MASSENA - Economic development officials are pleased to see progress on the efforts to revitalize downtown Massena after another meeting with their architectural consultant.
Daniel S. Pease, chair of the Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena board, says the various initiatives to improve Massenas downtown using $250,000 in state grants havr made tremendous progress following a meeting with the BDCs architectural consultants Rick Hauser and Nicole Martin, of In. Site Architecture.
The funds, administered through the New York State Main Street Grant Program, aim to improve the village by creating a cohesive, attractive and historically preserved downtown corridor.
What we got from the consultant was that things were coming together well with the downtown revitalization, Mr. Pease said. The committees continue to meet and theyre making tremendous progress.
After meeting with Mr. Hauser and Ms. Martin in early March, six committees were formed, each tasked with a different role in how to improve Massenas downtown. These committees are open to anyone in the community and will include a parking committee, a historic preservation committee, a code revision committee, a downtown theatre committee, a committee on forming a Main Street LLC and a committee for recruiting community members to take part in the revitalization effort.
We have good reports from all the committees. Well continue to work with them, and we just continue to work for the goals of each committee as part of the revitalization effort, Mr. Pease said.
During this weeks meetings, those committees met with Mr. Hauser to better outline their goals and strategies for reaching those goals. Mr. Hauser said the theater committee will be moving ahead on a fundraiser to help finance the renovations to Schines Theatre. Economic development officials acknowledge theres a lot of work yet to be done, with renovation work estimated at $500,000 to $750,000 required before the theater could reopen for business.
Mayor James F. Hidy said hes met with the parking committee, which has started to identify alternative parking locations in downtown Massena. Its very encouraging. People are pulling together. Theyre enthusiastic, making good friends and it will be good for the community, Mr. Hidy said.
During their visit, Ms. Martin met with property owners seeking to utilize portions of the grant to partially fund renovation work to their buildings. Property owners seeking to utilize these funds must follow a set of guidelines handed out by Mr. Hauser and Ms. Martin at the meeting in March. These guidelines include requirements for color, signage, materials, doors, windows and more.
Applications to utilize portions of the grant funds are due May 14.

BHS Defeats NCU 46-36
BURLINGTON–A twenty-one point second quarter sealed the win for the Burlington Seahorses as they edged out North Country 46-36 in girls basketball action Tuesday night.
It was 11-11 after the first, then came the disastrous second.
The girls rebounded in the second half, out scoring Burlington in both the third and the fourth, but the hole was just too big to climb out of.
Noelle Pinard continued her strong play, scoring twenty points and grabbing five boards.
"You can't say enough good things about her," said coach Brown, "She is just a pleasure to watch."
Emma Joslin had seven points, and the Falcons got contributions from the whole team, something that Brown is pleased with.
"Kelsey, Jamie, Des, Michaela, it doesn't matter who, when their names are called they are ready," said Brown.
One player who's efforts don't always show up on the score sheet is Desiree Coffin.
Brown knows Coffin's hard work this season has been a key piece of the Falcon's puzzle.
"She does a lot of the little things. She's confident when she is out there and is a big presence."
North Country got some good news this week as it looks like Anna Bingham will return from injury on Friday for the Falcons regular season finale.
Tip-off is slated for 6:30.
Make it Two in a Row for UCA
CABOT–The UCA girls made it two in a row with their 34-31 win over Cabot on Tuesday.
"It was an all out team effort," said coach Sarah Roy.
Hannah Piette led the team with ten points, followed by Laura Libby with seven, Christina Maxwell's six, Sydney Whipple with four, and Whitney Carter had three.
Olivia Foster and Kathryn Daigle each contributed two points.
The Crusaders have one game left, and will look to make it three in a row when they square off against Cabot once again on March third.
Rangers Put Out Rockets in Finale
RICHFORD – The Lady Rangers took to the road Tuesday night to face off against the Richford Rockets.
Kylie Atwood tallied 13 points, while Caylin Gallup chipped in 12 to help the blue and white run away with a 48-28 victory.
Joannah Sherrer and Erika Snyder each had 6 to pace the Rockets.
With the win, Lake Region finishes the season with a record of 11-9. They currently sit 7th in the Division 2 standings, but they will need to wait until the pairings are released on Monday to know their playoff fate.
JV Rangers Finish Perfect Season
The LR JV girls closed out their season at 19-0 Tuesday night with a 54-35 victory at Richford. After taking a 17-4 lead after one, the Rangers would find themselves outscored 16-11 in the second quarter.
"We had a little let up in the second quarter," said coach Houston, "But, the girls did a nice job of refocusing at halftime and putting it out of reach early in the third quarter." With two starters on vacation and two others limited by split time with the varsity, the Rangers showed their versatility and depth as they continued to get contributions up and down the line-up. Brooke Breault had a double-double 15 points and 10 rebounds, Amber Bernier tossed in 10 points, and Tori Adams and Michelle Thibault each added 9.

POTSDAM - A Clarkson University sorority started collecting items for those in need last semester, and even as many students went home for the summer the program continues to grow.
The students of Kappa Delta Chi collect clothing, diapers, toothpaste and other household goods, then distribute them to low-income community members who come to Trinity Church at 7 Maple St., Potsdam, on the last Saturday of every month, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
It is really something the area needs, and nobody has done it yet, said Kappa Delta Chi member Rachel A. Skavina.
Turnout varies, but the number of people seeking donations has been on the rise, Skavina said. The sorority keeps a list of 32 regular visitors and the items they need.
More and more people are getting the word, she said.
Potsdams Shirley A. Powers comes every time, picking up a large assortment of items, some for herself, many to distribute to other families she knows.
This does help me out a lot, Ms. Powers said.
Most of the sorority sisters left the north country for the summer, but a small handful of those who live locally or who decided to stay in town over break have continued to keep the program moving.
Many college students are not aware of the need in the area, Skavina said.
Were here for the semester, so you never really see the poverty, she said.
The service sororitys monthly events have given those students a chance to get involved.
Ive never really done anything that directly made a difference like this project, said Becky M. Florent, a student from Hampton, New Hampshire who is staying in the area over the summer to do research.
Kappa Delta Chi collects donations of clothing, hygiene items and household goods in boxes at several offices around the Clarkson campus, as well as Trinity Church and the Canton Social Services office.

PAWTUCKET – Follow the trail of pixie dust and it will lead you directly to the home clubhouse at McCoy Stadium.
The good times continued at the ballpark Monday night as the PawSox staged a 2-1 walk-off win over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Pawtucket trailed 1-0 heading into the bottom of the ninth before receiving a game-tying sacrifice fly from catcher Ryan Lavarnway and a game-ending RBI single by Mark Hamilton that came on a 3-2 pitch.
PAWTUCKET – Follow the trail of pixie dust and it will lead you directly to the home clubhouse at McCoy Stadium.
The good times continued at the ballpark Monday night as the PawSox staged a 2-1 walk-off win over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Pawtucket trailed 1-0 heading into the bottom of the ninth before receiving a game-tying sacrifice fly from catcher Ryan Lavarnway and a game-ending RBI single by Mark Hamilton that came on a 3-2 pitch.
Now winners of 14 of their last 16 ballgames, the PawSox were able to reduce their magic number to clinch the I.L. North to five games. It could be even lower as second-place Rochester trailed 12-3 in the sixth inning as this paper's deadline approached.
The real story on the night was starting pitcher Allen Webster. The right-hander compiled the second longest outing of his career – eight innings of one-run ball on two hits. The only mistake Webster made came in the first inning when the second batter of the game, Corey Patterson, deposited a ball into the right-field picnic area for a home run.
"From the first inning on, myself and Lavarnway were on the same page. That's all you can ask for," said Webster.
Webster struck out five and walked three. He did hit his 16th batter of the season.
Said PawSox manager Gary DiSarcina, "That was an incredible performance. When you throw like that, you're going to get a lot of guys out."
Scranton's Brett Marshall was able to stymie the PawSox batters to the tune of seven shutout innings that included nine strikeouts.
Pawtucket's rally in the ninth began with No. 9 hitter Jeremy Hazelbaker drawing a four-pitch walk. After a fake bunt attempt, Jackie Bradley Jr. lined a shot into the left-field corner for a double that placed two PawSox runners in scoring position with no outs. (Bradley ended up with three of Pawtucket's hits with Hamilton collecting the other.)
Brock Holt followed Bradley with a hit by pitch that loaded the bases with no outs. Lavarnway worked the count to 3-2 before lifting a fly ball to right field to score Hazelbaker with the tying run. Hamilton made sure that no extra innings would be played on this night as the outfielder turned on a Jim Miller pitch and lined it into right.
The win went to Jose De La Torre, who tossed a scoreless ninth inning.
Alex Wilson took a significant step forward Monday, throwing a 25-pitch bullpen that featured his entire repertoire. The right-hander hasn't been appeared in a game since Aug. 5 at Buffalo and has been on Boston's disabled list since July 9 with a right thumb sprain.
"I got what I expected out of it. I was a little rusty … first time off the mound in two weeks," said Wilson. "Pain-wise, it was tolerable where I think we can build on it. This was a step in the right direction."
Moving forward, Wilson doesn't know what the next step will entail. How he reacts to Monday's session figures to play a key role. Keep in mind that his rehab clock is set to expire this Friday.
"We'll treat (the thumb) as much as possible and hopefully it recovers quicker than what was going on earlier," Wilson said.
Added DiSarcina, "He's getting close to throwing at least one inning. I just don't know when it will be."
EXTRA BASES: One night after hitting a home run in his first game with the PawSox in roughly seven weeks, Bryce Brentz served as the team's designated hitter Monday night. According to DiSarcina, Brentz will get two days off between now and when the regular season ends next Monday. "We want to manage his playing time so he doesn't re-injure his (right knee) or hurt the other leg," said DiSarcina. "What he's done is pretty impressive as far as coming back and being ready to play." … With Brentz in the DH spot and Ryan Lavarnway behind the plate, Dan Butler and his 14 home runs spent Monday night on the bench. "For me, Butler has had a ton of at-bats, so he can have an extra day off," said DiSarcina. "We miss having Dan's bat in there, but it's good to get him an extra blow because he's been going hard for a long time." … Brandon Snyder was at McCoy Stadium for the second straight day, taking groundballs and on-field batting practice. DiSarcina said that the injured infielder – Snyder has been on Boston's DL with an elbow injury since Aug. 10 – will go through the same routine again on Tuesday with the hope that he's cleared to begin a rehab assignment not too long after. … It's worth noting that Anthony Ranaudo is listed as Pawtucket's probable pitcher for Friday night, the same night when Clay Buchholz is scheduled to make his second rehab start. … The final game of the seven-game "home and home" set with Scranton takes place tonight at McCoy with Steven Wright in search of his eighth win. The knuckleballer will be opposed by Danny Rosenbaum (7-10, 3.78). The first 3,000 fans 14 & under will receive a PawSox football.

well, I will take you at your word that your apology is sincere and while I (we) appreciate that, the damage was done and you both were banned.

'A once in a lifetime opportunity to get to carve for a carousel'
ALBANY, Ore. - Wood shavings gather at the feet of Cliff Page as he carves a creation he calls "Merv."
"Making a Griffin, they call it," he said. "Front end of it is an eagle, and the rest of it is a lion."
This is the fourth creature Page has carved for the Albany Historic Carousel and Museum.
In a non-descript beige building downtown near the river, Page and 300 other volunteers and artists work to create a menageries of 52 characters and restore a century old carousel base.
"People love carousels," said Wendy Kirbey, the president of the Albany Carousel board. "From 9 months to 90, you know, they love carousels."
The project is the ride of a lifetime for Kirbey. She got the idea in 2002.
The foundation for the new carousel is a 1909 original being pieced back together like a puzzle.
"We have pictures of them unloading it, saying 'we don't know what this is, but we're really glad to have it,'" she said of the parts.
Donations and grants are paying the bills now, and a $5 million capital campaign is in progress to raise money for a new building big enough to hold the carousel.
When do they plan to be done?
"Boy that's the question they ask me all the time," Kirbey said.
The goal is to break ground 2014 on the new building and have the carousel open by 2015. "I think this will be really healthy for the downtown," she said.
Meanwhile, 2,000 visitors per month pay a visit to the workshop at 503 1st Ave. W, where the community reaches for a brass ring by carving and painting life into a wheel of wonder.
"The visitors come in and they're just awed and that's great. Makes you feel good," Page said. "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to get to carve for a carousel anymore."

Now that the 2011 Sweets & Snacks EXPO has come in for a landing, and I've had a chance to sift through my notes scribbles, candy samples, and manufacturer marketing materials, I have a few more confectionery wunderkinds that need to be shared.
Anne Taintor and Knock Knock Chocolate Bars
The PRAIM Group
Paul Pruett, founder of the PRAIM Group, is known for producing clever chocolate bar products (Bloomsberry USA, Bubble Chocolate, and Bosco). His latest venture is the creation and distribution of 3.5-ounce all-natural milk and dark chocolate bars for the individual brands Anne Taintor, Inc. and Knock Knock.
I've been a fan of Anne Taintor's vintage/irreverent accessories for a number of years and I came to know Knock Knock stationery and accessories a few months ago while holiday shopping. I fell in love with Knock Knock's "WTF" self-inking stamp and post-it notes.
Here's a peek at both brands' designs, now appearing on chocolate bar wrappers (you might recognize the artwork):
My favorite chocolate bar in the lineup is the "99 Ways to Survive the Holidays." I may gift a few of these to myself this holiday season and follow suggestion No. 69, "Up the dosage."
According to Amy Goldsmith, a spokesperson for the PRAIM Group, the bars are shipping to retail stores as of today, so look for them on Candy.com shortly.
Dippin' Ice Cream Candy and Flix Mix
Imaginings 3, Inc. (Flix Candy brand)
When I stepped into the Imaginings 3/Flix Candy booth and saw signage for the company's new Dippin' Ice Cream Candy, I was skeptical. My kids have tapped my wallet multiple times for the expensive Dippin' Dots ice cream pellets at baseball games, so seeing the brand in a candy format didn't make me jump for joy. Plus, if I was going to pick an ice cream brand to morph into a candy, I'd lean toward Ben & Jerry's.
Even so, I plunged ahead with a sample of the Cookies 'n Cream Dippin' Ice Cream candy (it's also available in Banana Split). The product, which is made in the USA and available in a 2.6-ounce theater box and 1.6-ounce pouch, is a blend of tiny cookie bits and equally tiny cream bits—think Oreo cookie and its creamy white middle cut into teeny-tiny round dots. The Banana Split variety is blend of chocolate, banana, strawberry, and vanilla cream bits.
Bottom line, the Cookies 'n Cream Dippin' Ice Cream candy was quite a bit better than I expected. The cookie bits had a surprisingly good crunch and the creamy bits weren't sticky or too stiff. I would sneak them into the movies.
Also sneak-in worthy is Flix Candy's Flix Mix, a combination of crisp rice cereal coated with real milk chocolate and peanut butter, then dusted with powdered sugar. Flix Mix tastes remarkably like the no-bake Chex Muddy Buddies (also known as "Puppy Chow") that infiltrates most offices and cookbooks during the holidays. If you are a sweet cereal mixer, you won't be disappointed.
Flix Mix is available in a 2.2-ounce theater box and 4.5-ounce peg bag.
Shimmer Gumballs
SweetWorks (Oak Leaf Brand)
SweetWorks' new Shimmer Gumballs were one of the prettiest candies at last week's Sweets & Snacks EXPO.
Julie Davidson, the company's eastern regional sales manager, created a beautiful candy buffet table in the middle of the SweetWorks booth that showed off the pearly round gems (see pics below).
I could see these shimmering gumballs strung into garland or necklaces for parties … or displayed in apothecary jars at Tiffany's. They are that glam.
SweetWorks' Shimmer Gumballs are available in bulk in lime green (my favorite!), bright pink, lavender, powder blue, yellow, orange, and white. Starting in July, the gumballs will also be available in 8-ounce bags as part of SweetWorks' new Celebration line.
The single-color Shimmer Gumball colors match SweetWorks' line of single-color Pearl Sixlets. (See "Sixlets" jar in photo above.) Custom colors are available upon request.
Dorval Premium Collection Chocolate Sticks
Dorval Trading Co., Ltd.
Dorval Trading Co. now has its own line of all-natural chocolate sticks, which replaces the importing company's Rademaker chocolate sticks from Holland. The new Dorval Premium Collection Chocolate Sticks are made with real chocolate and are packaged in 2.64-ounce boxes fit for gifting.
Of the four varieties in this line (Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Mint Dark Chocolate, and Caramel Milk Chocolate), the Caramel Milk Chocolate sticks are the most interesting. They aren't filled with caramel, but rather the flavor is infused in the chocolate.
Normally, I'm not into flavor infusions when it comes to chocolate—give me the straight dope—but the caramel flavoring in these solid sticks isn't overpowering or cloying. The chocolate is good quality, and reminds me of Guittard's smooth milk chocolate. Perhaps it is.
The Dorval Premium Collection Chocolate Sticks are scheduled to ship July/August 2011.

Reading Study Introduction
If you're in college, you can read. But many students complain that they don't enjoy reading or that it bores them or puts them to sleep. Reading may take you too much time--time you'd rather spend on art-making. Even worse, maybe you finish the assignment and don't remember a single word! What a waste!
What's more, you may be surprised to learn that reading is NOT the same as studying. So even if you have good comprehension and a fairly accurate recollection of what you read, you could still have trouble remembering for the exam!
Paula Jawitz, our ARC reading-study specialist, helps with all these skills.
- Learn to use your textbook's organization.
- Take notes (annotate) about your reading.
- Save you time and make remember to aid concentration AND memory
- Develop mnemonics to help you pull the information you need into the part of your brain you use most often--so it's right "on top" when you need it.
- Improve both learning and test grades.
Though the name Ringling College of Art + Design may not say it, reading and study remain an important part of your education in art and design. They deepen your awareness of possibilities and history, instruct you on the technicalities of your field and make you a better informed member of the world community--in which your art will be such an important influence.
So schedule an appointment to find out ways to get the most out of your reading--including the films you watch and the web sites you visit. During a private one-hour tutorial you can learn a lot about your own learning style (also check out the VARK inventory), the techniques for marking texts and other valuable techniques. If you find the session helpful, you can come every week.

It is no secret that in the future mobile payments will be one of the largest technologies as usual mobile phones. Imagine being able to pay for your groceries without having to break out your wallet, making the entire payment processor from your unlock cell phone such as unlocked iPhone 4. The company Isys has now teamed up with popular credit card companies such as American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and visa in order to bring mobile payment technology to the masses. Overall, the technology is Artie being tested in popular cities such as Salt Lake City and Austin.
The announcement came on Tuesday that the mobile market will be looking to move closer to mobile payments, a technology that many companies have been supporting but, they have not been able to keep up with recently. Google recently debuted their upcoming Google wallet technology, which will utilize users to make mobile payments through a number of different means. So far, a number of other companies have Artie join the fray and have teamed up with the company Isys in order to bring mobile payments to the masses.
So far Sprint has not joined the group, but could be jumping on board with everything soon if everything goes as planned. The company has been looking to get as many large credit card payment companies as well as carriers into the fray as possible. It will be interesting to see if any more companies jump on board in the coming days and weeks, and which ones are going to be able to bring mobile payment technology to unlocked cell phone users such as unlocked Sony Ericsson XPERIA PLAY 3G, in a quick and timely fashion.
it is no secret that mobile payments are exactly where the industry is heading in the future, but there was a lot that needs to happen before it can become the norm. A majority of users are still not using smart phones, although that percentage is going up on a weekly basis over time. In the future you can expect most users to utilize smart devices, which will soon be moving to the mobile payment technology in the future.

adjetive. Something intended to be genuinely awesome, but is only so in its ironic appreciation. ie, something that's "so bad, it's good". Must be sincere and lacking irony in its intent. Parody, therefore, is not moonshot. It derives from the notion that it's something that's "shooting for the moon".But because it's so awful, it actually becomes awesome.Things that are moonshot usually have a cult following.
"Plan 9 from Outer Space" is classic moonshot.

The bad blood between Apple and Samsung is evidently getting worse.
Samsung recently hiked the price of the so-called application processors it builds for Apple's widgets by a hefty 20%, according to the Wall Street Journal's MarketWatch, quoting a story Monday in the Korean-language paper Chosun Ilbo, which in turn cites a person familiar with the negotiations between the two companies.
Apple is the only Samsung customer affected by the price increase. Apple's problem is Samsung's its sole source. Apple reportedly looked around but couldn't find a replacement.
Apple bought roughly 130 million of the gismos from Samsung last year and more than 200 million this year for its iPads and iPhones.
The contract runs until 2014. Apple is expected to bring the effort in-house by then but ensure that the widgets are backward-compatible.
WebRTC is about the data channel as much as about video and audio conferencing. However, basically all commercial WebRTC applications have been built with a focus on audio and video. The handling of "data" has been limited to text chat and file download – all other data sharing seems to end with screensharing. What is holding back a more intensive use of peer-to-peer data?

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

Comments about Shadow Quick Mount Classical Guitar Pickup w/Volume Control and 12 FT Cable:
The Shadow SH1900 pickup was purchased to replace a Shadow pickup which has been installed in a Yamaha G-240 Classical Guitar since 1984. The original Shadow pickup performance had deteriorated and therefore required replacement; there is no model identification on it only Shadow W Germany on the unit. This older pickup was very well constructed with a strong metal case that holds the individual string pickup elements.
Since the SH1900 was manufactured by Shadow I expected the quality, performance & physical dimensions to be the same or similar to the older unit.
Unfortunately this is not the case. The SH1900 is made with a metal support on the bottom but the rest of the pickup is plastic and not well constructed. When purchased the supplier indicated this product might not be returnable.The end of the unit where the cable plugs in is not sturdy and can probably be easily damaged in time from plugging the cable in and out.The pickup had to be shimmed upward to get the action back to the original setup and the unit had to be shimmed in the front to keep the upper part of the unit from leaning forward and to secure it. Even with front shims the top section of the unit which is not rigid still leans forward some when the Guitar is tuned up.The top section that contacts the strings is apparently a soft material and is already marked by wound string contact.In addition the unplugged instrument acoustics are effected and the string volume balance is not good.In conclusion IMHO the SH1900 is over priced and very poor quality, especially when compared to the older original Shadow pickup.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

Pull the Plug on Phantom Load
It's easy to stop phantom load from adding to your electric bill; you just have to know where to find it.
Plugged in, appliances and chargers use electricity whether they're on or not. This wasted power is called phantom load. Phantom load costs American consumers more than $3 billion a year and adds up to the output of several power plants. More than 50 percent of the electricity used to power most electronics is used while they're off. This accounts for 4 to 7 percent of every home's electricity usage. Save some green by turning off and unplugging what you can; you may be able to reduce your home's phantom load by as much as a third.
For the tangle of cords and power converters behind a stereo system and computer, get a power strip. By turning off the power strip, you'll power off all components at once.
Items most likely to have phantom load are those that:
Use remote controls – Stereos, VCRs, DVD players, window air conditioners and TVs.
Have digital displays or clocks – A clock on some appliances makes sense; a clock on others doesn't. Plugging these types of appliances into on/off switches makes better sense. If the VCR hasn't been used in a while, unplug it.
Require external power supply – Look for electronics using power cords with boxes and lights, like laptop computers, printers, video game units and modems. These power supplies usually stay on after the electronic device is off.
Use battery chargers – Some chargers stay on regardless of whether they've finished or not. Unplug a cell phone, MP3 player, laptop computer, power tools and other small rechargeable electronics when not in use.
Look for ENERGY STAR®-qualified products and others with no or low standby power consumption when replacing or buying new appliances.
New and Replacement Fireplaces
When building a traditional fireplace, install ducts around it so cool room air is drawn in and circulated around the firebox. Warmed air is ducted back into the room by convection.

Once upon a time Henrik Lundqvist was an elite goaltender.
That time was the first thirty minutes of the first game between the Rangers
and the Capitals. But then the team in front of Lundqvist let him down and
there was only so much the reigning Vezina winner can do. The Rangers played the
kind of hockey that made people believe that Winnipeg deserves to be in the
playoffs instead of them. They were slow to the puck, they were lazy, they were
not aggressive and worst of all, they wasted fantastic opportunities.
They came out weak and they returned weak as the Capitals
absolutely ran rampant over the former Eastern Conference Champions. The
Rangers seemed to completely forget the game that got them this far. Every
single play was as casual as you could imagine. They Capitals were so dominant
in the first period that it was nothing short of a miracle that the Rangers
came out in the lead. But, as the Rangers have done time and time again, the
team in we cheer for is nothing short of an embarrassment. In the second
period, the Rangers gave up three goals. Last year the Rangers made history by
never giving up three goals in the first 16 games. And they never gave up this
much in the regular season to the Capitals all year.
Nash made his sophomore playoff appearance and was a ghost.
Even though Gaborik is gone, Nash is fitting into the role of "disappearing in
the post season" just fine. He needs to start acting like the player who we
gave up so much for. Former Conn Smythe winning Richards did absolutely nothing
to silence the critics that he should be bought out next year.
Just like when the
Rangers faced the Panthers, they have this tendency to make mediocre
goaltenders look like Patrick Roy. Holtby should not be giving this team the
fits; but when every single goal is right into his glove, it is not tough to
look like a Conn Smythe winner.
This team needs to get back to doing what they do best. They
need to be aggressive on the forecheck. They need to not give into the
Washington fans who have not watched a hockey game before 2008. They need to
just shoot everything. They cannot afford to get suckered into cheap penalties.
The Caps are a smart and chippy team. They need to play smart hockey. They
literally need to do the opposite of everything they did in game one.
Whether it was with the extra attacker at the end of the
game or the extended 5-on-3, the Rangers were never able to take the game over.
They gave too much credit to a much untested Holtby. The shots they put up were
easily stoppable or easily blockable. The only puck that was put passed Holtby
was the only tough shot he faced all night. He is not that good; and more importantly,
the Rangers are better than the team we saw.
The Rangers need to get to their roots. They need to get
down into the trenches and treat these games like the acts of war they are. Now
is not the time to be scared of blocking shots. Now is not the time to take,
literally, pointless penalties. Now is not the time for Callahan, Stepan, and
Nash to disappear.
The Rangers can still come out and take this season back.
The Rangers defense can tighten up and force out the Capitals' big guns. The
Rangers can stop with the lazy plays and start to play real playoff hockey.
Outside of one awful, abysmal, atrocious 10 minutes, the Rangers could have
stolen this game. They now continue this series as the clear underdogs. If the
players who were brought in to score goals start to score goals, then this
series is ready for the Rangers to take and move on.

As the season continues to progress, so does the Dinos' position in the region standings.
The Carbon High Boys Golf team traveled to Nephi to play their sixth region match at Juab's home course. Going into the match the Dinos were in third place as far as region standings, trailing Payson by eight shots.
After the match the Dinos are now in second place with a one shot lead over Payson. The team finished second at the match once again behind Spanish Fork.
Head coach Tom King said he was very proud of his players.
"They played well and fairly solid," said King.
Dillen Ward once again led the way for the Dinos shooting a five over par 77. Robbi Etzel shot an 80 followed by Blake Bean (82), Freston Smith (83), Nick Rukavina (87) and Dallas Anselmo (89).
"Our kids have always been told if we can shoot 320 or lower as a team we will do very well and they proved that today. If we could shoot 320 or better every match we would be in second by a long ways," King said.
Spanish Fork won the match shooting a 309. Carbon finished in second shooting 322 followed by Payson (331), Juab (337), North Sanpete (341) and Delta (348).
The Region 12 standings currently have Spanish Fork in first with a shot total of (1876), Carbon in second with a total of 1994. They are followed by Payson (1995), N. Sanpete (2035), Juab (2050) and Delta (2122).

HAMBURG, NY - A man fled from the scene after crashing his vehicle on Old Lake Shore Road near Crescent Terrace at about 3 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
Officers from the Hamburg Police Department said they followed him to a nearby beach but the man refused to stop for them. He kept right on walking into the waters of Lake Erie.
Police had called Air One for assistance and while the man was distracted, shouting imprecations at the helicopter operator, a Hamburg police officer grabbed him.
Charges are pending, a spokesman for the department said. It's believed alcohol may have been a factor in the incident.

In the Thursday, Feb. 17, issue of the Sun Advocate, there was an article about gas prices increasing. I would guess the person who wrote the article has never left the office or home.
I am a person who travels across the United States and extensively in Utah. I beg to differ with the person because he or she is out in left field somewhere.
Having paid $171.9 for gas in Salt Lake on Feb. 18 and $165.9 in Ogden on Feb. 10, I would think that prices have gone down a lot since Jan. 1. Prior to then the prices were in the $1.80s in the same towns. So if they are lower, that tells me they have gone down.
I have seen the same in Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.
Please ask your contributors to quit reading internet sites that just give off anything to cause argument and to start researching their information.
Enough said.

|Assessment of Horn In The West Facilities Asked
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 10 September 2013 07:17
The Boone Cultural Resources Board yesterday voted to ask the Boone Town Council to again look at the facilities of the Daniel Boone Theater, home of Horn in the West for over 60 years. After a presentation showing troubles with the aging facility—bathrooms, showers,
storage areas and more, the board voted to have the town seek professional assessment of the facilities, an assessment that would lead to recommendations of repairs and renovations that could be phased in over a number of years. The issue comes as the Cultural Resources Board takes on the task of deciding how licensing of town facilities would work for both the town and groups like the Southern Appalachian Historical Association, who puts on Horn in the West and use town-owned facilities. The board also voted to ask for funds raised as part of the work of the Cultural Resources Board remain in their coffers to give them some working funds for projects—that instead of having funds left over at the end of the fiscal year returning to the general fund. Hopes are to have the matters before the Town Council in their next meeting.

One of the great ironies at Adventure Cycling is that one of the most unpleasant sections of our legendary TransAmerica Trail is the 8-mile stretch between Lolo, Montana, and our home base in Missoula, Montana. We routinely get pleas from visiting cyclists: "Can you fix that #@*&%# part of the route?" Well as of last week, we can answer: "Yes, we have a fix!"

Carol A. Paluck has been selected to be the director of patient services for Jefferson County Public Health Service.
The resident of Constableville, Lewis County, was selected from among nine applicants and will begin her new job Monday. She said she is looking forward to taking the position, which has a focus on home-based services and long-term health care.
Its something Im familiar with, she said.
Public Health Service Executive Director Ginger B. Hall said Mrs. Palucks many years of experience as hospice coordinator, prevention supervisor and interim director of Lewis County Public Health would fit well with the director of patient services position.
Aside from the home-based and long-term care services, Mrs. Paluck will be responsible for oversight of maternal/child health visits and prevention- nursing clinical services.
Part of that is keeping up with all of the changing rules regarding home care, especially with changes of health care reform, Mrs. Hall said. We participate with the New York State Home Care Association, and they keep us up to date on whats going on.
Mrs. Paluck will assist the agency in working toward attainment of accreditation, which focuses on quality improvement, Mrs. Hall said.
Mrs. Paluck commended Jefferson County officials for organizing her new position in an efficient way to manage such services.
I think this was probably a good move on their part, she said.
The director of patient services position currently is filled on an interim basis by former Director Jean A. Bilow. Ms. Bilow will work with the agency through this month to help with the transition.
Mrs. Paluck, who worked at the Lewis County Public Health Agency for the past 29 years, was named interim director of that agency in February 2009 and was appointed to the director post in March 2011. The appointment was made contingent on her obtaining a masters degree, on which she is still working.
Following Mrs. Palucks April 19 resignation, Lewis County legislators named Penny A. Ingham, longtime executive director of the North Country Prenatal/Perinatal Council, as the interim public health director.
The Lewis County agency essentially was cut in half in January when its home health care and hospice programs, and 20 employees in those programs, were moved under the auspices of Lewis County General Hospital, Lowville.
Mrs. Hall said Mrs. Paluck will go through an orientation process, which should last about four weeks.
Another agency management position supervising public health nurse is open, but Mrs. Hall said she is not recruiting for that position yet.

On Thursday, April 18, the Michigan House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill prohibiting state agents and law enforcement from participating with the federal government in the indefinite detention of its citizens.
By a vote of 109-0, state representatives joined their colleagues in the state senate in protecting citizens of the Wolverine State from being apprehended and detained in federal prisons without trial. The state senate unanimously approved an identical measure in March.
Representative Tom McMillin (R-Rochester Hills), the primary sponsor of HB 4138, spoke out in favor of his bill. "We're standing up for the rights of people in Michigan," McMillin said. "Due process should be a no-brainer."
It should be, but it isn't. Not anymore.
The Michigan bill is a direct nullification of provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that purport to authorize the president to deploy the U.S. military to apprehend and detain American citizens inside the United States suspected by the president of aiding enemies of the homeland.
Sections 1021 and 1022 of the 2012 NDAA purport to grant to the president the power to deploy the U.S. armed forces to apprehend and detain any person he suspects of aiding al-Qaeda or "associated forces." Anyone imprisoned under these provisions will be denied their rights under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments, including the right to due process and the right to assistance of counsel.
With regard to the latter, in 2011, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) infamously told anyone who may be detained indefinitely, "Shut up! You don't get a lawyer!"
If states are to perform their obligation to stand as bulwarks of liberty, lawmakers must stand and refuse to allow Senator Graham, President Obama, or any other agent of the federal government to deprive citizens of those rights given to them by God and protected by the Constitution.
The most potent weapon in the state arsenal against federal tyranny is nullification. Nullification occurs when a state holds as null, void, and of no legal effect any act of the federal government that exceeds the boundaries of its power as drawn in the Constitution.

On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.
It rolled in the garden,
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball,
Was nothing but mush.
The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And then the next summer,
It grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze.
Remember, brethren and sistern, once found, the FSM is never truly lost to you, nor you to his noodly appendages.
