The chief operating officer of Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center will co-chair a regional team tasked with determining what community-based psychiatric services will be available in the north country once inpatient services are moved out of the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center.
Vicki E. Perrine has been appointed as one of three co-chairs to lead the Central New York Regional Center of Excellence Team. The other co-chairs are Dr. Matt Cattalani, clinical director of Hutchings Psychiatric Center, Syracuse, and Otsego County Community Services Director Susan Matt.
St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center Task Force Chairman Charles W. Kelly said he is pleased that a north country medical professional will help lead the team.
Shes certainly very well qualified, he said. She knows the needs of the north country and the needs of its hospitals.
OMH has proposed moving inpatient psychiatric services from the Ogdensburg psychiatric center to facilities in Syracuse and Utica. The state is looking to place less emphasis on costly inpatient care and put in place more community care and support for the mentally ill. Five regional teams will make recommendations on what community services should be offered in their respective regions: Central New York, Western New York, Hudson River, New York City and Long Island. The Central New York Region includes the north country.
The three co-chairs from each regional team will also serve on a steering committee that will advise the state Office of Mental Health commissioner on a final plan to implement the recommendations.
The steering committee will hold its first meeting Tuesday, which will be streamed online via Google Plus at https://plus.google.com/events/celc8p5afehsn9fej3ictdbevmk#events/celc8p5afehsn9fej3ictdbevmk. Footage of the meeting will also be available on the OMH YouTube page after it ends.
A full list of steering committee members is online at www.omh.ny.gov/omhweb/excellence/rce/steering_committee/membership.html
According to the OMH website, which announced the appointments, the rest of the Central New York Regional Center of Excellence Team will be appointed in the near future. The panel will have up to 15 members in addition to its co-chairs.
I would hope that there will be more professionals from Oswego to Plattsburgh acknowledged to have input on that team, Mr. Kelly said.
Thousands of readers like you have made Northern New York Newspapers the number one ranked website* for local news and sports coverage in the north country.

The Mayor's Wife
Kessinger Publishing, Mar 1, 2005 - Fiction - 404 pages
1907. An American detective-story writer, Green's many thrillers were characterized by logical construction and a knowledge of criminal law. The book begins: I am not without self-control, yet when Miss Davies entered the room with that air of importance she invariably assumes when she has an unusually fine position to offer, I could not hide all traces of my anxiety. I needed a position, needed it badly, while the others-But her eyes are on our faces, she is scanning us all with that close and calculating gaze which lets nothing escape. She has passed me by-my heart does down, down-when suddenly her look returns and she singles me out. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

Tra La La La La: Why Services Procurement Strikes a Chord
Suppliers and customers are all raving about services procurement. But here's the catch: It means different things to different people. So I decided to explore this term a bit by talking to a number of people in the know. After chatting with various industry folks, I think Agile-1's chief sales officer, Stacie Habegger, said it best: "Services procurement encompasses the strategic management and procuring of complex category services like contract labor, consultancy services, marketing, print, travel, telecom, legal services, etc."
The key word is services. It's different from needing, say, 100 copiers or even 100 people. It's not tangible merchandise. And this could be handled via a statement of work agreement or even a master service agreement, depending on the contract, says Beeline's Colleen Tiner, VP of product management.
So why is this a big deal? Word on the street is that it represents 50 percent of corporate procurement spending. We are talking about billions of dollars. At this point, customers do not have the same clarity on what they spend on services compared with material goods. And if customers can develop a centralized strategy to procuring these services, it will result in savings for them now and over time.
And for the supplier, these savings could mean more business. "Centralized procurement results in a lower cost of sale to the supplier. Once a relationship is solidified and with insight to historical success, the client is more likely to re-engage with that supplier when additional opportunities arise," says Habegger.
Ditto for the managed service provider. With services procurement, both sides of the staffing equation have something to gain. It only requires that we are all on the same page when it comes to explaining the terminology.

From HCMWorks' perspective the definition you provided is accurate. This is the way that the majority of procurement professionals will look at services procurement or even, what's called, Indirect Procurement. The basic defintion between direct and indirect is that any purchases that directly impact the cost per unit (CPU)of the product delivered by a company is considered direct. i.e. steel to an automobile manufacturer. Any costs that "indirectly" impact the company's net margin is deemed indirect. Services corporations like Banks, Insurance companies, etc, arguably only have indirect spend.
The last comment I'll make is that "staffing companies" and VMS tools that only do temp labor and/or SOW type of spend, need to stop calling themselves Services Procurement. Until they can handle services like print, marketing, call centers, etc. They should not portray themselves as "service procurement".

1906 - 2008
PRICE/SALT LAKE CITY - Our beloved father and grandfather, Dionicio "Danny" Bustos, passed away peacefully at 102 years old on Sept. 7, 2008 in Salt Lake City.
He was born on April 26, 1906 in Alcalde, N.M., to Jose and Maria de la Luz Bustos. He married Francis Blair Trujillo on Dec. 26, 1945.
They set up residence in Price, where they lived for over 40 years. During these years, he worked as a coal miner in various mines in Carbon County and was a member of the United Mine Workers of America, until he retired in 1970. He was proud of his occupation and gave his best to his job.
He was blessed to have lived over a century. He enjoyed a lifetime of experiences which included travel by chuck wagon to travel by today's fastest jets.
His favorite pastimes were fishing, camping, spending time outdoors and making visits to his childhood hometown in New Mexico.
He was a hard-working man, one who was devoted to his family and loved God with all of his heart. Often asked what his secret was to living so long, his response was "living a life that was pleasing to God."
He leaves his family a legacy that will forever live on.
He is survived by his children, Margaret (Jose) Larracuente, Salt Lake City; Felix (Angie) Bustos, Alcalde, N.M.; Aniano Trujillo, Camas, Wash.: Roberta (Donald) Coburn, Greensboro, N.C.; Donna (Roger) Gonzalez, Taylorsville; Dean Bustos, Brighton, Colo.;19 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren and 18 great-great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by his wives, Victoriana and Frances; sisters, Eloisa and Terecina; brother, Tom; daughter, Ruby; grandchild, Jerry; great grandchildren, Natalie and Ashlie.
The family expresses a special thanks to his daughters, Donna and Roberta, and his granddaughters, Allyson and Yvette, for their dedicated and special care of Dad throughout his life. We also extend our gratitude to the CareSource Hospice team.
Funeral service will be Saturday, Sept. 13, 11 a.m., at Mt. Calvary Family Worship Center, 3200 W. 3100 South, Salt Lake. A viewing will be Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. at McDougal Funeral Home, 4330 S. Redwood Road. Interment, Redwood Memorial Estates.

In an era where patents are sold and bought like commodities in lieu of protecting intellectual rights; and where mall innovators are snapped up for their technological visions and execution, - HTC is a wonder to behold. The rising star of the smartphone world has « arrived. »
Ten years ago HTC couldn't even be considered a boutique cell phone to set yourself apart from the mundane crowd of Motorolas and Nokias. It was, however, a company earning its chops manufacturing hardware for Windows Mobile-powered devices for household names like Compaq and XDA. Now HTC is manufacturing the Raider, Amaze and Desire line of cell phones coupled with a plethora a innovative protective solutions and premium electronic accessories
HTC's big break came in 2008 : with the Android. The Dream and G1, which launched the brand into the periphery of the ever growing smart phone consumer market. Its years as a technological innovator for Windows helped carve a niche and secure a market notoriety for cell phone and mobile accessories.
The following video provides an excellent account of The Quietly Brilliant Story of HTC
Throughout the years there has been escalating competition in particular from Samsung cell phones. But as any good capitalist knows, a competitive environment spurs creativity and innovation. And, as any informed consumer knows, also keeps costs competitive thanks to vendor agnostic retailers such as puremobile.com where the buffet of unlocked cell phone and mobile devices can be sampled, reviewed, and easily paired with practical yet fun wireless accessories.
HTC is an underdog with elegant and smart technology that marries performance and beauty into something intuitive and tangible for a memorable end user experience. Translation? HTC is a rising star . They may have lost the dominant Android market share to Samsung but the recent performance and successes of Sensation and EVO 3D will pair with upcoming jewels like the Ville and sharp music accessory bundles (without the proprietary encumbrance of Apple's iTunes) for a bright 2012.

This study will examine the emotional and behavioral aspects of long-term survival of HIV/AIDS among adolescents and young adults with HIV infection.
HIV-infected individuals between 13 and 23 years of age may be eligible for this study. They must be aware of their HIV diagnosis, have been infected for at least 13 years and have been on an active NIH protocol during the past 5 years.
In addition to the usual stresses of growing up, children with HIV infection may have spent much of their time in hospitals and may have lost parents, friends and other loved ones. This study will explore psychological aspects of growing up with HIV, including self esteem, possible risk behaviors, how disclosure to others changes over time, the commonness of anxiety and depression, and the impact that losses have had on the adolescents' emotional health. To gather this information, participants will be interviewed and asked to fill out a set of forms. Caregivers will also fill out forms.
Patients who are not currently on an active NIH protocol will have the option of having a physical examination and routine blood work. The results will be sent to their home care provider.

|Study Start Date:
|July 2001
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|June 2005
Children and adolescents with HIV/AIDS are living well beyond the life expectancy that was projected for them in the past. As the number of survivors of vertically or transfusion associated pediatric HIV disease increases, attention to the psychosocial adjustment of these adolescents and young adults becomes increasingly important. Studies in the late 1990s described child and adolescent survivors as generally well adjusted, though difficulties become more apparent as the child approached the age of 18. Nothing is known about these HIV positive youngsters as they enter late adolescence and young adulthood. This study will examine psychosocial factors associated with long-term survival of HIV/AIDS, including the prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses, risk behaviors, evaluation of self competence, and the impact that multiple losses has on the adolescents' emotional well-being. In addition, data will be collected from the primary caregivers on the prevalence of parenting stress compared to national norms. Subjects will include children who have been infected (either perinatally or through transfusion) for at least eight years and who are aware of their diagnosis.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
HIV-infected adolescents 13-24 years of age with documented HIV infection for greater than or equal to 13 years.
On active protocol at NIH during the past 5 years.
Willingness to sign informed consent.

History and background of Giorgio Armani
Born in Piacenza, Italy in 1934, Giorgio Armani is one of the most celebrated and influential designers Italy has ever produced. But it was only by chance that he broke into the fashion industry in the Sixties, after brief forays into medicine (having studied at Milan University) and photography.
Following his military service, Armani launched his career as a window dresser at a large Milanese department store, called La Rinascente. He later revealed that he developed his classic style during this time, following frequent trips to the UK. "England was virtually the most important centre for inspiration," he says. "When I was working for Il Rinascente we used to travel to London for the influences, to see the shops, to learn. I remember seeing some yellow cardigans in a small boutique and bringing them to Il Rinascente and everyone thought I was insane. Yellow cardigans were what the Duke of Windsor was about, they were not something for the average man. The entire idea of such clothing was so outré, so elitist... very, very English."
In 1964, armed with an in-depth knowledge of fabric and design, he was taken on as a designer for Nino Cerruti's men's clothing company, Hitman. Posts at Ungaro and Zegna were soon to follow. In 1974, Armani introduced his own menswear label, his first womenswear collection coming a year later.
Since 1975, Armani has overseen the launch of Giorgio Armani Junior, Underwear, Swimwear, Accessories and Occhiali. Capitalising on the cachet of his more exclusive label, he opened the first of a series of stores selling his cheaper diffusion lines, Emporio Armani and Armani Jeans, in 1981. In 2000, he added a new make-up range to his output, specially designed by Pat McGrath. Today, the Armani empire comprises some 2,000 emporia world-wide with annual sales of more than $1 billion. His catwalk shows often draw a distinguished crowd when he was forced to show in New York in March 1998, after Paris police closed down his black marquee over Place Saint Sulpice claiming that the set-up was "unsafe", Robert de Niro, Spike Lee, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Scorsese, Sophia Loren and Wyclef Jean of The Fugees all came to watch.
Nonetheless Armani claims to base his vision on the everyday people in the street, believing that clothes should be made to be worn not just seen and drawing on the skills he learned as a menswear designer to produce contemporary clothes for women. The wide-shouldered power suit that was a trademark in the Eighties has been softened into a more supple, practical silhouette and Armani's collections these days are elegant and understated (the designer has often expressed a dislike of "important" clothes).
In 2000, Forbes declared Giorgio Armani to be the world's most successful designer, with personal earnings of $135 million in 1999. In 2001, the magazine put him at No.19 (behind the Bulgari family and ahead of the Pradas) on a list of Fashion's New Aristocrats.

NEW YORK - A surge in home remodeling is underway, with a post-recession twist.
For the year that began last October, the National Homebuilders Association predicts a 20-percent increase in spending on remodeling, but unlike remodeling during the housing boom when owners were remodeling then flipping homes for profit, this time it's different.
Kelli Grant at MarketWatch says the motive behind makeovers these days is not to sell, but to stay in the home.
"Their home is definitely their castle and people are really just looking with an eye towards
living in it rather than selling it," she says.
Grant says the way remodelings are planned and paid for has also changed.
"If i want to get a new kitchen I'm not trying to do that all at once," she explains.
More homeowners are also paying for the upgrades with cash instead of credit.
Social media sites like Pinterest are where many are getting remodeling ideas, then hiring contractors who need the work.
"We are still in a market where the contractors still don't have quite enough to do," Grant says. "You have that ability to haggle and to negotiate and really shop around to make sure that you're getting a good deal"
Grant advises you to keep energy efficiency in mind when remodeling because there are still tax credits available for doing so.

Dorothy Gale learned in "The Wizard of Oz" that there's no place like home.
As she brings her "Blown Away" headlining tour to her native state for the second time this fall, Carrie Underwood undoubtedly would agree.
Dorothy Gale learned in "The Wizard of Oz" that there's no place like home.
As she brings her "Blown Away" headlining tour to her native state for the second time this fall, Carrie Underwood undoubtedly would agree.
"There's more people in the audience that I know, and there's a certain level of ownership that I have and that the crowd has because I'm the hometown girl," Underwood said in a phone interview earlier this autumn.
The day before Thanksgiving, the Checotah native will bring her latest stage spectacle to Tulsa's BOK Center. "The Blown Away Tour" is supporting her new album of the same name, which already boasts two chart-topping hits, a dramatic third single climbing the charts and the sentimental ode "Thank God for Hometowns."
It may sound like a cliche, but when it came to devising her "Blown Away Tour," the country music superstar, 29, and her team wanted to live up to the name of her fourth album and its title track.
"No pressure other than we just always want to keep moving forward and outdo the last one. You always wanna come up with new ideas and have it look different and feel different than anything you've ever done before," said Underwood, who brought her third headlining tour to Oklahoma City last month.
The singer-songwriter has taken a similar wide-open approach to crafting all her albums. With her three previous albums — 2005's "Some Hearts," 2007's "Carnival Ride," and 2009's "Play On" — Underwood has sold more than 15 million albums, making her the best-selling "American Idol" in the United States.
"I can mark my life by my albums and by my tours because they all feel different. It's not just kind of running over the same thing again and again," she said.
"You let the songs write themselves; you know, when you come into a writing session having like no preconceived ideas of what you're gonna write for the day, you could write a love song, you could write kind of an adventurous type song (or) something really dramatic. You just don't know. And I love that."
Although she co-wrote eight of the 14 songs on her latest album, including the singles "Good Girl" and "Two Black Cadillacs," Underwood chose "Blown Away," penned by "Before He Cheats" scribes Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins, as the title track.

I love looking out in the audience and seeing myself in so many of these little girls that are sitting out there screaming and singing along."

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) -- Arlington County has halted a plan to build 23 "super" bus stops after the first one cost $1 million.
The "super stops" were designed to serve passengers on buses on Columbia Pike, as well as passengers on Arlington's planned streetcar line. The first stop at Columbia Pike and Walter Reed Drive took 18 months and $1 million, drawing outcry.
In a statement Friday, County Manager Barbara Donnellan said the county would reassess the design. She says she has heard the community's concerns about the design and cost and will look for ways to reduce the costs.
After the first stop opened March 11, commuters told WUSA9 the cost was "crazy" and that they felt "ripped off." Transportation officials said it's an investment in the area's transportation infrastructure.

BEIJING (Caixin Online) — Securing U.S. dollars for overseas investments is getting easier now that the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) has opened a direct channel for funneling some of China's $3 trillion in forex cash to the lending arms of state-run banks.
The service launched last summer reflects a government initiative to widen the scope of forex investments announced last year by People's Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan, whose agency oversees SAFE.
"SAFE is providing U.S. dollar liquidity to the market," a source close to the agency said.
Caixin is a Beijing-based media group dedicated to providing high-quality and authoritative financial and business news and information through periodicals, online and TV/video programs.
• Get the Caixin e-newsletter
The new SAFE Co-Financing office is designed to "let the foreign exchange market play a positive role in supporting national economic and social development," an agency statement said.
"We have consistently introduced new, innovative ways to use foreign exchange reserves, supported financial institutions that serve the real economy's development and (China's) overseas outreach strategy, and established entrusted foreign reserves loan offices at foreign exchange reserves management institutions, while seeking innovative ways to spend foreign exchange," SAFE said.
"Operations are carried out according to market principles and conditions," the statement continued. "Each plan conforms to general industry practices and rules, respects the market's choices and wishes, and maintains and promotes fair market competition."
Tapping the government's forex stash has become a preferred overseas project funding strategy for banks that have minimized U.S. dollar holdings on expectations that its value will fall against the Chinese yuan, said the source close to SAFE.
A bank's loan officers need dollars, however, to satisfy corporate customers trying to buy overseas assets in step with the government's call for extending China's global business influence. SAFE, thus, offers specially tailored "entrusted" loans, said a bank source, for which terms are set on a case-by-case basis.
A separate bank source said SAFE has offered loans to banks with fixed as well as floating interest rates set according to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Banks usually charge 0.1% for management fee from the earnings.
Banks assume all risk, and SAFE currently expects returns of about 2.5% on the cash it lends, said a source close to SAFE.
The program's designers sought to build a market-oriented framework for forex reserve management — a goal often cited by central bank and SAFE officials — by, for example, letting banks act as intermediary lenders of the government's foreign currency.
China's economic comeback
China's gross domestic product rose 7.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012 from a year earlier.
Sources say that government authorities are more determined than ever to accelerate the use of market strategies to manage forex reserves. Indeed, since the new SAFE office opened, forex lending has steadily climbed.
Loan framework
The amount of money funneled by SAFE Co-Financing forex loan officers into overseas projects hasn't been disclosed. Neither has the government announced program goals or schedules for lending.
The initiative is an offshoot of a forex lending service started in May 2010, when a SAFE affiliate called the Central Foreign Exchange Business Center signed the first loan agreement of its kind with the government's policy lender China Development Bank (CDB).
CDB used the money for loan offering. More agreements followed, and today CDB is the nation's biggest lender of forex reserves.
CDB has tapped the reserves for more than two-thirds of the $250 billion in foreign currency loans that it has issued to clients since May 2010.
CDB's loan clients generally have at least three years to repay foreign currency loans, even though each loan issued by SAFE usually matures in less than three years.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
The Sölden story. All beginnings are easy: three ATOMIC stars in the top 6 – the new generation of the ATOMIC D2 Race helped Philipp Schörghofer to reach the podium (3rd place). Carlo Janka (4th place) and Marcel Hirscher (6th place) showed passion and performance at their comeback.
"This third place shows how far Schörgi has already come with the material setup", Schörghofer's serviceman Christoph Silbergasser analysed. Philipp Shörghofer considered the innovation of the D2 series for giant slalom as a major step, "The performance of the D2 is incredible, especially under such conditions."
The secret of the success of the D2 Race? "The Doubledeck combines the best characteristics of the sandwich and the cap construction type", ATOMIC Race Director Rudi Huber explains. This is one, but not the only reason why the ATOMIC superstar has been an avowed fan of the D2 ever since. Janka, who ranked forth in the first race after the season with his heart operation, said, "It's incredible how the material gets faster and faster in every stage of development". Janka's comeback was not the only one that was sensational during this kick-off weekend!
"I am so relieved and I had so much fun skiing, I don't want to talk about a mistake I made in the first run – the 6th rank is so much more than what I expected for the first race." Marcel Hirscher, who used a special pair of boots in the second run, was really happy. Hirscher can be pleased with this comeback, just as Benni Raich (who ranked 19th) can be after his bad knee injury, "I think it was a great dress-rehearsal today. I still need some time, but racing today was extremely important." Kathrin Zettel also showed a promising performance in Sölden, "After my health issues this 7th place in Sölden was almost like a victory for me. I'm getting stronger race by race."

As They See 'em: A Fan's Travels in the Land of Umpiresby Bruce Weber
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Millions of American baseball fans know, with absolute certainty, that umpires are simply overpaid galoots who are doing an easy job badly. Millions of American baseball fans are wrong.
As They See 'Em is an insider's look at the largely unknown world of professional umpires, the small group of men (and the very occasional woman) who make sure America's favorite pastime is conducted in a manner that is clean, crisp, and true. Bruce Weber, a New York Times reporter, not only interviewed dozens of professional umpires but entered their world, trained to become an umpire, then spent a season working games from Little League to big league spring training. As They See 'Em is Weber's entertaining account of this experience as well as a lively exploration of what amounts to an eccentric secret society, with its own customs, its own rituals, its own colorful vocabulary. Writing with deep knowledge of and affection for baseball, he delves into such questions as: Why isn't every strike created equal? Is the ump part of the game or outside of it? Why doesn't a tie go to the runner? And what do umps and managers say to each other during an argument, really?
Packed with fascinating reportage that reveals the game as never before and answers the kinds of questions that fans, exasperated by the clichés of conventional sports commentary, pose to themselves around the television set, Bruce Weber's As They See 'Em is a towering grand slam.
Packed with fascinating facts, Weber's book offers an insider's look into the small and largely unknown world of baseball's professional umpires.

Recycling computer parts is a portion of the sustainable world program.
With the projection of a rise in both natural gas and electricity costs, according to chief executive officers from both Rocky Mountain Power and Questar, Carbon residents are reminded that there are many small projects that can be done around the house to conserve on both energy and their monthly bills.
As the debate over climate change due to human influence rages on, local residents can be assured that "going green" in spite of its political ramifications can and will save green-backs for Carbon energy users. Energy is not the only issue facing those in eastern Utah, as the economy continues to stand on shaky ground there are also other tips that can be used to help get through a tough economic period.
The World Institutes vision for a sustainable world has provided the following steps that will help reduce the amount of money going out every month in utilities:
â¢Save energy to save money, they recommend starting by setting the thermostat just a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer, which can make an enormous difference in a the heating and cooling bill.
â¢Install compact fluorescent light bulbs when the older incandescent bulbs burn out.
â¢Unplug appliances when they are not in use or use a "smart power strip" that senses when appliances are off and cuts phantom or vampire energy use.
â¢Wash clothes in cold water because as much as 85 percent of the energy used in a washing machine is used by heating the water.
â¢Use a rack or clothesline to save energy used during machine drying.
If a dryer is a must, local residents should consider using dryer balls to cute drying time.
â¢Take shorter showers to lower water and heater use.
â¢Install a low-flow shower head.
A low-flow shower head can repay the its initial investment cost within a month.
â¢Make sure that all faucets within the house are aerated.
â¢Plant drought-tolerant native plants in the garden.
Local residents may ALSO consider xeriscaping their yards.
â¢Try walking or biking to work.
Walking or riding a bicycle will save on gas and has the added benefit of improving a person's cardiovascular activity.
â¢Lobby local governments to increase spending on sidewalks and bike lanes.
â¢Use a filter to purify tap water rather than spending cash to purchase bottled water. .
â¢Consider buying secondhand from local or national suppliers.
â¢Check out garage sales, thrift stores and consignment shops for clothing and everyday items.
â¢Borrow from libraries instead of buying personal books and movies.
â¢Share power tools and other appliances with neighbors and friends.
â¢Buy food in bulk.
Purchasing food in a bulk manner saves in cost sand in packaging.
â¢Buy and wear clothing items that do not need to be dry cleaned.
â¢Invest in high-quality, long lasting products that need to be replaced less frequently.
â¢Keep cellular phones, computers and other electronic devices as long as possible.
â¢Donate or recycle the phones responsibly as "E-waste" contains mercury and other toxics and is a growing environmental problem.
â¢Ask local government officials to set up electronics recycling and hazardous waste collection events.
â¢Make cleaning supplies.
"You can make very effective, non-toxic cleaning supplies whenever you need them. All you need are a few simple ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, lemon and soap," comments the site, at www.worldwatch.org. "Doing so saves money, time and packaging."

OFA and Potsdam have met in the Section 10 Class B Baseball Championship for the past six years.
And both showed themselves well equipped to again play for postseason as well as regular season honors in the NAC Central Division in their first meeting of the season on Wednesday.
Blue Devil sophomore Seth Pinkerton and Potsdam senior Ben Miller formed a pitching matchup worthy of a title game as OFA claimed a 3-1 victory.
The Devils climbed to 2-1 on the season and handed the 4-1 Stoners their first loss in divisional play on a day when only one earned run was scored.
Pinkerton struck out three and walked two in a one-hitter while Miller struck out four and walked one in a five-hitter.
It was just an excellent baseball game between two good teams where both pitchers threw very well, kept the ball down and let their defense make the plays behind them, said OFA Coach Tom Pinkerton who will lead his team to Massena on Friday.
Seth (Pinkerton) made very few mistakes on the mound and pitched very well hard and in tight. He did make one mistake, though, to Shawn Clark and Clark really crushed a double back by the fence.
Clarks double came with one out in the sixth inning as Potsdams lone hit of the day.
Andrew Ace scored the Stoners lone run in the second inning where he walked and scored on an infield error. The Devils scored twice in the bottom of the first inning on a walk to Konnor Murdock, an RBI single by Kinnon LaRose and an infield error.
The only earned run of the came in the fourth inning where Andrew Cole tripled and scored on a single by Zach Sharpe. Pat Cosmo produced OFAs other hits going 2-for-2 with a pair of singles.
Norwood-Norfolk remained unbeaten on the season at 4-0, 2-0 in NAC East Division play with a 4-2 decision over Madrid-Waddington.
Troy Kovach picked up the win for the Flyers. He held a no-hitter until the fourth inning to finish with an eight strikeout, one walk, four hitter in five and two-third innings. Brandon Short fanned three batters the rest of the way as Norwood-Norfolk scored single runs in the first, second, third and fifth.
Kovach supplied a double and scored twice. Cody Smith ripped a double while Kyler MacIntrye, Kyle Marten, Barry LaBarre, and Zeb Brown all singled.
Mike Thew, Zach Brock, Luke Miller and Terry Crump all singled for M-W.
Greg Thompson took the loss going the distance with eight strikeouts and three walks and allowing six hits.
Malone 14 - Canton 3: Malone erupted for 10 runs in the first inning in NAC Central Division play. Malone (2-1, 2-0 Central) was led by Brandon Welch who homered twice and singled twice while Austin LaMay pitched a complete-game five-hitter while striking out 10. For Canton (0-4, 0-4), starter Avery Slack took the loss while Francesco Palumbo singled twice. Bryant Wentworth also had a big hit.

WILLIAM HARTNELL TRIBUTE - 1st Doctor
?He believed in The Doctor. He was The Doctor? and he made the character one that people loved.? VERITY LAMBERT As the very first Doctor, WILLIAM HARTNELL created the character that made DOCTOR WHO a success. No other actor made such a lasting contribution to the programme or influenced it so greatly. With contributions from WILLIAM RUSSELL, CAROLE ANN FORD, MAUREEN O?BRIEN, PETER PURVES, VERITY LAMBERT, MICHAEL CRAZE, ANNEKE WILLS, DONALD TOSH, CHRISTOPHER BARRY and JACK PITT - who was an extra in DOCTOR WHO and shared WILLIAM?s flat in London. Also featured is JESSICA CARNEY, who has written a biography of her grandfather?s life titled WHO?S THERE? This is not just a MYTH MAKERS tribute? it?s almost a chance to meet the man himself. 1999. Running time: 55 minutes approx.
JACK PITT - Extra
?It had four castors, a shaky piece of wood, four pieces of metal, this fibre glass top and rubber bits hanging down the side!? Who might you ask is JACK PITT? He was actually one of the extras who inhabited the legion of monsters seen in DOCTOR WHO during the WILLIAM HARTNELL era of DOCTOR WHO. His memories of the early days of television and (more importantly) squeezing into Venom Grubs and Mechanoids are both evocative and humorous. But what JACK really brings to MYTH MAKERS is a personal insight into WILLIAM HARTNELL?s life. For eighteen months JACK shared digs with him and this was a pivotal point in both WILLIAM HARTNELL?s career and in DOCTOR WHO?s history. We reminisce with JACK about DOCTOR WHO in the 1960?s and uncover some surprising facts?Jack Pitt was an extra on Doctor Who and had two clear perspectives of the show, both of them from the inside. The first was inside the various monsters and aliens. The second was living with the Doctor himself, William Hartnell. 1999. Running time: 50 minutes approx.

Video: Webster PD: Human Remains Located
Video: Police: Human Remains Found, Believed to be Shooter's Sister
Video: Rep. Tom Reed on Gun Control 12/26/12
Video: What Police Found at Shooting Scene in Webster
Video: Webster PD: "Clear Ambush" on First Responders
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle/WGRZ Report
WEBSTER, N.Y. - Officials in Webster, NY held two press conferences Tuesday on the Two Rochester-area Firefighters Shot and Killed Monday - Christmas Eve.
The man who killed two Webster firefighters and critically injured two others was armed with three firearms, including a Bushmaster .223 rifle - the same weapon believed to be used in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
In Tuesday afternoon press conference, Police announced that they found human remains, believed to belong to Cheryl Spengler, 67, the shooter's sister, who has been missing since Monday. The Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office will investigate the remains. Police say no one else involved in the shooting is missing.
"Motive is always the burning question," Pickering said. "I'm not sure we'll ever really know what was going through his mind."
At a news conference this morning, Webster Police Chief Gerald Pickering released new details about Monday's ambush.
Armed with the semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and a .38 caliber handgun, William Spengler Jr. set a "clear ambush" for first responders, Pickering said, and carried out the horrific plan he detailed in a typewritten note he left behind.
Spengler left a note, which Pickering said was two to three pages long, rambling and did not speak to a motive.
Spengler's attack killed firefighters Mike Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka, and severely injured firefighters Joseph Hofstetter, 33, and Theodore Scardino, 48, who are in stable condition at Strong Memorial Hospital. An off-duty Greece police officer, John Ritter, was injured by shrapnel while attempting to protect the wounded officers with his car. He was treated and has been released from an area hospital. Pickering described his actions as heroic.
Pickering said it was not yet known which weapon was used to shoot the four firefighters.
Once police arrived at the scene, "it was a combat condition," Pickering said.
"We're assuming it was the rifle, because of the distance." That rifle, he said, was equipped with a flash suppressor, intended to reduce the visibility of a shooter during firing.
Lake Road remains closed to traffic between Bay Road and the bay bridge, though many residents are being allowed back into their homes and power has been largely restored. The area between 169 and 213 Lake Road remains cordoned off entirely, and is considered an active crime scene, Pickering said.
Investigators are "sorting through the rubble" of the seven houses destroyed by fire, and firefighters are extinguishing hotspots at two homes today.
Pickering cautioned that people returning to their homes after being evacuated by SWAT teams yesterday may find that their doors were kicked in. Locked homes in the area were searched for suspects during the chaos Monday.
The West Webster Fire Department is taking donations to assist the families of the four firefighters.

When it comes to summer dressing-especially for evening events-most people seem to insist on a less-is-more policy that might leave them feeling cool, but not looking particularly stylish. True, the temperature and humidity levels are spiking, but that doesn't mean you should throw on a lame look or overly revealing ensemble and call it a day (er, night). Rather than simply reaching for some boring standby outfit, we urge you to take inspiration from a few of our favorite ladies like Kate Moss, Rihanna, and Rachel Bilson. These lovelies show off some exceptional examples of how to look amazing and weather-appropriate even when it's sweltering outside. So sit back, grab a cool drink, and get ready to spend some time perusing a few festive after-hours outfits in today's edition of What They Wear: Hot Summer Night!*Rihanna
Rihanna is fast becoming just as well known for her daring dressing choices as her chart-topping hits. Seen out and about in Manhattan earlier this summer, the songstress proved that one fail-proof way to stay cool in the city is to mix your favorite dark body-con pieces with oversized separates. To try out a similar look, we suggest pairing a sherbet-hued blouse like ASOS' Silk Envelope Sleeve Top ($60) with either Sass & Bide's On A Night Like This Skirt ($165) or Forever 21's Liquid Mini Skirt ($13). Another warm-weather tip: a generous helping of statement accessories will add interest to an outfit without weighing you down. Though Rihanna opted for Fallon's Mixed Deadly Pearls Necklace ($198) and Maison Martin Margiela's Ankle Boots ($775), we recommend Forever 21's Twisted Beaded Necklace ($7), and Enzo Angiolini's Rachey Booties ($120) to get you where you want to go!
Kate Moss
Though layering is often associated with winter dressing, Kate Moss proves that combining a few strategic semi-sheer pieces can be the perfect antidote to a steamy summer night. The industry icon and risk-taker-knee-high boots in July, anyone?-stopped by a local restaurant after taking in a Blur concert in London, looking lacy and racy in Clare Tough's embroidered top. Though her crafty crème blouse is from the up-and-comer's S/S 09 collection and no longer available, we recommend you check out the entire line (with supporters like Moss, and appearances in influential glossies like Jalouse, i-D, UK Elle, it's sure to be one to watch!). To achieve Moss' breezy mix, toss Splendid's Rib Feather Tencel Wrap ($99) over Free People's Flutter Fly Away Top ($78) and slip into a pair of short-shorts for a rocking summer-appropriate selection!
Miranda Kerr
Many fashionable stars came out to celebrate Louis Vuitton's fête commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the Lunar Landing in New York City (for you history buffs, Apollo 11 landed in 1969, and for all of you photography lovers, check out Annie Leibovitz's Louis Vuitton ads starring Buzz Aldrin who was on that famous flight). Back on Earth, the out-of-this-world beautiful Victoria Secret model looked stellar in the French luxury label's one-of-a-kind brocade dress and African Queen Bag ($1530, 866.884.8866). Kerr is a shining example of how a light-reflecting fabric can really elevate a cocktail dress into a truly memorable evening ensemble. Try 3.1 Phillip Lim's Ruffle Front Belted Silk Dress ($650) for a like-minded style (ruffles! belting!) in a violet palette or Nanette Lepore's Cafe Sheath Dress ($348) with a festive clutch like Foley + Corinna's Classic City Clutch ($311) to get a semblance of her late-night style.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
While out and about with friends in London earlier this month, former GOTM and WhoWhatWear.com reader favorite looked effortlessly chic in a sweet delicate floral patterned Topshop dress, vintage leather jacket, and Christian Louboutin's Tuba 50 Leather Boots ($1370). Though her frock and motorcycle jacket are not available, we found some wonderful alternatives for you to consider. Nom De Plume's YaYa Floral Minidress ($88) mimics Huntington-Whiteley's pick and provides a refreshing contrast to her more rough-and-tough pieces. Simply slip it on with ASOS' Cropped Leather Jacket ($171) and Frye's Dorado Antique Riding Boots ($458) and you're all set for a night on the town!
Singer Cassie, who was also on the Louis Vuitton 40th Anniversary of the Lunar Landing's red carpet, showed us that a sheer fabric can be a fresh and chic choice for a balmy evening event. While the songbird wore Louis Vuitton's Small Ribbon Skirt ($5692, 866.884.8866) and Crew Neck Knit Top ($1273), you can easily achieve her airy ensemble by wearing American Apparel's Nylon Micro-Mesh Body Suit ($26)-over your favorite pretty bandeau bra-with a balloon skirt or Free People's Tiered Ruffle Mini ($58). Though Cassie stepped out in Christian Louboutin's Open-Toe Bootie
($1195), we like these Merrie Pumps ($90) from Steve Madden, which are just as heavenly and available at a more reasonable price point!
Rachel Bilson
The always impeccable Rachel Bilson was spotted sporting this summer's chic cocktail-shorts trend while attending a Vogue-hosted party to celebrate the first anniversary of Los Angeles' 3.1 Phillip Lim store. Though there is clearly a lot going on in this outfit, she pulls it off effortlessly and sets a great example. Seen here in head-to-toe 3.1 Phillip Lim-specifically the label's Rose Gold Liquid Lamé Relaxed Twisted Cuffed Harem Shorts ($350, 310.358.1988), Rose Gold Liquid Lamé Double-Breasted Peaked Lapel Blazer ($750), Silk Henley Ruffle Top ($325), and Black Leather Braided Low Waist Belt ($225) -the overall effect of this ensemble is light, fun, and festive. While we are huge fans of this look, we know that it may be a little hard for us civilians to pull of, as lamé shorts-suits can be unforgiving on less-than perfect frames (plus, how many tasteful lamé suits are there?). Instead take a page from Bilson's notebook: either pick a delightful pair of chic shorts with a beautiful blouse or opt for a little lamé to add a splash of attention-grabbing shimmer! As far as tops are concerned, we are quite taken with Maje's Kaza Lurex Jacket ($525), which would look sassy with a neutral-hued pair of cocktail shorts. Or you can razzle dazzle in Gryphon's The Sequin Shorts ($370) with a toned-down top. All are stellar options, but please, leave wearing multiple metallic-on-metallic pieces together to the professionals, like Bilson!-KM

Sandra Dee was born to play the ingénue. With her cute-as-a-button features and her petite figure, she was the picture of wide-eyed innocence (rather than bedroom-eyed sensuality). Again and again, she played the cutie pie. Typecast? Probably. But she played the role so perfectly that it's hard to get too upset about it.
Actress Sandra Dee, portraying a nurse's helper in the motion picture production "Tammy and the Doctor," poses in character in this July 1962 file photo. (AP Photo)
Dee would have turned 70 today. To celebrate, we're watching a couple of her movie classics – and listening to a song from her short recording career.
Gidget was cute, but she was no girlie-girl: she held her own surfing right alongside the guys.
In The Reluctant Debutante, Dee's adorable rich girl was more interested in finding love than an appropriate marriage.
Sandra Dee's singing voice was just as cute as her movie image. Here, she performs "When I Fall in Love."
