Yangon (Rangoon)

This morning you will transfer to the boat pier and take a boat trip across the Yangon River. At the other side you take a tuk tuk ride to Twunte village, as you explore the village on foot your guide will tell you about the village. Then it's time to get your hands dirty as you have a go at making some local traditional pottery! Great fun for all the family. After lunch you return to the boat pier and travel back across the river your hotel.Yar Kinn Thar Hotel - 2 nights (B)
Today you'll head out early to catch your flight to the ancient wonder of Bagan. Here spread out across the horizon are the peaks of 4,500 brick and gilded ancient temples. Dotting the skyline in many shapes and forms some say they compare in splendour to the majestic Angkor kingdom. Theravada Buddhism was introduced by the former kings of Pagan (Bagan) in the mid 11th century, which spurred on the swift building of a swathe of temples to worship their gods, be they Buddhist, Hindu or Nat, over the ensuing 200 or so years.
This afternoon you will take a tour by horse and cart (2 people travel per cart) to visit some of the main temples and go shopping in some of the local markets. Hawkers often surround the most popular temples, selling lacquer ware or handicrafts and there are also stalls offering cool drinks and a welcome touch of shade.
The next day you travel to Ngat Pyit Taung Monastery where you can explore the temple's caves and learn about local traditions and beliefs. Later you visit a Monastic Primary School, seeing the local children here as they go about their lessons will give your kids a totally different perspective on school life! There will certainly be many smiling faces to welcome your visit too. Onwards to the town of Nyaung U where you will visit small neighbouring villages and learn about traditional life here. You will see the process of creating "Poneyay" - pea powder paste and watch as local plum jam is made and packed, if you are lucky they will give you a taste of it too!On your second evening in Bagan you will see a colourful marionette performance which will delight the kids, a tasty dinner of traditional Bamar cuisine is included while you watch.Pine Hill Resort - 2 nights (B)
This morning you transfer to Bagan Airport (approx 20 mins) and fly to Heho. Then transfer on to Kalaw. Stopping for lunch enroute. As a former British hill station Kalaw make a welcome retreat from the heat of the lower lying areas. While the surrounding hills are the home to various ethnic minority groups, including the Palaung, Danu and Pa-O.
The following day you will spend the whole day at the RDC orphange. You will take a walk to the local market to see local produce on sale and perhaps shop for some bargains for yourself. Later you will join in a classroom activity with the local children, who will no doubt be delighted by your visit! Enjoy a game of badminton with the children and they will also teach you some local games. There is time for some group singing and you will eat lunch with the children. After lunch a traditional show which is interactive will complete a joyous day here. You will no doubt have made many new little friends during the day and take home some great memories of the experience.
Hupin Khaungdaing Resort - 3 nights
Inle Lake
Setting off across the mountains today you cross the plateau which is crammed with farms and make a stop at the caves of Pindaya. As one of the 'Golden Caves' in Shan state, pilgrims flock to worship the 8000 or so Buddha images which adorn the caverns, tunnels and meditation chambers of this huge limestone cave. You'll venture into the labyrinth of tunnels with your guide to gain a better insight into its history.
Pushing on towards Taungyi, you take the turnoff to the resort town of Nyuangshwe, set at the northern end of Inle Lake and your base for the next few days.
The calm waters of Inle Lake are the life-blood for many ethnic minority communities found in stilt houses in lake's shallow fringes and surrounding areas.
The following day you head out in motorised boats and spend the day taking in all the sights from the distinctive leg rowing of local fishermen casting their nets and Nga Hpe Kyaung Monastery with its jumping cats and collection of ancient Buddha images to the floating tomato plantations and plethora of cottage industries such as silversmiths, weavers and cigar makers. You may even come across the floating market which circles the lake each 5 days, where locals sell traditional wares and you can take advantage of shopping opportunities which might come your way.The final day at Inle is free for you to relax or choose your own activities. Perhaps visit the markets, take a wander around the nearby waterfront, cycle off into neighbouring villages or see old payas/temples and the lovely teak monastery.Asia Plaza Hotel (AA) -1 nights (B)
Yangon (Rangoon)
You bid farewell to the splendour of Shan state as you make your way to Heho airport for your flight back to the hustle and bustle of Yangon. After checking in to your hotel and freshening up you will make a walking tour of downtown Yangon. Here you will visit markets and perhaps have your fortune told at one of the street stalls. In the afternoon you will visit Shwedagon Pagoda and Karaweik. Then travel on to Kandawgi Lake. See the sunset at Shwedagon and visit its temple. You will be shown how to make a traditional prayer offering.
There are no activities planned for the final day and you are able to depart your accommodation at any time. Those on group flights will be transferred to the airport to catch your overnight flight back home. (B)
Fly home
Arrive Home
Temples and Treasures
See Golden Buddhas which gleam in the light. Visit the temples of Bagun which cover a phenomenal area - spanning some 42 sq km and compromising of thousands of brick and gold-gilded stupas - you visit the best of them for a remarkable experience to suit all ages. At Ngat Pyit Taung Monastery discover temples and explore underground caves.
Fun with local children
Spending a day in our supported orphange with Burmese children will give you and your children a fabulous insight into how children in Burma live. They will play, learn and interact together for a whole day, no doubt making lots of new friends and plenty of new discoveries!
Join in local activities
This trip will bring alive the local culture of Burma for your family with plenty of activity and interaction with local people. Get your hands dirty as you try making some traditional pottery, ride a horse and cart to visit local temples and markets, visit a school and join in with their lesson, see how local jam and pea powder paste are made, watch a traditional puppet show and make a prayer offering in a temple. There certainly is plenty to do, and to discover, in Burma for all ages.
Back in Burma
In 2003, there was a call for a boycott on travel to Burma by the then democratically elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose National League for Democracy (NLD) party was denied the right to govern the country by the military dictatorship. After recent positive events within the country including the elections in November 2010, the release of Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest and the subsequent call to end the travel boycott by the NLD, we have been prompted to return to Burma.
By reintroducing our grassroots style of travel, we can contribute to improving the circumstances of the Burmese people by way of initiating a two-way exchange. Firstly, resuming trips will give them a chance to interact with visitors from other countries, thus giving a rare glimpse into life and governance in other parts of the world. Secondly, taking passengers to Burma will help to build awareness of the complex issues this country continues to face, as well as positively contributing to the economy. It is important to note that any of our trips trip to Burma will have been carefully constructed to feature locally owned transport and accommodation wherever possible
Transport - In country flights, Horse Cart, Tuk Tuk, Mini bus, Longtail boat
Accommodation - Hotel (7 nts), Guesthouse (3 nts)
Meals - 10 Breakfasts, 1 Lunches, 1 Dinners

Solar System Game Lesson Plan: Build and Learn
In this solar system lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 3-8, students use BrainPOP resources to define a celestial body and explain how objects orbit and rotate. Students then use online gaming tools to create a replica of our solar system.
Students will:
- Explain how objects orbit and rotate
- Define a celestial body
- Use online gaming tools to create a replica of our solar system
- Projector or interactive whiteboard
- Computers for students to use in playing the game
- Class set of copies of the Note Taking Graphic Organizer
- Internet access for BrainPOP
Preparation:Explore the BrainPOP Build a Solar System Game and preview the movie topic page. Make copies of the graphic organizer. The Build a Solar System game allows students to experiment with the behaviors of various solar systems. The program models the gravitational attraction of stars and planets, and students drag the planets into a rotation. The solar system students build will continue running after they log off, so they can check back later and see if it's still going. You may also want to check out more resources by the developer of this game, which can be found on the SciGames and Space Science Institute websites.
Lesson Procedure:
- Tell the class that today they will use a BrainPOP movie and game to learn about the orbit and rotation of planets in our solar system. Show the Note Taking Graphic Organizer to students. Explain that you will play the movie twice. The first time, they should watch and listen. During the second viewing, you will distribute the graphic organizer and allow them to take notes.
- After playing the movie through the second time, give students several minutes to work in pairs or groups to compare notes and ensure accuracy.
- Project the Build a Solar System Game for students to see. Facilitate a short discussion about how the planets rotate and orbit. Model game play as needed for students.
- Allow students to play the game in pairs for about 10-15 minutes.
- Bring the class back to a whole class discussion. What strategies have been useful in making sure the solar system operates correctly? What happens if a planet is placed in an incorrect rotation or orbit? How does the game relate to our actual solar system?
- Give students additional time to play the game on their own. You may wish to use the game as an assessment tool and note which students need assistance to create a replica of our solar system. Or, have students create a 3D model of the solar system using concrete materials.
- Since the solar system keeps running after game play, have students check back the following day to see if the system they created is still going, and make corrections as needed.
- As a warm up, project the Activity for students and challenge them to complete it in their notebooks, either individually or with a partner.
Extension Activity:As students continue to learn about the solar system, introduce them to the Chronopticon game. The Elapsed Time and Constellations with Chronopticon Lesson Plan provides ideas for integrating the game into your curriculum.

What is now the John Deere Golf Classic Tournament started in 1971. In 2013, it will take place July 8 to 14 and is a PGA Tour-sanctioned event including 156 Tour players and a $4.6 million purse. In its 40+ year history, the tournament has almost been discontinued twice. From 1975 to 1980, Ed McMahon was the emcee, and up until 1979, the tournament included stars such as Jerry Lewis, Bob Hope, Mickey Rooney, and Telly Savalas, thanks to its Pro-Am.
The first sponsors of the Quad-Cities Open were three men from Kewanee, Ill, who owned nine Quad-Cities area Hardee's franchises; these ties led to the Hardee's Golf Classic's birth in 1986, a title held through 1994. The Hardee's sponsorship came to an end in 1994 and the search for new sponsorship began once again. The tournament was granted a five-year window to find a title sponsor in agreement with taking a backseat to the bi-annual President's Cup event.
Here are player interviews after the 2012 event.
Here is a series of time lapse videos behind-the-scenes of setting up for the tour.
In 1997, PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem and Deere chairman and CEO Hans Becherer announced plans to build the Tournament Players Club Deere Run on the Friendship Farms property owned since 1928 by the ancestors of company-founder John Deere. One of the key elements in the deal included Deere becoming the official golf course equipment supplier of the TPC network of courses as well as the title sponsor of the John Deere Classic.
TPC Deere Run became the site of the John Deere Golf Classic in 2000, and Deere has since extended its sponsorship through 2016, making it one of the longest agreements on Tour.
Since Deere has become the title sponsor, the event has featured two impressive records. Paul Goydos shot a tournament single-round record score of 59 in 2010, the same year Steve Stricker set an overall tournament low record score of 258 in four rounds. The score marked the second victory of Stricker's remarkable three-consecutive finishes atop the leaderboard, which ended in 2012 when Zach Johnson became the new champion.
Each year the winner of the John Deere Classic receives a unique trophy created specifically for the tournament by renowned sculptor and jewelry designer Malcolm DeMille. The trophy is a custom-made fine art sculpture cast and finished in bronze that depicts a deer bounding across a fairway in front of an elevated green bordered by a stream. The leaping deer has been a part of the company's logo for more than 170 years, and the golf course setting refers to the company's major presence in the golf and turf equipment market.
John Deere's involvement in golf extends beyond the tournament. John Deere is now a Trustee of The First Tee, a non-profit youth organization that provides life skills and character education programs to young people using golf as a platform. John Deere will donate $1 million over five years to The First Tee, further emphasizing Deere's active commitment to the game of golf and the career development of professionals in the golf maintenance industry.

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) announced on Wednesday that he will introduce legislation next week to "nullify" unconstitutional executive orders that President Obama has said he will issue to implement new national gun controls.
Appearing on the Fox network with Sean Hannity, Paul pointed out that several of the president's executive orders "appear as if he's writing new law," which would be an executive trespass on the legislative powers of Congress and a violation of the Constitution's separation of powers. "I'm afraid that President Obama may have this 'king complex' sort of developing, and we're going to make sure it doesn't happen," he told Hannity.
Supporters of Obama's push to restrict private ownership of firearms are hoping to exploit the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting tragedy to eviscerate the Second Amendment.
The New American contacted Sen. Paul's office today to obtain details of his legislative proposal, which was not yet available on his website. Both Sen. Paul and his media spokesman were out of the office, so the only particulars of his "Separation of Powers Restoration and Second Amendment Protection of 2013" to be found at this time is a one-page summary draft plan that has appeared on the website Talking Points Memo.
"We only have descriptions of the executive actions, yet many could be construed to describe an attempt by the executive to make laws in violation of the Article 1, Sec. 8 of the Constitution and the 2nd Amendment," reads the one-page summary.
"Congress has enumerated powers in the Constitution," it continues, "and any executive order by President Obama infringing on the Second Amendment rights of all Americans would be declared 'null and void.'"
Paul's plan also contemplates using Congress' power of the purse strings to withhold funding from any attempt to implement unconstitutional executive order attacks on the 2nd Amendment.

NCU 6, Rice 3
SOUTH BURLINGTON–Adam Viens had two goals and an assist on Wednesday as North Country defeated Rice 6-3 at the Cairns Arena.
The Falcons had Chase LaCourse in goal, and despite the three goals allowed, LaCourse had a strong game in net for NCU, blocking 19 shots in the win.
"He made some good stops fur us tonight," said NCU coach Andrew Roy.
At the end of the first, the Falcons were up 2-1 on goals by Ryan O'Donnell and Viens.
By the time two periods had been played, the score was knotted at 3-3, with Ross DeLaBruere having scored the third Falcon goal.
North Country came out in the third and buried three goals in the Green Knight net.
Viens and DeLaBruere each tallied their second goals of the game in the frame, and Logan Fortier scored as well.
The win moves NCU to 13-4-2 and keeps them in fourth place in the Metro Division.
Rice drops to 4-14.
A long bus ride awaits the Falcons on Saturday when they travel to Middlebury for a 7:00 showdown with the Tigers.
Rice 2, NCU 1
SOUTH BURLINGTON–Sometimes losing is not a bad thing.

Rice went ahead at the 2:45 marker in the second, and would make the lead stand-up, as they bested NCU to move to 8-6-2.

OGDENSBURG County legislators five-year plan to use a proposed sales tax increase to restore the county fund balance and lower property taxes gained support from most of the City Council.
If state legislators approve home rule legislation, St. Lawrence County would be able to raise its sales tax from 3 to 4 percent. Under the current plan, the city would be asked to keep its current 6.4 percent share of the sales tax receipts.
When people hear about any sort of tax increase, the immediate assumption is that government will just spend it right away, said Philip A. Cosmo, Ogdensburg comptroller. It is clear with this plan that the intent is not to do that.
With a sales tax increase and if the city agreed to its current share and the towns and villages received 10 percent of the increase the county tax levy could drop 14.3 percent in 2014. The 2013 county tax levy increase was 14.4 percent.
Under a 2009 agreement with the city, the county keeps half of what it collects in sales tax and distributes what is left to towns and villages after the city takes its cut. The county is proposing to change the percentage distributed to towns and villages, but only of the proposed sales tax increase.
Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb, chairman of the committee that drafted the plan, said raising the sales tax would help fix an imbalance in county revenue.
In 2012, we received 72 percent of our (tax) revenue from property taxes and only 28 percent from the sales tax, he said. Based on our assumptions, with the sales tax increase we would receive 58 percent of our revenue from property taxes. It just seems much more fair.
Mr. Morrill said, based on the countys assumptions, if Ogdensburgs percentage stayed the same, it could reap more than $4,716,000 in additional sales tax revenues over the next five years. If the county successfully raises the sales tax, Ogdensburgs 2014 receipts would increase by $916,000, enabling the city to lower its property tax levy 19.9 percent from a 2013 level of $4,604,457.
Mayor William D. Nelson said the city should mimic the countys five-year projections.
Id like to see us put together a five-year plan, he said. We could take that plan and show to the taxpayers what were going to do with their money.
While supporting the tax increase, Councilwoman Jennifer Stevenson expressed some reservations.
I would ask that we not raise sales tax on utilities and necessities, she said. Things like gasoline and heating fuel, I dont think we can ask our taxpayers to pay more for those items.
Councilman William D. Hosmer said the plan ignored the cause of the north countrys fiscal woes.
I see nothing here that reins in expenditures or acknowledges the need for mandate relief, he said. I am in favor of a sales tax increase, but only if we give the money back to the people.
Karen M. St. Hilaire, St. Lawrence County administrator, said the plan awaits the citys agreement and sponsorship in the state Senate.
If we had approval to move forward, and if Senator (Patricia A.) Ritchie moved this forward, it would probably be approved in three to six months, she said. The earliest well see any revenue from this is late fall.
City officials said it might not be in Ogdensburgs best interest to put all of its additional revenue towards lowering property taxes, suggesting some of the money go to restore Ogdensburgs fund balance, which has been depleted in recent years as the council has tried to keep property taxes low.
Looking at what the county put together, the major selling point is that this is going to be used to create a fund balance, Mr. Cosmo said.
The countys additional revenue would not be allocated for additional expenditures, Mr. Morrill said.
Every nickle will lower property tax or build up the fund balance, he said.
The proposal already has gained support from the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce.

I go through these phases, where I have lots of ideas for new designs in my head, but I am unable to get them out. It's a slump, and I've learned that the best thing to do is let other designers inspire me.
Like I said in my last post, I'm working on my first Cookie A pattern. This is a new pattern from her new book, Knit.Sock.Love. (as opposed to patterns in the book that have been previously published). I purchased the print and digital versions, and printed out the pattern for Cusp before the book arrived.
Then the book arrived, and although it was all the same as in the PDF that I downloaded (I think – I did not go through page by page), the book was spectacular. My only complaint is that I don't have enough solid colors of sock yarn in my stash to knit all the patterns right away. So that's not really a complaint at all, you see.
Following a pattern by an amazing designer and superb pattern writer is very inspiring for this designer. I see this slump of mine as less of a bummer, and more of a learning experience. Thanks, Cookie A!
And that brings me to Thanksgiving! If you're celebrating tomorrow, I hope you have a great time with your family and friends. I'll be busy today baking a few pies, resting my back after throwing it out while trying to find the right size turkey, and getting ready to host our very first Thanksgiving dinner!
I'm doing something special here on Friday, so check back then to find out all the details. Gobble gobble gobble gobble…

BUFFALO, NY - Buffalo State President Aaron Podolefsky, who was currently on sick leave, is officially stepping down as President at the end of July.
Podolefsky made the announcement Monday in a letter to the Buffalo State community.
Podolefsky, who is being treated for prostate cancer, wants to focus on his health.
"In what has been a personally challenging and arduous journey, I've given long, thoughtful consideration to the next step on this life path and have concluded that my overall well-being and quality of life must be my first priority," Podolefsky said in an e-mail message to Buffalo State faculty, staff, and students. "Therefore, I share with you the news that I've notified SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher that I will be stepping down as president of Buffalo State, effective July 31."
Podolefsky added, "Serving as Buffalo State's president has been one of the greatest privileges in my professional life in public higher education. It's been an honor to work with such dedicated, talented and remarkable faculty and staff. From the first time I set foot on campus, I have felt at home and welcomed by this community. (My wife) Ronnie and I will always be grateful for our time in the Buffalo State family."
A search for a new president will begin this fall. Howard Cohen, chancellor emeritus of Purdue University Calumet, will serve as Buffalo State's interim president during the 2013-14 academic year.

Many of our state lawmakers hailed the first major revamp of liquor laws for Utah in 10 years as a big victory in the fight against underage drinking and drunk driving.
However, the way I see it, it is just another way, once again, to punish the "sinners" in the state and those that help those sinners to imbibe. Heaven forbid that they might make a profit from that unholy work.
Now don't get me wrong. I am not for underage drinking and I am, myself not a big drinker. My family all gets a huge kick out of how long a six pack sits in our fridge (I might go through two of them a year) and wine often sits in my basement rack so long that it increases in value because of it's vintage date.
But I am concerned when a state that is trying to attract people via it's tourist industry and is trying to survive one of the worst recessions in a very long time, does something that is going hurt businesses.
There are many issues involved here, and Utah certainly isn't the only state that spends a lot of time going after money in the form of taxes on "vices." So as much as I think part of all this mess is a form of punishment for those of us that do, rather than the part that don't, lets not even consider that aspect of this.
First is the extra penny per bottle for beer. The price increase is certainly not going to stop anyone, but the fact that the taxes from that particular refreshment gets used for everything but what it is supposed to be used for by lawmakers each year, makes me feel very uneasy. Early in the session there was a big debate about this, with the very people who are the ones who usually steal that money annually for their pet projects, confronted by those that thought if it was going to be raised it should go to drinking education programs and drunk driving enforcement. Nonetheless the raise came and next year we will see if the traditional absconder of booze money can keep their hands off the fruitcake.
But the other issue in this revamp bothered me much more. While they are now allowing a special "limited" restaurant license that allows wine to be served at certain establishments along with beer ( a good thing), the new law on minors being in Class D private clubs after 1 p.m. is another slap in the face to small private clubs that rely on alcohol revenue to support their food service activities (a bad thing). Many of these clubs rely on family business where mom and dad come in for dinner with the kids and the adults in the group have a drink with a nice meal while the kids down their soda pop. But legislators seemed to think if these kids even see the sight of a hard drink they will somehow absorb it into their brain through their eyeballs and instantly become sobriety deprived.
During the session many clubs protested this change, but it fell on deaf ears as the lawmakers went ahead and passed the new provisions to keep minors out of the clutches of the evil doers. It is obvious the "looser" controls of the Olympic Games celebration is over now that those we welcomed from the world have departed along with their dollars. It would be interesting to see how those same people might feel if they return to the beehive state again. It's just another fine feather in the cap of Utah politics.

The Cajun connection of Gavin Culpepper and Landon Thibodeaux proved to be too much for the Watertown Rams on Sunday.
Culpepper pitched seven innings of two-hit ball and Thibodeaux homered, doubled and knocked in five runs to pace the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs to a 10-5 victory over the suddenly struggling Rams in a Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League game at Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds.
I feel good, said Culpepper, who is a Louisiana native, as is Thibodeaux. I was able to throw strikes and get ahead of the batters early in the count. This is the most Ive thrown in a game in a while.
The 6-foot-8 Culpepper struck out 10 and issued only one walk in an 86-pitch performance in his longest outing of the year for Mohawk Valley (8-8), including his sophomore season at Southeastern Louisiana.
He dominated us its that simple, Watertown coach Paul Alteri said of Culpepper. He controlled the game and he had (10) strikeouts. He had us under control until we got to their pen.
Gavin was great, Mohawk Valley coach Nick Cacciola said. All night, he pitched ahead and put batters away. He mixed his pitches well and it was a great effort.
Watertown (5-9) managed only one run against Culpepper. The Rams did put seven runners on base, but only two reached scoring position.
I feel like if we can just turn the bats on earlier, get more runs and compete a little bit better, we can be a better team, Rams third baseman J.J. Wagner said. We got down early and we were kind of dormant with our bats, which put us in a hole.
Despite getting plenty of run support during much of the past week, Rams pitchers have struggled of late, allowing double-digit run totals in three of their past five games and yielding 53 runs over their last seven games.
The last couple games have been tough to swallow, said Alteri, whose team has lost three consecutive games. Getting down by that many (runs) took a lot of wind out of our sails. ... Were not hitting the ball and then you tack on another poor performance from our starting pitching those two things dont add up to anything very good.
While the Rams were shut down for much of the game by Culpepper, the Diamond Dawgs jumped on Watertown starter Kevin Klaess early.
After Dalton Herrington and Willie Shaw reached base on a pair of two-out walks, Thibodeaux (LSU-Eunice) poked a three-run home run over the left field fence for a 3-0 Mohawk Valley lead.
Watertown generated a run in the second inning on sacrifice fly to center field by Wagner, but the DiamondDawgs answered with Casey Rodrigues run-scoring single in the third inning.
Mohawk Valley struck for three more runs in the fourth inning to lead 7-1 highlighted by Thibodeauxs two-run double to left field.
It was awesome, Culpepper said of his run support. Weve been in a little bit of a slump, but we swung the bats well today.
After the DiamondDawgs tacked on a single run in each of the fifth through seventh innings to lead 7-1, the Rams scored three runs in the eighth as Joe Maroney doubled and scored on a wild pitch and Wagner drove in two runs with a single.
Cameron Allen of Sackets Harbor delivered a pinch-hit, run-scoring single in the ninth inning for Watertown to record his first hit in the PGCBL.
Craig Lepre doubled, singled twice and drove in a run for Mohawk Valley, and Trey Hunt hit a solo home run.
This is a big win for us, it puts us back at .500 going into our first off day of the season, Cacciola said.
After a day off today, the Rams play at Amsterdam at 7:05 p.m. on Tuesday and return to host Glens Falls at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
We need to get a streak going, Wagner said. When we have it, we have it but we need to figure out how to be more consistent every day.
nNOTES: Pitcher Chase Hessler, who arrived in town on Saturday, made his season debut with Watertown and tossed a scoreless ninth inning. ... Allen, who joined the then Watertown Wizards in the final week of the 2012 regular season, has now made six appearances this year for the Rams, including two starts in the outfield.

[PRODUCER POP] Talkdemonic. Blind Pilot. Horse Feathers. World's Greatest Ghosts. If you peruse the liner notes of many of the best indie rock and folk albums released in Portland over the past five years, you'll notice one common name scrawled in every booklet: producer Skyler Norwood. The 30-year-old musician spends most of his days holed up at Miracle Lake Studios in the basement of his father's three-story home in Camas, working on music for other people. Finding the time to complete his own album wasn't so easy.
"After a long day, the last thing I want to do is mess with my own stuff—I want to go home and listen to Otis Redding or Duke Ellington or Wu-Tang," Norwood says. "It's a delicate balance to give the songs that I do the same amount of love that I do to my other projects and the bands I produce."
The lanky and fidgety Norwood has long thrived as a supporting actor, both for dream-pop quartet Point Juncture, WA, and the bands he produces, but Team Evil's Mad Reciprocity shows that he can also write a killer two-minute pop song. The group—currently Norwood with friends Victor Nash, Courtney Sheedy, Jordan McCann and Ian Krist—has played together for at least five years, though Mad Reciprocity is technically its first official full-length. Dense and layered, the band's sound is a culmination of all the music he loves and a strict set of principles (no distortion, no long songs, lots of trumpet and vibraphone) that made finishing the long-delayed record a breeze. "It all happened really fast and organically," Norwood says of the recording sessions. "Some of the songs happen so fast that you want to rewind, but that's all intentional—I want people to go, 'Wait, what's that?' and play it again."
Musically, Team Evil's mellow rock doesn't fall too far from the Point Juncture family tree, finding a neat middle ground between post-rock Chicago (the Sea and Cake) and the Northwest guitar rock (Sunny Day Real Estate) that Norwood and guitarist McCann loved growing up as teenagers in suburban Florida. Norwood has even picked up a few tricks from the artists he's worked with: "Capricorn" with a looped pump organ and shaker, sounds like vintage Talkdemonic, and the 54-second "Perfect Shading" is his attempt at writing a Guided by Voices song. Mad Reciprocity even has a loose concept documenting Norwood's 20s, like The Village Green Preservation Society set as a soundtrack to Portlandia.
"Musicians are cranky and hard to deal with," Norwood cracks with a straight face. "I love playing with Team Evil because it's nice to get away from that and just jam with your friends."
SEE IT: Team Evil plays Saturday, Jan. 22, at Doug Fir with On the Stairs, Ivan & Alyosha and Petoskey. 9 pm. $5. 21+.

Sarie Guy
CARBONVILLE/ST. GEORGE - Our loving mother, nanny, sister, friend and beautiful wife, Sarie Martino Guy passed away peacefully at her home in St. George on Dec. 10, 2012 at the age of 67.
She was born July 24, 1945 in Price to Sam S. and Mary Ann DiMaggio Martino.
Sarie was raised in Price, where she graduated from Carbon High School and the College of Eastern Utah. She married Dan Guy on Sept. 11, 1965. They had two children - Dana & David. They built a house in Carbonville in 1973 and she turned it into a home for her family for the next 37 years. She always tried to make people feel at home in her house, and her children have fond memories of the place filled with family and friends.
Sarie was an accomplished cosmetologist as well as a homemaker, and she spent many years working with her own salon, and with the public. She enjoyed the outdoors, gardening, fishing and especially camping with family on the Gentry Mountain. As health issues made it more difficult to go to the mountains, she spent more time collecting antiques with her husband and special friend Lynn.
With all of her talents and hobbies, her greatest love was for her family. If you knew Sarie for only a few minutes, you also knew how special her children and grandchildren were. There was never a Nanny that loved her grandkids more than this lady!
In her 67 years of life, she touched numerous lives. She will be sorely missed and never forgotten. We look forward to the day we are reunited with her.
She is survived by her husband Dan. W. Guy, St. George; daughter, Dana (Sam) Marrelli, Helper; son, Dave (Rebecca) Guy, Montrose, Colo; grandchildren Lacie and Haley Sheppard, Kylee and Logan Guy; sister, Rosanne (Ronald) Kulow; brother, Sam (Dianne) Martino.
She is preceded in death by her father and mother Sam and Mary Ann Martino.
"God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be. So He wrapped his arms around you, And whispered, "come to me."
You didn't deserve what you went through, So He gave you rest. Gods's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. And when I saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain I could not wish you back to suffer that again.
Memorial Mass, Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012, 11 a.m., St. Anthony Catholic Church in Helper. Family will receive friends at the church Saturday morning one hour prior to services. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price, where friends are welcome daily and may share memories of Sarie at www.mitchellfuneralhome.net.

Your Who What Wear editors love an offbeat, Bill Murray cult classic as much as the next cinema aficionado, which is why the whole office is particularly enthused to share this month's quirky and utterly amazing Currently Channeling story: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou! It almost sounds too good to be true, right? Well, after much careful examination, we were delighted to find that the film's whimsical underwater theme was indeed epitomized on a number of runways this season, from Balenciaga's netted dresses to Karen Walker's bright orange prints. With those collections in mind, we decided to set off on an adventurous journey of our own to find some of the coolest, ocean-inspired items that are not only spot-on picks for fall, but also perfectly capture the spirit of Steve Zissou's eccentric world. At this risk of sounding too smarmy, we think we can safely say: mission accomplished!
Written and directed by Wes Anderson, the The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is a comedy that follows oceanographer Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) on his quest to find the Jaguar shark that ate his partner. Zissou's crew comes along on this "scientific" project, including his wife Eleanor (Anjelica Huston), second-in-command Klaus Daimler (Willem Dafoe), potential son Ned Plimpton (Owen Wilson), and reporter Jane Winslett-Richardson (Cate Blanchett) who is there to document the voyage. As with any Wes Anderson flick, the plot introduces you to a bevy of interesting and flawed characters, gives you dry humor galore, and takes place in an exaggerated, almost dream-like setting-for example, the oceans are filled with magical creatures, like albino scout dolphins and research turtles that wear headgear-all of which result in one hilarious, must-see movie!
Admittedly, there isn't a whole lot to say for the sartorial aspect of this film-blue wetsuits and red beanies pretty much sum it all up-but we did find loads of inspiration for today's story from the imaginative, whimsical world Anderson created. Look closely, and you'll be able to see a hint of crew's individualistic sensibilities and the film's brightly colored sea creatures in all of the featured items. Now, without further adieu, we give you Currently Channeling: The Life Aquatic!
CoSTUME NATIONAL Crepe Wool Coat ($3330, 212.431.1530) in Dusty Blue
We couldn't imagine a more perfect piece of outerwear for today's story than this amazing coat by CoSTUME NATIONAL. First, we'd like to point out the sky blue color, which happens to be quite similar, if not an exact match, to the crew's uniform shirts. Even better: keeping warm and stylish this winter will be a snap, thanks to its cozy streamlined crepe wool fabric. All in all, we believe this coat is one hundred percent worth the investment, however, if you can't quite commit to the hefty price tag, we think both Steve by Searie's Boyfriend Coat ($440) and ASOS' Premium Car Coat in Brushed Wool ($219) are superb alternatives worth checking out!
Topshop Premium Multi Eye Cluster Ring ($35) in Gold
The second we spotted this wonderfully bizarre ring from Topshop, we couldn't help but think of the film's fanciful, imaginary sea creatures-think: crayon ponyfish, rhinestone tuna, and sugar crabs. The cluster of bright eyeballs makes this little bauble a fun statement piece that will add just the right amount of creative quirkiness to any look.
AIKO Bianca Dress ($145) in Charcoal Melange
If you're searching for a dress that is both comfortable and stylish, there's no need to look any further. The AIKO Bianca Dress is a cozy option for fall and winter, thanks to its thermal jersey material. Even better: it's a versatile piece that can be worn to the office (with a sleek blazer and heels) or an after-hours soiree (dressed up with statement jewelry). However you choose to style it, we guarantee it will be get a lot of wear this season!
Mismo Backpack ($540)
You can't embark on a voyage, or any trip for that matter, without a trusty carryall in tow! But of course, if it's a big adventure you have in mind-like, say tracking down a Jaguar shark-a mini bag just won't do. Instead, we recommend picking up a functional-yet-chic backpack like this one by Mismo. Whether you're headed to class or planning a weekend jaunt, its superior design is perfect for storing all your essentials and more. We especially approve of its mix of olive green canvas and dark brown leather, which gives the bag a retro, utilitarian spirit. We also approve of Kimchi Blue's Canvas Backpack ($68), which has a similarly stylish look but at a fraction of the cost.
American Apparel Unisex Cuffed Acrylic Lined Beanie ($20) in Red
One of the most standout pieces of the "Team Zissou" uniform is the red beanie, which is why we simply had to include this one from American Apparel. Not only is it almost identical to the ones worn in the film, but it's also a great accessory to have on hand for those chilly winter days. If the bright red hue is a bit much for you, we suggest opting for a darker shade like black or gray a la the Karen Walker F/W 11 runway instead. Either way, the resulting look will be quite cozy and stylish!
Kelsi Dagger Addina Heels ($129, available October 1st) in Cream Mushroom
When it came down to selecting the right shoe for today's Currently Channeling story, we knew just the designer to turn to: Kelsi Dagger! Whether you're searching for a classic nude pump or something with a little more flash and personality, trust us, she's got it all. Right now, we've got our eye on the new Addina Heels, which offer a neutral take on the ongoing colorblocking trend. We love the sleek design and are even more enamored with the mix of materials-the shoe features a suede front with leather trim and a rubber cap toe-which give the shoes a cool, futuristic look. We think they would look smart worn with a button-up shirt and leather shorts.
ASOS Sequin Mini Skirt ($137, available end of September) in Neon Green
At the Prada F/W 11 show, we were mesmerized by the dresses and coats covered in brightly colored pailettes, which created the illusion of glossy scales. Happily, you don't have to invest quite so much to get this ocean-inspired look! This fluorescent skirt from ASOS fits the bill to a T, and is perfect in keeping with the overall theme of today's story. The mix of shimmering neon yellow and green sequins remind us of the vibrant sea creatures we see throughout the film. We think this statement-making piece is fitting for a GNO or fashion party, don't you agree?
Marc by Marc Jacobs Jungle Tee ($335) in Animal Print
If you couldn't already tell, our next pick is in honor of the infamous Jaguar shark. The burnt orange color is just as bold and eye-catching as the shark itself, while the animal print is a nod to the elusive creature's intriguing spots. Take this silky tee from day to night by pairing it with a leather skirt and simple black pumps.
NARS Nail Polish ($17) in Galion
Come fall, we always find ourselves reaching for gray nail polish, as the color pretty much goes with everything and always looks chic. And while last year it was a transitional heather gray hue that piqued our interest, this time around we're smitten with darker shades, hence our inclusion of NARS' new-for-fall lacquer Gallion. We love the stormy color, which is subtler than black, plus, it also reminds us of the Mediterranean ocean's errie abyss!
Illesteva Leonard Sunglasses ($165) in Blond
While many of you might not immediately think of sunglasses as a fall wardrobe necessity, we'd beg to differ. With that in mind, we believe this quirky pair by Illesteva is a must for anyone hoping to channel the slightly quirky nature of Zissou and his team this season. With modern, see-through yellow frames and an of-the-moment round shape, these sunglasses are undeniably cool. The best part: they'll add just the right amount of playfulness to your layered winter looks.-Jessica Baker

Here's a story from the Town of Elma that helps to remind you that people here in Western New York really do pull together to help someone in trouble.
It happened about 5:00 Wednesday evening when a car traveling east along Jamison Road suddenly veered off the road just east of Ostrander Road. The car just missed utility poles but did strike a large pine tree which caused it to roll over on its roof with the 17 year old female driver and her 12 year old passenger trapped inside.
People driving by and neighbors rushed to the overturned 2000 Nissan Altima to help. Several men then jumped in to literally lift the car to free those inside. The younger girl was removed but an EMT and arriving Jamison Road firefighters had to use the jaws of life device to get the 17 year old driver out from the compressed wreckage.
One man contacted 2 On Your Side to give us this account :"An EMT had come up and we went to the other side of the vehicle and he crawled underneath and found that indeed there was a driver there and she was having severe difficulty. She couldn't breathe. And then suddenly there were two other men by my side and we lifted the car so he could position her head to breathe."
Michael Lock, a former volunteer firefighter who lives nearby the crash scene, says he also used a special tool to help stabilize the car and jack it up so it would stay up. Others actually piled rocks to help hold up the vehicle.
The Insurance Institute lists the weight of the car at just over 3,000 pounds.
Sheriff's Investigators say the 17 year old driver was flown by Mercy Flight to ECMC where she is listed in critical condition. The 12 year old girl was taken to Women and Children's Hospital where she is in stable condition.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

En español | Q: I am new to Social Security and have some questions about how the system works. At what point in the month will I get my Social Security payment?
A: Social Security uses a birthday system to decide when to pay your retirement benefits.
If your birthday falls on the 1st to 10th of the month, Social Security will pay benefits on the second Wednesday of the month. If your birthday is from the 11th to the 20th, payment is on the third Wednesday. And if your birthday is from the 21st to the 31st, payment is on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
People who are newly joining Social Security also should know that retiree benefits are paid the month after they are accrued. If you become eligible for your first benefit for the month of October, Social Security will pay your October benefit in November.
To see when benefits will be paid, go to Social Security's website and search for "payment dates."
Q: What happens if Social Security pays me too much and wants to take the money back?
But don't do your own calculation. If you didn't receive a notification from Social Security about an overpayment, call to make sure you and the agency agree on how much is owed and how it will be repaid. For questions about overpayments, call 800-772-1213 (TTY 800-325-0778).
You should be aware that Social Security can also get the money back by withholding your monthly check until the overpayment is repaid in full. While Social Security works hard to collect on overpayments, it also can be flexible. The agency's website says "if paying back the money would be a hardship, we might accept installment payments or offer a compromise settlement."

The inventor Johann Morat founds a Company in Eisenbach in the Black Forest which focuses on the development of machines to produce gear wheels and axles for mechanical clocks. Over the years, this company grows, due largely to his inventive skills and a commitment to highest precision and efficiency.
At the end of the 1960's, the company begins the production of gear assemblies. It is a request from a customer that results in IMS Morat Söhne manufacturing RF connectors and cable assemblies. The new business division for RF-Connectors production iss established in 1972.
Reacting to market requirements, the product range is expanded and 1985 the first components for cellular phones aree manufactured.
This new line of business proves to be successful and in 1989 the new independent company IMS Connector Systems is founded. The product range include RF-Connectors, cable assemblies and first mobile phone components.
In the 1990's the fast growing story starts. High levels of investment are made in order to establish a strong R&D and modern production facilities. At the end of the 1990's, new manufacturing plants are established in the US, Hungary and China. IMS Connector Systems becomes a global player.
In co-operation with IMST, a well known RF design house, IMS Connector Systems starts a new business area called "Your global antenna team". It offers innovative, customised and cost-efficient antenna solutions for mobile communication.
IMS Connector Systems commences its activities as a supplier to the demanding automotive market. Its new FAKRA-compliant SMBA connectors and cable assemblies assure perfect connections in today's "communications centre car".
Due to the relocation of important production sites by our customers, we are now concentrating our own production activities in two modern production centres in China and Hungary.
With new manufacturing technologies such as Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) and forward-looking proprietary developments such as QLS® (Quick Lock Standard) coaxial connectors and miniature antenna switches, IMS Connector Systems is meeting the growing market requirements with regard to quality and cost-efficiency.
IMS Connector Systems strengthens its activities in the field of medical technology by offering innovative and reliable products with their in-house developped RF connector series MedEasyLock®. These connectors comply with the high demands of this branch.

Click this link for the latest CBS renewal / cancellation information:
Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts the network's decision on renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows by the end of the 2012-13 season in May, 2013. (includes results from September 17-October 7, 2012):
|Renew/ Cancel Index
|Made In Jersey (F)
|(canceled 10/10)
|Blue Bloods (F)
|The Good Wife
|The Mentalist
|Hawaii Five-0
|Person Of Interest
|Mike & Molly
|Criminal Minds
|NCIS: Los Angeles
|How I Met Your Mother
|Two And A Half Men
|2 Broke Girls
|Big Bang Theory
|already renewed
10/10 Update: Made In Jersey is the first canceled show of the season.
Last season the Renew/Cancel Index adopted the rule of "If a show will be within one season of syndication at the end of this season, it will fall no further than a "toss up" for renewal or cancellation". Now, at least for CBS (and perhaps other nets later), I'm taking it up a notch.
Since CBS is a well oiled syndication machine, and has shown that it will sacrifice low current ratings for the bounty (or even the potential bounty) that the syndication gods provide I am christening a new rule: If a CBS produced & aired scripted show reaches a third season it is certain to receive a fourth. That fourth season typically ensures at least the minimum number of episodes (~88) needed for stripped syndication.
On that basis, I have moved both Hawaii Five-0 (already sold to TNT) and Blue Bloods to "certain to be renewed". Cue both doubting and relieved commenters!
While the syndication gods demanded the current fourth season for ratings loser The Good Wife, they are not guaranteed to demand a fifth, so it will likely remain a "toss up" all season long.
Made in Jersey is the biggest CBS Fall premiere drama flop in quite some time (arguably, ever). It's certain to be canceled, the only question is when.
Since CBS typically cancels its lowest rated sitcom each season, rookie sitcom Partners doesn't have much of a life expectancy either, it's almost certain to be replaced, likely by Rules Of Engagement, sooner rather than later.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
*shows no longer on the air have their Renew/Cancel Index "frozen" at the point they left the schedule.
- - certain to be cancelled by May, 2013
- :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2013
- - toss up between renewal or cancellation by May, 2013
- - more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2013
- - certain to be renewed by May, 2013
The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.

Several veterans groups in Houston, Texas, are joining an area pastor in suing the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for religious discrimination, charging that at least one VA official banned prayers and certain religious terms during funerals for veterans at the Houston National Cemetery (pictured). The latest charges follow a Memorial Day controversy in which the cemetery's director, Arleen Ocasio, censored a prayer that the Rev. Scott Rainey had planned to deliver during a service at the cemetery, removing the name of Jesus from the prayer. As reported by The New American, Rainey filed suit, and a federal judge granted a temporary restraining order against the VA, ruling that Rainey's prayer qualified as free speech protected under the First Amendment, and allowing him to proceed with his original prayer.

GLENFIELD Small animal care students at Howard G. Sackett Technical Center got a lesson in surgical procedures during a spay and neuter clinic.
Its a huge benefit to the students, class instructor Blake L. Place said.
This is a fantastic opportunity, said Bea B. Schermerhorn, Hammond, Spay/Neuter/Now founder. It shows them the different aspects of veterinarian services.
During the Friday clinic, 30 cats including several strays found by Lewis County Department of Social Services staff near their office on outer Stowe Street in Lowville and seven dogs were fixed. Students took turns viewing surgical procedures in the organizations mobile clinic, the Neuter Commuter, then monitoring animals while their anesthesia was wearing off. They have to keep the environment sterile, Mrs. Place said.
The Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services small animal care program, now in its fourth year, prepares students for a variety of careers, including veterinarian, veterinary assistant, veterinary technician, groomer, animal caretaker and zoologist, she said.
And, for most of the students, the clinic was their first experience with animal surgeries, Mrs. Place said.
Senior Nathaniel G. Aubin, Copenhagen, admitted that he got a little woozy while observing a canine castration procedure done by veterinarian Michael N. Romp of Vermont. Mr. Aubin, who is considering a career in the Navy, said he hadnt planned to go into veterinary science and definitely does not now.
However, he said that Fridays session was very interesting and that Mrs. Places class itself is enjoyable and informative. Best teacher Ive ever had, Mr. Aubin said. By far.
Spay/Neuter/Now general manager Kevin T. Mace said Friday was one of the first times his organization, now celebrating its 20th year of operation in St. Lawrence County, has held a clinic in a school setting, but he expects it wont be the last.
Along with offering hands-on training, the event provided a platform to talk with students about the issues that come with animal overpopulation, he said.
Mr. Mace said his organization not only provides low-cost spay and neutering services for low-income and military families, but gives rabies and distemper vaccinations to animals that are lacking them. Historically, nearly all the animals seen at the clinics have not been up to date on their shots, he said.
Students also brought in baked goods and other items for sale, with proceeds going to Spay/Neuter/Now.
Its just an awesome opportunity to do community service, Mrs. Place said.
