The Cold Springs prescribed burn on the Tavaputs Plateau is over. Now local crews are keeping watch over the embers to make sure there are no unexpected flareups.
"The dead and down timber was completely consumed," said Jason Curry, spokesman for the state Division of Fire, Forestry and Public Lands. He added that landowners are happy with the firebreaks created. This means that when a wildfire does break out, it will be more easily controlled.
The fire also removed intrusive subalpine fir trees so that aspen can propagate in years to come, improving habitat for deer and elk.

LOWVILLE Lewis County General Hospitals long-discussed dialysis project has received a $300,000 boost from the state.
Obviously, we appreciate any support we can get from any of our funding sources, said Eric R. Burch, CEO at the county-owned hospital. It will lessen the debt load we have to carry.
Empire State Development Corp. awarded $300,000 toward the project as part of last weeks regional economic development funding announcement.
The center will provide a local treatment option for Lewis County residents who now must travel to Watertown or Utica to receive dialysis. Up to 30 dialysis patients in Lewis County typically undergo four-hour treatments three days a week.
The state Department of Health in early 2011 approved a certificate of need for DaVita Inc., Buffalo, to operate a dialysis clinic on Lewis County General Hospitals North State Street campus, and hospital officials held a groundbreaking ceremony in March in the hope of commencing the project by next year.
The hospital is proposing to build a $1 million, 7,200-square-foot addition off the west side of the Medical Arts Buildings first floor and basement to accommodate the dialysis center. Upon completion of the building shell, the hospital would turn it over to DaVita, which would do the interior finish work.
The Lewis County Hospital Foundation has been raising funds for the project for the past several years, and hospital officials continue to seek grant funding from other sources, Mr. Burch said.
The balance of construction costs likely would be covered through bonding by the county.
Attorneys for the hospital and DaVita are still ironing out details on a 10-year lease agreement for the proposed dialysis facility, but hospital officials continue to anticipate completion some time in late 2013.
County legislators in 2006 and 2007 supported certificate-of-need submissions that would have allowed Renal Care of Northern New York, Watertown, to set up a dialysis operation here, but those plans never came to fruition.
Faxton St. Lukes Healthcare, Utica, in fall 2009 submitted another certificate-of-need application. However, by the time the project received state approval, Faxton St. Lukes officials had decided not to move forward, leaving local officials searching for another partner. They found one last year in DaVita, a company based in Denver that operates similar centers throughout the country.
Lawmakers on Thursday voted 10-0 to keep contracting with Wladis Law Firm, East Syracuse, for government liaison services through the end of June at a retainer of $500 per month.
Legislator Richard C. Lucas, R-Barnes Corners, chairman of the legislative Economic Development Committee, after the meeting credited the firm which has been under contract with the county since May with helping to secure the ESD grant and seek additional funding for dialysis and other county projects.

Women's soccer defeats ETSU 1-0 in overtime

Brandi Besheres
Friday, October 03, 2008
Midfielder Kate Spellman got the free kick and forward Brandi Besheres got the goal.
With a 1:15 left to play Beshere's headed Spellman's shot into the bottom right corner of the net to give the Lipscomb Lady Bisons a 1-0 win over ETSU Friday afternoon in Johnson City. It was the first Atlantic Sun win of the season for the Lady Bisons and only their third in the history of program.
"It was awesome," said Lady Bisons coach Jon Ireland. "They had a big crowd at the game because they were also playing a men's game. When we scored it got deathly quiet."
It marked the second time they have beaten an A-Sun team on the road. The last time it happened was Oct. 26, 2007 in a 2-1 victory at North Florida in Jacksonville.
"We played really well," said Ireland. "It was tremendous to win, especially to get a win on the road in the A-Sun."
For the Lady Bisons it was also a vindication as well. Against Belmont they had allowed the tying goal with approximately nine minutes left to play and lost 3-2 in overtime. Against Campbell they fell 1-0, allowing a goal in the final 10 minutes.
"ETSU is one of the better teams in the conference," Ireland said. "This win should really give us some confidence. We have been so close in so many games. I was beginning to wonder if things were ever going to go our way.
"We talked before the game. We said that if we wanted to get into the conference tournament we were going to have to step up. We can't settle for moral victories."
Spellman, a sophomore, led the Lady Bisons with three shots. Halie Proffitt, a sophomore forward, led with two shots on goal.
Goalkeeper Katie Shelton made nine saves on the way to the shutout, her second of the season. ETSU made 21 shot attempts overall.
The Lady Bisons had nine shots overall, six shots on goal.
"One thing we did a really good job of was eliminating quality shots by ETSU," Ireland said. "Katie made two or three real good saves. But the big difference between our team last year and this year is that we aren't giving up as many quality shots."
The Lady Bisons are 3-7-1 overall, 1-2 in the A-Sun. ETSU fell to 3-6-0, 1-2 in the conference.
Sunday afternoon the Lady Bisons continue their road trip to the east with stop at USC-Upstate at noon.

Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 04/21/06, 04:56am:
The Clippers' roster is choked with several relatively defenseless players: Brand, who can block shots coming to the ball from the weak side but can't guard anybody one on one who comes equipped with aggressive spin moves. Brand is too hungry to block shots and is easily faked off his feet. Also, Brand is frequently guilty of making tardy rotations and has difficulty in defense of high S/Rs.
That's fair, for the most part. The farther you pull Brand (and I'd add Kaman) away from the basket, the less effective he is. We all love EB's game, but he's part of the festering problem on rotations when opponents spread the floor against the Clippers. His failure to step out on Ron Artest in the April 8 game against Sacramento was arguably the pivotal defensive lapse for the Clips down the stretch in that game.
Both Mobley and Casell [sic] are awful defenders, with the latter being one of the worst at his position in the league. Kaman, like Brand, is much better closing on a shot than he is guarding anyone straight up. (Chris Wilcox also has the same tendencies.) Quinton Ross and James Singleton are often confused on defense.
Even though Maggette is the Clips' only outstanding defender, the team compensates by sagging into the lane and forcing opponents to shoot over their compacted defense. This strategy might prove fatal to the Nuggets' chances of advancing, since DerMarr Johnson, Greg Buckner and Earl Boykins are their only reliable 3-point shooters...
Maybe Rosen hasn't gotten a chance to watch Ross defend night in and night out, but Q is among the most complete defenders at the 2/3 that I've seen this season. "Often confused on defense" is a stretch for Singleton - who's been particularly effective on D down the stretch -- and an outright misstatement for Ross. I'd also add that Mobley has surprised me. Look, he's not a defensive maven, but he's a league-average on-ball defender. The only time he was badly outmanned this year was when Dunleavy played him at the 3, an experiment that was quickly vanquished.
If Rosen wildly underestimates Q's defensive prowess, he's far too kind to Maggette. As we've discussed here before, Maggette plays some smothering on-ball defense and is solid in getting back in transition, but is as culpable as anyone for the Clips' poor rotations in the half-court. Off-the-ball, he leaves much to be desired.
And I don't know if Rosen reads the wire, and maybe what he means to imply is that Wilcox's similar tendencies were what got him shipped out of town, but doesn't that Weezie reference throw you for a loop? Is Rosen aware that Wilcox isn't on the Clipper roster?
It's entirely possible I'm a shameless homer - though I've documented the recent Clipper defensive lapses as extensively as anyone - but it seems to me that a team that ranks 8th in the league in Defensive Efficiency (opponents points per 100 possessions), 4th in the league in opponents FG%, 1st in blocks, 3rd on the defensive glass can definitively be called a pretty good defensive squad, whether or not they have a bevy of top-tier one-on-one defenders.

Operators at Oyster Creek Generating Station manually took the station's generator off line at about 5 p.m. tonight.
Forked River, N.J. - Operators at Oyster Creek Generating Station manually took the station's generator off line at about 5 p.m. tonight.
Operators began a controlled shut-down of the reactor at 8 a.m. today due to the expected hurricane force winds from Hurricane Irene.
By procedure, Oyster Creek is required to shut down if sustained winds reach a certain level during a hurricane. For this reason operators proactively, deliberately and slowly began the shutdown in anticipation of the storm's arrival to ensure the plant was in a safe condition.
"Although we cannot predict with certainty whether we will see those wind speeds on the plant site, based on current weather projections and because of Oyster Creek's proximity to Barnegat Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, it is prudent to safely shut down the plant in advance," said Site Vice President Michael Massaro.
Also as a precautionary measure in advance of the storm, a team of highly trained and qualified personnel are stationed at the plant throughout the weekend to take actions beyond their usual duties to protect the plant, personnel and the public.
Oyster Creek is about 60 miles east of Philadelphia in Ocean County, New Jersey. The plant produces 636 net megawatts of electricity at full power, enough electricity to supply 600,000 typical homes, the equivalent to all homes in Monmouth and Ocean counties combined. In addition, plant workers, through their payrolls, are responsible for more $96 million injected directly into New Jersey's economy.

Viral Hepatitis can be difficult to understand because of the variety of problems and diseases of the liver which are referred to, collectively, as "Hepatitis." If someone's liver has been damaged by medical treatment such as chemotherapy, overuse of some over-the-counter medicines such as acetaminophen, or by drinking alcohol to excess, they may be said to have "hepatitis." The damage to health from these kinds of hepatitis can be severe, and sometimes fatal. These illnesses cannot be spread to another person (they are not infectious), but they can have symptoms similar to those shared by persons with viral hepatitis. Only viral Hepatitis can spread from one person to another by a variety of means.
There are five types of Hepatitis, but only three predominate in the Untied States:
Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C
If you have been diagnosed with Hepatitis, your health provider will have informed you as to which type of Hepatitis it is and whether you remain infectious or not. There are important differences between the types of Viral Hepatitis. In all cases, the liver has been put under stress and should not be put in further danger by drinking alcoholic beverages or taking acetaminophen products (such as Tylenol ).
Hepatitis B and C may be prevented by:

All-Oregonian platoon reunited: 'These guys are my brothers'
EUGENE, Ore. -- After 45 years apart, the only all-Oregon member platoon that trained during Vietnam spent a day together.
When the Tet Offensive was launched in January of 1968, it marked a turning point in the lives of 78 young Oregonians.
Ken Norwood enlisted in the marines during the height of the Vietnam War. He was among the 80 men sworn into Oregon's only all-state platoon by former governor Tom McCall.
"Well, we were extremely close ... the one thing the marine corps taught us was to work as a team and depend on each other," Norwood said.
78 of these recruits trained, endured and completed two months of rigorous training only to be sent off to different parts of the world. Saturday marked the first time the group had been all together since their training.
"Society had a tendency to disenfranchise some of these guy who were over there, and most of us wanted to get on with our lives when we got back," explained John Fotheringham, one of the Oregon platoon members.
In spite of the distance and time, Norwood wanted to try and bring everyone back together.
"From time to time I wondered what happened to these guys and it was a thought that was boiling for years," Norwood said. "I was able to do enough research to find several of them."
So after 45 years apart this band of brothers came together at Armatage Park for a day of reacquainting and remembering.
Many of the old platoon still live inside state lines, like Bill Randolph who came from his home near Cascade Lakes.
"I'd like to find out what happened to find out what the other guys have done with themselves ... how they're getting along ... how many survived '68 to '72," said Randolph.
While there were fewer faces at the reunion, the sentiment was the same for all in attendance. They'll be sure to never lose touch with one another from here on out.
"It gave us something no one else could give you...and even today these guys are my brothers...that's it," Norwood said.

POTSDAM Work on the first phase of the Potsdam Central School Districts $18 million capital project is nearly complete, but the roofing project will extend into the beginning of the school year.
This will probably progress into mid-September on both buildings, according to Project Manager Bob Williams, who noted work on the bus garage also will continue into September.
Phase I of the project includes $1.9 million in roofing repairs at the high school, bus garage, elementary school and on a small portion of the middle school, where most of the roof was replaced in the districts last project.
We hope to have the roof membranes on by the 23rd of this month, Mr. Williams said.
And while there has been a lot of rain this summer, Mr. Williams said the project isnt that far behind schedule.
Rain and roofing projects dont always go together, but were pretty much on track, he said. All of the ground work will be completed before school starts. Everything should be cleaned up.
Although work on the roofs will continue into the school year, Mr. Williams said, hes not expecting noise to be a factor.
The noisiest thing will probably be a cordless drill, he said, explaining crews will have all of their materials and tools on the roof prior to the start of the school day each morning.
It will be beneficial to them to make sure noise isnt a factor, he said.
Should noise become a distraction for students inside the buildings, Mr. Williams said, crews will have to work later into the day.
If it becomes a problem, they will have to work second shift, and Im sure they would rather work the first shift, he said.
Phase I of the project also included work on a crawl space at Lawrence Avenue Elementary to improve drainage and ventilation there.
But the majority of the work is replacing 186,000 square feet of roofing on the bus garage, high school and elementary school.

What a difference a month can make. Last month, a majority of Americans said they liked the job President Barack Obama was doing leading this country. Today, that's no longer true, according to the latest CNN/ORC International poll.
In May, according to the pollsters, 53 percent of Americans said they approved of Obama's performance, and 45 percent disagreed. Now, 54 percent say our Teleprompter in Chief is doing a poor job, while 45 still support him.
The overall decline in his approval rating was partially fueled by a plunge in support from younger Americans, a huge base of Obama's support.
Last month, nearly two-thirds of those in the 18-29 age group gave the president a thumbs up. His approval rating among that bracket fell 17 points in Monday's poll and now stands at 48%.
And it isn't just Obama's personal popularity that has suffered. In every category that was measured, Americans have become more negative about Obama's leadership:
• The number who thinks he's doing a good job on the economy fell by 2 points, from 44 percent who supported him in April to just 42 percent today.
• Obama's handling of foreign affairs has also taken a hit, with his support here dropping from 49 percent in April to 44 percent today.
• Approval of his leadership on immigration is down even more, falling from 44 percent in April to just 40 percent, according to the CNN pollsters.
• Americans have an even lower opinion of Obama's leadership on our deficits. His approval fell from 38 percent in April to 34 percent today.
• The scandal over the government's surveillance of Americans' phone calls and emails has also hurt the president. Just 35 percent say Obama is doing a good job here, while 61 percent disagree.
And it isn't just Obama's leadership on important national issues that has taken a hit. Our trust in the man personally has also fallen, according to the poll. Last month, 58 percent of respondents said that Obama was honest and trustworthy. Now, that number has dropped to 49 percent. (Among my friends, the number is closer to zero.)

SALT LAKE CITY - Nearly 150 Utah soldiers left Salt Lake City Wednesday morning, bound for their Afghanistan deployment. They departed amidst a ceremony marked by equal parts sadness, patriotism and pride.
The soldiers were with the Utah National Guard's 624th Engineer Company, 204th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade. The unit included troops from Castle Country, as well as the Uintah Basin, Richfield and other communities around the state. The unit is based in Springville.
They will train in Ft. Bliss Texas before going to Afghanistan. There, the troops will help in construction of buildings and other structures in the U.S. Central Command area as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Wednesday's departure ceremonies were held in a hangar at the Utah Air National Guard base in Salt Lake City. Thousands of family members and friends came to wish their soldiers farewell and safe journeys.
Service members hugged their loved ones and children and spouses wept and clutched one another as the reality of the year-long deployment set in.
Norval and Delores Jones of Bear Lake came to see their grandson, Capt. Christopher Vernon, off. It was Vernon's first deployment, they said.
"That's one good bunch of kids," Norval Jones said of the 624th. "It's too bad we have to send them so far away."
Sgt. Brett Harris of Roosevelt spent the time before the ceremony began playing with his children, Emma, 3, and Gavin, 8, and spending time with his wife, Pat. He said his family was handling the deployment as well as could be expected in such a situation.
"This isn't her first rodeo," Harris said of Pat.
Harris has deployed twice before, both times to Iraq.
Some of the soldiers, like Harris, had deployed previously, but this was the first deployment for the 624th as a unit, said Lt. Col. Hank McIntire, public affairs officer for the Utah Army National Guard.
After a series of short speeches from commanders such as Brig. Gen. Brian Tarbet, and a closing prayer by the chaplain, soldiers had a few minutes to spend saying goodbye to their families.
Then they went to the tarmac, reported for duty, and boarded their chartered airplanes, their families separated from them by a rope line. From there, waving to each other was the best they could do.
The planes left into the blue sky, leaving the families behind to wait for a year for the planes to bring their soldiers back.

The Hill subdivision moved one step closer to becoming a reality Tuesday at the Price River Water Improvement District meeting.
A final draft of an agreement between developer Dick Lee and the board was approved March 16 after months of ongoing discussion.
Several modifications have been made to the agreement during the past several months, preventing the project from moving ahead.
PRWID chairman Keith Cox suggested that approval be postponed until the next session in two weeks since not all requirements could be accomplished in the time between district meetings.
However, Lee said he felt action on the matter had been delayed too many times and he wanted to leave the meeting with the knowledge that the Tuesday meeting was a turning point.
"I don't know why we would sit on it for two weeks," commented Lee. "I've walked out of here too many times and think it is it and it is not. I want to know this language is acceptable."
PRWID legal adviser Nick Sampinos indicated that the agreement was in final form and the board could grant approval, subject to the remaining items being completed.
In the end, the board voted to approve the final draft of the agreement, contingent on all requirements being met.
Cox said he was glad to see the agreement reach the point of approval.
"I think we all are," pointed out Lee.
Addressing an unrelated agenda item, the board reviewed a project which has been cause for complaint by several county residents.
A sewer extension the water improvement district has undertaken from 750 West to 11 North has left damaged road and incovenience for those living in the area.
Water improvement district manager Phil Palmer spoke with county lawmakers during the last commision meeting. Palmer wanted to make the group aware that PRWID is doing the district's best to finish the project and minimize the obstruction.
"The district is aware that we have destroyed the road from 11 North through the end of the street," Palmeradvised the county commisioners. "Unfortunately, when you're working on a sewer line that's 10 feet deep, there's gonna be some inconvenience."
"We'll do our best to minimize it. I would just hope that we could work with the county as best we can," added the PRWID manager.
The district will repair the road as soon as construction is completed, concluded Palmer.

The Dane Per Lygum began his career working for the animation studio of Børge Ring, Bjørn Frenk Jensen and Arne Rønd Christensen in Copenhagen at the age of 16. He followed Ring and Jensen to the Netherlands in the 1950s to work at the animation department of the Toonder studios. He was mainly involved in animated advertising films and his film for Stimorol chewing-gum was awarded in France.
For a while, he drew the one-page gag strip 'Planckton' in KRO Studio (1971-1973). At the time, he was already pioneering in animation with the computer. Lygum eventually left the Toonder studios, and began his own firm at the Heerengracht in Amsterdam. When this company folded, he moved to Germany, where he worked as a director until his death in the 1990s.

First of all, Mr. Hodges, you spelled "Muslim" incorrectly. Secondly, I don't feel any worse having a "Muslem sleeper" as CiC than I did having a former coke-addict, yet "born-again" Evangelical Christian, war criminal as CiC. Finally, and most importantly, thank you for your service to our country to protect your, and my, freedom of speech.
Charlie, Point well made about the previous CiC.. I often wonder how we survive as a nation considering the leaders we select, but great citizens made, and keep our nation great. Jim.
Shawn, remember, it is the Commander IN Chief who determines how many millions of men we deploy worldwide. The military just obeys. Just my 2cents worth from a Korea War combat vet.
I wonder how many bombs it has to hold to be called an FB-35? Doesn't look like they are at hover yet.
They've been flight testing this stupid thing for over a decade. God forbid we spend money to help poor people.
The problem isn't only with the F-35, it's the whole mentality of having a military presence on every side of the globe. Meanwhile the dollar drops, the debt reaches 16 trillion, literacy rates fall lower than most of the world, and congress takes months just to pass a single law. The government/military needs to go back to the objective of defending their country and improving it, not deploying half a million troops overseas.
How do you like having a Muslem "sleeper"as CIC?????!!!!!!

It has recently been revealed that Vice President Joe Biden does not just depend upon the Secret Service to protect him and his family — he is also the agency's landlord.
"Since April, Mr. Biden has collected more than $13,000 from the agency charged with protecting him and his family for use of a rental cottage adjacent to the waterfront home he owns in a Wilmington, Del., suburb," read an article for The Washington Times.
"Edwin M. Donovan, special agent in charge at the Secret Service's Office of Government and Public Affairs in Washington, said the agency pays $2,200 in rent per-month, the same amount a previous tenant had paid before moving out."
According to the article, the Secret Service believes that occupying the cottage affords a "level of security for the Biden family the agency might not have had otherwise."
"He should be afforded every single protection available to him and his family, as should every vice president and president," said Leslie Paige, spokeswoman for the Washington-based Citizens Against Government Waste, in an interview with the newspaper. "You'd think the vice president, who shepherded the deficit committee, would think twice about charging the Secret Service rent. Why would he need the money? I don't get it."
According to the article, Biden's mother lived in the cottage until her death in January 2010. On the contract, Biden is not listed as the Vice President, but reportedly as "vendor" — technically making him a Federal contractor.

Game Notes
Friday, November 06, 2009
by Trevor Garrett
The Game
The Lipscomb University Lady Bisons (0-0, 0-0 A-Sun) host NCAA Division II Harding (0-0, 0-0 Gulf South) in their first of two exhibitions before the start of the 2009-10 season. Game time is 1:00 p.m. (CT) in Allen Arena.
Lipscomb returns 4 starters and 11 of their 14 letterwinners from last year's team that went 6-24. The Lady Bisons were 5-10 in Allen Arena last year.
Lipscomb is lead by junior guard Jenna Bartsokas. She averaged 11.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists last year. Junior Cree Nix will anchor the post for the Lady Bisons against Harding. She grabbed 7.5 rebounds per game last year and scored 7.9 points per game.
Harding returns five players from its squad that went 20-10 last year and finished fifth in the Gulf South Conference West Division. Harding is led by senior Stacey Owens who averaged 16.1 points per game last year. Owens was named to the preseason All-Gulf South Conference team.
Last year Lipscomb defeated Harding 84-66 in their second exhibition of the season. Five Lipscomb players scored in double figures led by Bartsokas with 15. She also added six steals and four rebounds. Owens posted team highs with 21 points and 8 rebounds for Harding.
The last time Harding defeated Lipscomb was in an exhibition in Allen Arena on Nov. 9, 2006. Harding won 69-62 with a strong shooting game from the 3-point line.
Run and Gun
Returning just 37.4 points of offense from last year's team, Lipscomb coach Frank Bennett would like to see his team play a faster and more up tempo game this year. Bennett is challenging his team to shot in the first 10 seconds of a possession. But if there is not a great shot, he has instructed his team to be patient and work for a quality shot.
Poll Action
Lipscomb was picked in the preseason coaches poll to finish 10th in the Atlantic Sun. The Lady Bisons were picked to finish 11th in the A-Sun in the preseason media poll.
Departing Players
The Lady Bisons lost three players to graduation last year. Jilian Partin started all 30 games last year scoring 10.2 points per. She also grabbed 6.3 boards per contest.
Lipscomb also lost posts Katie Rollins and Miriam McAlister. Rollins averaged 4.7 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. She played in 28 contests, starting nine. McAlister saw limited action due to injuries. She averaged 4.2 points and 3.3 rebounds in 17 games.
Newcomers Welcome
Lipscomb adds four freshman to this year's squad. Wings Hannah Phillips and Morgan Faulkner along with posts Chelsea McMeans and Kaitie Fritts are expected to all play critical roles for the Lady Bisons this year.
Phillips is a 5-11 wing from Brentwood High School in Brentwood, Tenn. She was named to the All-Region and All-District teams her senior year and was named to the 2009 TSSAA TACA All-Star Team.
Faulkner is a 5-9 wing out of Madison Academic Magnet in Jackson, Tenn. She was an All-State selection her freshman, sophomore, and senior years. She set her school's records for points scored (2,440), rebounds (835), and blocks (260).
McMeans is a 6-2 post from LaVernia High School in LaVernia, Texas. She was a unanimous selection as district Defensive Player of the Year her senior year. She was also named to the TABC All-Region Team and was an All-State All-Academic student-athlete.
Kaitie Fritts is a 6-1 post from Central Hardin High School in Elizabethtown, Ky. She was an All-State honorable mention and was named the 5th Region Player of the Year.
Experienced Coaching
The Lady Bisons are coached by Frank Bennett. He is in his 30th year as the head coach at Lipscomb. Bennett has amassed a record of 563-369 (.604) in his tenure. Bennett was the 2003 Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year. He was also the 1996 and 1999 WBCA NAIA Coach of the Year. Bennett was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame in 2002.

By Dale KingPrice
This letter is in response to the guest column written by Donald Kaul on 4-26-11 (Sun Advocate).
We Are Not Hostages!
I read his letter with both amazement and disgust. He talks so eloquently of how the tea party people of this great nation are "string savers and tin foil collectors". In a literal sense, so what if they are. Is it bad to want to save resources and not waste good items for the sake of being chic? But more to the point, the super liberals have tried to turn the word conservative into a dirty word. I don't know how they have been educated to believe the people or the country can just spend forever and keep borrowing more and more.
In my personal finances there is a finite end to resources and I understand that banks will not constantly raise my "debt ceiling". How do he and people educated like him think this country can borrow $4 billion every day, every day, forever. And they want to increase the debt ceiling so they can borrow more. Always more.
What's wrong with balancing your checkbook? Has it somewhere during my lifetime gone out of style? I don't care what your personal political views are, don't you have to show some common sense when it comes to finances?
Without going off-track here and discussing all the excesses and improper ways money is being managed by this country, we simply have to stop! Raising the debt ceiling is not the answer to our problems. If you ask a bank for a loan and they turn you down, what's your next step? You adjust your expenditures to meet your income. You don't take that world tour that wasn't saved up for if the bank turns you down. That's the time to plan ahead and start saving for the world tour.
If congress says NO to the higher borrowing it simply means this country doesn't take its "big trip" until it can afford to.
It is time to balance our checkbook at least. We can pay back our loans over time, just like we do when making payments on a new car, but now is the time to stop borrowing ourselves into payments larger than our income. That is called bankruptcy.
Please don't do that to my great country.

Safe completion of work is station focus
MORRIS, Ill. (Oct.17, 2011) – Operators safety took Dresden Generating Station Unit 2 offline at midnight Sunday, Oct. 16, for a scheduled refueling and maintenance outage. "We have been preparing for this outage for over a year," said David Czufin, Dresden site vice president. "We're ready to implement our plan and perform the work that will help ensure that Unit 2 runs safely and reliably during its next two-year operating cycle." In addition to replacing about one-third of the reactor's fuel, workers will perform more than 4,000 inspections and maintenance activities on hundreds of the facility's components. Much of this work cannot be done while the unit is operating. Employees and supplemental workers will complete several upgrades to the facility that are all designed to enhance Unit 2's ability to provide reliable, 100 % carbon-free electricity for many years. These upgrades include installing new low-pressure turbine rotors and replacing and refurbishing valves, pumps, motors and other equipment. During the outage, Dresden Station will employ the talents and expertise of approximately 1,600 additional workers. About 1,000 of them are skilled tradesmen and women from the local union halls, while others are skilled workers from nearby Exelon Nuclear facilities and specialty vendors who travel to the area for the outage. While working at Dresden, these supplemental workers contribute to the economy by staying at area hotels, eating at nearby restaurants and visiting other local businesses. Dresden Unit 3 will continue to supply electricity to the area while Unit 2 is offline. Dresden Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two operating units can produce more than 1,700 megawatts net of electricity. Dresden Unit 1, which began commercial operation in 1960 and was retired in 1978, has been designated a Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 490,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Louisvilles No. 1 concern heading into its showdown with Syracuse is attacking the Orangemens signature 2-3 zone defense.
How well the top-ranked Cardinals can penetrate and create easy scoring opportunities will determine who takes control of the Big East.
Louisville coach Rick Pitino says No. 6 Syracuse presents a different challenge because of its effectiveness in limiting opponents shooting and passing options.
Then again, Louisville (16-1, 4-0 Big East) also presents defensive problems for Syracuse (16-1, 4-0). With their man-to-man defensive pressure, the Cardinals rank in the top three nationally in several categories, including turnover margin and steals.
But ending a two-game losing streak to Syracuse and retaining the schools second-ever No. 1 ranking depends on Louisvilles ability to penetrate the Orangemens zone.
Teams just never shoot a real good percentage against Syracuse, Pitino said Friday. They dont give you a whole lot, they create a lot of steals, they get out on the break and not too many teams are as good at stealing the ball in the zone as they are.
The coach added that his team has attacked zones well this year, noting the Cardinals 49 percent shooting against Missouri in November.
But again, nobody shoots a real high percentage against Syracuse; thats not how youre going to beat Syracuse, he said.
Opponents are shooting 35 percent against Syracuse and just 32 percent from 3-point range. A big reason for those stats are Orangemen guards Brandon Triche (6-foot-4), Michael Carter-Williams (6-6) and Trevor Cooney (6-4), who are quick and long.
If Louisville guards Peyton Siva and Russ Smith are lose with their passing or ball handling, it will lead to turnovers and the Orangemen will be off and running the other way. Smith (18.9 points per game) and Siva (11.8) will also likely have to have good games shooting from the perimeter to help break down Syracuses defense.
One of the reasons the Cardinals have fared better against zones recently has been the play of 6-11 center Gorgui Dieng. He could play a vital role against the Orangemen, who will be without forward James Southerland. He has had some academic issues and was declared ineligible by the NCAA last Saturday.
Even without Southerland, the Syracuse presents the Cardinals biggest test since losing to then-No. 5 Duke in the Battle 4 Atlantis final on Nov. 24.
One thing I know is we cant make a lot of mistakes and think were going to win the game, said Dieng, who has posted double-doubles in three of his past four games. We just need to be really focused and play every position.
Louisville has won 11 straight and enters the game ranked second in turnover margin (plus-7.5 per game) and third in steals (11.4). The Cardinals figure to use their trademark pressure often against the Orangemen, winners of six straight.
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim is just as impressed with Louisvilles offense, which was suspect in the teams two meetings last year. He also said the experience of reaching last years Final Four an eight-game run that followed a 58-49 loss to the Orange in western New York has given the Cardinals more confidence.
They do everything well, the longtime Syracuse coach said. They can press you and do it well, their halfcourt defense is very good and their matchup zone is too. They can play man-to-man and are pretty effective at that.
Offensively, they have inside scoring and outside scoring. They really dont have a weakness when you look at this Louisville team. You take a team that went to the Final Four last year and improved over the course of the year, and now those guys are just that much older and better.

Mets acquire INF Brandon Hicks from Oakland
The Mets announced they have acquired INF Brandon Hicks from the A's for cash considerations.
Hicks, 27, hit .172 with three home runs and seven RBI in 64 at-bats over 22 games with the A's last season. He has combined to hit .133 with three home runs and eight RBI in 55 career major league games since 2010.
He spent most of the 2012 season with Triple-A Sacramento in the Pacific Coast League and hit .244 with a .350 OBP, 18 home runs and 61 RBI in 90 games.
Michael Baron, ContributorHicks can play all four infield positions – given that it's unlikely the Mets bring back Ronny Cedeno (he reportedly wants to search for a starting job), the Mets need to find depth on the infield, especially at second base and shortstop. Hicks probably won't be guaranteed a roster spot in camp, but I can see the Mets acquire more players like Hicks to create competition come February and March.
Still, I would like to see the Mets find a more established utility player, like Cedeno…

Being in the know is kind of an obsession of ours. That means we keep reading when we see spoiler alerts and never skip a behind-the-scenes TV show, and naturally this information-crazed attitude informs the way we digest fashion too. In addition to going to the shows and studying the runways, we spend months pouring over every single collection, searching for the best looks and the most important trends for you, dear readers. Now, after much careful consideration and debate, we've finally settled on a handful of standout trends and must-have pieces for spring. Think of it as your cheat sheet for the season and a taste of what's to come in our S/S 11 coverage--we hope you enjoy!
There are loads of noteworthy shoe styles available for spring--clog details are still big, as are other '70s-inspired options like wood platform heels and wildly huge wedges--but the shape we're crazy about is the flatform. Yes, you read that correctly. The flatform is exactly what it sounds like: a uniformly tall platform wedge, which gives you some height without wearing a pitched heel, per se. The perfect punctuation to many of the season's trends, these shoes turned up as strappy sandals at Chanel, menswear-inspired styles at 3.1 Phillip Lim and Prada, and complimenting Derek Lam's minimalist ensembles. While the majority of flatforms haven't hit stores yet, we did find a few standout options already in stock. Our suggestion: check out Derek Lam's Stacked Wedge Platform Pumps ($590), Marc Jacobs' 110 MM Glitter Mule Wedges ($828), and Fendi's 110 mm Platform Wedges ($1067) now, as they're all certain to sell out soon.

If the S/S 11 season had an inspirational soundtrack, we imagine that it would include Chic's "Le Freak" and Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way." What up, disco madness. So what does this mean for your wardrobe? Well, the runway interpretations involve vivid violet jumpsuits (Fendi), maxi skirts and dresses with thigh-high slits (Louis Vuitton), plus billowy, high-waisted pants, big-brimmed hats, and platforms galore (Marc Jacobs), to name a few key looks. Personally, we'll be seeking out spaghetti-strap leotard tops, ultra-long earrings made out of slinky metals, and stocking up on shoes that look like they could do the Hustle...
Images from left: Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs
Downtown Lady
Last season, the ladylike trend meant lots of full skirts and polished beauty looks, in other words: pretty, but prim. For spring, we're still seeing a certain amount of soignée styles, but this time around, they have a much more youthful vibe. For example, at Loewe, designer Stuart Vevers updated a classic sheath dress by making it in walnut brown leather, detailing it with tiny embroidered leather flowers, and styling it with sharp pumps and a leather headband. Proenza Schouler also offered timeless staples--a Tweed Skirt ($1570) and Terry Tweed Jacket ($1839)--albeit in an anything-but-sedate fluorescent yellow. Or consider the accessories at Valentino, like the Small Chain-Strap Flap Bag ($1845) with its understated silhouette and pyramid-studded details: it's luxe but tough. All in all, this look is very cool and is already turning up on trendsetters like Alexa Chung and Gaia Repossi, so start pulling similar pieces now!

Tiny Pleats
When you're shopping for dresses and skirts this season, we highly suggest investing in at least one pleated piece. We're crazy about the simple versions shown at Michael Kors and Chloe; the former created an almost casual Floor Length Pleated Skirt ($1195) in the perfect shade of grass green, while the latter offered a ballerina-like Mousseline Midi Length Skirt ($2836) in the most delicate shade of blush. Interested in a more '70s-inspired take on the trend? Preen showed a Printed and Pleated Georgette Skirt ($4049) that has a disco earthiness, thanks to a combination of a mosque tile-inspired print and lurex thread details. Or check out Haider Ackermann's Silk Satin Pleated Skirt ($1639), which has a voluminous shape, up-to-there slit, and knockout Yves Klein blue hue that's perfect for a modern Studio 54 queen. Whatever style you pick, just make sure you go for something with small (ideally accordion) pleats to get the most of-the-moment look!

Rainbow Brights
Perhaps in response to the slew of neutrals that have been so popular lately, one of the boldest trends for S/S 11 is ultra-bright colors on everything from shirts to shoes. We love the way brights were shown at Jil Sander, where designer Raf Simons offered simple ways to wear this look (a vivid tangerine Fish Tail Fluorescent Skirt ($1674) with a simple white t-shirt), as well as more intense iterations (like wide-leg bright yellow pants with a fluro pink shirt and a sprightly green jacket, shown above). While there were contrasting brights galore, we also adore simple, monochromatic ensembles as well, like the orange look from Fendi, above. If this seems like too much for your personal taste, don't fret, wear a bright shoe or bag with your favorite all-white outfit; Prada, Versus, and Sonia Rykiel all have amazing options to pick from.

Relaxed Minimalism
One of the biggest buzzwords for spring is minimalism, but that overarching idea can mean lots of different things. While some designers went for an austere, '90s Calvin Klein interpretation of this look, we think the more approachable version shown at Celine, Michael Kors, and Stella McCartney is going to be equally, if not more, important. So what does that mean? Think: typically monochromatic ensembles with unfussy silhouettes, like the gray linen gauze turtleneck and floor-length skirt shown at Michael Kors with a tonally harmonious trench. Refreshingly understated, but still full of style, no wonder this is a trend to watch!

Skinny Belts
Looking for a fun new accent piece to freshen up your wardrobe essentials? Go for a skinny belt! A neon belt will add the perfect pop of color to your favorite neutral or white pieces, or you can always invest in a classic tan, brown, or black option too. Regarding the latter, don't miss Michael Kors' Long Skinny Trouser Belt ($225) in Peanut, which would look amazing with an easy gray maxi dress, per the runway. Need more head-to-toe styling ideas? Check out Burberry Prorsum, Proenza Schouler, and Miu Miu for inspiration.

Wide-Leg Slouch Trousers
In addition to buying a clean pair of high-waisted flare jeans--Derek Lam's Denim Trousers ($550) are the gold standard--the other key pant shape this spring is the wide-leg slouch trouser. These silky, relaxed pants turned up at Celine, Dries Van Noten, and Proenza Schouler, and they offer an excellent way to try the season's minimalist look or you can make them a part of a slightly '70s, cocktail chic ensemble. Check out Haider Ackermann's Silk Satin Trousers ($1144) in cobalt blue or Marc Jacobs' Belted High Waist Silk Pants ($950) for inspiration now and keep your eyes peeled for the perfect pair!

Neon Lips
Whether it was a shocking pink pout at DVF or a tangerine smile at Marc by Marc Jacobs, when it comes to spring beauty, one thing is certain: neon lips are the next big thing. So put away your nice nudes and get ready to start wearing strong, sunny shades this season. Ready to try this look today? We suggest picking up some of our go-to hues, like Shiseido's Perfect Rouge Lipstick ($25) in Day Lily, NARS Lipstick ($24) in Schiap, and MAC Lipstick ($14.50) in Neon Orange or Something New.

Toy expert Christopher Byrne talked about some of the most-wanted toys this holiday season.
"For the second year on our most wanted list, this is 'the Leap Pad 2 explorer'. This is an all new Leap Pad with twice the memory, great apps. It's basically a talent for kids. There is a camera on the front and a camera on the back. [They have] kept the price at $99, so it's a great investment over time," Byrne said.
"Something a little low tech these are 'The Glow Glow Inkoos' from the bridge direct. They have glow in the dark fabric on them that glows actually as you draw on it and you can use the light pen to draw on the belly. If you don't like what you did, throw it in the wash and start it again. That's about $24.99," Byrne said.
Byrne is the Content Director for "Time to Play" - a review magazine of infant products, video games and movies as they pertain to toys.
Through his 29-year toy tenure, Byrne has worked in marketing, media, operations, product development and creative.
He is the founder of Byrne Communications and a researcher, analyst and consultant who has worked with a variety of Fortune 100 companies tracking kid trends, product development and strategic marketing campaigns.
