Shopping for a quirky Individualist or a have-it-all Alpha Mom can definitely be tricky, but finding the perfect present for a Vintage Spirit is a challenge on a whole other level. Typically clad in a mix of incredibly cool vintage finds, impossible-to-place key pieces, and rock'n'roll staples, the Vintage Spirit is always on the move, traveling around the world and picking up unbelievable treasures along the way. Maybe she's an actress, buyer, or a photographer-or just wants to be one someday-but regardless of profession, this type of giftee likes her little luxuries and is a bit of a hippie too. Much like style icon Sienna Miller, the Vintage Spirit is a modern nomad with a fondness for any wardrobe item that has a past, so sourcing an of-the-moment present takes some serious thought. But don't fret, dear readers, we've collected an excellent assortment of must-have items for your purchasing or wishlist-adding pleasure. Plus, we've even included an amazing tip for easy holiday shopping, courtesy of the lovely team at Rightcliq by Visa.* (More on that in a moment!) From an incredibly flattering pair of jeans to a heavenly candle, we've got all the Vintage Spirit essentials in today's installment of the Gift Guide!
Current/Elliott High Rise Bell Flared Jeans ($210)
Whether she's shopping the local flea markets or jet setting to another country for work, nothing says comfortable and chic for the Vintage Spirit like an amazing pair of high-waisted flare jeans. We suggest picking up Current/Elliott's adorable version because we're sure that the VS will be smitten with their dark blue wash and slim, retro cut. Plus, as owners of this exact style, we can promise you that they are incredibly flattering. Even better: these jeans have a very '70s-inspired shape, which happens to be a huge trend for spring, so your Vintage Spirit will surely wear them for seasons to come!
Cowshed Knackered Cow Relaxing Room Candle ($42)
Between her busy work schedule and jam-packed social life, the Vintage Spirit is always on the go. Since downtime is a rare occurrence in her life, we think you should give her the gift of relaxation this holiday season with Cowshed's Knackered Cow Candle. Unwinding from a grueling day will be easy, thanks to the candle's herbaceous blend of essential oils like lavender and eucalyptus-a beautifully fragrant combo that restores the mind and harmony. If that's not enough to win this gypset darling over, her grounded sensibilities will surely be drawn to the fact that this candle is made from 100% natural wax from organic and certified vegan ingredients.
Vanessa Bruno Lace Bra and Panty ($120-$156)
One of the things we love best about the Vintage Spirit is that there's always a hint of boudoir in whatever she's wearing. Since she's a devotee of silky kimonos and delicate slip dresses, we also think she'd adore a little lingerie, especially in the form of these Vanessa Bruno underthings. This bra and panty set boasts an unfussy mesh and lace combo that exudes a romantic femininity the Vintage Spirit is sure to love. Plus, they're pretty darn sexy, making them a perfect pick for her, er, romance-minded evenings.
Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci Stacked Metal Bangles with Cut Metal Stones (price upon request, 212.826.8900)
Surely, a statement-making world traveler like the Vintage Spirit has collected a bevy of fine baubles over the years, but in our opinion, you can never have enough jewelry on hand. Case in point: who could refuse these incredible bangles from Givenchy? Not only would they perfectly accent the VS's supremely stylish ensembles, they'd also add a dash of modernity. Slightly edgy and decidedly cool, the bracelets come in three different colors-gunmetal gray, gold, and champagne-so she can mix and match as she pleases. Whether she chooses to wear just one or stack a few up her arm, the results will be noteworthy!
Anda & Masha by Selima Sympathy Hat ($340)
Our modern nomad is not afraid to make a statement via an intriguing accent, which is why we're positive she'd fall in love with this black, brimmed, flat-top chapeau. Inspired by Spanish gaucho hats and designed by Drew Barrymore's stylists, this topper is surely a reflection of the Vintage Spirit's quirky-meets-retro tastes and has a bit of that vintage rock'n'roll spirit she adores so much. One thing's for sure: with this amazing hat on her head, she is guaranteed to look stylish wherever she goes.
H&M Jacket ($99)
The Vintage Spirit is known for her thrilling fashion finds and this truly amazing jacket looks like something she could have picked up on her travels abroad. The black velveteen and intricate gold stitching surely will speak to the Vintage Spirit's love of decadent pieces and luxe materials, plus it's a totally versatile piece. It's perfect for day with a diaphanous top and her go-to flares, but works equally well over a cocktail dress or styled with a silky maxi skirt. Either way, it's just the sort of piece the Vintage Spirit wants in her suitcase and wardrobe, so be sure to track one down today.
Vera Wang Pascal Sunglasses ($245) in Brown Camel
Now, any girl is sure to make a stylish statement in these retro shades, but we think they are the pitch-perfect pair for our Vintage Spirit! Though they look like they could have been picked up at a consignment store in Palm Beach or purchased at a flea market in Paris, they are actually a completely of-the-moment part of Vera Wang's eyewear line. We think the rounded frames and camel/chocolate color palette is too good to pass up and we have a hunch that the Vintage Spirit will agree!-Jessica Baker

The tower straddles a clear pool fed by waterfalls, where you'll find shaded viewing platforms, a licensed bar, sun deck and grassy lawn, giving you a great spot to take in the fun and relaxed atmosphere before and after your leap!
Choose from three options detailed in the Itinerary below.
Head up the steps to the top of the tower where you'll meet your bungy instructor and prepare for your jump. After listening to a safety briefing, you'll put on your harness with your instructor's assistance, then step to the edge of the platform.
Take a deep breath, gather your courage and jump!, hurtling some 164 feet (50m) off the platform towards the pool below. You'll free-fall, dip into the water (if you choose, talk with your instructor) and then bounce up as you feel the adrenaline of your jump kicking in!
Once you've finished, you'll be picked up by an instructor who is waiting for you on a raft in the pond. You'll be released from the harness and rowed to shore where you can enjoy the elation and adrenaline of your jump. Celebrate at the waterside bar as you listen to music, watch other jumpers and savor the triumph of taking the leap!
Your package includes the jump, a t-shirt and certificate, and you will have the option to purchase a video and photos of your jump for a souvenir of your thrilling day.

Experience the Minjin Swing, created as a way for one, two or three people to fly through the air together, experiencing the thrill of extreme speed and acceleration. You'll be given a safety briefing and harness equipment, then your instructor will get you safely strapped into the swing.
When ready, you'll be hoisted up above the rainforest canopy to a height of nearly 150 feet (45 meters). At the top, you'll pull the release lever to start your fall, then drop down to within 3 feet (1 meter) of the ground in just 3.5 seconds, reaching speeds of up to 75 miles per hour (120 km per hour).
After your swing has stopped, you'll be picked up by an instructor and released from the harness. Have a celebratory drink at the waterside bar as you enjoy the music, watch other adrenaline junkies swinging and jumping, and soak up the atmosphere of this rainforest party!

Awesome. Be aware there is an insurance payment of $10 on the day. Team at AJ Hackett were more than happy to accomodate a date change, which was great.
The swing itself was amazing. We went with 3 people on the swing, just 7kg under the maximum amount. This means we had a really fast swing. Lots of fun, recommend it for sure.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death and has negative health impacts on people at all stages of life. It harms unborn babies, infants, children, adolescents, adults and seniors. Surprisingly, at least a quarter of the United States' population still continues to light up, says the CDC.
Cigarette smoking has decreased over the years by at least 50 percent (nearly 45 percent of the population smoked during the 1960s). But there are those who continue to put themselves at risk despite the warnings of doctors, the government, friends and family. In addition, many smokers subject spouses and children to secondhand smoke, needlessly endangering not only themselves, but their loved ones as well.
Smoking has many health implications. Here are a few to consider, courtesy of the U.S. Surgeon General:
Cancer-causing agents (carcinogens) in tobacco smoke damage important genes that control the growth of cells, causing them to grow abnormally or to reproduce too rapidly.
The carcinogen benzoapyrene binds to cells in the airways and major organs of smokers.
Smoking affects the function of the immune system and may increase the risk for respiratory and other infections.
Nicotine reaches the brain within 10 seconds after smoke is inhaled. It has been found in every part of the body and in breast milk.
By smoking around infants, smokers put them at a greater risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
The body produces antioxidants to help repair damaged cells. Smokers have lower levels of antioxidants in their blood than do nonsmokers.
Cigarette smoking has been linked to many illnesses, including heart disease and stroke. Smoking can cause coronary heart disease, which results from atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries. Toxins in the blood from smoking cigarettes contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a progressive hardening of the arteries caused by the deposit of fatty plaques and the scarring and thickening of the artery wall. Inflammation of the artery wall and the development of blood clots can obstruct blood flow and cause heart attacks or strokes.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death and was among the first diseases linked to smoking, says the surgeon general. Cigarette smoking is responsible for most cases of death in conjunction with cancer. It can cause lung cancer as well as cancers in the mouth, throat and bladder. Men who smoke are more likely to develop lung cancer than their female counterparts - yet the risk is high regardless of age or sex.
Smoking can affect reproduction and fertility in a number of ways. It has been shown that smoking can make it harder for women to get pregnant. Should a woman get pregnant, smoking can cause many problems to the fetus and complicate the pregnancy. Pregnant women who smoke are more likely to have placental abruption, where the placenta prematurely separates from the wall of the uterus. This can lead to preterm delivery, stillbirth or early infant death. In babies who make it to term, smoking can cause low birth weight and birth defects. Yet despite these warnings, only 20 to 25 percent of women quit smoking upon learning they are pregnant, says the CDC.
Nicotine is a very potent chemical. Some argue that it produces a greater physical addiction than heroin or cocaine. Nicotine produces a feeling of euphoria in smokers. Once the drug reaches the brain, it can cause a calming and soothing feeling, which is what draws many people back for more. Yet, smoking can be stopped if an individual is committed to quitting. There are a number of nicotine replacement products available that can help smokers gradually wean off of cigarettes. Just keep in mind that it can take up to 72 hours for full nicotine detoxification to take place in the body - releasing a smoker from the physical withdrawal symptoms. However, the mental dependence could be equally as strong.
Quitting smoking at any stage in a smoking career provides immediate health benefits. An individual's chances for contracting diseases drop and, with time, his or her lungs can gradually heal themselves and function properly again. For help in quitting, visit the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org, or the American Lung Association at http://www.lungusa.org/.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
Many coaches working with what EU men's basketball coach Brad Barton had to work with would have called it a rebuilding year. It was Barton's first season as head coach and he only had one true returning player for last year's squad and one reserve player to fill his roster. Team recruiting was done by his predecessor and what he had for players was what he had.
But Barton never had one minute of doubt that his group of talent could gel into a team that would be a contender. And they did give it a great ride until their season ended in the second round of the Region 18 tournament at the hands of Salt Lake Community College with an 86-72 loss.
EU got to the second round with a bye for finishing second in Scenic West Athletic Conference play this season. They were an eyelash from being region champs as they lost in double overtime to CSI. Now instead of facing off against NIC, they had to take on the Bruins of Salt Lake. Each battle with them had come down to the final minutes of play and EU owned the series with two of three wins.
Another battle began on Friday afternoon and it was close to even as the teams broke for the locker room with the score 39-38. But then EU struggled from the line and missed critical free throws while Salt Lake made 11. EU only managed to make 29 percent from the field in the final period as well as the Bruins began scorching the net with close to 50 percent shooting.
Jonathan Mills finished his EU career with one final double-double with 13 points and 19 rebounds. Maxim Zakharov led all scorers with 28 points. Mills was the SWAC leading rebounder averaging over 10 a game.
"Despite not making it to the championship, it was a very successful season," stated coach Barton. "We were one second away from the SWAC championship. Even in our final game I though the effort was good. We had 12 less free throw attempts and only made half of what we had. A lot of breaks didn't go our way. This is a tough league and even when you are playing well you need to have some good fortune to help out."
The double overtime loss to CSI for the conference title was probably the hardest game for the team but Barton used it as a teaching tool for his players. He reminded them that they needed to learn from all the good and bad that happens and apply it to their lives.
"It was one of those games they can grow from." he added.
When asked about next season and if he was coming back he enthusiastically replied, "Heck yeah! For as long as they will have me. I have a chip on my shoulder now, because I knew we could have gone all the way and I am motivated to do better. We had the best recruiting class year last season and it was made easier by the success the last team had. I feel we are already ahead of that this season and we will have another great team hit the floor next year."

MORRISTOWN – An Ogdensburg City School district Board of Education member says a merger between Ogdensburg Free Academy and Morristown Central School is the best solution for both districts financial problems.
But David J. Glover, superintendent at Morristown Central School, is holding out hope for a regional high school with Heuvelton and Hermon-DeKalb central schools.
We are knee-deep in conversations regarding regional high schools, Mr. Glover said Monday.
Mr. Glover said regional high schools are incredibly attractive to small school districts because they enable the community to preserve some sense of identity.
In the regional high school approach you still have your elementary school, said Mr. Glover.
Mr. Glover also said there are potential savings to be had by instituting a regional high school. Cutting out administrative and teaching staff redundancies are primary examples.
There is a hurdle in the way of establishing a regional high school: currently there is no legal way for schools to set them up.
Betty J. Mallott, a member of the Ogdensburg Board of Education, thinks she has a solution.
We have the regional high school sitting right here, she said of Ogdensburg Free Academy.
The state does permit school districts to merge, and Mrs. Mallott said this is an ideal solution to both districts financial problems.
At Novembers Board of Education meeting, Ogdensburg City School District Business Manager Jeffrey R. Swanson said the school district will have exhausted its $1.9 million fund balance by June 2014.
In Morristown the school has roughly $1.7 million in its fund balance.
Mr. Glover said he expects that figure to be significantly reduced in next years budget.
Mr. Glover said Morristown has already cut as much as it can without sacrificing a basic education.
Were trying to maintain the core of our academic program, he said. Were to the point where the next cut will impact something we cant tolerate anymore.
Mrs. Mallott, noting that OFA has space to accommodate extra students because of its own declining enrollment, said she would like to see area high schools send their students to Ogdensburg.
Currently Ogdensburg has 1,800 students, down from 2,400 several years ago.
OFA has all kinds of facilities that arent being used, said Mrs. Mallott.
Mrs. Mallott believes struggling high schools, like Morristown, would be ideal to merge with OFA.
Just bring the high school. Leave the school intact for the elementary, she said.
She said doing so would maintain the communitys sense of school identity.
Mr. Glover said Morristown, Heuvelton, Hermon-DeKalb and the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services are currently studying how much money could be saved with a regional high school.
The studys results are expected next summer.
But it wont matter if the state Legislature doesnt pass legislation enabling schools to set them up.
On the fast track youre talking two to three years, said Mr. Glover, adding that its more likely to take up to five years for a regional high school to materialize even if the state passes new laws in 2013.
At the same time, Mr. Glover said Morristown is four to five years away from bankruptcy.
Mrs. Mallott said she sees a merger between Ogdensburg and Morristown, and other schools who want to join in, as the best and fastest way forward.
Morristown students, she notes, drive right by our high school to go to BOCES. Their kids play with our kids for Kiwanis and Lions Club sports.
We have already a regional high school, she said. We just dont have the kids.

With thousands of foreign jihadists flooding into Syria to wage a Western-backed "holy war" against the secular Bashir al-Assad regime, new research suggests the war-ravaged nation could be on its way to becoming a breeding ground for dangerous Islamic extremists that might rival even Iraq and Afghanistan. According to a report released this week, hundreds of European Muslims have also joined the Obama administration-supported Islamist "rebels" in Syria — presenting a significant potential terror threat to the West when the well-trained and battle-hardened militants return home.
Estimates compiled by the London-based International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) suggest the foreign-funded "regime change" operation in Syria has mobilized Muslims around the world to a "significant" extent. Relying on more than 450 Western and Arab media sources as well as "martyrdom notices" posted online, the ICSR found that up to 600 Europeans have gone to fight in the war. According to the report, more than 10 percent of the foreign fighters could be coming from Europe.
"As with previous conflicts, the picture is far from complete and will probably remain so for years to come," noted the ICSR insight report on foreign "rebels" waging war in Syria authored by Aaron Zelin, also a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. "There is no 'true census' of foreign fighters, and publicly available sources are inevitably incomplete. As a result, the figures range considerably."
According to the estimates compiled by ICSR, the country with the most Muslims traveling to Syria for the war effort is the United Kingdom, which produced up to 134 "rebels" to fight the Assad regime. Next in line was the Netherlands, with the figures showing that over 100 Islamic Dutch citizens may have joined the Western-backed "revolutionaries." France, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and other nations all had significant numbers of citizens involved in the so-called "revolution" as well.

Plea deal: Tennance Buckingham to testify against Kevin Harper
YAKIMA, Wash. -- Prosecutors struck a deal Thursday with a man suspected of involvement in the West Valley triple murder case. Tennance Buckingham pleaded guilty to helping Kevin Harper get rid of a stolen laptop that belonged to the Goggin family.
Police found the family brutally murdered in their home back in 2011. Buckingham initially lied about knowing Harper or ever receiving the computer from the Goggins house.
According to the agreement, Tennance Buckingham will testify against Kevin Harper who prosecutors said is once again the main suspect in the case.
Buckingham pleaded guilty to 1st degree trafficking stolen property and 1st degree rendering criminal assistance.
He agreed to an eight-month jail sentence. Prosecutors agreed to give him credit for time served. That means he will not be sent back to jail unless he fails to testify against Harper.
Buckingham will be sentenced in September.
Prosecutors said they are working to refile murder charges against Harper. They struck a deal with Harper last October when they said a new witness came forward that changed the timeline of events.
Per the agreement, Harper would have pleaded guilty to unlawfully possessing a firearm, and possession of stolen property, for having the Goggins' stolen credit cards.
In February, prosecutors dismissed their case against Tracy Culton, another suspect who was being held in connection with the murders. Since then, nobody has been charged with the Goggins' murders.
Friends of the Goggin family said they're still waiting for justice.
"There's a wonder if, does he know something more than they've been able to learn?" said Ray Vanderwall, a family friend.
What happened to the other players in the case?
»Crystal West, Kevin Harper's wife, was charged with rendering criminal assistance and attempted rendering criminal assistance. Those charges were dropped as part of her husband's plea deal.
»Grady Mitchell was arrested on unrelated charges last year, but has no charges pending in the Goggin case. He's not in custody.
From then to now: Timeline of events
A quick look at the twists and turns which all began more than two years ago.
- February 18th, 2011: The bodies of the three victims were found inside the gated community of Falcon Ridge.
- March 2nd, 2011: Kevin Harper was arrested for the crime.
- April 2011: Investigators said Tennance Buckingham was caught with items stolen from the Goggin home. He was arrested.
- May 2011: Harper's wife Crystal West was accused of destroying evidence.
- June 2011: Tracy Culton first came into the picture. Investigators initially arrested her for burglary. She was charged with the murders by August.
- August 2012: Kevin Harper's trial started and stopped on the same day when his attorney said they'd no longer waive the right to a speedy trial.
- October 2012: The move that no one saw coming. Harper makes a plea deal with prosecutors who dropped all murder charges against him. He has not been sentenced, but is likely to get seven-years for the lesser crimes he agreed to.
- February 8th, 2013: Murder charges dropped against Tracy Culton. Leaving no one on the hook for this triple murder.
- April 19th, 2013: Prosecutors said they planned to revoke the plea deal with Kevin Harper and refile charges against him.
- May 9th, 2013: Prosecutors strike a plea deal with Tennance Buckingham who agrees to testify against Harper.

A town judge finds computer software guilty of slowing the wheels of justice in his court.
It took LeRay Town Justice George E. Mead III 17 months and 17 days from the date of a trial, Aug. 22, 2011, to render a not-guilty verdict for Jan B. LaRock, who had been charged with third-degree assault while she was assistant superintendent of the Carthage Central School District.
Mrs. LaRock, who retired from her position with the district in September 2011, had a one-day nonjury trial on allegations that on Sept. 18, 2009, in front of her West Carthage home, she thrust a car door against Ryan M. Beirman, West Carthage, injuring his left leg and arm. Mr. Beirman was getting into his car after having attempted to serve Mrs. LaRock with a subpoena intended for her daughter, Trisha Covey.
Justice Mead, dating his ruling Feb. 9, dismissed the charge. He said Friday he found that Assistant District Attorney Rodney W. Kyle did not meet the burden of creditable proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
But what took so long, the judge was asked.
After testimony was closed, Justice Mead adjourned the matter to allow the prosecuting and defense attorneys to file summations and motions. Mr. Kyle and defense attorney Dennis G. OHara needed transcripts of digitally recorded testimony before they could prepare their documents for the judge, and that is where justice went into a silent stall, Justice Mead said.
Three times, the court prepared CDs containing testimony and, each time, a transcriptionist reported she was getting nothing off the discs, he said.
Initially, we didnt know about it, he said. Finally, after the court started asking about the holdup, the transcriptionists issues were revealed.
After a subsequent CD was prepared, we knew the testimony was there because we tested it, he said. But the transcriptionist still said there was nothing there.
The judge concluded, It had to be something with her software.
With the continued failures, the attorneys agreed to make their summations and motions without benefit of a transcript, he said.

The former police chief of the Orlando suburb where Tiger Woods lived and had infamous auto accident has been sentenced to a year in jail for official misconduct.
Former Windermere Police Chief Daniel Saylor on Friday was ordered to serve three years of probation after his release and was to pay $5,000 in investigative and court costs.
If he qualifies for a work release program, Saylor could avoid jail. He had faced a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in state prison.
Saylor was arrested earlier this year after a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation accused him of halting a child-sex investigation into a friend and urging one of his officers to destroy records.
He was fired from his job and lost his police certification.

EU and US call for input on regulatory issues for possible future trade agreement Publicado em: 11/09/2012
EU and US senior officials are today asking for concrete suggestions on how to make regulatory regimes more compatible across the Atlantic. Most businesses want to limit regulatory costs and red tape caused by differences in regulations, standards or conformity assessment procedures on both sides of the Atlantic. Reducing non-tariff and behind the border barriers is therefore a key issue in transatlantic trade.
The EU-US High Level Working Group on Jobs and Growth is looking into these issues and would welcome more detailed input before 31 October 2012.

Nothing creates the illusion of success quite like subsidies. And no place in the country has a better record for booms that bust than the western United States.
Think gold. Think oil. Think celluloid.
For a while, everybody wants the glamour. Everybody imagines the bucks. Everybody wants to get in on the act.
But guess what? Subsidies are one hard act to sustain and a harder act to follow.
There's a bigger fool born every minute; foolish state governments are in perpetual session. Those that are fresh and relatively unburned by dream weavers and those that are attracted by bright and shiny things, are bound to make a better offer sooner or later.
What happens when New Mexico's rundown urban locations representing the '70s go out of style, just like the so-called open spaces of the Wild West when they ran out of horse operas?
Filmmakers are overpaid or underpaid like everybody else in this economy. Celebrity filmmakers can usually go where they want. As a rule, though not always, the risk-takers and the subprime talent are more likely to go where there's an inducement.

CLAYTON Once fierce high school hockey rivals, Alexandria and Thousand Islands continue to combine forces on the ice.
In its second campaign known as the Islanders, the team has been competitive, but the idea of a combined squad still hasnt been entirely accepted in the two river communities.
Senior right wing Zach Walti says his father hates the idea, while junior right wing Evan Diers dad has accepted the team concept.
The community has really had a mixed reaction, said Walti, a student at Alexandria. A lot of young people thought it was a really good idea because there were diminishing numbers. But some older people like my dad didnt really like it because they were fierce rivals they were pretty dead set against it.
But others are seeing the merits to such a merger.
My dad, who also played hockey, liked the idea more, said Dier, who attends Thousand Islands. And getting guys together on the same team helps bring the community together more. Theyre working on this in football and I think this has worked well in hockey.
Representing two hockey crazy towns, the Islanders continue to grow as a team, as does their following in both Alexandria Bay and Clayton.
For years, Thousand Islands and Alexandria Bay have been rivals, Islanders coach Joe Eppolito said. It has been fierce over the years and over the course of the past five or six years, theres still a good nucleus of diehard people in both communities that still live and die by the colors of both schools.
I think cooler heads are starting to prevail and the river communities are starting to embrace this team.
The hockey team remains the only athletic merger between the two schools, which continue their rivalry against each other in other sports.
I figured it was going to have to happen at some point, Walti said. Both T.I. and the Bay had low numbers, so this was the right move so we both could be competitive again.
It used to be really intense, Dier said of the rivalry. I was never on a team when it was really bad to the point where there was pure hatred between each other, but it was still a good rivalry.
The Islanders sport the colors of both schools Alexandrias purple and white and the gold and blue of Thousand Islands.
The team isnt playing any favorites, either, as the Islanders, who also partner with General Brown and LaFargeville, play half their games at Alexandria Bay Ice Arena, and the balance of their schedule at the Clayton Recreation Park Arena.
The kids have actually played together in minor hockey for a number of seasons, Eppolito said. So even though some of them competed against each other when the rivalry still existed on the ice, this has evolved into a camaraderie, so this is all pretty positive.
Most recently, the Islanders battled to a tie through overtime with Hilton in the consolation game of the Islanders holiday tournament last Saturday, with the opposition prevailing in a shootout.
A collaborative effort in hockey isnt anything new in the north country, as Immaculate Heart Central and Ontario Bay, who compete in Section 3, both sport rosters from several different schools.
Eppolito which said the Islanders were born primarily because of financial reasons, sees this as the wave of the future in scholastic hockey as school districts further combine their hockey teams.
The first two seasons have been a challenge, Eppolito said. Its always interesting to try and put players together that are coming from different communities and different sets of rules and guidelines. But we think its the right thing to do in looking down the road in order for us to build our program and to remain competitive, this is something were going to have to continue to do.
Eppolito, a longtime head hockey coach at Thousand Islands, is joined by assistant coaches Chris Marshall, a former Alexandria head hockey coach, and Mike James, who has ties to both Alexandria and General Brown.
Both schools certainly have a history of success in hockey over the years, including a run by Thousand Islands to the Division II state title game in 2008. After the two teams combined, the Islanders moved up to Division I. But after a merger agreement with Carthage ended, the Islanders are in Division II this season.
When the two teams combined, it definitely amped up the competition between friends at the same school, Walti said. Before it was just the two teams, but the first year there were so many kids competing for a spot on the team.
Again skating in Section 10 after they reached the section Division I title game last year to complete a 10-11-1 campaign, the Islanders have been competitive this season as their past two regulation losses have been by one-goal margins.
This was the right thing to do because we were having trouble hanging with teams like Massena and Potsdam, Dier said. We just didnt have enough talent because of the low numbers and it was hard, but now things are getting better.

Deputies said that when they responded to a disturbance complaint, Mr. Simpson became irate at them and at others in the residence. The weapons then were discovered in his possession, deputies said.

Even I, a prophet, could not interpret this vision from his noodliness. Can any of you noodly inclined people interpret it for me.
In my dream, I was laying in a garbage dumster. All of a sudden, mud began dripping from the ceiling. Then, I hear the dumbster being rolled into a hotel. As the man who was rolling the dumbster was checking in, the man at the desk said, "The turkey will manifest itself before the noodle snatches the bold eagal."
After he had checked in, he met another men who told him, "Behold, the one who comes in the name of culture. He shall be of many legs. Let him who have knowledge eat upon his breasts."
Likewise in the same manner, three nights later as he was checking out of the hotel, I looked out of the dumbster and saw the doors speak. They said, "Who is worthy of the great chicken who will submit to the noodle that taketh away the farts of the beasts that roameth upon narnia. Will the lion fight the noodly one?"
And finally, I was rolled back into where I was before. The guy opened the dumbster and told me, "The wardrobe leads to his noodliness. Go there, for the king and the lord are in battle."
Ooops, sorry I put this in the wrong catagory. Could someone fix it?

(WZZM) - If you've tried to purchase 100 or 75 watt incandescent light bulbs lately, you might have noticed they're hard to find. That's because the government is getting rid of them.
According to Cindy Wells of Home Depot, the government isn't stopping there. "Probably in due time, they're going to keep phasing them out."
There are three main alternatives, and the first to come out was halogen.
"This one is used a lot for flood lights, your canned lights and any of your small spectrum lights," said Wells. You'll pay a little more, usually at-least $1.50 per bulb and the savings are decent -they use 28% less energy to run. They'll also last a little longer than traditional incandescent. However, if you're really looking to see a drop in your power bills, you'll want to switch to one of the other two options.
"I would point them to the CFLs. It doesn't hit so hard in your pocketbook right off the bat, yet you're going to start saving energy and saving on your electric bill. The payback time is about three to six months," said Wells.
CFLs or Compact Fluorescents are 75% more efficient than incandescent bulbs, last ten times longer and the price is close to the price of halogens. In fact, sometimes you can get them cheaper, even less than$1 per bulb. Wells says there used to be two main complaints with CFLs but not anymore.
"They started out looking like this and a lot of people were turned off by them and then they came out with some that look more like a regular lightbulb. And inside, it still has a curly-cue but it's encapsulated by a regular looking lightbulb so they did get nicer looking. They do have a very small amount of mercury in them.A lot of people were concerned about that, but you get more mercury in a can of tuna fish than you do in the lightbulbs," according to Wells.If you go with CFLs, you should dispose of them properly, at the store in which you purchased them.
Lastly, the one that hurts the most, will also help you the most. LEDs cost anywhere from $9 to $45 per bulb, but offer 85% energy savings over incandescent bulbs. That equates to nearly $150 savings per bulb, according to Wells. They can last more than twenty years. If you've tried LEDs in the past and didn't like the light they put off, Wells says those have improved drastically and there are many different options.Wells says they're also great for hard-to-reach spots, since you don't have to worry about changing them often.
"In essence, you could buy one right now for an infant's bedroom and by the time he goes to college, you will replace it then. By the time their kids go to college, they're going to save so much money, they're going to be able to afford college."

Staff Reports
CRAFTSBURY-The Craftsbury Academy varsity basketball teams both had games this past Friday and Saturday, and for the most part, the results were pretty favorable.
Both teams defeated Concord on Friday.
First up it was the girls, who came away with the 66-27 win, led by Janet Bohannon, who had a game-high 28 points.
In the night cap, the boys picked up the 65-52 win.
Chris DeLaBruere had 23 points and 17 rebounds to lead the way, while Austin Massi added 22.
On Saturday, the boys were up first, as they took on Twinfield.
Things did not go as well for the boys on this night, as they tasted defeat for the first time, losing 56-41.
"We came out playing great defense, and we held Twinfield to 5 points in the fourth quarter," said CA coach Derek Cipriano. "We knew they were a very good rebounding team and tried to limit their second chance points, but they made some adjustments defensively after the first quarter and made it uncomfortable for us."
Paul Saaman had 16 points in the loss, as the boys move to 3-1 on the year.
The girls had a much better outcome in their game as they handed Chelsea a 42-16 defeat.
"We were firing on all cylinders and really did little wrong in this game," said CA coach Rick Thomas.
Bohannon had 13 points, and Thalia Thomas 8.
The girls will be in action on Monday against Twinfield, and both teams will face Cabot on Friday night, starting with the girls at 5:30 and the boys at 7:00.

POTSDAM The town is considering following the adage two heads are better than one for code enforcement.
For much of 2013, the town has had what Supervisor Marie C. Regan calls one and a half code enforcement officers. James A. Plumley, 69, is the primary code enforcement officer, and Michael D. Boysuk works part-time.
Mike Boysuk has been the assistant code enforcement technician, and hes been taking courses towards being a code enforcement officer, Ms. Regan said. He finished his last course. The next week he took the test, scored highest in the county with a 90. Ive very pleased and proud for him.
She said the budget doesnt include a raise for Mr. Boysuk, but the town could give him the title of code enforcement officer. It also could wait until 2014 to appoint him and include a salary increase in the next budget.
Ms. Regan said Mr. Boysuk should have the title sooner rather than later.

The shoes weÂ're currently coveting are a combination of many thingsÂ--some are a little subversive, others are a bit chasteÂ--but no matter what, theyÂ're laced (up, that is). If youÂ've checked out the fall fashion coverage, you surely noticed the vast number of shows, like Alexander Wang and BCBG Max Azria, featuring ankle boots. While at first glance, the lace up might seem to fall under this shoe-style umbrella, we think they require their own category, thanks to the sheer diversity of styles.
TodayÂ's images showcase the variety of lace ups and the undercurrents each look implies. When theyÂ've got a heel and lots of laces, as seen on Sienna Miller, above, they have a very naughty Victorian air. The gray patent version Gwyneth Paltrow wore reference menswear (they remind us of a stylish version of military dress oxfords), while Miss Moss picked a punky pair (try saying that five times, fast). We are especially fond of the orthopedic vibe of Carrie BradshawÂ's shoes as well.
If youÂ're interested in a peep-toe pair like CarrieÂ's, take a gander at Vince CamutoÂ's Maran Oxfords ($129.99). These patent leather, high heeled lace ups come in dark gray, dark red and black and have a hidden platform for greater foot comfort. Girls who want GwynethÂ's gray shoes should take a look at Circa Joan & DavidÂ's Sage Oxford Pump ($128.95). TheyÂ're made out of suede, resulting in a softer look than PaltrowÂ's pair. SiennaÂ's prim-and-proper heels are by Burberry, but we think Ash's Travis Lace Up Pumps are kindred spirit shoes ($185).

Will the Jets Rally Behind Rex?
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
With New York Jets on there bye week, Kristian Dyer writes for CBS New York that while the Jets have been through a tumultuous first half of their season, there's more reason to hope than might seem apparent right now. Dyer looks at the Jets upcoming schedule and reminds us of the Jets recent close contests and how that might play out in the coming weeks.
Now the Jets have a manageable stretch of the season where they can do some potential damage and perhaps roll off some wins. Their next six opponents have a combined record of 20-27 and no one has a better record than the 5-3Patriots, whom the Jets took to overtime on the road two weeks ago.
That's not exactly a brutal schedule and five wins is very possible if the Jets play like the team that went toe-to-toe with the Texans on Monday night a couple weeks ago and then almost took down the Patriots at Gillette Stadium. This Jets team is better than 3-5, but can they be playoff good?
It's hard for me to look much past the Seahawks. The Seahawks are only 4-4 but are a dominant team when they are firing on all cylinders. I get the feeling that they will be a tough, but maybe tone-setting game for the Jets second half. While Seattle's offense is ordinary this season, their defense is something special and the Jets will be playing in the highly hostile environment of Seattle. Their "12th man' is a real advantage.
If the Dolphins game was a must win, then this game is for their survival. Beyond the Seattle and New England games, there's none on the schedule that really scare me assuming the Jets can get their act together. That's also a key focus for Dyer on his piece, who says that this season's viability now relies on the coach.
Now with their backs up against the wall, Ryan and only Ryan can rally his team. Only he can show them in no uncertain terms that despite their record, there is a viable path to the postseason for this team. There's little room for mistakes or errors or even losses, but the Jets can do it and they can unite behind Ryan as the storm clouds from earlier this season get blown away.
And in that, Dyer is exactly right. The margins for error are so small at this point that anything more than one loss over the next month will put them on very shaky ground. If there's any consolation, it's that the AFC looks comparatively weak this year. If Ryan can pull this team together and focus their energy, there's a shot … but the window is shutting on this team quickly if Ryan can't get his players to rally.
It's now or never.

LOWVILLE Despite having more concrete numbers, Lewis County legislators remain split on whether to proceed with a proposed $10 million office building project on outer Stowe Street.
Were caught between a rock and a hard place, Legislature Vice Chairman William J. Burke, R-West Lowville, said at a meeting Monday morning, noting that both pro- and anti-construction arguments are compelling.
Following about an hours worth of discussion on the matter, Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan, encouraged his fellow lawmakers to play with the numbers a little more and admitted he wasnt sure exactly when the board will be ready to make a final decision.
Low bids for construction of the project came in last week at about $9 million, resulting in a $10 million price tag when contingency and project management are figured in.
According to projections compiled by county fiscal adviser Venesky and Co., state Department of Social Services funding would cover $5.2 million of the project, or more than one-third of the $14.7 million cost in principal and interest over 20 years.
In the first year following completion of the project, the state would cover $411,000 of the $735,000 debt service payment, but that reimbursement would be reduced over time, County Treasurer Patricia L. OBrien said.
County Attorney Richard J. Graham said that a state Environmental Quality Review and bonding resolution should be able to be completed in time for the Legislatures Oct. 1 meeting. However, even if those actions are approved, the project would not move forward unless the board chooses to award construction contracts, he said.
Legislators in March voted only 6-4 to put the two-story office building project out to bid. And while most lawmakers expressed that the bid total was a good outcome, several suggested it hadnt changed their minds on the feasibility of the project.
I voted no before, and Ill vote no again, said Legislator Philip C. Hathway, R-Harrisville.
Mr. Hathway said he believes the building project and an ongoing emergency radio system project both could be feasible, with extra revenue from a planned sales tax rate hike now being threatened by a bureaucratic snafu to cover the costs.
However, county property taxes still may have to go up at the maximum amount allowable under state tax cap constraints to keep up with rising regular expenses, and the county already is carrying a large debt load given recent capital projects done by it and the municipal hospital, he said.
I think it would be more appropriate to do either one project or the other, Mr. Hathway said.
When Mr. Tabolt asked her opinion, Mrs. OBrien offered a similar sentiment, cautioning lawmakers about incurring too much debt.
Legislator Paul M. Stanford, D-Watson, who long has opposed the project, contended that more work must be done to address some village concerns, including possible Stowe Street upgrades.
Our sole job is to do whats right for the county for the long haul, countered Legislator Richard C. Lucas, R-Barnes Corners. I think this is prudent.
Mr. Lucas said the county continues to lease space that, in many cases, is inadequate for its needs, and rental costs continue to rise each year.
All were doing is passing on to future boards the responsibility to do something to house our departments, he said.
The radio project could be done in phases, as grant money becomes available, to avoid a hefty county expense, Mr. Lucas said.
Legislator Jack T. Bush, R-Brantingham, chairman of the legislative Buildings and Grounds Committee, said he believes the county wont ever get a better opportunity to build, adding that there may be some opportunity for value engineering, or working with contractors to seek cost reductions.
With that in mind, that $10 million figure will hopefully be less than that, he said.
Legislators on Monday did agree on one thing. They voted 8-0 to appoint Deer River Republican Craig P. Brennan to the vacant District 3 seat to effectively replace the late Legislator Charles R. Fanning, R-Copenhagen, who died while in office in July.
Legislator Jerry H. King, R-West Leyden, was excused from the meeting for jury duty.
Mr. Brennan was the lone candidate left on the general election ballot in District 3 after defeating Gerald S. Snyder, Mr. Fannings nephew by marriage, in a GOP primary.
Your first assignment is to get us out from between a rock and a hard place, Mr. Tabolt told Mr. Brennan.
The new lawmaker promised only to educate himself on the issue as quickly as possible to make an informed decision.

A magnificent gown is a terrible thing to waste, so we were quite excited to see that despite the Golden Globes situation, many fine frocks still got the spotlight this weekend at The Art of Elysium's anniversary party. No matter if the above dresses were specifically chosen for the gala or not, it's still interesting to see the red carpet trends and note which spring trends are starting to show up.
1. Joy Bryant
The lovely Ms. Bryant was the epitome of spring chic in Zac Posen's Mistral gown. The vivid color and romantic ruffles on her dress are spot-on seasonal trends and she added a youthful touch to her sophisticated dress with an oversized cocktail ring on her index finger.
2. Kirsty Hume
The eternally stunning Hume looked just as picture perfect as we expect from a former model. She chose a delicate black dress with cream lace details by Temperley London. The Napoleon Lace Honeysuckle gown is from Temperley's A/W Black Label Collection. Hume emphasized the vintage feeling of the dress by keeping her hair and makeup modern and accessories simple.
3. Rumor Willis
The lack of Globes must have been particularly distressing to this year's Miss Golden Globe, Rumor Willis-perhaps her black dress is a sign of mourning? We kid, we kid. Puns aside, Willis chose a J. Mendel gown from the Spring 08 collection with gorgeous draping and a slightly Grecian vibe. The dress features an embellished bodice, so Willis kept the rest of her look sleek (smart move).
4. Rachel Bilson
Enrobed in a slinky Christian Dior, Rachel Bilson (perennial WWWD reader favorite) looked ultra glam at the gala. Bilson rarely attends these sorts of super fancy events and normally doesn't wear long dresses, so it was a delight to see both situations happening at once. It's also worth noting that she incorporated some of Cartier's most interesting items, like shoulder-grazing earrings and a sizeable ring, for jewelry.
5. Rachel Zoe
We always watch what Rachel Zoe is wearing with interest, as she is one of the most powerful tastemakers in town. Her gown was in accordance with the most popular colors of the night (black and white) and we think the skirt of her dress is simply sublime.
6. Shiva Rose
One of our favorite things about Shiva Rose is her keen eye for vintage and unfailingly individualistic taste. Point in case: how many other women would wear (and look lovely in) a gold sequined cloche?
7. Lake Bell
We love the ingenuity of Lake Bell's outfit. Style.com reported that instead of borrowing a gown or leaving her look to the experts, Bell wore an ensemble of her own devising, comprised of a black Chanel bustier and floor-length vintage skirt she borrowed from her mom.
8. Monet Mazur
Monet Mazur made a sunny entrance in a lemon yellow dress by Juan Carlos Obando. She accessorized the slim column of her gown with Anita Ko jewelry and a jauntily-tied vintage fur stole around her shoulders.
9. Ali Larter
Like many other attendees (Rumer Willis, Rosario Dawson), Ali Larter turned to J. Mendel for her dress, choosing Look 31 from the S/S 08 collection. While the runway dress was shown in navy, Larter wore it white, and added long, simple, drop earrings.
10. Ashley Olsen
Finally, our last look belongs to the often-imitated Ashley Olsen. It seems Ms. Olsen agrees with our advice, as she wore a little leather (in this case, Rick Owens) jacket with her party dress! To keep things appropriately fancy, Olsen added a spangled clutch, a few ropes of pearls and gold around her neck, and some black liner on her inner lids.

First place winner Bryce Packer holding his nanoKEYS product
After what Director Dane Money called the "best awards banquet yet," a surprising five teams were awarded a total of $10,000 at this year's Utah State University Opportunity Quest. The judges decided that five ventures, instead of the standard three, were likely to grow and create jobs, thus resulting in a three-way tie for third place. The following prizes were awarded:
Student entrepreneurs attributed their success to hard work, mentorship, and support from the Clark Center for Entrepreneurship and the Entrepreneur Club.
"This year has been one of the most successful and enjoyable competitions we've ever had," said Mike Glauser, director of the Clark Entrepreneurship Center. "We have been very impressed with the teams' advanced business plans and the time and effort they put into their businesses."
Bryce Packer then took his winning idea and pitched it to the USTAR Go-to-Market Program and walked away with an additional $40,000 of funding.
