I'm allergic to peanuts. Are the products you manufacture using peanut oil safe for someone with peanut allergies?
All of our company owned facilities are peanut and tree nut free.

Oils that go through this process do not contain detectable levels of protein. RBD peanut oil is therefore a highly unlikely source of danger to peanut sensitive individuals. We also maintain a testing program that verifies the peanut oil is allergen free.
We believe our products should not represent a danger to peanut sensitive individuals.

Up to 100% of a PET package can be made from recycled PET, and the material can be recycled again and again which helps promote sustainability.
The Utz Story begins in a small town kitchen in 1921. William and Salie Utz began producing Hanover Home Brand Potato Chips in Hanover, PA, in their summer kitchen, cooking about 50 pounds of chips an hour. They sold those fresh chips to small local grocers and markets, primarily in the Baltimore, MD, area. We hope you enjoy our story…
In 1930, the first section of the Utz plant was built on McAlister Street in the rear of Bill & Salie Utz's home. A new manufacturing facility was later built there in 1938, the same year F.X. Rice married Bill & Salie's daughter, Arlene, and joined the Utz business.
Hanover Home Brand was incorporated as Utz Potato Chip Company, Inc in 1947. Two years later, a five acre tract of land was purchased on Carlisle Street in Hanover, and construction on the first modern-day Utz plant began. The company built a 67,000 square foot facility to accommodate the growing demand for their popular potato chips.
As demand continued to grow, so did the Carlisle Street plant. The facility was expanded in 1953, 1956, and again in 1958 to include route van parking and larger potato storage.
In 1967, Carlisle Street expanded once more, and Utz replaced two original potato cookers with two new 1,200 pound-per hour cookers. In addition, F.X. Rice became President of Utz in 1968 upon the passing of William Utz. Mike Rice, the son of F.X. Rice and Arlene Utz Rice, also joined the company.
The seventies was a busy decade for the company. In 1970, Utz Quality Foods purchased Tasty Baking Company, a potato chip facility on nearby Broadway in Hanover. The present-day Broadway plant was purchased to expand and install pretzel production, and continues to produce pretzels today. In 1971, Utz celebrated its 50th Anniversary, opening new corporate offices at the Carlisle Street plant and installing two new pretzel lines at the Broadway plant. In 1975, the High Street plant was opened for an additional 50,000 square feet of production space. In 1978, popcorn production began at the Broadway plant. In that same year, F.X. Rice retired, and Mike Rice was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer.
Expansion continued in 1982. The Broadway plant was expanded, and construction began to expand the High Street plant another 300,000 square feet to accommodate production of all potato chips, corn, tortilla chips, and cheese curls. In 1983, sales began in Richmond, VA, Norfolk, VA, Philadelphia, PA, and Delaware market areas. As demand grew, in 1984, Utz created a mail order department to begin shipping products to Utz fans around the world. 1985 saw the grand opening of the newly expanded High Street facility, followed by the expansion of sales into Coastal Virginia markets in 1987. That same year, Utz opened a Tour Gallery at the High Street plant which remains free to the public even today, where Utz fans can view the manufacturing process of Utz potato chips and enjoy a free sample.
The nineties was a decade of even greater opportunity for Utz. In 1992, Mike Rice became Chairman of the Board, and in 1993, Utz expanded its sales distribution to serve national customers throughout the United States. In 1995, Utz welcomed Dylan Lissette, son-in-law of Mike and Jane Rice, into the business, ushering in a fourth generation of the Utz family legacy. The following year, Utz celebrated its 75th Anniversary, also expanding into the New York City market. The World Distribution Center was built in 1997 at the High Street facility to better handle trailer shipments to national accounts throughout the United States.
Kindig Lane, the fourth manufacturing facility of Utz snacks, opened in 2003, manufacturing corn chips, tortilla chips, popcorn, cheese balls, and cheese curls. From 2004 through 2008, Utz sales continued to expand into the New England, Pittsburgh, PA, Charlotte, NC, and upstate New York markets.
In 2010, Utz expanded into Western Ohio, followed by expansion into Atlanta, GA, the next year. In 2011, Utz celebrated its 90th Anniversary. Later that year, Zapp's, Dirty, and California chips joined the Utz family of brands, including plant locations in Wilkes Barre, PA, Gramercy, LA, and Oxnard, CA. Also in 2011, Wachusett and Michael's chips became part of the Utz family, adding another plant in Fitchburg, MA. In 2012, Dylan Lissette became President and Chief Operating Officer of Utz Quality Foods. The Bachman Company also became a member of the Utz brands in 2012. In 2013, Dylan Lissette became Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board, with Mike Rice remaining as Chairman of the Board. Utz purchased Good Health Natural Products in 2014, aware that customers today are always looking for healthier snacking options.
Today, Utz is the largest independent, privately held snack brand in United States, producing over 3.3 million pounds of snacks per week (about half of which are potato chips) while operating over 900 company owned routes. Utz is also a leading snack supplier to Warehouse Clubs and Mass Merchandisers nationwide.

Attorney General Eric Holder (shown in photo) issued the first official acknowledgement Wednesday that the United States has killed four U.S. citizens with drone strikes, including the targeted killing of Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen in September 2011. Holder also acknowledged the killing by drone strikes of three other Americans: Samir Khan, who was killed in the same strike that killed Awlaki; Awlaki's 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, also killed in Yemen; and Jude Mohammed, killed in Pakistan.
"These individuals were not specifically targeted by the United States," Holder said in a letter to congressional leaders that the New York Times obtained and disclosed in a report published Wednesday. That suggests the three, including Awlaki's son, were killed in strikes on other targets, what is routinely described in military jargon as "collateral damage." But Holder was quite explicit in acknowledging and defending the targeted killing of Awlaki, whose death President Obama announced on September 30, 2011. While crediting U.S. intelligence for tracking Awlaki, the president did not then or at any time since acknowledge that he was killed by a U.S. strike.
Holder said Awlaki had not only written messages urging attacks on Americans, but was also directly involved in planning attacks. The radical Muslim cleric was believed to be behind the attempted attack on a Detroit-bound airliner by the "underwear bomber" on Christmas Day, 2009. Holder said he also played a key role in a plot to bomb cargo planes headed for the United States in October 2010, having participated in the development and testing of the bombs.
"Moreover information that remains classified to protect sensitive sources and methods evidences Awlaki's involvement in the planning of numerous other plots against US and Western interests and makes clear he was continuing to plot attacks when he was killed," Holder told the congressional leaders."The decision to target Anwar al-Awlaki was lawful, it was considered, and it was just," the attorney general wrote.
The letter was delivered the day before President Obama is scheduled to discuss the war on terror and the policy governing drone strikes in an address at the National Defense University at Fort McNair in Washington. According to an unnamed White House official quoted by the Times, the president "will discuss why the use of drone strikes is necessary, legal and just, while addressing the various issues raised by our use of targeted action."

NEWPORT–It is easy to cheer for a winner.
During last year's regular season, North Country's football team made winning mundane, so it was easy for fans to show up to the field and root, root, root for the home team.
This year it is just the opposite.
By now, most people know that the Falcons are a younger, smaller, less experienced version of the 2011 team, and they are going to go through some growing pains.
Last week's 53-0 loss coupled with Friday's 51-0 defeat at the hands of Rice leave the Falcons with no points for and 104 points against in the last two games.
Here I could go on to tell you exactly how Rice's potent arial attack, combined with some nice runs, dismantled the Falcons, but nobody wants to hear it, least of all the players who were on the field Friday night.
So, in summation, Rice won by the score 51-0.
Moving on.
Now, what I do want to talk about is what I led this article off with in the first place;
Rooting for the home team.
While the record will not be good by the time the season ends, here are a few things, in, no particular order, that fans should really key into for the rest of the season.
Let's start with Jacob Buckles.
The senior receiver/safety has been there for North Country for every game this season, rarely getting a rest, and from what I can tell and have heard on the sideline, doing so without complaint.
I may be wrong about the complaining, I don't know, I am not in the huddle or the locker room, but I don't see him getting stupid penalties on the field, berating people unnecessarily, or whining to the officials.
By not doing the negative thing, he is setting an example for the youngsters on which to base their on-field behavior moving forward.
Caleb Prue is another person to cheer for.
He could have easily, and with complete understanding, elected not to return to football in what he undoubtedly knew was going to be a trying campaign.
I certainly would not have begrudged him for saving himself for the basketball season, where he will more than likely once again be the top dog on the Falcons.
Heck, I could have understood why he might have called it quits after the Fair Haven game.
But did he?
Nope, or at least as of this writing he is still on the team, so kudos to him for sticking with his commitment and continuing to play hard on both sides of the ball.
Junior Tyler Sanville and senior Colton White are also out there battling.
Wyatt Prue, who is slated to be back on the field this coming week, could have sat out the remainder of the season allowing his body the extra time to heal, but he appears to be rearing to go.
As for the young guys, Connor Hogan is learning how to be a varsity level quarterback on the fly.
Sure he had taken reps in practice, but when you are thrust into action, much like Buckles was two years ago, you will deal with a learning curve, so lets be supportive and nurture him along.
Is the line small?
Absolutely, but these guys are going to grow, be it either in height, by weight, or a combination of both,so I urge patience from the Falcon Faithful.
Just remember, the lumps they are taking as freshman and sophomores, they are not going to forget them, and you know what they say about payback.
With coach Simoneau and the rest of the staff's guidance, these youngsters will learn, and within two years you might be saying that Brandon Bowen is the reincarnate of Bubba Collins.
Speaking of the coach, coming into your first season as the man making all the decisions during a rebuilding year is never easy, but it can have it's advantages.
For instance, you learn a lot about your players when the chips are down.
Plus, he has a year to tinker with his schemes. They might not produce the desired results in 2012, but when you see Hogan throw a bomb to a streaking Jared Hussey in 2014, remember these words.
Next up for the Falcons is a trip down I-91 to Lyndonville where they will take on the host Vikings at 1:00.

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
COURTLAND TWP., Mich. (WZZM) -- A Michigan woman who says
she was beaten with a crowbar and left for dead, described her ordeal
Monday in court.
Pamela Brabo says her husband, Marshall, thought he had beaten her to
death, but she was able to escape after he passed out from pills.
With the wounds still visible on her face and head, Pamela described
the night she spent with her soon-to-be ex-husband of 33 years. Marshall
had invited her to his home in Courtland Township, so they could talk
about their divorce. She says they ate dinner and had sex.
"There was no
anger. None whatsoever," says Pamela.
She said the two laid in bed and talked. It wasn't until she got up to leave, that his demeanor changed.
"I heard him say he talked to his divorce attorney. (He said) 'I don't
know how to tell you this, but we're both going to die tonight,'" Pamela
Pamela says Marshall got a crowbar and a wrench and hit her several
times over the next two to three hours. "I was trying to say 'Marshall
why are you hurting me?' He said, 'You son of a bitch, you think I'm
going to pay for a divorce?'"
At one point Pamela said she pretended to have a seizure, then held
her breath and acted like she was dead. "He wiped my face with a cloth. I
could feel the bones moving in my face. It hurt so bad."
Finally, Pamela says Marshall took some pills and fell asleep. That's
when she snuck out of the house and drove herself to a nearby McDonalds
where she called for help. Marshall was later found passed out in his
bed and taken to the hospital. Police also found a bloody crowbar and
wrench in the home.
Judge Steven Servaas ruled that there was enough evidence for a trial
and bound him over to circuit court. He will face a charge of assault
with intent to murder.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (KARE) - The birth of a baby is an exciting time.
Will it be a boy or a girl?
At one Minneapolis hospital this weekend, the answer was the same, over and over again.
"Sometimes it seems like it comes in waves, but not usually that many in a row," says Dr. Samantha Hoffman at University of Minnesota Medical Center Fairview.
The story starts about 5 p.m. on Friday when a little boy was born and then another, and then another. They just kept coming.
"I actually delivered baby 18 and we realized that the number had been pretty high and we went out and found that it had been 18 babies," says Dr. Hoffman.
Then they added one more for good measure, 19 baby boys in all, 363 inches of little guys, 115 pounds worth. It wasn't until 7:30 a.m. on Monday that the streak came to an end.

The condition of the county's water supply was the subject of a briefing by Department of Public Utilities Manager Robert Monday when council met Tuesday evening. "We live in a high desert environment," Monday said. "We're mining this aquifer. We're taking more out than we're putting back." The county currently has water rights for 5,541 acre-feet of water per year, and the San Juan Chama project will bring an additional 1,200 acre-feet of rights to the county. Monday described several issues for councilors to consider with San Juan-Chama water, the first being that it will be expensive to get that water up to Los Alamos. The second concern is that the county is "junior" in its rights to that water, and in the case of a lawsuit, more senior rights-holders would have the first priority to that water. "San Juan-Chama has conservation requirements," Monday said.The county must have a conservation plan in place in order to use that water, and a 12-percent reduction in domestic use is part of that plan. Although the utilities department had envisioned an inclining block water rate as an important component to water conservation, and the public had expressed their support of the inclining rate in a survey, the rate was not approved by council.

Bluewater Got Floss
A big part of AFTCO Bluewater's ever-expanding line of casual sportswear are "novelty" T-Shirts, featuring the colorful and comical art of Tom Waters. Though best known in the fishing world for his accomplishments as a fresh and saltwater fishing expert and longtime contributor to sportfishing books and magazines as an editor, photo journalist and illustrator, Tom has also developed a strong following for his unique "cartoon" art renderings. His over-zealous, sometimes extreme "animated" fish and animal caricatures, coupled with contemporary and clever slogans, help set AFTCO novelty T-Shirts apart from all others.

(1) Pick one NFL team each week
(2) You can not pick the same team twice (similar to survivor/knockout)
(3) You receive the number of points equal to what your team scored
(4) Your selection must be logged before kickoff of the game you choose
(5) The Regular Season winner is the person with the most points at the end of the 16-game season
6) Every participant will select one BYE week. You can choose any week you want. You don't need to select that week in advance. If you fail to make a selection by Kickoff time and you have not used your BYE week, then you will automatically get a BYE for that week.
7) Playoffs: The top 12 participants by points at the end of the regular season will make the playoffs. Then, those 12 people will pick the one real playoff team whose playoff points they want. The regular season winner picks first, the second place finisher picks second and so on. The 12th place finisher is stuck with the last team not chosen. Regular season points do not count toward playoff totals. In case of a tie, the playoff champion will be the team that advances the furthest.
8) Look out for number one and try not to step in number two.
Games for Week 7: (note there is a Thursday game this week - Seahawks @ Cardinals)
Registered Players, Standings and Used Picks: (be sure to check here for teams you have already used)
In a shocking development, the Rams (38) provided the most points for the week - on the road no less. No one picked the Rams. Several players had the Broncos at 35. PHILZONE686 remains on top for a 2nd consecutive week. Cyberknot is the leader of game players who have taken a BYE.
Pic Winner for Week 6: tcal2-'s wins in back-to-back weeks. coolade2 had a quality contribution and probably would have won with a zoom lens.
Here are the top 12 and ties right now (top 12 at the end of the season make the playoffs):

Why Levitt and Dubner like geo-engineering and why they are wrong
The geo-engineering option that is being talked about here is the addition of SO2 to the stratosphere where it oxidises to SO4 (sulphate) aerosols which, since they are reflective, reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the ground. The zeroth order demonstration of this possibility is shown by the response of the climate to the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991 which caused a maximum 0.5ºC cooling a year or so later. Under business-as-usual scenarios, the radiative forcing we can expect from increasing CO2 by the end of the century are on the order of 4 to 8 W/m2 – requiring the equivalent to one to two Pinatubo's every year if this kind of geo-engineering was the only response. And of course, you couldn't stop until CO2 levels came back down (hundreds, if not thousands of years later) without hugely disruptive and rapid temperature rises. As Deltoid neatly puts it: "What could possibly go wrong?".
The answer is plenty. Alan Robock discussed some of the issues here the last time this came up (umm… weeks ago). The basic issues over and above the costs of delivering the SO2 to the stratosphere are that a) once started you can't stop without much more serious consequences so you are setting up a multi-centennial commitment to continually increasing spending (of course, if you want to stop because of huge disruption that geo-engineering might be causing, then you are pretty much toast), b) there would be a huge need for increased monitoring from the ground and space, c) who would be responsible for any unanticipated or anticipated side effects and how much would that cost?, and d) who decides when, where and how much this is used. For point 'd', consider how difficult it is now to come up with an international agreement on reducing emissions and then ponder the additional issues involved if India or China are concerned that geo-engineering will cause a persistent failure of the monsoon? None of these issues are trivial or cheap to deal with, and yet few are being accounted for in most popular discussions of the issue (including the chapter we are discussing here).
Is geo-engineering a fix?
In a word, no. To be fair, if the planet was a single column with completely homogeneous properties from the surface to the top of the atmosphere and the only free variable was the surface temperature, it would be fine. Unfortunately, the real world (still) has an ozone layer, winds that depend on temperature gradients that cause European winters to warm after volcanic eruptions, rainfall that depends on the solar heating at the surface of the ocean and decreases dramatically after eruptions, clouds that depend on the presence of condensation nuclei, plants that have specific preferences for direct or diffuse light, and marine life that relies on the fact that the ocean doesn't dissolve calcium carbonate near the surface.
The point is that a planet with increased CO2 and ever-increasing levels of sulphates in the stratosphere is not going to be the same as one without either. The problem is that we don't know more than roughly what such a planet would be like. The issues I listed above are the 'known unknowns' – things we know that we don't know (to quote a recent US defense secretary). These are issues that have been raised in existing (very preliminary) simulations. There would almost certainly be 'unknown unknowns' – things we don't yet know that we don't know. A great example of that was the creation of the Antarctic polar ozone hole as a function of the increased amount of CFCs which was not predicted by any model beforehand because the chemistry involved (heterogeneous reactions on the surface of polar stratospheric cloud particles) hadn't been thought about. There will very likely be 'unknown unknowns' to come under a standard business as usual scenario as well – another reason to avoid that too.

CANTON Sometimes a fortuitous bounce can decide a hockey game.
This was certainly the case for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on Friday night against St. Lawrence University.
Senior captain C.J. Lee scored the deciding goal in overtime as the Engineers edged the Saints, 4-3, on Friday night at Appleton Arena to hand St. Lawrence its first loss in its past seven ECAC Hockey games.
Lee scored after RPI (11-11-5 overall, 6-6-3 conference) dumped the puck into the St. Lawrence end. The puck caromed off the end boards and right out in front of the net to Lee, who sent a shot past goalie Matt Weninger two minutes, 34 seconds into overtime.
It was a real tough goal to lose on, St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel said.
It was kind of a lucky play, RPI coach Seth Appert said. The real good thing that he (Lee) did, was he won a foot race. It was late in the game, C.J. had a ton of ice time tonight with the penalty kills. ... Youre 63 minutes into the game and he hustled his butt off to get himself in position to be in front of the net.
The Saints were dealt their first setback since Jan. 11 despite scoring a season-high three power-play goals.
Obviously Matt is upset, we all are, St. Lawrence senior captain Kyle Flanagan said. Bad bounces are going to happen and sometimes for you and sometimes they go against you.
St. Lawrence also allowed a pair of man-advantage goals and nearly a third as Nick Bailen scored five seconds after an Engineer power play had expired to provide RPI with a 3-2 lead at 17:57 of the second period.
Their third goal was basically a power-play goal, said Carvel, whose team is now 4-1-2 over its past seven games. So both teams basically scored three power-play goals. I thought we really worked to score ours, but I think their first two were goals that shouldnt have found the net.
Trailing 3-2 entering the third period, Greg Carey scored St. Lawrences third-power play of the night by finishing off a cross-ice feed from defenseman Justin Baker.
That was a great goal, Flanagan said of Carey, who scored his nation-leading 19th goal. Our power-play is clicking, but weve got to score some five-on-five goals.
But this time, the Saints (12-11-4, 5-6-4), who suffered their first loss in overtime this season, couldnt complete another comeback bid.
Our third period was real good, Flanagan said. But against some teams, you cant wait. We had to battle back against Dartmouth and against Harvard and Cornell as well. We need to play 60 full minutes and I think thats our main focus.
Lee followed with the deciding goal for the Engineers.
Freshman goalie Jason Kasdorf made 27 saves, including 12 after the second period to secure the win for the Engineers, who have won five of its past six games.
St. Lawrence also missed a prime opportunity to at least move into a fourth-place with Union, which lost at Clarkson, 2-1 on Friday.
We put ourselves in a good position in the second and third (periods), Flanagan said. But again, our first period wasnt as good as we needed it to be. They had the momentum and more energy than us in the first and thats something weve got to figure out.
Instead, the Engineers, who won for the first time in St. Lawrence in four seasons, passed the Saints in the ECAC standings and moved into a three-way tie for fifth place with Clarkson and Princeton.
Its huge, Lee said. This is something for us to build off. Weve been playing well lately and we kind of shot ourselves in the foot by taking too many penalties. But we found a way and this is a big win for us.
By not securing at least a point, St. Lawrence slipped into eighth place, but still trail Union, which the Saints will host tonight, by two points.
We cant dwell on it, Flanagan said. We just have to come back with another strong effort.
nNOTES: St. Lawrence is 2-1-4 in overtime decisions this season. ... Carey and Wick are both on six-game goal streaks. ... Baker registered his fourth multi-point game of the season. ... The Saints are 10-4-4 when scoring first and are 2-7 when trailing after two periods. RPI, which last won at St. Lawrence in January 2009, will attempt to complete a rare north country sweep when it faces Clarkson tonight. ... RPI freshman winger Mark Miller, a Massena native, finished with one shot on goal.

At the Oeynhausen colony about 300 of its 438 gardens are currently threatened by real estate development, as are about another 24 colonies across the city. Berlin has about 900 garden colonies that are owned by the city and that provide urban dwellers who don't have land of their own the opportunity to maintain a garden and escape the stress of urban life. Berlin is currently undergoing a housing squeeze and city authorities are beginning to sell some of the colonies to developers, which has caused outrage in a city where the colonies of small gardens are a deep-seated tradition going back over a century.

LANCASTER, NY - For some children who struggle with disabilities, a chance to cheer, tumble and soak up the spotlight can make all the difference.
Watching twin sisters Rhiannon and Sophia Rosso own the floor at last weekend's Cheer and Dance championship in Lancaster, you'd think these six-year old bundles of energy were born to perform.
Thanks to Elite Heat All-Star Cheerleading and its owner Laura Voigt, they have that chance.
"They love performing," says Voigt. "They love being in front of other people and feeling like the star. And that's what we try to offer them and they love it."
Rhiannon and Sophia live with autism and both are part of the Fireflies - Elite Heat's team for kids with special needs.
"They're like one big family to them," says Joe Rosso, Rhiannon and Sophia's Father.
Rosso says his daughters had a hard time interacting with others, but that changed when he took them to the gym looking for a program to give them an outlet for their boundless energy. "And when they see the other girls out there, it really opened them up. They wanted to be like them."
"It is life-changing, it's something for them to be proud of and to think about and to look forward to," says Voigt.
"And as you can see they're not afraid to go out and perform and you couldn't tell they're anti-social whatsoever," says Rosso.
And that comes back to the cheers, not just the ones Rhiannon and Sophia are performing, but the ones they're hearing from the supportive crowds that come to watch.
"There's something about when they take the floor and they're in the center of all that attention that it just makes them feel so special and it turns something on inside of them that isn't always there," says Voigt.
If you'd like to support the Fireflies, their next performance is at the "Cheer for the Cure" event at the Niagara Falls Conference Center February 23rd.

An in vitro study is a trial that tests a substance in a test tube. Such studies are really only spurs for further research, as they don't prove that a treatment is effective in real life. An herb or supplement taken by mouth must be absorbed into the bloodstream, survive processing by the liver, and still manage to be effective when diluted by the fluids of the body. It's a long leap from a test tube result to a treatment that actually works.

Boston could still move Lavarnway, Saltalamacchia
Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe lists Ryan Lavarnway and Jarrod Saltalamacchia among players the Red Sox could still move this winter.
However, Abraham isn't sure what the Red Sox might be able to receive in return for either catcher.
In November, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports said Boston has been shopping Saltalamacchia, indicating their desire to keep Lavarnway for the long-term.
Last week, Sandy Alderson told reporters he would like to add another catcher before the start of Spring Training, and at least create some depth at Triple-A.
Michael Baron, ContributorI'm not sure how Saltalamacchia might fit now that the Mets acquired John Buck and Travis D'Arnaud. On the one hand, I expect the Mets will wait on promoting D'Arnaud until late April so to delay his free agency by a year. And, while I think D'Arnaud is close, there's really no way to know if he will be ready in April, which helps explain Sandy's desire to add more catching. On the other hand, if D'Arnaud is ready as expected and the Mets acquire Saltalamacchia, the Mets would have three catchers (making between $10-11 million combined in 2013) on the roster, creating a logjam and lack of roster flexibility.
It's also worth noting Saltalamacchia can become a free agent after the 2013 season, and so I'd be hesitant to part with a significant, controllable part for one year of service.
Statistics and information on Jarrod Saltalamacchia...
Stats: In 121 games for the Red Sox in 2012, Saltalamacchia hit .221 with a .288 OBP and a .454 SLG, 25 home runs and 59 RBI in 448 plate appearances.
Contract: Saltalamacchia, 27, signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract to avoid arbitration in his second year of eligibility. He can become a free agent after the 2013 season.

BUFFALO, N.Y.-A Jamestown man is facing charges after he allegedly grabbed a woman's cell phone right out of her hand and ran right off with it.
Police say Robert Zimmerman, 56, also reportedly threatened to harm the victim if she did not let go of her phone.
According to police Zimmerman was arrested just a few blocks from where the robbery occurred.
Earlier this month Buffalo police issued a warning after several similar robberies happened near D'youville college and in other parts of the city.
The Allentown association also issued the same alert.

Tuesday, March 22, 2011We traveled to Myrtle Beach, S.C., to play in our last five games before we start conference play. We got to the hotel on Thursday and we all had rooms overlooking the ocean. The waves crashing were amazing to wake up and go to sleep to each day. The first thing we all did was run up to the rooms and throw on our swim suits. Seven of us were getting into the ocean no matter what. I will say that the Atlantic is not as cold as the Pacific so it was easier for me to get into. Swimming in the ocean is one thing that will always make me happy.
That night we got to go to the boardwalk and eat on our own. Some of the girls went to Senor Frogs, Johnny Rockets, and Joe's Crab Shack. After that we got to walk around and shop a little. The freshmen got some pretty cool balloon hats. Kristen, Rena' and I shared a room this trip and slept with the balcony door open just so we could hear the waves. Lucky us we even woke up early enough on Friday to see the sun rise.
Friday morning we took on Kansas. That was a good game. We had a lot of fight and gave ourselves a good chance to win. Unfortunately someone has to lose, but a loss like that is one where you can hold your head up. We went to Jimmy Jon's for lunch then came back ready to take on Georgia Tech. We lost that game but we got another shot at them on Saturday. That night we went to dinner at Shiver Me Pinchers. It was pretty good crab. Haybale's 3- year-old cousin Luke put on a dancing performance for everybody after dinner. He's a crowd pleaser that's for sure!
Saturday we were up early again to see another beautiful sunrise. We had Providence College up first. That was an awesome game for us. It showed us a lot and put some confidence back in our bats. We scored eight runs in the seventh inning. Everybody did their job and we put balls in play and it worked out well for us.
We took that confidence and went to face Georgia Tech again. We were all in for all seven innings. It was another good game for us, and after we heard them say we were just lucky to play them we really got pumped. We jumped out ahead with a 2-0 lead. We ended up losing 4-3. We were all in though and we played hard. That's all we can do.
We got to sleep in Sunday and left for lunch at Firehouse Subs at 11. We took on Coastal Carolina at 2. They had a pretty good game against Kansas before we played but we were ready for them. We were ahead 4-0 and then they slowly started making a comeback. Every time they did though we answered right back, we won 6-4. After showering there we prepared for a 10 hour bus ride back to Nashville.
It was a good week for us overall playing wise. We made some big strides as a team and we will take those with us this weekend when we start conference play at ETSU and USC Upstate.

Roasted Coffee...
December 23, 2014
I can't think of a better way to end 2014 than to roast the two most popular subscription coffees this year. 2014 has come and is almost gone but brought us a fairly good harvest year. We laughed, we cried, and we definitely drank lots of coffee. 2015 is looking like another promising year and will blast off with some good lots! But until then, let's celebrate the tail end of this year with these two coffees!
Because we will be closed December 24th, 25th and 26th and December 31st, January 1st and 2nd, this coffee is available for the Ongoing subscription - Sweet Maria's Bi-Weekly Roasted Coffee Pairing subscribers only.
Ethiopia Illubabor Baaroo City+
The aroma right after brewing gives off the sweet smell of coconut, floral notes and caramel. As it cools, there is a rich cocoa sweetness, juicy body with a clean tangerine-like acidity in the finish. Creaminess also lingers in the finish while leaving flavors of warm milk chocolate.
Ethiopia Kaffa-Michiti Cooperative City+
This aroma has lots of fresh cinnamon stick and orange peel right up front. The flavor also brings cinnamon, and baking spices. As it cools there is a sweet vanilla and fresh ginger bite. I can also pick up a bit of a raspberry tartness in the finish as well as a full rounded body.
Hope your holiday season is restful and full of hot coffee cups!
Perhaps you would like to roast these coffees yourself?

ya, that is one of the high end boards, Other recommended boards are boards from gigabyte, abit, DFI.
Well, I started looking for another motherboard today, and honestly, I really didn't get anywhere. Does anyone know of a good site to get some reviews and such for motherboards? I tried a few, like Toms Hardware and a few others, but couldn't find any reviews that suited what I am looking for. Basically, I am looking for the best mobo I can buy that supports, at least:
AMD Athlon XP 3200
Dual Channel DDR400
SATA and PATA at the same time
There are many mobos out there, but I am having a helluva time deciding which to get. My wife's system is using an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe, with an AMD XP 2500 Barton, and that board has been a dream... like a rock. I was thinking of just getting the updated version to that board (the '-e') but it only has two new features that I really don't need (wireless LAN via ASUS plugin card, and some other worthless thing). I may just end up getting another one of my wife's boards, but would just like to get a definitive answer, as to whether or not a better board is out there (I am a little biased, due to this board being as well of a performer as it is, so I can't make up my mind).
Any advice/suggestions or other info would be much appreciated.

I agree with Omoshiroi. I've been using Gigabyte boards for a while now and never had a problem. Try this site for reviews.....
Good luck!
Here's what I looked up on various sites, and this is simply a list of the best VIA KT600 chipset boards, as well as the Nvidia nForce 2 Ultra400 chipset boards from just some of the top competitors.
Mind you, the VIA KT600 boards I don't think any of them support Dual DDR. I think that's an nForce only option. Also from just skimming though these boards the nForce boards seem to provide the better extras.
The 3 best boards I see in this line up are all nForce options, and they are in this order Gigabyte, Asus, and DFI. The reason for the Gigabyte is because it has RAID for both ATA133, and SATA options, while as far as I can see the Asus, and DFI only have it for SATA option with the Asus having the Wi-Fi putting it in 2nd.

How to make a backup copy of a .pst fileIf you do not use Outlook with Microsoft Exchange Server, Outlook stores all its data in a .pst file. You can use the backup copy to restore your Outlook data if the original .pst file is damaged or lost. This section explains how to create a copy of your whole .pst file, with all the default items in the file.
Follow these steps to back up the whole .pst file:
How to back up .pst file data that is located on a Microsoft Exchange ServerTo know how to back up your data if you use Outlook with a Microsoft Exchange Server, you have to know where the data is stored. The default delivery and storage location for Outlook data is the Exchange Server mailbox. The Exchange Server administrator usually handles backups of the mailboxes on the server. However, some Exchange Server administrators store Outlook data in a .pst file on your hard disk drive.
Follow these steps to see where Outlook is currently storing your data:

It work quite well if you ask me. Takes awhile, but worth every second since you build your own custom CD.
Has anyone tried the Freebsd Live CD? It looks interesting but still in beta form.
It work quite well if you ask me. Takes awhile, but worth every second since you build your own custom CD.
On a more frivolous note, I like the theming for XFCE4 in the latest version.
I downloaded the torrent the day it released. but um...well, it only had kde. i want fluxbox.
I recently downloaded and burned the ISO and everything seem to go fine. Once done, I restarted my computer with the cd in the drive and after it found the boot directory nothing seem to happen except for the cd drive light kept blinking as if it's reading the disc but it never did startup Freebsd.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
I'm not sure about the ISO from the site, but in the FreeBSD ports, you are installing scripts to "make" your bootable CD.
Did you check the CD to see what was there?
I got the iso from http://www.freesbie.org/ site!

I had some problems booting on certain computers as well. Unfortunately, I was not motivated enough to find a solution. You could try asking at screamingelectron.org. Those guys are pretty sharp on BSD related matters.

CANTON Two new members have been appointed to the SUNY Canton College Council, filling vacancies that have remained open for several years.
Potsdam Town Supervisor Marie C. Regan and Joseph L. Rich, founder of Watertowns Disabled Persons Action Organization, were appointed to the council this week.
Members of the nine-person board are appointed by the office of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
The governors office allowed one of the councils vacancies to remain unfilled for more than three years, but this weeks appointments brings the council back up to full strength.
The College Council oversees the operations and affairs of SUNY Canton, and reports to the SUNY board of trustees. Perhaps most importantly, it is responsible for proposing candidates for college president.
Having a full council is especially important now, as the search for a new college president is expected to begin this fall.
Theres been some controversy in the last two years now, whether were going to share a president between SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam, council Chairman Ronald M. ONeill said.
SUNY has been pushing further shared services between the two campuses for some time, although both campuses are expected to begin independent presidential searches in September.
Mr. ONeill said the new appointments are badly needed on a council that has struggled to meet quorum.
He worked with Mrs. Regan during her years at the college, and he said Mr. Richs status in the north country will be a welcome addition to SUNY Canton.
Hes very well known in Northern New York, Mr. ONeill said.
Mrs. Regan was a SUNY Canton professor for more than 25 years, until her retirement in 1996.
For much of her tenure she served as the chairwoman of the English and Humanities Department and was one of the faculty representatives during the search for college President Joseph L. Kennedy, who served from 1993 to 2012.
I really love the school, and Im delighted to work towards its continued success, she said.
Mrs. Regan said her name was submitted to the governors office more than a year ago, but her selection was approved only Tuesday.
Although she supports some shared services, she said she agrees with the rest of the council that the college needs its own president and its own identity.
Ive taught at both institutions. I know that their goals are different, and their students are different, she said.

This local election season has had all the intrigue of Game of Thrones, with scheming, betrayals and some moments that can only be described as high fantasy.
Fortunately, however, the campaigns have been free of dragons, decapitation and the eating of horse hearts. "You win or you die" does not apply.
In case you missed earlier episodes, here's a plot synopsis:
The land of Portland is adrift after 3½ clammy years under a troubled reign at City Hall. The voting peasantry has a chance to remake the City Council with a new mayor and two new commissioners.
Forsooth!... OK, enough of that.
Your ballot is due on Tuesday, May 15. This is an important election, and you may be wondering who deserves your vote.
It's not an easy call. The leading candidates running in this primary tend to agree on many issues. Voters often must decide whom to vote for based on candidates' personality, experience, trustworthiness and other aspects of character impossible to glean from the Voters' Pamphlet.
We're here to help.
Our endorsements in the May 2012 primary election are based on interviews, plenty of scrutiny and careful thought. We won't waste your time with editorials endorsing candidates who have no opposition in the primary. Nor are we weighing in on the GOP presidential primary, in which former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is essentially unopposed.
Nor will you see an endorsement in the race for Oregon attorney general to replace the incumbent, John Kroger, who announced last fall he wouldn't seek re-election. There is no Republican in the race, so the winner of the Democratic primary is all but the new AG-elect.
The race pits former U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton against former Oregon Court of Appeals Judge Ellen Rosenblum, who is married to the publisher and co-owner of this newspaper, Richard Meeker. This creates an inherent conflict of interest for this newspaper. As a result, WW announced in January that it won't be writing about this race.
We don't always agree on major issues with the candidates we've chosen to endorse. We're more concerned with finding candidates who are most likely to lead effectively. As usual, we've asked every candidate an irreverent question. This year's: "What's the worst thing you've done for money?"
We're also realistic. No one can undo the recession or stop the rising tide of reactionary politics beyond the urban growth boundary.
But we believe these candidates can help lead through hard times. At least, they stepped forward to try.

BEIJING (Caixin Online) — The Communist Party's 18th National Congress generally addressed approaches to institutional reforms of the financial system. To assist, the central bank has started spelling out relevant details that can be used in a grand plan for the future.
This article discusses one of those details: What capital account convertibility means with regards to proposals raised at the 18th party congress aimed at gradually achieving yuan capital account convertibility.
Defining convertibility
There is no clear, internationally-recognized definition of capital-account convertibility. It's unlike current-account convertibility, for which the International Monetary Fund charter sets clear, defined standards in Article VIII. China committed to Article VIII in 1996, and since then has formally implemented current-account convertibility.
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 substance of the commitments and targets needed to achieve current-account convertibility are very clear. There are also consulting and verification mechanisms. But no authoritative institution has clearly defined capital-account convertibility, or formulated clear standards. Thus, without a clear definition, the concept of capital-account convertibility is relatively vague.
The IMF, for technical reasons, divides capital-account convertibility into seven categories, which comprise 40 items, ranked according to importance.
Not completing some smaller items doesn't carry much significance. Whether capital-account convertibility has been achieved is determined by looking at whether most of these 40 items have been completed. If they have, it counts as capital-account convertibility.
Because there is no clear definition of capital-account convertibility, there have been some misunderstandings. One relatively influential misunderstanding involves the idea that capital-account convertibility is based on a so-called "four-in-one" combination of four factors: a free-floating exchange rate, cross-border capital flows without controls, free currency exchange for financial market transactions and international acceptance of a home currency.
Judging by the 40 items listed by IMF in its qualifications for capital-account convertibility, one can find that China's currency is already convertible to a high degree. We aren't far from the goal now.
Let's first consider a free-floating exchange rate. Some people think an exchange rate must float freely to achieve convertibility. In fact, while these factors are related, they should still be appropriately distinguished.
For example, Hong Kong pegs its currency to the U.S. dollar and thus doesn't have a free-floating exchange rate. But the Hong Kong dollar USDHKD, +0.0000% is one of the world's most freely-converted currencies. One can see that the two issues aren't equivalent.
The second factor is cross-border capital flows without controls. Among the world's major powers, there has never been complete liberalization for cross-border capital transfers. Most countries have ways to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.
The G20 meeting in London imposed tax haven restrictions so that tax dodgers are managed very closely. Meanwhile, the United States has leveled financial sanctions on certain countries. If all capital flows were free, could a country impose these sorts of restrictions and sanctions? Clearly, cross-border capital flows aren't completely free.
The third point concerns the ability to exchange various currencies (mainly hard currency) for capital transactions, including the degree of freedom, market depth and price differences tied to these exchanges.
Many countries restrict and monitor non-citizen bank accounts and have certain requirements on cross-border capital transfers (regardless of currency). But the transferred capital enjoys relatively free convertibility and is allowed to be exchanged to currencies already available on the domestic market.
Fourth, capital-account convertibility doesn't mean a currency has become internationally accepted; a currency's internationalization isn't entirely linked to free convertibility.
Why no one will win the currency war
With Japan, China and the U.S. all pursuing weak-currency policies, other major economies are retaliating.
The currencies of many small open economies aren't international currencies, even though they have achieved convertibility (an exception is the Swiss franc USDCHF, -0.3324% ). On the contrary, China has not achieved capital-account convertibility, but steps toward the internationalization of the yuan USDCNY, +0.1803% have been undertaken and have been welcomed by many.
These four concepts cannot be inextricably connected. Doing so would make the progress difficult. Moreover, there is no reason why they have to be achieved at the same time.
Restrictions needed
Capital-account convertibility rarely leads to a complete lack of restriction. But most activities can be free even if some are restricted. This isn't to say that convertibility isn't allowed, but rather than it must be handled by the rules.
Most countries that have achieved capital-account convertibility today continue to manage capital flows. And the IMF has said emerging countries can restrict capital flows in certain ways.

MASSENA Massena Memorial Hospital has begun providing documentation to the legal firm that is doing a study to determine if the agency should privatize.
CEO Charles F. Fahd II said the hospital received a request from the law firm of Hancock Estabrook LLP, Syracuse, to provide the documents as part of its information-gathering process.
So we provided them as much information from the hospital archive as we had, Mr. Fahd said.
He said the hospital also provided copies of employment contracts and other leasing contracts currently in force.
The firm also requested copies of contracts the hospital has with both of its collective bargaining units, as well as contracts for purchasing, contracts with professionals and contracts for services such as radiology, pathology and anesthesiology, according to the CEO.
They also requested information about our Foundation and the current status of that, which is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, Mr. Fahd said.
The study will consist of three phases. Phase one, which is underway, includes the study of all contracts to see if anything would prohibit the hospital from changing its status.
Phase two would be the implementation phase. Following approval from the Massena Town Council, the hospital could start filing the paperwork such as the Certificate of Need to begin the conversion.
The third and final phase would be acquiring the tax-exempt status through the Internal Revenue Service.
MMH officials have said that, facing projected financial hurdles in the future, they need to investigate a public-to-private transition.
Mr. Fahd had said that what was a $124,200 contribution to the states pension program in 2002 has jumped to $4.4 million in December 2013, with a projected $4.8 million contribution in December 2014.
However, opponents of the plan say pension costs are expected to go down.
Sean Egan, director of member benefits and community relations at the Civil Service Employees Association headquarters in Albany, said recently that the market drop in 2008-09 forced the state to raise pension costs. But now, Mr. Egan said, the pension system is doing well and contributions are expected to drop.
But Mr. Fahd has said the hospital is projecting is a $10.5 million reduction in Medicare reimbursement over the next 10 years because of the federal Affordable Care Act, a $1.9 million reduction in Medicaid reimbursement over the next 10 years because of sequestration and a $2.7 million reduction in Medicaid reimbursement over the next 10 years because of inpatient coding adjustments.
But Gary Storrs, a Washington, D.C.-based labor economist with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, said recently that the Affordable Care Act might actually benefit health care facilities, including Massena Memorial Hospital.
From one perspective, it will provide more paying customers in a sense. The pool of uninsured should go down. That should help solve that problem. It seems like a rational kind of shifting, Mr. Storrs said.
In addition to the Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement losses and increasing pension costs, Mr. Fahd also has noted that the state Department of Health wants north country hospitals to seek formal affiliations, collaborations, mergers or other sharing agreements to reduce duplicated services such as capital equipment acquisitions and overall health care expenses in the region.
But, as a municipal hospital, Massena Memorial is unable to do that because of the taxpayer money involved.
CSEA members have said that, recognizing the hospitals financial concerns, they have suggested approximately $5 million worth of money-saving alternatives suggestions that they claim have been ignored. Among them was to switch health insurance, a move that Mr. Egan said would have saved from $850,000 to $1.6 million.
