaction to many tropical fruits, nuts and vegetables, particularly avocado, banana, chestnut, hazelnut, kiwi, raw potato, tomato, peaches, papaya, stone fruits (such as plums) or celery.
What Are the Symptoms?
Common early symptoms include:
Swelling, redness and itching after contact with rubber. Itching or swelling of the lips after blowing up balloons or around Band-Aids suggests latex allergy.
Swelling or itching of the mouth or tongue after a dental visit. Swelling and itching after medical exams such as vaginal and rectal exams or on contact with condoms or diaphragms.
Redness or itching of the hands, stuffy nose or asthma that occurs while wearing latex gloves or having frequent contact with latex products at work.
People highly allergic to latex may have severe reactions from contact with just a small amount of latex in the air. One person had a severe asthma attack after entering a room where children had blown up a few balloons.
Symptoms that suggest you may be allergic to latex should not be ignored. Constant contact with latex products—for example, intense exposure during surgery—can lead to more severe reactions. People also can develop chronic conditions such as occupational asthma.
How Is a Latex Allergy Diagnosed?
If you think you may be allergic to latex, see a doctor familiar with the condition. It can be diagnosed with a medical history, physical exam and either a blood test or skin sensitivity test. The blood test involves looking for latex antibodies in a blood sample. For the skin test, an extract of latex is used to scratch or prick the skin. If you are allergic to the product, redness or swelling may appear at the scratch. Your doctor compares your test results with your history and physical exam to make a diagnosis of latex allergy.
What Should I Do If I Am Allergic to Latex?
Avoid latex. The only treatment for latex allergy is to prevent any contact with latex products. Medications may help control symptoms. They cannot be relied on to prevent symptoms from later contact with latex, though.
To avoid airborne latex, ask co-workers to wear only non-latex gloves or latex gloves that are not powdered.
Avoid antihistamine medications, which may hide problems with latex in the air.
Always wear or carry a tag to identify your latex allergy in case you need emergency care.
Obtain a letter about your allergy from your doctor. Latex allergy has been recognized only recently. Many health care workers may not have heard of it or know how to treat it.
Ask doctors, dentists and others whether routine exams or treatment will expose you to latex. You may want to carry latex-free exam gloves with you to give your dentist or doctor.
Check labeling to make sure products contain no latex. Do not assume a product labeled "hypoallergenic" is latex-free.
Always carry injectable epinephrine, such as Ana-Kit or EpiPen. These products are used to treat reactions to insect bites and foods. Injecting epinephrine can save your life if you have a severe reaction. Immediately seek medical care.
Be aware that people with latex allergy may also develop food allergies. The food allergy can occur unexpectedly, and even the first attack can be severe. Never eat fresh fruits or vegetables or nuts without having an injectable epinephrine syringe at hand.

|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 31 May 2007 04:25
Tuesday afternoon, the Bank of Granite on N.C. Highway 127 in Hickory was robbed, police say.Witnesses said a man entered the bank through the front door and walked up to a teller with a note that instructed her to give him money. Though the man indicated he had a gun, the teller never saw one according to police statements. The alleged robber got away with an undisclosed amount of cash. According to police, he walked across N.C. Highway 127 into the Westover Woods neighborhood. Dogs were unable to track the man. Video footage was recovered from the bank. The alleged robber is thought to be white, average height, in his 30s, wearing a long-sleeved orange T-shirt, an orange or beige baseball hat and blue jeans. He also has a reddish-brown goatee. Anyone with information is urged to contact Hickory police at 828-328-5551.

By RICHARD SHAWSports editor
It seems it takes a Morgan to beat a Morgan.
But when you ask one of those Morgan's, Warburton that is, she will tell you that it takes a team.
On Saturday night the Carbon Lady Dinos basketball team accomplished something no other group of women have been able to do in the 30 plus year history of interschool sports at the institution.
They won the girls state 3A basketball championship, and more importantly they did it in convincing fashion, 64-54, against a team that was bigger, stronger and probably more talented than they were.
But it certainly wasn't more motivated.
"I told 'em at halftime that people from Carbon County don't back down from a fight," said Coach Bruce Bean after the celebrating at the school died down a little Monday afternoon. "I told them to attack, attack and attack. I told them if they were open they should shoot."
And the squad did exactly what Bean said. They came out of the locker room behind 30-24 and immediately started to take control of the game back from the Lady Trojans who had not lost an instate game in two years.
Not even to 4A and 5 A competition.
But the vaulted Lady Trojans had a weak spot and Bean knew they could exploit it.
"They had a close game earlier in the season against Cedar City and I thought I knew why," said the coach. "At the E-Center this weekend the game between two was not so close because the difference was that Cedars top point guard, maybe the best one in the state, was out with an ACL injury. That was a key."
Enter Halee Rasmussen. Like her team, underrated all season until the very end, she came up with the plays in the end that made the difference and that effort and that made some college coaches take notice that would have even given her a look at the first of the season.
"She just ate them up didn't she," said Bean. "You know it took her about half a season to figure out when to give the ball up to Warburton and when to keep it; she learned that. In this game it was her defense."
To get to the point where the Lady Dinos had the chance to meet Morgan for the championship they played two very dangerous games on Thursday and Friday respectively, against teams with completely different styles.
In the first they registered a 56-31 win over a physical and athletic Judge Memorial team.
"That was a great start to the tournament because we were able to extend our lead after Warburton got into foul trouble," said Bean. "We played Judge earlier in the year and I knew what it would be like. I knew if we got ahead it would be hard for them to catch up. But if we had had a bad game it could have been a real problem."
With that game against a defense oriented team they then faced Canyon View, a team that works like a machine on offense.
"This team is one of the best in the state when it comes to efficiency," said Bean just before the game on Friday afternoon. "They have flashy stars on it but they consistently play together. Steve Hobsen is one of the best coaches in the state; he has won at all levels."
But despite Beans concern, the Lady Dinos almost made it look easy by putting on their great full court defense.
"We were able to frustrate them," said Bean after his team took the Lady Falcons apart with a 46-28 victory. "They couldn't figure out our defense. But the best part of this is that we were able to execute our offense so well against what I consider to be the best defensive team in the 3A classification."
Well, maybe, except Morgan.
At the beginning of the championship game it looked as if Carbon was going to run away with the trophy. Warburton began popping in 3 pointers and soon the Lady Trojans looked like they didn't even understand what was happening to them. They became disoriented as the first quarter ended with Carbon having a 17-11 lead. No one was sure the last time Morgan was behind at the end of a first period in a game, but obviously there is a first time for everything.
However, the quarter break gave the Morgan kids a chance to regroup and they threw on their full court defense, probably the best in the state, no matter what the classification. It was a learning experience for the Lady Dinos, and it took them that second period to figure it out.
"That was by far the best press we had faced this year," said Bean later. "But after a little experience we handled it pretty well, better than any other opponents they had this year. Sure we didn't get past it every time, but we did it enough to keep them for taking us completely out of our offense."
Bean was being modest though. In the third period the Morgan press almost disappeared as Carbon took advantage of the empty room under the basket time and time again. At the end of the third period they led the Lady Trojans 44-41.
But the Carbon offense didn't stop there. It continued into the final period and when Morgan's star player fouled out, she kicked the bench and yelled out of frustration.
A few minutes later Warburton also fouled out, but she knew her team could carry out the winning plan. She stood behind the bench and yelled and clapped and encouraged her teammates.
"I had to tell her to get back so I could coach the team," said Bean. "She was so excited she wanted to get in there and help us spell out the plan."
When Carbon ran onto the court with the victory it spelled a new era in the schools sports history. For the last five years they have spent both the volleyball season and the basketballs seasons playing either runner up to the champions or just one step away from that.
But Warburton, who had played on these teams since she was a freshman in 2001, had grown leaps and bounds, not only athletically, but in her ability to lead and make her team better.
"She left everything on the court that night," said Bean of the girl who as a woman will play for a top notch University of Utah team next year. "This year she exhibited leadership over athletics."
Warburton was selected as the tournaments MVP and Rasmussen was selected to the all tournament team.
But Bean doesn't want the community to forget that a team won this title either. He had words for many of the keys players on the team.
"Maquette Potts should be the poster child for this team," stated Bean. "She is the heart and the guts of this squad."
Bean also said that Jamie King was a trooper who after volleyball season was ready to give up.
"She couldn't even raise her hands above her head after the tournament in October," he said. 'But she did it because she felt she owed to the others."
Danielle Martino is another he complimented. Often overlooked she has been a defensive presence on the team all season.
"I told her she needed to get out and rebound against Morgan and she did exactly that," he said.
He also mentioned that Amie Stewart had been a great fighter for his team this season.
But there are two other players that fans had seen all season who were like dust devils on the court, and it didn't stop at the state finals either.
"Meesha Rasmussen and Tabby Cummins are like balls of fire," said Bean. "They are a one-two punch for us. Each of them goes like heck up and down the court. I have to replace them frequently because they don't know anything but full speed all the time."
In the final game of her high school career Warburton scored 30 points, including six three pointers. Potts in her ultimate consistency scored 15 points and Halee Rasmussen put in 10. Others in the scoring column included Cummins, King and Martino with three points each.
Saturday night was truly sweet for a bunch of girls who worked together for the ultimate goal in any athletic career; a state championship.

The United States Constitution calls for an enumeration (census) to be taken every 10 years to determine the number of representatives each state will send to Congress. The next one is set to begin on April 1, 2010.
But census workers are already on the streets of America, and they're doing more than just seeking the number of people in each household. They're tasked with marking the Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates of every house in America.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau website, "This GPS technology allows us to reduce the amount of time spent by census workers in locating addresses while increasing productivity. Most importantly, by adding a GPS coordinate to each housing unit, the Census Bureau is able to ensure that residents are counted in the right location. This is important as the data are used to apportion congressional representation and used to draw redistricting lines."
But the idea of mapping GPS coordinates for every front door in America reeks of Big Brother intrusion. And it's just a continuation of Big Brother Government's efforts to compile more and more data on each individual.
Already the census goes far beyond its Constitutional charter of counting the population. Census forms ask intimate questions that are not the government's business.
Information such as income, description of your property, whether you have running water, a shower or bathtub, type of heating system, the type of fees you have to pay in your community, rental or mortgage payment amounts, education level, whether you have insurance, whether you have a disability, how you get to work and much more is requested on some forms. All of it beyond the scope of what our Founders had in mind when they set up the enumeration.
All that information is great for pencil-pushing, snooping bureaucrats and newspaper editors writing statistical stories. But it's much too much information for the government to have on its citizens.
Now comes the GPS coordinates as a further intrusion. As blogger Douglas V. Gibbs wrote on his American Daily Review, "GPS coordinates of your front door will make it easier for the government to monitor you. The U.S. Census Bureau is simply an excuse—a harmless-looking means of obtaining the front door coordinates. The creation of GPS coordinates for front doors has nothing to do with the Census, in all honesty, no matter how much the United States Government tries to convince you that it does.
"Why would the U.S. Government desire the exact location of your front door to be entered into their GPS data base when they already have the location of your home in the system?" Gibbs asked.
How's this for a scenario? With the military stretched thin by fighting a two-front war, what's going to happen in the case of a national emergency?
Gibbs posits that perhaps United Nations troops, many non-English speaking and certainly unfamiliar with U.S. communities, would use them to locate the neighborhoods they are required to police or the houses of people they are sent to take into custody.
Certainly foreign troops would be more willing than U.S. soldiers to quell an uprising of U.S. citizens fed up with an increasingly socialist/fascist government.
And who can forget the scenes of smart bombs and tomahawk missiles, guided by GPS coordinates, going through the windows and doors of buildings during the invasion of Iraq?
Who thinks this is what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the census into the Constitution?
