Watertown Golf Club wants to acquire about 66 acres of the 18-hole golf course at Thompson Park that it now leases from the city of Watertown.
Former Mayor Joseph M. Butler Sr., who serves on Watertown Golf Clubs board and is one of its principal stockholders, said Monday night the club wants to purchase the nine holes that the city owns.
He met with Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham, City Manager Sharon A. Addison and other city officials about two weeks ago to see if the city would be willing to sell.
It would be very advantageous to us and beneficial to the city of Watertown, Mr. Butler said.
The golf club has used the 66 acres holes seven through 15 since it expanded from nine to 18 holes in the early 1960s. The public golf club has owned the other holes since it was formed in 1926.
It pays the city about $8,700 a year to lease the nine holes under a 23-year lease agreement it signed seven years ago. Instead of paying an annual lease, the golf club would end up owning the land and then make a significant investment in making improvements, Mr. Butler said.
He said the golf club has no plans to sell the course.
The organization already has talked with a bank about obtaining a loan to finance the acquisition.
At Monday nights meeting, Mayor Graham informed the Watertown City Council about the golf clubs interest in purchasing the land. He wanted to see if the other council members would be interested in parting with the property.
Its landlocked and it has no other use, Mayor Graham said, but noted the price would have to be negotiated. You cant just give it away because you like a guy.
He said the state Legislature has to approve the sale because it involves park land. It also would take four votes of the five-member council to approve the deal. Mr. Butlers son, Councilman Joseph M. Butler Jr., would have to abstain from the vote.
A public course with about 200 members, the club is made up of about 30 stockholders. The club built and owns the clubhouse, pro shop and maintenance building on its 57 acres on the other half of the course.
In 2006, the city and the Watertown Golf Club extended the lease through 2029, with the organization making annual payments starting at $8,668 until 2014 and gradually increasing to $10,768 during the last four years of the agreement. The previous agreement would have expired in December 2009.
If it can acquire the holes, the golf club would add some golf cart paths over what is now rough terrain, lengthen hole 12 and add a new green there, and make some landscaping improvements, Mr. Butler said.
The bottom line is, making the improvements that would be beneficial to the golfers, he said.

To guide and empower students to use critical and creative thinking as they explore academic areas of interest while developing and pursuing their life goals.
Academic advising at Guilford is far more than the two words suggest. Here at Guilford, we take to heart our responsibility to guide students through not only academic choices, but life choices as well. As students decide on a major(s), they choose an advisor within that major(s) who will assist not only with course selection, but independent studies, graduate school preparation, internship selection and/or life after graduation.
Steven Shapiro, Associate Professor of Physics, serves as the faculty head of advising.
Email Steven Shapiro or call 336.316.2237.
To foster individual responsibility, Guilford College subscribes to the principles of an honor system and encourages a mature understanding and acceptance of the code.
What is the Honor Code?
The statement, "I have been honest and have not observed any dishonesty," gives testament to the honor system and should be pledged in writing on all academic work. Compliance is assumed even if the statement does not appear on College work. Faculty members may insist that the statement be written on all academic work and may refuse to extend credit for work on which it does not appear.
Student Responsibility to the Honor System
In addition to adherence to the Honor Code, students are expected to confront other students who have apparently violated the code and to report such violations. A failure to confront or report such violation may be considered a violation of honor code.
What is its importance to life and education at Guilford?
Academic honesty and integrity represent central elements of the liberal arts education at Guilford College. As scholars pursuing knowledge and truth, informed by the Quaker testimony on integrity, we seek a community where each member acts responsibly and honorably in all activities and at all times. Acts of dishonesty represent a serious offense at Guilford College.
What constitutes a violation of the honor code?
The academic honor code is violated when anyone claims credit, implicitly or explicitly, for work and ideas that are not her or his own. Violations of the academic honor code include, but are not limited to, the list below:
Whenever a student is uncertain as to whether conduct would violate the Honor Code, it is the responsibility of the student to seek clarification from the appropriate faculty member prior to engaging in such conduct.

Dummies guide to the latest "Hockey Stick" controversy
by Gavin Schmidt and Caspar Amman
Due to popular demand, we have put together a 'dummies guide' which tries to describe what the actual issues are in the latest controversy, in language even our parents might understand. A pdf version is also available. More technical descriptions of the issues can be seen here and here.
This guide is in two parts, the first deals with the background to the technical issues raised by McIntyre and McKitrick (2005) (MM05), while the second part discusses the application of this to the original Mann, Bradley and Hughes (1998) (MBH98) reconstruction. The wider climate science context is discussed here, and the relationship to other recent reconstructions (the 'Hockey Team') can be seen here.
NB. All the data that were used in MBH98 are freely available for download at ftp://holocene.evsc.virginia.edu/pub/sdr/temp/nature/MANNETAL98/ (and also as supplementary data at Nature) along with a thorough description of the algorithm.
Part I: Technical issues:
1) What is principal component analysis (PCA)?
This is a mathematical technique that is used (among other things) to summarize the data found in a large number of noisy records so that the essential aspects can more easily seen. The most common patterns in the data are captured in a number of 'principal components' which describe some percentage of the variation in the original records. Usually only a limited number of components ('PC's) have any statistical significance, and these can be used instead of the larger data set to give basically the same description.
2) What do these individual components represent?
Often the first few components represent something recognisable and physical meaningful (at least in climate data applications). If a large part of the data set has a trend, than the mean trend may show up as one of the most important PCs. Similarly, if there is a seasonal cycle in the data, that will generally be represented by a PC. However, remember that PCs are just mathematical constructs. By themselves they say nothing about the physics of the situation. Thus, in many circumstances, physically meaningful timeseries are 'distributed' over a number of PCs, each of which individually does not appear to mean much. Different methodologies or conventions can make a big difference in which pattern comes up tops. If the aim of the PCA analysis is to determine the most important pattern, then it is important to know how robust that pattern is to the methodology. However, if the idea is to more simply summarize the larger data set, the individual ordering of the PCs is less important, and it is more crucial to make sure that as many significant PCs are included as possible.
3) How do you know whether a PC has significant information?

Submission Earthquake Predicted by Toads, Scientists Say->
reillymj writes: Research claims toads sensed a severe quake in last year five days before it hit. Last spring's L'Aquila earthquake devastated the medieval city of the same name in Italy. Five days earlier, a group of biologists noticed some toads behaving strangely in a pond nearby what would later be the quake's epicenter. Coincidence? These researchers think not.

Comments about Tamarack Jacket (Women's):
I bought this jacket for my girlfriend who is always backpacking and camping. She also needed something that looked good enough to wear out. The styling of the jacket is great, and so is the performance for the money. I found this on clearance for [$], so it was a great find. The waterproof zippers and double front zipper work amazingly well. The jacket also keeps the wind at bay. It is not very warm but if you layer it with a sweater then you have warmth, wind resistance, and water resistance. I would recommend this product to anyone that is looking for something that looks nice and performs well for the weekend warrior.

|Piedmont Travel Alert; I-40-I-77 Interchange
|Written by Steve Frank
|Saturday, 22 September 2012 11:17
If your travels take you to the Statesville area, note that work has started to rebuild the intersection of Interstates 77 and 40, with much work in the surrounding corridor. On that, overnight lane closures will take place starting Monday on Interstate 40 East in Statesville
between mile markers 150 and 152 starting, running until the morning of Saturday, Sept. 29 as part of the project. The lane closures will be in place nightly from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Thursday nights, and from 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28 until 8 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29. N.C. Department of transportation contractor Zachry Construction Corp. of San Antonio, Texas will mill and add asphalt to the shoulders along I-40 East.

The project includes:
The Statesville interchange of I-40/77 was built in late 1960s. The current configuration does not meet today's design guidelines, and the interchange has outlived its service life.

Season: 8 Episode: 48
Title: Paris Edition
Original Airdate: 4/15/96
Appearances: Ann Demeulemeester, Emma Balfour, Jean Paul Gaultier, Jerry Hall, Julien D'Ys, Jean Touitou
A couple of things make this segment extra-special for me: the fact that we have a rare interview with the incomparable Belgian genius Ann Demeulemeester, and that hearing model Emma Balfour speak so eloquently about her sent me into a weird fact-finding mission that led to the discovery that Emma became a poet! It's not every day you hear from a model who has been compared to Raymond Carver. Seriously.
The F/W 1996 Ann D collection is pretty special. She's such a master and cuts a mean, lean silhouette with this fantastically somber Antwerpian gravitas, yet there are off-kilter details like asymmetrical sleeves or meandering plackets that deliver tension in this wonderful contrapposto — it's the sort of bound agony you see in Greek sculpture from the Hellenistic period. It's great. This is what Demeulemeester says about the process: "When I start the collections, most of the time I start with a certain movement. So the movement of this collection is that I tried to work on a twisted body." What? Can you just think about that? It's so insane to think that her point of inspiration is how fabric behaves on a screwy form. It shouldn't be surprising, since she can command textile to do whatever she wants, but honestly, could she make the terrain any more challenging?
There's a ton of excellent stuff in this season as a whole. HoS fave Jean Paul Gaultier is going through a sculptural period and is heavily into moving cubes and spheres. There's this great moment with Jerry Hall, who remarks that she's modeling as a madwoman who doesn't realize she's mad and sounds totally unhinged as she's describing it. From Rifat Ozbek to Romeo Gigli, there are mixed prints, velvet, skinny maxi skirts, sweaters, bright evening suiting, tartan ball gowns and fur stoles; on the beauty side, this is the season of the top-knot, fashion Mohawk, glittery face makeup that appears to have been cried into smears, and dark bars painted over eyes in place of liner.

OK, I had never heard of Julien D'Ys so I didn't have an appreciation for how wonderful this segment is and just thought it was cool that he invited Shalom and Amber over for some hair tips. Apparently, at the time of this taping, Julien is "one of the most revered hair masters working today." Julien is the guy who, since 2005, has been doing all the head-dressing at the Costume Institute Exhibition at the Met; he's also been collaborating with Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons for over two decades, and you know how particular (and brilliant) Rei is. Most recently, you may have seen Julien's flawless pin curls on Katy Perry's Old Hollywood transformation for the June 2011 issue of Vanity Fair, but more importantly, Julien is also a photographer, set designer and a painter.
Last year, Julien had his first painting exhibition, and it's so rad that we get to see all of his canvases from 1996 in his apartment while he teaches Amber how to use tinfoil and molding clay to curl her hair. He then puts wigs on Shalom and shows us how a cut-up piece of panty hose can act like SPANX for her real hair so that everything lies flat under the hair piece. All very cool and 100% applicable to life, but I just really liked the bit where he talked about his paintings because it's so clear how passionately he feels about being a fine artist. Plus, the part where his blowdryer (and probably all of our camera lights) blows a fuse in his crappy New York apartment is super-relatable as well. That's the magic of House of Style: You could go from knowing nothing to wanting to hang out with a person based on footage that was shot 16 years ago.
A.P.C. designer Jean Touitou in 1996.

On the topic of people I want to hang out with, A.P.C designer Jean Touitou is definitely one of them. Even if he sort of terrifies me. This reminds me so much of the Franco Moschino interview in that he's so clever, quick and controversial that you can never tell if he's mocking or goading you ("Cynicism is a humor that suits me" he's said in a T magazine profile). It's been eons since the artisanal jeans movement stormed the gate (denimgate?), so I'll go ahead and presume you all know the brand A.P.C. (atelier de production et de creation). It started in Paris in 1986, it's a line that makes jeans that you have to work very hard to break in, and "A.P.C." is the universally agreed-upon, male, fashblogger-approved response to, "What jeans are you wearing?"
All of this, obviously, is by design. Touitou has pursued music from the beginning as well and is just as unorthodox in that arena in terms of how he likes to do business. He releases his own music and creates compilations with like-minded friends. According to T, he even built a recording studio at A.P.C. HQ, a haven for employees who want to record with their bands, and where parts of the score for Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox were recorded. I'm going to do that annoying thing where I just pull out some responses and cut-and-paste them, not (only) because I'm lazy, but because his quotes are great unmolested.
On A.P.C.'s iterative processes:
"Here we make the fabric, we design, manufacture, we mail order. It's invisible work and it takes a long time to do."
On fashion shows:
"The fashion show for me is purely a spectacular nonsense. It's all related to how much hype you get at that period of time. Everybody's going to think you're fabulous or not and it's not based on your work and your clothes."
On releasing music:
"I decided to produce music when I had the means to do so. We decided to do a first album and to be totally independent. I'm sorry, but I do not want to talk to the music industry."
On logos:
"Everybody wants to be a star very quickly, and so anybody will do a label and have his name on it. So I didn't want no name at all at the beginning….The first collection was just the label with the name, with the date actually. The first one was called 'Winter '87.'"
On tawdry clothes:
"I don't like the clothes too loudly sexy because sex, when it's too loud, is not sex anymore. It's an image of sex, and you don't want the image to want sex."

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
Sunnyside residents should expect to pay more for ambulance service after the Sunnyside City Council approved a resolution increasing rates through the next year.
The resolution #R6-2011, which is designed to raise ambulance rates to state approved levels, will be in effect from July 22, 2010 through June 30, 2012. This increase in ambulance service is the second rate hike in the last year as statewide rates were raised back in July 2010.
The Utah Department of Health each year looks at services, including ambulance rates, and sets allowable rates that departments around the state would charge for services.
The increase in rates is not uncommon as ambulance service can be effected by factors including surging fuel prices, training emergency personnel, medicare and medicaid reimbursements falling and more.
Ambulance rates are separated into three different categories including basic, intermediate and paramedic ground ambulance. Over the last year, the basic ground ambulance rate was at $535. For those in the intermediate level the base rate was $707 and those within the paramedic ground ambulance category was at $1,035 per transport.
Beginning last week rates for all three categories will rise, according to the Utah Department of Health. The rates will be increasing as follows:
Basic ground ambulance will rise to $569 from $535
Intermediate ground ambulance will rise to $752 from $707
Paramedic ground ambulance will rise to $1,100 from $1,035
While ambulance rates may be increasing, mileage rates and special provisions including waiting times will not change this year. A charge of $31.65 per mile is charged during transport which is computed from the point of pickup to the point of delivery.
The order also includes the possibility of rising costs of fuel, stating that when diesel prices exceed $5.10 per gallon or gasoline exceeds $4.25 per gallon as invoiced, a surcharge of $0.25 per mile of transport may be added to the mileage rate. Off-road rates have also been affected by the mandate. Where the ambulance is required to travel for 10 or more miles on unpaved roads, a surcharge of $1.50 per mile traveled may be assessed, according to DOH statistics.
A special provisions area of the mandate concerning waiting time says that an ambulance shall provide 15 minutes of time at no extra charge at both the point of pickup and delivery. After that, a charge of $22.05 may be charged per every quarter hour or fraction thereof. On round trips, an ambulance shall provide 30 minutes at no charge from the time the ambulance reaches the point of delivery until starting the return trip. After 30 minutes, the ambulance service may charge $22.05 per quarter hour or fraction thereof thereafter, according to DOH statistics.

Carbon County experienced slightly declining unemployment in October. Joblessness in the local area registered at 4.1 percent last month, dipping from the 4.5 percent unemployment rate recorded in the county in September.
But Carbon County's economy failed to generate expanding employment in October, with the local growth rate sliding into the negative side of the spectrum at minus 0.4 percent. The county reported 9,496 non-farm wage and salaried jobs last month, compared to the 9,536 local labor force positions posted in October 2006.
At the state level, Utah's number of non-farm wage and salaried jobs for October continued to moderate, decreasing to 4.3 percent employment growth during the last 12-months. But even with the slight downward movement, Utah's employment growth exceeded the state's long-term average of 3.3 percent per year since 1950. Utah's economy created approximately 52,500 labor market positions during the last year, raising total wage and salary employment to 1,275,300 statewide.
Utah's second primary indicator of labor market conditions, the unemployment rate, measured at 2.8 percent in October. Approximately 37,700 Utahns were unemployed last month compared to 35,000 in October 2006.
"The subtle moderation in Utah's economic expansion is continuing," noted Mark Knold, department of workforce services economist. "This is expected, though, as high employment growth rates for extended periods of time are difficult to maintain. You constantly have to add higher amounts of employment growth just to equal the percentage of job creation from the previous year. To illustrate with a hypothetical example, if an economy grew by 90 jobs over the past year, and that was a 10 percent growth rate and raised total employment to 1,000, to repeat the 10 percent growth this year you now have to add 100 new jobs instead of 90. The larger the economy's foundation becomes, the larger the volume of new jobs that need to be created just to maintain an even growth percentage. Our historical experience shows that as time progresses, the math takes its toll. All growth periods rise to a high point and then wane. Utah's current expansion passed its high point over a year ago. The good news is the economy does seem to be doing its best to keep the wane to a minimum - at least for now."
All of Utah's industrial sectors continued to add jobs in October. The gains occurred across the industries at different rates and construction no longer led the state's employment expansion. After three-plus years, the torch passed to the trade, transportation and utilities sector.
The trade-transportation conglomeration added 11,300 jobs in the past year, while construction growth dropped to 10,700 employment opportunities.
"It's not so much a case of trade employment surging, but instead a case of construction growth slowing," indicated Knold.
Another Utah industry sector posting continued growth, but at a slowing rate, was professional and business services. Industries growing and maintaining an even pace last month included education and health services, manufacturing, and leisure and hospitality.
One industry showing accelerated employment growth statewide is government. Local governments accounted for the majority of labor market expansion, a response to the wave of elementary age children hitting local school system.
Utah has witnessed a surge of household formations throughout most of the decade, translating into more consumer dollars to be spent. Retail trade, the primary industry that captures consumer spending, is naturally positioned to have a growth spurt as a consequence of the overall household expansions.
Retail activity responds to population expansion - especially smaller businesses, explained the DWS economist. But the existing industry distribution and an area's ability to function as a regional attractor also influence retail activity, noted the DWS economist.
At the national level, the United States' unemployment rate remained at 4.7 percent last month. Since October 2006, the nation's economy has added 1.6 million jobs for a growth rate of 1.2 percent.
The approximately 52,500 employment opportunities generated in Utah represent about 3.3 percent of all the jobs added across the U.S. during the last year. Utah comprises less than 1 percent of the nation's total employment base, concluded Knold.

THE CAPTAIN KNOWS ALL ABOUT SYSTEMSCommitting to Lemaire's earned Guerin a Cup ring
2:45 pm – If the Islanders ever need someone to preach the gospel of committing to a system, all they have to do is look to their captain.
Bill Guerin was a second-year NHLer 15 years ago when Jacques Lemaire took over as head coach of the New Jersey Devils and installed a new defensive system. Two years later, Guerin and his teammates were the owners of Stanley Cup rings.
"On his first day, Jacques showed us his new system," Guerin said after practice at the Coliseum today. "It had never been done before. All we did was practice it and practice it, every day until we started to get it right.
"We worked all the time on our positioning, our angles. It didn't happen overnight. But Jacques changed the game, we won a Stanley Cup and the system is still being played today."
Guerin's Devils team was 41-27-12 that first season under Lemaire, then won 47 regular season games and the Cup in Year 2. No one is saying the Islanders can replicate that feat, but it makes it a whole lot easier to buy into a new system when your captain can look you in the eye and say, Been There. Done That.
"It's a challenge, but it gets easier the more you commit to it and the more you work at it," said Guerin. "It means watching a lot of tape and seeing where you did well and where you messed up. You're rewarded for committing to the system and executing it."
Gordon has stated since the beginning of the pre-season schedule that his teams have won the games when they nailed the system and lost the games when it got away from them. Guerin said that's inarguably been the case in the Islanders' 2-3 start to the regular season.
"All you have to do is look at the last two games," he said. "In Tampa Bay, we played it well and won. In Florida, we were a step behind most of the night and lost. The results of Scott's forecheck system are like when you're trying to make a play on offense. When you execute it, you can see how it works. If you don't execute, you don't succeed."
Guerin made a point to say, "Without question, everyone is behind Scott." But what happens during those stretches when the system goes off the rails? Recalling his time with Lemaire, the Islanders captain said, "It's the coach's job to enforce it."
The only way a coach can effectively enforce is through the distribution of playing time. With only 12 healthy forwards currently on the Islanders' roster, the first sign that Gordon has decided he's given everyone enough time will be a call to Bridgeport.
ETC: Absolutely nothing to report from practice today. Same lines, no news, no injury updates. Media at practice today: Arthur Staple of Newsday and two guys from Switzerland to talk to Mark Streit.

Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The authors presented the results of well designed multi center randomized phase III study comparing XP to FP in advanced gastric cancer. The authors' conclusions and methods were valid, and they have demonstrated the non-inferiority of XP compared to FP. Capecitabine is a relatively new chemotherapeutic agent that is quite expensive. It would be interesting for someone to perform an economic analysis of these two regimens. There are certainly benefits to giving a medication orally over intravenously, however, there is one particular drawback. When patients are treated intravenously, their physicians have complete control over the delivery of the prescribed medication. When medications are given orally, then patients become in charge of their own care. Studies have shown that the majority of patients prescribed antibiotics twice a day do not take the entire course as directed. It would be interesting to try and measure patients' compliance with their capecitabine prescription in the next clinical trial that employs it.

|Women's Basketball » Schedule » Roster » News » Statistics » Coaches » Camps
Monday, September 22, 2008MACON, Ga. - The Atlantic Sun Conference and Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) announced the schedule of games for their popular CSS A-Sun Game of the Week television package, marking the seventh consecutive year of A-Sun men's basketball being featured in primetime.
The storied Battle of the Boulevard between Belmont and Lipscomb will air in a special Thursday edition on February 12. One day later, ETSU and Lipscomb's women's squads square off in Allen Arena.
The Bisons game at Mercer on Friday February 20 will also be televised on CSS.
Before entering conference play, Lipscomb will travel to Indiana on December 28 for a televised game on the Big Ten Network.
"The A-Sun/CSS Friday Night Game of the Week has become a staple for college basketball fans," said A-Sun Commissioner Ted Gumbart. "We are extremely pleased to continue the tradition and look forward to showcasing outstanding basketball games featuring the outstanding programs in the A-Sun."
All 11 member schools will be featured at least once during the nine-week programming schedule. The schedule opens on Friday, January 9, when Mercer and new head coach Bob Hoffman travel south to take on Jacksonville. The Mercer-Jacksonville series has proven to be one of the most hotly contested in the country, as the two have played four overtime games in the last five years. Only one NCAA Division I rivalry, Belmont vs. Lipscomb, has featured more overtime games in that time span. One week later, Stetson, off an 11-5 A-Sun mark in 2008, faces Kennesaw State.
A budding Florida rivalry follows when UNF and Florida Gulf Coast meet on January 23. A special Monday edition is scheduled for January 26, when ETSU hosts USC Upstate. The Buccaneers hit the Friday Night stage on CSS four days later, traveling to Jacksonville to face the Dolphins. Campbell then hosts three-time defending tournament champion Belmont on February 6 in the CSS debut for Campbell's new John W. Pope Jr. Convocation Center. The regular-season slate will conclude with Stetson at Campbell on February 27.
For a second straight year, CSS will provide enhanced coverage of the General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Basketball Championship, carrying two men's and women's quarterfinal matches on both Wednesday, March 4, and Thursday, March 5. CSS airs all four semifinal contests on Friday, March 6, and the women's championship game on Saturday, March 7.
"CSS is proud to again be carrying the A-Sun Game of the Week each Friday during the college basketball season," CSS General Manager Mark Fuhrman said. CSS is committed to bringing viewers throughout the southeast the very best in regional college basketball action, and this includes all the outstanding teams in the A-Sun Conference."
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life. The A-Sun stands for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas, with a focus on the balance between the two for our student-athletes. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun boasts five of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun includes a blend of the most dynamic and prestigious private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.

ADAMS CENTER A three-county police chase Tuesday night on Interstate 81 ended in the arrest of a Texas man who finally was caught in the town of Adams after state troopers were able to deflate his pickups tires with spike strips.
State police in Watertown said they arrested Christopher N. Moore, 33, Dallas, Texas, after he led police on a chase that began shortly before 9 p.m. in Cortland County, when troopers observed his vehicle traveling at 83 mph in a 65-mph zone.
The chase began when Mr. Moore failed to comply with police, troopers said.
Police ended the pursuit after deploying stop strips just south of Exit 42. The vehicle became disabled when both front tires were deflated, and it came to a stop at the Adams Center northbound offramp, police said.
Mr. Moore was not injured, and was taken into custody without incident.
Troopers said they later discovered that Mr. Moore was operating a 2008 pickup truck that was reported stolen May 31 in the Kilgore, Texas, area.
Mr. Moore also was found to have been operating on an expired Texas drivers license and to be in possession of two glass pipes containing marijuana residue, police said.
He was charged at 10:20 p.m. with third-degree criminal possession of stolen property, which is a Class D felony, third-degree unlawful fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle and unlawful possession of marijuana.
He also was issued numerous vehicle and traffic tickets, including speeding, reckless driving and unlicensed operation.
Police said Mr. Moore, who has no ties to the Northern New York area, was arraigned in Ellisburg Town Court. He subsequently was sent to the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building, Watertown, on no bail.
State police were assisted by the Jefferson County Sheriffs Department and the Onondaga County Sheriffs Department.

Google jumped its final hurdle in its $12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola Mobility with China approving the deal. The next step may involve layoffs for Motorola Mobility employees in the near future. According to Tech Crunch, layoffs could be on the list of things to do after the deal closes.
Discover the latest innovative protection solutions for Motorola cell phones ... stylish top brand bags, sleeves as well as cases and skins specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
Motorola went through one restructuring after the announcement of the Google acquisition last year. When the announcement went public, Motorola had 19,000 employees. Later that year about 800 employees were laid off. Neither Google nor Motorola have confirmed the possibility of upcoming layoffs.
Enhance your gaming mobility and turn your device into a gamers' power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables, HTC Media Link and XMI Speakers all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
"I'm excited to announce today that our Motorola Mobility deal has closed," said Larry Page, Google CEO. "Motorola is a great American tech company that has driven the mobile revolution, with a track record of over 80 years of innovation, including the creation of the first cell phone. We all remember Motorola's StarTAC, which at the time seemed tiny and showed the real potential of these devices. As the company who made a big, early bet on Android, Motorola has become an incredibly valuable partner to Google."
While the news of any layoffs under any circumstances is bad news, maybe Google can turn the phone- maker around. Motorola has been in trouble for awhile now. Earlier this month, the company reported a fifth straight quarter of losses including a net loss of $86 million for the first quarter of 2012. In previous consecutive quarters, Motorola reported net losses in the low $80 million area. Motorola hasn't been able to figure out how to compete with other Android device manufacturers like Samsung and HTC.
Google also announced today that Motorola Mobility CEO Sanjay Jha has stepped down and Google executive Dennis Woodside will take over.

There were so many big games for the Orioles this year but there was one game where I just KNEW that year was going to be so different. I KNEW we we had a special group of players, and I KNEW we were going to have a winning season, and I BELIEVED we might make the playoffs.
I don't want to share my choice yet, but I don't think I will be the only one to choose it. What's yours, and why?

Abajo/Blue Mountains.Conservation Officer Chris Rhea reports that San Juan County waters are opening up. Blanding thee and four are ice-free. Recapture is partially open.
Gigliotti Pond. Ice fishing has been good. One party caught a fish every 3-4 minutes, using Velveeta cheese.
Huntington North Reservoir. Warm spring temperatures have softened the ice. Further ice fishing is not recommended. Please wait until the ice breaks up for shoreline angling.
Huntington Reservoir. (on the Wasatch Plateau in Sanpete County). The ice is so thick that an auger extension is necessary. Access is difficult due to several feet of snow and slush covering the ice. Very little fishing pressure. No recent report. Tiger trout have been averaging 15 inches. Special regulations apply. See the proclamation.
Joes Valley Reservoir. Aquatics Manager Paul Birdsey commented that Joes Valley is one of the best ice fishing destinations in the state. Last weekend, Paul's fishing party of three caught and released 30 fish in less than four hours. Most trout ranged between 10 and 19 inches. Justin Hart caught a six lb. splake with a small chartreuse spoon, tipped with a piece of shiner meat. Justin recommends moving holes every half hour, if fish don't seem to be active. The bite is best between 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. For best results, fish in 12-20 feet of water. Try to locate a channel ledge and use chunks of sucker or chub meat to attract the big ones.
Mike Milburn and Alan Green fished the reservoir on Feb. 27. They caught and released 16 trout between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. They used small chartreuse jigs tipped with shiner meat under an attractor. All fish ranged between 13 and 18 inches. Special regulations apply. Please refer to the fishing proclamation.
Lake Powell. The Lake Powell fishing report home page is: http://www.wayneswords.com.
Lasal Mountains. Conservation Officer Joe Nicholson reports that all LaSal Mountain lakes are frozen. Ken's Lake is open, but fishing success has been slow to fair for rainbow trout.
Millsite Reservoir. Lieutenant Carl Gramlich reported that the reservoir was 30 percent open last Saturday. Shoreline anglers can now cast to the edge of the ice sheet, dropping their bait in front of hungry trout. Good fishing is expected.
Scofield Reservoir. This past weekend, fishing conditions were slow. Fishing pressure was moderate, but the trout failed to cooperate. In general, trout have been ranging between eight and 16 inches. The catch has consisted almost entirely of rainbow trout. The lake is covered by multiple layers of ice and slush, topped with snow.
Fishermen must auger down to the shank to get through the ice. As much as 200 cubic feet per second of water is being released from the dam to prepare the reservoir for spring work on the spillway.

The next item on my up-grade list is a pack.I am looking at the New Exodus with the inflatable back pad.http://www.mountainlaureldesigns.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=185Does anyone have one of these, or hiked with someone that had one.What I am most interested in, is how well the inflatable back pad preformed.I do not doubt the Quality in MLD products. Everyone that I have met withtheir gear raves about not only the gear, but the service that Ron & his crewdeliver is second to none.So, if you have some miles on this pack what did you think?
Mike, below is what I posted about mine in another thread. I have found that the inflatable backpanel works well and the pack is very comfortable. Let me know if you have any other more specific questions about it.Just wanted to update on my usage of my Exodus FS. I love this pack! Definitely fits my gear and packing style better than my SMD Traveler. I've been out with it for the past 3 weekends for day hikes of between 3 to 5 miles each. I loaded the pack with between 20 and 24 pounds each time. The inflatable back pad and small carbon rod seems to work very well. It definitely feels stiffer than my old pack while using a z-lite and stays. Maybe it's because it seems to fit closer to my back. I won't be out on another multi day trip until March but from my day hikes i can tell that this pack is going to be comfortable. If I had to change anything it would be to add an additional piece of mesh to the top of the backpanel since i did notice my back getting hot. This would be the same with any pack that uses mostly fabric instead of mesh for the backpanel though.The pack is a standard Exodus besides the carbon rods and Klymit pad. I seem to be able to find a place to attach anything that I need to and the compression system for smaller loads is remarkable. I definitely recommend this pack.AndJust wanted to put another update into this thread. Went out this weekend to Deep Creek in GSMNP for a 3 night trip. I started the trip off with around 25.5 pounds loaded into my Exodus FS and I am happy to report that it performed great! I inflated the klymit frame at the trailhead and left it alone for the rest of the trip. Pack load was definitely transferred to my hips and this weight felt very comfortable in the pack. In fact, I can't think of anything that I would change about the pack.
Thanks Heath, that is exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Anyone else?
How does it carry with loads around 30-32 lbs.?When I was on the JMT last year, on the final half of the trip there weren't any good resupply options, so we carried all of our food for the last 110 miles.This bumped us up to 30-32 lbs and required us to carry a large bear canister the whole trip.Curious to know how the Exodus FS handles these higher loads that are consider outside the normal weight range of a frameless backpack.I can tell you, using an older/lighter Jam2, I was not happy with the weight until I was back to 27-25 lbs.I would expect the Exodus FS to carry like a dream at 25lbs, but that is also within the upper range of what a frameless pack should be able to handle comfortablely.Appreciate any feedback on this pack.-Tony
I was told once, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Is that what's going on here?
I think that maybe it is more that not too many of these packs are out there yet. I can't see how anyone would dislike this pack. Maybe it just fits me so well that I am a fanatic about it :) To add some information to Tony's question, I haven't used mine with 30 pounds but I will be close to that weight when I go fly fishing in July. I will report back on what my experiences are after that. The way it feels at 25 to 26 I think that it will work fine with an extra 5 pounds but that remains to be seen. I normally do some training hikes here at Radnor Lake in Nashville before I hike so I will try to add some weight to bring it up to 30 when I do. The loop is 4.5 miles so it will give at least some info on how it carries with that weight
Edited by heathpitts on 06/03/2012 07:26:08 MDT.
Mike, I haven't had mine out with any weight close to that, but I do love this pack, carries like a dream for me, but I have yet to be over 18 lbs with it. I'll be taking a trip later in the year, Sept, with my 8 year old daughter and will be up to 26-27 lbs there, so I'll report back then. In the meantime, this is an awesome pack, pull the trigger if you're considering it, I have to believe that it'll do fine with 35 lbs, this is a real suspension.
How is the load transfer with that hipbelt? It just seems as if a taller/longer belt might transfer better. That was my hesitation at least when looking for a new pack a few months ago.
The belt is pretty substantial towards the back and seems to transfer quite a bit. It's no Granite Gear hip belt, but it works well enough for the loads I carry. The best I could offer is to throw a bunch of water in it and get it to 35 lbs and walk around the house, but that'd be an awfully limited test, and just my opinion.
Load transfer is great as far as i can tell with the weight that i have carried. That is one of the best features of it for me. I can take almost all of the weight off my shoulders if I need to. I have a 32 inch waist and the hip belt wraps around the sides of my hips well. I imagine that Ron would probably make a wider/longer hip belt if you wanted though.
Thanks for the help. If I did ever go that route, I might have Ron beef up the hipbelt. I have unusual hips (my iliac crest is an inch or so above my belly button), so the Granite Gear hipbelt is perfect for me. I really love it. But I've always admired Ron's work. I might end up going with a smaller volume pack like the Burn in a year or two, when the budget recovers.
Heath,Thanks for the feedback and I would love to get your impressions on the FS after your trip in July.I love the Exodus, which just seems like a perfected UL version of the Jam2 that I am using.However, considering that the Jam2 served me well on the JMT last year, hard for me to justify replacing it, but knowing that the FS version would carry better and give me the flexibility of removing the FS is pretty tempting to perfect all the future trips that I might take on.Again, thank you for your feedback!-Tony
I just compared the Exodus' hip belt to a Jam that I have, the padded part of the Exodus is ~3/4 inch longer than the Jam, roughly the same shape. The Exodus has quite a bit more padding than the Jam.
That's the Jam2, right?
"I was told once, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."Is that what's going on here?"I've owned an Exodus FS for about 7 months. My usual 3 season pack is an MLD Burn which I love dearly. When I needed a pack capable of handling heavier loads for packrafting and family trips, the Burn's big brother was an obvious choice. I typically refrain from posting comments or reviews about gear until I feel like I've had the opportunity to really use it for an extended period of time in a wide variety of situations. I have only used this pack on 6 trips, about 18 hiking days total. In light of your comment though, I'm happy to share my initial impressions.I used the Exodus first for early season winter trips with loads of 10-15 lbs. I used the inflatable back panel for 2 trips before deciding that it was not necessary at these weights. My gear in November/December tends to be higher volume than my regular 3 season load, but still relatively low in weight, and the hoop stay was more than adequate for a comfortable carry. I did enjoy having the pad for use at night under my feet, but this alone was not sufficient reason to continue carrying it.I really like the shape of the pack, not too tall or wide. Not surprisingly, the fit is remarkably similar to the Burn. The shoulder straps are well placed and comfortable, and the hipbelt transfers weight well. I had initially worried about this because the belt is flat and does not cup the hips like beefier hipbelts, but I ended up finding this belt style less confining.Construction is meticulous as would be expected from any MLD product. The back pocket is large enough to hold a wet duomidThe side pockets swallow a 1 liter bottle securely. With some contortion, I can fish one out while walking.Disappointingly, I found the Exodus slightly too small for my typical deep winter gear. Although my winter base weight is only 12 lb, my -20F bag is relatively bulky, making packing the exodus relatively difficult. I was able to fit the winter bag into the main body of the pack but was very concerned about the stress it put on the pack seams. I managed one deep winter trip with the Exodus, foam pad strapped to the top of the pack and duomid stowed in a one of the side pockets, before deciding that it was not worth the effort. For me, the Exodus shined for packrafting. I was able to fit the raft paddle, and all of my gear but the life vest into the main body of the pack with plenty of room to spare. Total pack weight was under 20 lb, and it carried comfortably, again without the back pad.In summary:The fit, comfort, and workmanship of the Exodus are excellent, on par with what I have come to expect from this company. I may be slightly biased, as I use a number of MLD products and have been very happy with all of them.I would prefer if the pack were larger. As it is, the pack has a very specific niche. It is way too big for my 3 season gear and too small for my light but bulky winter gear. It is perfect for my packrafting gear, but I would have been happier if it could have handled all my larger pack needs. It would probably be an ideal pack for those with closer to traditional size loads, or for its stated purpose- lighter loads with the need for carrying additional water. It would also be great for those with heavy camera gear.I'm not sure how much the back pad adds to carrying capacity. I find that the pack carries very comfortably without it, and removing it frees up a little interior space. I tend to prefer simplicity, so I'm happy to be able to ditch a component that has the potential to fail at some point, as inflatable pads occasionally will. Disclaimer: I have never carried more than 20 lb in the pack. I might feel very differently if I did.
Clayton, yes, comparing it to the Jam 2. The Exodus belt is on top, measures 8.5" from the inner stitching to the end, the Jam 2, bottom is 8". So not much difference in length, but the extra padding is significant (to me).
Excellent. That's really helpful. Thanks Art.
Thank you all!I have my total total 3 season weight down to23lbs with 1L water & 4 days food. Down from 382 years ago. I currently have a Flash 65, and it was not happy about being nearly empty on my last trip (4 days)I'm not sure I want to make the jump to a frame-less packjust yet, so this Exodus looks like the best compromise for me.My next hike will be 6 or 7 days on the AT in Georgia & NC. While I know I can resupply every 2 or 3 days, I do not want to. So for the first couple days I expect to have a total carry of right around 30lbs +/-. Sorry, if the "Say something nice" comment came off as a little snarky. I really wanted some reliable real world info,and I need some ammo when I tell my Wife that I NEEDyet another $300 for gear! Again Thank You all!
Good luck (with the trail and with the wife--I think I've about exhausted mine for the time being). Report back how it performs, will you?
I just pulled the trigger on one of these today. 12 weeks (ugh) but I'm excited to get in the queue. I have an MLD Ark that is wonderful but is too big for most of my trips now that I've got my other gear selections dialed in. Thanks to all for pushing me off the fence. I hope to be using this new pack for many seasons to come.
