I really like the quality of the material of this skin for my original XBOX. It has wonderful color, very durable and not difficult to apply to the console.

Without properly working faucet handles, the kitchen sink isn't much of a sink at all. The centerpiece of a back line at times, the sink needs all its faucet pieces functioning to do any good, and faucet handles are an essential piece you can't do without. When one breaks or malfunctions, finding a replacement is important. Flip through the parts diagram that came with the faucet or give us a call with the model number, and track down the faucet handles you need… before those dishes start piling up.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Portland Police are investigating after a student at Riverton Elementary school brought an unloaded gun to school this morning.
Assistant Portland Police Chief Vern Malloch said the 10-year old boy showed the gun to a friend. The friend told the boy he should not have the gun, and brought the gun to a teacher, who alerted school officials. Those school officials then called the police and put the school into lockdown. Police quickly determined there was no other threat, and school continued as usual. Malloch said both the friend and school officials acted exactly as they should.
"Things I want to stress here, no one was hurt," Malloch said. "There was no threat made with the gun."
Police are still investigating where the gun came from. They plan to issue the boy a summons, "not necessarily looking for a criminal conviction, but more to get him into the system so we can get help and find out how he had access and how he was able to get a gun into school, and see if there are other services that are needed," Malloch said.
Parents we spoke to say they received an automated phone call this morning telling them about the gun and that their kids were safe. A few came to pick their kids up when they got the news.

She is interested in a wide variety of subjects including math, art and instrumental music. Math, of these, is her favorite. She is self-motivated to succeed, according to Diane Purvis.

Bruce plays basketball, and soccer and plays with a team first attitude, said teacher Stephanie Forget.
Brandi is someone you can count on for giving an uplifting smile. She is a wonderful person who is more than willing to do whatever is asked of her. Her kind and sweet attitude is a welcome character trait. Brandi always looks at others in a positive way and befriends everyone. Being her own person she does not fall into overly clicky situations.

The IRS Will Not Look the Other Way
Yes, we know there's been a recession. It's been the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression; in fact the United States has never seen anything quite like this. But that does not mean the Internal Revenue Service http://www.irs.gov is going to overlook your worker classification errors -- or should I say misclassification peccadillos.
In a recent conversation with the IRS on worker classification, I was told that companies are frantically cutting costs and getting careless about it. For instance, businesses big and small don't want to increase headcount. So they are bringing in people to do the same jobs as their employees. http://www.sba.gov/content/independent-contractors-vs-employees And then a disgruntled 'contractor' files an unemployment claim when the project is over. Contractors can't file unemployment claims. As a result, the company is audited.
Then there are those corporations that are letting their independent contractors manage their own taxes, which previously were handled by the business. Some independent contractors skip paying taxes on their freelancing or consulting income altogether. But remember, before a contractor considers hiding income from the IRS, you should know that any client who pays a contractor more than $600 in any calendar year must report this income.
So the IRS will check a contractor's tax returns to see whether they are reporting this income. Penalties and interest on back taxes, especially self-employment taxes, can be quite high. But the kicker is that the IRS uses this method to find companies to audit.
So the recession should make you even more vigilant about worker classification. To understand misclassification and get free advice from the IRS come to the Risk Forum http://www.staffingindustry.com/Store/Conferences/2011-CW-Risk-Forum-Registration-1306 at Las Vegas in October. You won't be disappointed.

SALT LAKE/ PRICE - Kyriaki 'Koula' Marakis, beloved mother, yiayia, nona, sister, aunt and friend passed away peacefully on April 15, 2011.
Koula was born in Kampoi, Crete, Greece on Oct. 16, 1928 to Georgios and Hrysi Katzourakis Xerakis. As the youngest of seven siblings, she showed everyone around her the beauty and optimism that encircled the entirety of her being. With the onset of World War II and the Battle of Crete, her confidence in life kept everyone around her motivated during a time of misery and despair.
In October of 1955, she married Nicholas Constantine Marakis in Crete, Greece. Shortly after her wedding, Koula emigrated from Greece to Price. She spent the following decade helping her husband in the family sheep business. Koula spent numerous days and nights at the family's sheep camp in Scofield where she learned to love the great outdoors. Her experiences in Scofield would translate to life-time hobbies of fishing and hiking. Koula was also a faithful member of the Greek Orthodox Church of Price, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, and had an active role in the Price Greek community. She was a member of the Philoptochos Society and the Cretan Ladies Club, Arkadi. She loved hosting events and cooking for friends and family.
Her family will always remember her for her fantastic sense of humor, her profound wisdom, and her grace. Everyone who knew her felt that they were supported, accepted, and loved unconditionally.
Koula will always be remembered as a loving and caring person. She had a charming personality, a keen sense of humor, and a contagious smile. "We thought of you with love today but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday and days before that too. We think of you in silence, we often speak your name, but all we have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake with which we'll never part. God has you in His keeping we have you in our heart."
Koula is survived by her loving daughter Helen Marakis Liodakis; son-in-law George Liodakis; beloved grandchildren: Nikos and Manoli Liodakis; one brother Mihalis Xerakis of Crete, Greece; sister-in-laws: Olga Xerakis and Georgia Xerakis of Crete, Greece; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and goddaughters. She is preceded in death by her husband Nicholas; parents: Georgios and Hrysi; brothers: Nikos, Manolis, and Sarantos; and sisters: Anastasia and Manolitsa.
Koula's viewing will be held on Monday, April 18, 2011 from 6 - 8 pm at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park and Mortuary (3401 Highland Drive Salt Lake City, Utah 84106), with Trisagion prayer service at 7:30 p.m. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, April 19 at Prophet Elias Greek Orthodox Church (5335 South Highland Drive, Holladay, UT 84117) at 10 a.m. Directly followed by interment at the Price City Cemetery, (595 E. 400 N., Price, UT 84501) at 1:30 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions be made to any Greek Orthodox Church or St. Sophia Hellenic Orthodox School. May her memory be eternal!

The Heart of the Matter: The Three Key Breakthroughs to Preventing Heart Attacks (Paperback)
By the head of the Open Heart ICU at Columbia Presbyterian Hospitalan incredibly persuasive and revolutionary approach for lowering the risks of heart disease this plan links high cholesterol and Chlamydia as risk factors and lays out a program to combat both.
We are on the cusp of an enormous breakthrough in preventing heart attacks forever. We are in the same place we were just before penicillin revolutionized the treatment of infectious disease, before fluoride eradicated tooth decay, and just before the polio vaccine brought that disease under control in this country. In The Heart of the Matter, Dr. Peter Salgo, the associate director of the Open Heart ICU at New York Presbyterian Hospital, offers a simple formula to treat people before they get sick, which in turn will prevent heart attacks before they occur.
For the first time in history, we know what really causes heart attack. And that knowledge has led Dr. Salgo to this amazingly simple and straightforward program that will save millions of lives. Dr. Salgo recommends using statins, antibiotics, and aspirin to prevent coronary heart disease. This groundbreaking book also offers a selftest that readers can take to assess their own personal risk for heart disease.
The Heart of the Matter is the beginning of a change in the treatment of heart disease. It introduces a preventative program that includes traditional diet and exercise guidelines as well as a blanket recommendation that adults, even many young adults, incorporate medicines into the ongoing pursuit for health and longevity something that, until now, seemed impossible to many. Now, without using a lot of indecipherable medical jargon, this invaluable new guide will show you exactly how to attain that longer, healthier life that so many people wish for.

Apricot Jam with Saffron and Rose
You know how some people hide money in their mattresses, I'm pretty sure my Dad does that with saffron. There is a running joke in my family that he has a secret bounty worth millions stashed away. He won't tell anyone where it is or how much he has, but whenever we are running low he always seems to have more. I know it is a big time luxury to have a seemingly endless supply of the world's most expensive spice so I try to only use my stash on special occasions and this jam is totally worth it. I usually gravitate towards simple jams, just fruit, sugar, lemon juice and maybe a bit of Pomona's if I am making jelly, but I am trying to step up my jamming this season so I pulled out the big guns. Saffron and rose are a common paring in Middle Eastern desserts so to honor my Pops and his generous, spicy spirit I put them together with some rosy cheeked apricots and made some fancy jam.
Apricot Jam with Saffron and Rose
Inspired by The Blue Chair Jam Cookbook
yield, roughly 2 pints jam
2lbs apricots (weight after removing the pits)
14oz sugar ( I used vanilla sugar, but it's not necessary)
juice of 1 lemon
pinch of saffron threads
1/4t-1t rose water, depending on your taste
1. Dump the pitted apricots and sugar into your canning pot and mash with a potato masher or fork, or your clean hands if you feel like it. Don't worry about making the pieces uniform in size, just mash them well.
2. In a small mortar and pestle combine the saffron threads with a pinch of sugar and grind. The abrasive quality of the sugar will help to break up the saffron. Set this to the side and get jamming.
3. Over medium high heat, bring the apricots and sugar to a boil. The jam will cook very quickly, so stir constantly with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching the bottom. If any foam appears on the surface of your jam just skim it off, I didn't have to do this.
4. After about 10 minutes, check the jam for doneness. It should be thick and will spatter like hot lava, so watch your hands!
5. When done, take the pan off of the heat and stir in the saffron sugar mixture, rose water and lemon juice. Pour into sterilized jars and process in a hot water bath for 10 min.
Hot tip from Food in Jars: just pull the apricots in half with your fingers to remove the pits. Easy!!
Be careful with the rose water, it is VERY strong. No one wants jam that tastes like perfume.
I entered this jam in the Can You Can It? contest over at Garden of Eating, you guys should enter something too!

i love the monochromatic scheme that results from saffron + apricots - beautiful deep golden colors that are the perfect summery hues!ReplyDelete
ps love the silhouette of the weck jars!
It sounds great!!!ReplyDelete
Isn't that cookbook fantastic!? I managed to gloss over this recipe in it ... I'll have to go back and check it out. I've been dying to do something with apricots and I LOVE rose water.ReplyDelete
The author Anne Lamott had a great comment about apricot jam: she said it's the kind of jam that would show up in a pb&j school lunch when your dad was making it. (Which was so true for me.)
While my dad didn't hide saffron growing up, he did hide BBQ chips. We'd eventually find them stashed all over the kitchen. Great post!
I love jams and making jams and I absolutely adore the idea of adding rose water and saffron to apricots! It looks delicious!!!!ReplyDelete
I think that cookbook is right for me!! I should have one copy!
Stunning, these are my kind of flavours!ReplyDelete
*kisses* HH
Oh yum! This looks divine! I want to get into canning—just haven't tried yet...nor have I been taught. This could be interesting :)ReplyDelete
This is my third mouthwatering recipe I saw since morning that asks for saffron and now I know I will have to make a trip to the Indian market to grab a bottle of saffron! I have a refrigerator full of peaches maybe I will replace apricots with them and will try this jam recipe.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing!
Apricot jam is one of my favourites, though I've never made. You've inspired me to do something with the crab apples I've got in the backyard - I'm thinking a little rose water may be the perfect addition. Love the photos!ReplyDelete
Natalie - I know! The color turned out so great!ReplyDelete
Plum - Love it! A BBQ chip stash sounds pretty tasty
Rita - Definitely check out that cookbook, it is so inspiring
Melissa - Once you get the hang of it, it's easy and so satisfying. Check out Food in Jars for some inspiration if you need it!
Prerna - I think peaches would be great, but their skins might not break down as well as the apricot skin, let me know how it turns out
Renee - My mom makes incredible crab apple jelly, I wish I could get my hands on some right now!
Your apricot jam looks lovely! I wish I had a Dad with an endless supply of saffron (one of my favorite spices- I have expensive taste). :)ReplyDelete
Wow this looks so delicious. I want some! Heehee but I think I am goin to have to buy this book.ReplyDelete
I really love this story bout your pops. Of all things saffron.ReplyDelete
La domestique - Thanks, I'm pretty lucky :)ReplyDelete
Bel - I can't say enough good things about this book, it is so, so inspiring!
What a gorgeous concoction! And amazing photos, too. Thanks for kicking Can You Can It? off with a bang!ReplyDelete
Eve - It is truly delicious! One of my new favorites!ReplyDelete
I hope I can find good apricots so I can try this this summer. Ours are usually from so far away that it's probably not worth it. Lovely!ReplyDelete
Hi, just found you via FB thanks to Azita... your blog is simply delicious... and this jam... with saffron! Stunning.ReplyDelete
Just found this recipe via Food52, and what a lovely combination! I cannot wait to give it a try.ReplyDelete

교통 Bangkok
Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport is serviced by airlines from around the world. Consequently it's possible to fly directly to Bangkok from nearly any major city on Earth. Even those who arrive in Bangkok via bus or train will have no problem getting around once in the city. Despite Bangkok's sprawling size and its reputation for horrendous traffic, Bangkok now features several electric rail systems that, along with tens of thousands of taxis and fleets of public and private busses, make it easier than ever to explore Bangkok's sights and get from hotels to cultural attractions, shopping districts, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
At present, the only standard train service to Bangkok is via the Malaysian border town of Butterworth. Travelers from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur can travel by train to Bangkok, but not without stopping to change trains. The journey from Singapore can last up to 48 hours as two changes of trains are required and there are numerous stops along the way to Bangkok.
First class sleeper cars can make a train trip to Bangkok more enjoyable, though comfort and convenience come at a price; one can travel the Eastern & Oriental Express, a throw-back colonial-style luxury train that services Butterworth and Bangkok on a once weekly schedule.
Visitors can travel by bus to Bangkok from Thailand's neighboring countries with varying levels of ease.
From Malaysia, one can cross by bus into Thailand through various border checkpoints in Songkhla, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces, although most busses will head to the hub of bus travel into, out of, and around southern Thailand, Hat Yai. From Hat Yai there are direct busses to Bangkok.
Most busses from Laos originate in Vientiane and cross the Mekong River to the Thai border town of Nong Khai, where it is possible to arrange for a bus transfer to Bangkok.
The primary route on a Cambodian bus to Thailand is across the border at the respective towns of Poipet and Aranyaprathet. From Aranyaprathet one can easily arrange bus or minibus transport to Bangkok.
Bangkok serves as a major international hub for air travel, with the new Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) hosting over 40 million visitors and transit passengers each year. Dozens of domestic and international air carriers bring passengers to Bangkok from most major cities in Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia.
In addition to outstanding dining and shopping, the Suvarnabhumi Airport features a transportation center that provides visitors with easy transfer from the airport to destinations throughout the kingdom as well as rail, bus, taxi, and limousine service to all districts in the Bangkok metropolitan area. The city center is only 30 kilometers west of the airport and features a new electric rail line that provides easy access to the city center.
The former primary airport, Don Muang, located 20 kilometers north of the city center, no longer services international flights, functioning as a minor domestic airport and airstrip for charter flights to and from Bangkok.
By Bus:
Public buses are plentiful and cheap, with a minimum fare of 7 baht between most destinations within metropolitan Bangkok. Air-conditioned buses have minimum and maximum fares of 10 and 22 baht, respectively. Air-conditioned micro-buses charge a flat fare of 25 baht for all routes. A bus route map is available at bookshops and the TAT office. Visit www.bmta.co.th for more information on Bangkok's public buses.
By Taxi:
All 30,000+ taxis cruising Bangkok city streets are metered and are required by law to use them. If a taxi offers you a fixed-price fare politely ask to use the meter. If not, then flag down another taxi. In general, parked taxis will ask for fixed fares while those already driving will generally use the meter. Taxis using the meter charge a minimum of 35 baht for the first 3 kilometers, and approximately 5 baht per kilometer thereafter. Make sure you have change as taxi drivers often don't! Passengers must pay tolls in the case of using an expressway, though drivers will occasionally pay these tolls and then expect reimbursement on arrival.
By Tuk Tuk:
These three-wheeled, open-air, motorized taxis are popular for short journeys. Fares must be bargained in advance and are typically higher than for taxis and higher for foreigners than for Thais. The minimum fare for a journey of up to 3 kilometers is generally 30-40 baht. Be aware that some tuk tuks around popular tourist venues like the Grand Palace are involved in scams, so beware of tuk tuk drivers telling you that certain tourist sights are closed or that there is a special sale occurring "today only". Remember the old adage, "there is no such thing as a free ride", and you should be fine.
By Motorbike Taxi:
Here and there throughout the city are congregations of motorbike drivers wearing brightly colored vests. For anywhere between 10 and 30 baht these speedy taxis will weave in and out of traffic, occasionally on the wrong side of the road, to get you where you need to be. It's certainly the fastest way to get around the city, but also the most dangerous. Technically, you are required by law to wear a helmet, but many motorbike taxis do not have them available for you and police rarely enforce the law on visiting passengers.
By BTS Sky Train:
The above-ground, electric BTS sky train has two lines that travel above Sukhumvit, Silom, Sathorn, and Phahonyothin roads. The routes connect Bangkok's leading hotels and major shopping areas such as Siam Square, Silom Road, Ratchaprasong, and Chatuchak Weekend Market. The fare ranges from 15-60 baht according to the distance. The trains run from 6 a.m. to midnight, daily.
The BTS Sky Train has transfer points with the MRT Subway at Asoke/Sukhumvit, Sala Daeng/Silom, and Mo Chit/Chatuchak Park. The BTS Sky Train also has a transfer points with the Chao Phraya River Boats at Saphan Thaksin/Sathorn and Bangkok's Eastern and Northern Bus Terminals at Ekkamai and Mo Chit respectively. For more information, contact the Bangkok Mass Transit System at tel: 0 2617 7300 or visit www.bts.co.th <
By MRT Subway (Metro):
The city's subway system, or MRT, connects many of the top tourist attractions with various accommodation areas, markets, and business districts. Fares range from 14 to 36 baht. The trains run from 6 a.m. to midnight, daily. The MRT Subway has transfer points with the BTS Sky Train at Sukhumvit/Asoke, Silom/Sala Daeng, and Chatuchak Park/Mo Chit. It also services the Bangkok Train Station, Hua Lumphong. For more information, visit www.bangkokmetro.co.th
By Boat:
Free from the traffic jams that clog Bangkok's roads on a daily basis, river taxis service the Chao Phraya River and numerous klongs (canals) around the city. Some are just river crossing ferries, but others service the many landing stages on both banks of the Chao Phraya and cover routes that go up as far as the northern suburb of Nonthaburi. Klong boats run the back "alleys" of Bangkok, including Klong Sen Sab, which runs from the old city of Rattakosin near the temple mount to Sukhumvit Road where it runs parallel to Sukhumvit for many kilometers.
By Car Rental:
It's not generally recommended to rent a car and drive around Bangkok as the traffic is dense and the expansive city is difficult to navigate. Throw in a few thousand motorbike taxis that frequently drive on the wrong side of the road (often into oncoming traffic) and you may wish to settle for a taxi or at least a car with a driver. If you wish to rent a car however, there are local and international rental car agencies with offices at both the airport and within the city center.
Be aware that only Commercial First Class Insurance provides full coverage on rental cars (as opposed to limited personal or third party only insurance). Most international car rental agencies will offer this insurance (some only for those with a valid international driver's license) while local companies may or may not. You may wish to request a copy of their insurance policy and ensure that it states "For Commercial Use". Regardless, inspect rental vehicles prior to rental and drive with caution, particularly as traffic in Bangkok can be quite confusing.

Towards more disaster resilient societies
The EUR-OPA contribution
The EUR-OPA Agreement has long contributed to and continues to support the global efforts on Disaster Risk Reduction, in particular the four priority areas of the United Nations' Post-2015 Framework to be adopted at the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, 14-18 March 2015, Sendai, Japan: risk assessment, risk governance, resilience to and preparedness for disasters.
EUR-OPA Action Plan 2011-2015
The EUR-OPA Action Plan 2011-2015 was adopted at the 12th Ministerial Session of the Agreement, held in Saint Petersburg (Russian Federation) on 28 September 2010. Its objective is to provide a political and technical instrument containing priorities and guidelines for the action of the EUR-OPA Agreement for a period of five years improving its effectiveness in a context of moderate financial resources and increased vulnerability of European and Mediterranean societies.

Research Summary
The Genome Integrity and Structural Biology Laboratory investigates fundamental mechanisms of genetic stability and instability and provides insights into biological processes that modulate the effects of environmental exposures on human health. A major NIEHS focus is on long-delayed, environmentally-determined diseases initiated or enhanced by mutations. These conditions include both heritable birth defects and cancer, which together afflict millions of people each year in this country alone. One of the best points of attack is the mutation process itself, including gene mutations, larger chromosomal mutations, and genome mutations, such as losses or gains of entire chromosomes.
The Genome Integrity and Structural Biology Laboratory investigates the following topics:
- Fundamental mechanisms of mutation, including the induction of DNA damage, the repair of such damage, ways to avoid mutations while replicating past unrepaired damage, and ways that damage does cause mutations
- The generation of mutations by polymerase errors during DNA replication, even in the absence of damage
- Fundamental mechanisms of DNA and chromosome replication, especially in the context of mutagenesis
- Genomics, especially as it relates to mutagenesis and the impact of mutations on individuals and populations
- The relation between genetic variation in humans and their risks of disease following exposure to toxic agents
- The relationship between the atomic level structures of macromolecules and their biochemical properties
- The abilities of macromolecules to interact with substrates and other molecules, including those of environmental concern
- The functions of macromolecules in vivo

This recipe is from
Now Eat This!
YIELD: Serves 4
- 4 large Vidalia onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick-slices
- 2 cups skim milk
- 2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 2 cups whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs, such as Ian's All-Natural
- 4 large egg whites
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 3/4 cup Rocco's Magnificent Mayonnaise or store- bought reduced- fat mayonnaise such as Hellmann's Low- Fat Mayonnaise Dressing
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke, such as Stubb's
- Tabasco sauce
Separate the onions into individual rings. Use only the larger rings for this recipe; reserve the smaller rings for another use. You should have 20 rings total. Lay the rings in a single layer in a large rectangular baking dish. Pour the milk over the rings and allow them to soak for about 20 minutes, turning them once so that all surfaces of the onion rings have been exposed to the milk.
Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Place a wire baking rack on each of two foil-lined baking sheets, and set them aside.
Put the flour in a shallow dish. Put the panko in a small dish. In a large bowl, whip the egg whites with a whisk until they are extremely foamy but not quite holding peaks.
Working in batches, remove the onion rings from the milk and dredge them in the flour, shaking off any excess. Add the rings to the egg whites and toss to coat completely. Add the rings, a few pieces at a time, to the panko and coat completely.
Spread the onion rings out on the wire racks. Season the rings generously with salt and pepper, and spray them lightly with cooking spray. Bake until the panko is golden brown and crispy and the onions are tender, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and the liquid smoke. Season to taste with Tabasco.
Serve the onion rings with the mayonnaise for dipping.

Feds: City ring ran $275M car insurance scam
A Russian-American ring based in New York ran an audacious scheme to bilk car-insurance companies out of $275 million through bogus medical clinics that billed for phantom treatments, the feds said Wednesday. Three dozen people — including 10 doctors and three lawyers — were indicted in the scam allegedly run by fraudsters with nicknames such as "Russian Mike," "Fat Mike" and "Skinny Mike." The ringleaders opened a series of clinics in the city that were really fraud mills designed to exploit the state's no-fault auto insurance law, prosecutors charged. Read More: Daily News

|No.3 Limestone Spoils LMC Senior Day
|Written by Whitney Noble
|Thursday, 11 April 2013 12:32
Seniors Olivia Gudewich (Frederick, Md.) and Alex Smith (West Seneca, N.Y.) celebrated their final game with the Lees-McRae College women's lacrosse team in style on Wednesday evening, as Gudewich moved into second on the program's all-time goals list, and Smith scored her first career goal in the Bobcats' 22-3 setback to
Limestone College in Conference Carolinas play on Tate Field.
Prior to the opening draw, Lees-McRae (3-8, 0-6 CC) honored its 2013 senior class, holding a special ceremony to recognize the contributions of Gudewich, Smith, Jessica MacConnell (Cary, N.C.), Nicole Nixon (Charlotte, N.C.), and Jessica Travers (Asheville, N.C.) to the Bobcat women's lacrosse program.
Gudewich and Katelin Rooney (Naples, Fla.) each found the back of the net for the Bobcats, as Smith capped her career in style, scoring her first career goal in the second half. Rooney and Travers both added an assist, as Mia Emmerson (Orlando, Fla.) and Nixon posted five and four ground balls, respectively. Ximena Dupont (Fort Myers, Fla.) forced three turnovers, while Emmerson made nine saves.
Sarah Oor paced the Saints with five goals and six assists, while Sylvia Queener added three strikes and five helpers. Kacie Harris, Katie Farrell, and Sam McCarrick each posted a hat trick, as McCarrick chipped in two assists. Oor tallied a game-high eight ground balls, while Chelsea Treat recorded six grounders and six draw controls. Maia Czarnecki notched four ground balls and forced a game-high four turnovers.
Limestone jumped out to an early 2-0 lead before the Bobcats responded, halving the margin to 2-1 when Gudewich controlled the draw broke down the wing for her 75th career goal at the 27:08 mark.
The Saints answered with six goals, pushing the lead to 8-1 on Queener's third of the night before Rooney found the back of the net off a nifty pass from Travers to trim the advantage to 8-2 with 17:32 left in the half. Smith would provide one of the highlights of the day at the 9:23 mark of the second half, working her way to the front of the cage and delivering a one-touch finish off a pass from Rooney for her first career goal.
Lees-McRae is expected to return eight letter-winners from this year's squad, including rising seniors Rooney, Kathryn Tobias (Abington, Md.), and Nicole Dupont (Fort Myers, Fla.).
Crusaders Crush Bobcat,. 17-7
Dalton Lamb (Clemmons, N.C.) posted his second hat trick of the season to lead the Lees-McRae College men's lacrosse team on Wednesday afternoon, as Belmont Abbey College held off a strong second-half rally by the Bobcats en route to a 17-7 victory in Conference Carolinas play on Tate Field.
Belmont Abbey (8-4, 2-3 CC) outshot Lees-McRae (0-14, 0-5 CC) by a 56-23 margin, including a 20-15 edge in the second half, while the Crusaders converted 21-of-23 clearing attempts and scooped up 39 ground balls. The Bobcats converted 18 clears on the day, while also posting 30 grounders.
Lamb paced the Bobcats with three goals, as Jeff White (Middle Township, N.J.) tallied two goals and Schuylor Dickerson (Crozet, Va.) posted his first two assists of his collegiate career. White added game-highs of eight ground balls and four caused turnovers, while Jon Batsel (Raleigh, N.C.) and Jarrod Brady (Kernersville, N.C.) each chipped in a goal.
Ryan Harrison (Lake Mary, Fla.) made a career-high 24 saves between the pipes, as White and Dustin Barrow (Columbia, S.C.) both won five face-offs. Harrison also scooped up seven grounders for the Bobcats.
Daniel Marshall led the way for Belmont Abbey with five goals, as Connor Sellars, Joey McGinley, and Vin Loscalzo each added two strikes. Dan Morrissey, Tanner Scharr, and Ryan Corrigan posted three assists apiece, while Kevin Costa and Sean Kenny both won eight face-offs. Kenny tallied seven grounders in the contest, as Brett Lawless and Andrew Shortt recorded nine and two saves, respectively.
The Abbey tallied a quick goal before the Bobcats responded, evening the score at 1-1 on White's first of the afternoon at the 10:52 mark. Belmont Abbey answered with five goals over the next 10 and a half minutes, taking a 6-1 lead into the second quarter following Sellars' strike with 3:06 left in the first.
The Crusaders carried the momentum into the second period, tallying five goals in the quarter to push the advantage to 11-1 heading into the intermission on Sellars' second goal of the day at the 5:32 mark.
Lamb would kick start the rally with 8:53 left in the third, scoring a man-up goal off a pass by Dickerson to trim the margin to 13-2. Brady launched the Bobcats on a 5-1 run with his fourth goal of the season, closing out the third quarter at the 4:09 mark. Lamb tallied two strikes during the spurt, cutting the lead to 15-6 before White capped the run just eight seconds after Lamb's tally.
Belmont Abbey would quell the rally with two tallies down the stretch, as Marshall netted his fifth of the day with 5:29 left on the clock.
Lees-McRae returns to action on Saturday when the Bobcats travel to Hartsville, S.C. to close out the regular season with a 2 p.m. league matchup against Coker College.

On civil rights
After reading a letter in Sept. 7's edition of The News-Enterprise, I feel compelled to write this letter. The Sept. 7 letter promulgates the preposterous notion that the Democratic Party was and is against the civil rights movement. This letter is an insult to my intelligence, my memory, my moral convictions and my life's experience.

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Growing up in the South, Ashland often witnessed the brazen hostility directed towards the queer community. In 2006, she was asked to voluntarily resign from her job when her supervisor discovered she was gay. When she refused, she was terminated and denied her right to appeal. Ashland's experience fighting her employer's decision and working with local equal rights organizations to test her city's commitment to queer rights fueled her desire to go to law school and become an equal rights advocate.
Ashland graduated from Georgia Law School where she was an active equality advocate and community leader. She was the president of her school's OUTLaw and American Constitution Society chapters, and an active volunteer with Georgia Equality. Because of her commitment to equal rights, during her 1L summer Ashland was awarded the QLaw grant and interned with Lambda Legal where she assisted with ongoing and potential equal rights cases. During her 2L summer, Ashland was also selected as a Holley Law Fellow with the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force to help promote pro-LGBTQ legislation. And during her 3L year, she worked with the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia.
Ashland has been awarded the Equal Justice Foundation Summer Fellowship, the Equal Justice Works Summer Corps grant, and the Bill and Ann Shepherd Equal Rights Scholarship. She is also a member of the national Board of Directors of the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy. After law school, Ashland will continue her social justice work as a Law Fellow with the National Women's Law Center.Ashland joined Point's Board of Directors in 2013.

POTSDAM It is a gift that keeps on giving even to the givers.
Kathryn K. Lougheed, a 1954 SUNY Potsdam graduate, and her husband, Donald L., were so impressed with the effects of their planned gift to the university, they decided to make it outright.
We didnt see any reason why we shouldnt it seems like a good idea, she said. It is a wonderful thing to be able to enjoy this in your lifetime. We found that out last year.
The Lougheeds donation was used to establish the Lougheed Festival of the Arts, a nine-day celebration of music, writing, theater, dance and visual arts.
This is an endowment, and we intend this to go on for all of our lifetimes; every year well have a festival for the arts in Potsdam, Mr. Lougheed said.
The gift, for an undisclosed amount reported to be the largest in SUNY Potsdams history, was not officially received by the university last year, but Mr. and Mrs. Lougheed agreed to finance it while they were still alive, meaning the college can use any income generated by their bequest through interest.
It was a remarkable gift, said Jason N. Ladouceur, director of planned giving.
This doesnt happen very often, he said. A gift like this has the ability to transform the institution and provide a lasting benefit to the community.
After attending the first annual Lougheed Festival of the Arts last spring, the Lougheeds were overwhelmed about the impact their donation made.
We were in tears all the time we were there. The students were so appreciative, Mrs. Lougheed said. They went on in detail about the differences we had made. It wasnt us, it was all the work done by the students themselves. They were very grateful, we were pretty amazed really that there was that reaction.
For Mr. and Mrs. Lougheed, who live in Austin, Texas, an investment in arts education is wise.
I was never interested in history until I became an art docent at the museum here in Austin and I started to learn more about history and art history, Mrs. Lougheed said. It is an avenue to other things. To me, the art is the frosting on the cake. Without art, I think my life would be very humdrum.
New York would have better teachers and schools by promoting arts in education, Mr. Lougheed said.
It exposes future teachers and other professions to the arts and helps them develop new ways of thinking and new ways of acting and new ways of transmitting to their students, he said.
Last year the arts festival brought NPR host Grant Barrett, sculptor Joe Bova, playwright and actor James Fluhr and a melange of work across disciplines by students, faculty and staff.
This spring, the Lougheeds will again make the trek from Texas in an RV to their summer home in Northville, taking the time to attend the festival that bears their name.
The 2013 festival kicks off April 26 and will culminate with the annual Crane Chorus and Crane Symphony Orchestra spring performance May 4.

Welcome to the Residential College at Broome Street!
We're excited that you'll be with us for the upperclassman Residential College at NYU. The Broome Street Residential Life and Housing Services Staff, including Residence Hall Director Taris Mullins, Residence Hall Assistant Director Susan Huynh, Faculty Fellows in Residence Michael Ralph and Michelle Dent, our Faculty Affiliates, and all the RAs look forward to building a new kind of learning/living community in the coming years. Please take a moment to look over this brief overview of the Residential Colleges's opening activities and larger principles and aims. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to send them via email over the coming weeks (firstname.lastname@example.com)
The Residential College at Broome Street has two principal aims: 1) To bring residents into closer intellectual and social contact with one another and with faculty and 2) To bring residents into a more intimate relationship with the surrounding city – including neighborhood communities, cultural institutions, and historic traditions.
To these ends, the Residential College will sponsor several types of programs: you'll be invited to participate in and/or help develop them. In addition to leading occasional outings for cultural events in the city at large, the Faculty Fellows in Residence will have a regular round of programs in the building to help facilitate relationships among residents.
If you have ideas for any of these regular events – or would like to volunteer to lead a discussion or create an event on your own – please contact your RA! We're interested in generating a diverse set of in-building programs based on your interests.
Engagement Streams
In addition to these general programs, each resident will be assigned to a specific programming "stream" according to their expressed interests (see the drop down menu to the right for Broome Stream descriptions).
Your stream will serve as a home base for your participation in the community, introducing you to residents and Faculty Affiliates throughout the Residential College who share your core interests. You're encouraged, though, to participate in as many activities as appeal to you, regardless of the stream from which it originates. If you have particular ideas for programming in your stream, contact the Faculty Fellows over the summer!
You're also invited to participate in BEAST Hall Council. This student-run board offers excellent programming resources and hosts large scale events for the Residential College community.
The Residential College also sponsors a blog, with regular contributions from residents and RAs. If you're interested in writing for the blog (food and concert reviews, accounts of activities, opinion pieces), contact RHD Taris Mullins. Our building blog is hosted at http://broomestreetblog.blogspot.com, where you can always find out the latest happenings at Broome Residential College.
Again, we're looking forward to meeting you in the fall and glad you'll be a member of our Residential College!
- The Broome Street Res College Faculty and Staff

DERBY - There was standing room only at the Derby Select Board meeting Monday night, with people overflowing into the hallway. The hot topic of the night was the new adult novelty store on US 5 in Derby.
Rick Dubois, a trustee for the Village of Derby Center, said those present want a bylaw amendment that would not allow a novelty shop, adult book store, adult video, adult entertainment, etc., and would restrict such enterprises to Derby's industrial zone.
Objectors also don't want adult stores within 1000 feet of schools, libraries, churches, parks, day care centers, shopping plazas, restaurants or bus stops. They don't want pornographic material displayed so it can be seen by anyone not inside the establishment. And they want precautions to stop minor children from entering the premises.
The group, informally represented by Dubois and Emily Wheeler, presented a stack of petitions to that effect.
No one spoke on behalf of the store.
The select board said they would have to consult with their attorney about what to do with the issue.
Chairman Brian Smith said he contacted related stores and said they reported that there were some protests at first but they'd had no problems since they've been open.
Public input was limited to three minutes per person and about a dozen people spoke out against the shop.
Dr. Richard O'Hara, an outspoken opponent of the store, sent a letter that was read but he wasn't present.
Residents said they were upset with the board because, "You're public servants. You should let us know when this is going on. You need to serve us."
"We wouldn't allow people to dump their garbage on our streets," said Rev. John Genco. "We will not allow garbage in our streets to pollute the community."

By By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Overall Carbon School District's initial elementary school enrollment in the first week of classes is up from last year, according to Joan Atwood, the elementary school supervisor.
As of Friday, Bruin Point student numbers had gone up from 123 in the spring to 131 last week. Creekview showed a gain of 21 students from 523 from 502 last spring. Sally Mauro Elementary in Helper went from 441 to 464 over the summer.
The biggest increase in student numbers came at Castle Heights Elementary in northeast Price where the school gained 40 students over last spring registering 552 at Friday's count.
The only elementary to have fewer students coming through the door than last spring was Wellington Elementary, where in the spring they school had 352 students. On Friday the count was 337.
"It is exciting news," stated Atwood in an email to the Sun Advocate. "Enrollment is up from 1,930 in the spring to 2,007 this fall."
The numbers for the secondary schools came to the paper on Monday from secondary supervisor Judy Mainord. As of Friday Helper Junior High had 189 students, Mont Harmon Junior High showed an enrollment of 547, the Lighthouse High School had numbers that sat at 77 and Carbon High School reported 611 students in class on their campus.
"These (secondary) numbers usually settle down after Labor Day and we get a few more kids," commented Mainord.
The school year started off well, with some minor problems, as is usually the case. One that arose was that a teacher at one of the secondary schools announced he would not be back to work the week before school started, so administrators had to scramble to get the position filled.
The district's transportation system also worked well in the first week. They are now on the computerized system of routing which has helped the drivers in the picking up and dropping off of students. As usual there were some first day jitters, especially from parents who were sending their kids off to kindergarten for the first time.
The first day of school Wednesday was a half day affair with Thursday being a full day and Friday coming in as a planning day with school getting out early. By Thursday the experience of staff and teachers as schools showed as things returned to the normal routine that was evident at the end of last school year.
For the first time in a number of years, there were no changes in principal positions in the school district. The district administration also remained the same as last year as well.
Carbon School District consists of ten school buildings and four auxiliary facilities, including the five elementary schools (three are K-6, two are PK-6), two junior high schools (7-9), two high schools (10-12). Non-school facilities include administrative offices, maintenance building, transportation facility, and warehouse facility.
With secondary school counts included, the district reported that 3,423 students were attending school at their facilities last year.

Blue Liquid Dye
Usage: 1oz colors 100 lbs soy or 200 lbs paraffin to a medium shade. 4oz colors 400 lbs soy or 800 lbs paraffin to a medium shade.
Fragrance Oil Recommendations: Bird of Paradise, Blueberry Cheesecake, Blueberry Cobbler, Ocean Breeze
Deep, rich colors are difficult in soy. They require 2-3 times the dye that paraffin requires, sometimes more. Note that standard dye amounts create a washed-out, pastel color in soy. We suggest making a test swatch to figure out the dye amount you will need to get the color you'd like.
Due to the extreme concentration of our liquid dyes there is a noticeable odor that will not be detectable at normal usages in finished candles.
Product Update: We are converting our glass liquid dye containers to plastic containers for easier shipping.Made in the USA
