LOWVILLE A Lewis County legislative candidate on Tuesday took his concerns about a proposed office building directly to the current board.
Theres no reason to hurry this building, said Duane C. DeLair, an Independence Party member and District 8 candidate from Constableville. It can be started next year.
Mr. DeLair suggested that only 12 people showed support for the project at a February informational session, despite a Times story indicating the roughly 150-person crowd was more balanced in its opinions.
He also requested that the issue be put to a public referendum, adding that potential constituents and some other legislative candidates are not in favor of the proposed building.
I havent found anybody who wants it, Mr. DeLair said. Youd better start asking the people what they want.
County Attorney Richard J. Graham again said that the project much like the controversial county courthouse project from several years ago may not legally be put to a public vote.
Mr. Graham made reference to Article 33.10 of the state Local Finance Law, which states that neither the expenditure of money for an object or purpose for which it is proposed to issue obligations nor a bond resolution or capital note resolution shall be subject to a mandatory or permissive referendum in any county. The law does provide some exceptions, but only for Westchester County, any county operating under an alternative or optional form of government and any county borrowing money to hire an appraiser to contest state equalization rates.
Mr. DeLair said his attorney, a Yale University alumnus, suggests it could be done and promised to continue following the progress of the project closely.
Legislature Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan, on Wednesday said he would be interested to learn exactly how a public vote could be done legally.
So far, weve been told otherwise, he said.
Legislators voted narrowly in March to go out to bid on a two-story, 45,000-square-foot building on outer Stowe Street.
Detractors balk at the cost, while supporters suggest that putting up a new building would be the best long-term move by eliminating any lease-related constraints, consolidating county offices into a few major complexes rather than scattering them all over the village and using $4.5 million to $5 million in state Department of Social Services funding that would not be available for nonconstruction options.
Legislators who have been divided on the issue will wait until after bids are revealed on Sept. 19 before deciding whether to move forward with construction.
I dont want to deny anybody the right to make a decision until they determine the true economics of it, Mr. Tabolt said.
While the cost has been estimated at around $11 million, the choice would be easier if the bids come in either very high or very low, he said.
Lawmakers on Tuesday voted 8-1 to initiate a state Environmental Quality Review process on the project, with Legislator Paul M. Stanford, D-Watson, opposed. The resolution specifies that the board would be lead agency and would consider at its Oct. 1 meeting any environmental impact of the project.
Andrew J. Davis, a Clinton County resident who is suing the county for selling his Osceola camp property at last years delinquent tax auction, also addressed legislators Tuesday, asking them to return the property to him.
The 31-year state corrections officer acknowledged that he had been delinquent on his property taxes but said he did not know about the sale until after it was completed, as county notifications apparently were returned as undeliverable.
Im asking you to do the right thing, he said.
Lawmakers discussed the situation in executive session but took no action.
Mr. Tabolt said Wednesday that it is an unfortunate situation but it appears the county followed required procedures under law. However, he didnt rule out making changes in the law in an attempt to avoid a similar situation in the future.

The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S3 has been an interesting one to watch. All the pre-market speculation and hype have rivaled what always ushers in a new Apple. Samsung is the leader in global smartphone sales, and, with the arrival of their Galaxy S3, they've proven they can create a device that is a serious Apple contender.
Protect your Galaxy S3 from the hustle and bustle of everyday life with the latest Samsung Galaxy S3 accessories.
Samsung has a reputation for being pretty slow with bringing its accessories online. Industry leading manufacturers continue to provide the greatest selection of top brand cell phone accessories from Bags and Sleeves, Batteries, Bluetooth Headsets and Bluetooth Car Kits, Car Holders, Cases and Skins, Data Cables, Earbuds and Headsets, Keyboard and Protectors, Memory Cards, Screen Protectors, Speakers and Docks as well as Stylus and Pens.
Let's take an initial look at the Galaxy S3, and see if it lives up to the buzz.
The Galaxy S3 comes in two colors: marble white and "Pebble Blue" (although the blue has a distinctly blue-gray look). Its rounded-edges and HyperGlaze polycarbonate backing enhances the smooth (but not slick) feeling of having it in your hand. The Galaxy S3 is not a cheap-feeling phone. It's got a really solid Gorilla Glass 2 front, a well-packaged interior and a robust battery cover.
Samsung increased the screen size from the Galaxy S 2 's 4.3 to 4.8in for the S3. Its dimensions - 70 x 8.9 x 136mm - make it very slim. It weighs in at 132g, less than the Apple iPhone 4S. Compared to the weight of the One X, it's almost identical. Overall, the S3 is nice to hold. Samsung has created a large device that doesn't feel like one.
The display is a superb Super AMOLED with a 720x1280 resolution - identical to the HTC One X. The contrast is excellent and the screen looks very bright. Whites are more luminous. Animations look clean and crisp. You hardly notice the use of PenTile array technology.
On the downside, the auto-brightness setting makes for awkward transitions. The screen will notably dim and then brighten again despite there being no change in external lighting. The screen is readable in bright light, although not great in direct sunlight.
It's nice to see a raised rather than recessed physical home button, though its short-and-wide, making it a bit more difficult to consistently activate. It might take some getting used to.
Sitting on either side of the home button are capacitive touch buttons for the menu and back functions. These are very sensitive. You might find yourself frequently backing out of apps by accident.
You can tell that Samsung really focused on optimizing the Galaxy S3 for performance.
Operating System:
The North American version of the device features a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 SoC and 2GB of RAM. These specs ensure that the S3 will be LTE-compatible. By contrast, the international S3 has a quad-core Exynos processor and 1GB of RAM. Storage wise, there are 16GB and 32GB models available. Word has it that there's a 64GB on its way.
It remains to be seen how performance is affected by the extra gigabyte of RAM. Samsung says that the extra memory won't affect battery life. In a perfect world, more storage will improve app performance, load times and overall multitasking, but not draw a lot of juice.
While the Adreno 225 GPU inside the Snapdragon S4 SoC trails that of the Mali-400 that powers the international Galaxy S3's Mali-400, CPU-based performance is still incredible. Single-threaded performance is a vast improvement over the Cortex-A9 of the quad-core Exynos 4212. The sacrifice is gaming performance.
Turn on the screen and swipe through the seven home screens. You'll find that the swiping action is smooth in a way that no other Android handset has been able to achieve. Just looking at overall performance, Galaxy S3 is comparable to HTC One X, with the exception of a perceptible improvement to the smoothness of Android operation on the Galaxy S3.
The camera system has an 8MP rear lens as well as a front-facing camera. From a subjective viewpoint, the rear lens took some nice pictures, but that's just an initial impression. There's a burst mode and a "best picture" function that will nominate what the software regards as the "best shot" from a group. Video can be taken at 1080p and the macro functions were very impressive.
The Android 4.0.4 with TouchWIZ Nature UX software makes the camera easy to operate with Android. For instance, it's very cool when you can swipe your palm over the screen to take a screenshot.
It's too bad there isn't a dedicated camera shutter button. Still, the interface is nicely updated and shutter performance is significantly improved.
The Snapdragon S4 SoC is a very efficient chip and based on early tests of the international version, Samsung has done a great job designing in features that maximize battery life. The Galaxy S3's hefty 2100mAh battery is impressive. The North American Galaxy S3 should stay charged longer than the European quad-core Exynos processor, but it hasn't lived up to the claims that it has double the life of the One X battery. In fact, we found the two to be almost identical. Take note that the Galaxy S3 has a removable battery. The HTC One X does not.
Digital Content
This version of S Voice is supposed to allow for greater voice control than previous iterations, but in testing, its performance was patchy. For instance, waking up the phone using spoken commands didn't always work.
The Smart Stay function allows you to continuously read a screen without worrying about the backlight dimming. This is possible because of the impressive front camera.
A motion control feature allows you to automatically dial your contacts by raising the phone to your ear. Neither the Smart Stay nor the motion control functions were enabled by default, so you'll have to dig through the settings on your phone.
Polaris Office is a nice feature for business users. It allows you to open Word, Excel and PowerPoint files on your phone.
Last Words
Well done, Samsung. Despite the company's pre-market theme describing a design "inspired by nature", they've created a functional and fun smartphone that may have attracted a long-term following.
Serious competition among smartphone makers is always good for us users. It gives us more choices. Samsung's Galaxy S3, the HTC One X and even the HTC One S might mean you'll have a tough time going with only one new smartphone.
It's nice to know that regardless of carrier or network speed, all S3 models are identical on the outside. The difference is on the inside. If you're in the market for a new smartphone, you might just want to wait until the Galaxy S 3's June 20th release to make your decision.

As we mentioned in Look Forward to: Spring 09 Trends, filmy fabrics are on our fashion radar this season and we've already detected their presence on several of our favorite trendsetters. Rather than simply selecting flowy, diaphanous pieces, these red carpet regulars are turning up the heat by choosing body-conscious frocks with transparent details for a look that's sheer and sexy.
Never one to play it safe, Alice Dellal recently pulled off a particularly risqué version of the look at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in New York City. Dellal turned heads in Alexander Wang's body-hugging Stretch Netting Embroidered Dress ($955) and a pair of peep-toe platform booties from Wang's new footwear collection-a straight-from-the-runway combo that definitely pushes the envelope.
Both Lindsay Lohan and Hana Soukupova also sported little black dresses sexed up with see-through elements for the premiere of Madonna's film, Filth and Wisdom, in NYC a few months ago. Since Dolce & Gabbana hosted the event, the starlets were each appropriately dressed in the designers' creations and patent footwear. A slightly-less-envelope-pushing interpretation of this trend was demonstrated by the lovely Emma Watson at the Los Angeles premiere of The Tales of Despereaux. Watson beamed in a stunning navy blue dress by the up-and-coming designer William Tempest and lace-up peep-toe heels. The invariably well-dressed young actress made an excellent choice with this dress: the silhouette is modest while the slightly sheer bodice and sleeves are a bit daring. The result is a look that's both age-appropriate and edgy-always an excellent combination!
While not all of us have the sylph-like physiques that it takes to pull off these form-fitting, mostly-transparent ensembles, there are several pieces with more subtle sheer attributes to consider. For instance, Milly's Paillette Shift Dress
($280) and Rag & Bone's Zhora Dress
($150) both offer effective, subtle renditions of the trend. You may also consider a frock of a lighter color, like Pencey's Deco Dress ($428). If you want to apply the trend to your work wardrobe, just remember that a little sheer goes a long way! Try pairing Valentino Roma's Sheer Knit Top
($690) with a blazer, or even consider layering Alexander Wang's Knit Tank
($425) with a thin tank and a cardigan, for an unexpected and sophisticated ensemble.-Jessica Amento

This may have been discussed at some point but if it has I can't find a record in the archives, so I'm going to ask now.
This is based on something I read on Uncyclopedia (HERE).
Current orthodox Pastafarian doctrine says that the Flying Spaghetti Monster created everything by waving His Noodly Appendage, that he made a mountain, trees and a midgit (sic) on the 1st day, then subsequently made everything else, including the first 3-day weekend, the Shroud of Napkin, and fake carbon atoms to fool scientists and geologists. He then rested on the 5th, 6th and 7th days. Doctrine also says that any results that show otherwise are because the FSM changes them.
However Uncyclopedia mentions a controversial theory called Automated Creationism. This theory proposes that the Flying Spaghetti Monster designed a process by which all of creation would come into existence through natural progression, initially triggered by Him in one significant event, called the Big Boil*. Such natural progression would also serve to mislead scientists, something that causes the Flying Spaghetti Monster much delight.
(The Big Boil Event took longer than He expected until He created salt and added it to the mix. This initiated the Big Boil and also explains why the sea is salty.)
So - thoughts?

I think you have to be careful with immigration. It may seem like the right thing to do, but if you do it poorly it can actually cause lowering of economic stability helping nobody. We can look at education for example and realize that many people coming into our country will not have good jobs therefore they remain in poverty thus the oppurtunity of their children for better education lacks. We know since most schools are funded by local bonds, areas that are wealthy have better schools with better results, then the poor areas. It also makes a difference between 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation on literacy. We can't continue to live in this fantasy world of in america you can move up the ladder. the stats show a different story with the U.S. being last in Social economic mobility between all developed democracies in the world.
If we are to do something.. We need the dept of labor stats to work with immigration for a more balanced approach so we don't have huge amounts of unemployment and medicaid cost, why at the same time finding a better solution to solving grades 1-12 more equally and reducing cost for college (which increased more than healthcare)... I think we will also need to bring jobs back to the U.S....

The question may seem strange at first glance ... And I may be alone in this situation. But currently I want to improve my skill through learning new framework.
however, do a simple "
HelloWorld" application does not satisfy me. I think a practical project is required to apprehend the basics of a framework.
I know there is many scholar-like project like design a library manager or CMS. But I have recently planned to learn ~3 differents frameworks and I can't find any motivations through "unexciting" project. In the end I have not started any framework ...
I'm aware of I do not develop the project of the year ... I'm just looking for something a bit exciting.
I do not expect any project subject, anyway stimulation provided by a project is something subjective. But I want to know your inspiration ! (or method to learn framework ^^)
I'm talking about web-dev framework but I'm open to any kind information !

|Maps aren't just for picking the best way to drive to grandma's house. Your brain and body use 'maps' to translate incoming sensory signals into meaningful information, and to translate brain signals for things like movement into controlled motion. How your body sees itself -- and the world around it -- through these maps may have a big influence on how it behaves. In this segment, Ira talks with science writers Sandra and Matthew Blakeslee about their new book The Body Has a Mind of Its Own: How Body Maps in Your Brain Help You Do (Almost) Everything Better, and about the idea of 'body maps' and their role in connecting the body and brain.
