(KSL) Those who have ever waited a long and painful time for broken ribs to heal will remember the drill well.
The patient, injured in a fall or an accident, comes into the emergency room with several broken ribs. The doctor evaluates the images of the fractures, making sure there's no additional damage. He prescribes pain medication and rest and tells the patient (even though it hurts) to avoid restricting the mechanics of breathing, which keeps the lungs from collapsing.
This recipe for repair is what Ken Manzanares was facing after the horse he was riding slipped out from under him on a slippery canyon trail. He slammed against an embankment, breaking five ribs. Trauma surgeon Don Van Borum at the Intermountain Medical Center showed Manzanares the X-ray.
"They were displaced in such a way that I risked losing my breathing capacity," Manzanares said. "And the mending," he added, "may not be what I wanted."
Allowing displaced bones to heal on their own is not only uncomfortable but often risky. Some patients never fully recover, while others become addicted to the pain medications. Many require a breathing machine for two weeks or longer.
"This seems crazy that people will still go through this when there's an alternative to getting someone off the breathing machine and out of the hospital sooner," Dr. Van Borum says.
Manzanares opted for the alternative: a new approach called "rib plating." Through small incisions at the break sites, Dr. Van Borum spanned the broken ribs with tailor made titanium plates, holding them in place with locking screws.
While the technology is similar to mending legs or arms, the novel rib plates mimic the ribs. They move while you breathe, but hold firm at the site of the break.

Mets, don't botch this… please?
The Mets prefer to sign R.A. Dickey and David Wright to new contracts this winter, Mets COO Jeff Wilpon said after serving hot meals yesterday with Matt Harvey to Far Rockaway residents affected by Hurricane Sandy.
However, Wilpon added:
"The second preference is probably to keep them and have them play out the season. The third preference would be to trade them. … They're both very important to the franchise and they're both fan favorites and we would like to keep it that way. We're dealing in hypothetical now, so I don't want to go there. In terms of right now, the process is ongoing, and we want to get something done. … They're both under contract. We have all the flexibility in the world with that."
To read more about Wilpon's comments about Dickey and Wright from yesterday, check out these reports in the New York Post, Newsday, Daily News and the New York Times.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
I was fine before reading these quotes. Now I'm concerned the Mets might botch this.
In hindsight, it's obvious the Mets did not trade Jose Reyes in late 2011 because he was fighting for a batting title and he was their best chance at selling tickets in September that year. It's also clear the Mets were never going to outbid the competition for Reyes, either because the contract would have been too expensive or because – regardless of money – they just never wanted his game, talent and age beyond the next three or four years. Negotiations were destine to fail, yet they kept him that summer, sold tickets and let him walk… To fairly judge that decision, I'll need to see how Reyes does over the course of his current contract, plus know much money was made on tickets that September, plus know how C Kevin Plawecki and SS Matt Reynolds turn out, since they are who was acquired with compensatory picks for Reyes signing with Miami.
The point is, this current front office is probably going to be just as calculated about Dickey and Wright, based on Wilpon's quotes. It's a business and I understand their unemotional approach. I get it, and actually appreciate it. But, I don't have to like it…
I'm now on the side of wanting to retain Dickey, despite once thinking it made more sense to trade him. I now believe he's more valuable on (and off ) the field than in trade. I've always felt that way about Wright. I want these guys back. I want to keep rooting for them. They make being a Mets fan more fun and I need that. These quotes worry me that management might determine that the best way to make the most money (and spend the least) will be to let these situations bleed in to next off season, and – if they do – thanks to the last few years – I'm conditioned to have no faith it will work out to my advantage (as a Mets fan).
God, I hope I'm wrong. I still wake up every morning looking for a headline telling me deals are close. It would just be much, much easier that way. The thing is, I also know that being a Mets fan is never easy, so instead I write this and keep waiting…

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Voters are expected to turn out in a solid showing on election day 2012.
The Deputy Secretary of State for the Elections Division predicts a 65% - 75% turnout, which is about average for a Presidential Election in Maine.
Across the state, polling locations are confirming that number. NEWS CENTER spoke with polling locations in Lewiston, Wells, Portland, Freeport, Falmouth, Sanford, Bangor, Brewer, Ellsworth and Machias. They all report heavy traffic and a large turnout.
In Bangor, poll workers had to bring in extra staff to handle the increased demand for people registering to vote. "The traffic has been pretty steady all day long, especially on voter registration," says Bangor City Clerk Lisa Goodwin, "That is where we are seeing the long lines. To come in an actually pass your ballot is not long, but if you have to register to vote than you'll have to wait in line."
"We have seen a huge influx of, I'd say, our 20-30 year population to vote," explains Brewer City Clerk Howard Kroll, "Whether they moved from a different municipality or it's their first time voting and I think it has to do a lot with the presidential election."

Kingman school security plan: Lock classroom doors
KINGMAN, Ariz. — The Kingman Unified School District has a plan to beef up
school security in the immediate future without breaking the bank.
One of the aspects of the plan hinges on getting teachers to lock classroom
doors when class is in session.
Kingman Middle School teacher Ron Bahre suggested the idea to the district and
The schools' doors open outward and can be locked with a key from the outside.
When used like this, the inside remains unlocked.
During a lockdown situation, the doors can be locked from the inside _ leaving
both sides of the doors locked.
The Kingman Daily Miner (http://bit.ly/113Ms4a) says Bahre also has suggested
an alarm separate from all other bells that ring on a daily basis that tells
employees to initiate lockdown procedures.

Firefox flaw raises phishing fears
A vulnerability in Firefox could expose users of the open-source browser to the risk of phishing scams, security experts have warned.
The flaw in Mozilla Firefox 1.0, details of which were published by security company Secunia on Tuesday, allows malicious hackers to spoof the URL in the download dialog box that pops up when a Firefox user tries to download an item from a Web site. This flaw is caused by the dialog box incorrectly displaying long sub-domains and paths, which can be exploited to conceal the actual source of the download.
Mikko Hypponen, director of antivirus research at software maker F-Secure, said this bug could make Firefox users vulnerable to cybercriminals. "The most likely way we could see this exploited would be in phishing scams," he said.
To fall victim to such a scam, a Firefox user would have to click on a link in an e-mail that pointed to a spoofed Web site and then download malicious software from the site, which would appear to be downloaded from a legitimate site.
This flaw was given a severity rating of two out of a possible five by Secunia.
David Emm, a senior technology consultant at antivirus company Kaspersky Labs, said it is unlikely that phishers will take advantage of this exploit in Firefox, because Microsoft's Internet Explorer still dominates the browser market.
"I think it's unlikely that we'll see hackers rush to exploit this vulnerability," Emm said. "After all, Firefox has a much, much smaller install base than IE, and it's likely that hackers will continue to pay more attention to (IE) instead."
This may change in the future as Firefox has attracted a lot of interest in the past few months. A survey at the end of November found that Mozilla-based browsers, including Firefox, accounted for 7.4 percent of browsers in November 2004, up 5 percent from May.
The download vulnerability has been confirmed in Mozilla 1.7.3 for Linux, Mozilla 1.7.5 for Windows, and Mozilla Firefox 1.0. No solution is available at present, but Mozilla developers are expected to fix this bug in an upcoming version of the product.
In other news;
Firefox: When is a flaw not a flaw?
The news that the Firefox browser contains a flaw that could help cybercriminals to carry out phishing attacks stirred up plenty of reaction and discussion among readers.
Security firm F-Secure warned on Wednesday that the vulnerability, which allows the URL in a Firefox download dialog box to be spoofed, could be exploited by online fraudsters.
Some ZDNet UK readers took issue with the experts, arguing that the flaw shouldn't be regarded as a security vulnerability, because a Firefox user would already have to have clicked on a phishing e-mail and been taken to a fake site to be at risk. "Where is the problem? I hardly think that a spoofed site would link you to a legit download area," commented Pete Molina, a PC and LAN administrator.
"As far as a 'security hole,' it should be more of a user vulnerability, as only a dumb person goes clicking links in e-mails from odd places," argued Killian, another reader. "Granted, it's nice to know, but come on. Most of these 'announcements' just give the phishermen a reason to try to exploit it."
Mozilla's Firefox browser is proving popular with surfers who want an alternative to Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which has been prone to many security problems. Some readers were adamant that Firefox is still a much safer product than IE.
"Firefox, without a doubt, is the best and most secure browser on the market today, and no matter what propaganda is spread throughout the Net regarding its security in a negative way, those who actually know will continue to use Firefox and wait until the patch is complete, not actually even thinking nor caring whether it is released or not while using it," wrote one Web developer.
Some members of the Firefox camp weren't happy about any criticism of their favourite browser. "Thanks but no thanks for the information. We still trust and love FireFox," said Abe, an engineer.
But other readers pointed out the importance of holding all software to the same standards. "Firefox is undoubtedly a better and more secure browser than IE, but any site that reports on flaws or possible flaws in IE--and gives Firefox coverage--should report on Firefox's flaws too," said Seb, an artist based in London. "Essentially, Firefox is better, but it's not perfect, and anyone who thinks or claims it, is as bad as anyone who gets taken in by Gates' marketing spiel."
A software developer from London wrote: "If this vulnerability had been identified in IE, the anti-Microsoft community would no doubt be quick to criticize the product as insecure. Users are smart enough to make up their own minds about which Web browser to use--and the more information that is available about all products on the market, including open source efforts, the better."
One reader even took issue with the claim that Firefox is inherently more secure than IE. "Firefox may offer some 'security through obscurity,' but once it gets to any sort of critical mass, then it will be targeted. Since the hackers have the source code, their lives will be that much easier, and when a patched version is released, it will be easy for them to see where the vulnerability is and target older versions," said one London-based IT worker.
Another reader suggested that Firefox may have an uphill task breaking IE's dominance."Most users couldn't spell 'browser' without help. The only reason so many people use IE is because it is built into the operating system that was on the PC they bought," said Philbert, a computer and electronics specialist.

The U.S. House Committee on Ethics has decided to extend the review of a controversial trip Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburg, took to Taiwan from Dec. 27, 2011, to Jan. 1, 2012.
The committee on Wednesday published a report by the Office of Congressional Ethics detailing the allegations against Mr. Owens and advising further investigation.
Mr. Owens is accused of taking a luxury trip to Taiwan paid for by Park Strategies, a lobbyist firm.
Mr. Owens denies any wrongdoing and said in a news release that his trip was part of an effort to bring high-tech investment to upstate New York.
According to the Office of Congressional Ethics report, Sean King, senior vice president for Park Strategies, refused to cooperate with the investigation, leading the OCE to suspect a potential ethics violation. Vice President of Park Strategies John Zagame and the Chinese Culture University in Taiwan, the organization that Mr. Owens said sponsored the trip, have also refused to cooperate with the OCE, the report states.

News and views from British Columbia
Despite a ragged couple of years, B.C. is still the place to be
Jody Paterson Times Colonist
Columnist Jody Paterson looks back on a journey through what the provincial government calls the Heartland, where she saw how communities are fighting back from forest fires, trade disputes and other setbacks.
I'd heard for a while that B.C.'s heartlands were hurting, and I can now say for certain that they are. I've seen a whole lot of grim faces and struggling businesses in my three-week road trip around the province, and there will be no easy fixes for any of these communities. B.C. has had a terrible couple of years. This summer was surely rock-bottom, with downturns in every major sector of the provincial economy. Tourism, lumber markets, mining activity, government jobs — all down, and many towns hit on every economic front.
It could have all been depressing if it weren't for the people I met along my 4,500-kilometre trip, each of them rolling up their sleeves for the fight to save their communities. Or if it wasn't British Columbia I was travelling through, a land so magnificently beautiful from one end to the other that just to see a new part of it every day is to have your spirits lifted. …
Fire concert takes shape
Stuart Hunter The Province
Toronto may have had SARStock but the B.C. Interior is getting FIREstock. And even though Mick and Keith won't be at FIREstock, Matthew and Michelle will be. Some of the biggest names in the Canadian music industry will be heading to Kamloops next Saturday to perform at Fire on the Mountain — a.k.a. FIREstock — a fundraising concert to aid victims of this summer's devastating fires in the B.C. Interior. …
The Insurance Bureau of Canada has estimated the fires could be the second most expensive natural disaster in Canadian history after the $1.3 billion ice storm that paralyzed Quebec and eastern Ontario.
B.C. Rail deal getting closer
Transportation Minister Judith Reid says the provincial government will make a decision soon on which company will take over B.C. Rail operations. The three companies left in the bidding include two Canadian railways – CN and CP – as well as U.S. based OmniTRAX. A fourth company that had been in the running – RailAmerica – has dropped out. …
Ferries: Chute system just isn't safe, say critics
Christina Montgomery The Province
B.C.'s ferry system is in a crisis that could bar virtually all infants and elderly or disabled people from its major vessels — because of an inadequate evacuation system the company knowingly installed. The heart of the issue?
B.C. Ferry Services Inc., formerly the B.C. Ferry Corp., has for the past decade — and in one case, as late as this spring — installed emergency passenger-evacuation chutes, knowing that at least one manufacturer said they should not be used by those unable to control their limbs during an emergency drop into a waiting life-raft. At the same time, the company removed the swing-arm life- rafts that served as the only adequate alternate escape route for those barred from the chutes.
The company's records show that the failure to provide lifeboats could leave as many as 500 people on a busy summer sailing, and an absolute minimum 60 to 70 people per vessel, without any adequate escape route.
Chute safety became an international issue last October when a British ferry worker was killed during a routine drill on a chute identical to one in use in B.C. A subsequent safety bulletin issued by the U.K.'s Marine Accident Investigation Board — the British equivalent of Canada's Transportation Safety Board — made recommendations about the chute's use in a circular commonly read by the world's maritime community, which includes B.C. Ferry Services. The company was sharply criticised at a federally sponsored maritime industry meeting this week for its failure to comply. …
Sleek-n-sexy new logos for health agencies carry heart-stopping pricetags
Michael Smyth The Province
The Gordon Campbell government created six health authorities. All are reining in spending on health care — and all have cool new logos.
I've been telling you all week how the province's new health-care authorities are blowing your money on sleek-n-sexy logos — what power-tripping bureaucrats call "corporate branding" or "visual identities." Call it what you want, it's costing taxpayers a fortune — and all at a time when the government is closing hospital beds and shutting emergency rooms.
The Fraser Health Authority is the worst offender. Surf to its web site — www.fraserhealth.ca — and you'll see its "old" logo, which looks fine to me. But the bureaucrats say it's not groovy enough, so they're creating a new one at a cost of $80,000. Yes, you read that right: 80 grand. The Vancouver Coastal Health Authority spent $19,000 on its new logo. Believe it or not, bureaucrats worked for months on this thing, including testing its subliminal effects on focus groups. "The wave as a 'swoosh' suggests a progressive element," the Corporate Identity Implementation Team concluded. …
Campbell coalition rejects watchdog for Olympic Games
Russ Francis Monday Magazine
Two capital-area Liberal MLAs were among those rejecting a proposal to assign B.C. auditor general Wayne Strelioff the role of keeping track of costs for B.C.'s 2010 Winter Olympic Games project. At the September 10 meeting of the legislature's public accounts committee, five Liberals voted against a motion from NDP leader Joy MacPhail that Strelioff be appointed the "auditor of record" for the Games. …
In a report earlier this year, Strelioff estimated the Games would cost a minimum $2.9 billion, of which at least $1.2 billion will come from the province. Cost overruns will also be picked up by provincial taxpayers. MacPhail told the meeting that the committee should learn something from "previous megaprojects." "It is the first megaproject that will have a substantial portion of its costs exempt from the freedom of information and protection of privacy law," MacPhail said about the Olympic Games. …

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - Maine's finance commissioner is recommending that Gov. Paul LePage issue a curtailment order to cut spending by $35 million to deal with weak revenues.
Finance Commissioner Sawin Millett issued his recommendation on Monday upon receipt of a formal report by the Revenue Forecasting Committee.
LePage could issue a curtailment order, or undertake other steps to reduce spending. In a statement, LePage said he's reviewing his options "in a thoughtful and meaningful way."
The Forecasting Committee's figures show revenues lagging behind earlier estimates by at least $35 million this fiscal year, which ends June 30, and by $128 million during the two-year budget cycle, which starts next July 1.

Coastal SEES
(Coastal SEES)
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 15-1), is
effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after December 26, 2014. The PAPPG is consistent
with, and, implements the new Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) (2 CFR � 200). Please be advised that
the guidelines contained in NSF 15-1 apply to proposals submitted in response to this
funding opportunity.
Coastal SEES is focused on the sustainability of coastal systems. For this solicitation we define coastal systems as the swath of land closely connected to the sea, including barrier islands, wetlands, mudflats, beaches, estuaries, cities, towns, recreational areas, and maritime facilities; the continental seas and shelves; and the overlying atmosphere.
Humans benefit from their use of coastal environments for enjoyment, dwelling, food, industry, and commerce, and benefit from the myriad of ecosystem services that coastal environments provide. However, human activities often result in physical, chemical, and ecological alterations that influence and interact with natural state and variability, over a range of spatial and temporal scales. A major challenge is to understand the dynamics of this coupled human-natural system in order to inform societal decisions about the uses of coastal systems, including for economic, aesthetic, recreational, research, and conservation purposes.
Scientific understanding is foundational and must include an understanding of reciprocal feedbacks between humans and the natural environment; how people and organizations interpret, assess, and act upon scientific and other evidence; and how they weigh these interpretations against other interests to influence governance and decision-making. Thus, coastal sustainability relies on broad and intimately interconnected areas of scholarship about natural and human processes. Coastal SEES projects will be expected to lead to generalizable theoretical advances in natural sciences and engineering while, at the same time, integrating key aspects of human processes required to address issues of coastal sustainability.

Why are Mark and his publicly-traded company working on a Facebook phone again? An anonymous source inside Facebook apparently told this to the Times, "Mark is worried that if he doesn't create a mobile phone in the near future that Facebook will simply become an app on other mobile platforms."
The Facebook smartphone rumor mill had been quite for some time, and a study conducted earlier this year found that most consumers wouldn't be interested in a Facebook smartphone anyway. The previous rumor that Facebook was close to having its own phone apparently was greatly exaggerated.
The closest Facebook got to its own smartphone the last time was when HTC launched a pair of low-end smartphones with dedicated Facebook sharing buttons, but nothing near a Facebook-branded device.

3) Where are you reading that may be suitable Fender tremolo arm, but did not specify which one. What is the thickness of a tremolo arm?

Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) isn't usually associated with eye disease. In severe cases, however, hypothyroidism may cause swelling around the eyes and a loss of the hairs in the outer part of the eyebrows.
In a few cases, an eye problem known as Graves' ophthalmopathy may develop if hypothyroidism develops after treatment for Graves' disease — the most common form of overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). Graves' ophthalmopathy can cause eye discomfort, protruding eyeballs and vision changes.

Finished these up last weekend. Both are (mostly) a full dyneema/cuben laminate. Lots more details and pictures here.
You're good, Brendan, really good. Those are sweet looking packs. Now I'm wishing I'd picked up some DX-40 when you offered it.
Great looking packs Brendan, very well done! Is the dyneema/cuben material you used on the front and sides from Cubic?
Thanks Gary. I do have 3 yds of DX40 left ;)Chris, it's not from Cubic. I'm not sure the supplier wants it advertised, but it was from a pack company who uses it. It wasn't hard to find/acqure (just to decide if it was worth it...). In the end I was confident enough to know what I wanted and what works after a few years of using my own packs...and I was pretty damn curious to try it out.
Those packs look great. Congratulations.I'm interested in this material. I don't want you to feel any pressure to share the name of the source, but can you tell us a little about the material? Does this laminate have a pure woven dyneema face fabric on it, or a dyneema/polyester (as in the DX40) face fabric, or dyneema reenforcement inside the laminate? Is is laminated to polyester (mylar) film? What is the weight of the material?Edit: Sorry, I just followed the link you posted (which I overlooked before), and some of my questions are answered there. I gather that the material was MADE by Cubic but you acquired it from somewhere else. Nice work. The craftsmanship and the clean simplicity of these designs are impressive.
Edited by ckrusor on 01/31/2013 12:38:46 MST.
Didn't get the fabric from me! :>)
Edited by wildlife on 01/31/2013 16:11:23 MST.
Nice looking pack. Be sure to do a long term report on the material. I'm interested if it is worth it. I really like the way dyneema wears, but it is just so expensive. I don't know if the cost is worth it. Please let us know how it compares.
Looks great.
Colin, thanks and let me know if any of your questions weren't answered. Michael D, I'll definitely do an update. The full dyneema is probably overkill and not worth the price for most unless you're pack is frequently in contact with rock or you're carrying sharp things (skis, etc) on your pack. Michael W, weights and dimensions are listed in the (difficult to see) link above. The big one is 26.5 oz and the smaller one is 16.4 oz.
Nice packs! I'm a bit jealous.

Men's Soccer and Michigan State Battle to a 2-2 Draw
OMAHA, Neb. – The No. 3 Creighton men's soccer team played in a program-record fourth consecutive double-overtime match Tuesday night as the Bluejays came away with a 2-2 tie against Michigan State at Morrison Stadium.
Creighton (5-1-1, 1-0-0 BIG EAST) is 2-1-1 in the four-game span of matches that extended beyond regulation after tonight's result against Michigan State (4-1-1, 0-0-0 Big Ten). It marks the first tie for the Bluejays since a 1-1 decision at Akron in the third round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament last November. CU advanced 5-4 on penalty kicks against the Zips to advance.
Michigan State opened the scoring in the 13th minute off of a corner kick that bounced around a crowd in front of the Bluejay net. Fatai Alashe scored his first goal of the season on a deflection to make it 1-0 Spartans.
Almost eight minutes later, CU freshman Marvin Iskra scored a goal from eight yards out to beat MSU goalkeeper Zach Bennett on an assist from senior Bruno Castro to knot the score at 1-1. Creighton junior Jose Ribas also earned an assist after initiating the play from the left side.
The teams entered halftime tied at 1-1. Creighton held an advantage in shots, 8-2.
MSU also scored early in the second half to take a 2-1 advantage. Keying on another crowd in front of the net, the Spartans were able to head in a shot to the right side of the goal. Tim Kreutz scored his third goal in three games on the header after a rebound off the crossbar.
Just under two minutes later, Castro helped the Bluejays even the score again. Castro headed in a goal from 15 yards out to beat Bennett. It marked his second goal of the season.
Creighton goalkeeper Alex Bolowich moved to 5-1-1 this year while Bennett went to 4-1-1 this season. Bolowich made three saves while Bennett notched four on the evening.
Creighton returns to conference action with its first BIG EAST road match in program history. The No. 3 Bluejays face fellow 2012 College Cup participant in No. 12 Georgetown at noon CT on Saturday in Washington D.C.

Purchase Reason
The room is mid-century modern, and this 1954 piece fits the theme perfectly. I wasn't sure the colors would work with the wood tones and black that dominate the room, but it blends very well, and gives a needed boost of color, while not at all dominating the room or the eye. The subject matter is also a great fit, as the SL is such an iconic design.

Lawmakers in Kansas are considering a strongly worded resolution condemning a controversial United Nations "sustainability" scheme known as Agenda 21, saying the global plan is a "dangerous" attack on private property rights, individual liberty, and national sovereignty. The measure comes amid a growing battle against the global "sustainable development" agenda by state legislatures, local governments and activists all across America.
The Kansas resolution "opposing and exposing the radical nature of United Nations Agenda 21," known as HR 6032, was introduced earlier this month by the House Federal and State Affairs Committee. Its language echoes similar resolutions adopted recently by the state of Tennessee, the Republican National Committee (RNC), the Kansas Republican Party Central Committee, and an assortment of local governments.
Pressure to roll back the controversial UN schemes in Kansas has been building for months. In March, for example, the group Americans for Prosperity hosted a series of presentations around the state by Agenda 21 expert and American Policy Center chief Tom DeWeese. Activists immediately sprang into action, and the Kansas GOP unanimously adopted a party resolution slamming the UN program earlier this year.
"We must develop a comprehensive plan to roll back all of the laws and regulations which have been implemented by Agenda 21," said Kansas grassroots director for Americans for Prosperity Jim Mullins. A broad array of Tea Party groups and liberty-minded organizations agreed, putting strong pressure on their representatives to take action in defense of the state and its people.
Lawmakers heard the calls. This week, a Kansas House Committee held hearings on the state resolution to discuss the UN agenda and the range of threats it represents to citizens and freedom. "This is the most aggressive attack on individual liberty and the foundations of our country we have ever seen, and it's growing," explained Republican state Rep. Dennis Hedke, an independent geophysicist who firmly believes in protecting the environment – just without UN interference.

Arctic Sea Ice decline in the 21st Century
As illustrated in Fig 1, the sea ice retreat accelerates during the 21st century as the ice decays and more sunlight is absorbed by the ocean (the positive ice-albedo feedback). Increasing ocean heat transport under the sea ice adds to the melt back. The retreat appears abrupt when natural variability in the ocean heat transport into the Arctic Ocean is anomalously high. We did not find clear evidence of a threshold, which can be difficult to identify given the variability and complexity of the climate system. Therefore we can neither verify or rule-out the existence of a tipping point. Regardless, the rapid declines seen in our runs are a serious concern.
Figure 2: Northern Hemisphere sea ice extent in September for all seven integration of the CCSM3 with observations from satellite era shown in black.
Most common questions asked by journalists
1) How does our model compare with the trend in the observed record?
The trends in the seven ensemble members for 1979-2006 span the trend in the observations: Some members retreat a little faster and some a little slower, as expected from the random natural variability in the runs (see Fig 2). The model also reproduces the mean and variance of the observations with good fidelity.
2) Other scientists are predicting an ice-free Arctic in September by the year 2060-2080, why is this model predicting it 20-40 years sooner?
First consider estimates based on extrapolation from the observational record. I've heard these numbers quoted in the media, but I have not seen a reference to a scientific paper that discusses the analysis in any detail. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the danger of making an estimate of the future from the observational period. The future trend is not linear, the observational record is too short and the ice-free time is too far in the future to trust extrapolation. If one carries out such an exercise anyway, extrapolation from a linear fit to 1979–2006 gives a zero intersect (indicating the first ice-free year in the future) at about 2110 (see Fig 3). If instead one uses just the last decade, the extrapolation gives 2060. Both estimates are questionable, and so instead we turn to climate models.
Figure 3: Extrapolating into the future from the observational record.
3) Is sea ice in our model retreating faster than in other models?
Figure 4 shows September ice retreat in 16 models that were archived for the IPCC AR4. The most extreme predictions are from models that have too much or too little sea ice extent compared to observations, so it is important for a model to produce the correct sea ice coverage in the past. Some of the spread is expected from natural variability, but much depends on differing model sensitivity relating to the representation of sea ice, heat transport by the ocean, and cloud cover. It is not possible to identify the most accurate model prediction, although I think it is safe to rule out some of the outliers owing to their poor match to the observations.
About half of the models become ice-free in September during the 21st century. I included one ensemble member from our model, CCSM3, which is in the middle of the pack until about 2020. Our model run retreats faster than most after about 2020, but it isn't radically different.
There is considerable uncertainty in future model projections, and Figs 2 and 4 illustrate why it would be better not to focus too much on the year 2040, which to our dismay was highly publicized. The more important message from models is that all but a few outliers predict enourmous sea ice retreat this century. At least a few respectable models predict a nearly ice-free Arctic by midcentury, with a retreat that may be punctuated by rapid events.

Casey Jones: TV's First Policewoman
It wasn't Cagney and Lacey in the 1980s. It wasn't Police Woman in the 1970s. Rather, the first police police woman to come to television was Casey Jones (played by Beverly Garland.)
The concept of following the adventures of a Policewoman wasn't new, but it was rarely tried. In 1946, ABC had brought stories from the case files of Lieutenant Mary Sullivan of the NYPD, the nation's first female homicide police detective and the nation's first director of Policewomen.
In 1957, Decoy went into syndication starring Garland as Casey Jones, a New York City policewoman. Some declare the show a female Dragnet. The comparison is not without merits. Decoy not only had the heroine as a narrator, but was often a police procedural, although sometimes it dabbled in crime melodrama. However, Decoy, while having a technical advisor from the NYPD, was not based on real-life cases. It remains unique among police shows of its era because of its powerful female lead.
I'm a Cop Not a Sociologist
In the episode, "Dark Corridor," Casey goes undercover to investigate the murder of a model inmate in a women's prison. The warden has been lenient and tried to focus the prison on rehabilitation and is concerned that the murder could undermine her efforts with the state. Casey cuts her off with a simple, "I'm a policewoman, not a sociologist."
When the show was at its best, Casey kept to that simple code, as she took on gamblers, robbers, murderers, drug dealers, smugglers, and thieves just like her male counterparts. However, Casey also investigated some crimes that targeted women which weren't ususally dealt with on television such as rape and obscene phone calls.
Casey was a great character. She was tough and intelligent, but also sensitive. Casey cared about people and empathized with them, even some of the criminals. However, Casey's sensitive nature didn't stop her from doing her job (with one exception I'll discuss below.)
At the end of most episodes, she breaks the fourth wall and talks to the audience for a minute with some thoughts on the case just concluded.
The vast majority of episodes have Casey going undercover for at least part of the episode. Casey's undercover roles included society heiress, nurse, carnival dancer, shop lifter, and junkie. It makes you appreciate the talent of Ms. Garland, who not only had to play her character, but play her character pretending to be someone else in nearly every episode.
Decoy also welcomed a variety of guest stars, many of whom would go on to great things. Larry Hagman, who would go on to fame in Dallas made his first television appearance in a bit part in "Saturday Was Lost." Suzanne Pleshette made an early TV appearance in, "The Sound of Tears." And a young Peter Falk gave a show-stealing guest performance in "The Comeback" three years before getting a best supporting actor Ocsar Nomination and a decade before he would make his first appearance as Lieutenant Columbo.
While Garland was the only actor to appear in every episode, she had one big supporting player: New York City. If nothing else were good about Decoy, it'd be worth watching for its look at 1950s New York City. The show made New York come alive and the setting was key to the whole story.
The Best of Decoy:
20 of the Public Domain Decoy episodes have made their way online and several of the non-public domain episodes have also made their way onto DVD releases from Timeless Video, Alpha Video, and other companies. Over the past year, from a variety of sources, I've been able to able to watch 31 of the 39 episodes of Decoy. Some of the best of these were:
Also known as Stranglehold. The plot is that a man was strangled and that the police believe that a woman who lives in the building knows who did it. Casey goes undercover to get the woman to spill. This a powerful suspense-filled Noirish episode that sets a great tone for the rest of the series.
Casey investigates the death of an engaged man. Casey does a great job investigating the case, while dealing with old wounds it reopens, as she lost the man she loved to an act of violence.
This is one episode where a Dragnet comparison is apt. Casey has to help a teenage girl what happened to her sister, while they were under the influence of drugs. A powerfully done and unforgetable episode that could have been produced by Jack Webb.
Casey goes undercover in an office to investigate an arson where all fingers of suspicion are pointed at a woman who had been a mental institution. Good mystery and the denoument is dramatic and fitting.
Peter Falk plays a race track cashier who is in cahoots with a criminal making counterfeit parimutuelracing tickets. Casey pretends to be crooked and wanting a piece of the action in exchange for her cooperation, so she can break the racket. However, Falk believes she's too classy to go crooked, tries to talk her out of it, and then gets beat up for trying to steal the picture that the counterfeiting took of Casey taking his money so that she can get out of it. Falk is frustrating to both Casey and the counterfeiting boss but endearing at the same time in a TV appearance that foreshadowed a great acting career to come.
Casey goes undercover to bust up a gambling ring. The plan is for police to follow her to the location. The problem? The gamblers have such a confusing system of switching cars and making turns, that the police can't keep up. Inspired by space satellites, the police improvise a high tech solution, at least for 1958.
Other episodes that are well-worth watching include Fiesta at Midnight, The First Arrest, Tin Pan Payoff, Shadow of Van Gogh, and Ladies Man.
Who is Casey Jones?
Of course, the episodes weren't all great. One of the challenges in Decoy was that the portrayal of Casey was uneven. Decoy was definitely trying to reach female viewers, howwever every Decoy script was written by a man who imagined what type of script women might like. In addition, no one wrote more than four episodes of Decoy, so there were differing views of the character that came to bear.
The episode, "Cry Revenge" was bizarre with a young disabled woman marrying a man who was making harassing and threatening phone calls to her mother in order to get revenge on her mother for her father leaving. Similarly weird, was the episode, "Death Watch" (IMDB link only) which featured a shoplifting ring that did murder-for-hire as a sideline, and an odd melodramatic plot with a punchy son.
Decoy rarely went more wrong than when Casey went outside of police work and towards social work. In an unforgetably disturbing scene at the end of, "Night Light," Casey urges a criminal to reject his son (apparently to prevent him from becoming a criminal), and the criminal then proceeds to tell his son that he doesn't want him or care about him.
Yeah, that's the key to a well-adjusted adulthood.
The most egregious example of this was the episode, "Scapegoat" (IMDB only) in which Casey travels out of town to bring back a suspect. The suspect is embarassed by having to wear handcuffs, so Casey feels bad for her and takes the handcuffs off as long as the fugitive promises not to run away. Casey gets distracted for a minute and low and behold, the fugure ("shock") escapes. The convict is gets her mentally disabled ten year old-son who she plans to throw off a bridge because she's unable to pay for the private hospital she had him and feels that he's better off dead than a state institution. Casey talks her out of throwing her son over the bridge by using her own boneheaded move as proof that government employees are capable of compassion and caring.
This episode was a classic case of a writer violating their character. It's almost shocking that this one made it to air because it contradicts every other episode that shows Casey as calm and thoroughly competent, with emotions in check.
"Across the World" is notable for Casey being knocked out early in the episode and the audience getting to watch three people they don't know or care about at each other's throats in an after-school special style show that I guess was trying to urge people not to get involved in international gun-running.
I also didn't buy the emotional angles in "Eye for an Eye," but that may have been a matter of taste.
Still, with both its good and bad episodes, Decoy remains a memorable program, that any fan of Classic TV detectives should acquaint themselves with.

POTSDAM - High school Latin teacher Lynette Maxson urged board of education members to consider restoring her job to a full-time position at Tuesday nights public hearing on Potsdam Centrals proposed 2012-13 spending plan.
The position is being cut from full-time to part-time next year as the district begins to phase out the program. The original proposal called for the position to be eliminated entirely in 2012-13, but concern over what would happen to students already enrolled in Latin led the board to restore half of the position.
Currently there are 29 kids signed up for Latin I next year, she said, explaining several students have asked her if there was any way they could take Latin over the summer and jump into Latin III next year.
The interest and commitment from the students is there, Ms. Maxson said, explaining statistics show Latin students do better in math, science, English and on average score better on the SATs than students taking another foreign language.
The admissions department at Yale considers a B in Latin to be worth at least an A, if not more, in another language, she said. I would ask that you keep our humble program in your thoughts as you make these decisions.
Mary Ashley Carroll, who is one of six candidates seeking election to the school board, agreed.
That cut was one of the ones that concerned me, she said. I would echo her concerns. I think its a detriment to our students to not have that.
Sandra D Morris, another school board candidate, questioned Mr. Brady on projected class sizes in the elementary school for next year.
In the end there were no cuts to teachers at the elementary level, Mr. Brady said. Our class sizes there are manageable. We didnt cut any teachers, but we didnt add any.
Mr. Brady said maintaining reasonable class sizes in the elementary level has always been a concern for the district.
Weve always looked at trying to maintain reasonable class sizes, especially at the primary level, he said.
Ms. Morris suggested shuffling staff to further reduce class sizes in the elementary school.
I would move staff around so there could be lower numbers, she said. I know you can do that after this, but this seldom happens.
While the board of education voted to restore many proposed cuts to the budgets, several cuts do remain in the districts final $27,782,798 spending plan.
The proposal still includes several cuts, with a .5 cut slated for business, family and consumer science, Latin, and music teachers. The budget also cuts the dean of students position, two keyboard specialists, five teacher aides and the districts golf and cheerleading programs.
The proposal is a 3.8 percent or $989,363 spending increase over the current years budget.
It also uses $2,147,546 in fund balance and reserves, while calling for a 2.9 percent tax levy increase, an increase that exceeds their maximum allowable tax levy by 0.9 percent or $99,624.
We heard loud and clear from some members of this board and the public that we needed to tighten things up and use some more fund balance, Mr. Brady said, adding that prior to the financial crisis hitting the district was only using $600,000 in fund balance each year.
If funding does not change, well have some very difficult decisions down the road, he said.
Voters will head to the polls on Tuesday to decide the fate of the budget. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the school and since the proposal exceeds the tax limit 60 percent plus one vote approval is needed in order for the budget to pass.

If you've popped by a store in the past month or seen images from just about any of the fall runways, no doubt you know that the look du jour is all about leather-indisputably! While the little leather jacket has been a wardrobe staple for countless seasons, lately designers are turning their attention away from this ubiquitous piece and exploring other silhouettes and styles. Now that the material (and many great faux alternatives) is no longer relegated to simply outerwear and accessories, we're spotting leather-focused looks on all kinds of ladies, ranging from society mavens to stylish models. And if today's fashion plates aren't reason enough to try the trend, consider the fact that this trend is definitely going to loiter for at least another season or two. Trust us: we logged no less than fifty leather looks on New York's S/S 10 runways!
But before we get into next season's trends, let's examine the way trendsetters are wearing these pieces now. Obviously the most intense looks involve head-to-toe leather, like the Proenza Schouler jumpsuit Chloe Sevigny wore to a magazine launch party a few months ago. The directional suit is from the line's S/S 09 collection and definitely offers the edgiest version of the trend. Of course, you can get a semblance of Sevigny's panache without fully committing to a black leather onesie; simply look for trousers instead. Not to discount one of our favorite fall essentials, but we think Geren Ford's Pleated Leather Pants ($595) and Jenni Kayne's Leather Trousers ($895) are wonderfully wearable options. Additionally, you could pick up a pair of menswear-inspired shorts, like Charlotte Ronson's Leather Shorts with High Waist ($193), which will still be on-trend come spring.
If you're not sure Sevigny's statement style is for you, but you're still feeling bold, take some outfit-inspiration from model Chanel Iman. Spotted at a Julianne Moore-hosted dinner in honor of Bottega Veneta's Tomas Maier, Iman impressed us with her draped leather dress. The Nero Washed Lambskin Dress ($3900, 877.362.1715) is a stunner thanks to its soft lines and feminine shape, which are both gorgeous and unexpected; the design offers the perfect contrast to the material's inherent toughness. While similar styles are definitely going to require some financial investment, we did sleuth out an incredible and affordable iteration: Eksempel's Sleeveless Leather Look Dress ($192).
Of course, if you'd prefer to mix a smaller leather element into your outfit, you've got loads of wardrobe role models to emulate as well. We always like the look of a black leather skirt, whether it's a pencil style à la Agyness Deyn or something sexier, like the banded mini Lily Donaldson wore to the Richard Hambleton exhibition during New York Fashion Week. The marvelous Ms. Donaldson looked every inch the major model in her snug skirt and seriously waist-cinching belt (the former is an insider find from Golde while the latter is the La Haute Belt ($395) by Kiki de Montparnasse). Just keep her styling choices in mind and mix the industrial leather with something lighter, like a super soft t-shirt or tank. While we're wild about Vince's Bondage Leather Mini Skirt ($695), if you're not ready to splurge, be sure to check out Silence & Noise's Tiered Faux Leather Skirt ($78) or the Warehouse's Buckle Leather Mini Skirt ($128), which comes with its own belt-like details.
Our final favorite way to work leather into our autumnal wardrobe is best illustrated by Byrdie Bell, who gave us a fashion crush when she threw on a cool moto vest over a long girly gown for the same Richard Hambleton party (what a fete!). Though her Yigal Azrouel dress is unquestionably gorgeous, it could feel a bit precious for anything less than a black-tie event. But when worn with G-Star's Correct Gilet ($480), the combination suddenly seems completely cool and relevant for less-dressy occasions. The leather vest is also a great piece to wear with more casual fare as well. In fact, it can be used to add interest to a simple outfit, much like the way one accessorizes with an oversized patterned scarf. We adore Topshop's Sleeveless Leather Biker Gilet ($170), but in addition to these boxy moto styles, there are also a number of more-fitted pieces on the market. Try bebe's Leather Knit Back Vest ($149) for a slim, slightly Edwardian look or Erin Wasson x RVCA's Hard Loser Leather Vest ($209) if your taste tends to run on the rock'n'roll side of things. Whatever your style is, you're sure to find at least one way to incorporate transitional leather into your current look!

CANTON Three Onondaga County residents face charges after St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies said they were found with more than 10 pounds of marijuana following a pair of traffic stops Tuesday night.
Deputies pulled over two cars on Route 11 in the town of Canton, one driven by Heather Wood, 29, North Syracuse, and the other by Deya Williams, 31, Syracuse.
Ms. Wood, Ms. Williams and Dewite Wood, 53, Syracuse, were arrested at 7:40 p.m. and each was charged with felony marijuana possession. Deputies did not indicate what, if any, relationship might exist between the parties, nor did they specify in which car Mr. Wood was riding.
The three were arraigned in Pierrepont Town Court and committed to the St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, in lieu of $3,000 bail.

42 U.S. Code § 1490d - Loans to nonprofit organizations to provide building sites for eligible families, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and cooperatives; interest rates; factors determinative in making loan
(1) In general.— The Secretary may make loans, on such terms and conditions and in such amounts he deems necessary, to public or private nonprofit organizations and to Indian tribes for the acquisition and development of land as building sites to be subdivided and sold to families, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and cooperatives eligible for assistance under any section of this subchapter or under any other law which provides financial assistance for housing low- and moderate-income families. Such a loan shall bear interest at a rate prescribed by the Secretary taking into consideration a rate determined annually by the Secretary of the Treasury as the current average market yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the United States with remaining periods to maturity comparable to the average maturities of such loans, adjusted to the nearest one-eighth of 1 per centum, and shall be repaid within a period not to exceed two years from the making of the loan or within such additional period as may be authorized by the Secretary in any case as being necessary to carry out the purposes of this section.
(2) Revolving funds.— The Secretary may make grants to nonprofit housing agencies to establish revolving loan funds for the acquisition and preparation of building sites for low-income housing. Any proceeds and repayments from such loans shall be returned to the revolving loan fund to be used for purposes related to this section. Loan funds and interest payments shall be used solely for the acquisition of land; the preparation of land for building sites; the payment of reimbursable legal and technical costs; and technical assistance and administrative costs, not to exceed 10 percent of the fund.
