JAY-Kody Halikas had two first period goals and four different players had a goal apiece as the North Country Falcons defeated the Missisquoi Thunderbirds on Saturday night.
It was another penalty filled contest, the second in a row in Jay for the Falcons, as the home team racked up fourteen calls, including one five and three ten minute misconducts. MVU had nine penalties, with two being ten minute misconducts.
"We had some bright spots and we had some dark spots," coach Andrew Roy said when asked of his overall impression of the game.
NEWPORT–For a game that ended at 60-47, UCA's win over Cabot in boy's basketball felt a lot closer than it actually was.
Much of the game was played with UCA leading by about twenty points, but Coach Tony DeLaBruere hard a hard time believing the point differential.
"Every time I looked at the score I couldn't believe it and we were fortunate to be where we were at the end because it should have been much closer game," he said after the game.
Things got off to a slow pace, with both teams trying to find a rhythm they were comfortable with.
NEWPORT–The UCA girls picked up their third win of the season, and their second over Cabot, as they won a close one 40-37.
It didn't start out too close as UCA came out on fire, scoring sixteen points in the first.
"We talked about coming out strong and it was nice to see them come out strong and be confident," said coach Molly Smith.
Hannah Piette was dealing, knocking home two from downtown and one from a bit closer.
Amy DeLaBruere continues to improve her game and she had four points, as did Laura Libby.
North Country 2, U-32 0
MONTPELIER-Mikaella Doran stopped thirteen shots and the Falcons scored a pair of goals to defeat U-32 2-0 on Saturday evening.
"It was our usual M.O., we couldn't score, but we had a much better first period," said coach Claude Paul.
The Falcons did manage to get one in the first, as they out-shot the Raiders 10-5 in the period.
Emily Doty notched her second of the season, converting on a Corrina Cota pass to make it 1-0.
JAY–Despite playing with a bad back, Taylor Morley had a goal and an assist as North Country rallied to salvage a 2-2 tie with the Rice Green Knights on Wednesday evening.
"From the end of the second period on, it was our game, and I think with a little more puck-luck we would have won in overtime," said coach Claude Paul. "That is how I want to see us play, the way we did in the third period. It was good to see them come back and get a positive out of a negative start."
Boys UCA 55, MV 29
Girls MV 59, UCA 31
NEWPORT–Nineteen first quarter points combined with some tenacious defense fueled the UCA boys, as they defeated Masse Vanier in an international contest Monday afternoon at the Newport municipal building.
"It is a different kind of game on such a small court," said UCA coach Tony DeLaBruere. "This win was because of the stellar defense in the 1st half, holding them to 9 pts."
Marquel Taylor-Webster had his best game of the season, scoring 24 points and grabbing 20 rebounds while disrupting many shots in the paint.
NEWPORT–The North Country Falcons' girl's basketball team managed to hang with the Colchester Lakers for two and two-third quarters before the visitors pulled away in the Lakers 45-33 win on Monday night.
"The biggest picture that affected us tonight was the fact that we could not get the ball inbounds on out of bounds plays," said coach Christiane Brown. "Our offense was also very hot and cold. Sometimes we could run it, sometimes not. When we ran it we looked good, when we didn't run it and it became more of a one man show, it was not a very fluid offense."
LRU 59, Winooski 36
ORLEANS–Alex Beauregard had a game-high sixteen points and Shaquille Urie added eleven as the Lake Region Rangers rolled past the Winooski Spartans 59-36 on Monday evening.
Things were relatively close early, as the Rangers put up thirteen points in each of the first two quarters, compared to 9 and 8 by the Spartans.
The third quarter saw the game shift completely over to Lake Region when they took off, outscoring Winooski 17-2 in the period.
Beaugard had six of his sixteen in the third, while Urie was behind him with four.
JAY–If ever there was a contest where the officials dictated the pace of the game, it was the North Country-South Burlington hockey struggle on Saturday night at the Ice Haus.
While the Rebels won the game 5-2, the scoring was not the story of the game, it was the men in black white who were there to "officiate."
Twenty-one total penalties were called, including 12 on the Falcons alone, and many of the calls made were either inaccurate or of a phantom nature, completely eliminating the possibility of any flow or continuity in the game.
NEWPORT–After a high scoring affair that saw St. Johnsbury defeat North Country 101-75 Thursday night, the Falcons were back on the court on Saturday afternoon, taking on the Essex Hornets.
Things did not go much better for the hometown team in this one either as they fell 85-67.
While they did not get the win, the boys did not shy away from their opponent, showing great fortitude in the second half as they tried to rally back into the game.

MLSsoccer.com's Dan Haiek and Matt Doyle and break down the Fire's match vs. the Revs.
Select shots from the Fire's 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls presented by MiAllstate.
Chicago Fire forward Quincy Amarikwa proved rather effective in what time he got on the field last year (he scored three goals in 299 minutes). In his time off of it, he also proved to be perhaps the top MLS player in the league's Fantasy Manager game.
With the start of the 2014 MLS season just two days away, he's presenting a challenge: #BeatQuincy at MLS Fantasy Manager... See below:

When asked about finalizing his roster before the start of the 2014 season Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop said on a conference call last week that he and his staff were "looking at other possibilities with other teams about maybe trading. We're forever on the lookout."
The options have become clearer as Yallop and his staff have pulled the trigger on two trades in three days.
On Monday, the team acquired left back Greg Cochrane from the LA Galaxy while the team acquired midfielder Matt Watson (above) from Vancouver in exchange for an international roster spot.
Neither player is brought in with a view of starting but it seems likely Yallop and his staff will look to both to provide depth. Cochrane played 12 matches for LA during his rookie season in 2013, filling in mostly for veteran Todd Dunivant.
Watson, who's known for a high work ethic and steady, consistent performances, played a more regular role with the Whitecaps over the past two seasons, appearing in 21 matches in 2013.
The acquisitions mean that the team roster sits at 29 players four days out from the season opener vs. Chivas USA. While MLS rosters can accomodate 30 players, Yallop has said he expects to start the season with 28, likely using the open two spots to earn allocation money from the league to help with the team's tight salary situation.
With the team admitting they're working towards a loan deal with Tottenham Hotspur's Grant Ward, it seems likely more moves could be imminent.
Stay tuned.
As someone that's taken in Section 8 Chicago trips to Montreal, Toronto, Kansas City, Columbus, Philadelphia, New York and in a month, Portland, I've come to appreciate the character and drive that is inherent in a traveling supporter's blood as they lend their voice to help the Fire on the road.
And while it's amazing to see so many take air trips, bus rides or insanely long travels in a stuffy van for a regular season match, I've also come to appreciate some of the faces I see every year in preseason.
For "The West Wing" aficionados out there, it reminds me of Bradley Whitford's character Josh Lyman trying to get to Port St. Lucie, Fla., for a New York Mets intrasquad game during Season 2's "Stackhouse Filibuster" just so catcher Mike Piazza could say, "Dude" to him.
At this point, if you're not understanding the Sorkinese I'm throwing at you, please meet Ray Cook, the Chicago Fire's very own version of Josh Lyman (more in the sports fan sense).
Ray traveled to Tucson via Amtrak from Chicago and even beat the team here (arriving Friday). I've seen Ray each of the last four preseasons (usually in Charleston, S.C.) but as he says, his tradition of making it out prior to the start of every campaign dates back to 2000 and has taken him to such places as Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Jackson, Miss., New Orleans and Guadalajara, Mexico.
This is why he does it...
You'd have to say with all the snow in Chicago last night (and this winter), he's looking pretty smart.
Mike Magee became the first Chicago Fire player since Wilman Conde in 2009 to grab an MLS Best XI selection on Tuesday. The Chicago native joined an exclusive club of 14 players that have earned the honor while with the Men in Red, adding up to 22 total selections (third highest in MLS) since 1998.
For the record, former Fire captain Chris Armas has the most Best XI selections with the club, earning five (1998-2001, 2003) during his 10-year career with the Men in Red.
See below the club's previous MLS Best XI selections:
With two massive road victories under their belt, the Fire play the final regular season game of 2013 at Toyota Park against Toronto FC on Saturday night (LIVE 7pm CT on My50/Time Warner Sports Wisconsin).
With six goals scored in the last two matches, the Men in Red are hitting form at the right time and know if results go their way, they could be guaranteed an MLS Cup Playoff spot by the final whistle. Toronto have nothing to play for but will be looking to play spoiler. Here are some tactical things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Keeping up the high pressure tactic – play a high line and get players into the TFC box
As I mentioned before, the Fire have scored six goals in the last two games. The closest to that tally in a previous two-game MLS span has been four goals. With that in mind, the Men in Red must try and get people into the box whenever possible against Toronto.
In many games this season, Toronto have not been undone by individual brilliance, but rather defensive errors. TFC coach Ryan Nelson, a former defender, must be disgusted by the amount of tap in goals his team has allowed with Sporting KC, Montreal and New York all scoring simple goals against Toronto and all stemming from defenders ball watching and not following their marks.
The Fire need to try and take advantage of this by getting more players from the midfield into the box to support assumed strikers Mike Magee and Juan Luis Anangono. The high pressure tactic can be very beneficial to this, with players like Alex not allowing the defenders to have time and space on the ball. With the team playing a high line and not dropping deep, it will give players an opportunity to get forward and into the box faster.
The Rios conundrum – who to start in the center of midfield?
Arevalo Rios played two grueling matches for Uruguay over the past week, helping La Celeste qualify for the World Cup intercontinental playoff against Jordan.
After playing 180 minutes for his country and only returning to Chicago on Thursday, it might be difficult for him to start in the middle for the Fire on Saturday night.
WATCH: Magee, Berry talk Toronto FC
One reason that the coaching staff might decide to start Rios however is that Jeff Larentowicz is currently sitting on four yellow cards and one more against TFC would rule him out of the season finale at New York next Sunday.
Another option for the Men in Red could be to start Larentowicz and bring on Rios for the former New England man if the Fire are in a comfortable position.
That being said, as we have seen from the past two games, the high pressure tactic is effective regardless of who starts in the middle.
Muzzling Bobby Convey – a danger on both wings
Bobby Convey is one of the few players to have a strong year for TFC and the Fire must not allow him to create chances for target striker Bright Dike. Convey is equally comfortable playing on either wing and it wouldn't surprise me if he started on the right where he would link up with improving right back Mark Bloom.
While Bakary Soumare has found form again in the last few matches after having a few horror moments previously, Gonzalo Segares is a player that will be looking to have a better performance against TFC.
In 1v1 situations, Sega is very difficult to beat but the problems start when players make runs in behind him. The Costa Rican can sometimes be caught too high up the field while other times he is forced to move inside to cover for one of the center backs. Both of these were highlighted in last weekend's match against Dallas.
Against Toronto, I would also like to see the Fire's outside midfielder track back and help out Segares more, especially if Bloom gets forward. A composed and compact performance by the Fire's back four as a unit will give the team a very good chance of coming out of the game with three points and maybe even a guaranteed playoff spot.
Prediction: After having to endure a nervy end to last week's match, the Fire make it easier on fans by winning 2-0 with goals from Alex and Mike Magee.
Hey, look at that... For his vaillant performance en route to a win over FC Dallas, the folks over at MLSsoccer.com decided to make Mike Magee the #3 performer of the week!
And since we're on the subject of Mike Magee, we would like to subtly steer you in the direction to support him to be the MLS MVP. Check out the video below!
After getting the job done in DC last Friday night, the Fire head south to take on a FC Dallas side needing a miracle to make the MLS Cup playoffs Saturday night (7pm CT My50/TWC Wisconsin). Dallas are in free fall and despite the Fire's record in Texas, the Men in Red should be settling for nothing less than three points. Here are some things to keep an eye on from a tactical perspective.
Perez away on Panama duty
Blas Perez has all the characteristics of an elite CONCACAF striker: finishing ability, gamesmanship and non-stop focus; similar to Carlos Ruiz. So perhaps it's a good thing that the Dallas's leading goal scorer is away for Panama's crucial World Cup qualifying match with Mexico this weekend.
Perez has 11 goals on the year, with his closest teammate being Kenny Cooper at four. In Perez's absence, it's hard to see Dallas switching way from their lone striker formation and Cooper would seem the likely candidate to slot in after ending his nearly five-month goal scoring drought last weekend vs. RSL.
Cooper is a powerful forward that has historically done well against the Fire, tallying six goals in 12 career matches. With a goal last weekend under his belt and Dallas fighting for their playoff lives, he won't be one to take lightly.
Focusing on Jackson – the Brazilian is instrumental in the Hoops' attack
Jackson has impressed me in Dallas's most recent matches against Columbus and RSL. He normally operates on the right wing, trying to get the ball inside to Perez or a midfield runner. In the last match against RSL, Jackson drifted inside more often.
This was in part due to the fact that RSL had a man sent off early after a disgraceful tackle on the Brazilian. He also showed that he can be a threat in the box, forcing Nick Rimando into a brilliant 1v1 save after an attempted flick over the keeper with the outside of his foot.
In last week's match against DC, the Fire played a very open style of play in the first half, attacking in numbers. If you only looked at the score line, you would think that this tactic was a success but it could've been a lot different if it wasn't for Sean Johnson. He bailed his team out with some brilliant saves after DC caught the Fire out with too many players forward.
It is understandable that the Fire will play in a similar fashion against Dallas due to the need for three points but allowing a player like Jackson time and space on a counter attack can be very dangerous.
Singling out Kellyn Acosta – targeting the Homegrown wingback
In their most recent home loss to Columbus, FC Dallas were exposed on the wings, most notably on the left where Dominic Oduro torched Zach Loyd. On the right, FC Dallas Homegrown player Kellyn Acosta also looked vulnerable. His distribution out of the back was poor; with the 18-year-old trying to play one-touch passes too often.
Columbus clearly targeted Acosta, with players such as Federico Higuain running at the defender whenever possible. A tactic that I would like to see on Saturday night is a constant switching of the Fire wide players so that Acosta is never comfortable.
If Fire wingers Nyarko, Duka, Alex and Co. can get into 1v1 or 2v1 situations with Acosta, it could pay dividends for the Men in Red.
Prediction: The Fire won't play as open as last weekend but score early and late. 2-0 Fire with goals from Magee and Alex
As Chris Rolfe himself pointed out to Anthony Zilis recently, 2013 has been his worst year statistically with just four goals and one assist over 28 games this season. Still, teammates have backed him, with his contribution as a midfield sub in last Saturday's 2-2 draw specifically sticking out.
The mention of this being a poor statistical season combined with Mike Magee calling Rolfe a "great finisher" had me go back and nerd out on his body of work over the years. With 48 goals, Rolfe continues to be the club's second all-time scoring leader behind Ante Razov at 76.
The fact that Rolfe has now equaled the number of seasons Razov played made their shots to goal percentage an interesting and worthy comparison.
See the tables below...
|Ante Razov
|Goals/Shots %
|Goals/SOG %
|Chris Rolfe
|Goals/Shots %
|Goals/SOG %
Some Takeaways...
- Despite playing 18 matches more, Razov took 251 more shots and 153 more shots on goal than Rolfe. That might have to do with the fact that...
- Rolfe has played a significant amount of his Fire career out on the wing -and-
- Razov was arguably surrounded by a stronger cast of attacking players (the league never had more than 12 teams when he was in Chicago) -and-
- Ante just shot a heck of a lot more than Chris
- To Magee's point, Rolfe is a stronger finisher over the course of his Fire career. Only once did Razov go above 15% conversion on his goals/shot ratio while Rolfe did it three times. Between 2006-08, the current Fire attacker also went above 31% on his Goals/SOG ratio and has never dipped below 20% in his career.
- While there isn't much difference in the pair's career goals/shots ratio (less than one percentage point), Rolfe's Goals/SOG ratio is noticeably higher, coming in at just over 30%.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Two cannons and their carriages from the USS Maine were removed by crane Tuesday from Fort Allen Park in Portland.
The park along the Eastern Promenade is actually going to undergo a rehabilitation project.
A handicap accessible overlook to Casco Bay will be added -- pedestrian and vehicular traffic will be separated -- and there will be more tree-lined walkways in the area.
The work is expected to be done by next October.
The cannons will be kept in storage until enough money is raised to restore each one.

And as for the install itself? Well, for me it took an hour and ten minutes (50 minutes for disc 1 and 20 minutes for disc 2). And I'm not the only one stunned by the long install. Japanese players are complaining about it as well. Those PS3 install times don't seem so bad now, do they?
Dragon Quest X was released on August 2, 2012 for the Nintendo Wii in Japan. Stay tuned to Kotaku East for our import preview late next week.

BLUE HILL, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Firefighters are exposed to dangerous levels of cancer-causing chemicals that are created when commercial flame retardants burn. But just where are these toxic chemicals coming from?
Dr. Susan Shaw says she knew firefighters have a high risk of cancer, but what she didn't know was why?
"What we are trying to do here is connect the dots what are the chemicals during a fire that the firefighters are inhaling, ingesting, getting on their skin, taking into their bodies, that may be responsible for these high rates of cancer," said Shaw.
Shaw and a team of scientists took the blood of 12 firefighters in San Francisco right after a fire event. The results, she says, were striking.
"We found very high levels of the flame retardants that are in our furniture, our carpets, our television sets, and most people think that flame retardants in these products are a good thing," said Shaw.
But Shaw says otherwise, saying that when the flame retardant burns it creates dioxins and furans. These toxic chemicals were found in the blood of some of the fire fighters, making them at risk for cancer.
"We also found high levels of these flame retardants themselves the PBDE's which are polybrominated diphenyl ethers," said Shaw.
Even after the job is done, the toxic chemicals can even be found in smoke and dust that lingers on a firefighters gear.
"We continually clean our gear particularly after a fire event but they're disallowed in the living quarters of the station we don't wear them we provide our firefighters with other clothing or other warm weather gear and coats in the likes that they don't have to wear their turn-out gear outside of a fire at all," said Bangor Fire Chief Scott Lucas.
Dr. Shaw says the next step is to go to congress.
"Our federal law does not protect americans from exposure to these chemicals and other toxic chemicals because we have a very weak federal law so some of us are trying to work with the senate and pass the safe chemicals act for example, we are trying to get more regulation of toxic chemicals in our lives," said Shaw.
"I think theres plenty of evidence that shows that it's not good for firefighters or the general public so I would have to say I would be in favor of anything that improves firefighters safety," said Lucas.
And decrease the risk of this fatal disease

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The year of 1985 began as 1984 ended....with news about the Wilberg Mine disaster.
A preliminary union investigation into the fire, which took place in December and killed over two dozen people, revealed that contributing causes to the disaster included a two-entry system, an inoperative belt warning system, a telephone system that didn't operate correctly and two blocked escape routes (caused by cave-ins which happened a few days before the actual fire).
At almost the same time the report was being made public, the company was sealing the mine. Late in the month and into February MSHA held hearings on the accident in the local area and by the end of the month had delayed re-entry into the mine indefinitely. But by March teams were back in the mine, reclaiming it. They were placing seals in several places to keep the smoldering fire from erupting again. In April MSHA released its findings concerning the testimony given two months earlier. The agency said that the testimony provided very little clarity into what caused the fire, but did pinpoint where the fire began. The Sun Advocate also reported on April 10 that the Emery County Sheriff's Department was investigating if the fire could have been arson related. By mid-April recovery of the mine had almost come to a halt as heat and gas started to become a problem. Up until that time teams had been able to make good headway, but that came to a snail slow advance.
Throughout the year the teams working in the mine would advance then setbacks would put them on the slow track again, as they strove to make headway to recover the bodies of those who lost their lives. After starts and stops for months by late October the crews were only 200 feet from where the bodies of those who died lay. In November, 25 bodies were recovered and on Dec. 16 the last two deceased miners remains were taken out of the mine.
The College of Eastern Utah announced in late April that they would be asking Price if they could acquire the old Carbon Hospital from the city. The college wanted the building to use for office space and for some instructional space as well. They also said at the time the parking around the building would be of great use, because the new athletic center being built on the east end of campus was taking away a large piece of parking from the school.
In early May the Price City Council voted to give the hospital to the college. The Carbon County Commission also agreed to the plan. The building would be remodeled in the early 1990s to become the Computer-Business Building. It is now known as the Western Instructional Building.
In June a new loadout constructed at the Wildcat siding of the Utah Railway southwest of Helper began operation. The first trains began to be filled with coal from the Tower Resource Mine in Deadman Canyon. The loading facility was built to supply coal to the at the time new Intermountain Power Project near Delta, with plans to supply 10 million tons of coal in the 15 years following 1985. Later that summer another loadout, for the Skyline Mine, that is located at the bottom of Eccles Canyon, started loading trains for the same power station.
In July a statewide power outage made no exception for the local area. The outage happened at the end of the July 4 holiday weekend. The outage in the local area lasted about five hours. The outage caused few problems except in traffic, where many people failed to treat powerless traffic lights as four ways stops as they were supposed to.
The summer in Price brought a spate of vandalism to city property. Damage to facilities at city parks and smashing windows at a city greenhouse just added to other things that had been going on for some time. Most disturbing was vandalism in the Price City Cemetery. Porcelain photos on gravestones (over two dozen of them) were damaged or broken by sticks, rocks and even pellet guns.
Mid-July also brought on some non-human caused destruction at the Carbon County Airport. A wind storm that came up on the night of July 14 wrecked hangers at the airport, even pulling some supports concrete out of the ground. The 70 mph plus winds also damaged a couple of airplanes that were tied down on the tarmac as well.
An oil well fire injured one man critically when it erupted in early August at the Grassy Trail oil field a few miles southwest of Sunnyside Junction. The fire started during a work over of the well (to increase production at an existing well). At the time no official cause for the fire was listed, but the destruction to the rig and nearby support vehicles was extensive, with some a total loss. At the time OSHA was investigating the fire.
Late September brought the dedication of the new athletic center at on the CEU campus. The effort culminated a 20 year effort to get the state to fund such a facility, and since State Sen. Omar Bunnell and State Rep. Mike Dmitrich were so fundamental in getting the money for the facility, the new name for the building became the Bunnell-Dmitrich Athletic Center.
A balloon among many launched from Durrant School with letters aboard asking to finders to report back to the school where they were found, brought fast reaction in October. The balloon that Jenny Hakin, who was eight at the time, had launched was found by a family of Wisconsin farmers only two days after it left the Carbon County areas. It was estimated that the balloon had traveled nearly 1,400 miles in 12-16 hours. The Wisconsin family found it in a tree, where it had been for a couple of days, but they just hadn't gotten around to pulling it down. It apparently had arrived on Thursday, the day after the launch.

Sounds great and easy to operate
My girlfriend surprised me this Christmas with the Model 10, and now we're both equally amazed and surprised by it. The cabinetry is beautiful I find myself glimpsing over at it often and the features are simple to use all accessible with the convenience of a remote.
Out of the box the sound has been rich and filling in my 12x13' room, sounds even better after a few hours!!! I know now that I am not glimpsing over its beauty alone but over the sound emitting from this compact little gem.

I first wrote about crochetdermist Shauna Richardson last year as one of my weekly profiles of a crochet artist. By now most crocheters have heard of her thanks to her terrific Lionheart project.
I received a lovely email from Abi of Abinocoe. She got the opportunity to see Shauna's crochet lions in person and was kind enough to share some of her photos with me and my readers:
The artist, Shauna Richardson, is shown in the bottom corner of the picture at the top of this post.
One thing these photos don't show is the lions' ferocious teeth. Take a look at the photos by Brian Negus on Flickr to see that!

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Two Canisius College students showcased their film work on the demise of the east side of Buffalo and faith based efforts to revive it.
Digital Media Arts Majors Erik Taheri and Rich Lunghino produced the documentary, "East Side: A Community of Hope," which was shown at the Montante Cultural Center on campus Tuesday night.
The inspiration for the film came from Taheri's own lifelong devotion to helping those less fortunate who live on the East Side of Buffalo, and a summer 2012 immersion trip to the East Side.

North country school superintendents are happy to see positive numbers on 2013-14 state aid projections approved by the state Senate Tuesday night, but they arent releasing a sigh of relief yet.
After the millions lost through cuts to state aid since 2008 used to offset the states deficit, many superintendents say they are still digging deep to balance their budgets.
The amounts that were designated for our districts were better than predicted, said Jefferson-Lewis Board or Cooperative Educational Services Jack J. Boak Jr. The gap elimination adjustment really hurts our districts, so the restoration is helpful. However, we are sill not equal with the level of aid we received back in 2008. Our districts have given back to the state $80 million in GEA over the last few years.
The adjustment is a cut made to state aid to offset the states deficit.
Mr. Boak thanked state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Huevelton, Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, and Assemblyman Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River, for representing the needs of upstate New York schools.
General Brown Central School District Business Manager Lisa K. Smith said the unofficial numbers mean an increase of about $300,000 for the district, which is facing a $1.8 million deficit.
We certainly didnt get what we need, she said. We certainly are thankful for everything we got. We wish we had extra revenue to close the gap.
Mrs. Smith said the increase in state aid was mostly due to the restoration of some of the districts gap adjustment.
Every little bit helps, she said.
Watertown City School District is slated to receive about $34.2 million in state aid, a 5.2 percent increase from last year. Additionally, about $2.5 million was taken away through GEA, but the district was restored more than $1 million.
However, Terry N. Fralick said it is not enough to keep the districts fund balance from being diminished by the 2014-15 school year.
Were still looking at the depletion of our fund balance and cutting our programs and staff in the next few years, he said. The major issues are still there.
At Tuesdays Board of Education meeting, Mr. Fralick predicted the district might need to make $1 million in program and staff cuts to keep the school doors open.
Ogdensburg City School officials are also worried about money despite receiving a $478,602 increase over last years allotment.
It still leaves us with a $550,000 shortfall, Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey said. I cant say Im overjoyed with what the Legislature has done for us.
Mr. Vernsey sad he is disappointed that more wasnt done to drive aid money to poor, upstate districts.
Like Watertown, Ogdensburg is planning on digging into its fund balance to close the budget gap this year.
Were going to run out of money, and its going to happen next year or the year after, Mr. Vernsey said. I was hoping to get much better news.
Potsdam Central School District will be receiving $379,000 more than the governors original proposal earlier this year to have an overall aid increase of $424,080.
This additional aid will be helpful in restoring some of the staff and programs we had targeted for cuts in 2013-14 and I appreciate the work of our legislators in helping to obtain this needed support,said Superintendent Patrick H. Brady in an email. He also credits school advocates and parents for the GEA restoration.
But we have lost millions of dollars over these past four years, and until the state is willing to abolish the entire GEA, schools like Potsdam will continue to face being on the brink of insolvency.
Without getting rid of the GEA and giving schools mandate relief, he said, upstate schools simply cannot give their students the same quality of education as downstate school with more money can.
Alexandria Central Superintendent Robert B. Wagoner Jr. was happy to get any additional money he could. However, the district has also lost roughly $2.2 million over the past four years through the GEA, he said.
His district is set to lose another $448,000 in GEA in the 2013-14 fiscal year.
Thousand Islands Superintendent Frank C. House said the district appreciates the efforts of state representatives to set aside more money for public education but echoed Mr. Wagoners opinion regarding the GEA.
Theyve got to make us whole by getting rid of the GEA, Mr. House said.
Both Mr. House and Mr. Wagoner commented that the GEA is killing their districts.
Mr. House said the additional school aid will help Thousand Islands replenish its fund balance. Over the past four years, fund balance has been slowly depleted to buy down the tax levy.
Lyme Central School District Superintendent Karen M. Donahue said the district is grateful that it is getting a bit more state aid.
However, she agreed the GEA, state tax cap and the 2009 school foundation aid freeze have been forced many school districts to dip into their savings.
In reality, Mrs. Donahue said, the additional school aid is merely helping districts to close a hole created by the GEA. Lyme has lost roughly $1.4 million in GEA over the past four years, she said.
Not all superintendents complained about the state aid, however.
LaFargeville Superintendent Susan L. Whitney also voiced similar concerns regarding the GEA but said the additional $87,000 will nonetheless help the district keep its 2013-14 levy increase at a reasonable level.
Its certainly better than what we were initially told we would get, said. Compared to where we were yesterday, were getting closer to where we need to be.
When Colton-Pierrepont Central School Superintendent Joseph A. Kardash built his budget using the governors figures, he was left with a budget gap of $85,000. And while the increases in aid announced Tuesday night may not have closed the budget gap for most districts, the increase in aid his district saw was enough to do just that.
As of the last budget update, if Colton-Pierrepont levied taxes at our calculated cap of 4.1%, we still had an $85,000 gap to fill, he said. The latest aid run added approximately $95,000 to the projections. That closed the gap and allowed a reduction in proposed levy.
Mr. Kardash said it is now his districts plans to present a $9,840,000 budget to the voters that comes in not at, but below the tax cap with a 3.98 percent tax levy increase.
The school aid projections were also welcomed at both Gouverneur Central and Clifton-Fine Central school districts,
Gouverneur is estimated to receive a 2.53 percent increase over last years aid of $22,559,324. The governors projection for the district was $23,064,463. The estimated final figure for the coming school year is $23,129,348.
Its almost $65,000 more, Gouverneur Business Manager Carol L. LaSala said. Its better than what we expected, so were very happy.
At Clifton-Fine, state aid is estimated to go from $4,534,424 to $4,781,701.
Thats good news, board President Michelle L. Durham said.
At Edwards-Knox Central, the district expects to receive an estimated $60,000 more than earlier projected. Overall, state aid is slated to increase from this years $9,513,044 to $9,812,815 in next years budget, resulting in a $299,771 hike.
As with any increase we are happy to know that we will not be forced to make difficult decisions and also that we wont have to spend as much of our fund balance, Superintendent Suzanne L. Kelly said in an email.
Hermon-DeKalb Superintendent Ann M. Adams said it appears the district will be receiving $139,268 more in state aid than originally proposed by the governor. The extra funds will allow the board to review cuts they planned to make.

My summer experience at HMSC was one of the most rewarding of my science career. I worked with John Chapman and Brett Dumbauld studying the mud shrimp Upogebia pugettensis in Pacific Northwest estuaries. U. pugettensis is extremely important to many estuarine biological and chemical processes. They are experiencing severe population declines, coinciding with heavy infestations of an introduced isopod parasite. Little was known about these species, so my research involved going onto the mudflats at low tide (sometimes at 5 in the morning) and collecting shrimp for measurements. Eventually over 1700 shrimp from 21 different sites were collected and measured! We found very interesting trends, including that host size is the determinant factor in vulnerability to infestation (bigger hosts are more infested), and female shrimp seem to grow into vulnerable sizes faster than males. I had the opportunity to present this research at the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) conference in September, and I will also be presenting at the American Society for Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) conference in February.
Not only was this internship a great scientific opportunity in which I gained a number of new research skills, but over the ten weeks I met some amazing people, made many new friends and did some incredible things, such as an awesome trip to Mt. Rainier. Overall, I would say this experience was one of the best in my life, and I have many memories, experiences, and skills I will remember forever.

This article discusses non-FDA approved uses of simvastatin and pravastatinPresenter: J. N. Poynter
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This is a large retrospective case-control study investigating the association between HMG CoA reductase inhibitors and the risk of developing CRC. Statins are associated with a reduction in the risk of colorectal cancer based on this study. However, this is indeed a retrospective, non-randomized study with limited information on the dose and duration of statin use. Although promising, these data are still limited and need confirmation in prospective randomized trials. It is not recommended statins be used as a preventive for CRC at this time.

I am absolutely appalled with our fair city,
Halloween hadn't even begun when the Christmas decorations began to appear on streetlamps; within a week reindeer were spotted in the Peace Garden. Alas, our city is not alone; many large retail stores have been ambushing society with Christmas, months in advance, for years. A friend of mine feels so rushed, she begins her Christmas shopping within a few months of December 25.
When will the madness stop, and who on earth decided Christmas needs to begin in October? At the pace we're going it won't be long before Christmas preparations begin in January; good news for all of you so-called "rednecks," leaving your Christmas lights up all year round may not be considered tacky much longer.
Don't get me wrong, I am by no means against Christmas. I love the holiday for everything from the time spent with friends and family, right down to the gifts. But since when did Christmas gifts go from "the thought that counts" to "the amount, size, and/or amount of money spent counts." Has everybody forgotten what the true meaning of Christmas is? It is not how many gifts you receive or the size or the amount of money spent; it is not the amount of lights and decorations you put on your house or your tree; the true meaning of Christmas is love and togetherness.
By preparing for Christmas earlier and earlier every year, we are devaluing and degrading the importance and meaning of Christmas.
So I ask everyone, take some time out on Christmas Eve or Christmas or both, and think about the true meaning of Christmas; go to Christmas Mass or for those of you who don't "do" the whole church thing, take a minute to remember what Christmas was and is intended for.
Even the Whos down in Whoville remembered the true meaning of Christmas; why can't we?

Sam's Club enhances the shopping experience at its Shenandoah location as it unveils a fresh, new look this week that expands popular categories. In addition to offering new items, the club's layout has been modified to make shopping easier and faster by placing the most purchased products in more convenient locations. These changes bring the Sam's Club brand—Savings Made Simplesm—to life on both the interior and exterior of the facility. The company expects to remodel 150 facilities similarly this year.
"We listened to our members and expanded the departments that are most important to them, such as fresh foods, meat, baby care and the health and wellness area," said Chuck Coughlin, club manager. "This is one more way we can give our members superior value and an exceptional shopping experience. Our new layout makes shopping simple."
Simple Changes
The Shenandoah Sam's Club is carrying a wider selection of baby food and diapers for newborns in addition to sizes larger. The baby area is now next to the health and wellness department, which offers more over the counter medicines and health and beauty aids.
The grocery section has an expanded assortment of produce that includes convenient sliced fruits, and more meats such as ground turkey. Some of the finest artisan cheese products from England, France, Ireland, Italy and Spain will be available in the new fresh department as well.
Jewelry will be located near apparel and books to accommodate member requests to shop these three categories together, as will movies and music move to the electronics department.
Even with all the changes, Sam's Club still guarantees 100 percent member satisfaction and exceptional quality at a superior value. A 2009 study found Sam's Club saves members, on average, 30.4 percent on some of the most frequently purchased product categories versus grocery and specialty retailers.*
For Plus Members, shoppers can enter the Club earlier and take advantage of extended shopping hours, starting at 7 a.m.

Detailed Description:
The World Health Organization estimates approximately 10% of couples experience some sort of infertility problem.
In humans, puberty is the process through which we develop reproductive capacity. Disorders of puberty have provided insight into the biology of reproduction and genetic technologies have enabled us to deepen understanding in this field. The focus of this study is to better understand the genetic control of puberty and human reproduction.
Increasing understanding of the molecular basis (genes) of inherited reproductive disorders may enable investigators to:
- improve diagnostic testing and treatments for these problems
- develop new diagnostic tests and therapies for patients
- enhance counseling for patients and families with reproductive disorders

A town of Watertown man was sentenced Tuesday in Jefferson County Court to five years probation for stealing an all-terrain vehicle from a town of Lorraine residence.
Robert M. Reczko, 24, whose last known address was 17481 Route 11, Lot 42, also was sentenced to an unspecified amount of time served at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building for Feb. 6 guilty pleas to fourth-degree grand larceny as a result of one incident and third-degree attempted burglary stemming from a second incident.
He admitted that on June 5 he, along with a teenager, stole an all-terrain vehicle from the lawn of the Patrick Bates residence on County Route 189 in the town of Lorraine. He also admitted that on Oct. 19, again with the teen, he tried to enter a vacant building on Route 11 in the town of Watertown with the intent to steal scrap metal.
In other court activity:
Sean M. Spencer, 24, Liverpool, formerly of Carthage, was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service for a Jan. 23 guilty plea to fifth-degree attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance. He was accused in a grand jury indictment handed up in July with selling steroids within the county in late 2010 and early 2011. His probation supervision will be transferred to Onondaga County.
Barry A. King, 43, Watertown, was sentenced to time served at the PSB and restored to probation for an admission in October that he violated probation. He is serving five years probation imposed in October 2010 for a fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance conviction, having admitted he possessed cocaine with the intent to sell the drug in Watertown. He admitted violating probation by continuing to use cocaine, marijuana and alcohol while under supervision.
Michael S. Hill, 33, of 6892 Erie Canal Road, Lowville, pleaded guilty to petit larceny, admitting that on May 2 he stole merchandise from Kmart on Route 3 in the town of Watertown. He subsequently was sentenced to time served at the PSB.
Hardik J. Patel, 21, of 19325 Route 11, pleaded guilty to third-degree attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance. He admitted that he tried to possess more than an ounce of cocaine Sept. 13 in the town of Watertown. He is expected to be sentenced on June 11 to 30 days in the PSB and five years probation and be ordered to forfeit $4,096 in his possession at the time of his arrest.
In court activity Monday, Terrell A. Sweet, 23, Fort Drum, pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted robbery. Sentencing was set for June 14. He was accused in an indictment handed up in November, along with others, of taking part in a mugging of a man in June in the 600 block of Boyd Street. The victim, Paul E. LaDuke, suffered cuts, scrapes and a broken tooth and had $150 stolen from him, according to the indictment.
