Here is the thing about berets. They can look warrior-ish if worn tight and tough. You can't can't (cannot) let it get away from you like the poor, shorter gentleman in the picture below, to the right. I think he knows his beret is askew; he has that sheepish look beret wearers get when they lose the battle. It looks like a giant tortilla, pita, or nan bread landed on this head. Or those of a certain generation might say he resembles Rudy from Fat Albert. This is not a good representation of the warrior ethos we are seeking from our knights:
The bereted mousketeers are included in an article about how France is picking up its efforts in North Africa. And the jihadis there are targeting them. Jihad, it means holy war. Or struggle to the naive.
It also can be a name. Be wary of anyone named Jihad El Eid. El Eid means the party or the holiday. And a real Jihad El Eid just absconded with $150k of Broward County's dough. He is the former traffic engineering director, undoubtedly a challenging job worthy of a good Jihad.

Vision 2020: Recommendations to help car industry reach new heights Zveřejněno:: 07/06/2012
European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani, responsible for Industry and Entrepreneurship, said: "The CARS 21 report provides useful input for the important strategic vision for the automotive industry in 2020 which we will present after the summer. But the automotive industry needs to be in good shape first in order to realise this vision. We therefore need to act now and decisively in order to counter current economic difficulties by mobilising financing for research, carefully evaluating any new regulation and supporting the expansion on third markets".
On the occasion of the presentation of the CARS 21 report, the European Commission announced today concrete actions to be taken in reaction to the current economic situation: 1) providing EU financing for research, 2) smart regulation and 3) improving international market access.
Recognising the strategic importance of the automotive industry for prosperity in Europe (12 million jobs, € 92 bn trade balance, € 30 bn investment in R&D) an Action Plan will list measures to help the sector. Planned actions concern: 1) providing EU financing for research, in particular to help the sector adapt to the technologies of tomorrow, and reinforcing EIB lending to industry 2) managing the sector's costs by applying the principles of smart regulation and 3) supporting the internationalisation of EU industry by improving market access through trade negotiations and work on regulatory and procedural convergence with the ultimate aim of achieving a worldwide car type approval. This would mean that any car produced in the world can be marketed in every country of the world.
Moreover, the Cars 21 report sets out a complete vision for the automotive industry in 2020 providing recommendations for rapid progress on important subjects such as electro-mobility, road safety, market access strategy and a review of the CO2 emissions from cars and vans.

The physicians in the collaborative Brain Tumor Institute are recognized as the world's leaders in pediatric brain cancer.
The Brain Tumor Institute at Children's National evaluates more than 100 new patients with brain tumors every year. We provide continuing care for hundreds of others. Our multidisciplinary team of experts in neurology and oncology are regularly consulted to provide second opinions for patients from the United States and around the world.
The institute is one of only a few programs boldly trying to eliminate radiation, especially in infants. By finding alternative treatments with fewer long-term effects, the team aspires to increase patients' quality of life.
The program ensures that your child sees both a neurologist and an oncologist on every visit, and benefits from the expertise of related specialists including endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, radiologists, pathologists, and psychologists.
Under the leadership of Director Roger J. Packer, MD, Neurology Division Chief and Executive Director of the Center for Neuroscience and Behavioral Medicine, and Clinical Director Brian R. Rood, MD, the program treats patients with the following conditions:
"You are about to embark on a journey that will be the challenge of your life as a parent. But you have chosen a hospital and a brain tumor treatment team that is one of the best in the country."

BUFFALO, N.Y.- The Sabres prepare to host an old friend tonight as they take on the Minnesota Wild at First Niagara Center.
Former Sabres captain Jason Pominville returns to Buffalo for the first time since being dealt to the Wild in a trade deadline deal that would see goalie Matt Hackett and forward Johan Larsson join the team.
Wild Coach Mike Yeo says Pominville will likely be in the starting lineup tonight.
"It was weird, I think coming into the door, the same door you usually go in, but having to go left instead of right to the lockrroom was a little different but it's good to be back. A lot of great memories, a lot of good times, just excited to get the game going," said Pominville.

Vincent Annella, a Boy Scout from Price is looking for information from residents that concerns his Eagle Scout project.
Annella has been granted permission to erect a monument to the first cabin that was built in Price, which was located about where Fairview Supply now stands. The city has donated a slab of sandstone for part of the project and it will be located at the new river trail trailhead on Carbon Avenue.
Annella, however needs some more information about the cabin and a subsequent previous monument put in about the cabin in the 1930s by a boy scout troop.
First he needs to know when Carbon Avenue was extended across the river in the configuration as it presently exists. At one time the street ended near a swamp that led to the Price River. At the end of the street was the monument that the scouts put up during the depression. Knowing that year would help him to find out what year the previous monument was taken out.
Second, he would like to know what year that first cabin was torn down.
If you have information on the monument, the road or the cabin please call him at 435 637-6761.

Adjustable for better sound Bang & Olufsen Earphones are designed to fit the individual ear and deliver unsurpassed sound quality. With conventional earphones much of the sound never makes it into the ear. These earphones are specially developed to closely match the contours and curves of the ear – so you hear the sounds that would otherwise slip away.
Outstanding acoustics and ergonomics Each element can be manoeuvred up or down and side-to-side to ensure the perfect fit. In fact, Bang & Olufsen Earphones are adjustable in so many ways, and are so comfortable to use, you might end up wondering whether you are actually wearing them or not. Inside, they contain many of the same acoustic competences found in our larger loudspeakers, just miniaturised.
High-tech jewelery The earphones are crafted from anodised aluminium and hard rubber giving them both flexibility and robust durability. They come with their own specially designed leather carrying case as the perfect portable music partners for a leather-clad BeoSound 2.

I absolutely love the quality. Its clarity is phenomenal, it truly is. It fits on my ear and I never worry about it falling off. It's a pricey product, but you are getting the Bang & Olufsen quality for it. If you are looking for headphones/earphones, understand that this brand comes with a price. Simply put, expect to pay a price. It comes with a beautiful leather case, which really makes me confident that this will last a long time. I'm still in awe of how high quality these earphones are. I did not give this product 5 stars because of one thing: I cannot get the earphones to fit snug into my ear. This diminishes the volume. The max volume is plenty loud, but I like keeping my iPod on a low volume so the whole world doesn't hear what I'm listening to. Otherwise, I might as well carry loudspeakers.

As much as I love the sound more than any earbuds I've used, which is why I bought them a second time, I continue to find the weak thin guage wire to fail at both the plug connection and intersection where it splits off to the individual ears. I always store them in the case provided and now see the wire splitting because of the frequency I wrap the wire around the carrying case. For the kind of money being spent, surely a heavier guage wire would go a long way to providing better durability.

Bang & Olufsen A8 Headphones-Great Sound
By Bang

About Me Frequent Traveler
The B&A 3i headphone is a better product if the intended use is the Apple I-Pod. That's a 5 star rated device in my opinion, because the additional manual control is very convenient. Otherwise B&A A8 headphone is far superior, for lots of reasons, compared to other competing headphones. I think it's well worth the extra money, if for no other reason the sound quality.

About Me Runner
My main use for these headphones are for my daily running routine. I cant begin to tell you how annoying it is when you have to keep adjusting your earbuds mid workout, well i no longer have that problem. These headphones wrap nicely around the ear which prevents them from falling off, and the sound is just perfect. At first they were a little strange to get used to but give it a couple days and you will learn how to adjust them perfectly to your ears...

I absolutely love these headphones. This is my second pair of headphones from B&O and the old ones lasted me over 4 years and the only reason I got a new pair is because I wanted one :-). They fit perfectly around the ear. I sweat a lot and they don't fall out and the sound is fantastic. They are light weight and they adjust to the ear. They are worth every $ I spent on them.

Comments about Bang & Olufsen Yellow A8 Series Earphones:
I use these with my Samsung Galaxy SII. I love the build and ease of use. I have small ears and the regular earbud headphones almost always cause me discomfort after prolonged use. These headphones are awesome. Though the only downside I can think of is that they are quite expensive. I hope they last - I have only used these for about 3 months now.

Video: Recent West Nile Case in WNY
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Federal health officials say this year's West Nile Virus outbreak is one of the largest in U.S. history.
The Erie County Health Department says they have one confirmed case of West Nile. Scott Zimmerman with the Erie County Health Department says that that person was treated and has since recovered.
2 On Your Side spoke to the son of the man who was treated for West Nile. He tells us his 84-year-old father was released from the hospital to an assisted living facility because he still needs treatment for ongoing symptoms related to the disease.
The man's son is urging people to rid their property of any standing water. Experts say standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
The virus is carried by mosquitoes and. at the national level, there are four times the usual number of cases for this time of year. In an average year, fewer than 300 cases are reported by mid-August.
Here are some tips from the Erie County Health Department to protect yourself:
Use Insect Repellent
Apply on exposed skin when you go outdoors. Use an EPA-registered insect repellent such as those with DEET, picardin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Always read and follow all directions and precautions on the product label.
Wear Long-sleeves and Pants
When possible, wear long-sleeves, long pants, and socks when outdoors. Mosquitoes may bite through thin clothing, so spraying clothes with repellent containing permethrin or DEET will give extra protection. Do not apply repellents containing permethrin directly to skin. Do not spray repellent containing DEET on the skin under your clothing.
Be Aware of Peak Mosquito Hours
The hours from dusk to dawn are peak biting times for many species of mosquitoes. Take extra care to use repellent and protective clothing during evening and early morning - or consider avoiding outdoor activities during these times.
Install or Repair Screens
Keep mosquitoes from entering your home with secure, intact screens on windows and doors.
Drain Standing Water
Eliminate mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water from flower pots, buckets, barrels, and other containers near your home. Drill holes in tire swings so water drains out. Keep children's wading pools empty and on their sides when not in use.
For more information please contact the Erie County Department of Health Environmental Health Division at (716) 961-6800.

Kargiver, you haven't been on today. At first I thought you were just busy around the house, but now wondering if you've had trouble getting in again. Not like you not to jump in at least once during the day. Hope it's BDC and not a migraine or something else keeping you mum.

Catching up now after a busy weekend...
pingo, I love Carters pajamas for my kids. They are great quality and last a long time. For a newborn i would stay away from outfits that are too complicated to put on/off. I kept both my kids in one piece clothes that snapped on the bottom and/or pajamas for the first few months. You should also avoid buying newborn sized clothes as the baby will be growing out of those fast. Other quality kids clothing stores are baby gap, old navy and children's place. Of those, I like old navy. Mid range price wise, good quality and cute selections. Have fun!
TT your pumpkin is precious. My DDs would like to play with him.
we took the girls sledding today which was a lot of fun. Both kids are daredevils. My DH was a daredevil too. I mostly cringed and retrieved sleds. we came home and took a family nap (all at the same time, kids in their own beds). It was great. nice to have a family day without errands, birthday parties, etc to do. So rare.
Off to relax and watch Olympics for a little bit before bed.

SS the Carter's factory was in Needham...they had a store too. Don't know who owne them now...There were a couple of Decelle's stores that also I think were owned by Carter's originally. Lexington, West Roxbury - maybe one in Framingham?

Good morning!
Sorry for the concern - yes, I couldn't get in and gave up since was busy, anyway, trying to catch up on the mountain of moulding to dust. Not only have I not been able to do it, but the wood stove throws black ash (not a ton, just enough to show as little black specs on the cream painted woodwork).
Haven't caught up but adore the pic of Pumpkin and his Dino breakfast. :)
Off to the Monday morning races; I hope my car will start for my appt...
More later - seems bdc is letting me in for now!

Glad to see your post this morning, Kargiver, and know it was just BDC up to their old tricks.
Rama, I'm sure pumpkin would love a play date with your girls. His Mom tells me she takes him to a couple of story hours and he's enamored with a quiet little girl at one, brings her books and toys and lays them at her feet! Too cute. They are both 2.
Today is wreath day, so hope all goes well. Am making up a batch of dough for cookies in case we have time after - tho I'm hoping also she'll get that red/pink paper bowl at least coiled and in shape to mod podge.
A high of 30 here today, I heard on TV, but windy. No sign of that yet. May try to run out a bit this morning and breath in some fresh air. Your day's outing sledding sounds like fun.
8:00 and I'm showered and dressed already. That's a good start on the day for me. Check in later.

Good morning everyone. tt, pumpkin is gorgeous and those beautiful eyes. :) Looks like he's enjoying the dino cookie. Pingo, Carters is great, though I'll say that I dressed DS up in actual clothes from the beginning, as I thought it was fun. Though I'll second Old Navy and Gap, though my experience is that the Gap clothes last longer, even now at 13, DS' pants from the Gap last longer than Old Navy, but that won't matter much for a newborn.

Ran out to the Paper Store for valentines - OMG, was in there practically an hour. Still h ave to buy candy and make up bags for kids and get stuff for pumpkin's and bro's cards. Was running out of time - tomorrow's another day.
Hats, did you tell us about the "tea"? I can's google back to see if I missed it.
Kargiver, I had to boot completely out of Chrome and come back in to be able to post here. Got that "br" in the box, funny spaced type, and when I hit post, it disappeared.

I did not tell you about the tea, but it was lovely - a book club event. Lots of talk, lots of delicious sweets, lots of tea, some cucumber and banana bread sandwiches, one salad, thank heaven, because that was the only 'real' and 'healthy' food I've had in the past two days. Craving protein! Don't think I've had any except dairy in more than 48 hours.
Anxiously waiting for photos from your afterschool visit from GD, TT.
I used to love drawstring nightgowns for babies - all these snaps the clothes have now drive me nuts. Of course it's because of the car seats that babies now wear clothing that are essentially pants. Time marches on, but when they are home all the time, as Rama said, and being changed and fed frequently, the easier the better! Especially if you get a spitter-upper....
Pingo, hope your British guest is fun and I know she will enjoy her welcome from you...keep us up to date on your TX plans. How is baby doing now? Still warm and eating well?

Her father just came and picked her up. We got a lot done. Made the wreaths:
Hers is the one with the bow. Mine definitely needs one.
Made the paper bowl, which again turned out like a flower pot, but she said it's just right to keep on her desk to keep her school tokens in, and made a batch of sugar heart cookies. A good afternoon.

Good morning. tt, the wreaths and bowl are beautiful. Nice job the two of you did. The cookies look fantastic, I'd like one please. Are you going to make the peanut blossoms as part of your Valentine's baking? tt, did you watch DA?
Re: February 2014
posted at 2/11/2014 8:22 AM EST
DA is repeated tonight on Channel 44 so I have it on my calendar.
I agree, TT, that the inside of the bowl is the most interesting. Have you ever thought of painting the outside, or maybe decoupaging it with some of the hearts left over from the wreath project or some other motif?
More snow on Thursday. I am ready for winter to end, you hear me weather gods? OTOH, the days are definitely longer. I woke at 6:15 and it was getting light - remember when it wasn't light until 7?

Re: February 2014

Good morning,
I myself would never consider painting the bowls, nor decorating them with embellishments - to me the beauty is in the myriad of colors of the folded magazine pages. I think GD feels the same way - with the first one we did for her mother for Christmas, the one that looked like a saucer, her father suggested painting it pink - - we both simultaneously looked at him!
In regard to the wreaths, I'm realizing now that I never put out those wallpaper pieces I so carefully chose. Showed her the craft box, even opened the drawer, but never said, "Oh, I found these if you'd like to cut some hearts out of these and use them. I had set up a TV table to stuff to use:
As much as I would like the peanut butter blossoms, Winter, I realize noone in my family around here eats peanuts or peanut butter. I would gobble them up. that would not be a good thing.
I did not make it up to watch DA Sunday, so I'll be joining you tonight on WGBH, Hats.
Things to do this morning, including getting the Valentine candy and card embellishments so I can get all the cards in the mail.
12 degrees? Well, I'll hot foot it in and out of the car to the stores.

Finally I can post again. Too bad no one eats peanut butter cookies. Is your local son allergic? They are addictive though so wise choice if you are afraid of eating them. I'll have to drop some off to you next time I make them.

His son is the one who has an allergic reaction to anything with peanuts in it. Would love some, I love the combination of chocolate and peanut.

The Mets have a new AAA affiliate in Las Vegas rather than Buffalo. Does this matter?
Sure, on the logistics front, this is a nuisance. Players promoted to the big leagues will have more travel in front to them. Flights from Las Vegas to New York are longer than from Buffalo to New York. Likewise, flights from Pacific Coast League road destinations like Fresno and Tacoma are further from New York than Gwinnett and Charlotte and Lehigh Valley. Of course, the Mets do not play all of their games in New York. The average trip will be longer, but considering players were flying from one place to another, it will just take a little more planning, and yes more money to move guys to the big leagues.
However, now the Mets' double-A and triple-A teams are more geographically separate. Again, this matters less than one might reasonable expect. Sure, it will be harder to shuffle players between the two levels. The "guys," the prospects, will (ideally) move once from AA to AAA on their way to the big leagues in 2012 this group included Matt den Dekker, Collin McHugh, Zack Wheeler. However, the Mets will lose considerable flexibility that they have enjoyed in the last four years to easily shuffle organization-level guys between AA and AAA. For example, Raul Reyes for example had two different tenures in AAA this year. SS Sean Kazmar played for the Bisons for a month from the end of May through June. Utility infielder Michael Fisher made a couple of trips from Buffalo to Binghamton this year. On the pitching side, Gonzalez Germen, Armando Rodriguez, Mark Cohoon, Brad Holt and Edgar Ramirez both made brief cameos in AAA to fill short-term roster needs. Dustin Martin signed with the Mets, spent two months in AAA and then was sent down to AA. Edgar Ramirez spent a few days on the Bisons' roster in June. Keeping both the AA and AAA rosters full, and close to fully functional will become more difficult. I suspect that the Mets will use more phantom disabled list trips and other roster paper moves to avoid having the affiliates playing shorthanded too often.
Las Vegas is a good hitters' park in a great hitters' league.
PCL teams scored 5.1 runs per game on a line of .278/.345/.430 this year. For comparison, the International League hit .257/.328/.389 and scored 4.3 runs per game. That's a big difference.
This year, the 51s hit .298/.370/.455 in 143 games. Jeff Sackman/Dan Szymborski at Baseball Think Factory determined that Las Vegas was 1.04 for runs over both a three-year weighted park factor and one-year estimator for 2011, which is to say that Cashman Field in Vegas allowed 4% more runs to score than the PCL average. Minor League Central, on a one-year factor in 2011, determined that Las Vegas was 1.06 overall. In particular, Minor League Central found that Vegas was very doubles friendly, with 1.11 rate on doubles, a number echoed by BBTF's 1.09 on doubles.
Buffalo's park factor on runs was 0.95 over three years. Thus, the average team in an average game in Vegas could expect to score 5.3 runs per game while the same team in Buffalo would expect to score 4.085 runs per game.
The real monsters for scoring, using the three-year weighted averages on run-scoring are Albuquerque (1.24), Colorado Springs (1.16) and Reno (1.12). Vegas is in a group with Round Rock (1.04) and Salt Lake (1.03) as hitter friendly (by PCL standards), but not overwhelmingly so.
Developmental Impact
Almos none. Seriously. Just normalize the numbers, hard.
I made this point on the Mostly Mets Podcast last week. Las Vegas will be a difficult place to pitch. The big leagues are also a difficult place to pitch. Pitching prospects will still need to see the minors, best, most selective and powerful hitters before graduating to see the world's best, most patient and powerful hitters in the big leagues.
The numbers will often not be pretty for pitchers, and be bloated for position players. For the Mets, this presents a coaching and developmental challenge of really explaining development through process and secondary skills. Pitchers should still aspire to a K/BB above three. They should still be working towards walk rates under the MLB average of 8.5%. Hits and homers are going to happen. Hitters should still be working on using the whole field, using the right situational strategies and taking their walks.
Ted examined both the Blue Jays and Dodgers decisions with respect to their pitching prospects here, noting that the Jays "haven't let many of their pitching prospects spend much time there – pretty much just Brett Cecil." The Dodgers let most of their big minor league arms (Clayton Kershaw aside) skip Vegas.
As far as the potential psychological damage for a pitcher working in Vegas, that has been raised here and elsewhere, I am just not interested. If a player is done with AA, but not MLB ready, he needs to go to AAA. The results there might not be dominant early, or ever, but that's partly what the minor leagues are for. For a recent example, think back to Matt Harvey's April in cold Buffalo or Jeurys Familia's first half of 2012.
So, the deal with Vegas: the numbers will need to be run through the blender to be sort of meaningful, the logistics will be a pain in the rear for the Mets, and it will make for a better, if longer road trip for New York fans than Buffalo.

The plates on this shelf are here year round, and I think the Scrooge characters go with the plates.
I am linking to Table Top Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life. Please keep our grandson in your prayers. He was born four months early and weighed one pound, 14 ounces. He's doing great for such a small baby, but we know we have a long road ahead of us. His six and nine year old sisters are staying with us, because their parents are at the hospital with the baby, and it is three hours from our home. My blog posts my be sporadic for awhile.

On Thursday afternoon, the debut matches for the Carbon High girls tennis team took place in Castle Dale against the Spartans. Even though the squad of nine did not win a match Coach Tom Alleman was impressed by his teams effort.
"They didn't blow us off the court," he said, "We did great for our first time and we are a young team."
For Alleman it boded well that they are comprised of five freshmen, two sophomores and a pair of juniors. He is looking forward to building a tradition of tennis in this comminity, something we have not had for a long time.
The team meets up with Salem Hills for their first home match on Tuesday, Sept. 2nd. The meet will begin around 3:30 p.m. at the Price city tennis courts off of 3rd East.

PAWTUCKET — Despite a last minute plea by the union to stop it, the Purchasing Board voted 3 to 2 Tuesday night to award the bid for the city's trash and recycling services to a private contractor, MTG Disposal of Seekonk, Mass.
The vote to approve drew an immediate reaction from dozens of city sanitation workers and other members of Local 1012, who hurled angry comments and harsh words at the members of the Purchasing Board.
Many also voiced their displeasure at Mayor Donald Grebien, who did not attend the meeting despite being an ad hoc member of the Purchasing Board.
To chants of "Shame! Shame on you!" and "It's not your job being lost!" several pointed fingers at the three who voted for the bid award and accused them of doing so because they were "Grebien appointees."
Those voting to approve the awarding of the bid were John Sawyer and Pablo J. Rodrigues-Masjoan, while City Councilor Lorenzo Tetreault and Ann McCarthy voted in opposition. Finance Director Joanna L'Heureux, the other ad hoc member of the Purchasing Board, also cast a vote in the affirmative, breaking the tie.
The vote capped several months of contentious meetings between the union, the city administration, which was pushing for the privatization efforts, and the City Council, which maintained that it should have had the final say over the approval of the trash contract, rather than the Purchasing Board.
Grebien, Director of Administration Antonio Pires and Public Works Director Lance Hill consistently maintained that the proposal by the low bidder, MTG Disposal, would save the city at least $800,000 to $1 million a year over keeping the trash and recycling services in-house.
The union, through Local 1012 president Augie Venice, made several different proposals to the administration to show that they could do the job for less than MTG, including a new plan that was submitted just Monday.
Venice outlined the latest numbers to the Purchasing Board on Tuesday prior to the vote, but Hill disputed most of them, saying that a subsequent analysis by DPW supervisors turned up several discrepancies in the union's savings estimates.
Following the vote, Venice and J. Michael Downey, executive director of Rhode Island AFSCME Council 94 that Local 1012 is part of, said they would be exploring legal options to try and stop the city from going through with the privatization.
Pires, who arrived at the meeting just after the vote took place, maintained that the administration would make good on its stated goal of not laying off any sanitation workers because of the privatization. He reiterated that between filling vacancies and attrition, only about six or seven sanitation workers would actually be displaced, and said the city would make every effort to find these people other jobs.
Pires said that while he understood that the employees were angry, he maintained that the privatization is the best way for the city to go to save money. He said he believed that once the new trash service was in place, the city's taxpayers would also come to agree that the privatization was the right decision.
Pires said now that the Purchasing Board had approved the bid, the administration would go ahead and enter into negotiations with MTG Disposal to come up with a contract.
City Council President David Moran, one of several councilors to attend the meeting, said later that while he wasn't surprised by the Purchasing Board's vote, he thought more time was needed for a thorough review of the proposal. "I feel bad for the union. They have given up a lot for the last six years," he stated. He added that he expects the council to continue a discussion about the trash and recycling contract, particularly since the council is the body that appropriates funding for the trash and recycling services.
Ironically, during the meeting, at around 6 p.m., the Fire Department received a report of a fire in one of the city's trash trucks parked behind the DPW garage on Armistice Boulevard. A Fire Department spokesman confirmed the call about a fire but said the cause was still being investigated (the cause could not be learned as of press time).

With the Xperia X1 still fresh in people's minds and the Xperia X2 not even on the market yet it looks like the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 might be released in January 2010. The Xperia X3 looks like it will be the first Android from Sony Ericsson.
We actually saw our first glimpse of the Xperia X3 a few months ago when images of the Sony Ericsson Rachel hit the web. It is rumored to have an 8 mega-pixel camera built in, WiFi, GPS, microSD expansion, email support for POP3 and even Microsoft Exchange.
I guess for now we will just have to wait see when Sony Ericsson makes the official announcement on the Xperia X3.

CANTON Traditional Arts in Upstate New York is getting ready for the holiday season by continuing 9-year-long traditions and starting some new ones as well.
The nonprofit organization, 53 Main St., will be setting up its first-ever holiday showcase next week.
This is an expansion of the Folk Store for six weeks, said Jill R. Breit, executive director of TAUNY. Were going to be carrying more work by the artists people expect to see here and also carrying the work of people we dont normally carry.
Ms. Breit said that TAUNY has been hearing more often of artists having a difficult time finding places to sell their work.
TAUNYs involved with a regional project right now to really try to strengthen the arts and creative economy in the 14 northern counties of the state, she said. We thought, for the holiday season, we would try expanding our retail store into the exhibit gallery and close the exhibit down a few weeks earlier than we normally would.
Sara J. Ricalton, Folk Store associate, said the plan is to open the showcase during the Friends Reception Nov. 15, which is by invitation only and is a way of saying thank you to the people who have donated money and supported TAUNY over the years.
For the holidays, we thought it would be neat to try this new concept because we dont have another exhibit coming in, Ms. Ricalton said. Its a way for us to offer some larger pieces that we wouldnt normally be able to have in the store because of space.
From wooden furniture to framed artwork, handcrafted bowls and ceramic pieces, the holiday showcase will mean increased exposure for artists and more sales opportunities for TAUNY, according to Ms. Ricalton.
Were hoping to get new traffic with people who havent been here before that stop in and give it a try, Ms. Breit said.
The holiday showcase will be open until Christmas Eve.
TAUNY also will be sponsoring an annual gingerbread workshop from 9 a.m. to noon this Saturday at Canton Presbyterian Church, 17 Park St.
The workshop has been taught by Susan J. Wilder, Stormville, for the past nine years. She comes into town with loads of candy and bring the parts of the houses as well, according to Ms. Breit.
We started doing that because we have an annual gingerbread house contest and display, Ms. Breit said. We realized that a lot of people had never made gingerbread houses before, so we thought that we should teach them how.
The gingerbread contest will begin Dec. 7.

2007 Mercedes-Benz R-Class Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2007 Mercedes-Benz R-Class R350 Wagon at this time
2007 Mercedes-Benz R-Class R350 Wagon cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

|7 Devils and Committee to talk lease today
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Thursday, 28 June 2007 16:53
A committee formed to discuss the Golf Course property's possible lease to the Town of Seven Devils is to present its findings today at 9 a.m. in the town chambers.The property, owned by the Cottoms, has caused quite a bit of discussion among citizens who want the golf course to return to Seven Devils.
The plan currently in the works is for the Cottoms to lease the golf course property for six months in the summer and use it for expansions at Hawksnest Ski Resort during the winter. Lenny Cottom last estimated the lease to cost the town around $100,000 a year to cover the property's mortgage. While he may temporarily cut the lease in half during the first couple years as the golf course prepares to reopen, Monday Cottom said he did not think the lease would be lower than $100,000 in the long run. He claimed the lease would be the smallest fraction of costs that include renovations, reparation of the drainage system and operation of the golf course. Cottom said the town should consider those costs before even thinking about a lease.
Both sides hope to know the feasibility of a lease, one way or the other, by the meeting's conclusion today.

Could tougher charter school scrutiny leave at-risk student behind?
Edge High School senior dropped out of school at 15, but returned 3 years later.
Reporter: Valerie Cavazos
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) -- Arizona's charter schools are now facing tougher scrutiny, but one Tucson school is worried that at-risk students might get left behind. Edge School was one of 27 charter schools put on a probation list for not meeting graduation and standardized testing requirements. But administrators argue their students need more time.
19-year-old Samantha McAnally is a senior at Edge High School. She makes A's and B's in many of her classes and plans to graduate this year, but she wasn't always a stellar student.
Samantha told KGUN9 that she "dropped out of school at 15."
Samantha said she had bounced around a handful of traditional and charter schools -- making poor choices that affected her grades. Frustrated -- she left school and went to work. "So after about two or three years, I said no I can't do this. I don't want to work here until I'm 40. I gotta get something going."
Principal Rob Pecharich said, "she came back (to school) because her education was important to her." He said Samantha is typical of a student who attends Edge High School. Most students dropped out or were at risk of doing so and many came in way below grade level. "So in essence, we take can take a high school age student and help remediate their skills. It's not uncommon for students to enroll with us doing math at a third grade level and reading at a 5th grade level."
So for most students, the chances of wearing a cap and gown in four years are slim. "So our challenge is our grad rates are never going to be stellar. It's not an excuse, but we are taking in older students, typically taking in older students, typically juniors, seniors, sometimes fifth year seniors, who are two full years deficient in credit and stand very little chance of graduating on time," said Pechrich.
Now under tougher scrutiny by the state, Edge administrators had to present a performance management plan to the board after one of its campuses did not meet state mandates. "Every year we have to go and explain why we didn't have an 80 percent grad rate. We have to explain why our students struggle to pass the AIMS math test," said Pecharich.
Pecharich said although school records show student performance improves each year, he hopes the state's new direction to hold charter schools more accountable doesn't leave the at-risk population behind. "I think we what we hope for is that we never forget the impetus for the charter school movement in Arizona and that it is about school choice. And from that I hope there is a conversation that there is a place for all schools."
