GOUVERNEUR E.J. Noble Hospital has jumped a lot of hurdles to stay open but remains in a financial bind while it looks at controlling expenses, becoming more efficient and improving its bottom line.
We are continuing to look at all aspects of the hospital and make adjustments. Our plans are rather fluid at the moment, but they should be solidified in the not-too-distant future. I think the important message is were optimistic, Administrator Marlinda L. LaValley said. E.J. Noble is open for business. Virtually everything continues to be done here that was done before.
The hospital was already struggling financially when the state Department of Health shut down its laboratory for deficiencies Sept. 28. The closure forced the hospital to curtail many of its essential services, including its emergency room, until the Health Department allowed a partial reopening of the lab under the supervision of Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown in October.
A management agreement with Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Potsdam, was finalized in March so E.J. Nobles most recent administration has been able to make decisions about a direction for the hospital only over the last few weeks.
One of the early moves was to prioritize the hospitals unpaid vendors so that those essential to operations would be worked with first, said Ms. LaValley, who had been vice president for administrative services at Canton-Potsdam Hospital. The hospital also wanted to pay down its debt with local vendors who have been E.J. Nobles support system.
These are the individuals upon whom we rely to keep our doors open, Ms. LaValley said. We did make a commitment to bring them up to date.
The hospital also promised to keep those vendors current on any future bills, she said. Kinney Drugs agreed to hold off on accepting money for its unpaid bills, and many of the other local merchants converted the debts owed them to contributions to the hospital.
We are grateful for their generosity, Ms. LaValley said. Some of them were shocked because they thought they would never be paid.
The survival of the hospital would not have been possible without the Health Department, board President Michael J. Burgess said. The department has provided the hospital with a loan to help it restructure and may provide grant funding in the future.
I think there were some misconceptions about the role of the Department of Health, Mr. Burgess said. Without the Department of Health, we wouldnt be here right now. They have been incredibly supportive.
The departments closure of the laboratory was necessary because of quality issues that the hospital is working to resolve, he said.
The hospitals blood bank remains closed, meaning that E.J. Noble cannot do most surgeries or have a maternity ward, but the administration is not pressing that issue with the state, Ms. LaValley said. Instead, it is focusing on establishing processes that show it can handle routine tests with speed and accuracy. Even with lab restrictions, most tests can be handled either on site or through an external lab, so that treatment is seamless for most patients, she said.
The state has approved E.J. Nobles initial application to become a critical access hospital. Under that designation, the hospital would reduce its bed count from 37 to no more than 25 and have most patients stay no longer than four days, but it would gain through increased Medicare reimbursements.
The application has been filed with the federal government, which has 60 days to respond. If it is approved, the state would move on to its next step.
Community Health Center of the North Country, under the umbrella of Cerebral Palsy Association of the North Country, has applied for permission to open a primary care clinic in the hospital under which E.J. Noble could wrap some of its services. Community Health Center of the North Country enjoys higher reimbursement rates, and a strong primary care clinic could help stabilize services, Ms. LaValley said.
The emergency room remains a critical part of the plan, along with continued operation of Kinney Nursing Home under the oversight of United Helpers.
Meanwhile, many of the roughly 70 workers who lost their jobs when the hospitals lab was shut down have not returned to work. Four have been called back recently, but the hospital also laid off one full-time and two part-time employees because of shifts in services, Ms. LaValley said.
The hospital has requested permission to close its health clinics in Harrisville and Russell, but plans to keep others open in Edwards, DeKalb and Antwerp.
A physicians assistant is in the works to reopen the DeKalb clinic. The hospital also is close to agreement for a full-time womens health nurse practitioner who could provide basic ob/gyn care.
A physicians office that had been at Pine Grove housing complex in Gouverneur will move to the hospital next week, Ms. LaValley said.

The end of the year always calls for a healthy dose of reflection, a task that's not as grim as it sounds. Au contraire, dear readers, after you take stock of what occurred during the previous twelve months, you can put it all to bed and set a brilliant new agenda. Hooray! And while this wonderful process may be applied to a smorgasbord of social/professional/personal arenas-most of which we wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole-at Who What Wear, we're focusing our retrospective on what we know best: fashion, of course! With that in mind, we'd like to take this moment to mull over some of the year's top trends, key looks, and the stellar stylesetters who made the year a thrilling ride! From custom-made tuxedo suits to neon pink gowns to tremendous street-style looks, 2010 has been rife with killer outfits that truly inspire. Accordingly, we only found it fitting to gather together the leading ladies who donned such winning ensembles and pay rightful homage to their unparalleled sartorial sensibilities. Thus, without further ado, we're pleased to present 2010's Best Dressed winners and hope you delight in this lovely trip down memory lane!
Best Import: Cleménce Poésy
Here at Who What Wear, we always love an import with a certain je ne sais quoi, and Cleménce Poésy is truly a parfait example of said femme. Her effortlessly cool style has such French girl panache, and we know we can always count on the Gallic starlet for a flawless example of how to step out in a circle skirt-a silhouette she is able to parlay with enviably posh simplicity for both daytime and red-carpet worthy looks. Additionally, we could never forget that this year saw Poésy famously join Blake Lively and Leighton Meester as a guest star on Gossip Girl, aka The Greatest Show on Television. If that theatrical turn was any indication of what's to come from this Parisian import, we look forward to the coming year!
MVP: Nicole Richie
Everyone knows that Nicole Richie-who is an author/designer/actress/newlywed extraordinaire-certainly has a way with clothes. Arguably the master creator of the kimono dress trend, Nicole Richie can always be counted upon for her glamorous vintage-inspired sensibility, which she also seamlessly translates into her Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960 lines. Additionally, who could forget that 2010 saw her A) rock the beauty world with a stellar platinum bob and B) become Who What Wear's first ever celebrity Guest Editor, aptly selecting fall items we couldn't live without!
Fashion-Industry Favorite: Georgia Jagger
Georgia Jagger is clearly having a moment-in fact, her moment's been going on for quite some time! The sexy, gap-toothed blonde and last year's recipient of the British Fashion Awards Model of the Year award spent 2010 lending her curvy looks to a bevy of high-profile editorials, graced the covers of countless top mastheads like Harper's Bazaar and Australian Vogue, and caught the eye of Karl. Yes, that's right: the va-va-voom, Bardot lookalike is currently the face of Chanel's Resort 11 campaign after being handpicked by Lagerfeld for her ability to represent the modern girl. As if all that wasn't enough, Jagger's top-notch ensembles simultaneously flaunt her drool-worthy figure while paying homage to her rock-royalty background (think: faux furs, leopard accents, and signature sultry red lips). No wonder we're still flipping for her one-of-kind panache!
Reader's Choice: Alexa Chung
Alexa Chung truly has her style profile nailed. The hip-Brit's ever-quirky mix of au courant schoolgirl staples and key pieces from cult labels like Isabel Marant, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Russell & Bromley consistently makes her a reader favorite and one to watch. This year saw the release of her Alexa Chung for Madewell line, which was filled with funky sketchbook tees, prim dresses, and across-the-pond worthy coats-all of which sold out in a blink of an eye. And let's not forget her daring and prescient selection of 3.1 Phillip Lim's tuxedo jacket and suspender trousers to attend the Met Gala early this year! Whether she's pairing a cozy sweater with leather shorts or mixing vintage in with some covetable Chanel clogs, this leggy fashion lover is truly beloved by all for her singular, off-beat flair.
Most Fashionable Fixture: Sienna Miller
Sienna Miller always wins us over with her bohemian-chic charisma-we know we can count on her to routinely inspire our music-fest best-yet, this year she's subtly upgraded her personal aesthetic. Still playing up her strengths with hippie-esque accents such as woven jewelry or a brightly colored hobo sac, the Twenty8Twelve designer has also started gravitating toward more polished pieces like fitted blazers and structured ladylike bags. Accordingly, since she has deftly displayed a knack for evolving while still staying true to the style profile from whence she came, we voted her most fashionable fixture and look to her as one of the year's icons, prepared to stand the test of time.
Best Fashion Pro: Rachel Zoe
As a top tier, in-demand stylist, we can always count on Zoe to create a slew of killer red-carpet ensembles for her celebrity clientele. But this behind-the-scenes maven and reality TV star clearly has her own look down to an RZ. Whether she's fearlessly dictating the trends in a ladylike maxi dress, stepping out in a signature fur, or piling on the vintage (Chanel) baubles, Zoe always looks amahzing!
Risktaker Extraordinaire: Rihanna
Holding fast to her title for a second year in a row, Rihanna never fails to excite us with her dramatic sartorial flair. While the flame-haired songstress has turned the volume down on her more aggressive, tough-girl looks as of late-making room for a chorus of ladylike and chic layered ensembles-she continues to step out in envelope-pushing style, like the high-contrast zigzag trousers and Balenciaga flats outfit we spotted her in last spring. Additionally, we admire the fact that Rihanna never shies away from radical beauty looks, and her bravery encourages us to take more risks and have fun with fashion!
Best All-Around Style: Kate Bosworth
Fact: Kate Bosworth never looks bad. At this point we can safely say she has reached fashion icon status. Such compliments are in part due to Cher Coulter, her A-list stylist, to whom she presented the Stylist of the Year award just a few weeks ago, but Bosworth knows a trick or two too. Whether she's running around town in Celine flats or making a red-carpet statement in a fabulous frock from an emerging designer, Bosworth's sartorial choices are always interesting, keenly on-trend, and have you, dear readers, endlessly celebrating her personal style. And if that wasn't in enough, this year saw her teaming up with the aforementioned Coulter to launch JewelMint, a jewelry site composed of exclusive pieces designed by the dynamic duo. Just consider it another notch on this silver-screen star's belt!
Best High-Low Mix: Olivia Palermo
It would be sartorial sacrilege if we did not include Miss Palermo in today's roundup! The master of high-street-meets-designer dressing is consistently a reader favorite, and often provides further outfit intrigue by bringing lesser-known brands into the limelight. From editor-worthy ensembles marked by metallic accents or a belted silhouette to polished off-duty wear punctuated by Stubbs & Wootton flats, this brunette beauty always balances timeless looks with cutting-edge trends. Plus, we can't help but admire the accessibility of Palermo's impeccable wardrobe and her trendsetting crossover to the dark side as this year saw her eschew her long, golden locks and adopt a chestnut, shoulder-skimming coif instead.
Most Muse-Worthy: Diane Krueger
Whenever we need inspiration for a fancy-dressing affair, we know we can turn to the Kruger-meister. The perennially-elegant half of one of our favorite stylish couples, the stunning star always declares her red-carpet presence with lust-worthy dresses that make us wish for a peek inside her assumed-to-be-immaculate closet! Whether she's making a striking statement in a neon pink Jason Wu gown at the 63rd Annual Cannes Film Festival (we love a Wu-ger collaboration!) or looking enviably chic in a fancy frock and lace-up booties, Krueger's impeccable taste routinely entices us to get gussied up.-Liza Kaplan

Dry Hill Ski Areas snow cannons are running full bore this week, pumping massive quantities of powder onto the slopes in an effort to see the season through to its spring conclusion.
Timothy L. McAtee, the mini-resorts owner, is spending thousands of dollars a day to get the base layer just right while the cold weather and low humidity provide ideal conditions for snow making.
Mr. McAtee said he would prefer 5 inches of man-made snow over 2 feet of natural snow because artificial snow is better for the base.
That calculation doesnt account for the sentimental effect the real stuff has on area residents, though.
Mr. McAtee said it is hard for people to comprehend that even when the rest of Jefferson County is without snow, if the temperature is right, Dry Hill is covered.
It is a quirk in logic that cost the facility a pretty penny last year when it incurred the same expenses from artificial snow making but lost revenue because of the lack of natural snow to whet appetites for wintry sports.
The area on County Route 67 in the town of Watertown offers skiing, snowboarding and tubing and expects to be open through March 15.
Mr. McAtee said snowboarding was the most popular offering a few years ago, until changes in technology brought about a resurgence of interest in skiing. Now there are more people taking ski lessons than ever before.
And then theres tubing: a good remedy for cabin fever requiring almost no skill or equipment.
We provide the tube, the lift and the hill, Mr. McAtee said.
According to Mr. McAtee, there are so many ways to find out if the area is open, such as checking out the website or simply driving by the place, that its easy enough to tell if theres snow on the ground and whether a trip is in order.
There arent too many communities with a ski area so close, he said.
Mr. McAtee said the area had a decent Christmas, but the recent warm weather put a damper on the season. The area had to close Sunday because the winds were too high to run the ski lifts.
By keeping the snow cannons running all week, Mr. McAtee said, he hopes to salvage the season by laying down a good base layer that will make it through at least two more thaws before residents start to turn their minds to spring sports.
Skiing came to the site years ago when a farmer hauled skiers up the hill behind his tractor. In the 1950s, Hall Ski-Lift Co., Watertown, built the lifts that now ferry riders to the top of the run.
The name itself has an altogether different genesis. According to Mr. McAtee, during prohibition, a liquor distillery was located on the hill until it was destroyed by law enforcement officials, who then christened it Dry Hill.
The fact that Dry Hill overlooks Watertown makes it even more ironic, Mr. McAtee said.
He said he has contemplated changing the name but eventually decided against it. Its just too popular with customers.
Dry Hill is open from 5 to 10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, noon to 10 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Lift tickets are only $15 from 5 to 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
A $2 discount on lift tickets is available for active-duty military members and their families. For more information, go to skidryhill.com.

There are a lot of people in eastern Utah that aren't aware of it, but last week Judge Dale Kimball flipped all the planning and work that has been done on Richfield Resource Management Plans (RMP) between users and the Bureau of Land Management in Utah upside down.
Actually it's worse than that. He didn't only throw the baby out with the bath water, but he tore a hole in the side of the house and pulled out the entire tub too.
In a ruling that will reverberate into Carbon and Emery Counties very soon, he said that the Richfield RMP plan was flawed because the BLM didn't do enough study, enough diligence or enough to control motorized use in the area as it worked out the plan with locals a number of years ago.
Next up for those opposing all the RMP's that have been done in Utah is probably the one done out of the Price BLM office.
Environmentalists were delighted by the ruling. The Southern Utah Wilderness Associations website stated "It's a great day for Utah's redrock wilderness!"
They had joined with other plaintiffs (including the Sierra Club, the Grand Canyon Trust, the National Parks Conservation Association, the Wilderness Society, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Utah Rivers Council, Great Old Broads for Wilderness, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Rocky Mountain Wild) in suing the BLM for the plan right after it was established in 2008. Now they have an answer and are happy.
But let's see here...it's not the final answer.
Where the BLM will go from here no one knows for sure, but you can bet that the other RMP's in the state will be taken to task too.
The plans were developed during the administration of George W. Bush. Many think they were slanted toward development, motorized use and mineral extraction because of that political influence. Now, with an administration that is more sensitive to what SUWA and their friends want, the environmentalists feel that they are getting the upper hand.
But more worrisome to many groups than the RMPs is that President Obama will pull a Bill Clinton (the Escalante Staircase decree in 1990) style executive order just before he goes out of office in two years. Rumors are he could make Canyonlands National Park much bigger, create a San Rafael National Monument and plug other lands into other parks that will keep out all the other activities environmentalists want to eliminate from federal land.
SUWA runs ads nightly (usually a number of times) on all the upstate television stations. They talk about Utah wilderness, what our heritage is and should be and they show photos of happy families wading in streams, riding horses and examining rock faces apparently deep in the wilderness. It's a nice ad, a convincing one. It's aimed particularly at those from urban areas whose livelihood does not depend on these lands. For most of them it is a "visit the place once in awhile" kind of deal. It is not where they live.
If one reads the comment boards when legal actions like this are reported, it seems everyone in cities are convinced SUWA is correct. Some call ATV riders mindless people and worse. Some talk about the energy industry like they have no need for that industry themselves. Others want the lands protected at all costs because it is the right thing to do.
I wonder how they would feel if people in rural Utah were proposing laws that would eliminate their jobs? I wonder how they would feel if someone were threatening their industries and their recreation?
I am all for preservation up to a point. I think ATV riders (which I am) should stay on designated trails and be cognizant of others that use the land (such as hikers and bicyclists). I want oil and gas companies to be responsible for what they do and to keep their impact at a minimum. I want my grandchildren to see the beautiful places that exist in Utah and not have them spoiled.
Protection is important; but it must be mitigated with use as well.
This battle will apparently never be over. Depending on the political climate environmentalists will win during one time period, land use advocates will win during another.
For those of you that are used to neat tidy conclusions to things you will continue to be disappointed. It appears it will go on forever and ever.
Meanwhile our industries, our recreation and our way of life will be slowly strangled out of us as the courts go about their merry way of disregarding plans that took years to put together through the cooperation of many agencies and private citizens.
Prepare for a very long battle.

Prism Electric believes in the benefits of pre-fabrication to the extent we have our own, pre-fabrication dedicated, 27,000 SF material logistic facility. We have seen firsthand the pre-fabrication process reducing project schedules and even reducing costs. By identifying repeating elements of our construction projects, our teams can increase productivity and reduce on-site lay down space requirements.
Our teams create 3D shop drawings and use those to identify repeating electrical elements like in-wall boxes, conduit assemblies, trapeze supports, underground duct banks and more. These elements are created in our pre-fabrication facility, located at our company headquarters. By building these elements in our facility, we are best able to control the cleanliness of the environment, which is critical for healthcare, mission critical and many other project types.
The benefits of pre-fabrication are well documented. The 2011 McGraw Hill Smart Market report provided data illustrating real process improvements made by project teams using prefabrication on their projects:
Prism Electric has capabilities to pre-assemble electric rooms, in-wall boxes (with support, ring, and connector), in-wall boxes with wiring whips, in-wall boxes with conduit stub-ups, overhead HCF whip home runs, lighting whips, lighting fixtures, conduit racks, conduit supports, welded equipment supports, trapeze supports, and underground duct banks to name our most common pre-fabricated efforts. The process benefits a wide range of project types including healthcare, mission critical, hospitality, office, retail, municipal and more.
Prism Electric's team understands the efficiencies and benefits of pre-fabrication.

Perchè openjdk è alla versione 7u9 e oracle jdk è alla 7u11 ?
O almeno, icedtea (per compilare openjdk) è rimasta alla 2.3.3 che compila la u9 se non erro
Moderatore: Staff

Today, Oracle announced that they are adjusting their Java roadmap to accelerate security work in upcoming releases. In particular, many non-security fixes previously scheduled for 7u10 are being re-targeted to 7u12. Oracle will be talking about Java security at JavaOne, if you're there please try and attend, CON12803 - Making the Future Secure with Java.
This means we will not be creating a 7u10 stabilization forest as previously noted, and instead keeping development going on jdk7u-dev. We will create a branch for 7u12 when it's ready for stabilization. As always with CPUs, we plan to bulk integrate the changes from the October and February CPUs (7u9 and 7u11, respectively) when released. We don't expect Oracle JDK 7u10 to contain new changesets applicable to OpenJDK 7u10 source code repositories. Instead, we expect the bulk of work on Oracle JDK 7u10 to be focused on changes to code that is not part of OpenJDK 7u Project.

Optional: If you want a Java browser-plugin you must install icedtea-web (OpenJDK itself does not contain such a plugin).

Overall positive impact of mobility of Bulgarian and Romanian workers on EU economy Objavljeno: 11/11/2011, Zadnja sprememba: 10/06/2014
- Avtor:
- European Commission.
A new European Commission report highlights the overall positive role that mobile workers from Bulgaria and Romania (EU-2) have played in receiving countries' economies.
These workers have contributed to the skills mix as well as filling vacancies in sectors and jobs with labour shortages such as in construction and the domestic and food services sectors. Estimates also show a positive impact of the free movement of Romanian and Bulgarian workers on the EU's long-term GDP with an increase by about 0.3% for EU-27 (0.4% for eu-15).
Studies show too that there has been no significant impact on unemployment or wages of local workers in receiving countries: in the EU-15 studies show wages are on average only 0.28% lower they would have been without mobility of the EU-2.
The report also highlights that there is no evidence of a disproportionate use of benefits by intra-EU mobile EU citizens and that the impact of recent flows on national public finances is negligible or positive.
The main destination for movers form Bulgaria and Romania was to Italy and Spain and data suggest that, at the end of 2010, twice as many Bulgarians and Romanians (2.9 million) were residing in the EU-25 compared to 2006.
At the same time, in relative terms, EU-2 nationals resident in an EU-25 Member State only represent 0.6% of the total EU-25 population. The highest share is in Cyprus (4.1%), Spain (2.2%) and Italy (1.8%).
In addition, the EU-2 employment rate (63%) is close to that of the EU-25 (65%). However, since the economic downturn, recently arrived EU-2 nationals have found it more difficult to find a job: around 16% were out of work in 2010, compared to 9% in 2007.
What is clear is that recent EU-2 movers have played a very minor role in the labour market crisis which is a direct consequence of the financial and economic crisis, as well as structural labour market problems.
The Commission report will serve as the basis on which the Council will carry out a review of how the transitional arrangements on free movement of Bulgarian and Romanian workers have worked in practice.

Comments about Marmot Home Alone Bivy:
Used this in Southern Utah. Temps ranged down to 30 degrees - 80 degrees. This bivy is super lightweight and easy to set up. One night the winds were blowing about 20-25 MPH on top of the mesa and this thing took the beating and never threatened to let lose like some of my neighbors tents. Being a bivy you do need to leave a small flap open to let out condensation, so be prepared for that, otherwise a great product all around.

FORT DRUM A memorial ceremony on post Wednesday morning for the victims of 9/11 brought back tough memories for Peter J. Dougan, a member of the Fort Drum Directorate of Emergency Services.
He said he was getting ready for a job interview that 2001 morning, when news broke of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Needless to say, that job interview got cut short, Mr. Dougan said.
With his National Guard unit activated shortly after the attacks, he found himself in the middle of New York Citys recovery efforts for about two weeks, providing security and escorts.
It was just a lot of debris; a hard smell of burnt flesh, debris, Mr. Dougan said. Its kind of something thats not really pleasant to be around.
He admitted that he had mixed feelings when he learned he would be a part of Wednesdays ceremony, which took place in front of Clark Hall.
I really dont like to relive the things that we did for the two weeks that we were down there, Mr. Dougan said.
However, he said the event has made him thankful for the work of military service members. Mr. Dougan, who already was interested in law enforcement work when the terrorists attacked, said the events of that day affirmed his planned career choice.
The short ceremony included the laying of a wreath at a 9/11 memorial in front of the building and the ringing of bells representing the times the four hijacked planes crashed that day; the fourth went down in a field near Shanksville, Pa. Dozens of military and civilian police and emergency crews stood in formation Wednesday, as a large American flag was held up by the ladders of two Fort Drum Fire Department trucks.
Robert W. Tennies, a captain at the Fort Drum Fire Department and at the time a part-time worker at Guilfoyle Ambulance, was in New York City with a group of area volunteers who traveled to ground zero at the World Trade Center to help.
He spent a few days amid the wreckage, in a scene he described as like a war zone.
Looking back on the attack and its aftermath, he said the combined emergency response made him proud of the people who were there.
It just does your heart good to see that a country, and a fire service, and police, and EMS all came together for one goal, one task that day, and they worked side by side together, he said.
In addition to the leadership of the 10th Mountain Division, also in attendance at the ceremony was Lt. Gen. James L. Terry, former division commanding general, now commander of Third Army and the Army Service Component of U.S. Central Command.
Also at the memorial was Sgt. Glenn A. Follett, a New York Army National Guardsman who finished a march of more than 80 miles from Syracuse on Wednesday morning. Several of the top brass at the ceremony, including Gen. Terry and division Command Sgt. Maj. Rick Merritt, met with Sgt. Follett in front of the memorial after the ceremony.
Video from the ceremony can be seen at http://wdt.me/G5HdsW.
The posts ceremony was one of several during the day. Jefferson Community Colleges remembrance included a performance of The Star-Spangled Banner by Nellys Echo. At Thompson Park, soldiers of the divisions 1st Brigade Combat Team did a run on the parks stairs, climbing one step for each of the 2,996 victims.

Mission for Growth: enhancing business cooperation between Peru and the EU Publicerat den: 23/01/2013, Senaste uppdatering: 24/01/2013
Today Vice President Antonio Tajani travels to Peru accompanied by a large business delegation composed of 44 representatives of 37 European companies and industry associations from 10 EU Member States.
In total, these organisations and their member companies have a combined turnover of some € 320 billion, while the business associations alone represent 64 500 companies which generate almost two million jobs, either directly or indirectly.
This mission is part of the series of "Missions for Growth" to help European enterprises, in particular small and medium sized enterprises, to better profit from fast growing emerging international markets. The visit will reinforce partnerships to help industry and SMEs to fully exploit the potential for commercial relations between Peru and the EU.
During his two day visit to Peru, Vice President Tajani will meet with the President of the Republic OllantaHumala Tasso, the President of the Council of Ministers, Juan Federico Jimenez Mayor and several members of the Peruvian government, notably the Minister of Foreign Affairs Rafael RoncaglioloOrbegozo and the Minister of Production Gladys Triveño Chan Jan.
With his Peruvian counterparts, VP Tajani will sign Letters of Intent in the fields of SME development, industrial cooperation, raw materials, sustainable construction and tourism.
1. SME development
The aims are to improve the business environment, promote entrepreneurship, help Peruvian and European SMEs to grow and do business together and to better compete in the global economy. The Letter of Intent will improve the framework conditions for SMEs by reducing administrative burdens, increase access to finance, and improve markets by modernising the regulatory environment. Such cooperation will help to identify the main obstacles related to regulatory and administrative environment for SMEs, as well as finding appropriate solutions to overcome them. A regular high level dialogue will support this process, as is successfully being implemented with other countries, such as China or the US.
2. Industrial cooperation
The aim of this letter of intent is to promote and encourage direct cooperation between industrial sectors of mutual interest to the EU and Peru based on the bilateral cooperation programme 2007-13, in order to promote their growth and development and to reduce the gap between them.
3. Raw materials
A letter of intent to open policy dialogues on raw materials will be signed. The extractive industries of both sides play a key role in the supply of these materials. The competitiveness of these sectors is a crucial factor in reducing vulnerability of industry in both regions by making supply of these materials more secure.
4. Sustainable construction
A specific political agreement will be signed in the field of sustainable construction in order to deepen industrial cooperation with the aim of identifying priorities and developing mutual potential in the fields of construction design codes, construction processes and environmental impact assessment. The intention is to support and promote policy measures to establish a dynamic, integrated and decentralised approach to managing cooperation in areas of interest to the construction industry, so as to create a favourable environment to serve their mutual interests.
5. Tourism
This letter of intent will promote actions to facilitate tourism flows between the EU and Peru by promoting travel, in particular in the respective low seasons. The intention is to establish a bilateral consultation mechanism to promote cooperation on and a common understanding of issues in the field of tourism. Particular focus will be placed on holding regular dialogue of senior officials and exchanging best practices on subjects of mutual interest, such as sectoral economic growth and job creation.

The Tenth Amendment Center has a plan for preventing the National Security Agency (NSA) from making Americans inmates in an electronic prison.
In a new initiative called "Nullify the NSA," the Los Angeles-based grassroots organization is providing states and activists with tools designed to dismantle critical parts of the surveillance apparatus. One of the most useful of those tools is model legislation drafted by the Tenth Amendment Center.
The Fourth Amendment Protection Act is designed to be adapted by state and local lawmakers for proposal in their respective governing bodies. Laws based on the measure ideally would be enacted on the state level, while counties and cities would pass resolutions reaffirming their commitment to enforce the law.
To its credit, the Tenth Amendment Center admits that this tactic alone will not cure the federal government's monitoring mania. The group recommends the implementation of "more ... aggressive ... measures" in order to successfully strike back at the surveillance.
Many of these measures are included in key provisions of the Fourth Amendment Protection Act. According to the website set up by the group to publicize its latest support for state sovereignty, there are at least four crucial parts of the bill that must be enacted by states if they are to effectively end participation with the NSA's violation of the Fourth Amendment.
The four elements are:

The MGH Cancer Center and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute of the United Kingdom have begun a new alliance in cancer genome research.
Cancer genome research
The MGH Cancer Center and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute of the United Kingdom have begun a new alliance in cancer genome research. The $13 million, five-year project will provide novel insights into genetic features of individual tumors that may determine their response to drug treatment.
Daniel Haber, left, and Jeffrey Settleman
Jeffrey Settleman, PhD, scientific director of the MGH Cancer Center, and his laboratory staff have amassed the largest collection of cancer tumor cell lines in the world -- more than 1,200. "This collaborative study will make use of our cell line repository to identify genomic features that underlie drug sensitivity," says Settleman. "Such information will be of tremendous value in informing the design of clinical trials for targeted, anti-cancer drugs that currently are being developed and for informing treatment decisions with existing cancer drugs." The project is co-led by Daniel Haber, MD, PhD, MGH Cancer Center director, and Michael Stratton, FRS, and Andy Futreal, MD, of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.

National City, Calif.
|Co-founder Clemente Casillas at the CYAC gym in National City, Calif.
|Watch the Video: EPIC EMINENT DOMAIN BATTLE: Inner-City Kids, Boxing Gym Fight Back
Community Youth Athletic Center v. City of National City, et al.
Victimizing the Vulnerable: Eminent Domain Abuse in National City, Calif.
The Community Youth Athletic Center (CYAC) - a California gym that mentors at-risk kids - scored a knockout legal blow against eminent domain abuse in California on April 21, 2011, when Judge Steven R. Denton of the Superior Court of California ruled in the CYAC's favor against National City, Calif., in one of the most important property rights cases in the nation.
This legal victory stems from events that began in 2005, when National City approved a luxury condo project on the gym's land and threatened it with the use of eminent domain. The lawsuit was filed in 2007, when the CYAC, represented by the Institute for Justice of Arlington, Va., stepped into the ring to challenge the decision by National City, Calif., to re-apply a bogus "blight" designation to two-thirds of the city and target the gym, as well as many other properties, for eminent domain.
After four years of hard-fought litigation, the Court struck down National City's entire 692-property eminent domain zone in the first decision to apply the legal reforms that California enacted to counter the disastrous U.S. Supreme Court Kelo decision in 2005. This ruling, which found that National City lacked a legal basis for its blight declaration, reinforces vital protections for property owners across the state, and underscores why redevelopment agencies should be abolished.
The Court also ruled that National City violated the Due Process clause of the U.S. Constitution in failing to provide the CYAC with statutorily required information prior to an important public hearing.
Finally, in a holding with implications well beyond redevelopment law, the Court also held that when the government retains a private consultant to perform government functions-in this case, documenting the existence of alleged "blight" in National City-documents that the private consultant produces are public records subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act. The Court also set a clear standard for what government agencies have to do in searching the records of their private consultants in response to a Public Records Act request.

|Bumgarner, Giants eliminate Braves
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Tuesday, 12 October 2010 07:29
Here's a trivia question for you.
Who was the player that ended Bobby Cox's managerial career? I'll give you a hint. He was born in Hickory, he attended South Caldwell High School and led that school to a state championship his senior year, and he was the tenth player chosen in the first round of the 2007 Major League Baseball draft by the San Francisco Giants.

Last week, county commissioners and representatives from Utah, Washington and Idaho lobbied the United States Congress for a regionally driven process when wilderness bills or designations negatively affecting local areas are considered.
Carbon Commissioner John Jones and county public lands director Rex Sacco joined the group traveling to Washington, D.C. .
The representatives worked under the guidance of Robert Weidener with the Rural Public Lands County Council.
The lobbying firm is paid by counties throughout the western U.S. to represent local interests in various public lands issues, including wilderness and federal payments in lieu of taxes.
The members of the group targeted their efforts on eastern congressional representatives who generally have little information about or experience with the issues.
The group asked Congress to mandate that any requests for public land actions be supported by local elected officials.
The group also asked federal officials to mandate that all bills be carried by the congressman representing the county or resource area involved in the land use issue.
A good example is recent action by Sen. Bob Bennett, who worked with the Washington County Commission to establish federal legislation that was signed on March 30 after passage of the Ominibus Public Lands Bill.
On April 2, Congressman Maurice Hinchey of New York introduced the Red Rock Wilderness Bill with 106 co-sponsors, down 54 members from the 110th Congress.
Jones and Sacco indicated that, in their eyes, there was little doubt that the lower number of co-sponsors for the Red Rock bill was a direct result of the joint efforts of the group.
They feel that real progress was made and that it will benefit local representatives like Jim Matheson, Rob Bishop and Jason Chaffetz who, along with other congressmen from the west, cannot get the information out alone.
"This message I believe was very effective," stated Jones. "Many states can relate to having actions proposed at a federal level by someone who doesn't have to suffer the impacts of it."

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- Several people gathered at Husson University on Saturday to learn about potential business opportunities in China.
The Maine Chinese Language and Business Conference had several speakers talk about their experiences in doing business in China. There was also a speaker who talked about negotiating business deals in China.
Gerry Palmer is the director of the international business division at the Chinese Language and Culture Center of Maine. He thinks there are a couple of ways to get Maine products to China to help boost the state's economy.
"We need to use real time internet, visual communications for two things. One, is for to do trade where we have translators who can speak Chinese to Chinese buyers, and people who can speak English and be able to see what the issues are in the people," Palmer said
Palmer believes some of Maine's top exports to China could be agricultural products such as potatoes, lobster and blueberries.

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 – "Aside from having a great name, Boone Jenner plays a
game scouts love. That's because he's
low-risk. Name an area of the game and
Jenner does well in it. He's a 200-foot
player who is good on faceoffs and does the little things well. And he's no slouch offensively, either. In fact, he put up better numbers than fellow
Oshawa draft
prospects Nicklas Jensen and Lucas Lessio this year. 'If he maxes out, he can get to your second
line,' a scout said. 'He's better than a
fourth-liner and he's got a lot of character and works his butt off. You think he's a defensive guy, but then you
look at the numbers he put up.' If there
is one flaw in his game, it's his skating. It isn't bad enough to keep him out of regular NHL employment, but it
might impede his ability to move up the depth chart. 'The biggest question is upside,' another
scout said. 'He does everything all
right, but it would be border-line to say he's a top-two line guy.'"
The Scouting Report – "Jenner is a big riser in our final
rankings; although we were probably guilty of leaving him a little low in the
mid-terms. The former 4th overall pick in the 2009 OHL Draft has all of the
tools that NHL teams are looking for but needs to find a way to put it
altogether. He's a big guy who is very strong on the puck and is very good in
the dirty areas. He's become a lot more assertive on the ice; and despite an
awkward long stride, he's doing a better job of spanning the whole 200 feet. If
everything works out for Jenner, he should be a dependable two-way center who
will look good on your second line, but we feel he has a lot of maturing; both
physically and mentally, that needs to be done in order to fulfill that
Bruins 2011 Draft Watch –"Another passionate, character
player who can do a little bit of everything, but may not be a high-end guy,
where Jenner goes in the draft is going to be a hot topic of debate between now
and June 24-25. The biggest knock on Jenner coming into the year was on his
skating, but scouts say he's noticeably improved. While he won't ever be one of
those "plus skaters" you hear about, but when we watched him in
January, he showed no major flaws in action against Kitchener. One NHL scout we know told us that
Jenner 'skates his bag off' and is one of those living cliches as the kid who
will go through the wall for his team. He's a strong faceoff guy who is always
around the puck and seems to be the type of player who isn't just productive,
but knows how to elevate his game to come through in the clutch. Jenner is also
a strong defensive player who hustles, plays an honest game in all zones and
does the little things like lifting the stick, taking the body and winning
battles for loose pucks. We're hearing that he'll max out as a second-line
forward, but in all honesty, when you look at all of the intangibles to his
game- leadership, effort level, intelligence and maturity- it's hard to imagine
that he'd be on the board much later than the 31st selection. We feel that
Jenner is a good chance to take in the final 10 picks of the first round, but
have him at 31 because of the questionable offensive role at the next level. It
should not be reflection of where we view him as a guy who scored 25 goals and
66 points in 61 games while being a coach's dream."
Corey Pronman – "Boone Jenner is a player who bleeds
intangibles and gets regular reviews about his non-stop motor and how much he
exerts himself on every second of every shift. He excels in the physical game
and projects as above-average to plus in that regard as he's a bull in the
corners and when he has the puck on the sideboards off the cycle. His defensive
game at even-strength and the penalty kill is solid and he's a player who a
coach can trust to put out for defensive and late game situations. His puck skills
touch average and while I've seen him display solid vision and execution of
passes, if he tries to do anything beyond his means it usually ends up with him
looking bad. His main offensive skills are around the high percentage areas
when it comes to finishing, protecting the puck and driving it to the net. His
skating tool grades at around the 35-40 range as unlike with most players who
have skating issues and have some positive aspect to build around, the skating
tool as a whole for Jenner is fringy."
Alan Bass - "Jenner looks to have the potential to be a
second-line forward in the NHL at best. At worst, he could be a solid
checking-line forward that can contribute some goals when necessary. His hockey
sense is off the charts, and his competitiveness drives scouts to take more and
more looks at him. However, the rest of his game needs improvement at all
points. His skating is his worst attribute, as he lacks the ability to put it
into another gear and explode past defenders. His size is a plus, as he has
almost completely filled out his tall frame. But scouts would still like to see
him use that size more to his advantage. Lastly, Jenner's hands have potential
to make some beautiful passes and snipe some big-name goaltenders – but he
could always use some improvement, as does almost everyone at his age."
The Hockey Writers – "Not often do I find myself at a lost
for adjectives when describing a prospect. When tackling the prospect profile
of Boone Jenner, I can find no better way to launch into this edition
of The Next Ones draft preview series then to simply state I love the way
this kid plays the game. Growing up on a
farm in Ontario,
Jenner has a work ethic that is second to none in this draft. The physical and
skilled centerman almost seems to be from a different hockey era. I can picture
this kid going up against a Bobby Clarke type player and not backing down and
actually excelling. This kid is simply a
player you would love to go to battle with. Coaches love him. Teammates love
him. Fans love him. Opponents hate to play against him. The major question mark heading into the
season was skating, but he has improved that aspect of his game immensely this
season. Jenner is one of the safest picks in this year's draft. He is also able
to elevate his game as the stakes get bigger. In the fantastic 2003 draft, Mike Richards went
24th overall. NHL GMs and scouting teams likely will not let history
repeat itself with Boone. Jenner should definitely go in the first round in
June. Some see him as a top 15 pick. I would not be shocked to see a team be
totally enamored with him and take him off the board in the top 10."
NHL.com – "Boone certainly has caught the eye of scouts,
proving to be a pretty nimble playmaker while scoring more than his share of
game-winning goals, as well as blocking shots and delivering crunching hits
along the boards for the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey League. In his
second season with the team, the 6-foot, 194-pound center has 6 goals, 19
points and a plus-5 rating through 22 games while playing on a line
with Christian Thomas and Alain Berger, who rank first and second,
respectively, on the team in scoring. In
Jenner's case, however, it's more the things he does away from the puck that
has impressed scouts. 'I'm just trying
to do everything out there and not just be offensive or good with the puck,'
Jenner said. 'I try to play well in the defensive zone, and when I don't have
the puck I'm always in pursuit of it, trying to help my team in every way.' 'The phrase, 'I want 20 of those guys on my
team,' gets overused, but it not only applies to Boone, he can be the poster
boy for it,' NHL Central Scouting's Chris Edwards told NHL.com. … 'Boone does
what it takes to win,' Edwards said. 'He blocks shots, wins battles along the
boards and is an outstanding forechecker. He wants to be first to the puck
every time. He's solid on his skates and fights through checks on his way to
the net. He sees the ice very well and has excellent anticipation. His
puckhandling and overall puck skill are very good, he's used in all situations
and logs a lot of ice every night.'"

Thoughts: Jenner seems to be ranked pretty high on draft
boards considering his offensive upside may be limited. He's one of those guys that does a lot of the
little things, but for some reason he's much more well-thought of than some of
the other players with similar skill-sets. That said, his point totals in the OHL are nothing to scoff at, so
perhaps his offensive ability has just been underrated. Jenner has enough tools to be a pretty good
bet to be a third-liner, but the Rangers may be hoping for more of a home run
pick than Jenner might be.

round in 2008 when they selected Michael Del Zotto. They frequently dip into the league at the

I know many on the board wanted him coming out of college. When his head is on straight he has talent. Would anyone take a chance with Wallace leaving?

Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
He's a bum. Why add more bums after getting rid of the bad apples who ruined last season (Wallace). Young has major character issues stemming from just being an idiot. The light never came on. He thinks he is "special" and above doing the things needed to succeed in this league.
I want no part of a player who deliberately sabotaged plays, as Young reportedly did.
Titus Young?
Hope that helps.
On the same day that we waive Rainey for character issues, there is discussion of picking up Young, who was waived for even more character issues? No thanks.
Final Ruthless Mock:
1.22 CB Marcus Peters, 6'0" 197 lbs., Washington
2.56 FS Damarious Randall, 5'11" 196 lbs., Arizona State
3.87 TE Clive Walford, 6'4" 251 lbs., Miami
4.121 DE Henry Anderson, 6'6" 294 lbs., Stanford
5.160 WR Titus Davis, 6'1" 196 lbs., Central Michigan
6.199 OLB Kyle Emanuel, 6'3" 255 lbs., North Dakota State
6.212c OLB Max Valles, 6'5" 251 lbs., Virginia
7.239 RB John Crockett, 6'0" 217 lbs., North Dakota State
he's truly a POS
Signed with the Rams.
I'd love to see them trade out of this pick but.....this is what I got
1) Marcus Peters-CB-Washington
2) Danielle Hunter-OLB-LSU
3) Alex Carter-DB-Stanford
4) Jeremy Langford-RB-Mich St
5) Blake Bell-TE-OU
6) Titus Davis-WR-Central Mich
6c)-Sean Hickey-OT-Syracuse
7) Julian Wilson-DB-Oklahoma
