BUFFALO, NY - Early this year, not long after NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that he was committing up to $1 billion in incentives to try and lure businesses to the Buffalo area, an editorial was published in The Wall Street Journal, concluding that New York is "one of the least desirable states in which to open or expand a business" and that, "another billion dollars in government subsidies for Buffalo won't change that."
Written by Steven Malanga, a Senior Fellow with the conservative minded Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, the piece was titled: "How Stimulus Spending Ruined Buffalo", although he admits it was the Journal's editors who penned the headline.
"Well, stimulus spending certainly hasn't helped Buffalo, let's put it that way," Malanga told WGRZ-TV during a satellite interview from New York City.
"I think he is somewhat right," said Andrew Rudnick, who has served as President of the Buffalo Niagara Partnership for the past 20 years.
Rudnick's office in downtown Buffalo overlooks Main Street, perhaps the most subsidized strip of real estate in all of Western New York.
From the First Niagara Center at the foot of Main Street, all the way through where it bisects the city's central business district, much -if not most of what is seen today- was built with the help of government subsidies over the past three decades totaling well in excess of $1 Billion.
Yet, over the course of those years, Buffalo's population and job base has fallen steadily.
"And when you put it all together it comes to an awful lot of money that's been invested in outside government in Buffalo with very little result," said Malanga.
Main Street downtown, upon which cars have not driven since the early days of Ronald Reagan's presidency, features the above ground portion of a light rail system which cost $583 million to complete in 1985; a figure which adjusted for inflation would amount to nearly $1.3 billion today.
And now, tens of millions more dollars are being spent to restore vehicular traffic there.
"We are spending public money to undo the public investment made a generation ago," Rudnick conceded.
But he insists the Governor's proposal is different in one very critical sense from those of the past.
"It's not for public works initiatives, which a lot of that past money went to. It's all going to businesses that are going to make a job commitment here, and it's all going to businesses once they've made their business decision. This leverages that in order to kind of be the thing that seals the deal...we call it 'last money in'," Rudnick said.
Now all you have to do is get companies to take the bait. However, unless there are other whole scale changes on a statewide level, Malanga has his doubts.
"New York State is consistently voted by business executives across the county as one of the two worst states in which to do business in the nation. New York State has among the highest business taxes and the worst regulatory environment of any state in the country," said Malanga, adding that unless those things change, the state's prospects remain far less than stellar. "It's more important to have good government and a reasonable cost of doing business first," he said.
Rudnick agrees.
"Historically, the biggest barrier to business investment in New York State has been New York State itself," he said.
Recently, when he traveled to Buffalo to tout his incentive program, 2 On Your Side asked Cuomo what was being done to get to the root of the problem which businesses say are inhibiting them from investing here, namely high business taxes, and the mandates on counties that cause high property taxes.
"On a statewide level we're doing exactly that," the Governor replied. "We call it 'New York Open for Business' ,and we're trying to change the culture and the attitude of the state by reducing taxes, regulations, and just making us more business friendly...and we've made good progress on that level."
"I think Governor Cuomo's first year in office has been a better first year, certainly, than some previous Governors, and I think there's some hope here," said Malanga, citing Cuomo's efforts to get pension costs in line as one example.
Cuomo says he's leaving the deployment of the incentives in local hands, through the appointment of a 30 member Western New York Regional Economic Development Council. It is stocked with notable business, education, labor, and civic leaders.
"I'm looking to the business community here to come up with a long term plan to attract businesses and bring back jobs," Cuomo said.
But here again, Malanga wonders about the effectiveness of such councils.
"One of the fundamental flaws of this kind of a program is essentially you're asking people to spend other people's money. And it doesn't matter whether you're business people or developers, you are much less likely to make the right decision if it's somebody else's money as opposed to your money," he said.
Rudnick, besides being head of the Partnership, is also a member of the board tasked by Cuomo to find solutions, and he admits the group is still finding its way in terms of just what kind of decision making authority it will have in terms of who gets what.
"I think that some of this will be specified as time goes on. It's a work in progress, much like the creation of the councils is a work in progress. I think (decisions will be based on) some interaction among and between the council, Empire State Development Corporation, and the Governor's Office."
However, Rudnick says the council has already come to some conclusions as to the types of businesses to target.
"We happen to think it's going to grow existing centers of business," he said.
"That's the absolute right strategy," agreed Mangala. "Typically states and cities gain more jobs from the expansion of existing businesses than they do from what's known as 'migration'."
That's especially true in today's economy, according to Rudnick.
"Money is very tight and business outlooks are still very uncertain. That's as true in San Diego as it is in Buffalo," he said.
That's also why Rudnick believes that Buffalo won't attract one huge, game changing development.
"We all want a 'big thing', ...but the reality of business economics in the world today, suggests that a single big thing with thousands of jobs, which is what people envision, is very unlikely. Businesses are investing today to become more efficient which often means reducing the number of jobs that they have," Rudnick said.
And he also notes there's evidence that pinning one's hopes on a single big ticket item has backfired.
"The case study of that recently is Wichita, Kansas. Where Wichita gave millions and millions of dollars for a huge Boeing facility which has now announced it is shutting down. The more you rely on a single project the more vulnerable you are to the dynamics of the company in that project. Mom wasn't wrong one bit when she advised, 'don't put all your eggs in one basket'," Rudnick said.
Rudnick believes that by channeling the focus to a core of industries that are already doing well in Western New York, the area could have a chance at enjoying the success exhibited in New York's Hudson Valley region ...where the state has invested roughly $1 billion over the past 25 years, to help create a burgeoning nanotechnology industry which now involves 250 companies employing 8,000 workers and counting.
Rudnick reasons we already have a good start of our own, in the growing downtown Buffalo medical corridor.
"We need to go back to those projects which we've already done, work with the people who are the principles in those projects, and say, 'okay, the opportunity now is both bigger and has some additional considerations to it. How is it that we might work with you so we can generate more from our public-private sector partnership'?"
As the Cuomo administration envisions things, businesses hoping to take advantage of what's being offered would invest five dollars of their own for every dollar in state backed incentives they receive.
"The rhetoric is saying exactly that (but) that's a challenge in a business climate...where business investment is very scarce around the world." said Rudnick, which brought Malanga back to his original point. "The only way to fight that battle is to make sure that this state is essentially hospitable for business," he said.
There's an old saying that goes: "it's tough to steer the ship of state", essentially meaning that the government, much like an ocean liner, can't spin on a dime.
Asked if he had confidence in the current "captain" of the state (Cuomo) Rudnick replied, "so far it's hard to bet against him. Everything he says he wants to do, so far, he's done."
And some believe that if Buffalo's fortunes are to be turned around through his plan, then Cuomo may have more skin in the game than anyone else...especially if he has aspirations beyond the Governor's mansion.
"One of the motivations the Governor has is to be able to tell the world that if his leadership can turn around a notoriously depressed metropolitan area like Buffalo, then he's a leader who can turn around other communities...and we sure need elected officials who can deliver at all levels of government," Rudnick said.

FAIRFIELD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- A majority of the work force that drive's Maine's paper industry is close to retirement, but one college is working to provide a solution.
Maine is the second leading paper making state by volume, according to the Maine Pulp and Paper Association. That industry is comprised mostly of baby boomer's, of which 40% of will be over the age of 60 within the next 10 years. It's because of that that Kennebec Valley Community College (KVCC) is partnering with Maine paper mills in a coordinated effort to meet the demand of additional employees.
"It's a complete package that does a very good job of supporting our partners in the pulp and paper industry," said the programs coordinator Monty Henderson.
According to Henderson the KVCC program is the only one in New England that offers a two year degree in Pulp and Paper Technology.
Several prospective students visited the college Saturday to sign up for the program as well as talk with representatives from three different Maine mills about the jobs they offer. Michael Luciano with Verso Paper's Androscoggin Mill says that the skills students come away with from KVCC are exactly the ones he looks for to replace the workers that are getting ready to retire.
"These are the folks we want to look at first," said Luciano. "To grow our work force and have a technologically advanced work force that gives us the advantage."
A total of 37 people signed up for the program that will begin January 21st. Qualified students will be able to do the course online at no cost, and the $344 tuition together with $101 in textbook costs will be waived. Course enrollment will be limited to 30 students, and student selection will be at the discretion of KVCC.
To find out more on how you can apply, you visit their website www.kvcc.me.edu.

Say what you will about modeling, we think the Â"fairy godmotherÂ" aspect is pretty darn cool. ThereÂ's something oddly awe-inspiring about an industry that can take a long-legged teen and turn her into an international icon overnight. The latest lovely to get this Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo treatment is Irina KulikovaÂ--our Model of the Moment.
According to Teen VogueÂ's Casting Call Blog, Irina K. was discovered by IMG Models Senior VP Ivan Bart and Liv Tyler. Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently Bart and Tyler were dining together in Moscow and noticed Irina K. who was also at the restaurant. The magazine was the first to feature the 16-year-old, 5Â'11Â'Â' model in their June/July issue. Bart and Tyler werenÂ't the only ones who saw something in the ultra-leggy stunner (seriously, her legs are as long as Katherine is tall). For the FW 07 shows Irina K. walked exclusively for Calvin Klein in New York and then blew the roof off the European shows.
The opening spot at Prada is one of the most desirable spots for any model. Traditionally this honor goes only to an exclusive Prada face, but this year it was given to Irina K. even though she wasnÂ't contracted to the house. Apparently she impressed the powers that be, and she is currently starring in PradaÂ's fall campaign along with Sasha and our other favorite new face, Anabela. In addition to Prada, Irina K. also opened Oliver TheyskensÂ's first show for Nina Ricci, closed both YSL and Louis Vuitton, and walked for Chanel, Chloe, Marni and more.
In the upcoming months, youÂ'll see the rise of Irina K. everywhere. Besides Prada, sheÂ's also featured in the Pringle of Scotland (shot by Steven Meisel), Jil Sander, and Marc Jacobs fragrance campaigns. Not bad for a newbie!

The biggies are obvious. There's the arena combat, which was shelved prior to release and refocused as future free downloadable content. The collectible Rune system transformed into a simple set of unlockable power modifiers.
But then there are the smaller features, the ones not as memorable but no less nifty. Cinematic in-game cutscenes would have been brilliant. Travel powers used to traverse obstacles would have changed the game considerably. The environment destruction is still there, but more cosmetic than anything affecting gameplay.
Diablo III could have been a much different game. At one point or another, it was. Would it have been a better game?

FORT DRUM As a new multimillion-dollar hangar for unmanned aircraft opened at the posts Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield, state Air National Guard officials said the investment was a sign they will remain on post well into the future.
Were going to be operating out of here as long as any of us are around, said Maj. Gen. Verle Johnston, the New York Air National Guards commander.
The new hangar will be used by the 174th Attack Wing, which is based at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base, Syracuse, to house two of its MQ-9 Reaper drones. According to the unit, the $5,194,860 facility took nine months to build and will house two of the aircraft within 12,000 square feet of storage space. Prior to the opening, the wings three Reapers have been housed in a temporary structure next to the airfields rapid deployment center.
Though its place at the posts airfield appears to be set, the hangar opening comes as the unit looks to expand its ability to take off and land out of the Syracuse airport. In September, Col. Greg A. Semmel, the attack wings commander, told the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority that expanding Reaper operations to Syracuse would save $1 million per year through reductions in scrapped missions and travel costs.
On Tuesday, Col. Semmel said the goal is for the change to happen at some point next year, but it will depend on Federal Aviation Administration approval to do so. Though he did not have specific numbers for how many of the units missions will shift to Syracuse, Col. Semmel said that at least one-fifth of the units training work required the ranges and airspace provided around the post, and that other responsibilities also would require it to keep a presence at the airfield.
The hangar opening today is the first part of a planned two-part hangar development project. The 2014 defense authorization bill, which is still working its way through Congress, includes money for a $4.7 million two-bay expansion of the hangar that will house the units third and future fourth aircraft. Multiple speakers during the ceremony said they were optimistic that such a project could be taken on by 2015.
The unit has operated MQ-9 Reapers at Fort Drums airfield since October 2011, with locally based crew members remotely operating the drones during takeoff and landing and Syracuse-based pilots taking over via satellite once the drones are in the air. Maintenance of the aircraft also has been done at the local airfield.
During his remarks, Col. Semmel pointed out that in October the Air Force marked 2 million flight hours for its MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper aircraft since its launch in the mid-1990s. That same month, the unit reported reaching its 2,000 hour of flight hours with its aircraft at the posts airfield.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo praised the hangar project in a statement released Tuesday morning.
This new hangar is a real asset in improving the training and operations of the New York Air National Guard at Fort Drum, Gov. Cuomo said. This permanent facility provides the 174th Attack Wing with enough space to shelter its aircraft and more effectively train service members from across the country for overseas operations and domestic emergencies. As the major storms from the last few years have shown us, the National Guard is vital to New York State in responding to a natural disaster. Furthermore, this green facility will also reduce the use of energy to save taxpayer dollars in the long run, exemplifying our states goal to dramatically increase energy efficiency in the next several years. The completion of this project will result in a stronger Fort Drum and enhance the security of our nation.

Read: The Owners Need To Give At Least One Thing
Nick Cotsonika, at Yahoo, writes that when it comes down to it the owners need the players and a CBA to get the NHL back up and running.
He suggests that if the owners were to accept the players previous proposal they will have achieved a more restrictive system, a 50/50 split and likely be able to swing labor piece for a decade.
Cotsonika writes, "Isn't that enough? Doesn't that achieve the league's goals? Doesn't that address the financial imbalance, and if it doesn't, couldn't the owners increase revenue sharing some more? Wasn't competitive balance outstanding under the old rules already? The players don't need another reason to hate Bettman and Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs, the chairman of the board of governors. They need a way out of this – a way to accept this CBA, a way to lose with dignity.The owners haven't given much, if anything. For everyone's sake, they need to give them that."
Scott Burnside writes at ESPN.com that both sides need to understand that engaging in a war won't do any good and won't lead to any side being able to claim being a winner.

CLAYTON To mitigate anticipated parking shortages downtown this summer, the village board is seeking a contractor to run a shuttle service connecting its business district to remote parking areas.
In addition to a sewer project on Riverside Drive, the Buffalo-based Krog Corp. plans to break ground on a 12- to 14-month hotel construction project at the 8.4-acre Frink site, which was being used for public parking, as soon as April.
Village Trustee Dennis H. Honeywell said a request for proposals was issued recently for a shuttle service, with a capacity of about 15 passengers, to transport visitors between remote parking areas and major attractions, including the Antique Boat Museum and the Clayton Opera House.
While a shuttle or a trolley service certainly would add to the convenience of visitors to Clayton, Mr. Honeywell said, there are a lot of details that have to be hammered out first.
And if we dont get any proposals, weve got to go back to the drawing board, he said.
Mr. Honeywell said the village board is open to ideas on how to run the service and plans to hold a public forum in mid-March to gather feedback from local merchants and residents.
For months, the town and villages joint Parking and Traffic Committee has been looking for ways to alleviate traffic congestion in downtown Clayton. Mr. Honeywell is a member of the committee.
At the committees recommendation, Clayton will be expanding two parking areas one on Graves Street near the Clayton Fire Department and the other at the Lions Field on Webb Street.
Its proposal to the village board also includes suggestions such as designating 15-minute parking spots and placing digital parking meters on Riverside Drive from Bellas, 602 Riverside Drive, to Webb Street and charging a higher hourly rate of 50 cents.
The committee also recommended that parking lot lines at the municipal building on Mary Street be redrawn to add a few spots and that Guardino Elementary Schools lot be used for public parking.

LOWVILLE A limited supply of tickets remains available for the Taste of Home Cooking School here Saturday, but organizers said theyre going fast.
The best bet is to call ahead, said Arlene S. Hall, executive director at Mountain View Prevention Services.
VIP tickets for the show a fundraiser for the programs and activities for youth the agency offers have long been sold out, but a number of $15 general admission tickets were still available as of Thursday afternoon.
While tickets still may be purchased at the door if available, Mrs. Hall suggested those interested call the Mountain View office today at 376-2321 to ensure that a seat will be open.
The all-day event will be held in the auditorium of Lowville Academy and Central School, with the doors opening at 11 a.m.
Anyone may check out the vendors and get something to eat during the event, but only ticket-holders will be admitted to the 2�-hour show in the afternoon conducted by Chef Eric Villegas.
Theyd better have seat belts, because Im going to rock the house, said Mr. Villegas, a native of Saginaw, Mich., who toured several area food-related sites Thursday and was slated to visit more today.
The chef noted that for the price of a $15 ticket, attendees will receive gift bags with recipes, magazine subscriptions and coupons valued at well over $60.
It doesnt make fiscal sense not to come, he said.
Those in attendance also will have an opportunity to win several door prizes, including all 10 dishes, from appetizers through desserts, prepared by the chef. And bringing a nonperishable food item for the local food pantry will place an attendees name in a drawing for an additional door prize.
Mountain View is focusing on collecting food items for school backpacks that go home with many children on the weekends. All items collected will be divided among Lewis County schools with backpack programs. Ideal food items to donate include peanut butter and crackers, single-serve food dishes and small packs of fruits and vegetables.
Mr. Villegas promised that the audience at Saturdays event will be informed and entertained.
Its a way to support the community, as well, he said.
Half of the dishes to be prepared Saturday came from recipes submitted to Taste of Home magazine, while the others come from several prominent national food brands, the chef said.
Throughout his career, Mr. Villegas has opened two restaurants, written two cookbooks and earned two regional Emmy awards for his popular television show, Fork in the Road with Eric Villegas.
Primary sponsors for the event here are National Grid, Browns Home Appliance Center, Foy Agency, Jebs Restaurant, Steeles Ace Home Center, Tops Friendly Markets and the Journal and Republican.

MASSENA - The St. Lawrence County Funeral Directors Association, has agreed to accept the recently renegotiated resolution for the reimbursement rates and services provided for indigent burials in St. Lawrence County that was approved by the St. Lawrence County Department of Social Services and the St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators.
According to NYS Public Health Law, each county has a responsibility to provide a proper burial for the residents of such county that do not have the financial means to pay for such services. In recent years the costs of providing this service has steadily increased, with 2012 nearly reaching a cost of $300,000. In an effort to reduce this cost and still provide a proper burial or cremation, the Department of Social Services and St. Lawrence County Funeral Directors Association formulated new service offerings with a new price structure that has the potential to save the county taxpayers a minimum of $60,000.
The new offerings for services will be either a direct burial in a cemetery or a direct cremation, both without funeral or graveside services. The SLC DSS will provide payment to the funeral homes for the services selected by the family in the amount of $1,850 for direct burial with a minimal cloth covered casket and concrete grave liner and $1,150 for direct cremation. In addition, payment for mileage within 75 miles of the funeral home and regular weekday grave opening charges of a cemetery up to $500 or crematory charges will be reimbursed on direct cost basis.
If a non-legally responsible family member requests to have additional services or merchandise such as: embalming, calling hours, funeral, graveside or memorial services, memorial books and cards, an urn for cremated remains, and/or assorted religious items, they will be required to supplement the above funds up to $2,500. The $2,500 will only be able to increase the services of the decedent and not the casket or grave liner. These charges are based on the general price list of each funeral home, which varies from funeral home to funeral home.
In the current economic state of St. Lawrence County, along with many other counties in the state, we, the members of the Funeral Directors Association, feel that this is a win-win situation for all parties involved. By re-organizing the service offerings and the payment reimbursement by the county, we are able to somewhat able control our expenses involved in the services provided; and the county is able to pay a lesser amount for those same services than in the past, according to a release from the countys Funeral Directors Association.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA)-- For the first time since the Derecho storm hit the Washington area on June 29, PEPCO officials are fielding tough questions from a special committee from the D.C. council.
However, one council woman, Yvette Alexander doesn't feel the utility executives were being upfront about the questions being asked of them.
She said, "Some of the answers were like pulling teeth. Our residents are frustrated, and we really need to get some answers."
Among the things being discussed and questioned of the utility company is their equipment, and their ability to respond to major power outages. PEPCO has taken much criticism following the storm that knocked out power to millions in the region. Many of the company's customers in the District and in Maryland claim PEPCO didn't do enough to get people's power back on.
9News also tried getting questions answered but was ignored. PEPCO Executive Vice President Dave Velazquez ignored our repeated attempts to ask questions of him and the company.
Alexander said, "I really don't know why they wouldn't answer the questions, but if it takes a formal investigation to get the questions that's something that we can do."

The story of Jesse Sapolu could have been a sad memoir, a cautionary tale for the toughest of men.
Simply put, Sapolu risked his life to play football.
The choices he made against the reality of a heart defect could have served as a warning for others. Instead, Sapolu, a Costa Mesa resident who starred as an offensive lineman for the San Francisco 49ers, serves as an inspiration. That was his primary intent.
The Sapolu story is not sad at all. You can read about him in his new book, "I Gave My Heart to San Francisco."
These days everything seems to be happy in Sapolu's life. His beloved 49ers are in Sunday's Super Bowl XLVII playing for their sixth NFL championship against the Baltimore Ravens.
Sapolu, the 49ers alumni coordinator, left for New Orleans Thursday morning. On Thursday night, a photo of Sapolu with San Francisco Coach Jim Harbaugh was posted on his Facebook page: Jesse Sapolu's Men In The Trenches.
Sapolu's book was released in October. The timing proved to be seemingly perfect as it came during the 49ers' return to greatness.
Sapolu is a busy man, promoting the book and his 49ers. He also runs a football camp for linemen and works as a motivational speaker.
He was at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii last weekend.
He appeared on ESPN Wednesday night. He still took time to speak with me before leaving for the Super Bowl.
In my brief dealings with Sapolu, I've recognized a humble man.
That character is seen in his book, too. He played the game for his name, but he also played for everyone else who dealt with a heart condition, especially the kids, he said.
He had several requests to write a book after retiring. But he said a tragic moment occurred that set the plans in motion.
Sapolu saw his youngest son Roman, a center at Oregon State, deal with the death of his friend, Fred Thompson, who died after collapsing while playing basketball. Thompson's death came from complications of an enlarged heart, Sapolu said.
"I came back from open-heart surgery so that other kids can have the opportunity that I have," Sapolu said, talking about the surgery he had in 1997 and returning to play his final season.
In his book, Sapolu writes about his upbringing, his motivation, his passion for the game of football and his love for his family and friends among other topics. He had plenty of motivation during a career that spanned 15 years and featured four Super Bowl rings, nine appearances in the NFC title game, two Pro Bowl appearances and two All-Pro selections.
What an amazing career, full of triumphant stories, all while dealing with an abnormal heart, a torn aortic valve. There were times, he admits, when pride and determination ruled his decision making.
He never wanted to tell anyone about his enlarged heart.
Concussions and contact to the head are the hot topics for football players during and after their careers. Sapolu dealt with that along with his heart condition.
But his motivation overcame his fear of death. He was passionate about playing for a dynasty. He was determined to be the best and prove he was much more than an 11th round draft pick (289th overall in 1983).

Great deal for Lightning Ascents on Amazon. 30" only available at that price in yellow, 22" only in black, and 25" available in either color.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RI6ZWY/Tails at EMS for $40 (20% off):http://www.ems.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4085829
Edited by cowexnihilo on 04/02/2013 09:37:26 MDT.
Great deal indeed,thank you!
Edited by rhodopean on 03/31/2013 16:46:04 MDT.
Just ordered some... was just about to buy some locally for twice the price! Thank you much!
got 'em! thanks!i'll resell when i find a deal on northern lites race :-)
That is too sweet a deal. Gotta love spring for winter gear deal. The women's are also on sale for the same price in the 25'. They are lighter and narrower, which, from reports, makes then easier to walk in for smaller folks. Thanks to Konrad for the idea to switch to the women's version.
Aren't the bindings much smaller on the women's version? Looks like it in the photos, particularly on the Axis model (which is also on sale by the way, for under a hundred dollars!) Also, I can't find the women's version for the sale price, only regular price.
Edited by dasbin on 04/02/2013 00:16:05 MDT.
scored 2 pairs, one for my wife and I.Can't resist all these post-US winter deals, before our winter in Australia hits.
Thanks guys, just jumped on a pair! Been wanting to get into snow shoeing at some point.It looks like the women's version are not on sale by nearly as much though.The Evo shoes are on sale though- would these work for women?http://www.amazon.com/MSR-Snow-Shoes-22-Inch-Navy/dp/B003EFF6MA
it says the bindings fit up to a women's shoe size 14, which is more than big enough for me and most guys. Unless you are big foot, binding size should rarely be an issue on a snow shoe with a universal binding.4 left in the women'shttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076ZSKHW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DERcorrection. they jacked up the price just in the last hour. I live in Seattle and know a bunch of guys that work at Amazon on customer analytics. they have a whole bunch of computer science PhDs working overtime tracking our every move online and optimizing their sales algorithms just snag us. Looks like we triggered something in some formula. Sorry. No deal on women's version, at least not right now.
Edited by mwgillenwater on 04/02/2013 01:03:36 MDT.
I bought a pair of the 30"s last week when they were 50% off, called Amazon yesterday and they agreed to refund me the $30 difference between the price I paid and the current price, no questions asked. Makes me wonder if they are selling below cost because they don't want to tie up warehouse racks for the summer, or if they know that MSR are coming out with a new and improved model for next winter. Either way, I got out on Sunday with my new snowshoes and had a cracking time thanks to (finally decent) late season snow.
Looking forward to using these next season.
man im trying to come up with any logical reason to not jump all over this freaking deal right now. I know im gonna need some this winter. But just dropping 120 on something thats getting put up for 8 months till i use it...
Mine came on Saturday.
Head for them thar hills. At higher altitudes late season snow means I'll be using mine through the end of this month, and wishful thinking has me hoping maybe into early May also.
Looks like I'm a bit late since the price went up, but the women's bindings fit fine, even with my size 10.5 double layer plastic mountaineering boots. I think amazon is just clearing out warehouse space, as MSR just revamped the Lightning Ascent this past year, and I can't imagine them redesigning again. They added a smarter (less prone to breaking) crampon design.
I'm still seeing $108-$120 for the men's version in yellow for the 25" and 30" sizes, only the 22" size is close to MSRP.
If anyone wants tails for these, they can be had from EMS for $40:http://www.ems.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4085829Personally I like to use moosejaw price match for the rewards points.-David
any recommendations for a good, cheap snowpole? should i just set a sacalert for trekking poles and fit a snowbasket on whatever black diamond pole I can get for ~$30?
THANKS !!!!! Super great deal. Just ordered mine! Thanks for that post !!!
Got mine today! Thanks for the link!

13 of 20 patients with primary or secondary resistance to Imatinib were found to have mutations in the BCR/ABL binding domain.
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The role of molecular markers continues to expand in the treatment of cancer. Though preliminary, this study suggests that P-loop mutations may represent a prognostic marker for progression to blast crisis and that the T135I mutation may indicate Dasatinib resistance in patients with CML. The results of this study support the need for further studies and raises several interesting questions.

USU Student Chapter of AIS Recognized as Best New Student Chapter of 2011
By Paul Lewis Siddoway
A new student club at the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business has been recognized by a global organization as its Best New Student Chapter in 2011.
In the fall of 2010, students at Utah State University founded a student chapter of the Association for Information Systems (AIS), a global professional organization for research, teaching, practice, and study of information systems.

Kathy Chudoba, an associate professor in the Management Information Systems Department, accepted the award for the best new chapter on behalf of the USU AIS chapter and Robert Hayden, the chapter's faculty advisor, at the International Conference on Information Systems held in Shanghai, China, in December 2011.
Clayton Fielding, a senior in the MIS department and the current USU AIS president, said the USU AIS chapter submitted a report in the spring of 2011 of its activities for their first academic year, detailing the results of its plans to help students gain knowledge, get connected, and get employed. Among other events, Clayton said the USU AIS chapter has a special Partners In Business session with speakers brought in to talk to MIS students, which was one reason the chapter was selected for the award.
The organization is for all USU undergraduate or graduate students interested in technology, Clayton said. The USU AIS chapter has MIS students, as well as computer science and computer engineering majors. Clayton said their vision is to know about the next best technology and be a resource for students who are trying to stay up to date with the newest tools. The chapter meets every Thursday throughout the semester, and membership in the USU AIS chapter is $10 each academic year.
He said the chapter has also branched out to other student organizations, like the Society for Human Resource Management and the Huntsman School's Business Council.
The Huntsman School of Business emphasizes the importance of entrepreneurial thinking and Clayton said that many of the club's activities, such as teaching students how to build their own business websites, have been centered on encouraging entrepreneurs.
Aside from assisting USU students, Clayton said the chapter is also helping the Brigham Young University chapter plan the global 2012 Leadership Conference and Student Competition, which will be held April 26 through 28 in Provo. Those interested in the conference may visit www.ais2012.com for more details.
Those interested in USU AIS, may visit its website at huntsman.usu.edu/ais for more information.

The City of Antwerp wants to transform the old harbor complex into an urban landscape-park respecting the original dry dock infrastructure as well as the existing tide.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) - Hundreds of people have organized around the Stop It Community Initiative to stop violence in this city. It's not the first time concerned citizens have met to address the problem.
In May of 2005, community leaders gathered at the Grand Rapids Police Department in a unified show of strength and concern borne of a rash of shootings. Pastor Arthur Bailey, speaking then, told WZZM 13: "There is a lot of people without hope and we believe with that, the violence has the potential to increase." Concerns about that escalation caused the cancellation then of a popular basketball event in Grand Rapids, the Macker Jam.
In 2006, city police and preachers hosted a series of community meetings, mostly in southeast side churches about what to do about violence. A report from those meetings, revealed in October of 2006, cited 147 reasons for the violence.
In June of 2009, many of the same community leaders called a press conference to promote their "peacekeepers" program. It was an effort City Commissioner Jim White said then, "to go out into the streets and embrace our young people - to let them know that we love them and there are alternatives to violence."
At about that time, a website appeared:http://www.stopgrviolence.org that was the effort of Pastor Daniel Parker. Though the site has not been updated in years, a spokesperson for Parker said "we continue in our pursuit to alleviate violence in the Greater Grand Rapids area through a variety of mechanisms." Kingdom Life Ministries Community Development Corporation (KLMCDC) in the fight against GR violence has developed a Life Skills Program that targets youth in grades 6th - 9th."
And now, in 2013, following a wave of violence that began in December of 2012, hundreds of concerned citizens have launched what they say is "the very strategic approach of taking a two-pronged approach: systems and grass roots" aimed at ending violence.
Pastor Stedford Sims, a participant in previous efforts, feels this one has the potential to succeed where others have not. "I haven't seen that in the past - I've seen different factions do their part, but I've never really witnessed the city come together from all the stakeholders - right? And that's what's different and so I am hopeful."

Updates on Saltalamacchia, Blue Jays' catchers
In his Sunday column for the Boston Globe, Nick Cafardo says a "decent market" could develop for Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
Cafardo suggests the White Sox could be interested in Saltalamacchia if they do not retain A.J. Pierzynski, saying, "They could move someone like Gavin Floyd, who also could be a fit for the Blue Jays should they be interested in moving J.P. Arencibia."
Cafardo says part of the reason the Red Sox signed C David Ross was to serve as a mentor to prospect Ryan Lavarnway, suggesting it's unlikely Boston would deal Lavarnway over Saltalamacchia.
In regards to the Blue Jays' catchers, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald says Toronto is shopping Arencibia, Travis D'Arnoud, and John Buck, but is "leaning toward Arencibia or D'Arnaud."
Michael Baron, ContributorFrom a Mets standpoint, the most comparable big league starting pitcher to Floyd would be Dillon Gee. Gee is the logical odd man out when Zack Wheeler is ready, assuming the Mets hold onto both R.A. Dickey and Jon Niese this winter and the Mets aren't dealing with an injury when that time comes. Gee seems to be someone the Mets could build a package around for either Saltalamacchia or Arencibia, both of whom appear to be excess on their respective clubs. Gee is coming off season-ending surgery, but his injury was non-baseball related and is expected to be ready for Spring Training.
Of the two, I'd prefer Arencibia. He provides equal offensive output at a fraction of the cost (he isn't eligible for arbitration until next winter, whereas Saltalamacchia will earn around $4 million through arbitration), making him a better value. I also worry about Saltalamacchia's ability to hit in more pitcher-friendly parks, such as the ones in the National League East. That's not to say Arencibia wouldn't have trouble in the same conditions, but he is a smaller gamble and can serve in a platoon with Josh Thole in a worst case scenario. In addition, Saltalamacchia can become a free agent after the 2013 season, and I don't think the Mets should trade a controllable starting pitcher for someone under those circumstances right now.
More on Jarrod Saltalamacchia...
Stats: In 121 games for the Red Sox in 2012, Saltalamacchia hit .221 with a .288 OBP and a .454 SLG, 25 home runs and 59 RBI in 448 plate appearances.
Contract: Saltalamacchia, 27, signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract to avoid arbitration in his second year of eligibility. He can become a free agent after the 2013 season.
- Joel Sherman of the New York Post says the Mets and Red Sox had not engaged in discussions about Jarrod Saltalamacchia. However, Sherman wonders – now that Boston has signed David Ross – whether or not the two teams could pair up in a trade for Saltalamacchia.
More on J.P. Arencibia...
Stats: Arencibia hit .233 with a .275 OBP and .435 SLG, 18 home runs and 56 RBI in 347 at-bats over 102 games in 2012. He broke his hand in late July and missed about six weeks.
Contract: Arencibia earned $489,000 in 2012 and is not eligible for arbitration until 2014. He can become a free agent after the 2016 season.

Former Haitian president Jean-Claude 'Baby Doc' Duvalier leaves... Photo d'actualitéDroit,Haïti,Jean-Claude Duvalier,Palais de justice,Partir,Port-au-Prince,Procès,Précédent,Président,VerticalPhotographer THONY BELIZAIRECollection: AFP 2013 AFPFormer Haitian president Jean-Claude 'Baby Doc' Duvalier leaves February 28 2013 a court in Port-au-Prince. Duvalier appeared in court Thursday for a hearing to determine if he can be charged with crimes against humanity. Duvalier, who was observed at the court by an AFP reporter, was summoned by a judge after failing three times previously to show up in court. Duvalier ruled from 1971 until his ouster in a popular revolt in 1986. He returned from exile in France two years ago. Former opposition figures have accused Duvalier of deploying the feared Tonton Macoute militia and of complicity in murder, torture and kidnapping. Duvalier, 61, wore a dark suit and white shirt as sat in the packed courtroom with his companion Veronique Roy. Many of those on hand were former victims of the Duvalier regime who planned to testify against him. AFP PHOTO / Thony BELIZAIRE (Photo credit should read THONY BELIZAIRE/AFP/Getty Images)

NORFOLK - Earlier this month the fourth-grade K-Kids service organization from Norwood-Norfolk Central School took part in a tobacco use prevention activity.
Led by K-Kids advisors Lee Mittelstaedt and Carrie French, with help from Ben Todd, St. Lawrence County Tobacco Program coordinator, the activity included a brief presentation, scavenger hunt, and writing assignment. The group learned about the tactics the tobacco industry uses to lure young people into experimenting with tobacco products.
Companies put candy flavors in tobacco to trick little kids and teens to smoke and chew it, wrote Taegan LaBrake.
This point is supported by the following quote taken from tobacco industry files: It is a well know fact that teenagers like sweet products.
So why would tobacco companies add candy flavors to their products? Adding flavors like orange, grape, and cherry doesnt make tobacco products safer. It only makes them more appealing to youth. In March 2008, a poll found that one in five youth between the ages of 12 and 17 had seen flavored tobacco products or ads in stores, while only one in ten adults reported having seen them. These products are widely considered to be starter products, establishing smoking habits that can lead to a lifetime of addiction.
The K-Kids also learned about the chemicals that can be found in cigarettes. I dont think anyone should smoke or buy tobacco products, wrote Emma Wells. I didnt know cigarettes have so many chemicals.
The students learned that cigarettes have thousands of chemicals in them, some of which are deadly. When asked what she learned, Hillary Filios wrote, Cyanide is in rat poison and in cigarettes.
The focus of this event was to help these fourth-grade students understand the importance of resisting the temptation to experiment with tobacco products. A 2007 study in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine found that some youths experience tobacco dependence within a day of first inhaling. Evidence also shows that smoking can be a first step toward other substance abuse. Stopping or delaying that first step will reduce the risk that kids will progress to using other harmful substances.
This activity was scheduled in conjunction with Kick Butts Day, March 20. Kick Butts Day, organized by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, is a national day of activism that empowers youth. There will be more than 1,000 events in schools and communities across the United States and around the world. In St. Lawrence County there will be events in Potsdam, Lisbon, Canton, Heuvelton, and Clifton-Fine.
K-Kids, sponsored by Kiwanis International, is a student-led community service club for elementary students that teaches members the value of helping others through participation in community service projects and club activities.

Videogame sales fall 25% in October
(6:43 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Retail sales of videogame software in the U.S. fell by 25% in October compared to the same month last year, according to data from the NPD Group released late Thursday. Hardware sales plunged by 37% during the period. Take-Two Interactive TTWO, +0.34% had the top-selling game with "NBA 2K13," while "Resident Evil 6" from Capcom took the number two slot. Nintendo's NTDOY, +2.11% new versions of "Pokemon" Black and White were also big sellers, as was "Dishonored" from Bethesda Softworks. The "Madden NFL 13" and "FIFA Soccer 13" sports titles from Electronic Arts EA, -0.48% remained in the top-ten list for a second month, though the publisher's combat shooter "Medal of Honor: Warfighter" only made its debut on the 8th place slot for the month.
Iger: TV ratings down due to DVRs, lack of hits
(5:37 PM ET) CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Walt Disney Co. DIS, +0.30% Chief Executive Bob Iger told analysts Thursday that it would be "premature" to assume that the weakness seen across most of broadcast television so far in the 2012-13 season signals the demise of network TV. Speaking on a conference call after the entertainment giant's release of quarterly earnings, Iger said that the increased penetration and usage of digital video recorders has shifted ratings away from Nielsen's traditional "live + same day" ratings metrics. With the exception of NBC CMCSA, -0.10% each of the Big Four networks has seen double-digit percentage declines in ratings among viewers 18 to 49 so far this season. Iger explained that because so many people today record shows and watch them hours or days after they air, Nielsen's "C3" ratings, which measure shows watched up to three days after a broadcast, have become a more relevant way to measure viewership. Iger added that he hopes that eventually "C7" ratings, covering programs watched as much as seven days after an original airing, will become the more important currency for advertising rates. A lack of "big, buzzworthy" new shows has also accounted for the early season's weakness, Iger asserted. "If you look at NBC, 'The Voice' has improved their numbers dramatically," he said. ABC has a number of "serviceable" shows that should help its ratings outlook, Iger added.
Zipcar projects full-year profit for 2012
(4:33 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Car-sharing service Zipcar ZIP, +2.78% late Thursday exceeded Wall Street's third-quarter view and projected 2012 would mark its first profitable year. Zipcar made $4.3 million, or 10 cents a share, beating the consensus analyst forecast of a 1-cent per-share profit, FactSet data shows. In the same 2011 period, Zipcar earned $651,000, or 2 cents a share. Zipcar said total membership grew 18% to 767,000 during the recent quarter. Revenue rose 15% to $78.2 million. For 2012, Zipcar edged up its revenue target to a range of $275 million to $279 million. It also took up the low end of its profit range, estimating its profit will be between $1 million and $4 million. Zipcar shares, which have fallen sharply since going public in April 2011, rose 12% to $6.75 on light volume in after-hours trade.

JWN, +0.03% reported late Thursday third-quarter profit rose 15% to $146 million, or 71 cents a share, from $127 million, or 59 cents a share, a year ago. Revenue for the quarter ended Oct. 27 rose to $2.81 billion from $2.48 billion. Gross margin slipped to 37.1% from 37.3%. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had predicted the Seattle-based department-store chain would earn 72 cents a share on $2.71 billion in revenue. The company tightened its 2012 earnings outlook to $3.45 to $3.50 a share from its earlier range of $3.40 to $3.50. Nordstrom shares fell as much as 3.2% to $53.65 in after-hours trade.

(4:26 PM ET) CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Entertainment titan Walt Disney Co. DIS, +0.30% said Thursday that its fiscal fourth-quarter profit rose 14% on increased profits at ESPN and its theme parks. However, the stock slipped 2.8% in after-hours trading as revenue fell short of most analysts' expectations. Disney said it earned $1.24 billion, or 68 cents a share in the period ended Sept. 29, compared with a profit of $1.09 billion, or 58 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Revenue rose 3% to $10.78 billion. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting a profit of 68 cents a share on sales of $10.93 billion.
Groupon reports net loss, missing estimates
(4:07 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Groupon Inc. reported a net loss on lower-than-expected revenue for the third quarter on Thursday afternoon.

Revenue rose 32% to $568.6 million, while gross billings rose 5% to $1.22 billion. Analysts were expecting earnings of 3 cents a share on revenue of $591 million, according to consensus forecasts from FactSet. "Our solid performance in North America was offset by continued challenges in Europe," Groupon CEO Andrew Mason said in a statement Thursday.
Groupon shares up more than 3% ahead of results
(3:31 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Groupon Inc. GRPN, +1.30% were trading up 3.5% to $3.89 late Thursday afternoon ahead of the company's third-quarter report, due after the closing bell.

The company confirmed earlier in the day that it has laid off a small number of workers in its sales organization due to improved automation. The stock is down more than 80% from its IPO price of $20 a year ago. Investors will be looking for more color on the company's Groupon Goods business as well as metrics showing the health of the main daily deals business.
J.P. Morgan gets OK for $3 bln repurchase in Q1
(9:09 AM ET) NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.

Morgan is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.15% Shares of the bank rose 2% in premarket trades.

This vast expanse of forest, swamp, and savannah in the north of the Republic of Congo is Africa's most important stronghold for wildlife. Many of the 125,000 gorillas WCS discovered in northern Republic of Congo in 2008 live in Ndoki, alongside elephants, forest leopard, golden cat, eight species of antelopes, three species of crocodiles, and chimps, including some that have never seen humans.
Located in the heart of the world's second-largest rainforest, this 23,500-square-mile landscape encompasses two national parks and the Lac Télé Community Reserve, and serves as a vital watershed for the Congo River, helping power Africa's largest hydroelectric plant. Ndoki is home to fewer than 250,000 humans. Local residents harvest fish and wildlife for household consumption, and many work with the logging companies, which own extensive timber contracts within this landscape and surrounding lands and provide the most jobs of any industry in the Republic of Congo. Strong partnerships with the timber industry and indigenous communities are essential for protecting this extraordinary wilderness and the myriad animal species that reside here.
WCS works with the CIB logging company to reduce the pressures on gorillas, elephants, and other endangered wildlife in four timber concessions and to control the trade in bushmeat. This collaborative project is called PROGEPP: the Project for Ecosystem Management in the Nouabalé-Ndoki Periphery Area.
Forest elephants congregate en masse within TNS, a new World Heritage Site, sometimes in groups of 100 or more. Nowhere else in the world are this many forest elephants spotted together.
No elephants are immune from increased poaching in the Republic of Congo. WCS advocates doubling the number of guards monitoring the Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park and surrounding areas, one of the few safe havens where elephant numbers have remained stable.
WCS VP for Species Conservation Liz Bennett details efforts to combat the illegal wildlife trade and highlights the urgent need for additional security forces to slow and ultimately reverse the decimation of myriad charismatic species.
Researchers working in the Republic of Congo find that bigger adult male western lowland gorillas have a better chance of attracting mates and raising healthy offspring. The study looked at overall body length and the size of head crest and gluteal muscles in 19 silverbacks at Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park.
The Republic of Congo formally expands Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park to help protect a rare population of chimps, known for both their skillful tool use and greenness to people.
In the rainforests of Central Africa, hunters are finding their way into once inaccessible terrain, spelling disaster for forest elephants.
WCS conducts the first landscape-wide survey of how land-use affects chimpanzees, gorillas, and forest elephants.
A new census finds a massive gorilla population previously unknown to scientists. WCS and the Government of Congo have tallied more than 125,000 western gorillas in the northern Republic of Congo. This is great news for the critically endangered western lowland gorilla, which had been believed to number only 50,000 in total.

Comments about Osprey Stratos 24 Backpack:
Did quite a bit of research before pulling the trigger on this bag. Wanted a lightweight bag that featured the mesh back. There's nothing worse than having a wet, sweaty back while using the majority of bags. I needed a mid-size day pack, this fit the bill perfectly. My recent hike up Mt. Monadnock required a jacket for the summit, water, lunch, and some other necessities. It was packed well, but not too much for the bag. The plethora of straps to get the best fit is awesome. Wears more comfortable than any other bag I've owned.

Comments about Osprey Stratos 24 Backpack:
I needed a daypack-size bag to carry a large jacket and some photography gear, and a few odds & ends. This bag holds it all. The hip belt is a comfortable, supportive belt, not a strap. The zip pockets in the pack supplement the storage in the main part of the bag; pockets in the belt and shoulder strap are perfect for keys & phone. The zipper pulls are nice big loops, easy to get hold of. There's a lot of airspace between the mesh and the main part of the bag, keeping the bag itself off of what would otherwise be my sweaty back. It also means that oddly-shaped objects in the pack are kept away from my back, so they don't dig in. I recommend the Cactus color, a "refreshing" change from drab colors like blue and red. Finally: I've even had to use the rain cover, and it works. I love using this bag.

Comments about Osprey Stratos 24 Backpack:
I bike to work and I was looking for a backpack that would be light-weight and durable. Someone told me about Osprey products and I looked them up. I chose the Stratos 24 because of the size; not too big, not to small. I found I could easily fit a change of pants,shirt,shoes and jacket, with plenty of room to spare. The top loading makes it extremly simple and there are plenty of other storage pockets, albeit some are a little small maybe just big enough for keys, cell phone, etc. I also love the ventilated backing, Osprey calls this AirSpeed, a 3D mesh backpanel and LightWire frame that keeps the pack away from your back and thus keeps you nice and dry when working up a sweat. I choose the unique Catus color that is offered and it looks great! [...]

Using labels
Labels help you organize your messages into categories -- work, family, to do, read later, jokes, recipes, any category you want. Labels do all the work that folders do, but with an added bonus: you can add more than one to a message.
Only you can see your labels, so whether you mark a message with "Best friend" or "Read later," the sender will never know.
Create a labelHere's how to create a label that you can add to any of your messages:
- Open Gmail on a computer.
- On the left side of the page, click More at the bottom of your labels list. (If you don't see "More," grab the gray dividing line with your cursor and drag it down to show more labels.)
- Click Create new label.
- Type the name of your new label and click Create.
You can also create a new label for a message in your Inbox by selecting the box next to the message, clicking the Label button above your message list, and then clicking Create new.
Apply your labelYou can add a label to your messages in several ways:
- When viewing your Inbox, select the checkbox next to those messages, click the Labels button, and click the label you want. (Or check the boxes next to several labels and click Apply.)
- When viewing a message, click the Labels button to add a label to the message. You can also click and drag a label from the left side, and drop it on the message.
- When writing a new message, click More options in the bottom right corner of the compose window, click Label, and then select one of your labels.
Organize your labels
How to edit or delete a label
Create sub-labels:
How to change your label settings
Choose which labels appear in your list on the left: In the "Show in label list" column, click the "show" or "hide" link next to each label to choose whether it will be shown in the left panel of your Gmail pages. You can also set labels to appear only when they contain unread messages (otherwise, they will be hidden).
Choose which labels appear on your messages: In the "Show in message list" column, you can choose whether you'll see each label displayed next to its messages' subject lines. Click hide if you don't want to see that label name when you look at the messages it contains.
Delete labels: If you see a label that you don't want anymore, click remove in the "Actions" column. (You'll have to confirm that you'd like to remove the label by clicking Delete.)
Note: Gmail supports a maximum of 5,000 labels, including sub-labels and IMAP keywords. If you exceed this limit, you may find that your Gmail experience is slower, and you may get an error. We suggest removing the labels that you might not be using anymore (deleting labels won't delete messages).

St. Lawrence County has received more than $33,000 in a court settlement after a monthlong investigation into reported cases of welfare fraud.
County Department of Social Services investigators and the district attorneys office conducted investigations in September focused on the crimes of welfare fraud, offering a false instrument for filing, unlawful use of a benefit card, forgery and other violations of the state penal law.
The programs affected by the reported fraud include Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, temporary assistance, day care, Medicaid and the Home Energy Assistance Program.
During the month, the county obtained judicial settlement of $33,305 and punished individuals preventing them from receiving further benefits from the programs they defrauded.
Investigations are ongoing and arrests are pending.
The public is encouraged to report any suspected welfare fraud activity by calling the DOSS Investigations Unit at 315-379-2145 or by filing a complaint at www.otda.nygov/welfarefraud. Reporters may remain anonymous.
