A Michigan developer with an affinity for military housing projects plans to build a 360-unit apartment complex on Route 11 in the town of LeRay, in Fort Drums backyard.
To be called LeRay Place Apartments, the development is proposed on a 51-acre parcel to be purchased from owner Robert P. Gillespie about a half-mile south of Route 342 on the west side of Route 11.
Management Resources Development, East Lansing, Mich., wants to build 350 two-bedroom and 10 one-bedroom rental apartments at the site.
Those units will be spread equally among 10 three-story apartment buildings, with 36 units apiece. Also featured is a 2,031-square-foot clubhouse featuring a pool, fitness room and office space.
The developer, who has eyed the location for about two years, has submitted preliminary plans to the LeRay Planning Board to set the project in motion. Though it is eager to break ground on the project in the fall, an obstacle could delay that timeline: the parcel is a wildlife habitat for the sedge wren and Henslows sparrow, both endangered grassland birds, according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
That will mean the developer will have to conduct environmental studies in the spring before the Planning Board can approve its proposal.
A civil engineering firm based in Indiana, hired by the developer to design the project, expects to complete those studies in the next 60 days. Nathan R. Waggner, principal for Cash Waggner & Associates of Jasper, Ind., said he is optimistic the town will approve the project this summer for work to begin in the fall. The project will take about a year to complete.
We first have to do the required studies for the birds and archaeology to make sure the sites clear, but those projects are in the works, he said.
Realistically, though, the project will be pushed back by a few months because of the required environmental studies, town planner Jessica L. Jenack said.
They intend to get approvals by the fall, but timeline-wise, thats going to be hard, she said. The project hasnt even come before our Planning Board yet for review.
The construction work would be awarded to a local contractor in a competitive bidding process after the town approves the project, Mr. Waggner said. The developer doesnt plan to pursue a tax incentive for construction to make the project more affordable.
The two-bedoom apartments are expected to be occupied primarily by small military families and older military members. The developer has a track record of working with military bases and providing housing for military personnel, Mr. Waggner said. They know the market here.
The Michigan developers website, www.mrdapartments.com, shows it has completed housing projects at military bases in Alabama, Kentucky, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The company states on its website that its proud to serve our military families. Our goal is to provide comfortable, spacious, well built homes. Examples of homes are featured on the site.
A call to the developer Friday was not returned.
Though the project could be delayed by environmental studies, the property is otherwise in an ideal location from the towns perspective. The parcel is already zoned properly for the project and connected to the towns water and sewer districts.
In the late 80s, it was a subject for a bid by a developer for a (military) housing project that never got off the ground, said Steven T. Harter, the LeRay supervisors administrative clerk.

Bullies and mean girls have been around forever, but technology has given them a whole new platform for their actions. As adults, we're becoming more aware that the "sticks and stones" adage no longer holds true; both real world and online name-calling can have serious emotional consequences for our kids and teens.
It's not always easy to know how and when to step in as a parent. For starters, our kids tend to use technology differently than we do. Kids and teens today start playing games online and sending texts on their cell phones at an early age, and most teens have smart phones that keep them constantly connected to the Internet. Many are logged on to Facebook and chatting or sending text messages all day. Even sending email or leaving a voice mail seems "so old-school" to them. Their knowledge of the digital world can be intimidating, but if parents stay involved in their kids online world, just as you do in their real world, you can help protect your kids from online dangers.
Fortunately, our growing awareness of cyberbullying has helped us learn a lot more about how to prevent it. Here are some suggestions on what to do if online bullying has become part of your child's life.
Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. By definition, it occurs among young people. When an adult is involved, it may meet the definition of cyber-harassment or cyber-stalking, a crime that can have legal consequences and involve jail time.
Sometimes cyberbullying can be easy to spot — for example, if your child shows you a text message, tweet, or response to a status update on Facebook that is harsh, mean, or cruel. Other acts are less obvious, like impersonating a victim online or posting personal information, photos, or videos designed to hurt or embarrass another person. Some kids report that a fake account, web page, or online persona has been created with the sole intention to harass and bully.
Cyberbullying also can happen accidentally. The impersonal nature of text messages, IMs, and emails make it very hard to detect the sender's tone — one person's joke could be another's hurtful insult. Nevertheless, a repeated pattern of emails, text messages, and online posts is rarely accidental.
A 2006 poll from the national organization Fight Crime: Invest in Kids found that 1 in 3 teens and 1 in 6 preteens have been the victims of cyberbullying. As more and more youths have access to computers and cell phones, the incidence of cyberbullying is likely to rise.
No longer limited to schoolyards or street corners, modern-day bullying can happen at home as well as at school — essentially 24 hours a day. As long as kids have access to a phone, computer, or other device (such as an iTouch), they are at risk.
Severe or chronic cyberbullying can leave victims at greater risk for anxiety, depression, and other stress-related disorders. In some rare but highly publicized cases, some kids have turned to suicide.
The punishment for cyberbullies can include being suspended from school or kicked off of sports teams. Certain types of cyberbullying also may violate school codes or even anti-discrimination or sexual harassment laws.
Many kids and teens who are cyberbullied are reluctant to tell a teacher or parent, often because they feel ashamed of the social stigma, or because they fear their computer privileges will be taken away at home.
The signs that a child is being cyberbullied vary, but a few things to look for are:
If you discover that your child is being cyberbullied, talk to him or her about any experiences you have had in your childhood. This can help your child feel less alone. Let your child know that it's not his or her fault, and that bullying says more about the bully than the victim. Talking to teachers or school administrators also may help, but take cues from your child.
Many schools, school districts, and after-school clubs have established protocols for responding to cyberbullying; these vary by district and state. But before reporting the problem, let your child know that you plan to do so, as he or she could have concerns about "tattling" and might prefer that the problem be handled privately.
Other measures to try:
If your son or daughter agrees, you may also arrange for mediation with a therapist or counselor at school who can work with your child and/or the bully.
Finding out that your kid is the one who is behaving inappropriately can be upsetting and heartbreaking. It's important to address the problem head on and not wait for it to go away.
Talk to your child firmly about his or her actions and explain the negative impact it has on others. Joking and teasing might seem OK, but it can hurt people's feelings and lead to getting in trouble. Bullying — in any form — is unacceptable; there can be serious (and sometimes irrevocable) consequences at home, school, and in the community if it continues.
Remind your child that the use of cell phones and computers is a privilege. Sometimes it helps to restrict the use of these devices until behavior improves. If you feel your child should have a cell phone for safety reasons, make sure it is a phone that can only be used for emergency purposes. Insist on strict parental controls on all devices if there is any history of your child making impulsive decisions when they are online.
To get to the heart of the matter, sometimes talking to teachers, guidance counselors, and other school officials can help identify situations that lead a kid to bully others. If your child has trouble managing anger, talk to a therapist about helping your son or daughter learn to cope with anger, hurt, frustration, and other strong emotions in a healthy way.
Professional counseling often helps kids learn to deal with their feelings and improve their confidence and social skills, which in turn can reduce the risk of bullying. If you're tech-savvy yourself, model good online habits to help your kids understand the benefits and the dangers of life in the digital world.

The paths of billiard balls on a table can be long and complicated. To understand them mathematicians use a beautiful trick, turning tables into surfaces.
Physicists love symmetry, but they get even more excited about symmetry breaking. They even believe that many of the features of the world we live in are a result of it. What do they mean by that?
Mathematics is incredibly good at describing the world we live in. So much so that some people have argued that maths is not just a tool for describing the world, but that the world is itself a mathematical structure. Does his claim stand up to scrutiny?
Imagine a circle with radius 1 cm rolling completely along the circumference of a circle with radius 4 cm. How many rotations did the smaller circle make? Be prepared for a surprise!
We might have found the Higgs boson, but the search for new physics at the LHC isn't over yet.
If you thought that billiards was a harmless game to play in the pub, think again. It's a breeding ground for chaos!

Rosiglitazone and Exercise Training: Effects on HIV-Infected People With Insulin Resistance, Hypertriglyceridemia, and Adipose Tissue Maldistribution
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Several complications have become prevalent in people living with HIV/AIDS, including increased blood sugar, increased blood fats and cholesterol, and fat tissue redistribution. The causes of these complications are not well understood and effective treatments have not been identified. We propose to test the efficacy and safety of 2 treatments for these complications in people living with HIV/AIDS: aerobic, weight lifting exercise training, and a new insulin-sensitizing agent called rosiglitazone (Avandia). Exercise and rosiglitazone have been effective and moderately safe when used in HIV-seronegative people with diabetes, but a specific trial is needed to test efficacy and safety in people living with HIV/AIDS.

Insulin Resistance
Drug: rosiglitazone (Avandia)
Behavioral: Aerobic and weight lifting exercise training
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Rosiglitazone and Exercise Training: Effects on HIV-Infected People With Insulin Resistance, Hypertriglyceridemia, and Adipose Tissue Maldistribution
We propose a 12wk controlled, randomized trial that compares the effects of rosiglitazone therapy, exercise training and combined rosiglitazone and exercise training. We hypothesize that rosiglitazone will lower blood sugar, insulin, blood fats, muscle and liver lipid content and composition in HIV-infected people. Exercise training will induce the same benefits, but will also reduce abdominal fat mass. We hypothesize that combining exercise training with rosiglitazone therapy will be most effective at reducing blood sugar, insulin, lipids, muscle and liver lipid contents, and restoring body fat distribution than either intervention alone. At baseline and after 12 wk of treatment we will measure: the ability of insulin to promote the clearance of sugar from the blood, the clearance rate of blood sugar, the rate of glucose production by the liver, blood fat and cholesterol concentrations, body fat content and fat distribution in the arms, legs, trunk regions, muscle and liver lipid content and composition.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 65 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
The research volunteers will consist of HIV-infected men and women treated with PI-based HAART who have developed insulin resistance of impaired glucose homeostasis:
- fasting (8h) plasma glucose 110-126 mg/dL (6.1-7.1 mM) OR
- plasma glucose >140 (7.8 mM) 2 hours after a 75g-oral glucose load.
Although not required for enrollment, many of these volunteers will also have developed trunk adipose tissue redistribution (defined as): trunk/appendicular adipose ratio using whole-body DEXA >1.1 (men), >0.9 (women), or visceral adipose/total abdominal adipose tissue (VAT/TAT) >0.40 using 1H-MRI imaging at the level of the umbilicus (~L3-L4 inter-vertebral space). Many will also have developed fasting hypertriglyceridemia (>300mg/dL, >3.4 mM).
- Plasma viremia (Roche Amplicor assay) <5000 copies/ml OR a CD4 T-cell county >= 200 cells/ul for at least 3 months prior to enrollment.
- Stable on a PI-containing HAART regimen for at least 3 months prior to enrollment.
- 18-65 years of age
- Body mass index <= 34kg/m*2, total body fat <=35% of weight

Pack eliminated at NCAAs
South Dakota State wrestler Cody Pack was eliminated 3-0 in his wrestleback match on Thursday night in Des Moines, Iowa.
Pack finished the NCAA Championships 0-2 in the 157-pound weight class.
In Pack's first-round match he wrestled the No. 12 seed Moore. Moore opened the scoring with a takedown midway through the first period and rode out the remaining 1:44. Pack started the second period on top and cut the riding time advantage by one minute and 42 seconds, but allowed an escape with 18 seconds remaining. The two started the third period neutral with Pack trailing 3-0. Moore scored an early takedown in the third period and rode out the remainder of the match.
In the first round of the consolation bracket, Cody Pack wrestled Tommy Churchard (Purdue). Churchard scored a takedown near the end of the second minute and rode out the remainder of the first period. Pack started the second on top, but Churchard escaped midway through the period. The two tangled multiple times over the last minute, but only managed two stalemates. Pack entered the third period with a 3-0 deficit. The two started neutral in the third, but neither wrestler found the scoreboard.
The loss eliminated Pack, who qualified with his runner-up finish at the West Regional.
157 - Jedd Moore (Virginia) decision Cody Pack, 6-0
Wrestleback - Tommy Churchard (Purdue) decision Cody Pack, 3-0

Describe the general atmosphere of your home.
Quiet, relaxed, comfortable.
What is your favorite room?
The living room. It's bright, has a great view and lots of my favorite things are there. Some people from DOCOMOMO – the International Committee for the Documentation, Conservation of Buildings, Sites & Neighborhoods of the Modernist Movement Russia – came to visit my house, walked in the living room and said "the modernist dream – large windows looking onto green." You can't say better than that.
What do you feel is the most important aspect of a living space?
Space, which unfortunately is hard to come by and expensive in London; peace, which is also hard to come by in London; and a good view.
Any prized pieces of furniture or art?
Furniture: Original 1950s George Nelson bench, Noguchi Cyclone table and a set of four Herman Millar Eames fiberglass shell chairs – the first furniture I ever bought 15 years ago.
Art: Set of Totems by Ettorre Sotsass, Chris Ofilli watercolor – I swapped him for a pair of shoes, many years ago – and I just bought a Richard Hamilton screenprint which I've wanted for a longtime. It's being framed.
Do you like to entertain in your space?
Yes, we have friends for either dinner or lunch every week. My wife is a great cook and I can fill glasses pretty well. I have been known to bring a few people back for a "mini-disco" on occasion, but I hate the mess in the morning, especially vinyl records not back in the correct sleeves.
Do you cook in your kitchen?
Yes, almost every day.
How do you manage your storage requirements?
I've constantly downsized over the years. I collected more stuff when I lived in rented accommodation. I think your attitude and priorities change when you have your own place. I bought my first place in London 15 years ago. I have a few archived things; magazines, clothes, ephemera at the office now. My flat comes with an external pram shed where I can keep my bike, my tool box and a few other things there's no room for in the house.
Do you find scent an important aspect of a home?
That's more my wife's department, she's into oil burners. I have some beautiful Scandinavian modernist ceramic ones, but the one that works best is the ceramic one from Manufactum, or an electric one.

Read: An Update On Brady Skjei
In The Hockey News (12/17/12 issue), they look at Brady Skjei and write "His M.O. is his mobility and ability to move the puck up ice quickly, but the transition to the Gophers has been rough for Skjei, who had just two points in 10 games. The offensive upside is there, but the Rangers would love for him to find a mean streak to complement his 6-3 200lb body.
Earlier in the year, Leslie Treff ranked Skjei the Rangers 5th best prospect at Hockey's Future and Corey Pronman ranked Skjei 4th at Puck Prospectus. Pronman says that Skjei is an "elite skater who is remarkable to watch" He adds that, similar to what The Hockey News wrote, Skjei isn't really a physical player and he can be tougher on checks.
READ MORE about Brady Skjei including updates on how he has done so far at Minnesota.
Drew Claussen of the Minnesota Daily, the newspaper on the University of Minnesota Campus, says that Skjei has been solid but has a lot of room for improvement, esperically when it comes to being a consistent two-way defender.
He writes, "he's had an ok freshman season so far, not stellar by any means. I'd say there has been times where you don't notice him in games, which for a freshman defender isn't terrible because it means he's not getting blown by a lot. He did sit out a game about a month ago because of an unspecified injury but seemed to bounce back from that just fine. Recently Skjei has spent the majority of his time on the top defensive line with Nate Schmidt, who I believe to be the team's best D-man, so that should help his progression."
He has one goal and one assist in 14 games with 8 shots on goal.
Julie Robenhymer writes that Skjei will be battling for one of the final spots on D for Team USA.
Chris Peters writes that Skjei has all the tools to play for Team USA but may not have enough seasoning and experience to make the team. Peters adds "He's good defensively, has great size and strength and can contribute just enough offensively."
At Blueshirts United , Gordie Clark said that he was impressed with the game that Skjei has and that as an 18 year old he is playing a very strong game.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
The Carbon cross country team headed to the state meet last weekend and were well represented, with the girls finishing in ninth place and the boys finishing in 11th.
Flu seemed to be hitting the team just as they were poised to have one of their best runs at state, but despite several boys and girls from the Dino squad feeling under the weather, they all gave what they had.
"Our strong solid five on on both sides were not so strong," explained Coach Allen. "We had kids sick on both sides, however, we still ran tough."
Individually for the girl's race, Regan Powell took 14th overall. Powell started in the top 20 and continued to move up. She beat her last year's time by nearly a minute with a 20:20. Rachel Goodrich was second for Carbon, finishing in 25th, in 21:04.The times of these two girls were what carried the Lady Dinos to a 9th place team finish overall.
Kristen Jewkes came in third for Carbon in a time of 22:55. Karissa Nelson, Diana Olsen and Sierra Williams wrapped up the runners for Carbon girls team for the day.
Coach Telisse Allen felt like all the girl's really accomplished a lot to earn their shot at state, but she wanted to give credit to the two top finishers for the Lady Dinos, Powell and Goodrich, who's excellent times helped keep the team in the top ten.
For the boys squad Allen added that it was the Dino third and fourth runners that really struggled at the meet. The top finishers for Carbon were Garrett Marsing in 22nd with a time of 17:24, Cody Hunt finished 34th in 17:43. Justin Hepworth was third for Carbon in a time of 18:29. Both Hunt and Hepworth beat their last year's times. Austin Pullan ended in fourth for Carbon and Stefan Larsen stepped up into fifth scorer for Carbon. Kaleb Kulow and Carson Tatton displaced for us and Carson ran a new personal best for the state course.

Financial jargon can make the process of getting one's finances in order and making smart economic decisions a bit of a challenge. To the average person, figuring out terminology can be a stumbling block and a hassle some want to avoid.
However, it's important to know some of the lingo associated with financial planning to ensure money is being saved and spent in a responsible way.
*401(k): In the United States, a retirement plan where money is diverted into an account and then invested. Current income tax is deferred until the money is withdrawn upon maturity.
*Amortization schedule: A comprehensive schedule of payments determining the breakdown of the mortgage amount, interest, principle received, and balance due through each period of the loan until the loan balance reaches zero.
*Annuity: A stream of fixed payments that is generally paid as part of a life insurance policy or retirement fund.
*Appraisal: An estimated value of property used most often in real estate transactions.
*Bankruptcy: A legally declared inability of an individual or organization to pay their creditors.
*Dividend: A portion of a company's profit paid to common and preferred shareholders. The dividend is paid in a fixed amount for each share of stock held, whether in cash or more stock.
*Hedge fund: An aggressive investment fund generally open to a limited number of investors.
*Interest: Fees paid on borrowed assets.
*IRA: Individual Retirement Accounts were initially set up in 1974 to provide a retirement option for individuals who were not covered by an employer-sponsored plan. Eventually it was opened up so anyone under the age of 70 could donate up to a certain amount of income a year.
*Liquidity: The ability to turn assets into cash without losing a lot of value.
*Longevity risk: The risk a pension fund or life insurance company takes on when offering its plans, due to the increasing life expectancy rate.
*Pension: A deferred compensation scenario by where an employer pays an employee a portion of income based upon length of service and employee age. Some pensions can be contributed to by the employee himself, with the employer matching the contribution.
*Portfolio: Collection of stocks, bonds and money market instruments owned by an individual or company.
*Prime Rate: A term applied in many countries to a reference interest rate used by banks.
*Principal: The original amount of debt on which interest is calculated.
*Rollover: This term is used for moving a retirement plan into a different one, generally when leaving a job. Usually there is a set time period in which the rollover must occur so that a penalty isn't issue.

When: Saturday, November 10th, 7:00 p.m.
Opponent: @ Buffalo (15-11-2)
UPDATE: Biron will indeed start tonight for New York. (1:24 p.m.)
EARLIER: The last time New York lost two games in a row came at the
end of a seven-game winning streak and the Rangers responded by peeling off
five consecutive victories.
The team will be hoping to begin a similar streak Saturday
evening in Buffalo after losses this week to Toronto and Tampa Bay.
The visit to the Sabres will be the first game of a tricky
back-to-back that will also include a home match Sunday evening against the
surprising Florida Panthers.
Like the Rangers, the Sabres were expected to be one of the
big movers in the Eastern Conference after a summer in which the team made big
additions including free agent signings Christian Ehrhoff and Ville Leino.
But Buffalo hasn't gotten off to quite the same roaring
start as New York, partially due to Milan Lucic's controversial hit on Ryan
Miller that kept the stud netminder out of action for nine games.
Miller is back in action but the Sabres have lost six of their
last nine (to be fair, Buffalo dropped games to tough opponents including
Boston, Detroit and Philadelphia during that stretch).
The Sabres have been particularly disappointing on home ice
where they are just 7-8-2, a problem the Rangers were all too familiar with
over the last two seasons. Prior to
Friday's overtime win against Florida Buffalo had lost three consecutive games
at the First Niagara Center.
Come March though, it's highly likely that the Rangers and
Sabres will be grappling with each other for a higher playoff seeding.
New York has enjoyed a tremendous start this season, but is
facing a new period of adversity without defenseman Mike Sauer.
The Blueshirts have received strong play from their
shorthanded defense all season, but if the team is to return to the win column
with regularity it will need for some slow starters to begin contributing.
Forward Brandon Dubinsky in particular must get going. The 25-year-old has just one goal in 25 games
after signing a four-year, $16.8 million contract this summer.
His poor offensive start has been masked by the team's
success as a whole, but with other forwards having stepped up all year it's
time that the Alaska-native does his part to help boost the overmatched
It's likely that Martin Biron will make his sixth start of
the season in Buffalo as the fifth-place Rangers look to bounce back from one
of the few hiccups they've experienced thus far.
- Andrew Gross reports that Mike Rupp hopes to
begin contacting drills next week after resting this weekend.
- Artem Anisimov apologized
to Tampa Bay for his excessive goal celebration during Thursday's bout.

Johan Santana to throw next on Sunday
Johan Santana will throw his next bullpen session on Sunday, according to SNY's Matt Dunn.
Santana threw 32 pitches today after throwing 29 pitches yesterday. According to Dunn, Santana said he felt "really good," as he again threw all of his pitches and was able to increase the intensity in his final six pitches.
While he has had positive progress so far, Santana said he is still building up his strength and still has a long way to go.
Santana also said he is pleased with where he is physically right now; he's had consistency in each of his bullpen sessions; and he his finding his release point right now, but is doing things like he does during the regular season.
Earlier this afternoon, Terry Collins told reporters Santana would throw again on Saturday.

POTSDAM- Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis is calling for an independent investigation of the Potsdam Police Department after discovering an officer failed to report a property damage accident he was involved in for nearly 18 months.
Mr. Yurgartis said he received a complaint from Potsdam resident Gerald Jenks Jr. on Friday about an incident which took place in the fall of 2010. Sgt Michael Ames was at a party held by Mr. Jenks, backed into another car as he was leaving and failed to report it, Mr. Yurgartis said.
Mr. Ames filed a report earlier this spring in which he admitted to the accident after he was confronted with the issue, Mr. Yurgartis said.
The most troubling part to me is that the officer did have a property damage accident, failed to report it and eventually felt compelled to report it, Mr. Yurgartis said. I was very disappointed the police department tried to handle this very serious issue internally without notifying the village administrator or the mayor.
There was no public reporting of this, he said.
Mr. Yurgartis said he did not yet know why the department handled the situation the way it did. Mr. Jenks complaint on Friday was the first he was hearing of the incident. He is calling for an investigation because he feels the department handled the situation inappropriately.
Ive asked for an explanation and its not clear to me, he said.
Mr. Yurgartis pointed out the village police arrested Mr. Jenks in February. Police charged him driving while intoxicated and speeding 64 miles per hour in a 30 mile per hour zone on Leroy Street. At the time, Mr. Jenks refused to take a Breathalyzer test.
Mr. Ames was the sergeant on duty the night of his arrest, Mr. Yurgartis said. Since his arrest, Mr. Jenks allegedly sent threatening messages to the police department, Mr. Yurgartis said.
Its a mess, Mr. Yurgartis said. We have someone whos very unhappy with the police department making accusations.
Mr. Jenks said his complaint was not related to the DWI charge.
Its not really about me, he said.
Mr. Jenks said he used to be friends with Mr. Ames but had since had a falling out. He did not initially know who crashed into the car at his party, but an eyewitness came forward earlier this spring which led Mr. Ames filing the accident report, he said.
The department never sanctioned Mr. Ames for the October 2010 accident, he said.
Its hypocritical hes out giving tickets and giving arrests, Mr. Jenks said. The police department has had plenty of time to do something about it.
Hes out walking scot-free from something intentional that he did, Mr. Jenks said.
Chief Kevin Bates and Mr. Ames could not be reached for comment.
The village Board of Trustees will hold a special meeting at 9 a.m. Wednesday, where they will discuss hiring for an existing vacancy in the department. The board will then hold an executive session to discuss the performance of a particular employee. Mr. Yurgartis said the executive session and the complaint against the police department were unrelated.

Arizona's controversial new immigration law is set to go into effect this Thursday. In short, the law requires that police officers determine the immigration status of individuals who are stopped, detained, or arrested when there is reasonable suspicion that they are in the country illegally. The law also makes it a misdemeanor for legal immigrants to not carry immigration papers. Fearing possible harassment by police and wrongful detention, many legal and illegal immigrants have fled the state since the announcement of the impending law. How might dwindling numbers of immigrants in Arizona impact immigrant relations in the state?
Research in the behavioral sciences has repeatedly shown that to achieve peace between conflicting groups, intergroup contact is necessary. Without frequent intergroup contact, unfounded prejudices often form about members of stigmatized groups. Based on this research, we might expect that fewer immigrants in Arizona will provide fewer opportunities for contact between immigrants and natural born citizens, and consequently, more unfounded prejudices about immigrants. Indeed, research by Ulrich Wagner and colleagues (2008) provides evidence for this prediction. They looked at how the proportion of ethnic minorities in a region affects opportunities for intergroup contact, and how frequency of intergroup contact affects prejudice. Using East and West German samples, they found that lower levels of prejudice in West Germany could be explained by the larger numbers of ethnic minorities in the region, which allowed for increased intergroup contact.
Will Arizona's new law be effective in its primary purpose of driving out illegal immigrants? It probably already has, but not without costs for immigrant relations in the state as legal and illegal immigrants flee the region.

POTSDAM Clarkson University job-seekers will have a better chance than ever of making a connection Thursday as a record number of employers attend the colleges annual fall career fair.
They come mostly from the Northeast, but some travel all the way from California, 155 companies with positions to fill.
The number of companies in attendance has increased steadily for the last few years, boding well for the recovery of the job market, Clarkson Career Center Director Jeffrey D. Taylor said.
This year weve exceeded even our own expectations, he said.
The fair is open only to Clarkson students and alumni. Every employer, from Walmart to Lockheed Martin, will have applications available and a need for new recruits.
Career fairs provide a rare chance for job-seekers to get face-to-face with employers before their application has been reviewed, according to Mr. Taylor. Some students will seek internships, while others will be in the market for full-time jobs.
In todays job market, its often hard to reach employers prior to an interview because of online job applications, he said.
Its too early for detailed predictions about next years job market, but anecdotal evidence suggests things are looking good for students, Mr. Taylor said.
What were hearing from employers is that companies are having a greater need for succession planning, he said.
The high employer attendance is an early indicator of good prospects for graduates.
Its a very positive trend to see at this point during the year, Mr. Taylor said.
Clarkson also will host virtual career fairs, site visits with employers, career panels and guest speakers throughout the year to provide more ways for students to get in touch with their potential future bosses.

An animal rights activist organization says it has found evidence of animal cruelty at a Maine lobster-processing facility, and it's asking for a criminal investigation. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, released a video which it says was secretly filmed by an undercover worker at Linda Bean's Maine Lobster processing plant in Rockland. Tom Porter has more.
Dan Paden is an evidence analysis manager with PETA. He says the organization sent an investigator with a hidden camera to work at the plant earlier this year. The four-minute video clip (above) shows workers pulling apart the limbs of lobsters and crabs that are still alive. It also shows a pile of lobsters wriggling in a crate after their shells and limbs have been removed.
"The crustaceans slaughtered at Linda Bean's are sensible to pain," Paden says. "The lobsters' legs are torn off and their bodies are ripped from their heads and their shells."
Paden (left) says PETA will ask the Rockland Police Department and the Knox County District Attorney's office to investigate whether this method of killing violates Maine's animal cruelty statute. "Maine law prohibits intentionally mutilating any animal - and animal is defined in a way that includes crustaceans."
Maine law also requires animals to be killed instanteously, something Paden says is not happening in this case. "The animals clearly survive those mutilations, they writhe in agony for minutes," he says. "And we will be asking officials to investigate this horrific cruelty and, if they deem appropriate, file cruelty charges."
PETA suggests that there are other, more humane, methods of killing crustaceans that Linda Bean could use - either by electrically stunning them or subjecting them to extreme water pressure.
Maine's lobster industry has reacted strongly to PETA's actions. Maine Marine Resources Commissioner Patrick Keliher put out a statement describing the group's actions as "another disingenuous attempt to advance their agenda and negatively impact Maine's most important coastal industry." Keliher says activities shown in the video are consistent with state and federal regulations.
Patrice McCarron is executive director of the Maine Lobsterman's Association. She describes the PETA video as an extravagant publicity stunt designed to raise money for the group's extremist agenda.
"It is very important for people to know the Maine lobster industry takes great pride in what we do," she says. "We are very highly regulated in numerous areas, from conservation to quality practices to food safety, and we stand by the practices that we follow."
Central to PETA's argument is the assertion that lobsters feel pain and distress. The group says there's scientific opinion behind this claim. An example is a report by a panel of the European Food Safety Authority of the European Commission.
The report concludes that that decapod crustaceans "have a pain system and considerable learning ability."
Other scientists maintain that lobsters are unable to process pain like other creatures do because they have no brain. On its Web site, the University of Maine's Lobster Institute describes the nervous system of a lobster as very primitive, comparable to that of a insect.
Diane Cowan is executive director and senior scientist at the Lobster Conservancy of Maine. "Lobsters don't have a centralized nervous system like us," she says. Cowan says they do have sensory receptors and are able to feel things, but their response to pain and injury is completely different from ours.
"If a lobster loses a claw, loses an eye, loses any part, they have a response where the blood flow and the nervous system, the firing of the nerve cells, stops abruptly," Cowan says. "They don't keep sending pain signals out when they're injured, they stop them. And then they regenerate their missing part."
Linda Bean of Linda Bean's Maine Lobster did not respond to a request for comment for this story by airtime.

My pisces cats are very low-key...
aww! this is so cute,my cats are pisces and libra :D
Everyday is a good day! Thanks for sharing.
The house is always important because that is the area in which the planet or the aspect or the sign emanates influence.
One could study astrology for a lifetime and still not comprehend all the nuances. And what a waste!
I delight in intricacies and big words ROFLOL
Even though I know better!
Unleash the ego and play with intellectuals. Never let them know I never graduated high school. Got me a GED. though.
Ah, the subtle lures of narcissism!
ZEE! knock it off.
I was able to help many people through analyzing their natal chart. It always showed me the predominant problem in their life and also presented the solution.
However, I could not get prognostic charts to work. It interested me how the most famous of the astrologers, following a major event, would "whine", why didn't I see that? Well, I couldn't see that either.
Could be because many experts claim the charts are off about two signs. But, still the natal (birth) charts could be accurately interpreted to the person's life!!!!
Many and many the mystery of secret things as if the powers that be would measure out, degree by degree, enough to titilate but never to satisfy.
In the past, I've done a great deal of work with astrology. But it is only a tool. It is as useful as you use it. Just a tool.
And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and tokens (of God's provident care) and (to mark) seasons, days and years. Amplified version
These are energies and influences, not rulers of life.
lol My cat is a Pisces like her momma! I love this xD
hahaha. my cat is a pisces. the fish sign

This past weekend marked the end of the 2012 National Ultra Endurance series with the final race taking place in Dahlonega, Georgia. The series finals were fought out on the tough Fools Gold 100 course, and it was set to be an exciting race with Jeremiah Bishop and Christian Tanguy tied for first overall in the series.
Bishop took home the win on his Flash 29 in 6 hours 42 minutes, and sealed up the overall victory. Tanguy crossed the line 14 minutes later in 3rd after a hard fought race.
"Its was a relief to cross the finish line in first today! I had no room for error since Christian Tanguy and I were tie coming into Fools Gold 100" said Bishop after the race.
The race wasn't without it's share of drama as Jeremiah broke his chain during the closing miles of the race while in the lead. Luckily he was able to repair it and get back underway before any riders passed him. "I was on the side of the trail trying to be calm imagining how I might lose the whole series when Christian passes me! My hands where shaking and luckily I was able to mend the chain with my Sram quick link in a couple minutes and took off like a shot."
Bishop chose to race his Flash 29 carbon hardtail in all of the NUE series raced this year. "I was really happy with using the flash for most of the NUE 100 races it was the first time a Hardtail has won the series in several years. With the Save carbon stays and seat post I can use the Flash but not get as beat up. The 29r allows me to attack the climbs with no compromise."
Next up Bishop takes on the Pisgah Stage race while Alex Grant races the Marathon National Championships in Bend, Oregon.

Whether it's building and stocking classrooms with building supplies like we have done in Nicaragua, or providing sessions for parents in Burkina Faso on Learning Through Play (LTP), which uses easy to follow picture books, to equip parents who may nto be able to read to encourage the early development of their children, we're helping young children get off to the best start possible.

Strong Community Organizations means communities will have a strong structure so that children and families continue to thrive after we leave. In India, even children and youth are participating in a youth government to learn how democracy works, what their rights are, what their role is, and how they can shape the political future of their beloved country.

Safe drinking water, adequate sanitation, and proper hygiene mean less disease and sickness and more time for school, work, and caring for children. In some communities in Ghana, children no longer have to drink smelly and bacteria-infested water because we're providing resources to dig boreholes, and have helped build wells so more people have access to safe drinking water.

Small loans and basic skills training give adults the chance to earn a decent income so they can adequately provide for their children. In Paraguay, mothers have the opportunity to take classes in pastry making or esthetics (both are high in demand), start a small business, and earn a regular income to support their children.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Ovarian Cancer Screening
CA125 tumor marker, Transvaginal Ultrasound, Health Status Questionnaires
Other: Laboratory Tumor Marker Analysis
Performed every 6 months, these blood samples will be drawn to measure the concentration of CA125 tumor marker. Remaining samples will be stored in a specimen repository for use in future research for ovarian and breast cancer tumor markers.Other: Transvaginal Ultrasound
Performed annually, these pelvic ultrasounds will be used used to look for 1) enlargement of one or both ovaries or 2) suspicious or indeterminate morphometric parameters, determined by the presence of intracystic papillations, and/or mural nodularity.Other: Health Status Questionnaire
Performed every 6 months, these questionnaires will ask about your health and medical history, environmental exposures, and family history.
Detailed Description:
The program will offer twice yearly CA-125 blood tests and annual transvaginal ultrasounds to monitor women at high risk for ovarian cancer. In addition to the main purpose of providing ovarian cancer screening, the researchers would also like to build a repository of blood specimens for use in ovarian and breast cancer research and to offer genetics counseling sessions to help educate women about risk-reducing options.

FAQs about tornadoes in Oregon
Do tornadoes happen in Oregon?
Has a tornado ever killed someone in Oregon?
What should I do in the event of a tornado?
Where can tornadoes happen in Oregon?
What kind of damage can tornadoes do?
Can weather forecasters predict tornadoes?
A tornado is a rapidly rotating vortex or funnel of air extending groundward from a cumulonimbus cloud. Tornadoes have been known to lift and move huge objects, destroy and move whole buildings long distances, and siphon large volumes from bodies of water.
Tornadoes occur in spring when warm, moist air collides with cold air resulting in winds rotating at very high speeds in a counter clockwise direction. Approximately 1,000 tornadoes are spawned by thunderstorms each year nationwide.
Do tornadoes happen in Oregon?
Tornado events are rare in Oregon. Between 1950 and 1995, there were 50 tornadoes recorded, most rated F0 (light damage) or F1 (moderate damage) on the Fujita scale. The Fujita scale assigns numerical values based on wind speeds and categorizes tornadoes from 0 to 5.
Has a tornado ever killed someone in Oregon?
There is no record of death or injury due to a tornado in Oregon.
What should I do in the event of a tornado?
Take cover immediately.
Move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building.
Avoid windows.
If in a mobile home, a vehicle or outdoors, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris.
Where can tornadoes happen in Oregon?
Tornadoes can basically strike anywhere. However they tend to follow the path of least resistance. People living in valleys, which normally are the most highly developed areas, have the greatest exposure.
What kind of damage can tornadoes do?
Big tornadoes can lift and move very heavy objects for a long distance. Tornadoes can generate a tremendous amount of debris, which can become airborne shrapnel causing additional damage. Tornadoes are almost always accompanied by heavy precipitations.
Other hazards that accompany weather systems that produce tornadoes include rainstorms, windstorms, large hail, and lightning.
Can weather forecasters predict tornadoes?
The National Weather Service evaluates each major tornado to determine the accuracy of its predictions and identifications based on weather data obtained from radar and other sources, local tornado spotters, emergency operations personnel, law enforcement agencies, and the general public. The NWS goal is to improve its ability to warn affected populations.

- EXTREME MESH - With a wide aperture mesh construction, EXTREME MESH promises to deliver maximum airflow to the athlete. Engineered from a polyester yarn for optimal breathability and moisture management.
How should my 2XU Cycle garments fit?
Your 2XU Cycle tops should fit loosely whilst standing upright in order to facilitate a snug, comfortable fit when stretched out or in the crouched position on the bike. Having said this, your jersey should never 'cut in' uncomfortably to the body. If this is occurring, you should review your size choice.
To achieve optimal aerodynamics through the air, Shorts and Bibs should be neat against the skin with no excess fabric.
For upper body Jerseys, a streamlined fit is ideal; however a free range of movement in the shoulders is essential, as is comfort in the underarms.
A little extra space between you and the garment will also promote breathability and ventilation.
For specific sizing, please refer to our Size Chart below. You will also find some helpful fit-related information in the FAQ section of the website.
Sensor Mesh technology utilises 4 unique fabrics; Sensor Mesh X, Sensor Mesh, Extreme Mesh and 3D Thermal. Each fabric contains these unique product enhancing features:

Preliminary first-quarter GDP numbers were released last week, and they were mighty ugly.
The U.S. economy growing at just a 0.1% rate. Not only is that disappointing on its face, it's also a big shortfall from most estimates of about 1.1% GDP growth for the first quarter.
But, so what? There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic now.
The major stock market indexes are up against fresh highs. And while it's easy to latch onto this one report and ignore the very real impact of poor weather in January and February, it doesn't tell the whole story.
Berkshire Shareholder Ponders Life After Buffett
What will happen to Berkshire Hathaway once Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger are gone? This was on the mind of shareholder Tom Russo at this year's annual shareholders meeting. As the meeting concluded, he was feeling hopeful.
The fact is that the U.S. economy is a heck of a lot stronger than some investors and pundits think it is. While a lot of the numbers that have come out lately haven't set the world on fire, the bottom line is that they all add up to the same story of a stable and strengthening U.S. economy.
Skeptical? Well, here are nine big reasons to be bullish on America in 2014:
We have to start here, because Friday's jobs report was huge. U.S. employment growth trounced expectations, with 288,000 jobs added in April, for the biggest tally in two years. Furthermore, the growth has pushed the headline unemployment rate to just 6.3%, its lowest reading since September 2008. The official Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers validate data from private payroll firm ADP, which said payrolls surged in April to "well above the 12-month average," and paints a very strong job picture for the rest of the year.
Consumer spending
Just as many (correctly) predicted that poor weather impacted hiring early in 2014 and that we would see a rebound, many think snow also delayed spending to start the year. Well, for those hoping for a snapback thanks to pent-up demand, they got one in March with the biggest jump in consumer spending since August 2009. The details were also encouraging because incomes rose 0.5%, too, for the biggest pop in this metric since August of 2013.
Durable goods
Durable goods are an important subset of consumer spending, since big-ticket items are often the first to feel the pinch when times get tough. Recently, we saw strong numbers that marked the best April for vehicle sales since 2005. More broadly, at the end of April, we saw overall U.S. durable goods jump 2.6% — building on the 2.1% rise from February and showing business-investment plans increased at the fasted pace in four months.
Consumer sentiment
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan sentiment survey for April tallied the highest reading since July 2013, a nine-month high. This may seem obvious, or repetitious, given the previous two items, but it's hard to understate the importance of consumer spending right now as an engine of domestic economic growth.

Nice Wig
By Janet
from Rice Lake WI
About Me Budget Buyer
Comments about Adelaide Wig by Paula Young®:
This is one of the PY I have purchased recently and this one is my favorite. It has curl, comfort and I enjoy wearing it. The only "CONS" is that the LARGE size is way smaller than my other LARGE wigs from PY. The color is right, light weight so it isn't hot, and my daughter told me that this one looks better than my own hair, even when it is fixed! That is a great compliment from her. I will purchase another one.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I really like this one. Looks natural.
By Sandi Dee
from NH
I had ordered two other wigs before this one. They had too much hair and I ordered the wrong color. This one is perfect.

Surpasses all my expectations!
By Misty
from Texas
Adelaide is a wonderful wig for style, color, fit, care and comfort. I love it. It is much more my color than I had thought that it might be. My husband can't believe how natural it looks and feels. The only thing we could see that is different than the way it was represented is that it doesn't seem to be as long as it looks to be in the picture. For me, that is ok as it looks so much like my usual choice of styles for my real hair. I couldn't be more pleased. My family hasn't even noticed that it isn't my hair!

I wold buy this product again and again
By The Golfwidow
from New Hampshire
I have purchased at least 4 of the Adelaide styled wigs and wear one every day. I usually have to have them trimmed and styled by my hairdresser. Some were more difficult to style because of the way the curls have been set in the wig. One I had to return because the color was not consistent with the others that I had bought.But in general- I do love the style and color of this wig. It is my favorite one. And it is easy to clean and maintain. I have had many compliments when I wear this wig.

Looks for real
By Elaine
from Fresno, CA
Had I known the colors could have been mixed, as the small catalog enclosed with the order indicates, I would have mixed the 60A with 101. But there was no indication that such was available. Several of the models had such mixed wigs; 56/60A was another. But it is really a perfect fit as my hair is almost snow white and gradually growing back, although thin, so will wear the Adelaide when I want to look my very best.

I love this Wig
By Kittymama
from Rockledge, Florida
I have had more people ask me where I get my hair done. They have no idea it is not real............
Easy to wear. Always looks nice.
By Sunshine
from Spokane Valley, Washington
I am handicapped and had to cut my hair very short as I can't get out to a salon anymore. Have two wigs and they are great and I always look and feel good. Wish there were more wigs in Large sizes, especially the new midnight snow color.
