Over the past few seasons, the button-up has certainly been a major staple in all the most fashionable closets. Whether it has turned up as an oversized boyfriend shirt or a sleek, ladylike piece, we've seen a slew of styles come into vogue. But these days, the top option is neither overly masculine or super girly, but manages to walk the fine line in between. The piece in question, the denim shirt, is not a revolutionary item, but the way it's being worn is certainly inspirational. Though its associations traditionally fall on the more utilitarian sideÂ--think: rugged Hollywood icons (like Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood) or even spring's recent denim-on-denim trendÂ--today's approach to the jean top is decidedly different. Whether it's styled as a part of an uptown-chic look or roughed up for hipster appeal, the denim shirt works in a variety of ways, hence today's Trend Report! Read on for all the information you need to incorporate this key piece in your wardrobe or give your old favorite shirt a new-for-fall feeling.
Of all the F/W 10 runways you can look to for inspiration, we suggest starting with one of the most elegant examples: Chloe. The storied fashion house's designer Hannah MacGibbonÂ--who also launched the denim-on-denim craze with her spring collectionÂ--removed jeans from the equation, pairing a classic Denim Shirt ($535) with luxurious camel pieces, like high-waisted trousers and the oversized Double Face Angora Coat ($2684), for a very seventies sort of chic. Of course, if this sort of polished look isn't your bag, you can always check out our favorite edgier example: the Diesel Black Gold F/W 10 show. The debut collection from the brand's new creative director, Sophia Kokosalaki, featured a faded denim shirt teamed with black leather pants for a very downtown MOD-approved ensemble.
Now that you're familiar with how designers are working the denim shirt into their fall collections, it's time we turn to our fabulous foursomeÂ--Lily Donaldson, Sienna Miller, Anne Vyalitsyna, and Rachel BilsonÂ--for some killer runway-to-real-way inspiration. Following our uptown/downtown runway discussion, first let's look at the more refined styling choices of Sienna Miller and Rachel Bilson. Both ladies know that the denim shirt adds a little effortlessness to an otherwise turned-out look and used this key piece accordingly. Miller was spotted in Los Angeles last month trying the trend; she paired Twenty8Twelve's Matt Shirt ($180) over an Ann Demeulemeester cardigan, and then finished her ensemble with a few more Twenty8Twelves piecesÂ--the Sienna jeans and Rhys beltÂ--and a pair of Nicholas Kirkwood's Suede and Patent Oxfords ($604). Her chambray shirt offers the perfect alternative to a heavier jean jacket and adds some casual coolness to her look. Another example of chic styling comes to us via Rachel Bilson, who was snapped running errands in Beverly Hills back in May wearing her blue button-up. Bilson tactfully teamed her light-wash denim shirt with two dressier piecesÂ--a black skirt and gray wedgesÂ--for a marvelously modern ensemble.
Of course prim-and-proper is not the only way to address the denim shirt; it looks just as stylish worn in a more rock'n'roll way. For example, Lily Donaldson channeled the MOD spirit seen at Diesel Black Gold when she attended the Isabel Marant store opening dinner in New York City back in April. The British beauty wore her denim shirt unbuttoned to reveal a semi-sheer tank and a pair of black jeans. Additionally, you could always opt for the aforementioned denim-on-denim look; though it was huge this spring you can still rock it for fall. We are partial to Russian model Anne Vyalitsyna's interpretation of said trend, which she demonstrated at the Staples Center in Los Angeles that same month. She quite literally borrowed from the boys when she wore her boyfriend's denim shirt with a pair of flared vintage Levi's. Instead of tucking it in or leaving it out, Vyalitsyna tied the bottom of her shirt to achieve a cropped style (another hot trend this summer), and finished off her outfit with an Alexander Wang's Brenda Zip Chain Bag ($725) and black boots.
By now you probably have a few denim shirts hanging in your closet, but just in case you are looking to add to your collection, we've got you covered with some cool picks. Gap's Chambray Pocket Shirt ($60) and Topshop's Bleached Denim Shirt ($60) are two great options that share the same desirable price tag. If you have a slightly larger budget to play with, we are fans of J. Crew's Selvege Chambray Shirt ($98), Levi's Chambray Shirt ($118), and Equipment's Western Top ($178) in Super Worn Blue Denim.
Now that you have plenty of shirts to choose from, it's time to address how you can work them into your own fashion playlist. Looking to style your button-up in an elegant way à la Chloe? Try a polished pant like J. Crew's 1035 Herringbone Trousers ($135) and layer on a luxe camel coat like DKNY's Sidney Reefer Coat ($395). You can also team your denim shirt with Gap's Classic Mini Skirt ($45) if you're looking to emulate Bilson's chic styling. Of course it's also easy to achieve Donaldson, Miller, and Vyalitsyna's more casual attire. Simply wear your shirt over a tank or sweater like Juicy Couture's ¾ Sleeve Cardigan ($178) for an additional layer, or tie it up for a cropped look. However you decide to wear it, the denim shirt is a sure way to keep you looking current all season long.Â--Jessica Baker

The global health community is closely monitoring the occurrence of the H5N1 Avian Influenza virus that is prevalent throughout Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe. It primarily affects birds but there is significant concern that the virus could change and spread from person to person, producing a worldwide influenza epidemic.
Pandemics happen when a new influenza virus emerges to which people have little or no immunity. Although no one knows for certain when the next pandemic will occur, or what new influenza virus will cause a pandemic, the impact on our community could be enormous.
An influenza pandemic could circle the globe over the course of 2-3 months and cause millions of people to become ill. Impacts of an influenza pandemic could seriously strain healthcare systems and affect the ability of government and the private sector to provide essential services and needs.
In a severe pandemic, businesses will experience a dramatic reduction in their workforce as 1:4 employees become ill. Other workers will remain home to care for sick family members or will be absent due to child cares issue if schools are directed to close.
The Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services is currently an active participant on the Missouri Pandemic Influenza Planning Committee. Locally, we have established an advisory committee with representatives from government, health care, businesses, education and social services. This local committee is working on assuring an effective local response in protecting your community and family from the Pandemic Influenza. The Columbia/Boone County Pandemic Influenza Plan , which was completed on August 15, 2007, is available for you to read.
You are making the first steps towards protecting your family, by developing an understanding on Pandemic Influenza. Additionally, we recommend for you to have an established Family Plan and an Emergency Kit.

Microsoft has decided to cut the price of its flagship Surface tablet, leading to speculation that the company is worried about low sales or is possibly clearing stock in anticipation of a new line of tablets. The devices will now cost $350 for the 32GB model or $450 for the 64GB version. With a Touch Cover these prices increase by $100 to $450 for the 32GB model and $550 for the 64GB model.
This represents a significant undercut on other premium tablets on the market. In fact, the Microsoft Surface retails at $250 less than the 32GB iPad and $80 less than the iPad Mini. They don't just tackle Apple with this price cut though. The Microsoft Surface also undercuts the Nexus 10 by $150 at retail. With the cuts, Microsoft will be competing directly with smaller and lower cost alternatives like the Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire.
While sales numbers regarding the Microsoft Surface remain scarce, it is believed that the tablet isn't performing as strong as Microsoft had hoped or expected. The cut in prices could in response to that or it could also be something else altogether. Some are speculating that Microsoft is preparing to refresh their line of tablets. Just last week at their Worldwide Partner Conference Microsoft teased the idea of launching new versions of their Surface and Surface Pro tablets. It is believed that the surface would be in line to receive an upgraded Haswell Chip. The Surface Pro would possibly be outfitted with a Snapdragon 800 processor.
Whatever Microsoft decides to do, the damage appears to have been done when it comes to their Surface experiment. The price cut comes across to me as white flag. The interesting part will be to see what Microsoft does next. It isn't enough to make a comparable tablet to the iPad, they need to blow it out of the water. If Microsoft is able to release a tablet that does that, maybe then we'll see someone finally take a chunk out of Apple as of yet impenetrable armour.

Staff Pick
The Likeness is another masterpiece of suspense by Tana French. Reminiscent of The Secret History, this psychological thriller is wonderfully written and impeccably paced a perfect summer read.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The eagerly anticipated follow-up to the New York Times bestselling psychological thriller In the Woods.
Six months after the events of In the Woods, Detective Cassie Maddox is still trying to recover. She's transferred out of the murder squad and started a relationship with Detective Sam O'Neill, but she's too badly shaken to make a commitment to him or to her career. Then Sam calls her to the scene of his new case: a young woman found stabbed to death in a small town outside Dublin. The dead girl's ID says her name is Lexie Madison, the identity Cassie used years ago as an undercover detective, and she looks exactly like Cassie.
With no leads, no suspects, and no clue to Lexie's real identity, Cassie's old undercover boss, Frank Mackey, spots the opportunity of a lifetime. They can say that the stab wound wasn't fatal and send Cassie undercover in her place to find out information that the police never would and to tempt the killer out of hiding. At first Cassie thinks the idea is crazy, but she is seduced by the prospect of working on a murder investigation again and by the idea of assuming the victim's identity as a graduate student with a cozy group of friends.
As she is drawn into Lexie's world, Cassie realizes that the girl's secrets run deeper than anyone imagined. Her friends are becoming suspicious, Sam has discovered a generations-old feud involving the old house the students live in, and Frank is starting to suspect that Cassie's growing emotional involvement could put the whole investigation at risk. Another gripping psychological thriller featuring the headstrong protagonist weave come to love, from an author who has proven that she can deliver.
"Edgar-winner French blurs the boundaries between victim and cop, memory and fantasy, in this stunning sequel to her debut, In the Woods. Det. Cassie Maddox, a dead ringer for Lexie Madison, whose body has been found on the outskirts of the Irish village of Glenskehy, agrees to masquerade as Lexie in a police effort to identify her murderer. Cassie journeys to Whitethorn House, the rambling mansion Lexie shared with four fellow Ph.D. students and tells the friends that she survived the attack. As she probes deeper into the close-knit group, Cassie finds herself becoming emotionally attached to the stoic Daniel, sensitive Justin, gadabout Rafe and dependable Abby. But as tensions rise in the house and in Glenskehy, Cassie must decide if the biggest threat comes from without or lurks within. French cleverly subverts the conventions of the locked room mystery, ratcheting up the tension at every turn with her multidimensional characters. Readers looking for a new name in psychological suspense need look no further than this powerful new Irish voice. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Police procedures, psychological thrills and gothic romance beautifully woven into one stunning story." Kirkus Reviews
"French creates remarkably complex characters while gradually unpeeling the layers of her story in this rich and insightful psychological thriller. A stunner." Library Journal
"Suspense writing is clearly French's forte. Rather than employing cliff-hanger tactics, such as ending chapters with striking discoveries, French relies on more delicate revelations to engage readers all along." Rocky Mountain News
"Ms. French resists genre conventions defiantly enough to have written a long, rambling book, one that is more interested in character revelations than in 'Aha!' moments about the plot....Cassie herself remains a strong enough character to sustain interest." Janet Maslin, The New York Times
French presents the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the New York Times-bestselling psychological thriller In the Woods.

Two purported traveling salespersons had their journey interrupted when they were arrested in Price for stealing a credit card from a prospective customer last week.
According to Price Police Capt. Bill Barnes, the two suspects are from Cincinnati. Police think they took advantage of the good nature and trust they found here.
As Barnes outlined the story, the duo were going door-to-door, ostensibly selling magazines to benefit needy children.
At one home, one of them asked to use restroom. The homeowner agreed. Then, because they said they were thirsty, the homeowner cracked open a few beers and shared them with the visitors.
The host then left the room for a minute or two, came back in and said goodbye as the sales people left.
He later discovered his credit card was missing.
As it turned out, his missing card left a trail of charges between here and Provo amounting to several hundred dollars.
The victim reported it to police, and the credit card company shut down the card and agreed to cover losses.
Several days later, while driving through Price, the victim spotted the two sales people in Price again. He called the cops, who responded quickly and made the arrest.
Booked into Carbon County Jail were Dontae S. Smith, 32, and Shavon Caprice Neshay Graves, 22.
"The people of Price and Carbon County have big hearts and we're compassionate," Capt. Barnes said, but letting strangers into one's home and then leaving them alone is probably not a good idea.
Smith and Graves did have a business license to operate in Price as out-of-town merchants, Barnes said.
The captain said there are plenty of reputable businesses and charities visiting homes door-to-door, but there's always a need to use some caution in dealing with strangers.

By DAVE SHEA
Potsdam coach Brooks Bigwarfe had to find a new person to do his scorebook.
Ogdensburg Free Academy coach Mark Henry will be minus one of his assistant coaches in the upcoming high school boys Northern Athletic Conference Central Division basketball season that begins tonight.
And both coaches couldnt be happier for the vacancies in their support staff.T
Thats because OFA senior Cavan LaRose and Potsdam junior Will Coleman will be back on the court after missing last season with injuries.
Coleman suffered a broken ankle in a football playoff game in October 2011 and was unable to return to scholastic action until this falls gridiron campaign, where he quarterbacked the Sandstoners to an undefeated NAC regular-season championship.
LaRose underwent total reconstructive knee surgery after an injury suffered in an open gym session last October. He did make it back for the final two weeks of the baseball season and helped the Blue Devils win a Section 10 Class B title.
Both will be counted for leadership in different scenarios.
Both will be reunited on the court with teammates who have played together since elementary school.
LaRose joins an OFA team that returns its starting five from a 14-5 team, which includes his twin brother, Breton, and his younger brother, Kinnon, Matt Piercey, Pat Cosmo and Colin Ross.
Cavan LaRose works extremely hard all of the time and he is one of those players who can quietly lead by example, Henry said of his two-year tri-captain.
Coleman, the youngest of five brothers who have excelled in athletics at Potsdam and Indian River, will be called upon to become a main cog for Potsdam, which graduated three starters from last years 16-2 NAC Central Division and Section 10 Class B championship team. Coleman, who played briefly as a freshman, will anchor the new Potsdam nucleus with returning regulars in guard Konner Bigwarfe, 6-foot-7 center Shawn Clark and forward Owen Mitchell.
Of three Coleman brothers that I have worked with, Will is the smallest, but he is definitely the most vocal. We are looking for him to shoot and distribute the ball and run the offense. Its just great to have him back, said Potsdam coach Brooks Bigwarfe, who succeeds Steve Kmack after serving as assistant coach for six years.
Coleman had never been hurt at all before the 2011 football playoff game with Massena. But he knew right away that his right ankle was severely injured when he went down.
He underwent surgery at the Canton-Potsdam Hospital and learned that, in all likelihood, he would sidelined from athletics for the rest of the school year.
He accepted the news stoically and quietly went about the business of healing.
I didnt have to do a lot of rehabilitation it just a matter of waiting, which was tough, Coleman said. They gave me exercises to do and thats what I did and I relied on my family for support.
Coleman, who plays the trumpet in the band, stayed active with the team, kept the scorebook at games and attended some practices, but related that he stayed away from basketball a little and worked on some other things.
But now he is ready to rejoin his teammates and make a complete comeback just as he did in football.
My recovery was slow, but I am virtually 100 percent. I could feel my mobility was getting better all through football, said Coleman, who has bolstered his skills and strength through lifelong pickup games with brothers John and Jerry, who are now playing at Clarkson University.
Its been the same way in basketball and it is just great to be back. I really enjoy football, basketball and baseball and work on all three throughout the year.
Bigwarfe said that seeing Coleman operating at full speed on the court was a huge lift for his team.
Everyone was really excited to have Will back and he really enjoys playing basketball with group, he said. And we are ready for a real challenge right off the bat playing Malone, Massena and OFA in our first three games.
Coleman cant wait for the 2012-13 Sandstoners baptism of fire.
Its great to be on top and we really want to stay there. We have a very good team and share the responsibilities very well, said Coleman, ideally suited for the Potsdam tradition of success through shutdown defense and fluid passing.
Our first three games are really going to be good ones.
Last October, Cavan LaRose was looking forward to the 2011-12 OFA basketball season like no other season in his life. As a junior, he played with Breton and Kinnon, now a freshman.
He had fully recovered from an elbow injury the previous March and was looking forward to following up a promising sophomore basketball campaign in which he scored 11 points a game and led the team in rebounding.
But his anticipation dampened in an instant when his left knee collapsed in an open gym session.
I made a steal and went for a layup. When I planted my knee it just collapsed, LaRose recalled. It had been a little sore before then but I didnt think much of it.
His knee was completely rebuilt by Dr. Billy Smith, an Ogdensburg native, at Lake Placid Sports Medicine.
The doctor told me that if I did all the rehab that it would take six months to get back physically, and maybe as much as a year to get back mentally, LaRose said.
Its been a year and I really feel great. The knee feels strong and over the summer I did a lot of sprints, and I think that my speed is almost there.
Henry has seen the speed and loves the fact that LaRose is playing without a brace and running just a shade behind Ross at the front of the teams sprint drills.
Cavan never felt sorry for himself and earned everyones respect because of the way he worked so hard to get back, Henry said. Its just great to have him back. This group has played together all their lives and is totally unselfish.
While going through the extreme pain in the aftermath of the surgery and the endless hours of grueling rehabilitation, LaRose kept one thing in the forefront.
He couldnt play, but he was going to be a tri-captain for a young team with a unique skill package. That skill package allowed Henry to execute an offense with multiple ballhandlers, multiple 3-point shooting options and multiple options of taking the ball to the basket.
And an offense where everyone instinctively shares the ball.
It wasnt about me. It was about them, said LaRose, whose presence should greatly enhance the Devils rebounding on both backboards.
And now it is all about us.

I've had a rough go of it the past couple weeks or so. My roughness began a few weeks back when, after a few nights of meditating, some nagging issues chose to rise to the surface. They rose several nights in a row. Issues on a very personal level that I need to find a way to deal with...a healthy way. Not the way that I have handled them for far too long.
I have a definite pattern:
- Ignore the issues and continue to try to do everything with no help.
- Overdo to the point that I get completely and totally fed up with the situation. Wait, I am always fed up... Okay, so there are times when I am just incredibly tired of stuffing these feelings deep inside my being.
- Upon realizing that I am, literally, sick and tired of having no time to relax, I feel used.
- Feeling used and misunderstood, I begin to dwell and mull over it and internalize everything for a while, which results in...
- Anger!!! I become very angry just thinking about it!
- I allow the anger to take control and thrust me into complete and total BITCH-DOM!!!
Confronting all of this head on always results in a lot of mulling and quiet thinking. I have always been this way. I sometimes attribute it to my ADHD. Other times, I blame it on the years of abuse as a child and teen. I learned to draw inward, a sort of coping mechanism if you will. Who knows what it really is. It's me, Rose. This is who I am. I tend to over think situations. The way I think has allowed me to be a pretty good listener and very empathetic with others. The best that I can do is to try not to over think too much. I have become better at this, especially after the realization 6 years ago that I have fibromyalgia. Too much internalizing and mulling makes me sick, and I don't want to inflict this upon myself. Only "me, myself, and I" can control this.
Last Friday, I wasn't feeling too well. I was having a lot of stomach issues and discomfort. I seldom have issues like this because I have learned that managing my food really helps. The stomach issues became bowel issues later in the day. By Saturday morning, I was feeling pretty rough. There was a little cloud over me. I stopped at a flea market Saturday morning when I was running errands. It was raining steadily. I had on flip flops and there were puddles everywhere. I ran around from booth to booth, trying to feel normal. Okay, so I didn't run. I meandered. I found a great deal - after some haggling - on a vintage, green canning jar, complete with the original lid. I adore old things. I sat there for a few minutes, laughing at myself. Silly, silly woman. I was soaking wet. My flip flops were dripping water and my toes were black from the mud. All I wanted to do was get warm. I started to think about crawling under a blanket and eating or drinking something warm and soothing. I fought off the urge to run through a drive-through and get something with gluten. I settled for a hot tea.
Sunday found me feeling worse. It hurt to walk. I had to force myself to do my usual exercise. I walk 4 to 5 nights a week, sometimes on my treadmill, sometimes at the local high school track. I knew that exercising would not make me feel worse, so I went through the motions. I had also been having trouble sleeping for several nights. I wasn't getting enough sleep or deep sleep. This is a big problem for those of us with fibromyalgia. I drank a lot of water and tea Sunday, and ate very little, just trying to flush whatever this was out of my body.
When I awoke Monday, I felt worse than I have in a really, really long time. Everything hurt. And I mean, everything! I walk up 22 stairs to get to my office, and I didn't run up those stairs even one time on Monday. I have a new project which requires figuring out how to extract a lot of data and put it into spreadsheets. What a difficult day for me! I had that classic fibro fog...so difficult to focus. I managed to muddle my way through the day. Again, I drank tons of water and avoided any food that required digestion. I brought some of my work home with me, hoping that I would be able to focus later. That just didn't happen for me. I ended up going to bed early and sleeping for 8 hours.
I woke up this morning feeling much more like me. Many of the aches and pains were gone. I was reminded of something that I had allowed myself to forget. Sleep is a very necessary thing. If I don't get it, my body reacts in a very violent manner. I had allowed all of my "mulling" to cause me to lose precious sleep. Funny how we allow ourselves to "forget" these things. Rest, food, and self-love are all keys to our happiness, both physically and emotionally.
Wow! Who knew what I would be dealing with as a result of doing this challenge? I am continually amazed and thankful for all of the awakening that is going on within me. I am thankful for my days of pain, just as I am thankful for my days of pleasure. Dealing with all of these afflictions certainly purges us of our self-centeredness and all of the world's vanities, doesn't it? I feel as though pain sharpens me and gives me very clear "eye sight." Pain can be transforming and for this I am truly thankful.
p.s. I am sharing some food pics. One is of my lemon water and my gluten free veggie pasta salad (a new recipe that my entire family enjoys). I'm also sharing a pic of the ice cream that I made last weekend. It's Cherry Garcia made with coconut milk. Again, the entire family loved it! Oh, and I'm also sharing a pic of my green canning jar that I picked up at the flea market.

The Rangers currently have five defensemen under the age of
28 on their roster and two more top prospects on the way, so it's very likely
New York will be looking to add some offensive firepower with its first-round
pick, No. 15 overall in the NHL Draft.
Between now and June 24th, we'll take a look at some of the
forwards that the Rangers might be thinking about taking on draft
day. Today, we look at…

What They're Saying:
THN – "It took Lucas Lessio a year to decide where he wanted
to play and the Generals are happy he chose Oshawa. After being named MVP of the OHL Cup in 2009, Lessio was drafted seventh
by Niagara, but committed to the University
of Michigan. The Generals acquired his rights and went to
work on him while he played Jr. A hockey in 2009-10 and managed to sign him for
this season. Lessio has good speed for a
player with his size and scouts like his in-game attitude. With his energy level and speed, he projects
to be more of a checker at the NHL level than a scorer. 'There was so much stink about him going to
Oshawa that people started to look for things wrong with him,' a scout
said. 'But the bottom line is he had a
pretty good year. He's big, can skate,
works hard and can score.' Lessio is one
of three highly rated Generals. 'He wows
you with his speed,' one scout said, 'but I'm not so sure about the rest of his
Scouting Report – "Lessio had a pretty average season based on the high
expectations he had coming in, but is still entrenched as a very solid early to
mid second round pick. The third Oshawa Generals forward on our list, Lessio is
a blue-collar winger who competes hard and plays well along the boards and in
front of the net. He has agile feet, allowing him to be effective on the
forecheck or in the cycle; and while he doesn't possess elite speed, he can
fight through checks with his powerful stride. Lessio does a lot of little things
well to generate offensive chances, but lacks the high-end finish you would
expect from a first-round pick. The end of his season is something he'd like to
forget, as he'll be serving a two-game suspension to start 2011 after his
actions following Oshawa's defeat against Niagara."
2011 Draft Watch – "This kid is big and skilled. There is no questioning
his size, speed and offensive prowess when on his game. But B2011DW watched him
in a game in January and absolutely despised his compete level and general
attitude in that particular contest. On one play, he was tripped, fell to the
ice and then chirped at the referee all the way up the ice while his team took
off on a 2-on-1. Had he hustled, it would have been a 3-on-1 and might have
resulted in a goal. We have no doubt that this kid will appeal to some team
because of his myriad hockey tools, but Bruins fans would be wise to cross him
off their wish list- we don't see it happening. Even so, he's near the top-50
because of his potential upside and will likely be a second-rounder, maybe even
a late-first. But if this draft is pick your flavor, B2011DW chooses to pass on

Thoughts: Controversy seems to follow this speed demon. His wheels are his greatest asset, but he
doesn't appear to have a whole lot else going for him. Lessio put up decent numbers in his first OHL
season, but scouts don't really rave about his offensive upside. The Rangers will be looking for a more
dynamic player.

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
The Psychology Program is shaped by the concept of psychology as a liberal art as well as a rigorous science. To this end, it is engaged in the enterprise of questioning and rethinking the discipline of psychology. Such a broad and deep understanding of psychology places into perspective the value and limits of views that claim that psychology is the study of mind, or the science of behavior, or the interaction of mind and body, or the personal growth and enrichment of the person.
Active research and writing is expected of students; original reflection is as important as detailed scholarship. Research seminars during the junior and senior years provide the occasions for students and faculty to work together in close association.
An I/O Psychology undergraduate concentration is available.
Psychology majors may earn a master's degree in psychology after approximately a full year of course work beyond the bachelor's degree.

Comments about Native Instruments Traktor Audio 2:
An interesting little box. Sound is good. Setup is not so clear. I did not want to install the DJ software but CD would not let me just install driver and it does not give you an option or how to find driver only. Had to download driver only. Works, but sound adjustment takes some time to figure out how you want it to sound. Headphone function is excellent - lots of headroom. Otherwise limited functionality. Old Audio Kontrol 1 overall better but much bulkier. Mobile DJ - just fine for that, but no inputs. Not sure I will keep it yet.
Comments about Native Instruments Traktor Audio 2:
Musicians Friend immediately sent me a replacement when I told them I had a defective unit. 10 out of 10 score for Musicians Friend! NI on the other hand is a pain in the but. Crappy support and lots of issues not addresed on their website or in the owner's manual.
It took me two hours to get this box to work as advertised, even once I got the WORKING unit. I wasted an whole day with the non-functioning one.
If you don't mind a long, painful setup (only took minutes to download updated drivers and install, but then the little bugger wouldn't stream audio), questionable quality control, poor support and very finicky audio requirments for the computer( USB 2.0 ONLY), then you'll be please with this after you get it to work. The output is clean and the level is very substantial. It will drive a good set of headphones from either output.
Has everything you'd want for a simple little device. It's compact and functional, when it functions.
Apparently, not to great. The first one I got didn't work, but it took me an entire afternoon of trying to troubleshoot using NI's extensive guide to the million-and-one things you need to do to make sure this little sucker will work, install of three computers, change USB cables and using a USB powered hub before, defeat USB power management, etc. It won't work on USB 1 and not on USB 3.0 either - something that really surprised me, although they don't mention this anywhere on their website. When I finally got a replacement unit and determined that it functioned, I still couldn't get it to stream audio until I found that one of the USB ports on my new Samsung laptop is 2.0, while the other two are apparently 3.0. They REALLY need to address this.
It's ok for a hundred bucks. But it's such a BEAR to get to work that I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.

NORWOOD - Classes have resumed at the Norwood-Norfolk Central School district following an incident which prompted the school to go into a lockdown.
According to a brief statement issues by the school, the school went into lockdown this morning because there was a stranger in the building.
State police were called and they took the person into custody. School officials say they dont know who the person is or why he or she was in the building. NNCS takes these situations very seriously and prefers to err on the side of caution, the district said in its statement.
Officials say the building is now secure.

People on both sides of tax issues often speak of such things as a "$300 billion tax increase" or a "$500 billion tax decrease." That is fine if they are looking back at something that has already happened. But it can be sheer nonsense if they are talking about a proposed increase or decrease in the tax rate.
The government can only raise or lower the tax rate. Whether the actual tax revenues that the government will collect as a result will go up or down is a matter of prophecy. And these prophecies have been far too wrong far too often to base national policies on them.
When Congress was considering raising the capital gains tax rate from 20 percent to 28 percent in 1986, the Congressional Budget Office advised Congress that this would increase the revenue received from that tax. But the Congressional Budget Office was wrong, not simply about the amount of the tax revenue increase, but about the fact that the capital gains tax revenue actually fell.
There was nothing unique about this example of tax rates and tax revenues moving in opposite directions from each other — and also in opposite directions from the predictions of the Congressional Budget Office. Reductions of the capital gains tax rates in 1978, 1997 and 2003 all led to increased revenues from that tax.
The Congressional Budget Office is by no means the only government agency whose prophecies have been grossly unreliable. Anyone who looks at the history of the Federal Reserve System will find many painful examples of wrong prophecies that led to policies with bad consequences for the whole economy.
In a worldwide context, during the 20th century economic central planning by governments — prophecy at the grandest level — led to so many bad consequences, in countries around the world, that even most socialist and communist governments abandoned central planning by the end of that century.

Topic Title: How many Chartered Engineers are there in the UK?

I have seen figures of >200,000 for Chartered Engineers but how many of them are Electrical. Does anyone have any idea?
25 January 2013 12:17 PM
This would be an impossible question to answer without asking them individually. The IET takes the view that trying to precisely define Engineers by "type" is impractical and limiting. Technologies and the opportunities to exploit them continually evolve. The IET is the "Professional Home for Life for Engineers and Technicians". We expect that the during a professional career many of our members will both drive these changes and respond to them.
At one time I described myself as an Electrical Engineer, although I might fall outside your narrower question because I was an Incorporated Electrical Engineer (with some Mechanical and Electronic capability). Many members of The Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) used the Title "Chartered Electrical Engineer". At the time the Chartered or Incorporated designation depended largely on whether you went to university (CEng) or completed an apprenticeship and studied part-time to higher level (IEng). Relatively few of my generation in the UK went to university and even fewer in the generation before me, so the IEE had different rules and special exams at one time.
By 1990 the IEE had absorbed The Institution of Electronic and Radio Engineers and the Institution of Manufacturing Engineers. By 2006 The multi-disciplinary Institution of Incorporated Engineers joined and The Institution of Engineering and Technology came into being. The IET is world renowned for its expertise in the fields of electrical and electronic engineering and continues to build upon the IEE foundations .
To attempt to answer the question in 2011 according to Engineering Council published figures The IET held around 70 000 registrations, of those, I would very crudely estimate that circa 40,000 would be Chartered Engineers who considered their primary area of expertise to be in electrical, electronic and related technologies.
Amongst the 35 smaller bodies that register Engineers in the UK I would offer another crude estimate that there are a further 5000-8000 CEng who would primarily consider themselves electrical and electronic.
There are a proportion of people who express their multi-disciplinary interest by membership of more than one institution, but their Engineering Council registration will be via a "home institution".
If you want to research the area further then there are many sources of information including Engineering Council, Engineering UK, UK Government Departments and research bodies like the Institute for Employment Studies. I'm sure the IET Library team could help.

John Palfrey's Biblio Tech: Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google adroitly and lucidly argues for the preservation of that most democratic of public institutions, the public library. Clearly I am the very definition of "preaching to the choir" when it comes to the premise of this book, but Palfrey's clear perspective and the light he sheds on a path toward a public library model that keeps pace with technology and our digitally evolving society is well worth reading and thinking about.
For someone who loves books and reading, and is inflicted with an incurable case of curiosity, working in a library is often both a blessing and a curse. I read hundreds of book reviews every year, I see tons of books every day, and I talk about books with patrons, coworkers, and friends incessantly. On top of those sources, my love of bookstores and the existence of the internet means there are untold book discoveries to be made. All those books lead me to seek out even more books, and there's really no hope I'll ever get to all the titles that catch my eye. Earlier this week, while working in the 400 Dewey range of adult non-fiction (the section for language) I stumbled upon a newer book called 101 Two-Letter Words by musician Stephin Merritt, front man of pop band the Magnetic Fields. It's a little book of short poems, one for each of the two-letter words allowed in Scrabble. I recently started playing Scrabble again, so this book was a happy discovery. Merritt's poems make memorizing the two-letter words easier and more enjoyable. Here are a few poems:AIThe ai, a threatened three-toed slothFound only in Brazil, munches on leaves and sleeps in trees.I hope it always will. QIQi, in Chinese medicine:vitality, or breath;say it "chee," as in "Say cheese!"Its opposite is death.SH"Sh," says the librarian,"people are trying to read.And turn that goddamn cellphone off,before I make you bleed."The book is illustrated by Roz Chast, whose graphic memoir Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, appeared on numerous best of 2014 lists and was a National Book Award finalist. 101 Two-Letter Words persuaded me to finally pick up her book and reminded me that the library's digital magazine service, Zinio, now offers access to the New Yorker, which Chast works for as a cartoonist. My to-read pile continues to grow!
Here's a 2014 book on a subject that's close to my heart. It's a 'photographic essay' about the public library, and has quality photographs of a wide variety of libraries, both active and abandoned, around the nation. Interspersed with the pictures are essays by noted authors. One of these I especially like is the essay called 'What the Library Means to Me,' written by author Amy Tan when she was only eight years old. Among others who reflect on the book that Toni Morrison calls 'profound and heartbreakingly beautiful' are Isaac Asimov, Barbara Kingsolver, and even Dr. Seuss.
the time of year when all of the "Best of" lists for music, movies, and books come out! I usually scour a bunch of my favorite websites to find book recommendations and make a list of all the great stuff I missed. Then I put it all on hold at KPL and wait for that glorious moment when there's a stack waiting for me on the library's hold shelf!
I like the lists from Publisher's Weekly, NPR, the New York Times (and children's) that come out around this year. But the list I most look forward to each year is KPL's Best of 2013. Our staff have a range of interests and each year the "Best Of" list has wonderful choices on it! Each title is conveniently linked to our catalog for quicker hold-placing! If the library doesn't own something you are interested in, fill out a "Suggest an Item" and let us know.
Update as of 12/4: NPR has changed it up this year and is offering a book discovery tool called "Book Concierge" and it's lovely. No list format from them this year, just cover images to play around with! I'm in love!
Happy reading, listening, and viewing to you!
Like many of us, I have an extensive 'to-read' list. (Actually, it's multiple lists and collections of clippings and hastily scribbled notes). In my email today, a newsletter of recent releases had an item that caught my eye: Of dice and men: The story of Dungeons and Dragons and the people who play it by David Ewalt, which has now been added to the list. Though I've never been a fanatical player, I am definitely a nerd, and I have a soft spot in my heart for dice with more than six sides, so this book looks like a fun read.
The library has this book on order, so I can place a hold, or (more reasonably given the number of items I already have checked out) place it on one of my KPL lists. Do you know about this great feature? From the item record, I can click on the "Select an Action" button and choose "Add to My Lists" which will put the item on a list that is either temporary (if I'm not logged in) or attached to my account (if I am). In the latter case, I can log in and look at the titles on my list, and place a hold from there.
If you're in a book club that is about to set a reading calendar for the year, don't forget to check our Book Club in a Bag offerings. We added new titles earlier this year, and will continue to add more--both fiction and nonfiction--in our ongoing effort to keep the BCIB collection as current and relevant as possible.
And if you haven't been to the Central library downtown in a few months, you may not know that the Book Club in a Bag sets are now available for patrons to browse and check out on their own, without having to talk to a staff person. You can also search for them in the catalog and place a hold to have a set sent to a different branch location for your convenience. Simply type "Book club in a bag" in the catalog to see what titles are available.
If you have any questions about Book Club in a Bag procedures, consult the borrowing guidelines or contact Reader Services.
We are what we read. But how do we decide what to read? Normally we don't have a systematic program for our reading life. Perhaps a friend told us, or the "customers also bought this..." on Amazon.com, or our last book mentioned it, or we heard it on NPR or Oprah. These are all great, but there's many other ways. Try the Now Read This through our website. Or, if you want a Read-a-Like based on an author you like, try our Books and Authors database (or try Good Reads or LibraryThing).
But, if you want to get super serious, we have tons of books that are about books (i.e. bibliographies, "treasuries," "anthologies," "companions").
Based on Age:
1001 children's books you must read before you grow up, 100 best books for children, The Book of virtues for young people : a treasury of great moral stories, Black Books Galore! Guide to great African American children's books about girls, 500 Great Books for Teens, Disabilities and disorders in literature for youth : a selective annotated bibliography for K-12, The Ultimate Teen Book Guide
"I just want the classics!" (usually this means great literature, not necessary from the Classical period):
Cambridge Guide to Literature in English, Magill's survey of world literature, Literature Lovers Companion: the essential reference to the world's greatest writers—past and present, popular and classical, Assessing the Classics: great reads for adults, teens, and English language learners, The modern library : the two hundred best novels in English since 1950, Harvard Classics series (has the actual writings)
By Genre:
Short Story Writers, The Essential Mystery Lists, Harold Bloom writes several books, e.g. on British Women Fiction Writers, Asian American Women Writers, Major Black American Writers, Classic Science Fiction Writers, and more.
To find the major books in an academic field, like philosophy or physics or astronomy, look for an introductory book. They usually have primary sources and "further reading" sections.
Racial or Cultural Identity:
African Writers, Sacred fire : the QBR 100 essential Black books, Concise encyclopedia of Latin American literature, Native American literatures : an encyclopedia of works, characters, authors, and themes
Movements and Places:
Literary movements for students : presenting analysis, context, and criticism on commonly studied literary movements, Promised Land: 13 books that shaped America, The Oxford companion to American literature (we also have these for Austrialian, French, Canadian, and more); Michigan in the Novel (really cool book list of novels set in MI or about MI)
Have fun reading, and slow down to think!
"More, More, More," Said the Baby: Three Love Stories is the story of Little Guy, Little Pumpkin, and Little Bird, three active babies whose caregivers affectionately "catch them up" to deliver kisses and nibble toes which, of course, the babies love. We've been enjoying this Caldecott Honor book along with our songs and rhymes at Baby Steps every Tuesday morning at 10:30 at the Central Library. While it's a great Valentine's Day choice, More, More, More is nice any time of year and fun for older children and their caregivers, too. It's also available in a board book edition, perfect for sharing with the youngest readers-to-be.
During this busy holiday season, parents and other adults are scrambling about in search of the perfect gift for their children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces. Well, look no further!
Consider a gift that will entertain and educate kids of all ages and bring your family closer together. Give the gift that keeps on giving - the gift of reading! Reading with a child/children and encouraging them to read independently are two of the most significant things an adult can do to influence a youngster's life.
Of course, good books make wonderful gifts. Kids naturally enjoy the magic that a book brings as they go over the story and illustrations, (many times, often more than once), practice their reading skills and perhaps learn something new in the process. Magazine subscriptions also make great recurring reading presents.
But maybe the best option for a reading themed gift is to bring a child to the Kalamazoo Public Library sometime during their holiday break. If you time it right, you can attend one of many programs planned for children. Then you can sign up the little guys for their own library cards, which come complete with plastic carrying cases and lanyards. And even though it is free of charge, the amount of pride and joy you'll see in the little ones' faces when first presented with it, will form a pleasurable, lasting memory for all gift givers.
Once armed with the card, the child has the entire library's collection at his or her disposal. They can choose their own books, audiobooks, magazines, CDs, and DVDs. Of course, librarians are always on hand to aid your young ones in the selection process, helping to match the child with books covering their particular interests, and on their reading level as well. Best of all, this process can be repeated again and again. Just return the items and pick out new ones as many times as you like. Truly the best gift of all. And one that will keep on giving for a lifetime!
Anyone who's been out and about in Kalamazoo on a Saturday morning since early winter has likely encountered the large groups of runners, many organized by the awesome Kalamazoo Area Runners, who have been training steadily for the Kalamazoo Marathon (May 6-8). With the weather improving (any day now!) and the event now only a week away, the dedication and discipline of these runners who trained outdoors through the Michigan winter is sure to pay off. The fact that these folks are not professional athletes, but regular, busy, time stressed, everyday people with professional, social, and family lives is not lost on me. While I am not a runner, I am a (mildly) competitive cyclist and the older I get and the more packed my daily life becomes with family, professional, and community commitments, the more my fitness goals take a backseat in my life and my time to devote to training shrinks further. Luckily KPL has multiple resources that can help keep you motivated and getting the most out of even the most limited of training schedules. If its training/social groups that keep you motivated then there is no better place to start your search for local organizations than the Kalamazoo Public Libraries Local Organization Directory. If you are looking for books to help make the most of your workouts, Chris Carmichael's The Time-Crunched Triathlete , Kris Gethin's Body by Design, and in the extreme even the craziness of Tim Ferriss's The 4-Hour Body, provide a scientifically (if not a tiny bit morally questionable in the case of Ferriss) backed approach to squeezing the most fitness out of the least amount of time. If it is advice or motivation from the vast amount of online communities and information sources that keep you going, KPL has you covered with free wifi in all of our locations and plenty of newly installed blazing fast computers. But even with all of these information sources easily accessible from KPL, it is still the individual that gets out of bed and out running on a cold and snowy January morning and that is why those folks running in next week's marathon are so worthy of the communities support and I wish everyone participating, no matter what distance or target time, good luck in next week's event.

Dr. Emily V. Finlayson's Ratings
Dr. Finlayson was rushed and very unfriendly. She spoke about me to the nurse rather than directly to me. She had no compassion and did not give me time to ask questions about my health and my options. I've never felt so lonely and lost as I had after my visit with her.

Dr Finlayson is an EXCELLENT surgeon. She has done two procedures for me, both of which required her to overcome unforeseen difficulties with my insides. She has corrected, through her craft, and problem that plagued me for years, and is now just a painful memory. Dr Finlayson at times may seem rushed, but she is thorough. She isn't rushed, she's just high energy and very fast - gets down to business, but not in an alienating way. Very knowledgeable, considers all aspects of your condition and care, is compassionate to patients (will not let you be in pain if able), and has a great sense of humor, albeit a bit dry at times. I would recommend Dr Emily Finlayson to anyone considering colorectal surgery with access to the Ann Arbor Michigan area, University of Michigan Hospital. She's great, and I owe my current physical wellbeing and comfort to her! Go Dr Finlayson!

Five Days, Five Nights (Cinco Dias, Cinco Noites)
Set in 1949 Portugal when the country was under strict right-wing government, this drama follows the flight of a 19-year-old political fugitive and the resourceful but mysterious older man who agrees to help him get out of the country. The precise reasons why young Andre, who was involved with a revolutionary movement, was put into prison is never clarified. After his escape from prison, Andre is introduced to the button-down Lambaca. He is not what Andre was expecting, and he does not completely trust the gun-toting Lambaca, but with everything to lose -- including the fortune in cash he carries upon him -- the youth has no choice but to follow him. As the difficult trek into the north continues, Andre's trepidation mounts.~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — As you might expect, Leslie Moonves, the president and chief executive of CBS Corp., is extremely competitive. Exactly how competitive, though?
Moonves couldn't suppress his pleasure about the public discomfort that rival NBC CMCSA, -0.18% experienced a few years ago, when NBC replaced Conan O'Brien with Jay Leno at 11:35 p.m., prompting a very public outburst from the furious O'Brien and a messy fight over the coveted late-night time slot.
While plenty of CEOs would use a platitude to comment on an opponent's woes, Moonves charged ahead during an interview with Gerard Baker, the deputy editor-in-chief of The Wall Street Journal at The Journal's monthly "Viewpoints" series of breakfast interviews with business leaders. Moonves smiled and said: "I'd be lying if I didn't say I enjoyed every (day) of the Leno debacle."
New revenue streams for CBS
Les Moonves, CEO of CBS Corp., discusses how the revenue model of CBS and other television networks has changed and the company's decision to not stream its programming on Hulu.
Of course, Moonves's foes must have done their share of chortling over the years. Remember when Charlie Sheen, self-destructed while he starred on CBS's "Two and Half Men"? More recently, Angus T. Jones, who has played Jon Cryer's son on that same popular situation comedy, made headlines when he recently declared that the show was "filth" and that people shouldn't watch it. (Jones subsequently issued an apology for his remarks.)
Moonves, slyly noting that Jones still collected his $300,000-a-week pay, said that after weathering the Sheen meltdown, the Jones diatribe was a "piece of cake."
His competitive instincts helped to lift CBS CBS, -0.66% from last place to first among television networks in the past decade. Moonves apparently hasn't lost any of his edge.
"I still get up at 5 in the morning" and look right away at the television ratings, he said.
And he still participates in CBS production meetings and winces whenever his subordinates make errors that he could have averted. "That kills me," he said.
Even now, Moonves can't — or won't try to — disguise his satisfaction at topping NBC. Once, NBC looked like such a villain to him he called it the "Darth Vader" of TV networks.
As an indication of Moonves's success at the helm, the CBS share price is up 31% year to date versus 12% for the benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 index SPX, -0.68%
As Moonves told investment professionals at a Goldman Sachs conference in September: "We are the least sexy network. We get less buzz. All we do is get more viewers and make more money."
CBS's top new shows this season are "Vegas," a drama about a real-life sheriff's fight to end corruption in Las Vegas in the 1960s, and "Elementary," a modern take on Sherlock Holmes in New York City.
Despite his progress at CBS, Moonves can't control the steady decline in viewers' interest in watching network TV shows. Such cable shows as AMC's "Mad Men" and Showtime's "Homeland" have been described as the most exciting recent TV dramas. (Luckily for Moonves, Showtime is owned by CBS.)
Moonves said he expects to see people increasingly watching TV shows on computers and mobile devices. Computers and TV screens "will be the same thing," he predicted," noting that viewers will take advantage of their ability to watch TV shows at all times of the day and night, thanks to the DVR and other innovations.

|The southeast champion, Kunal Sah sits in the middle with his dad, Ken, and his principal, Nolan Johnson after the big win.
Months of hard work has paid off for spelling champion Kunal Sah and it happened at his home school.
Sah is a seventh grade student from Green River High School. He competed and won at the school, the district and is now the regional champion.
Along with this honor of being champion he will advance to Washington D.C. to compete in the National Spelling Bee on May 31-June 1.
The regional spelling bee consisted of students from Emery, Carbon, Grand and San Juan counties and was sponsored by the Emery County Progress and Sun Advocate newspapers as well as the districts themselves and the Southeast Educational Service Center.
Three Emery County students participated including the champion Kunal Sah from Green River, Jaecee Bird from Cleveland and Marilyn Malan from Ferron.
The regional spelling bee was held at Green River High School. Five spelling activities were held beginning with the build a word competition, boggle competition, geo-spelling, paideia words and spelling rules and the main event, the spell down.
The words were provided by Scripps Newspapers and no pre-study of the words was allowed. The commentator would ask the student a word and the student would repeat the word back and then spell the word. If a contestant missed a word, they were eliminated from the competition.
However, when the contestants were narrowed down to only two then each contestant had a chance to spell a missed word correctly and then if they did so they would also need to spell a word of their own correctly to win the competition.
The words weren't easy. The words included quadruped, journalism, academia, foreign, receipt, musician, condition, suspicion, physician, inertia, duodenum, ganglion, delicious, partial, endocrine, vacuum and many others.
Kira Simpson from San Juan and Kunal Sah were the last two spellers left after everyone else had been eliminated. Kira misspelled the word calefactory and Kunal spelled it correctly. He was then given the word impeccable which he spelled correctly to win the competition and the trip to Washington, D.C.
"I feel really good about this competition," said Sah. "I practice two to three hours each day and my dad tests me about once a week. The competition in Washington, D.C. is May 31-June 1.
Simpson was philosophic about losing.
"I don't like studying that much so I'm glad Kunal is going," she said.
Eli Beck from San Juan finished third in the competition.
The prizes were awarded with each contestant placing in an event and receiving an award.
Also competing at regionals were Edwin Juan from Montezuma Creek; Destiny Brasher, Sally Mauro; Shylie Richardson, Helper Jr. High; Albert Jeffs, Sally Mauro; and from Grand, Kamron Call, Brooklyn Richards and Delaney Roberts.
This will be the first time in the last few years that a regional winner from the area is able to go to the Washington D.C. competition. Around 2000 one of the statewide papers dropped its sponsorship of the event. Without a newspapers sponsorship, events can be held locally, but the winner cannot go to the nationals.
This past year Julie Taylor of the Southeast Educational Service Center approached Patsy Stoddard, editor of the Emery County Progress and Richard Shaw, publisher of both the Sun Advocate and the Progress and requested that the papers sponsor the events. With that partnership, Sah can now go to the big competition in the nation's capitol.

On May 31, 2011, I reached the age of 85. In other words I've lived through 85 summers, 85 winters, 85 springs. It may seem like a lot, but it's not. 85 is not much of anything. What can you buy for 85 cents? What can you buy for 85 dollars? What is 85 compared to a national debt in the trillions? As the well-known saying goes, "Life is short." Short, indeed. We should be living for hundreds of years, because it takes more than 85 years to become truly wise. But the good Lord decided that this short life is long enough, even though the Bible speaks of persons living hundreds of years.
What happened to shorten our lives? Maybe it was God's observation that it doesn't take long for a human being to make a mess of things. Look at the mess in Washington, all made mostly by people under 60 years of age. Some are just in their 30s and 40s. Maybe God decided that the longer people live, the more stupid and evil they get, and the more damage they can do. People are supposed to mellow with age — but that doesn't seem to apply to politicians or dictators.

Glenn R. Unger remains in federal custody after he refused to sign a $50,000 bond Wednesday afternoon in a federal tax fraud case during a hearing in Albany.
The former Potsdam orthodontist, 62, was indicted last month on allegations that he filed for more than $36 million in fraudulent income tax refunds from 2007 to 2011. While the indictment mentions only Albany and Saratoga counties as the locations where his alleged crimes took place, the Department of Justice has identified him as a resident of Ogdensburg.
Dr. Unger has been identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a leader in the antigovernment sovereign citizens movement who formerly hosted an online radio broadcast under the alias Dr. Sam Kennedy and lived in Clifton Park, Saratoga County.
A Dec. 17 criminal complaint filed by federal officials does not include his address, but does include Dr. Ungers radio alias and alleges that at least one of his fraudulent filings was made in Saratoga County.
Dr. Unger was arraigned last week before U.S. Magistrate Judge Randolph F. Treece, who said he would consider releasing Dr. Unger only if he signed a bond and posted real property to support it. The detention hearing was adjourned until Wednesday to give Dr. Unger an opportunity to post a bond.
Dr. Unger appeared before the judge without a lawyer on Wednesday, saying he did not wish to retain or request legal counsel, according to federal court records.
The judge told Dr. Unger that he would have to post a bond, secured by U.S. property documented by a certified deed copy, an appraisal and a title search as well as the pledge of a financially secure individual.
Dr. Unger told the judge that he wished to review the conditions and appearance bond and declined to sign them Wednesday, court records show. He then was remanded back into custody.
A Brooklyn native who graduated from the SUNY Buffalo School of Dentistry, Dr. Unger maintained an orthodontics practice in Potsdam from about 1980 until the early 1990s.
State Education Department records show Dr. Unger received his dental license in 1976. While his license remains valid, department officials confirmed that periodic registration is required to practice, and that Dr. Unger allowed his registration to lapse in June 2010.
A trial has been set for March 4 in Binghamton before Senior Judge Thomas J. McAvoy.
