The Fireface UC, which works with both Windows and Mac OS, is a 32-channel FireWire Interface that offers...
For professional audio equipment, quality seriously matters. Fortunately, that's exactly what you can expect from RME Recording Gear. Based in Germany, RME Audio builds an excellent series of interfaces and converters that make great upgrades for your aging hardware as well as being fantastic choices to get a brand new recording studio up and running. To take advantage of all the power of digital recording software, one of the most important things you need is an audio interface. For small hobby or home studios where space is at a premium, RME has a great solution in the Babyface. This is a USB audio interface that's compact enough to use virtually anywhere, and what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in performance.
If you would rather have something that fits into your studio rack, take a look at the Fireface units. These full-sized, full-featured interfaces come with support for as many as 60 channels and allow you to choose between USB and Firewire to connect them to your editing computer. Picking out the right model is going to depend partly on the I/O options you need - for example, the Fireface UCX has a whole range of TRS and XLR inputs as well as direct iPad support. You'll want to check out their feature differences and channel counts to decide which Fireface is best for you.
Maybe you already own an RME Multiface, Digiface or RPM unit and you're planning an upgrade to your editing rig? Don't worry; you won't have to replace all of your RME gear. When you exchange your old machine with a new one that may only have PCI Express slots, all you need is RME's PCI-E HDSPe card to get everything hooked back up on the new computer. They've also got an ExpressCard version to get you sorted on a new laptop.
With RME recording gear powering your studio, you'll know that you've got solid hardware backing you up every time you transfer sound from analog sources to your digital workstation. Getting connected with high-end equipment is one important step toward producing the best work you possibly can.

The message from state senators to St. Lawrence County legislators in Albany seeking a sales tax increase on Thursday was to keep talking to towns and villages about their prospective distribution.
The discussion was both candid and informative, and included a description of the countys proposal to use its entire share of the sales tax increase to provide property tax relief for county residents, according to a statement released by Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, on behalf of all the participants. County leaders repeatedly assured the senators that the plan was realistic and workable, based on present assumptions.
Mrs. Ritchie, along with Sens. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, and Elizabeth OC. Betty Little, R-Queensbury, also encouraged county lawmakers to continue their dialog with municipal leaders to gain support.
Legislators want to increase the county sales tax from 3 to 4 percent, bringing the total with the states 4 percent to 8 percent. To persuade Mr. Griffo and Mrs. Ritchie, who have balked at supporting a tax increase, the county produced a five-year plan showing how it could drop property taxes if it received the additional sales tax. The five-year scenario, now dubbed a tax reform plan, could reduce property taxes under certain assumptions, including that towns and villages receive 10 percent of the additional revenue.
Under a 2009 agreement with the city of Ogdensburg, the county keeps half of what it collects in sales tax and distributes what is left to towns and villages after the city takes its cut of 6.4 percent. Ogdensburg would not receive an increase in the percentage it receives under the countys plan, but would gain more overall because more sales tax revenue would be collected.
The distribution to the towns and villages for the first 3 percent of local sales tax does not change under the countys five-year plan. Some town and village leaders think they should receive more than 10 percent of the additional revenue. State senators have asked for a united front.
The senators and county leaders agreed to continue their discussions and work toward a solution to stabilize the countys finances without adding to the burden already faced by county taxpayers, Ritchies statement said.
All of those present at the meeting agreed to have the statement represent their discussion.
In addition to the three senators, the meeting included County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire; Treasurer Kevin M. Felt; and Legislators Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction; Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg; Joseph R. Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg; and Donald A. Peck, R-Gouverneur.
Legislators will have a special meeting at 5:15 p.m. Monday to request home rule legislation that would allow them to raise the sales tax and to declare their intent is to use the new revenue to provide property tax relief.

Healthy eating is all about math: subtracting fat, counting calories, dividing portions. But let's not forget adding. "Adding just one food to another can make a tremendous difference in your total nutrient intake and offer significant health gains," says Tara Gidus, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. Here are quick pairings that taste great, take seconds to make, and add up to amazing heart health.
Whole grain cereal (any kind) + sunflower seeds
Sprinkling 3 tablespoons of sunflower seeds into your morning cereal provides more than 100 percent of your day's requirements for alpha-tocopherol, the most active form of vitamin E. As an antioxidant, vitamin E protects cells from damage caused by destructive free radicals that can lead to cardiovascular disease.
Garden salad + canned wild salmon
Adding 3 ounces of canned wild salmon to your salad provides half of the weekly recommendation for healthy omega-3 fats. The fatty acids found in canned salmon are linked with improvements in heart and brain health. Choosing wild lowers your exposure to dioxin, a cancer-causing contaminant found in the feed given to the farm-raised variety.
Seltzer + grape juice
Grape juice contains a phytochemical called resveratrol found in the skin of red and purple grapes. Research links resveratrol to lower blood pressure, reduced LDL cholesterol, and fewer blood clots.
Soup (any kind) + pinto bean
s Adding 1/2 cup of beans to soup lowers both total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol -- the unhealthy kind that contributes to the buildup of arterial plaque -- according to researchers at Arizona State University Polytechnic. They found that people who ate 1/2 cup of pinto beans a day lowered both their total and LDL cholesterol by about 8 percent. (Beans are high in fiber, which decreases levels of LDL by reducing its absorption.) One-half cup of black, kidney, or pinto beans supplies about one-third of your day's fiber needs. The heat from soup cooks canned beans through, and they add heft to a lighter broth.
Sometimes it's one simple swap that can yield the biggest benefits.

The Sunni Reeves fundraising auction has come to a successful end.
Back in October a beautiful baby girl by the name of Sunni Nicole Reeves was born. At 21 weeks gestation she was diagnosed with a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. Her parents Shawn and Whitney Reeves found a medical institution in Houston to get Sunni the care she needs. Shawn and Whitney also have two small boys attending school, Ryder and Cooper, so they both travel back and forth to give their time and attention evenly to their children.
Sunni has been through several surgeries and expensive procedures.
The Borger Fire Department responded to a small electrical fire at Kentucky Fried Chicken around noon on Thursday caused by a short in equipment.
BFD was dispatched at 12:27 p.m. to KFC to extinguish a small fire caused by a water heater. According to Borger Fire Marshal Jerry Langwell, the fire put itself out at 1 p.m by tripping the main breaker in the building and cutting off all electricity to the appliance. No injuries were reported.
Due to unforeseen electrical problems with the press, the Borger News-Herald was unable to print its Wednesday paper as planned. The Wednesday paper will be inserted inside today's edition of the paper. Both papers were sent to an outside location to be printed.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our readers and we appreciate your patience in this matter!
The Borger Police Department adds new dimension to Eyes and Ears on the street to help create a safer community.
The Borger Police Department is launching tip411, an internet based tool that enables the public to text message an anonymous tip to Police, and enables the Police respond back creating a two way anonymous "chat".
Reserved exclusively for Public Safety purposes and powered by CitizenObserver, a St. Paul MN company, tip411 puts a powerful new Crime Fighting tool into the hands of our community for all ages and demographics.
On Wednesday December 19th, 2012 the Borger Police Department investigated a reported Kidnapping of an adult victim. The alleged victim came to the Borger Police Department to report that they had been held against their will by Mark Jackson, later identified fully as Mark Alan Jackson, 44 years of age, of Borger. The incident was reported to have taken place at 400 South Hedgecoke Street, where Jackson had been currently staying. The victim and Jackson knew each other, therefore this was not a "Stranger Abduction".
New Year's resolutions are one tradition that keeps coming every year, even if they are not fulfilled. New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year.
It's a time to reflect on the changes we want or need to make and resolve to follow through on those changes.
Borger and Coffee Memorial Blood Center encourage citizens to come give the gift of life next month.
The City of Borger and Coffee Memorial Blood Center will host a blood drive on Jan. 17, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 111 E. Coolidge in the Union Hall.
Every eligible donor who presents to donate will receive a Coffee Memorial t-shirt.
A photo ID or donor card is required to donate, and donors must be at least 17 years of age to be eligible to give blood.
Delivery of the Borger News-Herald will be delayed this weekend due to a power outage. The press has no electricity. An electrician has been called in. As soon as it's back up, the newspaper will be run.

MAYVILLE, NY-- The defense for Anthony R. Taglianetti called another witness to the stand before they rested their defense.
Taglianetti is accused of killing Clymer Schools Superintendent Keith Reed last year.
Dunkirk Lt. Mark Polowy, who is also member of Chautauqua County forensic team, was called to the stand on Thursday.
Polowy testified he assisted in the search outside Reed's home, took pictures outside and pictures of items found inside the Silverado in driveway.
He said he took pictures of a semi-auto pistol (.45), which he believed to be loaded, found in truck center console. He also photographed a magazine pouch, 2 clips with rounds sticking out of top (unknown total # rounds inside), single round and a billy club which was found in second vehicle on property.
During cross examination, Chautauqua County District Attorney David Foley asked Polowy if he saw any signs of struggle in home. Polowy testified he did not.
The jury was excused while attorneys and the judge discussed on the record possibility of a third witness.
The defense wanted to recall a former student of Reed's who testified for prosecution. She had testified earlier that she and Reed were each others counselors.
The defense wanted her to further detail her relationship with Reed which they say could offer clues to his mental state. The defense stated she had indicated that if called she would assert her 5th amendment rights.
The judge didn't see the relevance of calling her again.
Closing arguments are expected to begin sometime Friday at the jury's request, despite objections from the prosecution.

Pub. L. 104–132, title V, § 501,Apr. 24, 1996, 110 Stat. 1281, provided that:
"(a) Findings.—The Congress finds that—
"(1) nuclear materials, including byproduct materials, can be used to create radioactive dispersal devices that are capable of causing serious bodily injury as well as substantial damage to property and to the environment;
"(2) the potential use of nuclear materials, including byproduct materials, enhances the threat posed by terrorist activities and thereby has a greater effect on the security interests of the United States;
"(3) due to the widespread hazards presented by the threat of nuclear contamination, as well as nuclear bombs, the United States has a strong interest in ensuring that persons who are engaged in the illegal acquisition and use of nuclear materials, including byproduct materials, are prosecuted for their offenses;
"(4) the threat that nuclear materials will be obtained and used by terrorist and other criminal organizations has increased substantially since the enactment in 1982 of the legislation that implemented the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, codified at section 831 of title 18, United States Code;
"(5) the successful efforts to obtain agreements from other countries to dismantle nuclear weapons have resulted in increased packaging and transportation of nuclear materials, thereby decreasing the security of such materials by increasing the opportunity for unlawful diversion and theft;
"(6) the trafficking in the relatively more common, commercially available, and usable nuclear and byproduct materials creates the potential for significant loss of life and environmental damage;
"(7) report trafficking incidents in the early 1990's suggest that the individuals involved in trafficking in these materials from Eurasia and Eastern Europe frequently conducted their black market sales of these materials within the Federal Republic of Germany, the Baltic States, the former Soviet Union, Central Europe, and to a lesser extent in the Middle European countries;
"(8) the international community has become increasingly concerned over the illegal possession of nuclear and nuclear byproduct materials;
"(9) the potentially disastrous ramifications of increased access to nuclear and nuclear byproduct materials pose such a significant threat that the United States must use all lawful methods available to combat the illegal use of such materials;
"(10) the United States has an interest in encouraging United States corporations to do business in the countries that comprised the former Soviet Union, and in other developing democracies;
"(11) protection of such United States corporations from threats created by the unlawful use of nuclear materials is important to the success of the effort to encourage business ventures in these countries, and to further the foreign relations and commerce of the United States;
"(12) the nature of nuclear contamination is such that it may affect the health, environment, and property of United States nationals even if the acts that constitute the illegal activity occur outside the territory of the United States, and are primarily directed toward foreign nationals; and
"(13) there is presently no Federal criminal statute that provides adequate protection to United States interests from nonweapons grade, yet hazardous radioactive material, and from the illegal diversion of nuclear materials that are held for other than peaceful purposes.
"(b) Purpose.—The purpose of this title [enacting section 2332c of this title, amending this section and sections 175, 177, 178, and 2332a of this title, and enacting provisions set out as notes under section 262 of Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare, and section 1522 of Title 50, War and National Defense] is to provide Federal law enforcement agencies with the necessary means and the maximum authority permissible under the Constitution to combat the threat of nuclear contamination and proliferation that may result from the illegal possession and use of radioactive materials."

POTSDAM Clarkson University welcomed an expert who is involved with analyzing the scientific aspects of weapons of mass destruction and other possible threats to national security, among other tasks.
William H. Goldstein, the deputy director for science and technology at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif., gave a presentation Friday on Does Physics Still Matter?
The lecture, part of Clarksons New Horizons in Engineering Distinguished Lectureship series, focused on improving the understanding of important issues facing engineering and society in the 21st century.
Physics actually is probably most recently represented in the Nobel Prize going to the discovery of the Higgs particle. I think its fair for people to wonder, How does it matter to me? that this particle was discovered, Mr. Goldstein said.
He noted that much of his work entails national security applications in science and explained ways in which modern frontier physics frequently finds its way into solving challenges related to security.
Many of those problems, in particular in nuclear nonproliferation, counterterrorism, involve very hard detection problems the problem of detecting very, very small signals in very, very complex backgrounds, Mr. Goldstein said. Typically the things that youre looking for are almost invisible. Youre looking for them in environments that are tremendously cluttered. This problem generically is very much the same as is faced in experimental physics, where smaller and smaller signals, weaker and weaker interactions are being looked for in huge, huge amounts of data that are produced for example in the very, very dirty collisions that take place in particle colliders.
At the California laboratory, Mr. Goldsteins main research interests have been in computational modeling of highly charged ions, atomic spectroscopy and radiative processes in plasmas. He has been involved with the laboratory for 27 years.
Mr. Goldstein, who received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Columbia University, said that labs across the country have an extensive list of capabilities when it comes to tracking down potential issues of national security.
The national labs in the U.S. actually have a range of capabilities for both detecting and handling chemical weapons that can be brought to bear on the challenge of finding and destroying the stockpiles that might be in Syria, he said.
He also discussed what his laboratory on the West Coast typically is known for.
I would say we have two flagship capabilities of the lab. One is were very, very well known for high performance computing and have been in a leading position in the country in developing the largest and very fastest computers. ... Right now, the Sequoia computer at the lab is ranked as the third fastest in the world. Actually the fastest computer in the world is now in China, Mr. Goldstein said.
The other major facility at the lab is the National Ignition Facility. Its the largest, most powerful laser in the world. It is capable of delivering two mega joules of laser energy to very, very small targets and, in doing so, creates conditions in matter that previously could only be created in nuclear explosions. So its a way that allows us to study the physics that goes on in nuclear explosions without doing the tests.

How to trim a hedge
Hedges are excellent features which can provide additional privacy, a great habitat for birds or other wildlife and a tidy border for your garden. Most hedges are not especially high maintenance, but do require a trim every now and then to prevent them losing their shape or casting unwanted shade.

Imagine your New Year's Eve dancing, partying, and eating…with sharks! Celebrate the arrival of 2013 at the 12th Annual Dance with the Sharks New Year's Eve Party. Have a good time throughout Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies from 9:00 pm until 1:00 am while enjoying heavy hors d'oeuvres and the music of Kevin McGuire & Friends. Share a champagne toast and step out into the night to enjoy the Gatlinburg midnight fireworks display. Price = $149+tax per couple or $79.99 + tax for a single.
Now is the best time to book your lodging and plan a fantastic getaway in the Smoky Mountains to enjoy shopping, restaurants, and attractions. Start the year off right by treating yourself to one of the privately owned luxury homes nearby. A vacation in someone's private home can be far superior to staying in a hotel.
Many couples prefer the privacy of a sweet and simple ceremony in their Smoky Mountain cabin. One phone call to Cabin Weddings of the Smokies, and you can have a minister and a photographer (with the most adorable little wedding cake) show up at your door. The scenes below are from Cabin Weddings of the Smokies. The cabin on the right is named "Goodnight Sweetheart," and is available for rent.
If you cringe at the idea of formal attire and gala wedding celebrations, then consider a casual Smoky Mountain cabin wedding. On a typical weekend, you can see weddings taking place everywhere throughout Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. As you drive the Pigeon Forge Parkway, you can actually witness entire wedding parties decked out in formal regalia and posing for pictures.
Now imagine a different scene...simply holding hands with the one you love and having a wedding officiant perform your ceremony. Done and done! Now you can get on with the business of enjoying your time and experiencing the attractions and theaters in the Smoky Mountains. Relax in your cozy cabin or stroll the streets of Gatlinburg hand in hand. Have a romantic dinner in a great restaurant. The wedding scene below right is from Honeysuckle Hills, which offers brides and grooms many wedding options...everything from a small cabin in the woods to a huge event barn.
So many couples these days would rather not get bogged down in too many wedding planning details. They prefer the thought of gathering by the fireplace and sharing their solemn vows with only the closest family and friends.
The in-cabin wedding is the perfect solution for folks who are shy or reluctant about speaking in front of groups. This is a great way to surround yourself only with people who love and support you on your special day. Sometimes the best weddings come together with very few details: a great location, friends, fellowship...and love.

Product Safety and Market Surveillance Package: Safer products and more fair play in the internal market Uverejnené dňa:: 13/02/2013, Posledná aktualizácia: 19/02/2013
The European Commission proposed on 13 February 2013 to improve product safety in the EU by strengthening market surveillance in the Member States. This will benefit consumers and will protect businesses from unfair competition. Today, if market surveillance is 'softer' in some parts of the EU than others, weak spots are created which threaten the public interest and create unfair trading conditions. Furthermore, much of the risk derives from products entering the Union from third countries. There must be effective market surveillance along the entire length of the Union's external borders. Therefore, the new package of new enforcement rules will help national market surveillance authorities to cooperate much better to ensure equal level playing field for businesses and safer products for consumers. To this end national authorities should also improve cooperation with their colleagues in other Member States, which will avoid double work as test results can be exchanged.
The package consists of:
- A communication outlining the various elements of the package (COM(2013)74)
- A proposal for a Regulation on market surveillance of products (COM(2013)75)
- A multi-annual plan for market surveillance of products (COM(2013)76)
- A report on the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 (COM(2013)77)
- A proposal for a Regulation on consumer product safety (COM(2013)78)
- A Commission staff working document on accreditation (SWD(2013)35)
- A Commission staff working document on market surveillance (SWD(2013)36)
- Impact assessment and annexes (SWD(2013)33 and SWD(2013)33 Annexes)
- Executive summary of the impact assessment (SWD(COM)34)
Documents COM and SWD(2013)34 are avaible in EU languages on http://eur-lex.europa.eu/RECH_naturel.do?ihmlang=en.

The college basketball season here in Utah has held more than a passing interest for local cage fans as several players on various teams have ties to the Carbon area. As the teams move into the March Madness of conference tournaments local eyes will focus on the likes of Tyler Kepkay of the University of Utah, Tyler Newbold of Utah State and Morgan Warburton of the Lady Utes of Utah U.
Kepkay moved into the Utah starting line up at the beginning of the season as the point guard under new coach, Jim Boylen. Coming off an All American Junior College performance at the College of Eastern Utah last season, Kepkay has fallen on hard times in recent games as Boylen has been shuffling his lineup in an attempt to revive a late season losing streak. He likely will play a reserve role as the Utes open play in the Mountain West Conference tournament in Las Vegas, this week.
Newbold attended elementary school in Price as his father was a coach, teacher and counselor at Carbon High. After the family moved to Payson Newbold won state all-star recognition as a member of the Payson High team. He later enrolled at Utah State and worked his way into the starting lineup of the Aggies under Coach Stewart Morrill. Utah State is involved in the WAC conference tournament this month.
Then there is Carbon High graduate Morgan Warburton, one of the poster players featured in the University of Utah Lady Utes advertisements.
Morgan is in her third year as a memeber of the Lady Utes and one of the leading scorers on a team that has gone undefeated in conference play, a winning streak of over 20 games and has only lost three times all season. It was Morgan who pulled the Lady Utes out of a possible loss earlier this season at Wyoming. With the Lady Utes, trailing by two points Morgan grabbed a rebound high off the rim the basket and dropped in a three-pointer with three seconds remaining in the game to preserve the team's winning streak.
As a freshman Morgan was vital cog in the Lady Ute team of two years ago that came within seconds of going into the final four of national collegiate women's basketball. The Lady Utes, as odds on favorites, are participating in the Mountain States Conference tournament in Las Vegas, this week with the hope of duplicating or even surpassing the performance of the Lady Ute team of two years ago.

Higher Education Advocacy Day
Students at CSU Monterey Bay take a break to enjoy their surroundings during
an Earth Day campus clean-up event.
Segment Leaders Participate in Higher Education Advocacy Day
California State University Chancellor. Charles Reed joined Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and fellow higher education segment leaders Mark Yudof (President, University of California) and Jack Scott (Chancellor of the California Community Colleges) in Sacramento on Tuesday for a round table discussion on the future of higher learning in California. The group also included Secretary of Education Bonnie Reiss, members of the Board of Trustees of the CSU and the UC Board of Regents, student leaders from the CSU and CCC and participants from the Public Policy Institute of California.
The conversation centered on protecting the state's higher education funding, and the Governor declared that he would not sign a budget that did not fully fund his budget proposal for the higher education segments. The Governor's budget proposes funding student access and success by providing $305 million above current funding for CSU to restore one-time cuts in the current year to preserve access for 21,000 students, and an added $60.6 million to preserve access for an additional 8,000 students. In addition, the CSU Board of Trustees Budget for 2010-11 identifies another $511 million, beyond the Governor's proposal, needed to restore and enhance key instruction and services for students.
Additionally the group discussed the state's Master Plan for Higher Education, a document created in 1960 to define a strategy for California's public higher education systems to meet the state's challenges.

Some things I think I think:
If the Gwinnett Braves earn the International League wild-card playoff berth this weekend, they probably won't have ace pitcher Julio Teheran available for their first-round series against Pawtucket. The Atlanta Braves reportedly will use their top minor league prospect next Thursday in a doubleheader against the New York Mets.
PAWTUCKET – Like a runner taking a short lead off of first base, Joey Gathright wishes to not look too far ahead.
The 30-year-old speedster understands why there's a great deal of intrigue surrounding the Red Sox signing him out of the Independent ball ranks, and for a change the hubbub has nothing to do with him leaping over a car.
Clovis J. Gauthier
PAWTUCKET - Clovis J. "Brother" Gauthier, 83, of Pawtucket died at home on Friday. He was the husband of 62 years of Rita M. Gauthier. Born in Pawtucket and a lifelong resident of the city, he was the son of the late Rosario and Hilda (Boday) Gauthier.
He was a deacon of Our Lady of Consolation Church since 1977. He was a life member of LeFoyer and had been employed at the American Wire Corporation for 43 years. During World War II, he served in the Army and saw service overseas.
Evelyn Keough
RUMFORD - Evelyn Keough of Rumford and formerly of Pawtucket died September 1, 2011. She was the wife of the late William J. Keough.
Mrs. Keough was born in East Providence, the daughter of the late George and Lena (Silva) Garcia. She was a bookkeeper for Narragansett Electric and at various other companies until her retirement.
Mrs. Keough was a life member of the Dusza-Almeida Ladies Auxilary VFW 2339 Pawtucket and the Rhode Island Lung Association Better Breathers.
Roland Henry Marcotte, Jr.,
Owner of Countryside Upholstery, Pawtucket
PAWTUCKET - Roland Henry Marcotte, Jr., 54, of Daggett Avenue, Pawtucket, passed away unexpectedly at the Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island on Wednesday, August 31, 2011. He was the husband of Dale A. (Houle) Marcotte to whom he was married on August 22, 1980.
Born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island on June 9, 1957, he was a son of Roland H. Marcotte, Sr. and Barbara May (Titus) Marcotte. He was raised and educated in Pawtucket having attended Tolman High School and he remained a lifelong resident of the city.
Arthur R. Brown
Elaise R. Mullen
PAWTUCKET - Elaise R. "Twin" (Marceau) Mullen, 75, passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 25, 2011. She was the beloved wife of the late Stephen J. Mullen. Born in North Providence, she was a daughter of the late Alvarez, Sr. and Felixina (Lemonie) Marceau. Twin enjoyed playing cards and bingo, she especially enjoyed spending time with her family and friends.
Joseph E. Fitton Jr.
SCITUATE (AP) — The police chief of North Providence was arrested Thursday by state police on felony charges he stole more than $700 out a vehicle involved in a police chase and then asked police to cover it up.
Col. John J. Whiting was charged with larceny over $500 and two counts of solicitation of obstruction of justice after being questioned by investigators, said state police Col. Steven G. O'Donnell.
PAWTUCKET — It might seem like an unlikely place for a party, but the Lachapelle Funeral Home has been the scene of several lively and enjoyable post-Irene gatherings.
For three consecutive nights since the storm knocked out the neighborhood's power, Christine Lachapelle-Miller and her husband, Bill Miller, have hosted a large-scale cookout at the funeral home at 643 Main St. in Woodlawn. The couple and their four children also make their home above the family business, which was started by Christine's father, Robert Lachapelle, over 50 years ago.
PAWTUCKET – The Pawtucket Red Sox can clinch first place in the I.L. North tonight with a victory over Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and a Lehigh Valley loss.
The PawSox own a two-game lead plus a tiebreaker advantage over Lehigh Valley, which has lost its last four games. Pawtucket has dropped its last two to Rochester. There are four games left in the regular season.
The PawSox will send Matt Fox (9-4, 4.04 ERA) to the mound tonight against Scranton's Adam Warren (6-7, 3.57).
It's hard to believe, but it's true -- Shea and Central Falls, two teams who had traditionally appeared in the playoffs during the late '90s and 2000s, have not been in the playoffs in the last three seasons.
From 1998-2007, the Raiders qualified for the playoff nine times, making it as far as the Super Bowl on five of those occasions and winning it twice.
The Warriors also made five postseason appearances during that 10-year span time and won a championship in 2005.
Robert L. Macon
PAWTUCKET - Robert L. "Reb" Macon, Sr. 76 of Denver Street, Pawtucket died Sunday August 28, 2011 at his home. He was the husband of the late Gladys D. (St. Jean) Macon.
Arthur R. Brown
PAWTUCKET - Arthur R. "Artie" Brown, 62 of Pawtucket, died Tuesday at the Philip Hulitar Hospice Inpatient Center, Providence. He was the fiancé of Robbin Mackinnon.
Born in Providence he was a son of Arthur Brown of Cumberland and the late Eileen (Walsh) Brown. He had been employed as a truck driver for Jet Electric Motor Co. Mr. Brown was an Air Force veteran of the Viet Nam War. He was a member of the American Legion Post #14 of Cumberland. He was an avid Yankees and Giants fan. He enjoyed fishing.

10-megawatt solar installation would turn Chicago South Side brownfield site into a source of low-carbon electricity
CHICAGO (April 22, 2009) – Exelon and SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWRA, SPWRB) today announced an agreement to develop the nation's largest urban solar power plant at a former industrial site on Chicago's South Side. The 10-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) facility is scheduled for completion by the end of this year.
The $60 million project is contingent upon Exelon receiving a federal loan guarantee under the recently passed federal stimulus legislation formally known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which includes provisions for investment in green jobs and emissions reduction. Exelon is seeking a loan guarantee for up to 80 percent of the project cost from the U.S. Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program Office (LGPO).
Exelon plans to lease 39 acres of the West Pullman Industrial Redevelopment Area from the City of Chicago for the project. The former industrial site is a "brownfield" property that will be redeveloped for productive reuse. Exelon Generation will own and operate the plant and market the electricity and Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) it generates. SunPower, a manufacturer of high-efficiency solar cells, solar panels and solar systems, will design, manufacture and install the solar system.
"With nearly 2,000 megawatts of renewable power in our energy portfolio, including hydro-electricity, wind, landfill gas and solar, Exelon is investing aggressively but wisely in renewables as part of our comprehensive environmental strategy, Exelon 2020," said Exelon Chairman and CEO John W. Rowe. "As a provider of electrical service in urban areas, we understand the importance of finding urban locations for renewable energy and we are pleased to bring the largest urban solar installation to West Pullman, helping to revitalize an area where industry once thrived."
The project's 32,800 solar panels will convert the sun's rays into enough clean, reliable electricity to meet the annual energy requirements of 1,200 to 1,500 homes per year. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's system for calculating emissions savings, the installation will displace approximately 31.2 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually, the equivalent of taking more than 2,500 cars off the road or planting more than 3,200 acres of forest.
"Today, SunPower's solar PV technology can be implemented anywhere and at any scale – from rooftops, to parking lots, to utility-scale power plants, and urban industrial sites," said SunPower Chief Executive Officer Tom Werner. "Delivering a 10-megawatt solar plant in a space-constrained, 39-acre area is only possible using SunPower's high-efficiency solar technology, which generates more power per square foot than competing technologies."
Exelon and SunPower's environmentally sustainable design supports the City of Chicago's efforts to create an environmental legacy for its residents. The project will create about 200 jobs at prevailing wage rates during construction, maximizing the use of local labor and providing job training opportunities. The solar power systems will consist of many U.S.-made components, including steel tubing sourced from businesses on Chicago's South Side.
"Exelon's planned solar installation will benefit the West Pullman community in many ways, including increased economic activity, new jobs, and the revitalization of these unused parcels of land," said Chicago 34th Ward Alderman Carrie M. Austin. "Exelon has always been a great corporate citizen to Chicago, and I look forward to working with Exelon and the community to bring this high-tech solar plant to the West Pullman area."
SunPower solar panels generate up to 50 percent more power than conventional solar panels and two to four times as much power as thin-film solar technology. Exelon selected SunPower® Trackers, solar tracking systems that tilt toward the sun as it moves across the sky, increasing daily energy production by up to 25 percent, improving the economics of solar power and reducing land-use requirements. SunPower has installed more than 500 solar power systems totaling more than 400 megawatts worldwide, including solar power plants in Europe, Asia and North America.
The project supports Exelon 2020, Exelon's strategy to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year by 2020. Among other things, Exelon 2020 calls for Exelon to offer more low-carbon electricity in the marketplace that will replace electricity generated by higher-emitting energy sources.
About Exelon Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with nearly $19 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 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.
