Marking 70 years of collaboration, the new Pentagon USO exhibit was dedicated in an August 31 ceremony. Located at an escalator landing on the third floor of the building's A Ring, the exhibit tells the story of the USO and its continued support of America's troops with a decade-by-decade timeline featuring life-size murals, photographs, and memorabilia.
"Over the course of the last four years I've watched the USO change," said Admiral Mike Mullen, then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "I've been impressed with both how the USO has assessed itself, as well as how it looks to what it needs to do in the future. And it's on a great, great glide slope with a terrific vision and a terrific plan.
"Words cannot capture all the difference that the USO has made. It's an incredible group of people at the USO, headed up by an extraordinary individual, who I have watched come in and change the model," he added. "It was time to move forward in a way that represents where we all need to be going in the future, with respect to our men and women and support for them, in incredibly concrete ways that make a difference in their lives."
The timeline serves to remind passers-by of the USO's significant impact on American troops and their families through morale-boosting programs, services, and entertainment.
"Just as Bob Hope and Marilyn Monroe were volunteering years ago to bring a ray of joy to forward-deployed troops, today it's Robin Williams and Gary Sinise and Toby Keith and hundreds of other celebrities," USO President Sloan Gibson said.
But Gibson also encouraged those who view the exhibit to look past the celebrities and focus on the consistent contributors who have been with the USO from day one -- the volunteers.
"It's really these volunteers … that make the USO America's way to show appreciation to troops and families," he said. "It's the visceral support of America, standing behind the work that we do, because that's what a young soldier, sailor, airman or Marine -- or their family member -- recognizes when they walk into a USO center. That they are there for them and only for them and that there's not any other agenda."
This fall, Cheerios and the USO are partnering to thank military families for their commitment to our country.
Specially marked boxes of Cheerios will feature "Cheer" postcards, which can be cut out so customers can add a message of encouragement. Add a stamp and the pre-addressed card is ready for the postman. The USO will distribute the postcards to families at USO centers.
For every postcard received before November 30, 2012, Cheerios will donate $1 to the USO -- up to $100,000 -- to help support programs for military families. That donation is on top of a $150,000 gift Cheerios has already made to the USO.
Those who want to brighten a military family's day need to act fast, though. The specially marked boxes will only be on store shelves while supplies last.
The Kroger Company and the USO expanded their partnership with the Honoring Our Heroes campaign to support men and women in the armed forces and their families.
The initiative raised $1.5 million to benefit USO programs that support troops and their families.
Customers and associates at Kroger stores were invited to show their appreciation for our military families by donating through activities at Kroger stores throughout the country. All funds raised went to support the USO. Also, Procter & Gamble and Anheuser Busch contributed $250,000 each in conjunction with special sales programs at Kroger stores.
"Without essential partners like Kroger, it would be impossible for the USO to fulfill its mission of lifting the spirits of our men and women in uniform and their families," USO President Sloan Gibson said. "This campaign was a wonderful way for Americans to show their gratitude and say thank you to those who sacrifice every day for our freedom."
In mid-September, the USO shined a spotlight on an extraordinary group of unknown heroes—the selfless caregivers who watch over America's wounded warriors.
The USO Wounded Warrior Family and Caregivers Conference in Fayetteville, North Carolina, featured guest presenters who shared expertise on topics including post traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, parenting, children's grief, and suicide prevention.
"We have to think about how hard it is day after day to be dealing with suffering," said Dr. Kim Norman, a speaker at the conference who helped his son deal with post traumatic stress. "You can go numb or grow angry and irritable."
The second annual conference was held to help wounded warriors and caregivers learn about the wide range of resources available to support their difficult journeys.
In addition to the caregivers focus, the USO also hosted a half-day Wounded Warrior Conference at Fort Bragg on September 15 which included discussions about survivor guilt, confidence building, physical fitness, depression, and post traumatic stress.
Michael Eyassu saw the sacrifice of his friends and extended family members who served in the United States military. So when it came time to look for a new job, he found a way of "showing gratitude towards what they've done and continue to do."
But what sets Eyassu apart is how he decided to express that gratitude. Eyassu is one of two USO employees living and working at Camp Marmal --the newest of seven USO centers in Afghanistan -- near the city of Mazar-e-Sharif. As a program coordinator, he's responsible for setting up entertainment for troops in the thick of the battle.
So why take a post in the northern reaches of a war-torn country?
"Troops up here need USO presence the most," he said.
A native of Alexandria, Va., Eyassu spent time as a church volunteer, wireless consultant, and loan officer before joining the USO in January 2009.
He said that while USO centers he's worked at and troops he's met vary, his job always comes back to the same mission of serving those who serve.
"(USO employees should) always keep a positive attitude," he said. "Our job is to boost morale."
Eyassu's hard work and dedication to serving the troops has paid off. He is scheduled to become center director at Camp Marmal on November 1.
UPCOMING EVENTS * October 30: Join Team USO at the 36th Marine Corps Marathon H Daylight Savings Time ends November 6 * November 10: Happy Birthday Marines! * Thank a veteran this November 11 * The Entertainment Industry Foundation's Rise and Honor program to benefit the USO and other charities will be featured on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition at 8 p.m., November 11, on ABC. * November 24: Give thanks for freedom on Thanksgiving Day.
We would love to hear from you.

For the record: 'No one has ever preferred the CD'
EUGENE, Ore. - When was the last time you browsed through a record store or played an album on a turntable?
In the age of iPods and MP3s, these funny looking audio frisbees with holes in the middle are enjoying a revival of interest.
Vinyl records appear to be getting their groove back: U.S. sales last year were 18 percent above 2011.
Greg Sutherland at the House of Records in Eugene has had a front row seat to this phenomenon.
"It's an incredible story," he said of the vinyl revival. "It skipped a generation, and now you've got these new people who are 15 to 25, and they're the ones. It's not old guys like us."
Sutherland said he's noticed the trend over the last 7 years as more people who grew up with iPods and music downloads catch the same performance on a modern platter.
"They heard a vinyl record and said, 'Wow, that sounds different. That's not the same as my MP3,' " he said.
Serious audiophiles swear the vinyl sound is better than ever.
"I've done a lot of experiments with people. I'll play them the CD and the vinyl from the same album," said Erik Muiderman, "and no one has ever preferred the CD."
Muiderman has 1,000 LPs in his collection, but that's no big deal in the world of serious collectors.
"I mean, there are guys in town here with 10,000," he said. "It's a disease - and stores like (House of Records) are very grateful for people with that disease."
Beyond the sound, consider the album artwork: The White Album on CD and record both come with classic shots of The Beatles.
The difference? The CD artwork is tiny; the record sleeve gives artists more room to complete the package.
Long story short: the analog sound of a needle tracing a groove is not going away.
"All I can say," Sutherland said, "they never went away."

By TOM MCCOURTGuest Contributor
Today we hear that the politicians who gave us the current oil crisis are formulating a plan to fix it.
Hold on tight, this could get ugly.
Could it be that our fearless leaders are going to drill for more oil to ease our pain at the gas pumps? Not a chance. That would make far too much sense. Instead, one of the plans is to re-instate a national 55-mile per hour speed limit. Those of you who remember disco and leisure suits will remember when the double nickel speed limit was the law of the land.
The national 55-mile per hour speed limit was first implemented in 1974 and endured until 1995. (Endure: to suffer, tolerate, undergo, bear, or carry on under adversity). The idea was to slow everyone down in an effort to save gas.
The speed limit was put into effect shortly after the Yom Kippur War between Israel and the Arabs back in October 1973. We supported the Israelis and the Arabs turned off our oil spigot. The price of crude oil quadrupled overnight. There were long lines at the gas stations and much weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth over our dependence on foreign oil. We were importing about 26 percent of our domestic needs back then.
And so, in 1974 our politicians set out to fix the problem. They promised we would never again be held hostage over oil. They vowed to make our country energy independent as quickly as possible. Presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter all championed the cause. Citizens cheered and traded in their gas-guzzling muscle cars and 1970s station wagons for economical unexploded Ford Pintos. Everyone was excited about becoming energy independent. We didn't want to ever again endure (see definition above) the sight of our national leaders shamelessly groveling and kissing up to Arab sheiks bedecked with diamonds and haughty smirks. So far so good, right?
But then they instituted the national 55-mile per hour speed limit and the whole energy independence thing fell apart. It seems that a lower speed limit solved all of our problems because that's all congress ever did to solve the 1970s oil crisis. Within a year the Arabs lowered the price of crude, and by 1995 when the 55 speed limit was finally discontinued, our dependence on foreign oil had doubled to 50 percent of domestic use. Today it's almost 70 percent. In spite of all the talk, since 1974 our national energy policy can be summed up in three words - import more oil.
And since the 55-mile per hour speed limit worked so well the last time we had an energy crisis, the politicians want to use it again this time. Of course it won't do anything to help at the gas pump, but at least congress can say they did something. And besides, there are some advantages to having a lower national speed limit. Here are a few.
â¢Fewer bugs on the windshield.
â¢It takes longer to drive to work so we have more time to comb hair and put on makeup while driving.
â¢Everyone can listen to Rush Limbaugh for an extra 15 minutes each day.
â¢It's a moneymaker for government because cops write more speeding tickets.
â¢Spending more time in traffic helps you bond with members of the carpool.
â¢More vacation time is spent enjoying the scenery as it slowly goes past.
â¢Tourism benefits because it takes more time and rest stops to get from place to place.
â¢Road rage happens at lower, safer speeds.
â¢It's easier to road hunt along the interstate.
There are some disadvantages, too. For instance if every car in the Salt Lake valley spends an extra 15 minutes on the road every day because of lower speed limits, won't that increase air pollution and fuel consumption? In addition interstate commerce slows down, and time is money. Who pays the extra shipping costs?
But what the heck, a 55-mile per hour speed limit is a safe, do nothing, feel-good solution to the energy crisis. Politicians can say they did something, without really doing anything, while not offending anyone but the little people who commute to work.
Expect to see those 55-mph road signs real soon.

Sage Polenta
- 5 cups water, plus more as needed
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup coarse Italian polenta
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat, then add 2 teaspoons salt. Whisking constantly, add polenta in a slow, steady stream and return to a boil. Reduce heat to a very low simmer. Cover partially; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is creamy and starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 40 minutes, adding sage in last 5 minutes. If polenta is too thick to stir, add more water (up to 1/2 cup), a little at a time, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat. Stir in butter, and season with pepper and more salt, as desired. Serve hot.

Elinor Klivans' Espresso & Dark Chocolate Chipsters
Makes 32 cookies
Measuring and mixing time 10 minutes
Baking 350 degrees F/180 degrees C/gas 4 for about 14 minutes
1 1/4 cups/155 g unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup/115 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup/100 g firmly packed light brown sugar
6 tbsp granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups/340 g semisweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp unsweetened Dutch process cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp instant espresso dissolved in 1 tbsp water
Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
Put the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in the large bowl of an electric mixer and beat on medium speed until smoothly blended, about 1 minute. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed during the mixing. Mix in the egg and vanilla until blended, 1 minute. Reduce the speed to low and mix in the flour mixture, just to incorporate it.
Transfer half of the dough to a medium bowl and set aside. Using the electric mixer on low speed, mix in the cocoa powder to blend it. Mix in 1 cup/170 g of the chocolate chips just to distribute them. Set aside. In the medium bowl and using a large spoon, mix in the dissolved espresso to blend it. Mix in the remaining chocolate chips. You will have a bowl of chocolate dough and a bowl of coffee-flavored dough.
Divide the chocolate dough into two equal parts and on a large piece of plastic wrap, form each into a chocolate log about 8 1/2 in/21.5 cm long and 1 1/2 in/4 cm in diameter. Divide the coffee dough into two equal parts and form each into a log that is the same size as the chocolate one. Using a small spoon or your fingers, press a slight indentation along the length of each chocolate log. If the dough is sticky, flour your fingers lightly. Press a coffee log onto each chocolate log to form two double-colored logs. Roll each up in the plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight, until firm, or wrap aluminum foil over the plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.
When ready to bake the cookies, position a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
This frozen dough would be difficult to cut and should be defrosted in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight before it is sliced.
Use a large sharp knife and a sawing motion (this helps cut through the chocolate chips) to cut each cold log into 16 slices, a generous 1/2 in/12 mm thick. Place the cookies 2 in/5 cm apart on the baking sheet. If any dough crumbles, simply press it back onto the cookie. Bake the cookies one sheet at a time just until the edges are firm, but the centers feel soft if touched lightly, about 14 minutes.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Use a wide metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
The cookies can be stored in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Mixtures of chemicals: EFSA assesses effects on human health

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA; Parma, Italy) has published a review of international frameworks for assessing chemical mixtures. The report supports the rollout of harmonized technology and methodologies for risk assessors and provides a platform for future EFSA work in this area. Assessing the impact of exposure to mixtures of chemicals was one of the topics discussed recently at this year's Helsinki Chemicals Forum. EFSA has set the assessment of combined exposure to multiple chemicals as a priority because of the challenges this poses for the...

It shall thereupon be unlawful for the vessel to depart.

Clifford Law Offices received a $10 million verdict Tuesday, March 27, 2012, on behalf of a family of a 21-year-old woman who was killed in her apartment building on Chicago's north side.
Colin Dunn, associate at the firm, obtained the verdict following a week-long trial in Cook County Circuit Court against the building's management company, owner and the killer who is now serving a 50-year-sentence in an Illinois penitentiary. Below is the statement that the sister of Melissa Dorner, killed in 2005, made to the press on behalf of the family involving this terrible tragedy:
Statement of the Family of Melissa Dorner
We want to express our gratitude to our lawyers at Clifford Law Offices and the
jury. It's been seven years since Melissa was brutally murdered in her
apartment. We know that no amount of money will bring her back to us, but we
hope that this lawsuit will make building owners reassess their policies and
procedures for screening prospective tenants and ensure that those procedures
are followed. Thank you.
To see some of the coverage of these events, please view the story that ran in the Chicago
Tribune, and in the Chicago Sun-Times.
The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin also ran an extensive story on the $10 million verdict. And the story was one of the top topics in Cook County news wire.
Television stations also covered the story, with Jeffrey Goldblatt, reporter for Channel 5, plus stories on Fox News and Channel 7.
The city mourns with the Dorner family on their terrible loss.

Leonardo Turull, 22, has been charged with three counts of burglary to a dwelling, possession of drug paraphernalia and violation of probation, according to OPD.
The burglaries that Turull is believed to be involved in occurred last month in the area of King Street and Fairway Lane, police said.

Another man was arrested during police investigation, but he was charged with resisting arrest without violence.
Turull will be booked into the Orange County Jail.

WADDINGTON - A failure to heed warnings that he and others were maybe being scammed helped lead to the loss of more than $300,000 in an alleged scam that targeted a priest, his parishioners and friends.
According to a statement from the daughter of one of the victims of Bobbie Jo Zellers alleged scam, efforts to prevent her mother and the priest from continuing to give Zeller money fell on deaf ears.
Zeller, 36, of 72 West Main St. Apt. 4, Norfolk, was charged Thursday with three counts of third-degree grand larceny, one count of fourth-degree grand larceny, three counts of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and one count of first-degree identity theft.
She was arraigned in Ogdensburg City Court before Judge William R. Small and sent to the St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, without bail. A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Mounting Suspicion
In her Sept 5 statement to police, Patricia M. Cambareri, daughter of June H. McQueeney, said she first became suspicious something was wrong in April 2012.
I started to notice my mom seemed to be very short of money and was lacking food in the house, she said. Whenever Id mention this to my mother she became very defensive.
A quick review of her mothers checkbook revealed several checks made out to cash for amounts ranging from $250 to $600.
While she remained suspicious, it wasnt until Aug. 8, when Thomas Nelson, a trustee at St. Marys Catholic Church, Waddington, reached out to her, and she realized what was going on.
Tom Nelson .... called to advise me that the parish priest, Monsignor Robert Lawler, had been asking other parishioners, outside of mass, for money to help a needy woman from Norfolk. People did give money and then he began asking repeatedly, so, I assume people started to talk. Why couldnt the woman go to Catholic Charities or The Bishops Fund or Social Services? It became fishy and people stopped giving to Monsignor Lawler, she said. Tom knew my mother and Monsignor are very close, and he wanted me to know what was going on.
She discovered that in the month of August alone her mother had given Msgr. Lawler $1,055 with many of the checks having TLC, short for Tender Loving Care, written on the memo line.
Ms. Cambareri said that when confronted, her mother admitted to giving the monsignor money to turn over to Zeller. She said her mother expected to be paid back.
She then reached out to thebishops office. She said Bishop Terry R. LaValley tried to intervene.
He called my mother the same day and asked her not to give Monsignor Lawler any more money, and it was a scam and fraud. My mother assured him she wasnt going to give any more money to Father (Lawler).
Ms. Cambareri also noted that her brother, John McQueeney, had spoken with Msgr. Lawler two days before she spoke with the Bishop.
My brother asked Father to stop asking my mother for money as she didnt have enough money to donate to this woman, she said. Father told my brother my mom would be paid back the following day, and he wouldnt ask her for more money.
Court documents show Mrs. McQueeney gave Msgr. Lawler more money that same week.
Ive since had a few conversations with the bishop about this situation, and he said he has spoken to Msgr. Lawler and told him to stop and he said he would, but it continues, she recalled the bishop telling her. Bishop LaValley also stated he has contacted the St. Lawrence County District Attorneys office and was told theres nothing that could be done, as there is no crime.
Mrs. McQueeney, like Msgr. Lawler, gave two statements to police.
She said it wasnt until late 2012 that she suspected she was being scammed.
During the fall of 2010, I was speaking with Father Lawler and I learned of a woman, who I later found out to be Bobbie Jo Zeller. This woman had a son who was diabetic, and I wanted to help them out because they didnt have much money, she said, adding the monsignor did not ask her for money. Father Lawler did not ask me for money, but I wanted to help them out.
Between November 2010 and January 2011, Mrs. McQueeney said she cashed out a money market account, giving money on seven different occasions that totaled $9,651.18.
Father and I expected Bobbie Jo to pay us back, she said. I assumed that Bobbie Jo would soon have access to money that she could pay us back with.
Payments Continue
Despite not being paid back, Mrs. McQueeney continued giving money to Monsignor Lawler for Zeller, all with the impression she would one day be paid back. She estimated that she gave $20,000.
I just know that she told Father Lawler she was in need, and I gave her the money through Father expecting to be paid back, Mrs. McQueeney said. I want to be paid back.
While Mrs. McQueeney realized she was being scammed before the monsignor, her realization didnt come until a visit from her son, Dr. William McQueeney, in December 2012.
It was then that I learned my above Visa credit card, with a credit limit of $7,000, was nearly maxed out. I only bought gas a few times with it. I do not know where all of the charges came from.
Ms. McQueeney says she gave Zeller her credit card number in August 2012.
I dont recall what exactly Bobbie Jo said she needed to pay, but she asked for my credit card account number. In the past, I would lend money to Bobbie Jo in amounts of about a couple hundred dollars at a time. She didnt always say what she needed it for, but led me to believe it was for medicine for her son, she said. Bobbie Jo always promised to pay me back, so when I gave my credit card number to her I never suspected that she would charge more than a couple hundred dollars to it, especially not without asking me first.
Ms. McQueeney said she had an unspoken understanding with Zeller and never once thought that she was being scammed.
I trusted her not to take advantage of me, she said.
Charges to Mrs. McQueeneys credit card included a balance transfer of $5,776.73, charges to Time Warner Cable of $158.40 and $979.29, Progressive Insurance for $380.07, Ticket Master for $522.45, Aarons Furniture for $151.98 and $903, Verizon Wireless for $724.08 and a possible cash advance from Community Bank in Waddington for $400.
Bobbie Jo is the only person who I provided my credit card number to, no one else, she said.
Excuses Abound
Mrs. McQueeneys statement also includes excuse after excuse from Zeller about why she was never repaid.
Bobbie Jo would tell me the money would be in my checking account on a Monday or a Tuesday, and when she would fail to deposit money in my account on the day she said it would be there, she would say the money will be there on another day. She said this repeatedly and the money was never repaid to me.
Much like the monsignor, Mrs. McQueeney also had a change of heart when giving her second statement to the police.
I wanted Bobbie Jo arrested for tricking me into giving her money and for using my credit card without my permission for the above purchases. I also want full restitution made to me.
Msgr. Lawler and Mrs. McQueeney are not the only alleged victims, although statements from the others were not included in Zellers court file. Included in the approximately $300,000 she is accused of stealing was $30,000 from two Norwood residents, Robert W. Dietze and his sister, Gloria J. Dietze.
Sour Deals
Court documents said she met Mr. Dietze through Facebook in June 2011 and later met his sister through him.
She contacted me because she heard I was buying snowmobiles and mopeds, he said. I gave her my number and she called me. She said she had a 2005 moped she was selling for $1,600, and I said I was interested and talked her down to $1,000.
Following that conversation, Mr. Dietze said he went to Zellers home and gave her $1,000 for the moped.
She said that the moped was in storage, and she would have to go get it, he recalled. I trusted her to get it to me, and I have never got the moped.
Still, he gave Zeller money.
Starting in summer of 2011, I began to buy her Green Dot cards at Walmart. These cards are pre-paid debit cards, he said. I began buying her one or two cards a month up until May 2012. Each time I put money on these cards in the amount of $120 to $400.
As was the case with Monsignor Lawler, Mr. Dietze says Zeller was full of stories and reasons why she needed money.
She always had different excuses why she needed these cards, he said. She told me her rent was due, that she needed money for support or she needed medication for her son.
The moped that brought Mr. Dietze and Zeller together also wasnt the first time he attempted to purchase a vehicle from Zeller.
In the summer of 2011, she also told me she was selling her 2002 Ford Explorer truck for $600 and I offered to buy it from her, he said. I gave her the money at her house. She said she still needed to use the truck, and I let her. I never received the truck or the title.
Charity Continues
Despite never receiving the truck or moped, Mr. Dietze said he continued giving Zeller money all throughout the summer, fall and winter of 2011.
I wrote checks at several businesses including Sharlows, Waynes Gas Station, Waddington IGA, North Country Oil Change and Paiges Rolling Wheel, he said. I do not know the exact amounts or dates, but I was arrested by the sheriffs department because I didnt have sufficient funds and they have the checks.
Mr. Dietze said Zeller has never paid him back any of the money and noted she always had excuses why.
She has never paid me back any money and had gave me excuses that she received a settlement, but there was a hold on the check by St. Lawrence County. She also said she needed to go to Bank of America in Syracuse to cash it.
Mr. Dietze said he continued giving Zeller money into 2012.
I also paid her electric bill at her apartment in Norfolk for several months in a row, because it was being turned off. I also remember during the winter of 2011 or 2012 Bobbie Jo got in trouble with Aarons rental in Massena, he said. She had to pay them $900 or she was going to get arrested. I went with her to Aarons and gave her the $900.
His sister had also met her and developed what she thought was a friendship with the woman.
She seemed nice and said she had a sick son. She said she was having problems paying her electric bill, car insurance, rent, cable and things like that, Ms. Dietze recalled. She asked me to borrow money and assured me she would pay it back.
According to her statement though, Ms. Dietze was given excuses on several occasions about why she could not pay back the money.
I cant count the number of times she borrowed money from me and would continuously say shed pay me back tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, Ms. Dietze said. Bobbie said she sued the St. Lawrence County Sheriffs office and was expecting a settlement of $174,000 from them. She never said why she was suing them or what for.
Ms. Dietze also recalled several other excuses Zeller presented.
Sometimes it would be because it was snowing out, or because her son was sick and she had to take him to urgent care, or her sister needed her to baby-sit.
All told, Ms. Dietze said she gave her a little more than $3,000. Ms. Dietze did note, however, Zeller had paid her $47 and bought me a couple packs of cigarettes here and there.
I want Bobbie arrested for having stolen money from me, because it is now evident to me that she never had any intention of paying me back and I have been the victim of a scam perpetrated by her to steal my money.

A Watertown man admitted Tuesday that he caused the drowning death of his 10-month-old son in August.
Michael R. Davis, 31, of 740 Cadwell St., pleaded guilty in Jefferson County Court to criminally negligent homicide. He was accused of leaving his son, Brady M. Davis, for an extended period in a bathtub with a water level that created a substantial risk of death to the child on Aug. 22. According to the police investigation, it was found that the child was unattended for about 18 minutes while Mr. Davis was on a computer in a nearby room, just out of sight of the child.
It was nothing intentional, city police Lt. Frank J. Derrigo said when Mr. Davis was charged. The fathers totally remorseful, and its unfortunate that we had to file charges against him. However, if it wasnt for his negligence, the child would not have died that night.
Mr. Davis is expected to be sentenced Sept. 17.
In other court activity:
Randy S. Kraft, 41, Hammond, pleased guilty to third-degree attempted arson and third-degree criminal trespassing. He was accused of entering Vitos Gourmet sandwich shop, 3 Public Square, about 8 p.m. May 9 and trying to start a fire by pouring kerosene in the kitchen near a stove that had an open flame. The kerosene did not ignite a fire. Mr. Kraft told police he did not mean to hurt anyone and wanted to send a message to the owner, Anthony V. Tarzia. Mr. Kraft had been dismissed from his job at the sandwich shop the week before the incident.
After pouring the kerosene, he drove to Mr. Tarzias house and told him what he had done, according to the deposition he gave police.
He is expected to be sentenced Aug. 27.
Kevin L. Riddick, 55, Watertown, was arraigned on a sealed indictment. He was charged with two counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He was held on $20,000 bail and is due to appear in court again Aug. 6 for a conference.
James Cortu, 26, an inmate at Cape Vincent Correctional Facility, pleaded guilty by mail to second-degree promoting prison contraband following an incident in which police said they found synthetic pot on a chair in the visitors room of the correctional facility in March. He was sentenced to one year of incarceration to run concurrent with the sentence he is serving.
Matthew P. Luffman, 22, Watertown, was sentenced to six months in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building followed by five years probation after pleading guilty in May to third-degree attempted sale of a controlled substance. He admitted that he tried to sell heroin within the county on Nov. 19.
Rhonda J. Thomas, 32, Watertown, pleaded guilty to third-degree attempted sale of a controlled substance. She was accused of selling heroin within the county. She is expected to be sentenced Aug. 28.
Michael A. Lowe, 31, Carthage, pleaded guilty by partial Alford plea, meaning he did not admit to all the underlying facts in the case, but was pleading guilty to avoid the possibility of being convicted of a more serious offense at trial, to third-degree burglary, fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and second-degree criminal trespassing. He was accused of breaking into the Community Bank branch on Route 3 after police found him hiding in a closet in the bank. He is expected to be sentenced Sept. 27.
Doreen J. Slocum, 26, pleaded guilty to third-degree attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance. She was accused of selling heroin in late December. She is expected to be sentenced Aug. 27.
Ingrid M. Exford, 47, Watertown, pleaded guilty to third-degree grand larceny and first-degree scheme to defraud. It was alleged by Jefferson County sheriffs detectives that while Mrs. Exford was the office manager at Nephrology Associates of Watertown PC, 19320 Route 11, she falsified business records to cover her crime of stealing patients insurance co-payments, as well as the unauthorized use of the businesss credit cards for her personal needs, with losses to the practice in excess of $27,000. She is expected to be sentenced Aug. 27.

I bought the evoshield chest and back guard for my 14 year old son. It was easy to mold and it hardened within the time stated. Just as advertised, it is comfortable to wear which is a big change from other products he wore when younger. The chest and back protector stay in place in the compression shirt and move with his body so it is no longer a struggle to get him to wear this protective item.
Pros: Great fit, comfortable, hopefully protective in the right places
Bottom Line: I would recommend to a friend
very pleased! would highly recommend it

The Carbon High Boys Basketball team has high hopes of advancing to the 3A State Tournament in February. They will need to improve their play down the stretch in Region 12 play if they want to make that goal a reality.
The Dinos split two games last week defeating Juab 59-46 at home on Wednesday before falling to North Sanpete 51-43 on Friday night.
In the win over Juab, Carbon was led by Jordan Blanc's 21 points and 10 rebounds. Derek Young added 19 points and 13 rebounds and Dakota Cisneros chipped in 8 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists.
In the loss to North Sanpete, Carbon fell behind early and the two teams played even over the rest of the game. The Dinos shot just 10-of-19 (53 percent) from the free throw line in the game.
The Dinos (8-8 overall, 1-3 Region 12) will host Delta High on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at the Carbon High Gymnasium.

- Product Details
SunTouch = Zero EMF
An emerging issue in the electric radiant heat industry is EMF (electromagnetic field) radiation. SunTouch pioneered and sells only ZERO EMF products constructed with active dual wire EMF-canceling technology.
All SunTouch products use a complex wire construction with two heating elements in parallel with an added and patented helical twist to eliminate EMF. Other electric radiant floor heating companies sell single-wire systems that release high levels of EMF when compared to SunTouch.
What is EMF? Electromagnetic fields (EMF) come from all electrical appliances, but studies show an average American's daily exposure is less than 1 unit (mG) of EMF. But. when you sit on an unshielded electric radiant floor, you may be exposed to 20, 40, or more times the average daily exposure. This Data comes from Independent testing. Read More Here
Is limiting exposure to EMF important? No one is certain. The World Health Organization says the data is inconclusive to date, but continues their research. We provide this EMF information because it is important to some people, not to frighten you or exaggerate any risk.
For many years customers have chosen SunTouch Zero EMF systems, but we leave the choice to you after explaining what we do know.

Customer Reviews
- Geat product Review by David
The installation went fine with the exception that a lead wire was cut during installation and went undetected until floor was installed. We were able to trace and repair the wire with exceptional help from Tech. Service. Not only was the product great so was the service.
Be sure to read and follow the instructions and there will be no problem. (Posted on 10/28/2013)

A budget will ordinarily consist of Direct Costs (DC) and Indirect Costs (IC)
See Basic Budget Building Tutorial (OUTDATED - awaiting revision), a Powerpoint tool that provides detailed step by step pointers on budget building. This is strongly recommended for new faculty, infrequent fliers of the proposal process, or those just seeking a refresher.
Budget construction is often the most difficult part of the proposal. The difficulty arises because research itself is unpredictable; therefore, it is often difficult to estimate the resources needed to accomplish the project. The past experience of the principal investigator should serve as a guide for correct budget estimation. If new to the process, consult with a more senior colleague or contact your OGCA Pre-award Administrator for assistance.

I doubt it. Most people (at least here) who have around 20 or more discs tend to have a couple of backups for their most used molds in the bag so they aren't screwed if they happen to lose one. They also like to be prepared even for situations that don't usually come up, just in case. I for example have 22 discs in my bag, two of which are pure utility discs, five backups, and in a normal round at my home course I perhaps throw 6 different discs. I still like to carry those extra discs for when I end up in a place that requires a different approach, the weather conditions vary or I decide to try a different line for a change. I also don't like changing my bag every time I go to a different course.Dbuntu wrote:Do you guys with ~30 discs in your bag really throw that many in an 18 hole round?
Is that something that comes with experience?

It seems that British consumers are beset by the blues at this time of year. Last January, we wrote about a commercial from The Sun newspaper in which a young girl declares that "January sucks" and suggests that we "kick January where there ain't no sun." Now Heat, which uses the tagline "Heat makes you happy," is telling readers that the magazine is "turning the most depressing month of the year into the happiest."
The effort is focused around a lighthearted petition to David Cameron to create a public holiday on the third Monday in January and call it Blue Monday. A holiday would help counteract the "recipe for national misery" that comes with bleak weather and the financial fallout of the holiday season. On this year's "Blue Monday," the brand will attempt to cheer up consumers with a "kitten cam," a live stream from a pet shelter (viewers will be able to adopt an animal too). Hey, you can't go wrong with kittens at any time of year, especially during one of the lowest points for consumer mood.

Display Lights
|All around us, display lighting works on our imaginations. It transforms the painting and the museum case, the monument and the Civil War gun case. Because there are so many uses, there are many fixtures of different shapes and sizes, and display lights that use different power sources and mount to different surfaces. Battery operated, portable and clip-on display lights, backlighting fixtures, flexible and fixed arm lights, display case lighting or showcase lighting, and picture lights all do one thing: Make your exhibited items look just as special as they are.
