CANTON St. Lawrence County is upgrading its wired network while expanding into the wireless world.
Legislators have agreed to transfer $50,000 from a contingency account to begin upgrading and replacing the countys fleet of computers that use the Windows XP operating system. Microsoft intends to stop support for Windows XP in April 2014, rendering the countys system open to hackers.
We do have vulnerable information in our databases, said Keith J. Zimmerman, interim Information Technology director. Weve been able to delay because Microsoft continued to support it. Now, were up against it.
The county has about 700 computers, with about 400 needing replacement.
Well upgrade everything we can upgrade, Mr. Zimmerman said. It is a mixture of software and hardware.
The total cost could range from $400,000 to $450,000, he said.
It was a little too big a pill to swallow, Mr. Zimmerman said.
Instead, the county for this years budget included $250,000 in contingency, which could be used as partial payment for capital improvements, including the computers and various repairs, such as leaking roofs.
The $50,000 legislators approved in committee Monday will allow the IT department to start the computer transition. If the county decides to borrow for the full cost of its capital needs, the money will be returned to contingency.
Finance Committee Chairman Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, said he would oppose any bonding because the countys five-year plan includes $6.1 million over its life to handle capital expenses.
The plan was developed to convince state Senate lawmakers that the county would use an increase in its local sales tax to reduce property taxes in its first year and then keep them within the states tax cap in the out years.
The plan didnt include bonding, so no bonding, Mr. Morrill said. If youre going to follow that five-year plan, the time starts now.
At the same time the county is modernizing its desktop computers, it is providing legislators, the boards administrative staff, and Emergency Services Director Joseph M. Gilbert with iPads.
The 19 iPads were purchased through an emergency services grant so that legislators out in the community can communicate during a crisis so long as they can find a wireless signal.
As an ancillary benefit, the county can stop producing paper packets of information for legislators. The Board of Legislators spends more than $10,000 annually on paper for agendas and reports.
If you have a tool, why not use it? Mr. Zimmerman said. The faster way to communicate is electronically.

Construction continues at the intersection of 57th Street and Western Avenue on Tuesday. Under Mayor Mike Huether's five-year plan, Sioux Falls would add parks, construct and rebuild roads. / Jay Pickthorn / Argus Leader
2014-2018 Capital Improvement Plan
Where the $429.1 million would be spent:
Highways and Streets…$174.6 million
Utilities…$136.2 million
Parks, Entertainment,
Venues, Libraries…$68 million
Equipment and Other…$32.2 million
Public safety…$18.1 million
� The 2014-2018 Capital Plan can be viewed at www.siouxfalls.org.
Sioux Falls Mayor Mike Huether on Tuesday unveiled a $429 million roadmap of projects he wants funded during the next five years, a list that emphasized parks and infrastructure expansion closely in line with improvements residents said they wanted in a recent survey.
Huether addressed city councilors Tuesday and outlined the five-year plan that would allocate $175 million toward highways and streets, $136 million toward utilities and infrastructure, $68 million for parks, entertainment and libraries, and $18 million for public safety needs.
Under his plan, the city would add two fire stations, a number of new parks including two dog parks, and $4 out of every $10 in the budget would go to road repairs. Not in the plan is a new archival storage building for Siouxland Heritage Museums, a proposed joint project with Minnehaha County. Instead, Huether suggested the city and county lease space.
Last year, Huether proposed a $386 million five-year plan, which also focused heavily on road improvements and infrastructure.
Huether calls his 2014-2018 plan �one of the grandest plans in our city�s history.�
�We�ve accomplished so much over the last three years with the capital plans that you folks have approved in the past,� Huether told the City Council, who got their first look at the plan Tuesday. �We�re not going to spend this money just to spend it, we think that the taxpayer of this city should have the major say in what we do.�
A survey last year found that 98 percent of people felt investment in roads should be the city�s top priority. Traffic flow came in at 93 percent, and 91 percent said parks should be a high priority.
Huether said he took the results of the survey seriously and designed the CIP around what citizens voiced as top priority.
Some city councilors said they were pleased with the mayor�s plan, but said they look forward to delving deeper into the specifics of the plan.
�I thought the presentation was really great, and it proves that we are continuing to progress as we go ahead,� said Councilor Jim Entenman. �It�s the first step in the process.�
Councilors will review and discuss the plan this the summer through a series of meetings and will make a final decision on the CIP and the 2014 budget in September.
Roads, infrastructure
Huether wants to spend almost $175 million on highways and streets from 2014-2018, a jump from the proposed $154 million in last year�s five-year plan, and the largest amount since his first CIP as mayor three years ago.
His plan calls for more than $64 million in arterial street expansion at 41st Street, Sertoma Avenue, Maple Street, Cliff Avenue and 85th Street over the next five years. Eight million dollars in downtown street improvements also are planned.
�The foundation of this city must be rock solid before we could ever tackle any of the other opportunities that were out there,� Huether said. �Infrastructure will remain this mayor�s highest priority.�
According to Huether�s plan for street repair, $4 of every $10 in the budget would go toward road repair, construction and replacement, in response to what he calls �booming growth.�
�We need to keep ahead of that growth,� Huether said.
The attention to roads was appreciated by some councilors.
�That�s what the people want,� Entenman said.
Parks and Recreation
Huether�s proposed CIP calls for a number of park improvements and an ambitious plan for park development throughout the city, amounting to $50 million in projects over the next five years.
The five-year plan calls for two new dog parks, one near Family Park on the city�s west side, and another on the east side, in addition to several more parks throughout the city, including two on the city�s southwest side.
�This town loves green space, and our town is growing, we want to do our best to provide a public park for all folks to enjoy, regardless of where they live,� he said. �Every direction, north, south, east, west, they will see at least one new park with this plan.�
Alan Jansen who lives on the northeast side of town said Tuesday night he thinks adding two more dog parks is a good idea.
�Even though this one (Spencer Park) is centrally located, it will be more convenient for people,� he said.
Eian and Heather Schragg of Sioux Falls, who were with their dog Tuesday at Spencer Park, also said they like the idea of having more dog parks. They live near 54th Street and Sycamore Avenue with their dog, and an east-side dog park was especially appealing to them.
�I think it�d be a good thing to have over on East 10th Street. I think that�d be a really good location.� Eian Schragg said.
Huether also proposes budgeting just over $19 million for an indoor aquatics facility, and a new $2 million community center near Explorer Elementary.
�You�ll see that we�re planning on making some large investments over the next five years that will improve our citizens� health, our ability to stay active regardless of the weather, and ultimately our quality of life,� Huether said.
Councilor Greg Jamison said Tuesday he�s pleased the mayor focused on parks.
�We�ve been working, and I know there�s some parks there (in the southwest district) in the development stage,� Jamison said. �I�m glad to see the extra money on parks, and when you consider the recent survey we did, it was pretty clear they really enjoy our parks, and we need to keep them up, and it�s a lot of work to maintain them.�
Public Safety
More than $4 million of Huether�s plan includes the construction of two new fire stations, one at Maple Street and Marion Road in 2014, and another at 41st Street and Six Mile Road in 2018.
Fire stations have been constructed steadily during the past several years, in order to keep up with city growth.
�I�m happy about the fire station on Maple, that�s a big-time need out there for public safety,� Councilor Dean Karsky said.
Where the money comes from
The bulk of the money for the plan, $212 million, will come from the second-penny sales tax. Huether said city staff based their capital program on projected 5 percent sales tax growth every year for the next five years.
�Next year will be the highest sales tax revenue ever collected in our great city,� Huether said.
Entenman and Karsky said the 5 percent sales tax growth is a good, conservative figure to base planning on.
�When he said five percent, that made me comfortable, I was thinking that was a reasonable number,� Karsky said. �Big picture, it looks great, but need to see the details.�
City-county archive storage
One project Huether singled out in his presentation is archival storage for Siouxland Heritage Museums.
Huether, who has questioned a plan recently proposed by joint city-county committee, suggested there be 15,000 square feet of storage spaced leased for archival needs instead of constructing a $3.8 million building, and recently sent a memo to the County Commission proposing the city and county share the cost.
�We feel leasing immediately is the most prudent and effective solution,� Huether said. While he said he agrees there�s a need for extra storage space, he has questioned the need for the size of the building.
The proposal includes construction of a 29,000-square-foot building that would address museum storage needs, which continue to grow. The building would sit on donated land at north 54th Street and Westport Avenue in southwestern Sioux Falls.
Under the committee proposal, the city and Minnehaha County each would be responsible for one-third of the cost of the building, with the other third of the money coming from the sale of some of the donated land that wouldn�t be used for the facility. The building would be available to the public for historical research.
Since 2004, at least two studies by two different companies have assessed the integrity of the attic of the Old Courthouse Museum, where a large number of items are stored. Both determined that the weight of the objects has threatened the structural integrity of the building, which prompted a move of some items to the basement.
Not all agree with Huether�s idea.
�I respectfully request that the City Council work with the Minnehaha County Commission to get the new collections center building built in 2014 at the 54th and Westport location because it is the right thing to do,� Sandy Dean, a member of the Siouxland Heritage Museums board told the City Council on Tuesday night following Huether�s address. �It�s the financially sensible thing to do.�
Huether said while the city is growing, he thinks the city is ready.
�Yep, this is a boom town, but that doesn�t faze us in any way, shape or form,� Huether said. �We welcome it, we relish it, and this plan will ensure that we stay one step ahead.�
The mayor�s budget address will be held July 25.

MASSENA - It was called a frog jumping contest, but in many cases it was more like a frog sitting competition during Thursdays event at the Massena Arena.
The Massena Recreation Departments 33rd annual Boss Frog Jumping Contest featured 40 contestants and, of those, 13 brought along frogs that either refused to budge or cross the finish line in the one minute time limit.
There were big frogs, small frogs and even the obligatory toad. But size didnt matter when it came to hopping across the finish line. It depended on the motivation of the frog.
In the end, Jasmine Nezezon brought the winning frog, which raced to the finish line in 6.25 seconds in the finals. She was followed closely by Logan Chilton, whose frog finished in 6.66 seconds; Ashton Chilton, whose frog finished in 7.20 seconds; Bayley Rochefort, whose frog finished in 7.38 seconds; and Tyler Smutz, whose frog finished in 9.25 seconds.
Competitors were broken down into three age groups - 5 and under, 6 to 9, an 10 and over. The top five finishers in each group received a ribbon, and the top three in each division were also awarded a prize. The top three finishers in the Boss Frog Jump-Off receigved trophies.
All together, 17 youngsters signed up in the age 5 and under group. Of those, 11 couldnt get their frog motivated enough to hop to the finish line. The top finisher in that age group was Brianna Lashomb, whose frog hopped to the finish line in 11.08 seconds. She was followed by Montana Nezezon (17.50 seconds), Cohen Lashomb (22.16 seconds), Alex Tarbell (22.38 seconds) and Aaden Tarbell (46.12 seconds).
Alex and Aadens mother, Laura Tarbell, said they brought one frog for the twins to share Thursday morning. But it wasnt easy finding one to use in the competition, she said.
Theyre out in the pond every day. We did have a hard time finding them, Ms. Tarbell said.
Alex and Aaden had also participated in last years event.
Aaden got fifth last year, she said.
The age 6 to 9 group had 18 participants, with the top time of 7.06 seconds being clocked by Tyler Smutzs frog. He was followed by Bayley Rochefort (8.31 seconds), Lena Lashomb (8.40 seconds), Jasmine Nezezon (8.54 seconds) and Sydney Rochefort (8.67 seconds).
Tyler came prepared for the competition, bringing eight frogs with him in a container.
I caught them all in the field in Louisville, he said, estimating it took about an hour to round all of them up.
We call them leopards, he said.
Tyler said he had participated in the Massena frog jumping contest twice. He said its all up to the frogs as to how he finishes in the competition.
I just bring them here, he said.
The winner among the five contestants in the age 10 and over group was Anabella Perretta. Her frog crossed the finish line in 10.24 seconds, followed by Logan Chilton (10.8 seconds), Zach Labarge (10.82 seconds), Alayna Taraska (14.90 seconds) and Cole Bicknell (17.50 seconds).
The top 10 fastest times from all three groups combined moved on to the Boss Frog Jump-Off, where their frog started with a fresh slate. Two of those frogs declined to finish the race in the one minute limit.
In the end, it was Jasmine Nezezons frog that scurried the fastest to the finish line, winning her a trophy that will be on display at Laneuvilles Groceries and Bottle Redemption Center. Leonard Laneuville had purchased the special trophy for the contest and each years winners names are engraved on it. Jasmines name will join those of last years winner Lauren Laughman, the 2011 champ Alex Richards and the 2010 winner Wesley Rode.
Last years competition also included 40 children and their frogs, numbers that vary from year to year with an average of about 50 entrants. But, through all the years, the rules as explained by Summer Recreation Director Patrick Henrie have remained steady.
For instance, he said, frogs could only be prodded on by the youngsters and not an adult with them.
If your parent wants to bring the frog out for the child, theyre welcome to do that, he said, noting that once the frog is placed in the center of the ring, the parent must step back and let the child take over.
Its also hands off once the frog is put down.
Once you let it go, you can no longer touch the frog, Mr. Henrie said.
Most important, he said, no foot stomping to avoid frog fatalities when trying to prod the frog to the finish line.
You can blow on it, you can tap your hand, but no stomping, he said.

Ultra-Crispy Roast Potatoes

- Total time:1 hour 15 minutes
- Rated:
This recipe appears in:The Food Lab: How to Roast Fall and Winter Vegetables Staff Picks: The Ultimate Serious Eats Father's Day Menu Serious Entertaining: A Blowout Christmas Dinner The Food Lab: Ultra-Crispy Roast Potatoes
[Photographs: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt]
Note: For creamier potatoes with a slightly less crisp crust, substitute Yukon Gold potatoes for russets. Duck fat, turkey fat, or chicken fat will give the best results, but bacon fat or olive oil will work well.
About the author: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt is the Managing Editor of Serious Eats where he likes to explore the science of home cooking in his weekly column The Food Lab. You can follow him at @thefoodlab on Twitter, or at The Food Lab on Facebook.
- 4 1/2 pounds russet potatoes (see note), rinsed, peeled if desired, and cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Kosher salt
- 1/4 cup duck fat (see note)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 12 sprigs thyme
Adjust oven racks to lower and upper position and preheat oven to 500°F. Place potatoes in a large saucepot and cover with cold water by 1-inch. Add 2 tablespoons salt and vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook until exteriors are tender, about 5 minutes. Potatoes should show a slight resistance when poked with a paring knife or a cake tester. Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl.
Add fat to bowl with potatoes. Season with pepper and more salt to taste then toss with a large metal spoon until exteriors are slightly bashed up and coated in a thin layer of potato/fat paste. Divide potatoes evenly between two heavy rimmed baking sheets. Spread thyme sprigs over potatoes.
Transfer baking sheets to the oven and roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are crisp and golden brown, about 20 minutes total, swapping top the trays top for bottom and rotating them once half way through roasting. Using a thin metal spatula, flip the potatoes and roast until the second side is golden brown, another 15 to 20 minutes. Discard thyme sprigs, and serve.

Miguel Batista thinks the Mets are the best team in baseball
Miguel Batista said this after tonight's loss:
[jbox color="gray"]"Our team is going through a bad stretch right now. But, my personal belief is we're way better than our numbers are. … I know a lot of people didn't expect us to be as good as we have this year, but I believe this team is way, way better than what it's been playing. And regardless of the fact what other people might think, October is not here yet. … Right now (the Nationals) are playing good baseball, but I don't believe they're a better team than us. They're playing great baseball. But a better team? I believe we're the better team. We just have to play as we're supposed to. Every team goes through a bad stretch. I told Terry two months ago I haven't seen a team better than us. We just have to believe how good we are and just go out there and perform. I believe we are the best team in baseball. We just have to play like one. That's what we're not doing."[/jbox]
Following tonight's game, Terry Collins reiterated the team's decision to start Batista on Saturday at Citi Field against the Dodgers.

Camby Issue Aside, Knicks Allowing Teams to Dictate Tempo
Tommy DeeLet's forget the Marcus Camby situation for a moment, and why Mike Woodson failed to call on his number despite desperately needing the veteran big last night against his old team. Let's assume he wasn't 100% healthy. While that issue will play itself out the more Woodson allows it to, the far bigger issue I take away from the team's lackluster Texas trip is how Mike Woodson allowed for the opposing team to dictate pace.
Ray Felton said it the other night in Dallas. The Mavs sensed the Knicks were on the second game of a back to back and "attacked their legs" which is to say they "picked up the pace." They played faster and under control and benefitted from rhythm jump shots. Dallas had some ball movement, but the ball often stuck to Vince Carter's hands. Carter made the most of his best shooting night of the season finishing with some timely hoops and 25 points for the game.
We are 11 games into the season and the book is out on the Knicks. They see a team that did well to guard the perimeter, contest then close
possessions. In the last two games they saw a team really struggle with pace. My point is why is Woodson allowing for the other team to dictate pace?
MOTE suggests pace is the internet saber-metrician's buzz word for a thing long-referred to in the basketball world as tempo. Like in music, tempo is critical to establishing team rhythm fast or slow and, like Houston and Dallas have shown the last two games, if you get scorers in the right rhythm at this level shots can fall at an astonishing rate. As a coach it's a very helpless feeling. Clyde Frazier calls it players all having the "knack" for "getting into the act". As a Hall of Fame guard who could score and pass, Clyde knows the significance of controlling tempo. So, too, should Woodson.
The Knicks will adjust defensively and they hope teams won't continue to bang down open jumpers and get to the rim at will off a basic dribble drive offense (looking at you Tyson Chandler). They will force the ball back to the perimeter and improve on rotations. But where they really need to be better is getting their own shots later in the shot clock. What the Rockets did to them last night is pretty much exactly what the Bengals and most recently the Patriots did to the local football teams. When you get hit with a big first punch your game plan changes. The Knicks got caught up in a scoring fest, fell behind and took the Rockets bait of wanting to play quickly up and down. That allowed for James Harden to have a field day. Harden made 7 field goals and went to the FT line seemingly every time he went to the hoop. And he had 9 assists being the Rockets primary ball handler.
Bottom line is the Knicks better do a better job of controlling tempo tomorrow against the Pistons, who are sure to try and attack the Knicks' legs coming off a travel day.

CANTON The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators is changing its budget parameters so that spending is based more on available revenue and less on department requests as a way to get a better handle on the countys finances.
Budgets in the past have been determined by looking at the needs of county government and then finding the revenue to pay for them rather than basing services on what money was at hand.
This philosophically switches that around, said Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, chairman of the county Finance Committee. Were going to look at revenue first. Its a big switch.
The county has struggled in recent years with a declining fund balance siphoned away to offset property tax increases. Last year, the practice culminated with little money left in the bank and the county raised property taxes more than 14 percent.
The county has since adopted a five-year plan dependent on the state Legislatures granting it permission to raise its local sales tax that would lower property taxes to 2012 figures and keep them within the tax cap in the out years.
While local lawmakers are optimistic that the state will approve a home-rule law allowing the county to raise its sales tax from 3 to 4 percent, passage of the legislation is far from certain.
Republican representatives have not sponsored a Senate version of the Assembly bill introduced by Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, who offered the proposal to see if she could deliver the votes before the Senate signs on. However, the Assembly opposed a Senate plan to include a sales tax increase for the county as part of a state budget package that would allow increases up to 4 percent across the board.
Were waiting to hear from the assemblywoman how this will proceed, said Sarah V. Compo, spokeswoman for state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton.
Rayan A. Aguam, spokesman for Sen. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Rome, said Mr. Griffo, Mrs. Ritchie and Sen. Elizabeth OC. Little, R-Queensbury, are talking among themselves about what they want to do.
A decision hasnt been made on sponsoring a Senate version of Assemblywoman Russells St. Lawrence County sales tax bill, Mr. Aguam wrote in an email.
Not having a same as bill in the Senate makes passage in the Assembly more challenging, Mrs. Russell said.
Its highly irregular. Im not sure theres any precedence when theres no companion bill, she said. This is something that is not routine. Its an uphill battle, but its something St. Lawrence County deserves.
Mrs. Russells home-rule legislation is in the Assemblys Ways and Means Committee.
Im working with the committee to get it on the floor as quickly as possible, she said.
If the legislation is not passed by both the Assembly and Senate by the end of May, Mrs. Russell said, it is unlikely St. Lawrence County will see any additional revenue this year because of reporting requirements that result in a lag time for collection to start.
The countys new budget parameters will determine how the county spends whatever money it has, regardless of what happens to a sales tax increase, Mr. Morrill said.
He put together a budget guideline for 2014 that factors in a projected inflation rate of 1.87 percent, salary increases of 2.35 percent, health insurance hikes of 7.5 percent and pension increases of 12.5 percent, showing how those costs would affect each department.
That allows legislators to easily grasp how much of each departments expenses are attributable to costs they do not control, Mr. Morrill said.
It empowers the department heads and it challenges them. They should work hard to stay within these parameters, he said. This doesnt call for anyone to lose their job. This also doesnt require a drastic cut in any department. County residents and employees can rest assured were going to provide the services and their jobs are relatively safe.
Other legislators, including Joseph R. Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg, applauded Mr. Morrills effort, but said the county should try to stay within its state-mandated tax cap, which would be an increase of about 4 percent.
Were at the end of the road. This ought to be looked at as something not to be exceeded, Mr. Lightfoot said. If additional cuts can be made beyond what Legislator Morrill has come up with, I would encourage that.

Fire Chief Dale C. Herman just managed to extinguish City Council opposition to applying for a state Homeland Security grant for a large pickup truck to pull a trailer with rescue equipment.
By a 3-2 vote Tuesday night, the Watertown City Council gave the fire chief authorization to apply for the $69,905 grant to purchase the four-person pickup. The truck would be used to pull the Technical Rescue 1 trailer with 16,000 pounds of equipment used for space containment, trench, structural collapse and rope rescues occurring both in and out of the city.
Two weeks ago, council members Jeffrey M. Smith, Joseph M. Butler Jr. and Roxanne M. Burns questioned the need for the new truck, since it also would be used to haul the equipment for other fire departments in Jefferson County. They also opposed the grant because the trailer has been used only four times in recent years.
During the debate Tuesday, Chief Herman and Mr. Smith got into a heated exchange.
For the past six years, the fire department has been using a 2008 F-350 Ford pickup that Chief Herman said cannot safely move the trailer because it is designed to haul a maximum of only 12,000 pounds of equipment.
Mr. Smith wanted to know why it took so many years to go to the council to request the truck if the department was using an unsafe vehicle.
Because every vehicle we brought to Council was denied, Mr. Herman responded.
That is not a true statement, Mr. Smith said, adding that he has supported purchasing ladder, pump and rescue trucks, and requests for hoses and other kinds of equipment over the years.
But Chief Herman was referring to requests to purchase a vehicle that would be used for snowplowing that council members denied during the budget process in recent years.
Councilwoman Teresa R. Macaluso said she did not understand all the fuss about applying for free state grant money. Besides, she said, the city eventually would have to replace a vehicle anyway, so she would rather not get it with city taxpayer money.
But Ms. Burns disagreed.
Its disingenuous to say its free money. Its not free money, she said. We all pay for it.
In the end, Ms. Macaluso was joined by Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham and Mr. Butler in approving the grant application. Although the mayor and Mr. Butler supported this request, they also told the fire chief that the department no longer can expect to get equipment and vehicles it wants but only things it can afford.
The application is due tonight at midnight, so Chief Herman said afterward that he planned to submit it electronically.

DENVER — Friday, Dec. 16, 2011 — Gov. John Hickenlooper and Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia today released these statements about the latest Race to the Top – Early Learning Challenge grant announcement:
"The state's Race to the Top application was developed through a collaborative process that brought together the state's smartest child advocates," Hickenlooper said. "This extensive planning helped create a clear roadmap for pursuing the best educational outcomes for our state's kids. Colorado is a national leader when it comes to education reform and we remain committed to supporting our teachers and students in every way possible."
"Colorado has seen so much progress already in the quality of early learning programs that help ensure every child starts school ready to learn," Garcia said. "We will continue to build on the solid foundation already set for creating a stronger workforce, providing families with the tools and resources they need and to building community capacity to serve young children and their families."
Colorado applied for $59.8 million in Race to the Top funds to help accelerate plans to improve school readiness by strengthening the quality of all early learning programs, increasing access to high-quality programs and developing the capacity of those people, places and programs serving children with the highest needs.
In a separate Race to the Top application focused on the K-12 system, Colorado is one of nine finalists to apply for a $17.9 million grant by updating the state's last application submitted in June 2010. The U.S. Dept. of Education will announce these grant recipients by the end of this month.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - In the spirit of National Donut Day, we at NEWS CENTER decided to try something new. Instead of the chocolate glazed or jelly filled delights, we decided to try potato donuts, made fresh daily at Holy Donut in Portland.
Owner Lee Kellis opened the shop about a year ago and says she was trying different recipes for donuts at home for years until she perfected the recipe by using potatoes. It's not just the potatoes that make these different. Lee has come up with a variety of wild flavors like bacon and cheese and mojito. The favorite flavor, though, is dark chocolate sea salt. Among the other customer favorites are the Allen's Coffee Brandy, blueberry and even a chai donut.

Possibile Arnalt Figure-Possible Fake... Please help
Hello-I have a really BEAUTIFUL piece of bisque (I believe that's what you would call it as it does not have a shine). It's a vase with 2 children on it. One is on a swing and it looks like there might have been string strung through it as there are a few small holes in it.
The markings, once I look them up, appear to be some of the most faked marks known in the pottery business so now I am not getting my hopes up. Anyhow.. The mark on the bottom is of 2 crossed arrows, each with 3 'feathers' on it. They are blue. Underneath that, from what I can tell, are the numbers 745 (pretty clear) and then an "8" or a "B," (not so clear)
There is a LOT of detail on this and it's very delicate. If it's a fake (pretty sure it is..) then it's a good one!
Oh well. One can hope.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I would love to pay for an appraisal but my husband just lost his job and I have been making some extra money selling on EBay. Not making enough just yet to do that as every little PENNY makes a BIG difference now.
Thank you in advance

Nice piece.
Just a comment on terminology.
Bisque refers to formed pieces that have been fired to about 900C and will be fired again to their final temperature. Your piece, since it has color, is probably a piece of porcelain fired to 1,300C or so. If you flick it with your finger and there is a hard, ping type sound it has probably been fired to the higher temperature. If it feels soft it may have only been fired to the bisque temperature, had the color applied, and was going to be fired the the final temp.

The mark is either Arnart or Lefton at one time there was probably a foil label on the bottom.

These marks look very similar to Homco marks. See google on homco marking. Lynda

Based on the marking my money would be on Arnart, it's basically a fake Kalk company porcelain marking. They made huge numbers of these 19th Century style porcelain figures, the figures themselves resembling Hummels ;~)

Rangers vs. Canadiens
Madison Square Garden, 7:00 p.m. Friday
Rangers' record: 37-30-4
Canadiens' record: 39-25-7
Although the Rangers established somewhat of a grip on seventh place winning four of their last five games, now is not the time to be complacent. The Rangers take on the Canadiens in an Original Six matchup on Friday night. The Montreal Canadiens have beaten the Rangers all three times they met this season. On Feb. 5 they were shutout 2-0 thanks to Carey Price.
The Blueshirts need to pounce on the weary Canadiens who will be playing their third game in four nights.
The Habs won't be an easy crew to beat despite the injuries they've sustained. They are 7-3-0 in their past ten games including last night's hard fought shootout win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Habs' leading scorer Tomas Plekanec and Jeff Halpern are day-to-day with lower body injuries while Hal Gill missed yesterday's game with the flu. Regulars Mathieu Darche, Max Pacioretty, Brent Sopel, Jaroslav Spacek, Andrei Markov and Josh Gorges are also out of the lineup.
The Rangers offense exploded for three power play goals in their 6-3 victory over the Islanders on Tuesday. Marian Gaborik scored two goals and Ryan Callahan netted a team leading 21st goal.
Players to watch:
Erik Christensen – If Christensen is having an up and down season, he is currently in the midst of what could be an upswing. He has three goals and two assists in his last five games. After being scratched for two games, he responded by scoring a goal his first game back against the San Jose Sharks last weekend. He's been skating on a line with Vinny Prospal and Marian Gaborik, who scored two goals on Tuesday night.
Henrik Lundqvist – Lundqvist is expected to make his 16th consecutive start and is one win shy of 30 victories. He's been stellar for the Rangers when they needed him most and kept them in tight games where the offense hasn't come so easily or on cue. As the season continues to wind down, fatigue could become a factor.
Four score and 20 goals ago:
Brandon Dubinsky, Marian Gaborik, Ryan Callahan and Brian Boyle each have 20 or more goals this season. Derek Stepan is not too far behind with 18 goals.
Bench Shuffle:
Matt Gilroy was a healthy scratch last game for the first time since Jan. 2 in favor of Steve Eminger and likely will be again due to defensive lapses and untimely bad penalties.
Wojtek Wolksi or Sean Avery (three penalties with just seven minutes of ice time isn't the best way to make a "comeback" impression) could be scratched again as well for failing to make a consistent impact. Mats Zuccarello could be soon to follow.

The taste of the salt is delicious. You can taste the difference of regular salt. I recommend to taste.....................
Sea salt is much better to our body,the taste of this salt is delicious. I would highly recommend it.

I grew up in a family that used a sugar substitute in iced tea. I prefer mine made that way. While this is not the sweetener that we used in the 1950s it is every bit as good! Now I can have my tea, as I remember it, whenever I wish.

only two drops enough for my cup of tea. And really this is the best price.

On the afternoon of Wednesday, Nov. 8, the tiny planet Mercury will pass in front of the sun creating what astronomers call a "transit of Mercury." According to NASA Solar System Ambassador Patrick Wiggins, "On average there are only about 13 Mercury transits per century. The last one visible from Utah occurred in 1999 and we won't see another until 2016."
Those with a properly filtered telescope should be able to see Mercury's tiny, dark disk first touch the lower left portion of the sun at about 12:12 p.m. MST. The planet will then glide slowly across the solar disk for about 5 hours.
Sunset will cause Utahns to miss the last few minutes of the transit but observers farther west will see Mercury leave the Sun's face at about 5:09 p.m.
"As rare and interesting as this event will be, observers need to be very careful not to damage their eyes while watching it," Wiggins cautions.
To help people safely observe the transit the Salt Lake Astronomical Society will host a free Mercury transit watch. The watch will be in the parking lot of the Harmon's grocery store located at 7800 S. 700 East in Midvale between noon and 5 p.m.
The transit watch will feature several telescopes equipped with special filters designed for safe solar viewing, including some which will allow viewers to see massive eruptions arcing away from the sun as tiny Mercury slowly treks across it.
Admission to the transit watch is free, however it will be hosted only if the weather permits.
Near real time images of the event will also be available via links on Wiggins' web page, http://utahastro.info/.
Venus is the only other planet to pass in front of the sun, but its transits are much rarer, averaging less that two per century. The next one will occur in 2012. After that earthbound observers will not see another transit of Venus until 2117.

Read: No Mediation Yet For The NHL and NHLPA
At ESPN.com, Pierre LeBrun writes that the NHL is not ready to bring a mediator in to help get things moving in regards to a getting a new CBA done.
Bill Daly told LeBrun, "So far, I think we all have been in agreement that we didn't think that the introduction of a mediator into the process was timely or that it would necessarily further the process. That may change at some point, but it hasn't yet."
George Cohen, who declined LeBrun's interview request, was the mediator who worked with the NBA and NBAPA last year.
Cohen previously worked as a consultant for the NHLPA, NBAPA and MLBPA but the NY Times says that he takes a down the middle approach.
The NHL's lead lawyer Bob Batterman dealt with Cohen during the NFL lockout when Batterman represented the NFL. Batterman said, "He has total credibility on both sides. He knows how to move the process, and he understands the politics on each side of the table."
Cohen told the NY Post last year, "All labor disputes come to an end. And some day, there will be an agreement or otherwise there wouldn't be an enterprise anymore. We are ready willing and able to assist parties in the future and hopefully they will do it and we can have a peaceful resolution of their dispute."
The NHL and NHLPA went to mediation in 2004 and while it was in those sessions that the NHLPA finally decided to accept a salary cap, after three failed sessions, Gary Bettman canceled the season.
Bob Batterman also represented the NHL in 2004-05.

What's Wrong with Sugar Ray. Sugar Ray Robinson quit the ring for the footlights after failing to wrest the lightheavy-weight crown from the brow of Joey Maxim in 1952. the champion of both the welter and middleweight divisions hoped to do as well on the stage as he had in the ring. Outfitted in sartorial splendor, Sugar sang, danced and cracked jokes and set the night circuit ablaze for a short while. And then he began to lose popularity. For more about Sugar's theatrical whirl, see "What's Wrong With Sugar Ray" in the April 1954 EBONY.

LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Gerding Theater (128 NW 11th Ave., , )
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Opera music booms and steam spills out from beneath the giant onstage refrigerator as I Love to Eat begins. As the song builds and steam obscures the floor, James Beard (Rob Nagle) strides out of the fridge. Dressed in striped silk pajamas, he chuckles as an unremitting cascade of rose petals falls from above. "Moderation!" he roars. "I'm against it!" Yet for such a grandiose proclamation, I Love to Eat, directed by Jessica Kubzansky, feels less like a rich meal than a scattered sampler of tasty but underwhelming tidbits. James Still's chatty script jumps between informal confessional and re-enactments of Beard's 1940s cooking show, with the celebrated chef recounting culinary and childhood reminiscences, preparing mayonnaise and chopping parsley for canapes and, in some brief spots, revealing and then brushing off stories of loneliness and unrequited love. Though peppered with a few lovely moments—the Portland-born Beard recalls digging for razor clams in Gearhart, for example—this Portland Center Stage production neither digs enough into Beard's underlying melancholy nor sufficiently plays up his convivial wit. Given the bony and episodic script, Nagle's performance mostly impresses, and he endears himself to the audience with knowing glances and dramatic flourishes of the arm. But many of the lines are so slick or painstakingly choreographed they fail to elicit more than a polite giggle, and nothing can save Nagle in the incongruous, kiddie scenes with a bovine hand puppet. At one point, Beard fields a call from a frazzled home cook in Kansas. He encourages her to pour the disaster down the sink. "That's the way it is in the kitchen," he says. "Sometimes it all goes boom." But that's the problem with Still's unfocused script—though it carries on at a gentle simmer, it never makes much of a bang.

Four-Links – Checker pickup, Carl Sagan's Porsche, Iacocca Q&A, Cadillac's "mood" cars
* While recently catching up on some back issues of the Checker Car Club's newsletter, we ran across mention of a Checker pickup what-if model commissioned by Dieter Losskar and executed by Dirk Patschkowski. Lotta details to take in here.
* An older post, but one worth including here: Astronomer Carl Sagan's son, Nick, remembers his father. Includes a mention of Sagan's Porsche 914.
* Car and Driver recently chatted with Lee Iacocca, and we learned that he owns a few special-interest vehicles, including a K-car and a 1954 Ford truck.
* The 1956 Eldorado Biarritz Survivor Roster this week took a look at the 1956 Cadillac "mood cars" – the Castilian, Gala, Palomino, and Maharani show cars – all with unique interiors. Only one of the four is known to survive today.
* Finally, a number of proposals were pitched over the years for a replacement for the popular Mini. AROnline takes a look at a few of them, including a couple mystery studies done by Pininfarina.

PAWTUCKET – U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse answered questions ranging from federal spending and the national debt, to the need for infrastructure improvements to Obamacare and global climate change from more than 100 area residents who attended a community dinner at the Portuguese Social Club Thursday.
The second-term Democrat said "it is a challenging time to be in Washington" because the nation is only slowly coming out of the recession and the recovery is particularly slow in Rhode Island.
Although there is much "conflict and dissent" in Congress, Whitehouse said, "What I see is not necessarily conflict between Republicans and Democrats." Instead, he said, "there is immense conflict among Republicans. They are almost at each other's throats. We (Democrats) are the by-standers, but we feel the effects. It's difficult to get legislation passed."
He suggested that one area where the two parties may be willing to work together is on spending more money on road projects.
"There are so many roads, so many bridges, so much water work – sewage and clean water" he said that the bill to do all the work could approach $600 billion. Allocations in President Barack Obama's stimulus plan several years ago amounted to $6 billion, just 1 percent of the problem, he said.
"We need to build it sooner or later," Whitehouse said of the country's infrastructure, "and doing it now would help unemployed construction workers and other people who are currently out of a job."
The senator said we are "closing in" on the Oct. 1 date to start opening up health care exchanges, "and where they come up, the costs will go down."
He said that would help even up the cost for all buyers, instead of the current situation where according to Whitehouse, "big businesses get good rates for their employees, small businesses, not so much and if you are an individual trying to buy insurance, you will pay through the nose."
Ken Noyes, a retired Pawtucket fire captain, encouraged Whitehouse to "stand strong," and "do not give in to the debt ceiling terrorists" who are threatening to shut the government down.
"I promise you I will," he answered, "and I also promise that a lot of other people will stand up with me. This is not one of those issues where it is all the Republicans together who want to do this. There is a group of extremists making this threat, and a lot of Republicans disagree with them."
Ron Hubblebank of West Greenwich said he would like to see the federal government stop spending money because the budget is in deficit and the national debt is increasing.
Whitehouse did not agree.
"We're still in a recession," he said. "We are still recovering. If you look over in Europe, they tried to cut their way out of the recession and followed the so-called austerity principles. What happened is their economies actually got worse."
In European countries like Greece, Italy and Portugal, he claimed, they have unemployment at rates of 17 percent or 27 percent.
"When the economy goes bad, families spend less, businesses spend less, municipalities spend less, states spend less, and that contracts the economy even further. The federal government's job in that time, I think, is to try to counterbalance that by spending to offset it. That's a short-term thing and as soon as the economy takes hold, you have to be ready to dial that back. But you do have to get through the down period by continuing to spend. If we had followed the Republican prescription of all those cuts that they wanted, back in the middle of the recession, we would look a lot more like Portugal now. We'd be in real dire straits."
In response to a question about health care, Whitehouse said, "we have to make it way more effective. Rhode Island, he said, "is doing some real cool things" establishing its health care exchanges. Going even further, the senator said universal health care "would be a good idea."
When the senator said that the IRS would be in charge of collecting fines from people who don't purchase health care when Obamacare kicks in, Steve Grenier of Cumberland said, "that doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy."
Grenier also asked whether illegal aliens would be allowed to take advantage of Obamacare, Whitehouse said he did not think that would happen right away, but once immigration reform is passed, "that could happen."

Asian food in America dates back to the mid-1800's, and it quickly flourished across the states as more and more people were interested in teasing their taste buds with exotic flavors. Of course those same exotic flavors were changed overtime, and many of the recipes found today were actually cooked for the first time in America.
Chinese, Japanese, Polynesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Cantonese… oh, that delicious list goes on and on. But before you start heating up the wok and prepping the rice, your Asian restaurant needs to do some prep work. Here's some of our Asian inspired supplies and equipment to help stock your restaurant - chop sticks and skimmers included!

The Ogdensburg Volunteer Rescue Squad and the city agreed Monday to a new, five-year service contract in spite of doubts about responsibility for snow removal and water and sewer service.
The city council 5-1-1 in favor of the contract. R. Storm Cilley abstained because he is the squads treasurer.
Wayne L. Ashley cast the sole opposing vote. He is worried about the standard snow removal clause which has the city public works department plowing the squad driveway for emergency vehicle access. With the squads future headquarters at the larger, 59,925-square-foot former Hackett Hardware store at 1223 Pickering St., he is concerned there will be more to plow at the citys expense.
Dont get me wrong, theyre doing a good job, Mr. Ashley said. But until I see it in black and white, everything is subject to change.
Kenneth J. Gardner, the squads director of operations, assured the council that only the squads use of 24,000 square feet of the building will requires snow removal - the emergency vehicle access and some public access. Similarly, continued free city water and sewer service will apply to the squad-used section of the building.
Non-squad use like renters will be metered and taxed.
We just want to serve the community, Mr. Gardner said. That is all we want to do.
In other contract terms, the city will:
—Sell the squad gasoline and diesel fuel at cost as before. The 2012 bill was $16,500, Mr. Gardner said.
—Provide docking space with water and electricity in the city marina for the squad rescue boat.
—Provide through the fire department free breathing air for squad scuba tanks and air bottles.
—Sponsor the volunteers for coverage under the St. Lawrence County Workers Compensation Program. The annual average over 21 years has been $4,996, Mr. Cilley said.
Voting in favor of the contract were Mayor William D. Nelson, Deputy Michael D. Morley, Jennifer Stevenson, William D. Hosmer and Daniel E. Skamperle.

Buoyed by military families at Fort Drum, 2012 residential home sales in Jefferson and Lewis counties continued a strong climb since 2008.
As the number of homes sold went up, so did the prices, especially in Lewis County, where the median price last year was 37 percent higher than five years ago.
In Jefferson County:
n The number of units sold rose from 666 in 2008 to 955 in 2012.
n The median price increased 11.4 percent during the same period, from $134,600 to $150,000.
In Lewis County, the figures were more striking:
n The number of units sold nearly doubled, from 90 to 177 over the five-year period.
n The median price shot up 37 percent, from $80,120 to $110,000.
In contrast, St. Lawrence County saw little change:
n Home sales totaled 591 in 2008 and 590 in 2012.
n The median price inched up 2.6 percent, from $78,000 to $80,000.
Sales were made by 325 members of the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Realtors and 195 members of the St. Lawrence County Board of Realtors.
Part of this trend is the awareness on the part of military families and others that right now is the time to buy, said Lance M. Evans, executive officer for the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Realtors and the St. Lawrence County Board of Realtors. We now have lower interest rates, and people are feeling good about the economy. Making mortgage payments on houses is often less than paying for rent.
A main contributor to the rising tide in annual home sales, Mr. Evans said, are fewer and shorter deployments overseas among military members at Fort Drum. Military families are more apt to purchase houses if they are staying in the area longer during the year. Deployments that used to be more than a year long are now seven to nine months, which makes buying homes more attractive.
There are now 10,690 soldiers with families stationed at Fort Drum, 7,056 of whom are living off the post, according to a December housing study conducted at the post.
Before, if I was gone for 15 months, my spouse was probably going to move out of the area, Mr. Evans said. But if Im gone for nine months in January, it doesnt make sense to take my kids out of school for five months and then put them back into the same school in October. Im going to stick around.
Another reason for military families to purchase homes here, Mr. Evans said, is finding apartments in the greater Watertown area is still a challenge. The vacancy rate for rental housing in the Fort Drum region hovers at 2 percent, he said, while a healthy rate for a housing market is considered to be 4 to 5 percent.
The vacancy rate is still significantly lower than what a healthy market should be, he said. Its much harder for military families to find rental housing than it is a home for sale.
Mr. Evans said the steady population growth in Jefferson County has created a stable demand for housing that isnt present in other regions of the state. When the national housing bubble burst in 2006, for example, the number of foreclosures in New York state was relatively low compared with most of the country. Nationwide, he said, New York consistently has been ranked 45th in number of foreclosures. The low foreclosure rate has helped keep housing prices stable here, he said, while theyve decreased in other parts of the country that were hit with higher foreclosure rates.
New houses continued to be built in 2012 to meet demand at Fort Drum, Mr. Evans said, and many homeowners are renovating houses to increase their value. Those trends also have kept median home prices up.
Statewide, residential housing prices saw a boost compared with 2011, said Sal Prividera Jr., director of communications for the New York State Association of Realtors. The association has not released 2012 numbers yet, he said, but statistics through 11 months of the year indicated an increase in sales and median home prices.
We saw low interest rates on mortgages all year, and the economy made small strides toward recovery, he said. People were more comfortable getting back into the housing market, and low interest rates gave consumers more buying power to make their homes more affordable.
He called the steady increase in sales in Jefferson and Lewis counties an example of how the military communities can have a major impact on housing markets. Its unique because you have military families constantly moving in and out, and some are in the position to purchase off-base housing.
Mr. Prividera said he expects the states housing industry to continue growing in 2013.
Housing inventory is down statewide, so were seeing median price growth, he said. We expect to see continued low mortgage rates.
Through November, the number of closed sales in the state climbed 4 percent, from 7,036 to 7,320, compared with the same 11-month period in 2011. Over that time, the median home price jumped 4 percent, from $206,800 in 2011 to $215,000 in 2012.
