MASSENA The St. Regis Mohawk tribe is studying snapping turtle eggs in the St. Lawrence River to determine how industrial pollutants may not only harm the species but also impair use of the river.
Program manager Jessica L. Jock said the tribal Environment Division is working with contractor Riveredge Associates LLC to study snapping turtle hatching success in a 15-mile stretch from the Moses-Saunders Power Dam to Lake St. Francis.
Snapping turtles are known to accumulate chemicals at a high concentration, and there are high rates of hatching deformities, Ms. Jock said. Eggs are sent to a laboratory where chemical analysis can be performed and any abnormalities observed, she said.
The study will provide a comparison of contaminants in eggs taken from inside the monitoring area with those found in nests in neighboring communities.
The Environment Division has reached out to residents of Massena, Louisville and Brasher as well as the reservation for help in reporting nests.
Landowners are asked to place a marker and protection barrier such as a 5-gallon bucket or garbage can over the nest with a heavy object on top of it to keep predators from digging up the nest, as directed by the tribes website. They then are directed to contact the Environment Division, and a trained field biologist will report to the location within 24 hours.
The community helps identify snapping turtles. It is labor intensive. People get excited about finding turtles, Ms. Jock said. Its a good way to get the community involved. The people that called in appreciate the opportunity, too.
When you approach the turtles, the fresh (nests) are better. You take a digging trowel, start digging, she said.
At each sampling location, the Environment Division is aiming to get five eggs from each of the nests: 25 total nests inside the area of concern and 25 from outside the area of concern. Even though turtle nesting is not at a high point, the division still will be able to conduct its study with a certain portion of the sample number.
Were on the down slope with turtle nesting. They wont hatch until August or September, Ms. Jock said. It depends on when the original nest was laid. We propose to collect so many for statistical power. However, whenever doing field work, you get what you get. Theres also some leeway when a rule of thumb is acquiring 80 percent of that sample number. Right now we are nearing that 80 percent.
The tribe asks anyone who finds a female snapping turtle nesting to call the Environment Division at 518-358-5937 and give his or her name, phone number and location of the nest observed.

The Ping Anser Milled Putter pays tribute to Karsten Solheim's original Anser putter head, the winningest design in golf history, by introducing seven new models to fit more putting styles and aesthetic preferences. Each new model is fully machined using 303 stainless steel to ensure the highest quality and performance. By offering different hosel configurations, engineers made every Anser to fit a particular putting path. Golfers swing the putter on one of three paths: slight arc, strong arc, or straight-back, straight-through. So there's at least one Anser putter model to suit each path and help the golfer build a repeatable, dependable stroke that will lead to fewer putts. The Anser, Anser 1, Anser 2, and Anser 3 are mid-toe balanced for a player whose putting path is a slight arc. The Anser 4 is toe-down balanced for a player whose putting path is a strong arc. The Anser 5 is the only face-balanced model of the new Ansers. It is for a player whose putting path is straight back and through. The Anser 6 has the highest moment of inertia of the new models and is toe-down balanced for a player whose putting path is a strong arc.

LOWVILLE The village is reapplying for a waiver for Police Chief Eric F. Fredenburg to remain as chief while still collecting his retirement income.
It has had the waiver from the state Civil Service Commission since August 2003.
In addition to his 24 years of experience with the Lewis County Sheriffs Department, Mr. Fredenburgs retirement status is an asset to the village, according to Mayor Donna M. Smith. Mr. Fredenburg does not require retirement system payments or health insurance from the village.
Since his hiring, a new waiver has been issued every two years in the absence of a valid list of eligible candidates. Candidates are placed on the list only if they meet minimum hiring requirements for chief and pass the civil service exam. A list is not considered valid unless it contains at least three candidates.
In 2012, however, the waiver was issued for one year, under the condition that a civil service exam be scheduled. That exam was never scheduled and the deadline to conduct the test has passed. Mr. Fredenburgs waiver will expire in June.
Mary Lou VanBrocklin, Lewis County Civil Service Department administrator, said she could give no comment, adding, Its in the states hands.
When asked whether a new waiver cold be issued or a special exam scheduled, Edward G. Walsh, state Department of Civil Service director of public information, said the commission would have to review it before rendering a decision.

Kathryn Simpson always knew she wanted to be a writer. When she moved from Colorado back to her home state of Missouri, and later to be near her husband's family in Illinois, the drafts of several novels she had started went with her.
But unlike most frustrated novelists whose masterpieces sit in a desk drawer, or on a hard drive, never to be read by anyone not related to the author, Simpson saw her tenacity pay off last year when her first novel, The Farmer's Story, was finally published, nine years after she wrote the first line.
"I started it in 2001," says Simpson. "The first line of the story just came to me one day. I wasn't even thinking about starting a book, I just had the thought: 'The farmer stares at his two worthless children.'"
The 38-year-old theater major had done some writing for a newspaper and an alternative press magazine, but she always came back to the novel. "I started writing and then I would walk away from it for a period of time because we would move or I would be focusing on something else," Simpson recalls. "I would convince myself that it was a ridiculous pursuit, but it was always there: 'One day I'm going to finish this book.'"
The Farmer's Story tells the tale of John Johnson, a southern Illinois farmer whose wife's dying wish was that he reconcile with his estranged adult children, Marie and Johnnie. So the farmer travels to Marie's home in St. Louis, then to Johnnie's home in Chicago, where they confront the tragedies that had torn them apart. It's a fast-paced, tightly-woven story that provides both funny and sad observations about human nature while keeping the reader wondering what will happen next. There's not much that can be revealed without spoiling the many surprises that unfold along the way.
Johnnie lives in Lincoln Square, the neighborhood Simpson and her husband, Ryan Otto, have called home since 2004. "When we moved up from Missouri, we stayed with my mother-in-law [in the suburbs] for a few months while we looked for a place. We researched all the neighborhoods, and this is the one we wanted. We love the trees, the Square is awesome, the Brown Line is right there, and we have great neighbors."
Simpson's affection for the neighborhood inspired scenes at two area restaurants. Johnnie and his girlfriend take his father to the Chicago Brauhaus [a Welles Park Bulldog advertiser] for dinner and dancing. The next morning, the two men head to the Horseshoe for Sunday Bluegrass Brunch, where musicians from the Old Town School of Folk Music perform.
No, the Horseshoe doesn't serve brunch anymore, and you can't smoke inside like the Johnsons do after they've finished their meal. But the novel is set in 2002, long before the smoking ban.
It doesn't seem like 2002 was all that long ago, until you notice other small details: Johnnie calls the Davis Theater to get showtimes, instead of checking their website. While riding the Brown Line to work, he listens to Dave Alvin on a Discman, not an iPod.
The novel is set eight years earlier than its publishing date, not because Simpson felt nostalgic for the good old days, but because that was when she began writing it. "Once I started writing about the farmer at that time, I felt like to change it would have been disingenuous," says Simpson. "Which is interesting because I started my next book, Standing With Buffalo, even earlier – in 1996. But I've gone back almost to the drawing board with that one, so it's set in the present day. Now there are cell phones and text messages."
Where does Simpson find the will to keep working on a novel she started fifteen years ago? Last year, just as she was getting ready for her first book signing in Chicago, she began to experience extreme dizziness and nausea, which led to a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. "I'm still getting used to everything that goes along with this, but I'm much more fortunate than many people with MS," says Simpson. Although she has started a drug protocol that should stop the progression of the disease, the incurable aspect of MS gives her a sense of urgency. "Since there are some cognitive and vision issues that go along with the location of my lesions, I'm very anxious that there's a clock ticking."
But even before the diagnosis, long before the symptoms began, Simpson was eager to find a way to become a full-time writer. "In 2009, I'm crabby, I'm frustrated, I just want to write. So my husband says, 'I will figure out a way for you to just write, so give notice.' And I did. I left my job as an office manager for two restaurants down in the [Fulton] Market District and he found a way to allow me to just write." Otto, an office manger for the Chicago region of AFLAC, became the sole breadwinner. "He's very supportive. I'm more fortunate than I probably deserve to be."
Simpson gave herself a regimented writing schedule and a goal of finishing the novel in 2010. "I thought, we're taking this tremendous risk by me being unemployed right now. We're living off of the meager savings that we have, so I'm going to take as much advantage of this as possible."
The book was finished in May. Simpson immediately started sending the manuscript to publishers. "I was trying to attract agents, I was doing all of the things that you're supposed to do when you've finished a book, which was…"
"Exactly. I started doing more research, I started looking at all the options, regarding the traditional publishing industry. What were the odds? What was going to happen?" Simpson worried. "We've gone and done this. My husband sacrificed all these things to make it possible for me to finish it, so I have to get it published."
Like most aspiring writers, Simpson had a prejudice against self-publishing. "I always thought, 'If I'm going to do it, there's going be a publisher. There's going to be somebody who tells me that it's good.'" But the longer the manuscript sat there, unpublished, the more Simpson started to think that self-publishing wasn't such a bad idea. "I thought, now that it's done, I can't just sit and wait for someone to tell me it has value any longer."
Simpson found a self-publisher in Indiana, AuthorHouse. "They came from the traditional industry and they didn't like what was happening with it, and that's why they started their own company," Simpson explains. She believes working with AuthorHouse was the right decision. "I just felt a really positive vibe from them, and still do. I would use them next time."
Now it's Simpson's job to sell the finished product. "It's not like we've got thousands of dollars that we can invest in getting the whole PR push. So that's why we're totally doing it guerilla warfare over here," she laughs.
Simpson's been fairly savvy for an amateur marketer. She negotiated a book signing at Borders Books & Music in Uptown during Thanksgiving weekend (on one of the busiest shopping days of the year), gave a presentation to junior and senior high school students in Bismarck, Missouri and held a book signing at Bauhaus Kaffee in nearby Farmington. She has formed relationships with independent booksellers in the neighborhoods where the novel is set, and has sent courtesy copies to media outlets across Illinois and Missouri.
"All it would take would be for one copy to fall into the right hands," sighs Simpson. "But forgive me, if one more person tells me that it needs to get to Oprah, I will stab myself," she laughs. "Of course! I would love for that to happen, but that's not how it works."
Not that she's complaining. Simpson is happy to finally be living her dream. "I've been very fortunate. It would be weird now if something suddenly came easily."
In addition to Standing with Buffalo, which is about a sous-chef and the death of a father, set in Arkansas and Missouri, Simpson has started two more novels: Good Men, about some seemingly unrelated men who turn out to be related through strange circumstances, which takes place in the 1950s in northern Illinois and Wisconsin; and one more book set in Lincoln Square entitled The Brown Line, about young woman who steps in front of a train at the Western stop, the people who are witnesses to the event, and the ripple effects.
The Farmer's Story is available locally in paperback at The Book Cellar in Lincoln Square and at Women & Children First in Andersonville. Or it can be purchased online (hardcover, paperback or electronic) through AuthorHouse.com, Amazon or Borders.

Last weekend, my niece and nephew popped in for a sleepover with my kids (A.K.A. cousin camp). As luck would have it, Greg at Candy.com stocked me with all the necessary supplies to make chocolatey Halloween suckers with the kids, ranging in age from 6 to 10.
So, away we went on Saturday night with our science project. We unleashed our sucker sticks, microwaved each pound of orange, white, and milk chocolate discs, and carefully poured our just-barely-melted chocolates into Jack-O-Lantern and Skull chocolate molds.
The kids loved "painting" the eyes, nose, and mouth on the Jack-O-Lanterns and Skulls with chocolate after the pops cooled (we put them in the freezer). We found that small craft paint brushes worked best.
Another tip? Insert Icing Eyeballs into the molds before pouring in the melted chocolate. I didn't try this trick, but Greg at Candy.com says it works like a charm.
The kids did everything but microwave the chocolate and had at least two hours of fun creating and eating their treats on a stick. The final products might not be Martha Stewart worthy, but not bad for the young chocolatiers.
I am going to experiment with more molds from Candy.com to see what else we can cook up at the Gillerlain household over the holidays. My son is planning on making chocolate suckers for an upcoming fundraiser in lieu of a standard baked goods sale. My thought is to package the suckers in clear mini cello bags and finish them off with a twist-tie bow. Why not give it a whirl?
If you're in need of an all-ages and edible DIY project, check out Candy.com's crazy huge selection of inexpensive chocolate molds and hard candy molds. You'll find molds in the shape of lipstick tubes, teapots, states, business cards, police badges, pineapples, zodiacs, owls, you name it. (Note: You can use Candy.com's hard candy molds with chocolate, but you can't use the chocolate molds to create hard candies.)
Lastly, and most importantly, if you've experimented with chocolate and chocolate molds, share your creations and tips. Add your comments after this post or on Facebook.

Developing an effective and robust method with Nuvia cPrime media is simple. Below is general information about the binding and elution mechanisms and an approach to guide method development; results will vary depending on the protein of interest and the feed composition.
The binding and elution mechanisms of Nuvia cPrime media are determined chiefly by pH and salt. The high salt tolerance of the media often allows for direct loading at high conductivity. An increase in pH will in most cases achieve elution. Conductivity is another way to achieve and/or optimize elution and the final method is often a combination of an increase in pH and/or an increase/decrease in salt concentration. In some cases, the use of an elution buffer modifier or a different salt in the elution buffer may be required for optimal elution, recovery, and resolution.
The schematic below outlines a recommended approach to method development. In most cases, conducting a few simple experimental designs to identify optimal binding and elution conditions will yield an effective, robust, and scalable method.
1. Load feed or eluate from previous step directly without dilution onto the Nuvia cPrime media column. To elute, use an increasing pH gradient. If satisfactory elution and recovery are achieved, refine and/or make a step gradient to complete the step (pH 4–8, depending on protein).
2. If elution is not satisfactory after step 1, run a salt gradient to disrupt electrostatic or hydrophobic interactions that may be preventing elution or broadening the peak. Use the pH where there was best elution (from step 1). The direction of this salt gradient (increasing or decreasing) can be easily assessed and will depend on the relative contributions of ionic vs. hydrophobic interactions involved in binding.
3. If elution is still unsatisfactory after step 2 of this process, consider using a modifier such as propylene glycol, urea, or arginine to disrupt any remaining interactions. Other modifiers may also be used; in some cases changing to another salt may also be required.

High-throughput experimentation (HTE) was used in this case study in concert with design of experiments (DOE) methodology to study the mass recovery of a basic therapeutic protein (pI 9.2–9.5) using a hydrophobic cation exchange mixed-mode resin.
Nuvia cPrime hydrophobic cation exchange media are a new addition to Bio-Rad's family of mixed-mode purification products. These media are designed for process-scale purification of a wide variety of therapeutic proteins. Nuvia cPrime media's unique selectivity allows method developers to use hydrophobic and cation exchange interaction modes to achieve effective purification. More importantly, the media have a large design space for binding and elution, allowing for the development of highly robust methods in a commercial manufacturing setting. Nuvia cPrime media are built on a rigid, mechanically and chemically stable macroporous base matrix with a particle size optimized to deliver exceptional flow properties, fast mass transfer, and stability.

CUMBERLAND — State Rep. Mia A. Ackerman (D-Dist. 45 Cumberland, Lincoln) is in talks with officials from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) after learning that the Manville Hill Road Bridge on the Cumberland-Lincoln line will have to remain closed until the end of April.
"I'm very disappointed by RIDOT's decision to keep the bridge closed for such a long period of time," Representative Ackerman said. "This is going to be a huge inconvenience for Cumberland and Lincoln residents, causing a traffic fiasco every day during rush hour. I'm also really concerned about the businesses that depend on that bridge traffic to survive. People were angry when they found out the bridge would be closed until the end of February, and I contacted the department to relay these concerns. But two additional months of no traffic moving through that area could be downright devastating."
The state-owned Manville Hill Road Bridge crosses the Blackstone River, the Blackstone River Bikeway and the Providence & Worcester Railroad. RIDOT closed the bridge in early December after engineers noticed significant steel and bridge beam deterioration during its inspection. Initially, RIDOT was slated to address additional repair work through an upcoming construction contract scheduled to begin in Summer 2013. However, further inspection of the bridge indicated that it needed more immediate repairs. The department estimates that the 58-year-old bridge carries about 4,300 vehicles per day.
"I understand the predicament that RIDOT is in, but I am going to stay on top of this situation and do all I can to make sure that this process moves as fast as possible," Representative Ackerman added. "More importantly, people need to be updated on the department's progress so they can get a feel for when they will be able to return to their normal lives.

|Fatal Wreck Closes US 321 in Caldwell
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 20 March 2013 12:39
US 321 was closed south of Blowing Rock after a fatal accident that involved two tractors trailers and a fire. Law enforcement has reopened the north-bound side, and are diverting traffic to one lane near the wreck site to keep some traffic flow going in both directions near the crash.
The DOT blocked the road at Green Hill Road at the Green Park Inn, and the cleanup and investigation into the accident will keep traffic off of at least part of the road for some time.

Skinny Crisps
Skinny Crisps
The Skinny Crisps bakery has created a nutritious, satisfying, crispy cracker that combines great taste with gluten free ingredients and approximately one half a net carb per cracker. Skinny Crisps are the perfect snack for those who need to eliminate gluten and carbohydrates from their diet and because these treats are high in fiber, they have little effect on blood sugar levels as well.
Skinny Crisps contain only the highest quality ingredients including: ground almonds, chickpea flour, organic ground golden flax seed, psyllium husks, organic dehydrated cane juice, olive oil and sea salt plus spices and assorted toppings. All of these are combined to produce a tasty cracker, which can be used with dips, cheese, tuna salad and in many cases as a substitute for toast or bread. These Skinny Crisps are ideal for those who live a gluten free and low carb lifestyle, or just about anyone who enjoys a great cracker which is not only tasty, but healthy and nutritious. The high fiber content provides satisfaction with just a few crackers. To control hunger cravings, just have three or four crackers with some coffee or tea or juice and you may find that your hunger will subside in a few minutes.
Recipe idea: Crush the Cinnamon or Brownie crisps, add a little butter, and press into a pie pan for a low carb crust.

The Orioles have selected Adrian Rosario, a 20 year relief pitcher from the Brewers organization. I do not suspect he to last on the Orioles and maybe traded to another club. The Orioles were targeting Jose Flores from the Indians.
Deal for Hardy will be Hoey and Jacobson, it would have been Jacobson and Flores.
Also Pedro Beato was selected by the Mets organization.

Painting not selling on Ebay?
I have a painting on Ebay and for whatever reason(s) it is not selling.
I have seen these go for over $500 and yet I am putting up for auction for $300 and have had very little activity. How come?
Link to my listing here: Theo Tobiasse Lithograph Signed Numbered "La Lumiere Du Prophete" | eBay
Any input would be appreciated.

With art you really need to look at using the buy it now or best offer option, and then be prepared to sit on it for ages. If you have an Ebay shop then you can list on a good 'til cancelled basis for a tiny listing fee, if not then you are limited to 30 days and quite often thats not enough. On average we will sell a picture from anywhere from 1month to 1 year after listing whereas other areas have a tendency to fly out the door if priced well.
Its the nature of the beast that a lot of artwork will sit in a gallery for ages before selling, albeit at a higher price generally. However going into a gallery gives you the chance to appreciate it in the flesh. Have you considered asking a gallery if they would list it for a percentage or even buy it from you?

Skin Strengthening Complex
For the most part, the claims attached to this exceptionally well-formulated moisturizer are accurate.
Sun Damage Repair for Decolletage and Hands
Don't let the name of this product keep you from using it anywhere on your body, including the face.
Add to Faves?
Nia24 At-A-Glance
Strengths: Good cleanser and scrub; some very well-formulated moisturizers for use on face or body; company provides complete product ingredient lists on their Web site; there is legitimacy behind most of their claims for nicotinic acid (a derivative of niacinamide).
Weaknesses: Expensive; very small line of products, which limits its appeal; no AHA or BHA exfoliants; no anti-acne products; sole sunscreen contains irritating fragrance chemicals; some jar packaging.
As you may have guessed from this line's name, Nia24 is all about the B vitamin niacinamide. We have written about niacinamide extensively in the past, and without question it is one of many valuable ingredients for skin. Topical application of niacinamide has been shown to increase ceramide and free fatty acid levels in skin, prevent skin from losing water content, and stimulate microcirculation in the dermis (Sources: British Journal of Dermatology, September 2000, pages 524–531; and Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, April 2004, page 88).
Niacinamide also has been shown, in studies from Procter & Gamble (whose Olay brand sells several niacinamide-rich products), to be an effective option for lightening sun-induced skin discolorations, both on its own and when combined with acetyl glucosamine (Sources: Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2007, pages 20–26; and British Journal of Dermatology, July 2002, pages 20–31).
Nia24 is working hard to position itself as the superior, doctor-designed choice for those seeking niacinamide. To that end, the two physicians behind this brand (Dr. Myron Jacobson and Dr. Elaine Jacobson) tout their years of research on niacinamide and how this led to their development of a patented niacin molecule, which they have termed Pro-Niacin. Both of the Jacobsons have published some of their research on the Pro-Niacin ingredient, which is listed as myristyl nicotinate, but as it turns out, how it performs on skin isn't fundamentally different from how "regular" niacinamide functions.
Myristyl nicotinate is a derivative of nicotinic acid, a component of vitamin B3 (niacin). It isn't the same ingredient as niacinamide, but functions in nearly the same manner (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com). Just like niacinamide, there is research on myristyl nicotinate's ability to improve skin barrier function, mitigate signs of sun damage, and reduce the incidence of atopic dermatitis, commonly known as dry skin. Niacinamide and myristyl nicotinate are both compatible with several prescription drugs used to treat various skin conditions and are believed to enhance their efficacy and/or minimize the negative side effects. Myristyl nicotinate is stabilized to prevent the release of, or quick conversion to, nicotinic acid, which can cause facial flushing, particularly in those dealing with rosacea (Sources: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, February 2007, pages 893–899; Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, November 2007, pages 1176–1182; and Experimental Dermatology, November 2007, pages 927–935, and June 2007, pages 490–499).
So why should consumers choose Nia24's patented version of niacinamide over other products (particularly those from Olay)? Well, according to the company, their version of niacinamide penetrates skin better than other forms. It stands to reason that getting niacinamide further into the skin means the benefits it provides will be that much greater. Of course, these allegedly enhanced benefits come with enhanced price tags. This isn't an affordable line by any stretch of the imagination, though at least most of the formulas are good.
We would love to see published, peer-reviewed research that compares the Pro-Niacin molecule with other forms of niacinamide, such as what Olay or the Estee Lauder companies use. Because such comparative research doesn't exist, you're left to take Nia24's word that their form of this B vitamin is the one to beat. We wouldn't bank on that, but on the other hand, the research on niacinamide in general is strong enough to support its use for a variety of skin concerns and conditions. Bottom line: Nia24 isn't the only game in town when it comes to niacinamide and its derivatives, and their claims of superiority aren't supported in peer-reviewed, published studies. You'll very likely see your skin improve from using Nia24 products, especially if you're dealing with an impaired skin barrier, dryness, and discolorations. However, you're just as likely to see the same benefits from using less expensive products that contain efficacious amounts of niacinamide. Although Nia24 deserves credit for not resting solely on niacinamide, the Nia24 products are also further proof that expensive products don't necessarily mean better or more effective products.

This trash is complicated.
A draft local law written by the Development Authority of the North Country to capitalize on the common interests of its three charter counties is reawakening a politically charged debate for some Jefferson County officials, illustrating the complex economics of solid-waste disposal.
The 12-page proposal, submitted to Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence county legislators for review, aims to comply with tightening state regulations by reducing the per-capita disposal rate through waste diversion and recycling. It depends on the cooperation of all three counties.
"All partners benefit from revenues generated by the disposal by the authority," said Richard R. LeClerc, Solid Waste Division manager for the authority.
And that could mean "flow control" — restricting the flow of waste generated within a county to that county's designated waste-disposal facility.
It's a controversial measure that Jefferson County Legislators Philip N. Reed, R-Fishers Landing, and Michael W. Behling, R-Adams, strongly oppose.
"For me it's a philosophical question," said Mr. Reed, chairman of the Board of Legislators' General Services Committee. "The DANC landfill is well run, complies with all the laws and provides a great service, but I fundamentally do not favor flow control as a blanket option. There are instances when you restrict competition and the free market and it increases cost to the consumer and that can be a great amount of money. Waste haulers don't eat that cost; it gets passed on to the taxpayer. There are a lot of facets to flow control to consider. It can stifle competition and innovation."
"Without flow control it keeps everybody cognizant of how to run their operations to the best of their abilities," he said.
"The problem with flow control is that there's not competition and you can charge whatever you want because there's no other option," said Mr. Behling. "If it does come up, I'm going to vote no on it. I think DANC does a fantastic job up there but I think we should keep it the way it is — keep it competitive."
Flow control has already been the subject of two U.S. Supreme Court cases.
In C & A Carbone, Inc. v. Clarkstown, 1994, the court struck down a flow-control ordinance under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution because the law favored a private waste-rocessing facility.
In United Haulers Association Inc., et al., Petitioners v. Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority et al., 2007, the court upheld a flow control ordinance because waste was being delivered to facilities owned and operated by a "state-created public benefit corporation." DANC is such an entity.
DANC is seeking to take advantage of the precedent set by that second decision to ensure the longevity of Rodman landfill, created by a 1986 inter-municipal agreement among the three counties.
Revenues at the DANC-managed landfill in Rodman are generated primarily by user fees based on quantity of waste delivered.
St. Lawrence and Lewis counties have both implemented flow control. Jefferson County has not.
If all three counties were to adopt flow-control measures, it would mean a secure revenue stream for the landfill.
Some legislators are in favor of the measure.
"In theory you could say flow control is working against the free-market system, but I can also see the counter-debate, which is that by implementing flow control you can control the cost of the landfill for the consumer while taking care of our backyard, which is our responsibility," said county legislator Scott A. Gray, R-Watertown, chairman of the Finance and Rules Committee.
"If it's mismanaged, the Legislature has the ability to take that flow control away," Mr. Gray said. "I can see both sides; I can understand both sides. I tend to fall on the side that I'm OK with flow control."
Mr. LeClerc pointed to a recent demolition project on Fort Drum where debris was trucked out of the county as an example of a possible drawback from not implementing flow control. The authority was not able to charge or receive tipping fees on those loads to support operating costs at the landfill.
The tipping fee at the landfill was raised $5 on Jan. 1 for the first time in the life of the facility, according to Mr. LeClerc.
"Fees have either decreased or held steady since 1992," he said. But recently, "the revenues being generated were not sufficient at the rate being charged."
Jefferson County Highway Supervisor James L. Lawrence runs the county transfer station, where smaller hauling companies and private individuals can drop off trash to be trucked to the Rodman facility by the county.
Speaking of the demolition debris, Mr. Lawrence said, "If that was coming here, maybe they wouldn't have had to raise that $5 a ton."
The tipping fee per ton is $44 at the DANC facility. By comparison, the tipping fee at the Oneida-Herkimer facility in Ava is $70 per ton,
The town of Rodman receives a per-ton community benefit payment from the landfill. During its last two budget cycles, the Town Council has had to contend with a decrease in this revenue because increased recycling volume in the county has reduced the amount of tonnage entering the DANC facility.
According to Mr. LeClerc, even though the single line-item amount for a given year may decrease for the town, the reductions in waste disposal volume year by year indicates a positive trend because it means that the revenue stream will continue longer.
The landfill is designed to hold a certain amount of tonnage, so the town will still see the same amount of overall revenue. The reduction due to waste diversion simply "changes the timeline," Mr. LeClerc said.
Some haulers can still elect to take their trash to an outside area where a private landfill might charge a discounted rate. The nearest private landfill for Jefferson County is Seneca Meadows in Seneca Falls, more than 100 miles from Watertown. Information about tipping fees at the Seneca Meadows facility was not available as of Tuesday night.
Depending on how the numbers work out, sometimes it can be worth the transportation costs, according to Mr. Lawrence.
Keeping tipping fees uniform can be the key to encouraging recycling, according to Jan M. Oatman, regional recycling coordinator for DANC.
"In the areas where the tip fee is artificially low there's no financial incentive to recycle," Ms. Oatman said.
According to Ms. Oatman, it is to the counties' advantage to act in concert.
"We can all work together on this to achieve the goals DEC has set out: less waste going to the landfill," she said.
The draft will go through one of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators' committees, where it will be reviewed and adapted to the county's individual needs, according to Jefferson County Deputy Administrator Michael E. Kaskan.
Despite flow control's contentious history and Mr. Behling and Mr. Reed's strident philosophical objections, officials aren't anticipating a protracted battle over the measure, especially since DANC has given each individual county a high degree of autonomy in structuring its own version of the law.
"It won't be the emotional kind of debate it was in the early 1990s, but it will be a hearty discussion," said County Administrator Robert F. Hagemann III.
And even if Jefferson County decides not to implement flow control, it may not have much of an effect from a practical standpoint.
"The landfill seems to be the economically sensible place for waste haulers to take their solid waste and it doesn't appear that we're losing waste due to not having flow control," said Mr. Kaskan.
"The trash business is also about transportation," Mr. Reed said. "It's very advantageous to dump at Rodman. They've gone to great lengths to be a consumer friendly facility. They move trucks in and out efficiently; there's a lot of tools in place to make haulers want to go there. With competitive tipping fees and a business type structure they capture virtually all the market."

Is The World Going Part-Time?
The numbers have it. Here's the story so far. July's modest gain of 162,000 jobs was the smallest since March. And most of the job growth came in lower-paying industries or part-time work. Moreover, this pattern has been going on for several months now; BLS household survey data indicates that 77 percent of the jobs created year-to-date are part-time.
But BLS household survey data is often volatile, so couldn't that part-time number just be due to volatility? With respect to the last few months, this part-time spike could indeed be due to volatility, but that still doesn't explain the longer-term pattern: the percent of U.S. population currently working full-time is the lowest it has been since 1983, a low that was touched only briefly in that year but which now has been sustained for roughly two to three years. Even being careful with the numbers, it would seem that something odd is happening.
There are those who still lay all this at the foot of volatility, believing in a few months these patterns will dissipate. Others speculate that employers are shifting to part-time positions to work around the healthcare benefit requirements mandated by the Affordable Care Act. This is particularly likely in the hospitality and restaurant industries and could explain why so far this year, low-paying industries have provided 61 percent of the nation's job growth, even though these industries represent just 39 percent of overall U.S. jobs, according to Labor Department numbers analyzed by Moody's Analytics.
So assuming that some kind of labor shift is going on in favor of part-time work, what does this mean for employers? Companies need to take a good hard look at their workforces and consider questions such as: Are your HR policies in place if a larger proportion of your workforce is part- time? How will it affect the quality of your staff?
Part-time workers may be less loyal to your cause, and often will need to juggle more than one job to make ends meet. How will the full-time staff deal with the increase in part-timers? What will it do to the culture of the organization? Will full-time employees feel demoralized, threatened and pressured to go part time?
The list of considerations is long. At the end of the day, the depressing part is that despite all the conjecture about part-time jobs, the fundamentals showed little to no change in July's BLS report. We still have some 12 million people officially unemployed in the United States. We have 4.2 million long-term unemployed and 988,000 not looking for a job because they don't think they can find one.
The positive note — if any — is that staffing firms may find increased demand for part-time jobs if that's what the market wants.

Thanks for this post. One bright spot is that the official BLS data can't really catch the strong growth of independent work, which is related to but in some ways quite different from those who are forced into part-time roles. Next month on 9/9 MBO will release it's 2013 State of Independence in America report. Anyone following work changes and trend should find it eye opening as it will include the first-ever economic impact data around independent work, a worker segmentation and updated stats on growth trends. It's a good (and not depressing) outlook for what American work will look like in the future both for traditional and independent talent. I'd posit the world is not going part-time. It's going single employer independent, and moving from a jobs mindset to a work-portfolio mindset. We need to help that be a positive evolution. Gene Zaino CEO at MBO has a nice post on this, available here: http://www.mbopartners.com/blog/future-now

Price City Public Works employees tested their skills in competition at the city ballpark Thursday.
Events were based on the equipment and skills they have to use on the job - with a little more difficulty added to each test to make things interesting.
Trackhoe operators, for example, had to use some really fine motor skills to position the bucket for the challenge. They were given three minutes to see how many blocks of wood they could fish out a water-filled dumpster.
The trick was they could not use the bucket itself, but had to thread a pipe mounted on the bucket through a u-bolt on the blocks and carefully lift, rotate the trackhoe arm and deposit the block on the ground beside the dumpster.

Star Wars
Star Wars is an American epic space opera franchise centered on a film series created by George Lucas. The film series, consisting of two trilogies, has spawned an extensive media franchise called the Expanded Universe including books, television series, computer and video games, and comic books. These supplements to the franchise resulted in significant development of the series' fictional universe, keeping the franchise active in the 16-year interim between the two film trilogies. The franchise depicts a galaxy described as far, far away in the distant past, and it commonly portrays Jedi as a representation of good, in conflict with the Sith, their evil counterpart. Their weapon of choice, the lightsaber, is commonly recognized in popular culture. The franchise's storylines contain many themes, with strong influences from philosophy and religion.

Indira: The Life of Indira Nehru Gandhi by Katherine Frank (Houghton Mifflin, 448 pp., $35) I. The glassy memorial that stands in the garden where Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her own bodyguards in 1984 is among the most visited secular sites in India. Morning and afternoon, busloads of Indians arrive from across the country, whole families together, young and old, noisy but respectful. Nearly twenty years dead, Mrs. Gandhi stays vivid in popular memory. In the view of most Indians, she was the best prime minister that they have ever had.

Oyster Creek employees donate nearly $286,000 to United Way of Ocean County in the annual campaign.
Forked River, New Jersey -- The men and women of the Oyster Creek Generating Station pledged more donations to the United Way of Ocean County's 2011 campaign than ever before, and clearly situated the company as the county's largest contributor to the agency.
The campaign, which began in early May with personal employee pledges and culminated with the Oyster Creek annual United Way Golf Outing in late June, garnered $285,890 – a new record, not only for Oyster Creek, but for United Way of Ocean County as well.
This year, nearly one out of every four dollars from United Way of Ocean County actually comes from Oyster Creek donations. The agencies under the United Way of Ocean County are wide-reaching. About one out of every five Ocean County residents are served through one of the UW-funded organizations.
"Please accept my heartfelt thanks for this amazing dedication," said Linda Gyimoty, Executive Director of United Way of Ocean County. "One of my favorite quotes from Margaret Mead states, 'Never doubt that a small group of dedicated people can change the world, indeed it is the only thing that ever has.' Thank you for helping to change our world!"
"Most of the men and women who work at Oyster Creek live in Ocean County and want to help their communities, their neighbors," said Mike Massaro, Site Vice President at Oyster Creek. "Their donations to United Way are a true demonstration of their pride and generosity."
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues.

I would not argue against the desire for the Society of St. Pius X to preserve its identity, as long as such does not include a persistent and deliberate opposition to the rest of the Church's self-understanding.
I would also not argue against the discernment of a silent apostasy to which we must respond. However, we must not be deaf to the loud or blatant rebellion and dissent from various members, on the right and left, that afflicts the institution founded by Christ. The greatest threat to papal authority today is not a strained collegialism but an arrogant disobedience. Given their continued participation in this assault, I am not optimistic that the conditions demanded upon by the Society will pass muster with the Holy See.
Despite the negotiations, reconciliation will not come by spurning the directives of the Holy Father while not budging upon their own obstinacy toward an authentic Ecumenical Council of the Church, Vatican II. Any such forced reconciliation would damage real ecclesial unity. While they speak of "canonical normalization," they cannot even concur with the living Church over which Code of Canon Law actually applies and is in force. Despite their profession in the "monarchial constitution" of the Church under the Pope, they feel they still need a "deliberative vote" before deciding if they will listen to him or not. Is it not peculiar that they attack collegialism in the universal Church but demand upon it for themselves, even arguing that it trumps papal demands? That is certainly not my idea of ecclesial obedience.
I am also not blind to the possible shades of Father Feeney in reference to the Church "outside of which there is no salvation nor possibility to find means leading to salvation." They are usually very careful not to associate themselves with these extremists, despite a shared affection for traditionalism. While the Church is certainly the great mystery or sacrament of salvation where we encounter Christ, this would seem to invalidate even the more restrained strands of ecumenism. The Church has affirmed that elements of Catholicism with which the Protestants absconded like baptism and faith in Jesus Christ still have some pervading value. While the issue is more complicated with Jews, we acknowledge that Christ is the fulfillment of the one covenant that God first established with them (Cardinal Dulles and Cardinal Ratzinger, i.e. the Pope). The Church is necessary for salvation because there is no way to the Father apart from Jesus Christ. The Church is his Mystical Body. Thus, both are one and integral to salvation. The irony is that if the Society refuses reunion then they will be condemned by their own definition as outside that visible body "by which the supreme power of government . . . belongs only to the Pope, Vicar of Christ on earth." The only possible solution they might find for this conundrum would be the sedevacantism that some of them apparently have already embraced. Declaring the Chair of Peter vacant, they can define themselves as the true Church and appoint one of their own bishops as the Pope, or in actuality as an anti-pope. Given online sermons and writings from various of their priests, my suspicions are that a number of them will join the Society of St. Pius V in this regard. I hope I am proven wrong.
Further, it is one thing to say that we oppose the abuses from the nebulous spirit of Vatican II; however, they continue to castigate the council itself. As I recall, the Holy See implied that such would be a deal-breaker. It is certainly okay and proper "to uphold the declarations and the teachings of the constant Magisterium of the Church." Vatican II must be understood or interpreted in light of the traditions and constant faith of the Church. However, instead of seeing continuity, they stress a break "in regard to all the novelties of the Second Vatican Council which remain tainted with errors, and also in regard to the reforms issued from it." While it lacks certain specificity, this statement can readily be interpreted as a general repudiation of the Church today in all her elements from the catechism to the sacraments. Is this what they meant to say?
Only one of the four traditionalist bishops of the Society of St. Pius X has shown any real interest in the overtures of Pope Benedict XVI. Bishops Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, Alfonso de Galarreta and Richard Williamson threatened internal schism within the Society, warning that any agreement with the Vatican would result in surrendering the fight against worldwide apostasy. This is strong language, literally saying that contemporary Catholicism is a false religion. Indeed, when we look at a number of their priests and apologists, they slam the whole business as capitulation to "the Modernist Pope" and "the Modernist Rome." Some of their sermons online and various writings go so far as to call counterfeit both the "Novus Ordo" priesthood and the "new" Mass. One writer claimed that since Cardinal Ratzinger was made a bishop under the new ritual that he did not share in the episcopacy and thus could not be a genuine pope. People like that will not want to "pollute" themselves with any association with the rest of us. There is a lot of wishful thinking, but after almost a half-century separation, many of them have gotten used to their independence. Slamming the rest of the Church and slurring the Holy Father, at least in sermons and in routine discourse has become second-nature. They do not seem the least bit afraid that they might be committing blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Even Bishop Bernard Fellay has lamented this problem. It has become a habit hard or next to impossible to break. They will not reconnect with what they see as the enemy.
Pope Benedict XVI was very kind to lift their excommunication. However, I would not be surprised if Lefebvrites should invoke its reimposition. After all, they never actually acknowledged it anyway. All it would take is the consecration of another unapproved bishop. Such would force the Church's hand. The Society itself seems aware that their current response will not suffice for Rome. Thus, they will not be coming home any time soon. While pledging fidelity, they are not going to budge until (in their estimation) the day comes "when an open and serious debate will be possible which may allow the return to Tradition of the ecclesiastical authorities." In other words, they are saying that they are RIGHT and Rome is WRONG and that nothing will change until the post-Vatican II leadership gives in.
(Lumen Gentium) "Each and all these items which are set forth in this dogmatic Constitution have met with the approval of the Council Fathers. And We by the apostolic power given Us by Christ together with the Venerable Fathers in the Holy Spirit, approve, decree and establish it and command that what has thus been decided in the Council be promulgated for the glory of God."–Pope Paul VI
Given in Rome at St. Peter's on November 21, 1964.
I will now wait for hell to freeze over.
I do not think the devil will be wearing a coat any time soon.
Responding to the Pope, here is the difficult condition laid down by the Lefebvrites for reunion: "The freedom to preserve, share and teach the sound doctrine of the constant Magisterium of the Church and the unchanging truth of the divine tradition and the freedom to accuse and even to correct the promoters of the errors or the innovations of modernism, liberalism, and Vatican II and its aftermath."
Indeed, it looks like the devil is stoking the fire.
Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig Muller explains (July 20): "The purpose of dialogue is to overcome difficulties in the interpretation of the Second Vatican Council, but we cannot negotiate on revealed faith, that is impossible. An Ecumenical Council, according to the Catholic faith, is always the supreme teaching authority of the Church."

Pelagic Rods
Welcome to the top of the food chain. At least in fish terms. There are no hairs split here, no modifiers, no "big fish on insanely light line". We're talking about the kind of fish that are insane in their own right. Tuna, sharks, marlin and sailfish. This is the world of outriggers, teasers, rocket launchers and fighting chairs. The heavy artillery so to speak. Our Pelagic Saltwater rods are built for the anglers who choose to live in this world of massive fish, and it's not for wimpy rods or the faint of heart.
