When Aaron J. Ditch, 34, was growing up in Henderson Harbor, he never imagined that he one day would be hobnobbing with the horse racing elite at the nations oldest thoroughbred race, let alone gambling with a briefcase full of someone elses money.
Yet that is exactly how he and his wife spent this past Saturday, after Mr. Ditch won the Saratoga 150 contest and the opportunity to place a $15,000 wager on any horse of his choosing in the $1 million Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course.
Unfortunately, I lost, said Mr. Ditch, who lives in Saratoga Springs.
The stakes were won in an upset by Will Take Charge, who was given 9-1 odds. Mr. Ditch wagered on Verrazano, who was favored but finished seventh in a field of nine.
Apparently, winning isnt everything.
Mr. Ditch, whose parents, Eileen C. and John A., still live in Henderson Harbor, said that it was a great, great day and that he got to socialize with horse racing socialites, heavyweights and dignitaries, including Marylou Whitney, John Hendrickson, U.S. Racing Hall of Fame horse trainer D. Wayne Lukas and Saratoga Springs Mayor Scott Johnson.
The contest was sponsored by Mrs. Whitney and Mr. Hendrickson, central figures in the Saratoga social landscape and the honorary chairs of the race courses sesquicentennial celebration.
Mrs. Whitney, heiress to the fortune of Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, married Mr. Hendrickson in 1997. The couple arranged to provide awards of $15,000 from their own money to five contest winners through the summer. To win the chance to make a wager, contestants entered their information online.
Mr. Ditch graduated in 1997 from South Jefferson Central School, Adams, where he played soccer and lacrosse before majoring in history at SUNY Plattsburgh. He works at the Capital District YMCA as a senior program director.
If he had bet on the winning horse, Mr. Ditch would have cashed a ticket for about $135,000.
He joked with colleagues before Saturday that if his pick won the race, he would skip work on Monday.
While that didnt happen, Mr. Ditch did walk away from the race course with good memories, a few new friends in high places, and the empty briefcase that once held $15,000 in cash.
After the race, Mr. Ditch and his wife attended a champagne reception at the Saratoga Room before hitting the town.
I tried to take advantage of the fact that I was a celebrity for a day. You dont get that opportunity a lot, Mr. Ditch said.

BUFFALO, NY - Heaven Help Us, is the name of a pilot sitcom created and directed by Greg Robbins.
The show is about couple about to have an empty nest when all of the children return home and a grandchild and an in-law, played by Lee Meriwether. Four generations under one roof, no wonder it's called, Heaven Help Us.
Greg Robbins is the creator of the sitcom. He also plays a retired cop who buys a fish and tackle store called 'Bite Me Bait & Shack.' Actress Nancy Stafford plays Robbins wife and principal of a junior high school.
Eddie Mekka, known as Carmine "the Big Ragu" from Laverne & Shirley is part of the cast. "Laverne & Shirley was very family oriented and this is what they're trying to bring to this show. It's about fishing, it's about this, it's about that. It's about a solid family, we don't have that stuff anymore."
2 On Your Side's Claudine Ewing caught up with the cast and crew while filming on location on Main Street in Williamsville.
Jenn Gotzon, an actress in the movie doonby, is excited about the show that could land on the Nickelodeon network. "It takes this concept of a dysfunctional family, which we're all dysfunctional right, puts you all under same roof but has good healthy issues that you are dealing with and a good healthy resolution."
Robbins, the show creator is a California native who moved to Buffalo three years ago. He says the show will be based in Buffalo.
Peter Kent who played Arnold Schwarzengger's double in the movie, The Terminator is also part of the cast, along with comedic actor Torry Martin.

I've heard from countless Ways 2 Save viewers in search of the Go Rock mobile speakers and others hoping for a break at the pump.
Today, I gladly combined these two completely unrelated topics.
Let's start with the speakers because they're more fun in my opinion.
And remember, you can follow me on Twitter for more post-morning show deals. CLICK HERE
I test hundreds of speaker systems every year and my current favorite for size, sound and the way it all comes together is the Go Rock mobile speaker system.
The sound, for the size, is actually stunning. No, it will not compete with Bose or anything of that nature, but for $12.77, you will not find a better deal anywhere.
The tiny speakers package together with two magnets, with retractable cords. Pull them apart, plug them into an iPhone, iPod, iPad, MP3 player, laptop, or device with a standard headphone jack. You get a surprising amount of bass, no batteries needed and easy charging via USB. Awesome!
The speakers have dropped in price across the country as part of a promotional sale today, but the lowest price anywhere is at Just Deals.

Buzz: Michael Sauer Isn't Even Being Discussed Right Now (Update)
3:11PM: Jeff Klein, in the NY Times, spoke with Sauer's agent Ben Hankinson who said "I wish I could give you some kind of timetable on when or if he can come back, but I can't. Unfortunately it's still day to day, week to week, month to month."
He added, Michael's condition is still very much an up-and-down thing. We're hoping for the best, but we just don't know right now."
12:36PM: According to Andrew Gross, John Tortorella said today that the Rangers aren't discussing the possibility that Michael Sauer can return from his concussion and play right now.
Sauer has been out since 12/5/11 when he took a big hit from Dion Phaneuf.

Still Black Still Strong is an essential document of the Black Panther Party written by three leading thinkers and party activists who were jailed following the FBI'S 1969 mandate to destroy the organization "by any means possible."
Still Black, Still Strong is partly based upon the 1989 videotape Framing The Panthers by producers Chris Bratton and Annie Goldson. It recounts the stories of Dhoruba Bin Wahad, Mumia Abu-Jamal and Assata Shakur, all of whom were arrested and jailed during the COINTELPRO probe of the Black Panther Party.

Workplace Bullying & Violence
Keeping people well should always be the primary goal in the workplace. Many organizations think that harassment, violence, bullying and mobbing do not affect their workplace however, the research indicates otherwise.
Workplace harassment: engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct against a worker in a workplace that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome.
Workplace violence: an exercise of physical force or the attempt to exercise physical force by a person against a worker in a workplace that causes or could cause physical injury to the worker.
Workplace bullying is repeated, unreasonable or inappropriate behavior directed towards a worker, or group of workers, that creates a risk to health and safety.
Workplace mobbing: although sometimes mischaracterized as workplace conflict, is actually a pernicious and dangerous workplace injury. Mobbing in the workplace is a kind of mass bullying, with collusion or active participation of the management. It is a group campaign of harassment and cruelty, conscious or unconscious, designed to undermine the confidence, impugn the competence, and undercut the effectiveness of certain employees.
The Workplace Bullying Institute conducted a survey in 2007 which found these stats about workplace bullying:
- 37 percent of workers have been bullied: 13 percent currently and 24 percent previously.
- 40 percent of bullied individuals never tell their employers and 62 percent of employers who are told ignore the problem, hoping that it will stop on its own, not knowing what to do or normalizing this damaging behavior.
- 45 percent of targets suffer stress-related health problems.

(Jun 14, 2013) On June 5, 2013, a press release presented the conclusion of the European Commission's Convergence Report on Latvia that Latvia "has achieved a high degree of sustainable economic convergence with the euro area." Based on the Convergence Report, the Commission proposed that the Council of the European Union reach a decision on Latvia's adoption of the euro by January 1, 2014. (Press Release, European Commission, IP/13/500, Commission Concludes That Latvia Is Ready to Adopt Euro in 2014 (June 5, 2012), RAPID; EUROPEAN COMMISSION, CONVERGENCE REPORT 2013 ON LATVIA (2013).)
The Convergence Report, which was drafted by the Commission at the request of Latvia in March 2013, assesses Latvia's performance with regard to the criteria that must be met by a country prior to joining the euro zone as prescribed in the Lisbon Treaty and in the Protocol on the Convergence Criteria annexed to the Treaty. (Press Release, supra.) These requirements include meeting four economic criteria: price stability and the inflation rate, the state of the government's budget, the exchange rate, and the long-term stability rate. (Consolidated Version of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, art. 140, 2012 O.J. (C 326) 47.)
In the area of price stability and the inflation rate, the Commission noted that in the 12 months prior to April 2013, the inflation rate in Latvia was 1.3%, which is well below the required reference value of 2.7%. Nevertheless, the Commission recommended that Latvia take extra care to avoid an increase in inflation. (Press Release, supra.)
With regard to government debt and deficit, the Commission noted that Latvia's ratio of government deficit to gross domestic income (GDP) in 2010 peaked at 8.1%. A decrease to 1.2% for 2012 was noted. The ratio is expected to remain at the same level in 2013. At the end of 2012, the general government debt amounted to 40.7% of GDP. (Id.)
Latvia's long term interest rate from April 2012 to April 2013, was 3.8%, which is below the reference value of 5.5%. Latvia has also exceeded the two-year minimum participation requirement for its exchange rate, because it has been part of the Exchange Rate Mechanism since 2005. (
The Treaty specifies that additional factors must be considered, such as market integration and balance of payments, to assess whether an EU Member meets the eligibility criteria. The Commission noted that Latvia's legislation on related monetary issues is in line with EU legislation. (
A number of steps must be followed before a final approval is given for Latvia to join the euro zone. First, the European Parliament must provide an opinion on the matter, and then the euro and finance ministers of the 17 Members States of the eurozone must also approve a recommendation in favor of Latvian membership. The EU Economic and Financial Ministers (ECOFIN) Council will make a final decision on the matter after EU high officials discuss Latvia's adoption of the euro, during the next meeting of the European Council, set for June 27-28, 2013.

The vuvuzela, a plastic horn, has become the official villain of the 2010 World Cup. There was a debate about whether vuvuzela should be banned before the World Cup. Recently, FIFA president Sepp Blatter cleared the air on Monday, saying he fully supported the use of vuvuzelas and that it would be disrespectful for FIFA to come in and change an African tradition. It will always be difficult and controversy to make the banning decision. On the one hand, the vuvuzela makes life difficult for players and audiences, both at the match or watching from home. Players have trouble hearing the whistle or their teammates, audiences at home have trouble hearing the commentary on TV, and chanting fans at the match are drowned out by the monotonous vuvuzelas. However, as Trmon Zamba, a South African fan, said "It's our culture. It can be loud, but it's good for us supporters."
People may wonder, dose every South African fan really enjoy the noise made by vuvuzela. Probably not. However, because the vuvuzela has been determined by the South African culture to be the "right" way to show fans' supports in that situation, personal value and preference do not matter anymore. Psychological research has shown that the psychological processes that shape the effects of personal values on behavior are strongly affected by the social context in which people operate. These processes are strongly cultural bound. As previous research has showed, one of the best-known factors believed to moderate the effect of personal attributes is 'situational strength': when the social context provides uniform expectations regarding appropriate behavior, the situation is defined as strong. In strong situations, all people follow the same course of action, and there is little variation in behavior. Thus, let's face it. The vuvuzela which is rooted in South African tradition has been considered as an appropriate way to show fans' passion and supports in its culture. No matter people like it or not, fans of every team will keep blowing them delightedly to show support for their national teams in this World Cup.
But, really, I don't mind it so much
Question of the day: Is the vuvuzela a cultural delight or just plain annoying?

New York Rangers @
Florida Panthers
5 p.m., Sunday
Bank Atlantic
Rangers Record: 22-14-3
Panthers Record: 16-17-2
Tonight, Jan. 2, the Rangers take on the Florida Panthers at
the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, FL. The Rangers, 6-2-2 in their last 10
games, look to get back to winning ways after an overtime loss against the
second-place Tampa Bay Lightning last night. New York enjoyed a torrid
December, winning all but four games (8-3-1) last month. Regardless of the
team's plethora of injuries this season, the Rangers have been able to stay
extremely competitive in their division and in the Eastern Conference, sitting
comfortably in playoff contention (seven points above ninth place).
The Panthers, coming off a tough home loss in overtime
against the Montreal Canadiens on Dec. 31, look to reestablish home dominance
with a win over the Rangers. The Panthers are currently a sub-.500 team and
only 7-6-2 at home, so improving their home play is crucial to saving this
The Rangers continue to suffer from injuries to forwards
Vinny Prospal, Erik Christensen, Derek Boogaard and Ryan Callahan, none of whom
are due to return any time soon. Defenseman Michael Del Zotto has not
played since Dec. 18 due to a combination of illness and injury
The Panthers' injury report seems to be turning around for
the new year, as Friday's game marked the return of forwards Rostislav Olesz,
Cory Stillman, and Radek Dvorak from the disabled list.
Rangers' rookie forward Derek Stepan was riding a five-game
scoring streak (4G, 2A) going into Saturday night's game, while Brandon
Dubinsky and Brian Boyle were enjoying four-game point streaks (both 2G, 3A).
All three players had their streaks broken in Saturday's loss, but the game
still held some promise. The Rangers managed to scrape a point out of what was
sure to be a regulation loss when Marian Gaborik scored off a feed from Dan
Girardi with 46 seconds remaining in the third period. The team's ability to
fight back, especially in a physical game, bodes well for the future of the
Rangers' season.
Be sure to check in at 5 o'clock to catch the Rangers and
Panthers' matinee match-up!

Other special guests will join the party on stage for the Super Music Friends Show and Dancey Dance segments.

What is the rotator cuff?
The rotator cuff is the group of four tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. The tendons hook up to the four muscles that move the shoulder in various directions.
There are four muscles whose tendons form the rotator cuff: the subscapularis muscle, which moves the arm by turning it inward (internal rotation); the supraspinatus muscle, which is responsible for elevating the arm and moving it away from the body; the infraspinatus muscle, which assists the lifting of the arm during turning the arm outward (external rotation); and the teres minor muscle, which also helps in the outward turning of the arm.
What causes rotator cuff disease?
Rotator cuff disease is damage to the rotator cuff from any cause. It can be from an acute injury or from repetitive strains. This condition is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain.
How is the rotator cuff injured?
The rotator cuff can be injured because of degeneration with aging or inflammation due to tendinitis, bursitis, or arthritis of the shoulder. The rotator cuff is commonly injured by trauma (such as from falling and injuring the shoulder or overuse in sports). Rotator cuff injury is particularly common in people who perform repetitive overhead motions that can stress the rotator cuff. These motions are frequently associated with muscle fatigue.

text: How to use the calculator 1. Adjust your desired overage. Overage is the percentage of extra area you will need to account for lost material due to repeat matching, irregular spaces around doors/ windows, etc. We recommend 30% for most wallpaper patterns with straight or offset matches. If you are doing a wall with no windows or doors you may want to change this to a lower percentage. This does not apply to murals since they are a standard size or constrained to the artwork's proportions. 2. Enter width and height. You can enter dimensions in many formats and the calculator will figure it out (ex. 12 feet 3 in, 10 meters, 10' 5", 30 yds). You must enter the units after the number. 3. Add another wall. After you add dimensions for a wall you can click '+ wall' to add another. The total square footage will be the sum total of each wall. 4. Calculate. The calculator will tell you how many units of the current product you will need for most products. If the dimensions are unavailable to the calculator it will return the total square feet you are trying to cover. Please observe the product details and verify dimensions there may be non-standard products that return inaccurate purchasing suggestions. 99% of the time they are correct but we are not responsible for orders based on inaccurate measurements.

By PAULA WELLSContributing writer
Pinnacle Canyon Academy appeared before the Utah Board of Education at the May meeting in Vernal to request final approval of expanding the local facility to include high school classes.
The state board members approved the addition of the 10th grade for the 2006-2007 school year.
Students who are currently enrolled in the ninth grade at the charter school will be the first graduating class of Pinnacle High in 2009.
The state board also approved the addition of 11th and 12th grades the following two years.
"We want every child to have choices, to know what those choices are, and to be educated enough to stand up for what they believe in and make the right choice," said Lorrie Weaver, a junior high teacher at Pinnacle as she asked the board to approve the request.
"The students' involvement in this process shows both the staff and student's commitment to work toward this goal together. Please don't interrupt what our students have been working toward as members of their school community and force them to leave their school and attend a school that is not their choice. Please don't take away these students' right to make an educated choice about their future education," continued Weaver.
Ninth grader Jessica Houskeeper and seventh grader Chrystal Rich represented Pinnacle Academy students at the state education board meeting.
Houskeeper explained that PCA meets the needs of the students.The ninth grader told the board the students wanted to stay in the small setting to complete high school educations.
Rich said she was happy to have teachers who help her get As and Bs.
"That's something I didn't get at my last school," commented the seventh grader.
After discussing the matter and directing questions to Pinnacle administrative officer Roberta Hardy, the board voted to approve adding the high school level at the academy.
Pinnacle Canyon is a public charter school established in Carbon County in August 1998. It currently houses grades pre-kindergarten to ninth grade.
All high school grade levels will be added to the school in fall 2008.

|Recruitment and Retention
Back to Teaching Quality main page.
With the growing shortage of teachers throughout the country, many states and districts have and continue to work towards attracting and keeping teachers in K-12 schools. This endeavor may come in the form of incentives which can be offered via:
Recruitment and retention of educators in at-risk/hard-to-staff schools (inner-city, rural, low-performing and high-poverty) and hard-to-staff subjects (math, science, computers and special education) is necessary in to order to increase student performance, provide quality education and help close the achievement gap. Incentives are offered to teachers and teacher candidates who agree to teach in these schools in return for multi-year commitments to remain in the school and in the teaching profession. Incentives are also provided to entice minorities to pursue teaching as a profession as well as to teach in lower performing schools.

My heart goes out to this guy, seems like he just lost his grip.
Nothing but time to think when you're behind the controls. I hope this guy some help.
Schedule burn-out. To many days, to many legs. Just more then the poor guy could cope with. Sorry it got to him!
[This poster has been suspended.]
i wonder how long until he'll be able to get back to work flying for jetblue...
He's done, can't set foot in an airplane again.
You know, I got to apologize to you. I never even thought about asking you how ya'll made out with that storm up there until right now. I have seen some posts/comments from you since then and I didn't even think about it. All OK?
Oh yeah, it's good. I can't explain it, but there's a band of about 2 miles on either side of me that misses all the heavy stuff, rain, snow, etc.. There's no landmass difference, it's weird, but I'm thankful. My development is the only part of the township that didn't lose power, underground utilities. Also no flooding because the builder went bankrupt and didn't finish levelling the road, so everything drains out of the deelopment onto the county road. Thanks for asking... By the way, I was in TX,CA,OR,KS,and OK when this was happening, my son was home with the dogs. Payback for him!!!
Well, at least you had it halfway decent. I imagine the boy had some anxious monents though.
He was probably on the flight sim the entire time, while the dawgs were hungry. He's getting more expensive working on his instrument...
lol. Daddy's are rough teachers too.
He didn't want me teaching him, he gets free instruction, I got his CFI a job flying Lears...
That ain't a bad deal. Outa here awhile. Got company.
Judge said he couldn't even board an airplane without the court's approval. Pretty sure the FFA will never let him hold a medical again either.
There are things that will not allow one to pilot an airplane medicaly and this is one of them Just wish that he didnt go to jail for it as what happened was beyond his abity to control. Happens every day to others and they dont go to jail sometimes even if they kill someone.
Unfortuanately his defense strategy mandated some form of incarceration. The not guilty-by reason of insanity meant he had to be detained until doctors could prove his mental defect. It happens with every crime. You dont get to walk out of jail on bail if you say you are insane. An insanity plea is basically a guilty plea with excuse.
Had he plead not guilty, then he would have faced a trial with the potential for a guilty verdict. At least the insanity plea allowed the judge to release him with conditions if he showed improvement.

POTSDAM The Potsdam village Board of Trustees passed three of four proposed property tax breaks Monday, unanimously rejecting the fourth amid concerns that it would cause more problems than it is worth.
All four proposals were taken from a state-sanctioned list of allowed tax incentives, with the goal of bringing more permanent residents to Potsdam, a village dominated by renters.
All of the local laws that were considering here tonight are here to promote more homeownership in the village, said Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis.
The following three incentives were all unanimously approved by the board:
n A five-year partial village property tax exemption for first-time homebuyers purchasing newly constructed homes. The exemption will start at 50 percent and drop by 10 percent a year.
n A 100 percent exemption for new buildings and major renovations that are environmentally friendly enough to meet Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design Certification requirements.
The full exemption will last three to six years, depending on the buildings level of certification.
Once the full exemption expires, it will drop by 20 percent a year until the owner is paying full taxes.
n A permanent property tax exemption of 6 to 45 percent for people with disabilities and limited income. The size of the exemption will be based on the recipients income.
Each of these laws passed 4-0, with little discussion. Trustee Ruth Garner was absent.
Residents will be able to apply for these tax breaks as soon as they are approved by the state, a process that usually takes about a month.
The fourth proposal drew much more criticism, and was eventually shot down. It would have provided a 100 percent property tax exemption for the addition of an apartment to a home to house the homeowners parent or grandparent.
The exemption would cover only the value of the apartment, not the entire home, and would expire as soon as a parent or grandparent no longer is living there.
Several board members expressed worries that despite its noble intentions, the law would encourage the construction of apartments that would be rented out to others after its original occupants had died.
Its not as much what it is today, as what it could be tomorrow, said Trustee Ronald Tischler.
Mr. Yurgartis agreed with this could be potentially problematic, and decided to vote against the law.
I think youve convinced me that this is a legitimate concern, he said, adding that he wants to learn more about the possible ramifications of the law and may propose it again once he has more information.
Trustee Eleanor F. Hopke said she hopes the issue does not come up again.
Either were going to subsidize the building of more multi-family housing or were not, she said.

The Lake Ontario Playhouse in downtown Sackets Harbor had a challenging time attracting out-of-town visitors to theater productions in 2012. Its poor financial standing forced owner Michael R. Kinnie to ask for a $25,000 taxpayer-backed loan.
On Friday, the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency board of directors unanimously approved its $12,500 share of the loan, which is dependent on the approval of $12,500 from the Sackets Harbor Local Development Corp., which meets this month. Board members discussed the loan after learning it was considered high-risk by a member of the loan review committee, Michelle D. Pfaff. Ms. Pfaff, the agency's treasurer, was absent for the final vote on the loan.
Board member Donald L. DiMonda, a Sackets Harbor resident, said he has spoken with members of the community who support the request for the loan. He also is president of the of the Sackets Harbor Local Development Corp.
The greatest challenge for the playhouse, Mr. DiMonda said, has been maintaining a strong advertising campaign that helps ensure its events are well-attended.
Mr. Kinnie's "weekly success depends on the money he spends on advertising," he said. "It has an immediate impact on his sales because he can get the community to come in, but he has to have money to bring in people outside the community. So he's in between a rock and a hard place."
Though he acknowledged the risk involved, Mr. DiMonda underscored the community's need for the playhouse at 103 W. Main St., which has survived more than 25 years. Destination-oriented businesses such as comedy clubs need to be able to survive through difficult economic times. He said tourism in Sackets Harbor has suffered since the recession with building vacancies. He said most taxpayers in Sackets Harbor would be willing to take on the risk of the loan because of the value the playhouse brings to the community.
"We're in the unenviable position of having to lay this on the taxpayers for whom we are responsible," he said. "It's not a business that brings in jobs, but it brings in culture to the community that adds to the resume of what we have here when businesses from larger areas look at us. The business could crater without this, and do we want to have an empty building sitting on the side of the street?"
Similarly, board member Urban C. Hirschey supported the loan despite the risk involved.
"I agree this is a little shaky, but the playhouse is an important part of the community," he said. "If we don't support this loan, we're putting an important part of the community at risk that's been going on for over 25 years."
Board member W. Edward Walldroff said, "This probably wouldn't have gone through this board if the Sackets Harbor LDC wasn't doing a like amount. But if you twist my arm, I'll vote for this. I'm sure at the very least the community will get more than $12,500 out of this."

The Statue of Liberty, a gift from France to the United States, has been moonlighting as a guerilla marketer in Watertown.
At least that's what you might think if you've driven past the State Street location of Liberty Tax Service during the past three months.
If you have, chances are you've seen Paul K. Crandall, 23, Watertown, decked out in the signature green patina of Lady Liberty and dancing with a large sign.
With tax season rapidly drawing to a close, Mr. Crandall, who prefers classical and techno music as his soundtrack, has his work cut out for him.
"The real big rush is the last three or four days," said Berle C. Roes, who owns the State Street franchise along with his wife, Cathy W. "That's the panic season."
Hiring sign wavers to attract customers is one of the principal marketing strategies of Liberty Tax Service, which was founded in 1997 by John Hewitt of Jackson Hewitt fame.
"Our wavers are a key part of our marketing," said Randall S. Cerone, manager of the State Street location. "They grab your attention. You may not even be thinking about your taxes when you see them, but you know you need to do them. It takes some of the stress off. If you're having a bad day and you see him out there dancing and having a good time, it makes you happy."
"Gotta make them happy," Mr. Crandall said.
Mr. Crandall is quiet and reserved. He seems to prefer to express himself non-verbally.
Originally from Syracuse, Mr. Crandall had shaved the initials S.U. into his short hair, showing support for his hometown Syracuse University Orange basketball team as it headed into the NCAA Tournament Final Four on Friday night.
The job allows him to express himself.
"I love it. It gets me going. I get to meet people. ... If someone's having a bad day, I try to make them smile," he said.
His efforts have captured the attention of many a motorist, bringing several customers into the franchise, according to Mr. Roes.
Some people have even stopped to offer Mr. Crandall coffee, soda, food and gloves in the cold weather.
"It's not the easiest job in the world. Especially during January and February," Mr. Roes said.
"It can be 10 below and he's still out there," Mr. Cerone said. "He's the most dedicated waver we've ever had."
Mr. Crandall said he likes his job because it has a "good atmosphere" and he gets along well with his co-workers.
It is not without its occupational hazards, however. He has occasionally suffered verbal abuse from passersby.
"Sometimes they flip me off," he said. "I just smile and tell them, 'Have a good day.'"
"That's when we say, 'They're telling you you're number one,'" Mrs. Roes joked.
The Roes's State Street location is in its sixth tax season.
The couple also owns a Liberty Tax franchise on Arsenal Street, one in Evans Mills and one in Gouverneur.
Mr. Cerone said the franchises, which are part of a national chain with 4,000 locations, offer a "laid-back but professional" atmosphere and better accountability than one might find with an online filing program such as TurboTax.
Mr. Roes added, "When you sit down live with a preparer they're asking you probing questions that you might not think of when you're on your computer."
The busy season for the business is January through April 15, tax day, but locations are open year-round.
In the off-season, the franchises offer tax preparation classes to the public. There's no tuition for courses unless students want to receive college credit, which is available through the University of Phoenix. There is a fee for books that varies from year to year.
The franchise also gets sporadic business during the offseason from soldiers returning from deployments and people who have missed the April 15 deadline and have to file at other times of the year.

Comments about Marmot Pipeline Jean - Relaxed Fit (Men's):
I've recently lost 30 pounds and have no clothes that fit. I bought the Pipeline Jean from Marmot since they would stretch and should be cool in differing temperatures. I teach school and have been wearing them to school since I presently have only 3 pairs of pants that fit. They are very comfortable (I would even consider wearing on a long flight), move with you, feel good in all weather conditions, wash and hang dry over night with no wrinkles the next morning. I will definitely purchase another pair when the need arises. I can't say enough good things about them. I have received many compliments from my students which is somewhat unusual in regard to my clothing.

MSF has expanded its operations in Lebanon and Jordan to provide care to Syrian patients.
Syria 2012 © MSF
In November of last year, MSF expanded its work in Lebanon in order to provide urgent aid to thousands of Syrian refugees fl eeing across the border. Teams opened new medical projects in the northern Wadi Khaled area, in Tripoli, and in various locations in the Bekaa Valley.
Living conditions are extremely precarious for many refugees. According to MSF estimates, in early September more than 1,000 people were living in overcrowded shelters close to the border in the villages of Wadi Khaled and in the Bekaa Valley. In Tripoli, rental costs are high and many families have no choice but to share apartments. Access to medical care is also lacking. A study undertaken by MSF this past May showed that the availability of treatment for chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease is a major concern, and that four in ten interviewees did not have access to a hospital. "The refugees are really being tested," said Fabio Forgione, MSF's head of mission in Lebanon. "When they arrive, most are struggling to deal with the consequences of direct violence and loss; then they have to face the reality of not being able to go home. Many lose all hope."
"When they arrive, most are struggling to deal with the consequences of direct violence and loss; then they have to face the reality of not being able to go home. Many lose all hope."
While Lebanese communities have made a tremendous eff ort to integrate and help refugees, there are limits on what they can do. Humanitarian relief and the support of host communities has been an important factor in avoiding a major health crisis thus far, but any reduction in assistance could place refugees at risk. For the moment, the reality for many Syrian refugees in Lebanon is a life on the brink—an escape from one set of dangers and uncertainties to another.
Syrian refugees have been arriving in Jordan on an almost daily basis, using different routes to get in but almost always ending up in one of the camps set up at the border crossing in the Jordanian town of Ramtha.
A specialized MSF surgical team performs operations in a hospital in nearby Amman. Initially, the team performed only reconstructive surgery, treating victims of violence from Iraq, Libya, Yemen, and other countries [see page 14]. However, the number of Syrian refugees arriving in Jordan with bullet wounds and other injuries has grown steadily since the revolt broke out in their country.
""...the number of Syrian refugees arriving in Jordan with bullet wounds and other injuries has grown steadily since the revolt broke out in their country."
As a result, MSF has strengthened its orthopedic surgery team in Amman. An MSF surgeon examines five to ten patients per week at the hospital, and about one-third of those patients require orthopedic surgery—either for the fi rst time, or in addition to a previous surgery conducted elsewhere. Another third receive physical therapy, and the remaining third are closely monitored as they rehabilitate.
MSF teams also regularly visit the camps on the border to speak with potential patients. They are, in truth, more like transit centers than camps; Syrians generally do not stay very long.

For advanced and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, current therapies are limited. These therapies at best may offer patients survival benefits on the order of approximately 4 months, and can still have side effects which may be serious. Newer therapies are in trials which attempt to enhance survival and limit toxicities. This report was of a phase II study looking at a novel angiogenesis inhibitor utilizing monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

About using a headset
You can purchase an optional headset to use with your BlackBerry® device.
If you use a headset, you can use a headset button to answer or end a call, or to turn on or turn off mute during a call. Depending on your device model, you might be able to use a headset button to make a call using a voice command.
Depending on your headset, you might also be able to use a headset button to pause, resume, skip, or adjust the volume of audio or video files.
For more information about using the headset, see the documentation that came with your headset.
