NOXIOUS MATERIAL - POTSDAM - Village police picked up Joshua Henderson, 24, of 76 Roosevelt Road, Apt. E, Hogansburg, formerly of Massena and Rochester, on an arrest warrant at 10:35 a.m. Friday and charged him with unlawful possession of noxious matter.
He was arraigned in local court and sent back to the St. Lawrence County Correction Facility with bail set at $500 cash. The charge stemmed from an incident at 12:48 a.m. April 21 at McDuffs when he was allegedly involved in a verbal altercation with Codi Burke of Haskell Street, Massena. Henderson reportedly pepper sprayed Burke and left the area.
Henderson had been picked up on the warrant Wednesday by Massena Village Police. They had also charged him with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon at that time when police discovered a dagger sticking out from under the seat of his vehicle. He was arraigned on the weapons count Wednesday by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and sent to the county jail with bail set at $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond.
He had been sentenced to time served and fined June 18 when he was sentenced for an attempted criminal conviction in a case that also satsisfied a second pepper spray incident that had occurred in the village of Massena.
Massena Village Police had charged Henderson with possession of a noxious material and fourth-degree criminal mischief following an investigation into a May 24 dispute between Henderson and his former girlfriend, Alanna Cruz. They said Henderson allegedly raised a closed fist before he was pushed away by Ms. Cruz. He then allegedly pepper sprayed her. When Ms. Cruz attempted to file a complaint with police, Henderson reportedly broke her phone.

Despite 26 from Nelson, Bluejays' WBB Downed by Villanova 68-54
VILLANOVA, Pa. - Despite 26 points from senior Sarah Nelson, the Creighton women's basketball team suffered a 68-54 loss at Villanova on Saturday, Feb. 1.
The loss dropped Creighton to 13-9 on the season and 7-3 in BIG EAST play, while Villanova is 16-5 overall and 6-4 in conference action.
The Bluejays opened the game with a flurry as Creighton built an 11-5 lead by the 14:28 mark. Senior McKenzie Fujan opened the Bluejays scoring with a running six footer from the left side. After a three-pointer by Villanova made it 5-2, sophomore Marissa Janning and Nelson gave Creighton its first lead at 6-5. Nelson followed with a step-back trey, then Fujan capped the run with an eight-foot jumper from the left elbow.
Villanova responded with a 12-4 run of its own to take an 18-15 lead with 10:41 remaining in the half. Janning knotted the game at 18-18 with her only trey of the game, but the Wildcats scored 16 of the next 19 points to build a 34-21 lead (3:33) and took a 38-27 lead in at the break.
Fujan knocked down two free throws to open the second half, but the Bluejays missed their first seven shots to allow Villanova to push its lead to 52-31 with 11:44 remaining.
Down the stretch the Wildcats took the air out of the ball by bleeding the shot clock to single digits on each possession.
Nelson finished with a season-high 26 points and also posted her second straight double-double with 11 rebounds, while Fujan finished with 14 points. Fujan and Nelson combined to shoot 13-of-23 (57%) from the field, but the rest of the Bluejays were a combined 3-of-26 (12%).
Villanova had four players finish in double figures, led by 19 points from Caroline Coyer.
The Bluejays return to action on Tuesday, Feb. 5 as Creighton hosts Georgetown at 7:05 pm.

Bills Tax Service of Centralia LLC is a locally owned and operated professional tax accounting business owned by Alan and Jaime Newcomb. We have specialized in professional tax preparation, planning and representation, accounting services, and payroll services since 1977. Alan and Jaime have been foster parents for years and have since adopted two children. This is more than just about business for us! In 2011, we began to see a desperate need for adoptive parents to be informed of the Child Adoption Tax Credit. Bills Tax Service is also a member of the Christian Alliance for Orphans. We can help you wade through the tax documents needed to claim the Tax Credit.
We have helped many adoptive parents claim the Adoption Tax Credit. The Adoption Tax Credit was introduced to help make adoption more affordable. Many were unaware of this credit. That is how our mission began. It was mostly word of mouth by our clients. We began doing free seminars for adoptive parents to help spread the word. This project has since developed into a nationwide effort. We have linked up with Adoption agencies, organizations, and other professionals to help adoptive parents.
If you have adopted between 2007-2012 your tax return can be amended to claim the credit and carry it forward to 2010 or 2011. With the credit being made refundable in 2010 and 2011 it has been a wonderful blessing for many families. With the high audit rate associated with the Adoption Tax Credit we have learned some things that will help meet the IRS's documentation requirements.
For 2013 and beyond we know the Adoption Tax Credit has been made permanent. The dollar amount for 2013 is $12,970, and will be indexed for inflation in future years. Even if you have zero tax liability you still need to claim the credit if you qualify. First, everyone's tax situation could change from year to year. The credit can be carried forward five years. Second, in case the credit does become refundable again you would receive the remaining amount of the credit that you have not used up.
For 2014 the adoption tax credit amount is $13,190. Income phase out range is $197,880 - $237,880.

Talk about a controversial bureaucrat. Kissinger's carefully plotted maneuverings of the United States' dealings with other countries during his time in the 20th century as head of the State Department has inspired reverence, censure, admiration, disapproval… There is little agreement on whether his influence has helped the U.S. or hurt our international standing.
But no matter what you may think about Henry Kissinger, who served as National Security Adviser for Richard Nixon and as Secretary of State for the Nixon and Ford Administrations, his latest book, On China, is a valuable read for anyone wishing to better understand how China has emerged as a hugely influential political power.
The first half of Kissinger's book offers a brief, clearly explained summary of China's history as a titanic, dominant force in Asia. It makes clear that the Chinese have long seen themselves as the center of world culture and have traditionally proved uninterested in colonizing, conquering or even visiting other countries. For most of their history, the Chinese have considered their own society as the pinnacle of human accomplishment. In that context, they saw no point in interactions with other, "barbarian" countries or letting foreigners have free access to Chinese knowledge or civilization.
In the early 1400s, before Columbus had even played with toy boats in a bathtub, Chinese Admiral Zhen He had sailed to Java, India, the Horn of Africa and the Strait of Hormuz. As Kissinger notes, "China's fleet possessed what would have seemed an unbridgeable technological advantage…" over European ships. So what did the Chinese do with this advantage? They called off the voyages and, for some inscrutable reason, the Chinese Emperor ordered the fleet dismantled and tried to destroy all written records of the naval explorations.
Fast forward to the middle of the 20th century when Mao Zedong has taken over mainland China and practically destroyed the country with his warped philosophy and practice of constant revolution. Mao, a fierce communist, was, in theory, allied with the Soviet Union in a worldwide effort to defeat capitalist imperialist countries like the United States. However, a closer look at Chinese history shows that this analysis of China's situation was way too simplistic. For instance, Russia and China were anything but natural allies. Instead, their political systems and territorial desires made them rivals, each expressing conflicting claims for territory in places like Manchuria.
At the same time, Mao's periodic purges of the Chinese Communist Party, elimination of many of his military commanders and misguided economic plans had killed off 40 million to 50 million of his people by the late 1960s. It is against this backdrop that Kissinger discusses the historic meetings staged between Mao and President Richard Nixon in the early 1970s. Kissinger maintains that these events gave birth to a beneficial reordering of international relations between Asia and the United States.
Certainly, you can't question that these meetings changed the way China and the U.S. interact. Before Nixon met with Mao, the relationship between the two countries was distant and frosty.
Still, even though Kissinger considers himself a canny strategist, some have questioned the wisdom of letting Nixon go visit Mao. Certainly, Nixon himself seemed to get great domestic advantage from the visit. It distracted from our ongoing failure in Vietnam. It slowed the momentum of some of Nixon's political opponents. Kissinger got great advantage from them, too, maneuvering these meetings into decades of employment as the chief U.S. expert on Chinese affairs. Since leaving government service, he has enjoyed a lucrative career as a consultant for North American companies doing business with China.
But what did the U.S. get out of defrosting Sino-U.S. dealings? Experts generally agree that in 1972 the Soviets were probably about to go to war with China when Nixon's making nice with Mao persuaded them to back off. If we had let that war take place, the conflict would obviously have increased our advantage over both of these communist countries. It would have hampered China's ability to aid North Vietnam. The great drain on Soviet manpower and resources might have sped the downfall of the Soviet Union.
However, Kissinger never really addresses these issues. Instead, we are treated to an inside look at his secret meetings with Chinese leaders. And you have to wonder at the madness transpiring at the top of the Chinese ruling hierarchy. At times, the aging Mao sounds a bit like a deranged fortune cookie. During one meeting, he instructs his functionaries to tell the Americans that "although all under the heaven(s) is in great chaos, the situation is wonderful."
Most startling of all, Mao tells Kissinger "… people like me sound a lot of big cannons. That is, things like 'the whole world should unite and defeat imperialism, revisionism, and all reactionaries and establish socialism.'"
In the book, Kissinger reminds us that this phrase, calling for the world to defeat "imperialism, revisions and reactionaries," was the key slogan used by Mao and Chinese communists for decades, appearing on posters throughout the country. So when Mao laughs and informs Kissinger and Nixon that they shouldn't take this sloganeering seriously, he reveals an evil cynicism behind the murderous insanity that has destroyed millions of Chinese lives.
And while Kissinger acknowledges how he was startled at Mao's attitude behind closed doors, he never probes the full implications of what the crazed, tyrannical Mao has told him. You get the feeling that even today, at age 88, long after Mao has passed away, Kissinger is still treating this monstrous Chinese leader with deference even though he was a disgusting monster.

MEDINA, NY -- State officials are looking into the apparent poisoning attempt of a local prison guard last week at the Orleans Correctional Facility.
The corrections officer reportedly took a sip from a store-bought drink that he had been drinking throughout the day when he immediately noticed burning in his throat and became violently ill.
The officer was rushed to Medina Memorial Hospital and then later transferred to Buffalo General were he was treated for two days.
Testing on the drink found PH-levels three-to-five times higher than normal.
The dorm at the Orleans Correctional Facility where this happened was locked down and searched immediately after the incident.
The New York State Police and Inspector General's Office are both assisting in the investigation.

I see where the air force wants to start running its airplanes on coal," Uncle Spud said, very matter of fact. "That should help the mining industry."
"Running airplanes on coal? Are you out of your mind?" I snorted. "An airplane can't carry enough coal to fuel its engines and fly. And even if we could get coal to burn in a jet engine, where are you going to put the smokestacks on a B-2 bomber and still expect the thing to be stealthy?
"They're going to process the coal on the ground and put it in the airplanes as a liquid," he said. "It's called gasification. You know, making gas from coal."
"Oh," I said. "That makes more sense."
"It's right here in the Salt Lake Tribune," he said. "The air force is getting real nervous about our dependence on foreign oil and they want to start using domestic fuel as much as possible. Since we can't drill for oil in most this country, they've decided it's time to use gasified coal to run our military."
"That's a little radical, don't you think?"
"No," Spud said. "I think it's a great idea. Since the wilderness lovers won't let us drill for oil in places like ANWR or on the continental shelves, we don't have many options when it comes to being energy independent. Coal is about our only choice. We can make nuclear power plants, but there aren't any nuclear airplanes yet. And besides, we have three times as much coal as oil anyway. We might as well go for it."
"So how does the air force expect to do this?" I asked. "I don't know of any coal gasification plants operating in the country right now."
"To begin, they are offering 700 acres on the Malmstrom Air Base in Montana as a site for any company willing to build a coal gasification plant there. The air force will partner with the gasification company, but private industry will finance, build, run, and own the facility. The air force will own the land and provide security. They also promise to buy the fuel the plant produces. It's really a good deal for an up and coming company willing to start a whole new industry. The air force has initiated a bidding process and will accept bids until May of this year."
"Sounds good," I said. "But can we really make gas from coal?"
"Yes," he said. "The Germans were doing it during World War II and that was 65 years ago. Technology has come a long ways in 65 years."
"Why not stick with bio-fuels made from corn and soybeans?"
"Bio-fuel is not cost efficient to make, and we might need to eat the corn someday. Nobody eats coal. It's pure fossil energy."
"But won't gas made from coal be expensive?"
"Expensive is a relative term," the Spudster smiled. "How expensive do you think a gallon of gas will be if Saudi Arabia is ever taken over by radical Jihads who want us dead? It could happen, you know."
"But how much gas from coal could we produce in this country?"
"The air force hopes to have several gasification plants in operation in the next few years," Spud explained. "They want to have half of their fuel produced by coal gasification by 2016, an estimated 400 million gallons per year."
"Sounds like they are serious about this."
"It's about time someone got serious about it," Spud said. "Today we buy more than half of our fuel from other countries, most of them in the volatile middle-east, and those people can shut us off at any time. In today's world, it's national suicide to allow foreigners to control our energy supply like that. Our politicians ought to be tarred and feathered for allowing us to be in a mess like this."
"But what about the green people? Surely they will protest and rant and rave about all of that dirty coal being mined. New coal mines might mess up some cryptobiotic soil, and everybody knows that coal causes global warming."
"I guess it's time for people to decide what's most important to them," Spud said somberly. "Do we want an air force with enough fuel to protect us when things get bad, or do we want lots of unspoiled wilderness to flee to when the Jihads take over? You decide. We're fast running out of options."

Security cameras are being installed in the bedrooms of Britain's openly gay bishops to ensure that they adhere to the strict new celibacy rules imposed by the Church of England. The precaution is being taken after it was realised that simply trusting bishops not to have sex just because it was forbidden, has not had a particularly good track record down the centuries.
Cameras will also be installed in the shower, on the big rug by the fireplace and in the local public toilets just in case the couple are feeling like playing up to gay sexual stereotypes. The cameras will also be capable of close-ups and wide shots, to check that any females having sex with bishops are not actually gay men in drag.

DUBAI, U.A.E., 15th November 2011 – Emirates' A380 services to London Heathrow will become triple daily from 24th January 2012.
This will mean three out of the airline's five daily flights into Heathrow will be served by the superjumbo.
Emirates' flagship aircraft will replace Boeing 777s on Emirates flight EK029 from Dubai and on the return flight EK030, adding capacity to one of the airline's busiest routes.
"Given the popularity of Emirates' A380s, I know this news will be well received by our customers flying between London Heathrow, Dubai and beyond. As these magnificent aircraft continue to join our fleet, we can offer more seats and choice in and out of high density points, while enabling a greater number of passengers to benefit from the Emirates' A380 experience," said Salem Obaidalla, Emirates' Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations, Europe & Russian Federation.
The airline brought its own brand of double-decker, equipped with an Onboard Lounge and Shower Spas, to the British capital in December 2008. After supporting Emirates flights EK001 and EK002 between Dubai and Heathrow, EK003 and EK004 became A380 services in July of last year.
The giant aircraft, known for its quietness and spaciousness, offers 14 flat-bed First Class Private Suites with electrically operated doors and 76 fully-flat seats in Business Class -- all with aisle access -- on the upper deck. Downstairs, there are 427 comfortable contoured seats in Economy, spread across four separate cabins.
Passengers in all classes can settle down to more than 1,000 channels of films, television programmes, music and games carried on the ice entertainment system.
A personal satellite phone is fitted to each seat, which also carries a seat-back sms and email service, along with seat to seat calling and a "My USB" personal picture viewing facility.
The third A380 service into Heathrow is another major investment for Emirates in the UK, where it operates 105 weekly flights via six gateways; London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle and Glasgow.
In September of last year, Manchester, which is now a triple daily service, became Emirates' second UK gateway to be served by the superjumbo, replacing Emirates flights EK017 and EK018.
The international airline of the UAE has a fleet of 17 A380s amongst a total fleet of 162 aircraft, flying to 116 destinations – now including Baghdad.
At the Dubai Air Show on Sunday (13th November 2011), Emirates announced an order for an additional 50 Boeing 777-300 ER aircrafts, worth approximately USD 18 billion (AED 66 billion) in list prices.
The agreement also included 20 Boeing 777-300 ER options valued at USD 8 billion (AED 29.4 billion), lifting the total order to 70 aircrafts worth USD 26 billion (AED 95.4 billion).

Nomad: From Islam to America: A Personal Journey Through the Clash of Civilizationsby Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"This woman is a major hero of our time." —Richard Dawkins
Ayaan Hirsi Ali captured the world's attention with Infidel, her compelling coming-of-age memoir, which spent thirty-one weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Now, in Nomad, Hirsi Ali tells of coming to America to build a new life, an ocean away from the death threats made to her by European Islamists, the strife she witnessed, and the inner conflict she suffered. It is the story of her physical journey to freedom and, more crucially, her emotional journey to freedom—her transition from a tribal mind-set that restricts women's every thought and action to a life as a free and equal citizen in an open society. Through stories of the challenges she has faced, she shows the difficulty of reconciling the contradictions of Islam with Western values.
In these pages Hirsi Ali recounts the many turns her life took after she broke with her family, and how she struggled to throw off restrictive superstitions and misconceptions that initially hobbled her ability to assimilate into Western society. She writes movingly of her reconciliation, on his deathbed, with her devout father, who had disowned her when she renounced Islam after 9/11, as well as with her mother and cousins in Somalia and in Europe.
Nomad is a portrait of a family torn apart by the clash of civilizations. But it is also a touching, uplifting, and often funny account of one woman's discovery of today's America. While Hirsi Ali loves much of what she encounters, she fears we are repeating the European mistake of underestimating radical Islam. She calls on key institutions of the West—including universities, the feminist movement, and the Christian churches—to enact specific, innovative remedies that would help other Muslim immigrants to overcome the challenges she has experienced and to resist the fatal allure of fundamentalism and terrorism.
This is Hirsi Ali's intellectual coming-of-age, a memoir that conveys her philosophy as well as her experiences, and that also conveys an urgent message and mission—to inform the West of the extent of the threat from Islam, both from outside and from within our open societies. A celebration of free speech and democracy, Nomad is an important contribution to the history of ideas, but above all a rousing call to action.
About the Author
Ayaan Hirsi Ali was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, was raised Muslim, and spent her childhood and young adulthood in Africa and Saudi Arabia. In 1992, Hirsi Ali came to the Netherlands as a refugee. She earned her college degree in political science and worked for the Dutch Labor party. She denounced Islam after the September 11 terrorist attacks and now serves as a Dutch parliamentarian, fighting for the rights of Muslim women in Europe, the enlightenment of Islam, and security in the West.

The Borger Fire Department and Xcel Energy responded to a fire at an electrical substation on Spring Creek Road early Wednesday morning that was caused by a possible intrusion, resulting in electricity going out for several Borger residents.
Hutchinson County Fire Marshal Danny Richards said the call came in at 3:55 a.m. Wednesday.
The fire resulted in a power outage on the east side of Borger, and power was out for approximately two hours.
Students at Borger Middle School decided to give back this holiday season.
The BMS National Junior Honor Society and Student Council presented over 200 toys to the Golden Plains Community Hospital worth over $700 on Monday. The toys included things like headphones, CDs, handheld games for older kids, stuffed animals, cars, Barbies, dolls, legos, etc., for smaller children.
The Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA) and the United States Marine Corp proudly announce the THSCA Academic All-State football team for 2012-13. The team is selected by a point system that awards points for GPA, class rank, and SAT or ACT score. The student/athletes are then placed on a team according to the number of points they have earned.
Borger High School senior, Ben Sharp, has been recognized by the state for his performance on the field and in the classroom. Sharp was selected to the Elite THSCA Academic All-State football team, the state's highest honor.
The Sanford Fritch teams met up with White Deer for the second time this season. The first round was a wild one, and the second matchup did not disappoint either. Both games were very physical, and a total of five technicals were called between the two games.
The Lady Eagles won the first contest between these teams easily, and did so again on Tuesday night. Fritch ended the 1st quarter with a three pointer from Meek at the buzzer to go up 21-6, and ended the half up 29-13.
Five West Texas High seniors have been selected to the Academic All-State team for the 2012 volleyball season. Not only do they exhibit talent on the court, they also strive for excellence in the classroom.
The Texas Girls Coaches Association selects the girls from all conferences. They must be seniors, have a GPA of 94 or above for grades 9-11, and must be a team member in good standing to qualify. The athletes are nominated by their varsity coaches. Varsity coaches must be a member of TGCA by November 1st for their athletes to be eligible for the honor.
Doomsday may be just around the corner.
The "doomsayers" are worried because the 13th bak'tun (or 144,000-day cycle) of the Mayan Long Count calendar wraps up on Dec. 21, marking the end of a cycle of creation.
The Borger News-Herald asked its Facebook readers if they thought the world was going to end this week and if so what they would do on their last day on earth. Their response was as follows:
Mari Anne Hadley Swain said, "No, I believe the Lord is not short of His word. No one, not even Jesus, knows the time or day."
A school shooting in Connecticut has made parents more aware of what goes on in the schools their children attend everyday.
Hutchinson County superintendents are here to put parents at ease during these hard times and explain what steps they take to secure their school.
"We are all saddened by the recent tragic events, and our hearts and prayers go to the children, parents, and community of Newtown, Connecticut.
urnovers were the story of the night for the Borger teams, who all fell to the Bushland Falcons on Friday night.
The Lady Bulldogs got off to a slow start, trading turnovers with Bushland. There was no scoring nearly three minutes into the game, when Prater and Urquidi had a field goal a piece. N. Embers scored the next four, and Loftis played aggressive defense and came up with a steal. N. Embers hits another three, and the Lady Dogs were enjoying an 11-5 lead. Bushland fought back in it and hit another three of their own to go up 12-11 after one quarter.
Jeffrey Scott Kay, 58, of Borger died Friday, Dec. 14, 2012, in Amarillo.
Funeral services will be 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012, at the Minton Memorial Chapel with Pastor Blain Shelton of Grace Church officiating. Viewing will be Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Services are under the direction of Minton Chatwell Funeral Directors of Borger.
Paradise- B.F. "Ben" Nall, 83, a retired district welder, went to be with our Lord Thursday, December 13, 2012 in Paradise.
Funeral is 10:30 a.m. Saturday, December 15th at Hawkins Funeral Home Chapel in Bridgeport with burial in Cottondale Cemetery. No set visitation.
Rev. David George will officiate. Pallbearers include Carey Davis, Erik Larsen, Shawn Dockum, Brad Hayhurst, Dustin Hayhurst, and Brandon Simpson. Honorary pallbearers are the men of Cottondale Church of Christ.

Pennywise will be making a special appearance at the Red Bull Sound Space at KROQ on April 2, 2012 for several lucky fans.
The live show will be broadcasted over the SoCal rock station KROQ 106.7 FM, and we'll webcast the entire performance beginning at 3:30pm PST so fans from all over the world can tune in!
What's the story behind Red Bull Sound Space at KROQ?
For years the people at KROQ have often wondered, "Wouldn't it be cool if we kicked out the sales department and turned the giant open room into a night club, complete with a stage, studio lighting and amazing sound?"
Well, thanks to Red Bull and KROQ teaming up, we've accomplished the unthinkable.
After convincing the sales team to move into another facility, we removed the cubicles, ripped up the carpet, painted the room black, welded trussing, hung sound and lighting and made ourselves a club rivaling any in LA.
Date and Time:
April 2, 2012
Live Webcast: 08:00 AM PST / 11:00 PM EST

bumGenius Brand Cloth Diapers
bumGenius diapers started with a Cotton Babies one-size microfiber insert, when founder Jenn Labit designed a diaper around it. The company began very small, with $100 worth of product in a tiny green milk crate stored in a shelf in their kitchen. It grew from there to a bookshelf, then a closet, then a bedroom, then a basement, and, finally in 2005, the business expanded into a small commercial space. Now Cotton Babies employs many people in the St. Louis area shipping, retail, office, or in their homes sewing products. bumGenius production has changed as the company has grown.
They started in a woman-owned facility in Denver, Colorado, in 2005. When they needed a second factory, they worked with a factory in Alexandria, Egypt, that is exclusively dedicated to the production of bumGenius diapers for international distributors in Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Australia. They have a full time team of people who work for the quality control company and provide around the clock supervision to ensure their standards are met at all times. Oversight includes company culture, treatment of employees, team building as well as inspecting every single diaper produced. The factory is beautiful and clean. The majority of bumGenius diapers sold in the U.S. are made in Colorado. Made in USA and Made in Egypt.
bumGenius� cloth diapers are designed to make cloth diapering easy for every-day people. We believe that cloth diapering should be as inexpensive and as easy as using disposables. Using bumGenius, it is!
So incredibly easy to use. One-piece, just the right size, unsurpassed in absorbency, fit and convenience.

Researchers say they have created a new class of micro-electronics they call an epidermal electronic system (EES) which utilizes miniature serpentine-shaped sensors, light-emitting diodes, tiny transmitters and receivers and networks of wire filaments into an ultra-thin material that sticks to your skin like a stick-on tattoo."

Skiers from around the globe have descended on the ski resort of Gulmarg, known for long-run skiing, snow-boarding, heli-skiing and steep mountains. Located less than six miles from the ceasefire line or Line of Control (LoC) that divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan. Tourists have begun to return to Kashmir as various foreign governments have relaxed their travel advisory warnings to citizens travelling in the previously strife-torn region.

Carmakers have introduced a fresh marketing strategy to attract your business: lower sticker prices.
By Jessica L. AndersonSeptember 22, 2010
Retailers have long manipulated consumers by marking up merchandise, then promoting sales to clear inventory. Car dealers know how to play the game, too. Their marketing ploys often take the form of manufacturer's cash rebates and low-rate financing. But car companies hate offering these incentives because relying on them to sell vehicles lowers long-term resale values across the product line.
So carmakers have introduced a fresh marketing strategy to attract your business: lower sticker prices. For the 2011 model year, several redesigned vehicles feature more amenities at prices that are the same as or less than prices for the outgoing models. This follows a trend that began with the 2010 model year (see my column from last year).
Biggest bargains. The starting price of the redesigned 2011 Volkswagen Jetta drops by $1,590, to $16,765, including the destination charge. A sharply creased exterior bids adieu to the prosaic design of the past, and added length gives the Jetta a bigger backseat but doesn't hurt its classic German-engineered drivability. A smaller engine in the base model improves fuel economy to 34 miles per gallon on the highway (24 mpg in the city). The savings top out at $2,180 on the SE model ($18,965).
Savings on the sixth-generation BMW 5 series range from $900 (on the top-of-the-line 550i, now $60,575) to $1,650 (on the mid-level 535i, now $50,475). Despite the lower prices, the 5-series models get a design upgrade that echoes the sleeker lines of the 7 series; they're also more powerful and have better fuel efficiency. The 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine in the 528i (starting price: $46,825) boosts the car's mileage to 32 mpg highway, 22 city; the 550i now has a turbocharged V8, which bumps its highway mileage (with automatic) to 25 mpg and its city mileage to 17 mpg. The new 5-series cars also earn a coveted Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
More aggressive pricing moves come from Suzuki and Lincoln. The Suzuki SX4 SportBack is nearly $1,500 cheaper -- even without a redesign this year. The compact hatchback, which has more power and legroom than a Honda Fit, now starts at a more palatable $17,244, and Suzuki has added standard rear side airbags. The new Lincoln MKZ Hybrid sedan has the same price as the gas-engine model ($35,180), erasing the average hybrid premium of $5,500. Mileage is 41 mpg in the city (36 on the highway) versus the gas-engine's 18 mpg city, 27 highway.
Utility reborn. The Ford Explorer dumps its truck heritage and reinvents itself as a crossover for 2011. The V6-powered version gets 20% better fuel economy and starts at $1,100 less ($28,995) than the outgoing model; an optional four-cylinder EcoBoost engine -- similar to the one offered on the Taurus SHO and Flex -- improves mileage by 30%.
The redesigned Kia Sorento also moves to crossover construction for 2011. Kia adds a four-cylinder model for 2011 and drops the starting price by $1,505, to $20,790. The Sorento has a sleek new shape and a roomier interior that now seats up to seven. It is also an IIHS Top Safety Pick.
A more luxurious and spacious interior graces the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee. Fuel efficiency improves to 23 mpg on the highway (city mileage stays the same, at 16 mpg). Its starting price is $30,995 (nearly $500 less than last year), and the price drops by up to $1,160 for the rear-wheel-drive Limited (now $37,100). The Grand Cherokee wins IIHS Top Safety Pick honors.
Seating up to eight, with oodles of storage, the third-generation Toyota Sienna is taking on the dull-minivan stereotype head-on with ads touting it as the "swagger wagon" (search for it on YouTube.com). The Sienna wins an IIHS Top Safety Pick, and it, too, is cheaper than it was last year: The CE starts at $25,070 ($280 less) and the LE starts at $26,155 (a $720 savings).
A mediocre or nonexistent credit history could cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars. Learn the secrets to build a stellar score while you're young.By Erin BurtFebruary 22, 2007
How much do you know about your credit score? That three-digit number is tied inseparably to our financial lives, yet many young adults haven't given it the attention it deserves. Your score can play a role in your ability to rent an apartment, qualify for a loan or even get a job. It can also affect how much you'll pay on interest charges, insurance and even cell phone contracts.
Make building a stellar score a priority while you're young and you could actually save hundreds or thousands of dollars over your lifetime. However, if you don't take your credit seriously, a bad score -- or even a nonexistent score -- will cost you.
Your credit score is basically used to predict the possibility that you won't pay your bills. They are compiled by Fair, Isaac & Co., and are sometimes called FICO scores. The top possible number is 850, but topping 800 is probably unrealistic. A median score usually falls in the 720-to-725 range, meaning half of consumers fall above that point, half below. Even if you haven't given your FICO score much thought, there are plenty of others who have or will, so you'll want to aim for the mid-700s to make the best impression on:
1. Lenders. This group is the one most people associate with their credit score. Having a good rating can help you qualify for the best rates on a mortgage, car loan, credit card and even a small business loan if you've got that entrepreneurial spirit. A nonexistent score can make it impossible for you to qualify for a loan or credit card at all. (Learn how to overcome this obstacle below.)
2. Insurers. The majority of auto insurance companies use your credit score when determining your rates, and the practice is also common among home insurers. A recent survey by Consumer Reports among eight popular auto insurers found that drivers with top scores could pay up to 31% less on their premiums than if credit scoring wasn't factored in, while those with bad scores would pay as much as 143% more.
3. Landlords. Increasingly, you may need a good credit score to rent an apartment. Landlords view your credit rating as a measure of your responsibility to pay bills on time. If your rating is below par or you don't have a credit score yet, you may have to find a friend or relative to co-sign your lease, or you could be required to pay a higher rent or security deposit.
4. Employers. When you're applying for a job, potential employers can pull your credit report as long as they notify you first. And, in fact, about 35% of them do, according to the Society for Human Resource Management. Why? Bad credit can be a signal of irresponsibility, or employers might be worried you'll spend more time fretting about your financial woes than concentrating on the job.
5. Cell phone carriers. Even cell phone service providers may check your credit before signing you up for a plan. They want to make sure you're responsible and will pay your bill each month. Some utility providers may pull your report as well. If you have credit issues, you may not qualify for the best plan rates, you could be required to pay a deposit, or you could get turned down.
So, how much does your credit score affect your finances? Say we have two friends, Jim and Mark. Both took steps right out of college to start building a credit report by getting their first credit cards and an auto loan. Jim made all his payments on time, never maxed out his credit cards and often paid more than the minimum required. Mark, however, frequently paid late, overextended his cards and applied for new credit to bail him out of his mismanaged debts.
Now both are ready to buy homes, and they each apply for a $250,000 30-year mortgage. Through Jim's responsibility, he's been able to build a score of 750, qualifying him for a loan with a 6.2% interest rate, according to Fair Isaac, a credit scoring bureau. Mark's score comes in around 650, netting him a rate at 7.3% interest. Jim's monthly mortgage payment is $1,536 while Mark pays $1,718 -- a difference of $182 per month. If they both live in their homes for ten years before selling or refinancing, Mark will pay $21,840 more in monthly payments than his friend. Ouch.
Mark also gets burned on a new auto loan -- paying $1,332 more over three years on a $20,000 loan than Jim. Plus, Mark probably paid much more for his car insurance than Jim.
Even if you don't plan on applying for a loan, or getting a new apartment or a new insurance policy anytime soon, it's a good idea to start building your credit score now so it's there when you need it.
When you're starting from scratch, a good place to begin is in college where lenders hand out credit cards like candy. But don't rush to indulge. Janet Bodnar, Kiplinger.com's Money-Smart Kids columnist, advises students to get just one card their junior or senior year, use it occasionally and pay off the balance each month. It's much easier to qualify for a credit card while you're in school than after you graduate (lenders figure that Mom and Dad will bail you out while you're in college if you can't pay your bill).
If you're already out of school, or you don't trust yourself with a full-fledged credit card yet, a secured card will help you get off on the right foot. This card allows you to make a deposit with a lender (such as your bank or credit union), and the amount usually becomes your credit limit. The issuer takes on zero risk because if you don't pay on time, it can dip into your account to cover the bill. Most issuers require a deposit of $300 to $5,000. You build a history just as fast with a secured card as with a regular one. And after making payments on time for a year with a secured card, you should have an adequate history to switch to an unsecured card and get your deposit back.
A new scoring system from FICO may soon help young adults trying to build a credit history. It is based on alternative data such as whether you pay your electric bill on time and maintain a clean checking account (learn more.) So you'd do well to keep all areas of your finances in tip-top shape.
Knowing what goes into your credit score can help you manage your debts well. Here's how to make the best impression on your credit history:

NEWSTEAD, NY - State Police and fire rescue crews responded to a serious one car accident on the NYS Thruway overnight.
State Police say it happened just after 1:30 Monday morning in the westbound lanes of I-90 near the South Newstead Road overpass in the Town of Newstead.
They say a vehicle rolled over and that a man was thrown from that vehicle.
Both westbound lanes were shut down to allow a Mercy Flight helicopter to land so that the man could be flown to Erie County Medical Center. We're told the man suffered head and upper body injuries. His current condition is not known.
A woman was also taken by ambulance to another area hospital to be checked out.
Check back for updates to this story as they become available.

Prom: a rite of passage, endless fodder for teen movies and TV episodes, and – according to a 2008 Hearst survey – a night that'll set you back $566. Ouch. With the recession, some teens are making their own dresses or repurposing vintage castoffs...and some are even using duct tape.
Duck Tape, which makes the tape in bright, candy-colored rolls, is challenging teens to craft duct tape creations by June 13 to win cash scholarships. First prize is $5,000, and the top 10 couples all get cash, so get taping, you crazy kids.
Would-be crafters wandering through Staples will see Tags on end displays for Duck Tape, which go to a site with craft ideas, er, "Ducktivities." Because why end the fun at prom?
Would your high school self have made a duct tape prom outfit to win college cash? What do you think of Duck Tape's use of Tag? Did they miss any sticky ideas? Tell us in the comments or on Facebook or Twitter.

Researchers have found a way to create high-quality repeating patterns with features just ten nanometers across. The work, reported this week in two papers in the journal Science, could provide a means for producing nanoscale materials for applications such as computer data storage and solar cell technology.
The researchers used a technique known as self assembly, in which carefully designed physical and chemical forces are used to coax components into arranging themselves onto a surface. By adding certain features to the surface as a 'template' to guide the self assembly process, the teams found that they could create nanoscale patterns over a large area with a higher degree of perfection than previously possible. We'll talk about why that matters.

CANTON A war canoe captained by a Golden Bear has run ashore in the middle of the village park.
The snow sculpture was a shared effort by the Grasse River Heritage Area Development Corp. and the Canton Canoe Weekend committee, whose members braved the cold Saturday morning to work on their project.
We just wanted to participate in Winterfest, said Linda L. Fay, a member of Grasse River Heritage. We wanted one bear on the canoe because its a symbol of Canton sports and Canton High School.
Sitting behind the bear in the canoe are three people, the last of whom will be a replica of Kerry Newell, Canton.
Kerrys the Canton canoer who owned a war canoe for many, many years and has taken many groups of 12 to 15 people out on it at a time, Mrs. Fay said.
The village engineer and crew gathered snow from the park and roads and dumped it into a narrow heap toward the front of the park, according to Mrs. Fay.
The Canton village board members and the mayor will also be doing a snow sculpture, she said. We dont know what theyre doing because its supposed to be a secret.
Mrs. Fay and her nine-member sculpting crew were not the only ones taking advantage of Saturdays sunshine to celebrate day three of Winterfest by sculpting.
Terry L. McKendree, Old DeKalb, demonstrated his chain saw carvings outside of Coakleys Carpet One Ace Hardware, 2535 Route 68.
Using a chain saw, finishing tools and torches, Mr. McKendree showed off his seven years of experience with large white-pine animal carvings, including a bear hockey goalie, a German shepherd and a penguin.
We certainly have a lot of things that are unique to this area, and its fun to get out and enjoy them in the middle of the winter after being cooped up for a while, Mr. McKendree said.
The Little River School, 1227 County Route 25, participated in Winterfest with a festival of its own Saturday.
After sledding, snow castle building and igloo making, families and children enjoyed snacks, cider, music and crafts indoors as they warmed up.
Its a fun gathering for us and the kids and is really just to celebrate winter and to have a lot of fun, said Steven A. Molnar, director of the school.
The St. Lawrence County Historical Association celebrated winter indoors with its Second Saturday Series for children ages 4 to 10.
Were focusing on the winter theme, so we had a story about a snowman and the kids will be building 3-D snowflakes, said J. Susanne Longshore, interim executive director. Theyre also going to have wax on snow, which is basically heating up maple syrup and pouring it over snow. Its an old-fashioned treat.
Traditional Arts in Upstate New York, 53 Main St., joined in the Winterfest activities by opening an exhibit called Life on a North Country Dairy Farm.
The exhibit was a research project coordinated by Hannah S. Harvester, the exhibit curator.
TAUNYs done a lot of research and documentation of different traditions in the region, she said. Weve done some research into agriculture, but it was sort of underrepresented in our archive of the research that weve done.
Ms. Harvester said she and other researchers reached out to farmers all over the north country and interviewed them, their families and employees about their lives and occupations.
Ms. Harvester said professional photographer Martha Cooper, New York City, went with her to 10 different farms to shoot photos to accompany the research, which is now all on display in themed sections.
Winterfest will continue with different events each day through Saturday .

*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.

|Charter Districts
In more and more places across the country, states and districts are significantly altering how they govern public education. An interesting recent development is charter districts also referred to as all-charter districts in which all or most of the schools are charter or contract schools. Rather than operating schools themselves, these districts enter into charters or contracts with individuals and entities to run schools which may be either newly created charter schools or existing schools that convert to charter status. Through the charters or contracts, the district extends autonomy and resources to schools, and at the same time holds them accountable for student achievement.
