The Sheltering Sky
by Bowles, Paul
At the beginning of The Sheltering Sky, a married couple, Port and Kit Moresby, and their friend Tunner arrive in North Africa shortly after the end of World War II. As New Yorkers in an unfamiliar land, the Moresbys seek adventure together, but more importantly they hope to strengthen their troubled marriage. However, soon after arriving, it becomes apparent that their self-interest, the inclusion of the handsome Tunner on the journey, and the stress of life in a strange land will likely prevent them from achieving their goal.
As in most travel novels, the main characters encounter a host of odd and interesting personalities, but as the trio moves deeper into the Sahara, you begin to see that this novel is not so much about a group experience, but about the individual feelings of loneliness, despair, and dread that can impact a person's existence. As the story progresses, we find that this is ultimately Kit's tale and that the feelings of impending doom she has throughout the novel will materialize in ways that neither she, nor the reader, could have ever imagined.

Carly's Voice: Breaking through Autism
by Fleischmann, Arthur & Carly
Carly Fleischmann was diagnosed very young with autism and went for years being wild and out of control, without speaking, although there was often a gleam of intelligence that popped through between wild episodes. Her parents devoted their lives and resources to getting her good teachers and caregivers; but things still looked hopeless until at age 10, she realized she knew enough words to type on a laptop. Her first typing was, "HELP TEETH HURT." Over the next several years, she learned to express herself and slowly was able to get her caretakers, parents, and autism specialists to understand what she was going through and had been going through all of her life. She eventually appeared on television shows as an advocate for children with autism. She is now a high school student in gifted classes and a constant internet presence, answering questions about her condition. She still cannot speak, but she has found her "voice" through writing.
This is an incredibly moving and valuable book. I would think this is essential reading for any parents of autistic children, anyone who works with autistic children, and anyone just trying to understand the variability of the human mind.

Watermelons: The Green Movement's True Colors
by Delingpole, James
Environmentalism has become so much a part of our lives that most of us give it no more thought than fish do about water. But what if the whole "global warming" movement were a scam, a sort of mass hysteria designed and promoted for the purpose of taking power?
According to James Delingpole, author of Watermelons: The Green Movement's True Colors, that is exactly what it is. "Watermelons" are people who are "green" on the outside, "red" on the inside—they may claim they want to "save the planet," but in reality they want to dominate it. Environmental organizations such as The World Wildlife Foundation and Greenpeace are not, as they purport to be, tiny helpless organizations fighting against corporate greed. They themselves are massive, greedy corporations that amass billions of dollars. To further their goal of assuming world power, these eco-communists utilize junk science, character assassination, and lying. Delingpole warns, "taxes will be raised, your liberties curtailed and your money squandered to deal with this 'crisis.'"

Daniel McEvoy is an Irish bouncer at a seedy casino in New Jersey. He's not crazy about his job, hates his boss, and really hates the new hair plugs that are driving him crazy. And all of that was before his favorite hostess, Connie, is killed in the parking lot. McEvoy is sure he knows who the killer was, since a recent customer hadn't been pleased that Connie had rejected his overtures. But really, overtures involving barbecue sauce? Who could blame her? As he investigates, McEvoy is pulled deeper into the underbelly of New Jersey crime. He's plagued by real-life arguments with his lovely but certifiable upstairs neighbor Mrs. Delano, and the constant nattering of his sketchy doctor friend, Ghost Zeb (conversations that take place in McEvoy's head, but annoying nonetheless). It's too late to save Connie, but McEvoy refuses to give up on rescuing his friend Zeb. Colfer has created a world that is sometimes gritty and sad, but often laugh out loud funny.

Atlantic: Great Sea Battles, Heroic Discoveries, Titanic Storms, and a Vast Ocean of a Million Stories
by Winchester, Simon
His publisher calls this a biography of the Atlantic Ocean, and indeed this tale spans its life from geological beginnings on to its expected demise 140,000,000 years hence. The book's scope seems as broad as the ocean itself, including a thousand years of human history and natural phenomena occurring on, in, and above it.
And Mr. Winchester is up to the task; he has spent most of his life on the Atlantic and its islands and shores, as well as reading the nearly 200 books cited in his bibliography. An engaging and colorful writer, he has filled the book with personal anecdotes, facts, and bits of trivia about history – commercial, military, natural, economic, and social.
He makes a persuasive case that the Atlantic is the axis of western civilization as was the Mediterranean Sea for classical civilization, and he describes some of the problems that civilization has created. The once inexhaustible supply of codfish has gone the way of the once inexhaustible supply of buffalo, and we do not yet know how tolerant the ocean will be of the oil spills and other pollutants that are disgorged into it.
It is a fascinating, erudite, and entertaining read.

Under $100: BBQ
With summer lurking on the horizon, suddenly your Who What Wear editors are realizing that we've become a little distracted. Memorial Day is so close you could almost kiss it, so it's no wonder that our minds are preoccupied with thoughts of lazy weekends full of sunbathing, picnics, and backyard barbeques. Inevitably, all these musings lead us to the question of what we should wear to these upcoming warm-weather gatherings. While denim and gingham may be fabrics commonly associated with barbeques of yore, this season we urge you to take a more modern approach to casual, outdoor dressing and look to Louis Vuitton's S/S 10 collection for inspiration. Instead of plumbing those aforementioned classic American fabrics and prints this season, Marc Jacobs instead showed a wonderful assortment of military separates mixed with gypset touches that added up to a super-chic global nomad look. All in all, it's a perfect show to channel right now, so for today's story we tracked down a slew of spot-on pieces that will keep you on budget and looking effortlessly stylish all summer long!
MinkPink Skirmish Tank ($51)
While the delightful mish-mash of exotic prints and tribal embellishments at Louis Vuitton might have been inspired by foreign locales, they can be easily interpreted for a soiree in your own backyard. Simply start with a softly tie-dyed tank, like this racerback version by MinkPink in blue and yellow, then add army green accent pieces and natural accessories (like a straw sun hat or a pair of feather earrings) to create your own version of the LV look.
ASOS Frankie Fringe Sandals($59)
If mixing prints and patterns isn't your style, you can still try the tribal trendÂ--all you need is a little fringe! These flat, strappy sandals from ASOS offer an understated, but still bold, way to get this key spring look, plus we love their ultra-flattering blush color! Wear them with your favorite solid-color separates or an outrageously patterned ensemble, either way you'll look totally current and cute!
French Connection Sunrise Weave Clutch ($48)
Something about summertime always sends us on the search for the next great straw bag, and this season a smart clutch feels right. While it definitely doesnÂ't pack as much of a punch in the storage department as an oversized beach bag, this French Connection bag makes up for it with its sleek streamlined shape and chic contrasting stripes!
Topshop Zebra Feather Drop Earrings ($30)
Immediately after seeing these feathered Topshop earrings, they jumped to the top of our must-have list! While the delicate feathers invoke a decidedly bohemian air, the zebra print and chain details keep them from veering into predictable hippie territory. We can envision them dressing up an elegant black dress, but they're equally suitable for a floral tunic and denim cutoffs.
T by Alexander Wang Classic Muscle T-Shirt ($78)
We can always count on Alex Wang to provide us with completely wearable casual pieces and this basic dark green tee really delivers! ItÂ's a great warm weather interpretation of the military influence seen all over the runways, and its classic shape is something that can be worn year round. We recommend styling it tucked into a printed mini, or worn loose over trouser shorts.
Bop Bijoux Made With Love Bracelets ($32)
Created through the Made With Love project, these recycled rubber bracelets are not only eco-friendly, they're also the fruits of a fair-trade initiative in Western Africa. Women in Mali make each set of 18 handcrafted bracelets, and part of the proceeds goes to a center for homeless children in Senegal. Aside from the ideological reasons to buy them, who wouldnÂ't want to adorn their wrists with such beautifully crafted art?
Lucky Brand Koko Wedge Sandal ($99)
Flats are usually our shoes of choice whenever lawn-walking is involved (oh, the dreaded heel sink!), but whenever we prefer a little height, a wedge is our go-to footwear alternative. Of course, when the wedges are as cool as this eye-catching woven design by Lucky, we might forsake flats forever. We're wild about the black-and-white patternÂ--it's a welcome variation from typical neutral cork or raffiaÂ-- plus the price is simply perfect!
Delia's Sophie Skirt ($40)
We were pleasantly surprised to find this adorable polka dotted skirt from DeliaÂ's because it provides yet another option for incorporating mixed prints into your summer wardrobe. Paired with a tribal-inspired top, it is sure to make a sizzle at your next summertime bash.
Juicy Couture Pompom Tassels Straw Sun Hat ($88)
The multicolor pompom embellishments on this straw hat remind us of the bright fur tassels adorning the accessories at the Louis Vuitton S/S 10 show. Much like the way those unexpected accents made the shoes and bags stand out on the runway, the textured pop of color dangling from this wide brimmed hat has the same effect. Indeed, we can see this hat transitioning from a day at the beach to a laid-back summer barbeque very smoothly!
Cheap Monday Halterneck Bikini ($45)
The insanely affordable price tag on this Cheap Monday bathing suit is almost as alluring as its vibrant turquoise shade! Yet, there is still more to loveÂ-specifically, the halter neck and gathering at the bust add some girlishness to the fairly minimal silhouette. We can picture it as a chic underpinning for a gauzy dress, which makes it the perfect piece to take you from the sand to an al fresco lunch.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil ($17) in Mildew
This line of colorful eye pencils from Urban Decay is truly obsession-worthy, as it offers both a smooth application and smudge-free staying power. Right in line with the army green accents seen on the spring runways, this deep forest green hue would look lovely blended along the lash lines and paired with a soft coral lip. Â--Natalie Yost

|Concerns Mount for Missing High School Students
Two Catawba County High School seniors are missing, not heard from since early Saturday morning, and concerns mount with every hour. Bandys Seniors Jake Ziegler, 18, Ray Pierce, 17, left a party in the Sherrills Ford in southeastern Catawba County in the early morning hours
Saturday to drive to Myrtle Beach—and then back, according to the Catawba County Sheriff's Office. The last contact with the pair was a 2:44 a.m. Saturday in a text message that a friend received a text from Ziegler's cell phone. Investigators say the text call pinged off a cell tower in Rock Hill, S.C., the last clue to their whereabouts. Calls to the phone now go straight to voicemail. When the two did not return Saturday morning, the boys' fathers, reported them missing; Joe Pierce at the Catawba Sheriff's Office and Zig Ziegler in person at Myrtle Beach Police. The Catawba Sheriff's Office says there has been no reported activity on either boy's debit card. The Catawba County Sheriff's office issued a poster with the boys' pictures and of the car they were driving, Ziegler's green 2006 Pontiac G6, with N.C. license tag BBD8844. Bandys students are distributing fliers as well as searching.

Abbey Road...Buckingham Palace...the Tate... WhoWhatWearDaily craves not these things. It is with shameful pride that we confess that our favorite part about London is Topshop. Almost everything there is cheap and chic, and best of all, unavailable Stateside (no one will know how little you shelled out for your sweet outfit).Topshop has always had a website-albeit awful. They didn't list all products available, the pictures were difficult to decipher, and you weren't completely sure that what you'd order would turn up on your doorstep. Fortunately, much like recent improvements in British National Dental Care, Topshop now has a full-service online store that is extremely user-friendly and has a much improved appearance.
We wish H&M would get it together and join the virtual shopping world too. Until then, Britannia rules. www.topshop.com
From the Editors' Desk (yes we share one):
Perhaps this goes without saying, but there are several things to keep in mind when ordering clothes from Topshop. All prices are in pounds, so you'll need to convert (there are many websites devoted to this) to get the American price. All items are in UK sizes, so don't forget to check their "size chart" to get the right fit. Katherine has found that the Topshop shoes run a bit small, so if you are on the fence about that half size, go up.

NYI BEAT DEVILS, ON 3-GAME POINTS STREAK$50: Tix, Dinner, Schremp, AMac at SOCIAL Tuesday
FANHOUSE: Isles snap 14-game winless streak
$50: get game ticket, dinner, autographs, meet-and-greet with Rob Schremp and Andrew MacDonald

Mention Point Blank for discount
The Islanders are now on a three-game points streak, and are just eight points out of the final playoff position in the Eastern Conference.
If it took beating the equally beat-up Devils today to end the 14-game losing streak, so be it. The Islanders needed a victory any way they could get it and, frankly, the Islanders players and coaches deserved some sort of break after a month of hell. They also needed the psychological lift with six days before their next game.
Playing a New Jersey team without Zach Parise, Martin Brodeur, Jamie Langenbrunner and with a lost-at-sea Ilya Kovalchuk, the shorthanded Islanders won today's matinee, 2-0, behind goals from Jesse Joensuu and Rob Schremp. Rick DiPietro had his third consecutive solid outing in goal, looking especially sharp in the third period to maintain the shutout while the Islanders were out-shot 13-1. As usual, give DiPietro credit for having the presence of mind to acknowledge the fans after the game for sticking with the team through the 14 losses.
Radek Martinek and Mark Eaton each logged more than 25 minutes for Jack Capuano, who earned his first victory in the NHL as a head coach.
The Islanders play a home-and-home against the rival Rangers next Thursday (at the NVMC) and Friday (at MSG).
This Tuesday, November 30th, SOCIAL (across the street from the Coliseum) is hosting a special event for hockey fans. For just $50 – a special price exclusively for Point Blank readers, included are Islanders game tickets, a three-course meal from Danny Gagnon of "Top Chef" and personal visits to your table by center Rob Schremp and defenseman Andrew MacDonald.
Autograph requests and the taking of photographs are highly encouraged.

AT&T has confirmed that all pre-orders of its iPhone 4 have now been sold out, which is not really surprising considering the expected demand for it. In a released press release AT&T has confirmed that all pre-orders for the iPhone 4 have been completely sold out and although users still have the ability of ordering their Unlocked IPhone 4 through the internet, these would not be shipped until a later date, which would be after the 24th, the launch date of the iPhone. However, if you are a diehard Apple iPhone fan, you can still stand in line for phone on launch date.
The fact that there has been immense demand an interest in the iPhone 4 has resulted in yesterday being the busiest day in AT&T's history. If you are a customer that has placed an order with AT&T for a preordered iPhone 4, chances are that you will get it only after the 25th due to the massive rush. Says a representative of AT&T, "Since all preorder sales of the iPhone 4 have been booked, we are planning on emailing customers that have recently placed their orders for confirmation. Once their order has been shipped, we will once again email them. At the same time, all iPhone 4 devices will be made available on a first come first serve basis from 24th June onwards."
The amount of hype that has been generated by the iPhone 4 preorder has been immense and so it is safe to say that any leaked prototypes or glitches in the AT&T system did not affect demand. Considering the fact that many of those planning n purchasing the iPhone 4 must have recently spent money on the iPad suggests that Apple is laughing all the way to the bank. Previously the iPhone 3 and the Unlocked IPhone 3GS 32 GB had both sold more than one million devices in the first weekend and so it will not be surprising to see Apple's latest model do better.

POTSDAM Village Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis said Friday that he will need several weeks to consider how to respond to town voters rejection of a new recreation taxing district.
I dont honestly know where to go from here. Im going to take a few days to sort of let the results settle in, and to try to talk to some people and ask why they voted the way they did and try to understand the results of the referendum better, and go from there, Mr. Yurgartis said.
The village had planned to turn over control of Pine Street Arena and all other recreation equipment to the town. In addition, the town would have picked up the salaries of all recreation workers, although the village would have continued to pay part of the benefits for long-serving employees.
All of this hinged on voters approval of a special recreation taxing district, which would have given the town the funds it needed to manage the program. Voters on Thursday shot down the idea, with 464 votes against compared with 407 in favor, and the memorandum of understanding between the town and village is moot.
The village has little time to decide how to handle recreation. The proposed 2014-15 budget includes recreation funding only through December.
It appears there are a lot of people who dont want to pay for a public recreation program, Mr. Yurgartis said.
For now, the village is left with an aging arena it might no longer wish to fund, and employees for a program that might not exist next year.
Its possible someone else might want to run that program. Its possible we put that thing in mothballs. Its possible we work out some kind of other sharing agreement with the town. I just dont know yet, Mr. Yurgartis said.

|ASU opens SoCon Tournamnent vs. COC
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Sunday, 23 May 2010 08:16
The Appalachian State University baseball team pulled off the series sweep against Wofford to close out the regular season.The Apps (35-16-1 overall; 14-14-1 in the Southern Conference) completed the assault by taking a double-header from the Terriers on Saturday. ASU won the opener 13-4 and the Mountaineers were just as dominating in the second game as they battered the Terriers 10-3 down in Spartanburg, SC.
Chris Alessandria, who was the hero on Friday night with a three-run home run that gave ASU a come-from-behind 7-6 win in the series opener, continued this hot hitting by homering and driving in six runs in game one. The Apps also pounded out 21 hits in that game. Tyler Zupcic had four hits; David Towarnicky and Jeremy Dowdy both went deep.
ASU broke the game open with six runs in the eighth inning.
In game two, Wes Hobson had two hits and drove in three runs. Ryan Arrowood went four innings, gave up an earned run on six hits and struck out four to pick up his seventh win of the year.
But despite the season-ending sweep of the Terriers, the Apps are still a No.7 seed heading into the SoCon Tournament, which begins on Wednesday at Riley Park in Charleston, SC. ASU will play College of Charleston, the No.2 seed, in the opening round. Western Carolina nailed down the No.6 seed as the Catamounts (16-13-1 SoCon) pulled off a three-game sweep of their own against Davidson.
WCU defeated Davidson 11-2 on Saturday in Cullowee on Senior Day. The Catamounts will open SoCon Tournament play against the No.3 seed, Georgia Southern, which won the tournament last year.
ASU takes on COC at 9 am Wednesday morning. Our coverage begins at 8:40 am on WATA 1450 AM.
NOTES: By winning 35 games this season, the Mountaineers posted their best regular-season record in 24 years.....The Citadel won the SoCon regular-season championship this weekend as the Bulldogs by taking a pair of games from Georgia Southern on Saturday.....The Eagles finished in a two-way tie for third with Elon, but Georgia Southern wins the tie-breaker.....Furman secured the No.8 seed as the Paladins defeated UNC-Greensboro 11-6 in a game called in the eighth inning because of rain. A six-run second inning put Furman on top to stay. Furman begins tournament play Wednesday against the No.1 seed, The Citadel.

- Hits: 5967
The Adult Stem Cell Research (ASCR) Network is an internet-based project of the Cell Therapy Foundation designed to be a well-maintained and reliable source of information for physicians and the public regarding adult stem cell research. ASCR seeks to disseminate the latest scientific news in the adult stem cell arena, identify leading researchers in the field, and locate key clinical trials in order to help patients and research unite in a beneficial and timely manner.
Additionally, a future goal of the ASCR Network is to be a community of education and collaboration where news, ideas and research will merge in real-time with the aim of translating the best therapeutic practices to the patient in the most efficient, lay-friendly way possible.
While much progress has been made in the last few years, many therapies are still experimental and/or not ready for use in human trials. The Cell Therapy Foundation and ASCR Network seek to breach that gap by information sharing and collaboration. Consider partnering with us in this cause.

Let's see how easy it is to create an Internet Meme.
Think of a unique phrase, image, etc. and post it elsewhere and give us the details (where, when, etc). Then we all sit back and see how long it takes until it pops up somewhere else.
Try to use something related to the FSM. For example: when someone asks a rhetorical question, answer, 'But WWFSMD?'
I'm not promoting spam, please, this is just a fun exercise.

(WZZM) - With a bad real estate market over the past few years, chances are your house hasn't gone up in value much, if at all. In fact, there's an equally good chance that it hasgone down in value.
But what about your property taxes? Have they stayed the same or even gone up? After all, a good percentage of your property taxes is based on your home's taxable value.
Judy LaFave has been an assessor for35 years, nearly30 in Plainfield Township.
"First thing they want to do is come into the Assessor's Office and look at our property record card and make sure that it's correct - that all the amenities are correct - square footage, finishing the basement, number of bathrooms. That sort of thing that adds value. Sometimes there might be an error and we want to make sure it's corrected."
If everything is correct, you want to start doing comparables to other similar houses in your neighborhood, but you have to be diligent says LaFave. "It's important that they make sure it's truly comparable. It could just look like their house but when you get into the details of the home it may havemore, so it's important they make sure they're comparing apples to apples."
LaFave also reminds that what you may have paid for you house doesn't necessarily reflect the true taxable value of that home. LaFavealso advises that paying for a home appraisal, most of the time, isn't necessary.
Once you've done your homework and feel you have a legitimate gripe, you need to set up an appointment with your city's tax commissioners. In Plainfield Township, it's usually the second week in March and you have a fifteen minute appointment to present your case. Once you leave, you ruling will arrive in the mail. If you're not happy with the outcome, you can appeal your case again to the State Tax Tribunal, but for this, LaFave says you'll need patience.
"The Tax Tribunal statewide is very bogged down with appeals, so if they do that, they can't expect it to be heard in a real timely fashion."
There is some belief that appealing your taxable value to your city can actually hurt you and end up costing you more in property taxes, but LaFave says she's never seen that occur. "It is seldom we would discover something that would increase their value, and if the board decided to do that, they would have to have another time period for them to come in and appeal that new value and that's not going to happen."
LaFave says about 1 in 10 appeals actually works as the homeowner hopes, in getting their property taxes lowered. Ben Lewitt of Wyoming is one of them. Two years ago he noticed the taxable value of his 90-year-old home had gone up $656.
"I figured I should look into it because there's no reason they should be going up in an environment where obviously the houses are struggling to sell."
Ben did some digging with comparables in his neighborhood and spent $300 on an appraisal and what he found was astonishing."The house that had been valued at $85,000, I was kind of disgusted to find out it was only worth $30,000."
Ben presented his case to the Wyoming Assessor's Office and when his ruling arrived in the mail, he found his work had paid off. The city ruled his house was worth $35,000, just a little more than the $30,000 that his appraisal had ruled. So his property taxes also fell significantly. "It went down from approximately $1,800 (per year) before, now it's about $700."The silver lining to Ben's depreciating home value was that he's now paying less than 50% of what he was two years ago in property taxes.
For people who have a hard time paying their property taxes, they can also apply for a Hardship Exemption from the state of Michigan on a year to year basis.

After Obama-backed legislation imposing more infringements on the right to keep and bear arms suffered a crushing defeat in the U.S. Senate despite shrill media hysteria and the trumpeting of bogus polls, the president and anti-Second Amendment lawmakers are quietly working to revive the controversial push for gun control. So far, gun rights defenders in Congress are still standing firm, thanks to strong pressure from constituents. If Obama and his anti-gun rights coalition get their way, however, more restrictions on Americans' right to keep and bear arms are still in the cards.
At the state level, the polarization has become obvious. Out-of-touch governments in some states like Colorado and New York have passed draconian new restrictions on gun rights. In other states, however, lawmakers and governors are increasingly pushing for nullification of unconstitutional federal firearm statutes. Kansas, for example, recently passed a law to nullify some Washington, D.C., assaults on the Second Amendment. South Dakota passed a law allowing armed teachers at school. Numerous other states are pursuing similar pro-Second Amendment legislation.
In Congress, meanwhile, the gun-control agenda was dealt a stinging blow recently when senators from both parties voted to kill an "assault weapons ban" and "expanded background checks" that opponents said would be used to quietly build up a federal gun registry. The White House and a coalition of anti-Second Amendment zealots in the Senate, including some "RINO" Republicans like Sen. John McCain and supposedly "pro-gun" Democrats like Sen. Joe Manchin, however, have not given up just yet.
"My own little prediction: I think we're going to bring this bill back before the end of the year and I think you may find some changes," radical anti-gun activist Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. "We may change the bill a little bit, but I think you may find some changes out there in the public. Lots of senators who thought it was safe to vote against it because of the intensity are not so sure anymore."
Sen. McCain of Arizona, who voted with Democrats for the Senate legislation, agreed with Schumer, calling the measure "common sense." West Virginia Sen. Manchin, a Democrat elected on a pro-Second Amendment platform who has now been accused of betraying his supporters, also vowed on Fox News to resurrect his controversial so-called "universal background check" bill. "We're going to pass this thing," he said while sharing a stage with extremist MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. "Don't give up."

POTSDAM An attempt to revive Potsdams Bantam Junior Hockey Program has fallen by the wayside due to a lack of interest.
Last season was the first time in several years that the town had a Bantam team, open for 13- and 14-year-old boys.
Potsdam has had a hard time maintaining interest in the program, with most parents electing to enroll their children in the more competitive St. Lawrence Thunder.
We didnt really have big numbers over the last few years because of the Thunder, said Michael Grant, director of the Potsdam Junior Hockey Association.
Last year, the association triedto revive the team. It had enough players, but only just.
We had to work really hard to get that team last year, Mr. Grant said.
This year saw the creation of a new minor league Bantam team in Canton, which has lured away more Potsdam youths. Now there are only a few 13- and 14 year-olds who still want to play in Potsdam.
Some other people kind of beat us to the punch, Mr. Grant said of the creation of Cantons team.
Kids who still want to play Bantam hockey will need to travel to play for Norfolk.
None of this affects the health of Potsdams other youth hockey teams, including the four girls teams, four boys teams and a mixed beginners team, Mr. Grant said. The junior hockey association will continue to rent the same amount of ice time at Pine Street Arena.
According to Mr. Grant, the association still hopes to revive the Bantam team.
For now, though, Potsdam cant compete with other area teams that travel further to play and offer more options for competitive players and their parents.
Wed love to do it; its just so hard to compete with these other teams and what they offer, for the parents who are looking for higher-level hockey, Mr. Grant said.

LOWVILLE The motorist involved in a Tuesday morning accident in which an Amish baby girl died has been cited by the Lewis County Sheriffs Department with two traffic infractions.
Lacey E. Northrup, 27, Lowville, has been summoned to Harrisburg Town Court to face charges of following too closely and failing to exercise due caution when approaching a horse.
The vehicle struck an Amish buggy operated by the babys mother at about 7:50 a.m. Tuesday on Route 12 near Vary Road in the town of Harrisburg.
Primary cause would be driver inattention, saidUndersheriff James M. Monnat.
Mr. Monnat said the identities of the 9-month-old baby and her mother will not be disclosed because of the private lives of the Amish.
The baby, with head and internal injuries, was flown by Mercy Flight Central to Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, where she died. Her mother suffered a minor leg injury. Ms. Northrup was not injured.
The Countryside Veterinary Clinic euthanized the horse.
State police, Lowville firefighters and the Lewis County Search and Rescue team assisted at the accident scene.
It was the second serious crash in four months involving a buggy on Route 12 in Lewis County. In August, another driver faced similar charges after his car struck a buggy in Lowville, killing the horse and leaving a young Amish man with cuts and bruises.

Scientists say a modification to the design of lithium-ion batteries could allow batteries that can charge and discharge in a matter of seconds. Writing in the journal Nature, the team from MIT describe modifying the surface of a sample of lithium iron phosphate to improve the mobility of the lithium ions in the material. Before the processing step, a battery made from one sample of the lithium iron phosphate took six minutes to charge. After processing, batteries using the material were able to charge in under twenty seconds.
Fast-charging and discharging batteries could be of use in a variety of applications, from portable electronics to advanced cars. We'll talk about the work, and how soon it might be able to find its way into consumer products.

Prices vary based on delivery destination (it's a tax thing), so please change it if you're not shipping within United States as it might affect the price! (Why?)
The Glenfarclas whisky distillery draws its water from pure springs on the rugged Ben Rinnes mountain range, which looms omnipresent in the distant reaches. The distillery sits in the moors of Banffshire, just a mile from the River Spey. Glenfarclas has always been, and it seems will remain to be, one of Scotland's only family run distilleries. Accordingly, there is a strong degree of independence. Prized by connoisseurs, the single malt whiskies of Glenfarclas are matured almost solely in sherry butts and are aged in the substantial onsite warehousing facilities; the 28 warehouses hold 52,000 casks.
One of the few Scotch makers never to use exotic woods for maturation, Glenfarclas retains its integrity. The distillery was first founded in 1836 by Robert Hay. However, there is some evidence that there was a distillery on the site over a century prior. Following Robert's death in 1865, John and George Grant acquired the distillery for '511 pounds and 19 shillings'. They leased it to the Glenlivet's John Smith. John Smith chose to pursue his newly founded Cragganmore distillery instead and in 1870 Messrs Grant ran Glenfarclas once more.
After the Second World War, and the resultant abolition of rationing, the distillery's fortunes were good and in 1960 Glenfarclas doubled its stills to four. In 1972, the surge in demand left the onsite floor maltings less than ample to cope, accordingly malted barley was bought in. The whisky distillery has an extensive range of single malt whiskies, particularly so after the 2007 release of the Family Casks range with a bottling from every vintage between 1952 and 1994. The distillery also operates a visitor centre, lavishly decorated with items from the ocean liner 'Empress of Australia', the centre features a room named accordingly: 'The Ship's Room'.

I am writing this letter in response to Marlyn L. Stock's letter that was printed in the March 18 Sun Advocate.
In the letter I am accused of making statements that I did not make or imply, or using words (hippie and traitor) that did not appear in my letter. In my defense I simply urge anyone who might be interested to read my letter that was printed in the Sun Advocate March 4, then read Marlyn's and decide for yourself.

The Utah Division of Arts & Museums has awarded a $500 arts education grant to Cathy Wilson, a teacher at Helper Elementary. She was one of 15 teachers statewide who won the honor. The money is to be used to gain skills and knowledge in an artistic discipline of her choice.
In addition, the school received a $1,000 arts grant from the division, one of 21 awarded in Utah to schools, school districts and nonprofit organizations. The grant can support either 40 hours of artist-in-residence at the school or a comprehensive arts education project utilizing the services of artists or artistic companies.
"Arts education is critical to building our communities," said Margaret Hunt, Utah Division of Arts & Museums Director. "We are proud to be able to offer this financial assistance to help schools and organizations work with professional artists, gain innovative tools that can be used to reach learners, and ensure quality arts education in our schools and our communities."

I am currently coaching a 8-10 year old division, 5 on 5 game with five second wait before defense blitz, QB can run after the 5 seconds, Velcro single flag pull player is down division here.
Numerous teams have excellent QB's that can throw accurate long distances. I am experimenting with 2-3, 1-1-3 and 1-3-1 defenses.
Our biggest weakness is even after multiple games, scrimmages and practices my players are STILL letting people go behind them. This seems to especially happen when the receivers run between zones and my defenders are not picking up the new opponent in their zone.
Can anyone suggest a drill that has worked for them where we can fix this?

Not sure on a drill for this, but one thing I do for my defense is while running a scrimmage in practice I tell them I will blow a whistle and everyone stops where they are during the play. This really helps the defense, and coaches, see where the breakdowns are and talk over the issues. I do this every practice and it helps the team on both sides as they can see, not just be told, when routes are not run correct, or defenders get out of position.
Good luck

I had the same problem and started using a one-on-one fly drill. Have your WR run a fly, get your DEF to backpeddle until the WR is close (but before they are to you) then turn and run with the WR. I also teach getting a hand on the WR (minor contact not called in our league) so that you know where they are and can turn your head to the QB. As far as picking up from one zone area to the next, constantly preaching communication on DEF... use of short words like "Steve Help" or "Bill coming Right" really help. The other thing we do is have pre-set zone converages-releases. This eliminates the kids from having to think to much and lets them play more. For example we run a 3-1-1, our RLB is one of our faster players, so that player always has a deep coverage while the safety stays to the middle/left side. The MLB then covers Middle/Right.... switching the 3-1-1 to a 2-1-2. This has worked well and the kids are never confused as to who was supposed to go deep and who wasn't. Hope that helps!

The NFL has just signed an agreement with Verizon wireless for a four year deal that will bring NFL Mobile to Verizon users. This comes after Sprint decided that the price to carry the NFL sponsorship did not seem to be cost effective. It should be online, right before the NFL draft that will be happening in April. In conjunction with the deal, Verizon wireless will become the official NFL wireless provider. This new app will enable users to keep track of their favorite teams no matter where they are especially on their BlackBerry Curve 8520 unlocked cell phone device.
One of the favorites is going to be the NFL RedZone channel that will give you a look at all of the key plays and touchdowns from the Sunday games. You will be able to watch live video from the Friday night and Thursday night football games from NBC. You also get the NFL network channel that operates 365 days and 24 hours per day to get all of your football news and scores. You also be able to get game highlights, as well as being able to check out some of the NFL films. You will have live broadcasts on the radio for every game including the playoffs. For all of you fantasy football enthusiasts, you will have access to unlimited information as well as news and player statistics.
No NFL program would be complete without being able to get signature ring tones, graphics and getting NFL alerts that you have customized. You can kick off this new program for Verizon by taking advantage of it for the upcoming draft. You will not miss any of the exciting news of the draft because the program will give you a live feed of the draft as it happens right on your BlackBerry Storm 2 or other unlocked cell phone. It will also have tons of news; lots of blogs that will let you keep track of everyone that is picked moment by moment. No pricing has been released yet, but it should be available very soon.

While time does exist, its measurement is an invention of man. Sure some animals understand it innately; squrriels know they have to gather nuts all summer to get them through the winter, beavers put food in hiding places to get them through the cold, etc. But as far as we understand man is the only creature that measures the hours, then the days, then the years into decades, centuries and millennia.
Every year I am amazed at how many people see the new year as a new start. I am not sure what this stems from; I guess you could look at it in an optimistic way that the next year will be better and they won't make as many mistakes as they did the last year. But other than the fact that we begin a new budget year here at work and I have to figure out my taxes for a preset 365 days that are now gone, Friday will be no different than Thursday. It's just another day.
I guess people need new starts, but that is like saying going into one marriage from another can be a clean start. I mean I still have stuff that my ex-wife did 30 years ago to me bother me sometimes. We carry baggage from one situation into another, so why not from year to year. I mean no one is going to forgive my credit card debt, mortgage or car loan on January 1. I will still have one bad knee and one on the other side that isn't so good either. I will still be 20 lbs. over weight and will never stop eating chocolate. Sure I can make all the resolutions I want, but those can actually start anytime I realize how dumb I have been before the day I make them.
For me it doesn't take a change in the calendar for me to make a change in my behavior. I don't wear shorts up unto Dec. 21 just because it is the first day of winter and the calendar says before that it will be warmer. It usually isn't. And I won't automatically be taking off my coat on March 21 because the calendar says it is spring and things are warming up.
The only special thing about this Friday for me is that we will not have the office open that day; but then we don't have the office open on any Saturdays or Sundays all year either. And there are other holidays we are closed as well.
I guess the new year is a good thing for some people; it gives them a push to do the right things. Whether keep those resolutions, so strongly made because the calendar changes, will be up to them.
For me, I think I will just keep my nasty old habits and not try to change myself just because the calendar says it's January 1.
Maybe instead I'll make a change on the 12th of never.

STOCKTON, California (KCRA) --A Stockton, California family is awaiting a decision from San Joaquin County Animal Control, hoping that its neighbor's two purebred English Bulldogs are ordered to be euthanized.
The Hammond family said that action is justified after the bulldogs viciously attacked and nearly killed its dog, Samantha, in the family's backyard on Oro Avenue last Tuesday.
Samantha, a greyhound-pit bull mix, is recovering on a blanket in the Hammonds' front room.
Her ears are completely gone and her body is filled with staples and stitches.
Security video of the backyard shows two bulldogs pushing through a fence just before the dogs launch a relentless attack against the female dog.
Douglas Hammond, 19, ran into the backyard with a large plastic pipe, repeatedly striking the bulldogs in an effort to stop the attack.
"That's when I started to call the cops, because they didn't care that I was even around," Hammond said. "They didn't want to stop."
Hammond said the attack lasted 45 minutes before sheriff's deputies, using night sticks, finally clubbed the bulldogs -- causing them to stop biting Samantha.
