Danny Chen
U.S. Army, via Associated Press
Danny Chen, an Army private, was found dead in a guard tower on a base in Afghanistan in October 2011 from what the military described as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Army officials said Private Chen killed himself after being hazed by fellow soldiers. In December 2011, the Army charged eight soldiers in Private Chen's battalion, including one officer, in connection with the death. The array of charges included manslaughter and negligent homicide.
There were two investigations into Private Chen's death: one conducted by the regional command, which resulted in the charges, and one by the Army's Criminal Investigation Division.
Private Chen's family had already been told by investigators that other soldiers had taunted Private Chen with racial epithets and forced him to crawl on the ground while they pelted him with rocks. But in January 2012, new details of his treatment were disclosed to the family.
At a news conference, family members and their supporters said Private Chen had been mistreated virtually every day of his six-week stint in Afghanistan. They said he had been called a "gook," a "chink" and "dragon lady." He was also forced to wear a green helmet and shout orders in Chinese, to a battalion that had no other Chinese-American soldiers, they said.
Private Chen's death touched off strong reactions in the Asian population in New York and around the country, with some advocacy groups questioning whether a pattern of discrimination against Asians exists in the United States military. Chen, born to immigrant parents, was the only Chinese-American in his unit.
Military Trials Close With a Plea Agreement
The courts-martial in the Chen case began in July 2012 with the trial of Sgt. Adam M. Holcomb, who was found guilty of maltreatment and assault. The jury, however, acquitted him of the most serious charges.
Sergeant Holcomb was sentenced to 30 days in prison, demoted a rank and forced to forfeit one month's pay. He had faced a sentence of up to two years in prison and a punitive discharge.
Four other soldiers received demotions and prison sentences for their treatment of Private Chen, and two received demotions but avoided prison time.
In December 2012, Army officials said that under a deal with prosecutors, First Lt. Daniel L. Schwartz, the only officer to be implicated in the death of Private Chen, would avoid a trial but be thrown out of the military.
Lieutenant Schwartz, who was Private Chen's platoon leader, was accused of dereliction of duty for failing "to foster a climate in which everyone is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of race" and "failing to prevent his subordinates from maltreating and engaging in racially abusive language," according to the charging documents.
He was also accused of failing to report two soldiers for consuming alcohol in violation of military rules and failing to report one of those soldiers for "recklessly" detonating a hand grenade near their base.
Officials, citing confidentiality rules, did not reveal the full terms of the plea agreement.
The case was the last of eight to stem from the death of Private Chen.
The Trial of Sergeant Holcomb
The trial of Sgt. Adam M. Holcomb revolved around what caused Private Chen to take his own life.
Military prosecutors asserted that Private Chen's motivations for killing himself took shape after his arrival in Afghanistan in August 2011. Sergeant Holcomb, they said, made Private Chen miserable by subjecting him to racial harassment and hazing.
"You've seen the last six weeks of Danny's life," Maj. Steve Berlin, one of the prosecutors, told the jury during closing arguments. "No wonder death seemed like the only option."
Sergeant Holcomb's lawyers, however, contended that Private Chen was despondent because of his failures as a soldier and because he had a fraught relationship with his parents.
"Private Chen killed Private Chen," said Capt. Anthony Osborne, one of Sergeant Holcomb's lawyers, during closing arguments.
Defense lawyers said Private Chen's personal troubles were evident before he went to Afghanistan.
Pvt. Bryan Johnson, a soldier in Private Chen's unit who became a close friend, testified that Private Chen was excited to deploy. But he also described an incident in which he found him curled up in the fetal position on his bunk.
Private Chen told his friend that his parents had disowned him because he was about to deploy to Afghanistan. Defense lawyers said Private Chen told at least four other soldiers the same thing.
Though Private Johnson said his friend had rebounded by the next day, defense lawyers argued that this episode revealed that Private Chen's relationship with his parents was undermining his duties.
Private Chen's parents testified at the trial that they had never disowned him.
In Afghanistan, Private Chen was "ostracized," said the prosecutor, Major Berlin.
He was so weak and inexperienced that he was not allowed to go out on patrol, fellow soldiers testified.
He also made frequent mistakes, soldiers said, and was repeatedly subjected to "corrective training."
Prosecutors argued, however, that Private Chen's inexperience was normal for someone new and that the problem lay with the way superiors were addressing his deficiencies.
In a pivotal incident several days before Private Chen's death, Sergeant Holcomb, angry with him, yanked him from his bunk and dragged him across the outpost, soldiers testified. Private Chen's offense was leaving the shower's water pump on. The assault count and one count of maltreatment related to the dragging incident. The other maltreatment count related to Sergeant Holcomb's use of racially disparaging terms.
Several days before his death, Private Chen told a fellow soldier that he was so fed up with the treatment he was receiving at the hands of Sergeant Holcomb and other superiors, he was contemplating suicide, according to testimony.
On Oct. 3, 2011, he shot himself while on guard duty in a tower.
According to the doctor who performed the autopsy, a message was scrawled in black on his forearm: "Tell my parents I'm sorry."

ALBANY, NY - New York State Education Commissioner John King says the Buffalo City School District's plan for teacher evaluations has now been approved by the State Education Department. The approval came just hours before the deadline set by Governor Andrew Cuomo.
In a statement released Thursday afternoon King said "The new evaluation plan is great news for Buffalo teachers, administrators, parents, and most important, Buffalo students. It's a strong step toward helping teachers and principals improve their practice, which will in turn help students improve their performance and build a better future. Our goal is to make sure every student graduates from high school ready to succeed in college or careers. Buffalo's evaluation plan is a major step toward helping Buffalo students reach that goal."
Governor Andrew Cuomo previously issued a statement on Thursday that there will be no extensions or exceptions. His statement read: "The remaining districts and their unions have until midnight tonight to do the same (98% of districts have implemented such agreements in place) or they will forfeit the increase in education aid they have been counting on and both parties will have failed the children they serve."
The Buffalo district has already missed out on $26 million in funding since no agreement was in place with the Buffalo Teacher's Federation (BTF). An APPR agreement was required for the district to receive certain funding from the state and federal governments.
Getting an agreement on the teacher evaluations was a major problem for the district and union. The BTF had previously rejected plans that would evaluate students based on standardized test scores from students with poor attendance. Students with English as a Second Language, or ESL students, being factored in has also been a concern. But now an approved plan is in place.

A Disney fan who developed a following by posting videos of himself exploring backstage areas of theme parks was banned from Disney parks after a confrontation with security.
His videos, which he posts online under the name "Adam the Woo," have attracted thousands of views, and his fans have started an online petition to get the ban overturned.
In his latest video, Adam says he was confronted by Disney security and asked not to return.
"I've always been a Walt Disney fan. I've been a fan for over 30 years, so it's kind of depressing that I'm not allowed to go back," he said.

Series Description: MARKET TO MARKET will continue the tradition that's made it one of the longest-running series on public television and the longest-running agricultural program anywhere - solid reporting about the issues that challenge agriculture and expert analysis of major commodity markets that fuel the economic engine of rural America. Despite the fact that agriculture and rural enterprises represent important sectors in nearly every state's economy, rural America's stories are given scant attention by the nation's traditional media. That's why MARKET TO MARKET'S broad range of reporting - from global trade conflicts to environmental controversies to new technologies to emerging rural economic initiatives -- is so important. As important are the series' experienced market analysts who provide thoughtful insight about price trends and offer strategies to help producers and processors cope with changing times. Mike Pearson returns as host and is nationally recognized for his agribusiness acumen and rural expertise.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- On Thursday, D.C. Councilmember David A. Catania released a statement after certificates of occupancy were issued for a medical marijuana cultivation center and a dispensary in the District.
The medical marijuana cultivation center will be located at 1840 Fenwick St, N.E. and a medical marijuana dispensary will be located at 1334 North Capitol Ave, N.W., according to Catania's office.
In a press release on Thursday, Catania said:
"Yesterday's issuance of the certificates of occupancy put us, at long last, at the threshold of an operational medical marijuana infrastructure in the District. Individuals suffering from painful, chronic and life threatening diseases will soon be able to access the medication they need right here in the District. While the process has taken longer than anyone would have liked, I am pleased that we now appear to be only a few short months from the existence of a responsible, well-regulated medical marijuana program. I am proud to have championed the effort and look forward to the day that individuals enduring pain and suffering every day will be able to obtain the effective treatment they require."
Catania introduced the "Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Initiative Amendment Act of 2010." A compromise bill was drawn up in January 2012.
Once the cultivation center getsthe Certificate of Occupancy and has a pre-opening inspection and registration from the District's Department of Health, it can start to grow medical marijuana. According to Catania's office, DOH requires the plants to be at 60 days old before they are harvested.
DOH says more than 100 D.C. physicians have "expressed interest" in participating in the program.

Lymphedema After Breast Cancer Surgery
In this article
How Is Lymphedema Diagnosed?
Lymphedema is diagnosed after a careful evaluation of your medical history, including past surgeries and treatments, an evaluation of current medications and symptoms, and a complete physical exam. Sometimes, additional tests may be needed.
How Is Lymphedema Treated?
Lymphedema treatments vary, depending on the stage and cause of the illness. The most important aspect of treatment is learning how to care for your general health. Your doctor or nurse should teach you how to follow your prescribed treatment.
If the initial signs and symptoms of swelling are caused by infection, antibiotics may be prescribed. Other treatments may include bandaging, proper skin care and diet, compression garments, exercises, and manual lymphatic drainage, a gentle form of skin stretching/massage.
How Can I Help Prevent Lymphedema?
Lymphedema can often be prevented or controlled by following these recommendations:
Maintain good nutrition
- Reduce foods high in salt and fat.
- Include at least two to four servings of fruits and three to five servings of vegetables in your daily meal plan.
- Eat a variety of foods to get all the nutrients you need.
- Use the package label information to help you to make the best selections for a healthy lifestyle.
- Eat foods high in fiber such as whole-grain breads, cereals, pasta, rice, fresh fruits, and vegetables.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Maintain your ideal body weight. A registered dietitian or your health care provider can help calculate your ideal body weight.
- Avoid alcoholic beverages.
Exercise regularly
- Always check with a health care provider before starting a new exercise program.
- To improve cardiovascular fitness, you should perform aerobic activities (including walking, swimming, low-impact aerobics, or specially prescribed exercises) for a total of 150 minutes a week.
- Take time to include a five-minute warm-up before any aerobic activity, and include a 5-10-minute cool-down after the activity.
- If your normal exercise routine includes upper body weight lifting, check with your health care provider about the best time to resume this activity, as well as any weight restrictions.
- Discontinue any exercise that causes unexpected pain. If your arm on the side where you had surgery becomes tired during exercise, cool down, then rest and elevate it.
Avoid infections
- Wear gloves while doing housework or gardening.
- Avoid cutting your cuticles when manicuring your nails. Use care when cutting your toenails.
- Frequently wash your hands with soap and warm water, especially before preparing food, and after using the bathroom or after touching soiled linens or clothes.
- Protect your skin from scratches, sores, burns, and other irritations that might lead to infection. Use electric razors to remove hair and replace the razor head frequently.
- Use insect repellents to prevent bug bites.
- Immediately report any signs of infection to your health care provider.
Stay alert for these signs of infection:
- Fever over 100.4 degrees F (38 degrees C)
- Sweats or chills
- Skin rash
- Pain, tenderness, redness, or swelling
- Wound or cut that won't heal
- Red, warm, or draining sore
- Sore throat, scratchy throat, or pain when swallowing
- Sinus drainage, nasal congestion, headaches, or tenderness along upper cheekbones
- Persistent dry or moist cough that lasts more than two days
- White patches in your mouth or on your tongue
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Flu-like symptoms (chills, aches, headache, or fatigue) or generally feeling "lousy"
- Trouble urinating: pain or burning, constant urge, or frequent urination
- Bloody, cloudy, or foul-smelling urine
Avoid tight clothing, shoes, or jewelry
Women should wear well-fitted bras; bra straps should not be too tight, avoid underwire styles, and wear pads under the bra straps if necessary. Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and avoid tight hosiery. Wear watches or jewelry loosely, if at all, on the affected arm.
Avoid heavy lifting with the affected arm
Avoid repetitive movements of the affected arm (such as scrubbing, pushing, or pulling). Do not carry a purse or bag on your shoulder (the side where you had surgery).
Keep your skin meticulously clean
Dry your skin thoroughly (including creases and between fingers and toes) and apply lotion.
Take precautions during visits to your health care provider
- Ask to have your blood pressure checked on the unaffected arm. And avoid injections or blood drawing on the surgical side if possible.
Inform your health care provider of any symptoms
Notify your health care provider if you have redness, swelling, a skin rash, or blistering on the side of your body where you had surgery, or if you have a temperature greater than 100.4 degrees F (38 degrees C). These warning signs of infection could be an early sign of lymphedema and should be treated immediately.

ORLEANS-The Lake Region Rangers withstood a late game rally by visiting Richford, and held off the charging Falcons 8-7 for their fifth victory of the season.
Ranger catcher Corey Whitten made two big throws late. The first picked off a Richford runner at third with one out and the second nailed a stealing Falcon baserunner at second for the games last out.
The Rangers had built an 8-4 lead on the strength of three hits by Whitten and a pair by Jake Smith.

Duck hunters are reminded that pintails may not be taken in Utah from Nov. 8 through Dec. 24. Utah's pintail season will resume Dec. 25 and continue until the state's 2002-2003 waterfowl season ends on Jan. 18, 2003.
"Pintail numbers have remained low over the past decade and the number of pintails hatched and successfully raised this past spring was down from the previous year," explained Tom Aldrich, waterfowl coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.
"Because of that, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has shortened pintail seasons across the country this year."
States in the Pacific Flyway were granted a 60-day pintail season, which is the longest in the country.
"After receiving comments from the public and the division, the Utah Wildlife Board decided to split Utah's 60-day season and provide the state's hunters with early and late season pintail hunting opportunities," Aldrich said.
"The first part of the pintail season ends Nov. 7, but Christmas holiday and late season hunters can hunt pintails again, beginning Dec. 25."
For more information call the nearest DWR office about the specifics.

Car-Freshner Corp. has filed a federal trademark infringement lawsuit against a California company that it claims is selling scented automotive sprays under the same name patented by the Watertown company for spray air fresheners.
Car-Freshner, which has its headquarters in the Jefferson County Corporate Park, filed suit Thursday in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, against Surf City Garage Inc., Huntington Beach., Calif., claiming that the company is undoubtedly familiar with Car-Freshners trademarks and previously has been caught appropriating Car-Freshners intellectual property.
At issue is the use of the name Black Ice, which Car-Freshner has patented for use on its well-known Little Trees air fresheners, as well as on spray fresheners offered in both cans and bottles. According to the suit, Surf City Garage offers auto detailer in spray bottles under the Black Ice name and a tire gloss in a squeeze bottle under the name.
It is claimed that Surf City Garages products are offered for sale on the companys website and at automotive retailers nationwide.
Car-Freshner claims Surf City Garages use of the Black Ice name dates back to at least February 2010, when the California company allegedly advertised its air fresheners with the promotional slogan, Now you can finally say goodbye to that overpowering pine tree. It further is claimed that in December 2010, Surf City Garage filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to register Black Ice in connection with products that clean and protect exterior vehicle surfaces.
According to the suit, the patent office issued a final refusal to allow Surf City Garage to register the Black Ice trademark, citing the likelihood that doing so would cause confusion with Car-Freshners trademarked products.
The trademark examiner said that the final refusal was not only to prevent buyer confusion as to the source of the goods, but to protect the registrant from adverse commercial impact due to use of similar mark by a newcomer. A request for reconsideration of the ruling filed by Surf City Garage also was denied, but the products are still being offered for sale, Car-Freshner claims.
Car-Freshner is asking a judge to order, among other things, that the California company stop infringing on its trademark and either destroy or turn over to Car-Freshner any products bearing the trademarked name.
The company also is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the lower chest. Heartburn can be caused by different conditions, but most often it is related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Heartburn is caused by stomach acid that moves up into the esophagus. A muscle at the top of the stomach allows food to enter the stomach. This muscle also closes to prevent food and acid from moving back up into the esophagus. Certain conditions can keep this muscle from closing completely, which allows acid to flow out. This causes heartburn.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of heartburn include:
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Exercising or strenuous activity immediately after eating
- Lying down, bending over, or straining after eating
- Pregnancy
- Prior surgery for heartburn
- Diabetes
- Scleroderma
- Certain nervous system disorders
- In-dwelling nasogastric tube
Foods and beverages associated with heartburn include:
- Alcohol use disorder
- Caffeinated products
- Citrus fruits
- Chocolate
- Fried foods
- Spicy foods
- Foods made with tomatoes, such as pizza, chili, or spaghetti sauce
Medications and supplements associated wtih heartburn include:
- Anticholinergics
- Calcium channel blockers
- Theophylline, bronchial inhalers, and other asthma medications
- Nitrates
- Sildenafil
- Bisphosphonates
Heartburn symptoms usually occur after overeating or lying down after a big meal. The symptoms may last for a few minutes or a few hours.
Common heartburn symptoms may include:
- Burning feeling that starts in the lower chest and moves up the throat
- Feeling that food is coming back up
- Sour or bitter taste in the throat
Other symptoms and complications of reflux include:
- Sore throat
- Hoarseness
- Chronic cough
- Feeling of a lump in the throat
- Asthma
- Waking up with a sensation of choking
- Difficulty swallowing
If reflux persists, the acid can damage the esophagus. Symptoms of esophageal damage include:
- Bleeding and ulcers in the esophagus
- Vomiting blood
- Black or tarry stools
- Inflammation and scarring of the esophagus
- Barrett's esophagus—precancerous condition that can lead to esophageal cancer
- Dental problems, which may occur because of the effect of stomach acid on tooth enamel
When Should I Call My Doctor?
It is common to experience heartburn occasionally. If you have heartburn at least 2 times per week, make an appointment to see your doctor. Call your doctor if you have any symptoms of heartburn complications.
When Should I Call for Medical Help Immediately?
Heartburn and chest pain due to a heart attack can feel similar. Call for emergency medical services right away if you have:
- Squeezing or chest pressure
- Pain in the left shoulder, left arm, or jaw
- Trouble breathing
- Sweating, clammy skin
- Nausea
- Weakness
- Lightheadedness
- Pain that starts during activity or stress
If you are not sure of the cause of any pain in your chest, call for emergency medical services right away.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may be able to make a diagnosis based on your symptoms. Your doctor may also take images of your esophagus or stomach with an upper GI series. A sample of your esophagus may be taken and sent for examination. This is often done during an endoscopy.
Other tests may include:
- 24-hour pH (acid) monitoring
- Manometry to test muscle strength in the lower esophagus
Talk to your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment will depend on what is causing your heartburn. Treatment may focus on preventing heartburn from occuring or repairing damage causing the heartburn.
Lifestyle Changes
To help decrease the indicidence of heartburn:
- Keep a food diary of what you eat and what the reaction is. Make gradual changes to your diet and record the results.
- Avoid foods that trigger heartburn symptoms.
- Eat smaller portions.
- Allow at least 2-3 hours between meals and lying down, and exercise.
- Lose weight.
- Quit smoking.
- Avoid belts and clothing that are too tight. This may increase pressure on the abdomen.
- Elevate head of bed 6-8 inches.
Medication may help relieve symptoms and repair any damage to the esophagus. Many prescription heartburn medications are available over-the-counter. Your doctor may recommend the following.
- Proton-pump inhibitors block acid production in the stomach
- H-2 blockers decrease the amount of acid secreted by the stomach
- Antacids neutralize stomach acid
If symptoms are severe and you cannot tolerate medication, surgery may be an option.
The most common surgery for heartburn is fundoplication. The doctor wraps the stomach around the esophagus. This creates pressure on the muscle at the opening to the stomach.
An advantage of endoscopic techniques is that they do not involve incisions in the skin. Instead, the doctor inserts a lighted device called an endoscope through the mouth and down the esophagus. The doctor can perform one of a variety of procedures with this scope to decreases the backward flow of stomach acid into the esophagus.
If surgery or endoscopy is successful, you may no longer need heartburn medication.

RENSSELAER FALLS The one-acre plot for the proposed village playground in the 300 block of State Street, behind Chapins Country Market, 102 Canton St., officially was acquired on Tuesday.
Playground Committee members still need funds to assemble the playground and to purchase matting and fencing before it is ready for use.
So, a can and bottle drive to raise the money has been set for 3 to 8 p.m. July 10.
The equipment was purchased from BYO Recreation, Florida, for $18,000.
It includes slides, monkey bars and a climbing station. The equipment is being stored in the wastewater treatment center, property the village owns, until it can be assembled.
We are so close to construction time, but we still need the money for installation and equipment, committee member Renee L. Limoglio said.
The old wooden playground at 107 State St. was demolished last year due to safety concerns.
Grassroots fundraising efforts since then, spearheaded by committee members Jolene M. LaSiege and Mrs. Limoglio, have raised more than $19,000 for the new equipment.
With the children being out on summer break, what better time to have them burn off some energy and help out? Mrs. Limoglio said of the bottle and can drive. It also will teach them that volunteering is a great thing. After all, this playground is for them; let the kids feel like they are helping.
There will be a collection trailer at McAllisters Liquors & Wines, 213 Rensselaer St.
For those of you who are having a graduation party or Fourth of July party, this is a perfect time to get rid of your empties while helping out a great cause, Mrs. Limoglio said.
Anyone wishing to give cans and bottles before July 10 can contact Mrs. Limoglio or another committee member to arrange for pickup.
The committees last bottle drive raised enough money to purchase a seven-person teeter-totter and a hexagonal jungle gym.
That was in one bottle drive, Mrs. Limoglio said. Every little bit helps.
The committee said it is looking for volunteers to assemble the equipment.
We would love to have it up for the summer, but with the amount of volunteers we have on hand, its hard to do that, Mrs. Limoglio said. Right now we are looking for local manpower and contractors who would volunteer to do the installation.

CANTON There was good news for the St. Lawrence University hockey team on Wednesday as senior captain Kyle Flanagan returned to the ice.
Flanagan, who had been sidelined since last Tuesday when he had surgery to remove his appendix, skated with his teammates during an evening practice as the Saints prepare for their ECAC Hockey first-round playoff series against Colgate this weekend.
Its very good news, St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel said. Its probably the best case scenario we can have at this point.
A Hobey Baker Award candidate as well as junior linemate Greg Carey, Flanagan received the green light earlier in the day when he visited his doctor.
Its great to be back, the Canton native said before Wednesdays practice, wearing a yellow non-contact jersey. It was tough to watch last weekend obviously the guys missed me and I missed them. But now Im healed and ready to go.
Flanagan, however, hasnt been yet been cleared for game action, and his status to return for the home playoff series against Colgate at Appleton Arena is being treated on a day-to-day basis.
Hes OK to skate to see how he feels, Carvel said of Flanagan, who nationally is tied for third in assists (28) and points per game (1.35) and stands third in assists per game (.90). Well go through the paces here for two days and see if there are any repercussions. He says hes feeling good, so were optimistic.
They said there was no reason that I couldnt go this weekend, said Flanagan, who has posted 42 points and 28 assists in 31 games this season. Its obviously great news, but at the same time Im still taking small steps I was out for a week and I still have to be a little cautious.
After not traveling with team in its regular-season weekend finale this past weekend, Flanagan rejoined his teammates on Monday during a team workout. He spent some time working out on a stationary bike and had a short non-practice skate on Tuesday.
It would be nice to have him out there this weekend, Carey said. But his health is the most important thing right now. But he seems chipper and he seems in good shape. ... guys then to heal pretty fast when they want to get back in the lineup, so well see what happens.
Flanagan entered the hospital Feb. 26 in the morning, and had the successful procedure later that evening.
Im one of those kind of guys who just goes with the flow, Flanagan said. I cant control what I cant control, so fortunately I was able to check in early at the hospital. The appendicitis wasnt too inflamed and it wasnt close to rupturing. But at the same time if we let it go, it could have. The timing was frustrating, but at the same time, Im back for the playoffs.
Flanagan is happy to be back on the ice and is hopeful hell return to action on Friday. Im playing, he said. But well know for sure by game time.
Well have to see how it goes, Carvel added. Its day to day, and even if he does play Friday, you dont know if hell be available for Saturday. Its completely unknown at this point.
Sixth-seeded St. Lawrence needs Flanagan back, although his teammates insist theyll be ready for the best-of-3 playoff series against 11th-seeded Colgate, with Game 1 and Game 2 at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with Game 3, if necessary, on Sunday also at 7.
Hopefully this will be redemption for all of our guys who are back, said Carey, who leads the country in goals (26) and power-play goals (12) and points (48). And its a chance for our freshmen to experience what its like having a playoff series at home. It should be a lot of fun this weekend.
Without Flanagan, the Saints were swept 5-1 at Union and 4-1 at Rensselaer.
It was a rough weekend, Carvel said. We played two good teams on the road and didnt play as well as were capable of. Carey was sick and Kyle wasnt there, so we were far from a full team.
St. Lawrence, which had hopes of earning a first-round bye, instead finished in a tie for fifth-place with Dartmouth, with the Big Green getting the fifth seed via a tiebreaker.
This is the Saints highest finish in ECAC Hockey regular-season play since the 2009-10 team was fifth. St. Lawrence went on to place fourth in the league tournament.
We love playing at home, Flanagan said. Even though we didnt play our best hockey last weekend, were still going into this series confident and we feel were still playing our best hockey of the year.
Last year, St. Lawrence went on a run in February by generating a five-game winning streak to secure eighth place in the league and home ice in the first round, only to be swept by Dartmouth in two games.
This season starting in mid-January, the Saints went lost only once over an 11-game stretch at 8-1-2, which included a six-game unbeaten streak (4-0-2) as well as winning four straight games through Feb. 22.
In the ECAC I dont care who youre playing or where youre playing if youre not at the top of your game youre not going to have success, Carvel said. Hopefully we learned some lessons from last year.
Since then, St. Lawrence has lost its past three games and was outscored 9-2 in its past two games without Flanagan. The playoffs are a new season, Carvel said. Everybody is going to be reenergized and has to be ready.
St. Lawrence is 1-0-1 against Colgate this season, including a 4-2 victory in Hamilton on Nov. 30, and a 3-3 tie at Appleton Arena on Feb. 2.
We know Colgate plays a real fast game, Carvel said. So we have to be ready to move with speed and really want the puck and theyve got very good special teams. ... I like the fact that we can play either a physical or high-tempo game were capable of playing either style.
Its crunch time now, either we win or go home, Flanagan said. Playoff time is an exciting time.

CANTON The St. Lawrence County clerks office is accepting documents that are filed electronically through three state-approved vendors.
Its going to be a benefit for the county and the customer, County Clerk Mary Lou Rupp said. Right now, were just using it for land records. Its mostly going to be for attorneys, title companies or banks.
The clerks office has been set up to accept e-documents for about a week but has not received any yet. It took Franklin and Niagara counties, which also accept e-documents, about three weeks for their first submission, Mrs. Rupp said.
Electronic document recording allows offices to reduce costs, eliminate payment errors, receive prompt payment and increase staff productivity. Document submitters also benefit from shorter wait times, fewer document rejections, faster rejection handling and more secure transmission of documents, according to Corporation Service Co., one of the approved e-recording vendors. The other vendors are Simplifile and eRecording Partners Network.
Potential users sign up on the websites of one of the vendors. Anyone with a computer, Internet connection and scanner/printer can e-record.
Its a different kind of mail delivery. Its a choice, Mrs. Rupp said. Its nice for people because the original document never leaves their hands.
If there is something wrong with a document, it can be sent back electronically immediately without waiting for traditional mail or delivery service.
They can return it within minutes, Mrs. Rupp said.
Before electronic submission, documents had to be either brought in personally or mailed.
Electronic submission will also save the clerks office some time because employees will not have to open mail, scan it and return documents, Mrs. Rupp said.

Developers, athletes and users now have access to video streams, mobile cloud computing, schedules, results, and medal count information and much more.
Mobile has very quickly caused a cataclysmic shift in today's technology landscape, giving way to a new breed of consumers who expect information and services, literally right at their fingertips.
In just about every major Winter Olympics event, the difference between gold and some other color of medal usually comes down to a tenth of a second. Keeping track of all those results and then broadcasting them out to the world is a vast ecosystem of APIs that connect everything from video streams to mobile computing applications all over the globe.
It's hard to find something if you don't know what you're looking for.Just ask professional recruiters tasked with finding the elusive chief digital officer (CDO). A recent Gartner poll of executive search experts found that uncertainty about what's expected of a CDO results in flawed searches for these digital leaders. Many business leaders realize the importance of going digital, but that's where their clarity (and experience) ends.
SUMMARY:Watches, garages and data privacy are all topics of discussion in this weeks podcast featuring The Pebble Steel, a connected garage door opener and Sam Ramji of Apigee discussing business models for the internet of things.
Throwing a hackathon is a great way for companies to get their name and products out to developers, but it shouldn't be the only outlet to engage them. "Hackathons are not the be-all and end-all," said Scott Regan, Apigee's developer programs leader. "Way too many companies launch hackathons and then that is it, there is nothing after that. A hackathon is meant to be one small event in a larger plan."
You've spent tons of time and effort building your website. So when you add content, features, or functionality, you naturally focus on your website first. Wrong move. Smart businesses now think mobile first. Here's another in my series where I pick a topic and connect with someone a lot smarter than me. This time I talked to Chet Kapoor, CEO of Apigee, a provider of API technology services for developers and enterprises. (Basically they build products powered by data to deliver applications.)
Driving down Highway 1 on the Big Sur coastline in Northern California, it's easy to miss the signs that dot the roadside. After all, the stunning views of the Pacific crashing against the rocks can be a major distraction. The signage along this windy, treacherous stretch of road, however, is pretty important -- neglecting to slow down to 15 MPH for that upcoming hairpin turn could spell trouble.Careful planning and even science goes into figuring out where to place signs, whether they are for safety, navigation, or convenience. It takes a detailed understanding of the conditions and the driving experience to determine this. To help drivers plan, manage, and correct their journey trajectories, interstate highway signs follow a strict pattern in shape, color, size, location, and height, depending on the type of information being displayed.
When Apigee moved to San Jose from Palo Alto, it joined a growing cadre of technology firms downtown.We were curious to see what Apigee, a provider of enterprise API management products, was going to do with the 41,000 square feet it leased at 10 Almaden Boulevard. So when Apigee invited us up for a visit, we wanted to share the view.
An enterprise can have the best, most agile, scalable and capable IT system in the world, but if an end user can't access or utilize the functionality as needed, it's all for naught. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was right about a lot of things, but the most important one is that IT has to be as simple as possible to use. But what is an application? For the consumer, the term "app" may bring to mind Angry Birds, Snapchat or Instagram, but apps are equally integral to the development and use of enterprise IT. An app could serve a CRM function internally, a customer portal, or even a machine-to-machine back end. In fact, there are many lessons we've learned in today's app economy that are relevant to the way IT works—whether the app addresses employees, partners, or customers. This slide show—based on eWEEK reporting and industry information from API provider Apigee—discusses how to bring the app economy to your company to improve functionality and efficiency.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- On January 1, 2012, for the first time in decades, the sale, use and possession of consumer fireworks were made legal in Maine.
It took till March 1st for the state's first fireworks store to open, with business owners forced to meet strict building codes and regulations and get the proper permits in place before they could open their doors.
State Fire Marshal, Joe Thomas, met with members of the Joint Standing Committee on Criminal Justice and Public Safety on Friday to provide them with his findings. He is required by law to report any fireworks related incidents to the legislature yearly.
He says it is difficult to gauge how the law change has impacted the state because there are no numbers to compare this past year's statistics to. In his report, he noted that eleven fires in Maine in 2012 were sparked by fireworks. Another thirty-eight wildfires were reported by the Maine Forest Service to have been caused by fireworks as well.
What Thomas found most disturbing was the number of serious injuries caused by improper use of fireworks. He says hospitals reported nineteen fireworks related injuries last year, but is not sure if that number provides a full picture of what is going on because the hospitals participation in reporting fireworks related injuries is voluntary.
Thomas says the one thing he is certain of, is that more needs to be done to educate fireworks users.
"We've got to ramp up education here because we've really, for lack of a better way to put it, we have got an ignorant population using consumer fireworks," Thomas stated. "The seriousness of the injuries that I did have reported to our office required that I take some type of action to be able to see that we can try to address those issues."
Seventeen fireworks stores are open across the state now, but the legislature is examining the law allowing their sale and use and heard testimony on five sperate bills this week that seek to change the law. While a couple of the proposed bills want to change when and where fireworks can be used, one seeks to restore the ban on fireworks.
The uncertainty about the future of fireworks in Maine has caused concern among business owners, like Steve Marson, who has invested millions of dollars to open his five Pyro City Fireworks stores.
Marson says his employees offer advice to customers about the products they sell and his stores are equipped with videos and kiosks that demonstrate what each piece can do and how they should be used. He has also put on demonstrations for fire fighters and town councilors in an effort to spread awareness.
"I think the thing that we need to continue to do, and we are very engaged in that, is educating the public," said Marson. "You have got to be mindful and respectful of neighbors and you have got to understand everything about it."
He says now that the novelty and newness has worn off he hopes the noise over fireworks will die down.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
With an early lead and a spark that seemed to be missing from their season opener last week, the Carbon High Football emerged from halftime looking to grab their first win of the season on a smoke-filled evening from wildfires around the state.
After scoring on their first possession of the game, Carbon High was unable to reach the end zone again as ALA (1-1) hung around for three quarters before capitalizing on Carbon High miscues and turnovers leaving the Dinos with a hazy outlook after a 29-6 loss on Friday evening. Carbon High wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard as the offense put together an 81-yard drive which ended with a fourth down touchdown pass from quarterback Dakota Cisneros to wide receiver Zac Hathaway, who was open in the middle of the end zone. But, in what would be a problem for Carbon High all game long, the snap on the ensuing point after attempt was botched leaving Carbon High with a 6-0 lead five minutes into the game.
"It was a gutsy call especially on fourth down but it worked out for us," said Carbon High head coach Jeff Blanc.
The touchdown by Hathaway broke a two-game scoreless streak for Carbon High that dated back to last season.
Carbon lead onto a 6-3 late in the third quarter but a series of miscues, turnovers and penalties swung the momentum in the game from Carbon to ALA in only a few minutes.
Here's a rundown of how the game turned in ALA's favor:
â¢Carbon High punter Jordan Blanc punted on fourth down with 4:21 left in the third quarter. The ball went straight up in the air and was downed at the CHS 9-yard line with no net gain. The Carbon High defense kept ALA out of the end zone resulting in a field goal that tied the game at 6-6.
â¢On Carbon High's next possession, on fourth down from inside their own red zone, the snap on a punt attempt sailed over a Carbon player into the end zone resulting in a safety for ALA, who took an 8-6 lead with 2:26 left in the third quarter.
â¢On fourth down in Carbon High's red zone, an ALA field goal was good to take a 11-6 lead. But a referee threw a flag on Carbon's Cisneros for leaping over the line in an attempt to block the kick, thereby giving ALA a first down. On the next play, ALA senior quarterback Briggs Fulton scored on a 10-yard run to take a 15-6 lead with 10:41 left in the fourth quarter.
â¢On Carbon High's first play on the following drive, a Cisneros pitch to running back Jordan Blanc went awry as the ball bounced past Blanc and ALA recovered the ball in the Carbon High red zone. Two plays later, Briggs scored again on a 4-yard run to extend the lead to 22-6 with 10:06 left in the fourth.
â¢A few minutes later, another high snap sailed over the head of Cisneros as ALA recovered the ball deep in Carbon High territory. ALA scored a few plays later as senior running back Carter Henderson scored on a 25-yard run to seal the game for ALA.
Blanc said despite the final score, the team played much better this week. However the penalties and turnovers prevented the team from having a shot to win in the end, he said.
"We played a lot better overall, but we really shot ourselves in the foot with the penalties, bad snaps and turnovers late in the game," Blanc said noting the team finished with a total of 85 penalty yards.
Blanc said the team put more emphasis on the ground game as the Dinos finished with 123 yards rushing, which is a 100 yard improvement over the season opener against Grand High. Jordan Blanc led all Carbon High rushers with 106 yards followed by Cisneros with 21 yards. Blanc also led the team in receiving yards with 105 yards on four receptions and Hathaway added two receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown.
Cisneros went 6-of-23 for 136 yards passing with one touchdown and no interceptions.
Blanc credited the defense with keeping the team in the game down the stretch.
"We were night and day better on defense this week," he explained. "Our defensive line did a much better job stopping the run."
Blanc said the offense will need to work on getting cleaner snaps when running a play as well as working on getting the ball into the end zone when they reach the opponent's red zone.
"Sometimes you can have an off night and for us that's what happened," he said. "We have to minimize penalties and mistakes. We did good things this week and we need to build upon the positives."
Carbon High (0-2) will look to stop their tough start to the 2012 season as they travel on the road to play Ben Lomond (0-2) on Friday night at 7 p.m.

No introduction is necessary to Ex Bootneck's story. Only know it involves practical jokes, Royal Marines, and latrines:
Standard issue camouflage 'wind proof smocks and trousers' were hidden by the wearing of arctic 'cam whites', an invaluable aid to arctic conditions, but also a double edged weapon (more of which I will explain as the tale goes on).
I have some great memories and photographs from operating in Norway through Arctic Winter Warfare Training. My first bewildered issue of winter warfare clothing was as a novice prior to deploying to Norway, for a Mountain & Arctic Winter Warfare Training and Survival Course. All ranks not trained in this dark art are sent on a novice course that includes arctic survival, tactical movement, and ski-ing on 120mm long 'planks' whilst balancing a 100Ib bergan and weapon; up, down, and across country.
On my novice course I shared a ten-man tent with ranks combined from marine up through to Lt. Bright (USMC), a R.M. Major, and the Brigadier of 3. Commando Brigade R.M. (a marines marine and a real growler)! Each and every novice abided by the code of 'rank has no privilege', arctic temperatures dictate the same policy that all men are equal. The daily 'beastings' issued from the RM Mountain Leader instructors (of the Mountain & Arctic Warfare Cadre) required each novice rank to trust and rely upon each other to get through and survive.
Upon completion of the novice course (there are those that become arctic unsuitable; a career changer for most); each individual would continue to train within their respective qualification, i.e. Fighting Company, Signals, Heavy Weapons, Stores, Clerks, etc. R.M. Commando Units spend three months of every year on winter deployments, which supplied many adventures, broken bones, torn ligaments, tales of woe and absolute hilarity.
The 'dit' that follows has been 'sanitised' as much as possible to protect the feeble minded, weak, and insane readers who may be of a flushed disposition!
Imagine if you will…
A ten-day warfare scenario in arctic conditions; from blizzards and 'white outs' to dead still calm bright days.
A Commando Unit in advance to contact, defence, and then a fighting withdrawal. To survive in such arduous conditions five thousand calories a day are required as fuel to keep the body from burning muscle. Exhaustion and sleep comes easy, though morale is always at a high because of the 'wind-up's and 'bites' played upon each other. (Joshing)?
Sunrise in the Arctic is 08:00, and sunset 15:30hrs. The nights are long and drawn out, with the air temp falling downward to minus 10 to 25 degrees on average, this is without the wind-chill factor.
The snow in and around the endless forests could be between 4' to 6' deep; in parts it could lay up to 10'. In white out conditions being caught several feet away from your tent & essentials can be the difference between life and death, it is so easy to become disorientated and slowly freeze to death as you wander in the wrong direction.
The rule on every deployment is to operate a tactical clean and tidy routine, which meant designating a single breast outer pocket for wrappers, and a bergan pouch for ration pack debris; gash is never ditched or buried. Every individual enforces and abides by this rule.
Each evening after dark, where possible, collapsible cardboard 'crappers' would be provided around each company location, a necessity and essential for health and hygiene.
But; not for the old and bold 'arctic foxes', who preferred the old school way of a shovel used as a leaning/straining bar, and polythene bags as depositary's. These 'arctic foxes' would deposit the same after wards into the 'crapper' as it was more convenient than carrying it in an outer pouch of their bergan.
(Where it would lie frozen until a suitable time came for disposal).
One of my 'arctic fox' section corporals (Pete) insisted on taking his tactical 'toilet duty' every evening at 19:00hrs. Fully equipped and armed with a soft toilet roll, polythene bag and shovel, he would venture several feet away from our four-man tent to 'prepare and adopt the stance'.
As an 'arctic fox' Pete would often say, "how else can you see how your body is functioning without seeing what you have laid"? Which was true in a sense, but those of the 'new way' much preferred to 'sit and hum' in cardboard town!
One evening as the temperature plummeted, a tactical halt was called to the exercise as white out blizzard conditions were expected for a couple of days. Such a break was a cause for merriment as going 'non-tact' meant that naked light discipline was no longer enforced, which allowed small naphtha filled tilly lamps to be used within the four man tents. This light added to the heat and glow of naphtha cookers, which always lifted spirits.
Regular as clockwork at 19:00hrs Pete readied him self and departed the comfort of the tent. Just after 19:20hrs Pete returned in a somewhat flustered state. His cam-whites where in disarray, with the elasticated sleeves on his trouser legs pulled up to his shins. His story and cursing (in proper London cockney rhyming slang) had me in a fit of laughter as he explained his mishap.
He went on to explain how he picked his position in the dark, (except for the light of a quarter moon and the low glow from a nearby tent), and tamped down the snow around his 'delivery' spot, which then allowed him to part bury the polythene bag. He sunk and readied his shovel and tested the angle to offer the best support, he then dropped his cam-whites & windproof trousers & adopted the half squat-seat position; he commenced thus to do what a full arctic ration pack is designed to do to the human body.
After which he 'wiped and polished', placing the used paper material at the base of the shovel. He pulled up his sets of trousers, and turned to place the used paper into the depositary bag in the snow, only to notice the bag was there, but there was no deposit?
Yet he knew he had indeed made one, it just wasn't there!
The agony of realising that he may have made the absolute novice mistake of 'depositing' within his cam-whites mortified him. He had to conduct a hand search & check, to his utter relief this was not so… The golden rule is that you do not expose bare flesh in the arctic unnecessary, especially tender bare skin, so he returned post-haste to the tent completely mystified…
His story and antics in the tent had me in absolute tears as he described his tale of woe and loss… he still insisted in checking his trousers in the better light of the tent, but to no avail.
I suggested that his deposit must be there outside somewhere? Of which he replied "it isn't mate, I searched, I even got down on me bloody hands and knees for a better look around and there was nothing"!
I was laughing so much that I had to get out of my cosy arctic sleeping bag as I needed to pee. As I got to a 'stick in the ground pee-point' I heard mirth and muffled laughter coming from a nearby tent. I unzipped the entrance and stuck my head in to see four marines in their 'bags' in absolute hysterics, each trying not to laugh out too loud. I asked if they where they laughing at Pete's demise (you can hear every thing through a tent wall even in a gale). They were, only that was only part of it.
They went on to explain that two of them had left their tent before 19:00hrs and waited for Pete to exit from our tent. Wearing their full white camouflage they took a wide headed white plastic shovel and sat behind what they hoped would be Pete's selected position.
From 'real' close by they watched Pete go through his ceremony, and then when he adopted his stance and 'motioned' one of them caught it on his shovel and deftly, silently, withdrew it away keeping it at arms length. They then stayed motionless behind the base of the tree, while poor Pete mumbled & chuntered and searched, questioning his loss and sanity in utter disbelief.
They watched him panic as he searched his cam-whites, and had to fight hard not to erupt into laughter.
As he departed they deposited their 'result' into a nearby 'crapper' and returned to their tent.
It was too much for me to bear, I had to let go with a belly laugh, which set the four of them off uncontrollably, the more we tried to stop laughing the worse it became, my sides were aching so much I had a stitch, hot tears were streaming down my burning cheeks.
The following day the tale of Pete's 'tom tit' became legendary, (poems were written about Pete, and the mystery disappearance of nature's depositary).
Pete responded by ensuring the four marines caught up the company's 'cardboard crapper' disposal detail, which at the end of a winter thaw is not that pleasant.
Poor Pete. . .

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- From education to energy to taxes, Gov. LePage outlined his top priorities in his State of The State Address Tuesday night.
LePage told lawmakers and a statewide TV and radio audience that all of his proposals are part of what it takes to make Maine more prosperous.
He pleaded with legislators not to roll back his tax cuts, and to continue to pay Maine's hospitals the hundreds of millions of dollars owed by the state. LePage promised a renewed focus on alternative, inexpensive forms of energy such as natural gas. And he repeated his call for more choices for students, such as charter schools.
"The public schools, no matter what we say, are not getting the job done," LePage said. "Not only do we need to give our children more options, we need to improve the outcomes in our schools."
LePage also talked about domestic violence, an issue he always speaks passionately about. He is creating a new task force to find ways to have abusers surrender their firearms.

Why not just remove and re-install your nfs packages.
Jim H
So, in the continuing saga of my attempt to set up linux through PLIP on a laptop, I seem to have damaged NFS somehow on my desktop. When trying to start nfsd I get Portmap: Connection to localhost timed out.
eep. I have to admit, I've overstepped my bounds here. I'm lost. I think I've reversed all the changes I'd made, but still I get this. Anyone know how I can fix this short of nuking the system and starting over again?
Why not just remove and re-install your nfs packages.
Jim H
did so, but.. hmm.. maybe I should try again... :-\
Woo.. that did it.. reinstalled the nfs-utils package and the portmap package, and now I seem to be okay. ;D
Ah Linux, even when you destroy it, it stands strong.

Thanks, everyone! I was so frustrated by the car thing that I went out and spent way too much on sushi at a restaurant within walking distance of my apartment in Indy.
Yeah, a return to VTR is in order, for sure. I realized, somewhat belatedly, that "VTR" means next to nothing in the context of this thread. I was referring to "Velvet Tango Room", a very lovely bar not far from Momocho. Actually, "bar" sounds far too vulgar - Lounge? Speakeasy?
I guess they're sort of "Latin" (Tango in the name), and they serve some lovely drinks made with 10 Cane, a Trinidadian rum. Don't let the nay-sayers put you off, the mixed drinks with 10 Cane are lovely. Classic Daiquiri comes to mind. The Old Cuban sounds a bit whack, but I'm game for trying it.
