"LEISURE CLASS Palm Springs" greeting card by William Dey. Ships within 2 - 3 business days and includes a plain white envelop for mailing and/or gift giving. Available in vertical and horizontal orientations.
WDPS WILLIAM DEY PALM SPRINGS Welcome to my Retail Gallery and Store: I began my career working as a fashion stylist in Chicago, then moved to New York City, where I worked alongside some of the best photographers in the fashion industry for 12 years. During this period I was encouraged by professionals I knew to take advantage of my affinity for photography and visual composition. As soon as I began experimenting with the camera, I knew I had found my creative muse. I started shooting portraits and fashion models initially, but after relocating to Palm Springs several years ago, I felt compelled to begin shooting all the other beautiful things here in the desert, such as Mid-Century Modern architecture, classic cars, and the...

WATERTOWN A former staffer has filed a workers compensation claim against Republican candidate Matthew A. Doheny for injuries she suffered in a car accident during his 2012 campaign.
Alicia E. Sirk, 34, of Morrisonville, one of Mr. Dohenys first hires in his second bid for the seat held by Rep. William L. Owens, has a hearing Wednesday to determine whether she is eligible to receive benefit payments from the campaign. The hearing will be at the state Workers Compensation Board in Schenectady.
Mrs. Sirk is listed as a deputy campaign manager and director of campaign operations in documents from Mr. Dohenys 2012 run for the 21st Congressional District seat. She said that she and her husband were driving to a campaign event in Plattsburgh during a blizzard early one morning in February 2012 when her car fishtailed, left the road and flipped over. She said she suffered injuries to her neck, back, arm and hand.
Mrs. Sirk continued working for the Doheny campaign until the summer of 2012, but maintains that her injuries left her unable to perform full-time work since then.
According to Times archives, Mrs. Sirk left to become chairwoman of Karen M. Bissos Assembly campaign, citing many reasons for leaving the Doheny campaign.
David M. Catalfamo, a spokesman for Mr. Doheny, said Mrs. Sirk was fired in July 2012 and has brought several legal actions against the campaign in the ensuing years, including a wage and labor dispute that Mr. Doheny settled. He characterized the recent claim as an attempt to derail Mr. Dohenys current campaign and connected Mrs. Sirk with Mr. Dohenys 2014 primary opponent, Elise M. Stefanik.
Alicia Sirk is a disgruntled former campaign contractor who was terminated for failure to perform in July 2012. Since that time she has filed numerous legal actions against the 2012 campaign. Now that she is supporting Stefanik she has redoubled her efforts to sabotage the Doheny campaign, Mr. Catalfamo said in an email.
Mrs. Sirk took exception with that characterization and said she received praise for her work on the campaign from Mr. Doheny and others in the weeks leading up to her departure.
She said that she was a volunteer on Mrs. Bissos campaign and that she left the Doheny campaign because of differences in strategy and a dispute over wages and reimbursements.
She also denied any involvement with the Stefanik campaign. Anthony Pileggi, director of operations for the Stefanik campaign, also denied there was an official connection.
Alicia is in no way formally a part of the Elise for Congress campaign, Mr. Pileggi wrote in an email.
To a great extent, the issue hinges on whether Mrs. Sirk was employed by the Doheny campaign as an independent contractor.
Mrs. Sirk contends she was a full-time employee, while the Doheny campaign maintains she worked as a contractor. On October 5, 2012, the unemployment insurance division of the New York state Department of Labor determined that Mrs. Sirk was an employee of the campaign for the purposes of receiving unemployment benefits.
Records show that Mrs. Sirk received a check for $34,383 from the Department of Labor for reimbursements and unpaid wages on April 17, 2013. According to Federal Elections Commission records, the Doheny campaign paid $1,275 to the Department of Labor for the purpose of Employee Matter Resolution. Mrs. Sirk notes the amount as part of a fine imposed on the campaign for breaking labor laws.
Ms. Sirk, who also worked on Mr. Dohenys 2010 run, said that the campaign started out fine but that it eventually became a nightmare.

Your Who What Wear editors (especially one in particular) have long been devotees of the original Beverly Hills 90210 TV series, so you could say there's a bit of an office bias about the current installment. Is it silly? Without questionÂ--but old alliances aren't easily broken, at least not when it comes to something with such personal impact. But after a multi-season embargo, change is in the air thanks to a new 90210 cast member who has given us cause to open our minds: Gillian Zinser. The New York-raised actress has amazing personal style; it's a little bit of Erin Wasson's model-off-duty insouciance mixed with a dash of Sienna Miller's old-school bohemian proclivities. Whether Zinser is dressing up a vintage tee with a textured coat or toughening up a feminine frock with boyish accessories, the way she combines these two aesthetics to make her own version of California cool is definitely noteworthy, which is precisely why she has earned a spot on our fashion radar and is our October GOTM!
Perhaps the most exciting part of Zinser's sartorial endeavors is her willingness to experiment with playful prints. She certainly knows how to use them in a memorable and chic way, as demonstrated by the vintage multi-colored dress she wore to a private dinner at the Standard Hotel in Los Angeles back in July (top row, center). Her ankle-grazing caftan has a delightfully bold palette, perfect for someone with free-spirited style, while the low-slung belt, arm full of bangles, and black Zara wedge booties give the look a dash of downtown cool. A month later, we spotted Zinser in another noteworthy printÂ--this time, a semi-sheer pair of vintage cheetah trousersÂ--for the celebration of Nylon's denim issue (far right). The actress created a flashbulb-worthy outfit by teaming her peek-a-boo pants with a black American Apparel Cotton Spandex Jersey Tank Thong ($26), Rick Owens wedges, and an oversized button-down chambray shirt she borrowed from her father.
As you've probably started to realize by now, Zinser has a predilection for creating eye-catching outfits, but her abilities aren't limited to picking a noteworthy print. She also is adept at adding a bit of textural intrigue to her looks via dimensional outerwear. For example, this past spring Zinser attended a launch party for Cynthia Rowley's collaboration with Roxy wearing a simple tank top and a pair of Cheap Monday jeans (bottom row, right). These classic pieces got a huge upgrade by her addition of a shaggy Cynthia Rowley Monster Girl Evening Coat ($1200) and the designer's Fringed Leather Handbag ($475), both excellent picks that are anything but basic. Even when such heavy layers aren't necessary, Zinser incorporates lightweight outerwear options that have a bohemian spirit into her ensembles, much like the burnt orange velvet and lace Steven Overstreet cardigan she wore to the Entertainment Weekly and Women In Film Pre-Emmy party back in August (top row, far left). It's so much cooler than your typical long cardigÂ--no?
And while our up-and-coming starlet's casual clothing options are definitely worthy of praise, her fancier dress-to-impress picks are just as memorable. It's worth noting that Zinser is not one to favor girlish cocktail dresses; instead, she's partial to long hemlines and likes to toughen up her look with strong black accents. Case in point: the tie-dye vintage maxi dress she wore to The CW Upfront Presentation in New York back in May (top row, far right). Zinser paired the floor-length frock with a vintage leather motorcycle jacket for a very MOD look. And just two weeks ago, we spotted Zinser sporting a similar ensemble at Teen Vogue's annual Young Hollywood Party (bottom row, left). For that fabulous fete, Zinser styled a gorgeous vintage sequined dress with her favorite Rick Owens boots and a H&M hat for that quintessential hipster touch.
The best thing about Zinser's eccentric styleÂ--aside from the fact that it's interesting to look atÂ--is it's easy to emulate! If you're game to do just that, we suggest starting with her casual outfits, which are filled with vintage-inspired t-shirts and tanks. Chaser LA has plenty of worthy options, like the Grateful Dead Tank ($44) and the Van Halen Live Lion Burnout Tee ($58), but we're also fans of Sophomore's Memory Hotel T-Shirt ($85) too. Next, you will want to stock up on an assortment of Zinser-inspired outerwear pieces. Try BB Dakota's Branson Fringe Cardi ($88) or Winter Kate's Jasmine Velvet Cardy ($350) to emulate her bohemian, textured cardigan; additionally, you won't want to miss Nasty Gal's Sadie Faux-Fur Jacket ($78). It's a truly stellar find if you're looking to stay warm while looking cool this winter.
Now that we have Zinser's casual clothing covered, it's time to invest in a few notable print pieces to incorporate into your daily rotation. There's no doubt her vintage caftan is a statement-making frock, but Tucker's Senorita Lola Manz Tie Neck Dress ($318) is the perfect in-stock option with a similar flowy cut and vibrant print. Simply slip on a pair of flat ankle boots, like Etienne Aigner's Tomai Ankle Boots ($99) or Joie's Beau Cuff Booties ($263), and you'll give your ensemble a dose of Zinser's downtown attitude. If that particular print is too loud for your tastes, you might prefer Motel's Leopard Print Pants ($67) or Topshop's Leopard Tapered Trousers ($80). Pair either of those with a black tank top and an oversized shirt (we like J. Crew's Secret Wash Button-Down End-On-End Shirt ($60), personally) and your Zinser-inspired wardrobe is nearly complete.
Last, but certainly not least, you need a few red-carpet-worthy items for executing Zinser's look. Whether you prefer an ethereal floor-grazing dress like Adam's Long Tank Dress ($345) or something with a little more shimmer like Daslu Sao's Sequin Dress ($284), is up to you. Just make sure to style your pick with a few masculine piecesÂ--like Grace Newington's Fedora with Silk Band ($48), Topshop's Leather Biker Jacket ($270), or Calvin Klein's Charlee Ankle Boots ($169)Â--and you'll look as just as lovely as today's style subject!Â--Jessica Baker

ONAMIA, Minn. (KARE 11) -- Minnesota's strange spring has delivered another unusual weather phenomena to the shores of Lake Mille Lacs.
Strong winds have pushed huge ice sheets ashore at one of Minnesota's premiere fishing lakes and right up to people's doorsteps. In some cases, the ice has pushed through the buildings.
Pictures show the ice from Lake Mille Lacs reaching the doors and windows at Izatys Resort and other buildings on the southern shore Saturday morning.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Shawn Devinny says 30 to 40 mile an hour winds pushed the water into the ice, driving it ashore. He says the winds were lighter Sunday and the shoreline got a reprieve.
The Department of Natural Resources says about 10 miles of shoreline are covered with the huge piles of ice, with some reaching up to 30 feet high.

By the Chicago Bureau Chief
This is a story about Charlie Rose. This is a story about technology. This is a story about stories.
A Thought Experiment
Let's imagine for a second that you are Charlie Rose. You're the doyen of Manhattan Society. Why? Because you know everybody.
You count among your friends the world's millionaires and billionaires. Yet you pay yourself a wage barely sufficient to maintain respectability in their circles. You run your broadcast on a shoestring budget, and even that you have to go begging and schilling for.
You own little: a few tailored suits, an oak table – not even a pair of cuff links. So what's your most valuable asset (aside from your charisma)?
Thousand upon thousands of hours of filmed conversations with the greatest thinkers of the past twenty years. You've invested your entire life into them. You own the most interesting real-life stories narrated by the people who lived them.
There's little doubt that you want – nay, deserve to convert such a coveted asset into bankable cash. When TV was the only game in town, there was little you could do about it. Your broadcast is hardly broad enough for widespread commercial syndication. Plus, you're on PBS. The best you could do was to sell transcripts, VHS tapes, and then DVDs of your conversations.
But then the internet came around. You're Charlie Rose. You're no dope. You're obsessed with technology, to the point that you're willing to sacrifice your body for a gadget. You're aware of every impending development, and you've asked all the right people what each advance means for your future. You know, for example, that online streaming video could mean big business for a man in television.
But let's not forget: you're Charlie Rose. You're almost a public intellectual. You're a celebrity, but only among celebrities. You come from humble roots in North Carolina and you yearn to cast a wider net. Maybe it's not the Common Man who you want to include in your discussions, but it's sure as hell every last Good Ol' Boy you can find.
You yearn for popular appeal. You yearn for elitist inclusion. Which wins out? What do you do?
Here's what the real Charlie Rose did:
A Chronicle of Recent Internet Technology as it Relates to Charlie Rose
January 25, 2005: Google Video is launched. Its primitive functions offer only to searches the closed captions of various TV programs as well as the TV schedules in local markets.
April 23, 2005: The first video is uploaded to YouTube.
August 9, 2006: Charlie launches his YouTube channel with a five minute "Preview of Interview with YouTube Co-founders". It is a provocative move on Charlie's part to publish this new material on YouTube two days before it airs on PBS. Maybe.
The project of uploading episode previews, always CR's primary YouTube strategy, continues to this day.
August 11, 2006: The full interview with YouTube co-founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen hits the PBS airwaves.
October 9, 2006: Google purchases YouTube.
Sometime during 2007*: Charlie Rose's first upload of a full-length broadcast to video.google.com. He continues uploading his archive to Google Video for the next two years, clearly feeling that he has finally found a home for his vast fortune of material. Viewing is free to the internet public.
*video.google.com obfuscates the details such that we are unable to provide an exact date for this upload.
August 24, 2007: Through a special arrangement, Charlie Rose begins uploading full-length episodes to YouTube. Curiously, this begins with a 1996 interview with Harry Belafonte. The quality of the uploads is decidedly mixed, the audio consistently losing sync with the video about a quarter of the way through each broadcast.
The effort of uploading full CR episodes to YouTube seems to be abandoned just a few days later, after a total of about 10 episodes have been posted*. No rhyme, reason, or strategic thought can be discerned in the choice of episodes for this experiment.
*The editors of BATT.com, however, do recall there being many more full interviews on YouTube at one time.
September 20, 2007: The first inter-bureau e-mail including a link to a CR interview on Google Video is sent by the Los Angeles Bureau Chief. It announces a particularly combative interview that Charlie conducted with Francis Ford Coppola in 1994.
January 14, 2009: Google Video announces that within a matter of months it will no longer allow user uploads.
We Know Not When: charlierose.com launches. It includes embedded video clips.
July 7, 2009: The first inter-bureau e-mail to include a direct link to charlierose.com is sent by the New York Bureau Chief announcing an interview with Guillermo Del Toro. It is hosted by Google Video.
July 21, 2009: Charlie interviews the stunningly obnoxious-yet-entertaining Chris Anderson (the WIRED Mag guy, not the other one). During their boisterous conversation, Charlie laments his ability to monetize his media holdings.
July 31, 2009: Charlie Rose's final upload to video.google.com
August 1, 2009 – a few weeks later: Charlie Rose goes silent on the internet, Google Video's 7-month warning proving insufficient notice for his staff to locate a new server*. The blogosphere bemoans the loss.
*We suspect it was insufficiently personal as well: would it have killed Sergei to call Charlie personally? Even a text would have been helpful.
August 3, 2009: Charlie interviews Jason Kilar, CEO of hulu.com. He mentions that Hulu has approached the CRS about being included on the site.
Sometime in August 2009: charlierose.com adopts Flowplayer for video streaming. Flowplayer, a technology that had just gone public in March of '09, is a free, open-source software which allows streaming of videos hosted by the client*. It is also used by the Berlin Philharmonic, the Internet Movie Archive, and Spunkvideo.com.
August 21, 2009: The first inter-bureau e-mail to include a link to a charlierose.com interview with the flowplayer technology is sent by the Los Angeles Bureau Chief announcing a new interview with BATT favorite Quentin Tarantino.
January 3, 2011: Charlie interviews David Carr, technology writer for the New York Times, about technological developments to come in 2011. Charlie publicly states that one of his technology goals is to create a forum to "continue the conversation" beyond the walls of his studio.
January 7, 2011: is born, a web forum dedicated to continuing Charlie's conversations where he left off. It is the passion project of three geographically scattered Bureau Chiefs with a penchant for e-mailing one another links to Charlie Rose episodes.
February 25, 2011: hulu.com begins offering regularly broadcast Charlie Rose episodes. Each episode is preceded by a commercial. Commercial-free episodes are still available on charlierose.com. The future is uncertain.
In the end, this was a story about love. About Charlie's love for technology and for his audience. About our love for Charlie. And like so many love stories, it's not clean or clear-cut. In fact, it's a total mess.
In addition to charlierose.com, Google Video, YouTube, and hulu, there's a gaggle of secondary hosting sites all over the world that now hold CR broadcasts. There's also the fact that Google Video crapped out before Charlie could get around to uploading all of his old videos, and that Mr. Rose (or Ms. Vega) seems to have no interest in finishing the job.
Like all great love stories though, this one lives on happily ever after, day after day, as we all bask in Charlie's grace. Because honestly, he never even had to upload that first YouTube video in the first place.

MASSENA The temperature inside 16 Church St. is cozy these days.
But it hasnt always been that way for the home of the Greater Massena Chamber of Commerce until Patrick J. Curran, owner of Curran Renewable Energy, offered to supply the chamber with a pellet furnace and a 10-ton supply of pellets at no cost.
We thank him for the generous donation. Its a great donation to the chamber. Its a great company, chamber Executive Director Michael J. Gleason said.
The former Adath Israel synagogue had two gas furnaces when the chamber moved in last fall, according to Mr. Gleason. The 4,600-square-foot building with 14-foot ceilings had been vacant for two to three years after Emmanuel Congregational United Church of Christ returned to its West Orvis Street home following renovations after a fire.
One of (the furnaces) was not working at all. The heat exchanger was cracked, he said.
As a result, one side of the building, which was a kitchen area and now houses the chambers office, was heated. But the other church side, where the chamber plans to hold indoor concerts, was without heat.
The heating issue was resolved, but it cost the chamber between $500 and $600, Mr. Gleason said.
Then Mr. Curran came into the picture.
I called Pat. He said he was interested in taking a look at the heating source to see if installing a pellet furnace was feasible given the size of the building, Mr. Gleason said.
Mr. Curran toured the building and determined that a pellet furnace would work. That furnace was installed in the basement by Paul and Clint Roberson, Roberson Plumbing and Heating, Canton.
Theyre trained to do all installations, Mr. Gleason said.
Now, he said, the chamber has one pellet furnace that heats the entire building. Two controls in the furnace room regulate the temperatures on either side of the building.
Both sides are working now. Everything is functioning well, he said.
Mr. Gleason said the pellet furnace will save the chamber a considerable amount of money. He said that even just heating one side of the building with natural gas produced an $800 bill for one month and it wasnt even warm.
The chamber office still has gas capability as a back-up, in case something should happen to the pellet furnace.

Neurocognitive Effects of Buprenorphine Among HIV+ and HIV-Opioid Users

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to examine how Buprenorphine, a form of opioid addiction treatment, changes the ability to think and reason among people addicted to opiates, who are either HIV negative or HIV positive. In addition, blood samples will be stored for HIV+ and HIV- individuals who take buprenorphine to study its effect. We hypothesize that the HIV positive participants will demonstrate significant improvement in thinking and reasoning ability at 3 and 6 months compared to baseline, but that their thinking and reasoning ability will still be lower than HIV negative participants. We also hypothesize that the biomarkers in participants' blood samples will be associated with measures of change in thinking and reasoning ability.

Opioid-dependent drug users who are initiating buprenorphine treatment at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine Division of Substance Abuse (DoSA) or at Montefiore's Comprehensive Health Care Center (CHCC).
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 60 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
Subjects for this study will be drug users with a diagnosis of opioid dependence who are initiating buprenorphine therapy at a DoSA clinic or at the CHCC. The study population is expected to reflect the ethnic composition of the opioid-dependent population in the Bronx. This population is composed of 40% women, and is 24% African-American, 58% Hispanic and 17% Caucasian. Both males and females with opioid dependence who are initiating buprenorphine will be recruited for the proposed study, and, based on our previous studies, we expect to recruit high proportions of women and minorities.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Documented HIV-serostatus
- English-speaking
- Age 18-60
- Able to give voluntary, signed informed consent
- Plan to initiate buprenorphine treatment in the next month.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Over age 60: Participants over the age of 60 will be excluded, as normal age-associated cognitive changes may confound neuropsychological (NP) assessment and diagnosis of HIV-related cognitive disorders.
- Neurologic: History of head injury with loss of consciousness for greater than 12 hours; previous penetrating skull wounds; previous brain surgery; known seizure disorder, or any other non-HIV related CNS disorders that might affect neurocognitive functioning (e.g., previous cerebrovascular accident, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, brain tumor).
- Medical: e.g. collagen vascular disorder (e.g. lupus), oxygen requiring chronic pulmonary disease,, or end stage renal disease requiring dialysis.
- Psychiatric: Lifetime diagnosis of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

Substantive reports of the Clips' Russia trip have been as difficult to find as the inside of a matryoshka doll. Here's what we've been able to learn:
- Euroleague powerhouse CSKA Moscow destroyed the Clippers on Saturday, 94-75, behind former Duke standout and pre-LeBron Cavalier, Trajan Langdon, and Greek national/World Champion, Theodoros Papaloukas.
- The Clips fared better the previous night against CSKA rival, BC Khimki, beating the Moscow JV, 98-91 in "a game that felt more like a romp than the final score indicated."
- The Los Angeles Times assigned foreign correspondent, David Holley, to cover the Clippers' visit to Moscow. Holley is a terrific reporter who has covered post-Soviet Russia brilliantly, everything from H.I.V. in Russia to the threat of Islamic extremism in the former republics. In other words, in covering Ryan Humphries's crash course in Berlitz Russian, Holley was clearly slumming.
- NBA.com dispatched Johannes Berendt to Russia to blog the visit, and Berendt generally did a nice job. According to Berendt from the CMSK game, "The Clippers shot just 39 percent from the field in the first half. According to the official stats, they have had exactly zero assists thus far."
Word is that if you want assists in Moscow, you have to score them on the black market.
So far as the Khimki game, Berendt reported, "The fans loved to see Kaman battling it out with former Dallas center [Khimki's 7-foot-5 Pavel] Podkolzin down low."
From Holley's Saturday piece in the Times:
"Kaman looks like a child versus Podkolzin," Alexander Artyukh, 25, a financial analyst, said at halftime.
[Chris Kaman gets some styling tips from Moscow's urbane merchant class]
- Also from Holley's piece:
"It is a business trip, this is training camp for us," Cassell said. "I won't be out doing the whole tour thing. We're here to win. We're not here just to enjoy the country of Russia."
Oh, lighten up, Sam. Nobody enjoys the country of Russia. It's just a lot of beige food, cigarette smoke and guys dressed in ghetto track suits. It's a place dripping in national irony. Live it up.
- There's a bit more basketball in this notes file from Berendt. Berendt got to visit with Ralph Lawler. According to Ralph:
"One of the guys who has made a giant stride is Q Ross who was a terrific defensive stopper for the team a year ago. It looks like he has more confidence offensively that he has had in the past. He has gotten stronger. Very similar body type to Shaun Livingston who also is bigger and stronger. Chris Kaman is a young big guy who is going to make a big stride this year."
Clipperblog is an unabashed gloablist and strongly supports these It's-a-Small-World drum sessions for the L. Having said that, he looks forward to the October 17 preseason matchup against PHX during which we can better size up what kind of October Manifesto we're looking at.

POTSDAM A section of roof under construction at Canton-Potsdam Hospitals Lawrence Avenue medical complex collapsed Sunday, presumably from high winds.
The roof section consisted of wooden trusses that buckled and caved.
Neither hospital officials nor the contractor who had been working on the building were available to comment. Village police said they had no report of other damage to the building.
Gusts caused downed trees and power lines Sunday, St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies reported, but they had no reports of widespread damage to structures.
The construction at the Lawrence Avenue medical center is meant to double the size of the campus.
Hospital officials proposed a 20,000-square-foot addition last fall to the building that formerly housed St. Marys School. They anticipate it will provide space for more than 50 employees, including approximately 10 physicians.
The addition is meant to help recruit primary care doctors to CPH. Hospital officials renovated and opened the Lawrence Avenue building in 2010 and expect the addition to cost about $5 million.

Hustles on every play, has speed to steal 20 bases, draws walks, fair average.
Reimold, Markakis, Jones, Davis, Hardy, Wieters, Reynolds, Adams. Then, either have a rotating DH of bench players or resign Scott to a MUCH lower price.

Back when he used to teach interns at the old Samra University, I remember there were LINES of patients and students alike ONLY wanting to work with Dr. Choo. He and Dr. Chung makes miracles happen--I have been coming here for years now and I can confidently say that it's the best acupuncture clinic in Los Angeles! Not only is he THE TEACHER of most of Los Angeles practitioners, he is very humble and competent. I personally had knee/back pain and migraines, but those issues are long gone. Very patient-oriented, friendly, and warm environment. I recommend Dr. Choo to all those patients dealing with infertility; he has a wall of baby pictures that mothers who received his help send to Dr. Choo.

The term "Dirty War" was originated by the military junta, which claimed that a war, albeit with "different" methods (including the large-scale application of torture and rape), was necessary to maintain social order and eradicate political subversives.
This explanation has been questioned in court and by human rights NGOs, as it suggests that a "civil war" was going on, and implies justification for the killings. During the 1985 Trial of the Juntas, public prosecutor Julio Strassera suggested that the term "Dirty War" was a "euphemism to try to conceal gang activities" as though they were legitimate military activities.
Although the junta said its objective was to eradicate guerrilla activity because of its threat to the state; it conducted wide-scale repression of the general population; it worked against all political opposition, and those it considered on the left: trade unionists (half of the victims), students, intellectuals including journalists and writers, rights activists, and other civilians, and their families. Many others went into exile to survive, and many remain in exile today (despite the return of democracy in 1983).
Analysts say that crimes committed during this time may not be covered under the laws of war (jus in bello), which shields soldiery of inferior rank from prosecution for acts committed under military or state orders. Paul H. Lewis, Professor of Political Science at Tulane University, who has written Guerrillas and Generals: The Dirty War in Argentina, is among those who claim otherwise.
Terence Roehrig in his The Prosecution of Former Military Leaders in Newly Democratic Nations: The Cases of Argentina, Greece, and South Korea (McFarland & Company, 2001) estimates that of the disappeared, "at least 10,000 were involved in various ways with the guerrillas". Justice Minister Ricardo Gil Lavedra, who formed part of the 1985 tribunal for the Trial of the Juntas, later went on record saying, "I sincerely believe that the majority of the victims of the illegal repression were guerrilla militants."
and the Marxist-Leninist People's Revolutionary Army (Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo or ERP) admitted the deaths of some 5,000 of their own armed fighters. Mario Firmenich, the commander of the Montoneros, in a radio interview in late 2001 from Spain said that, "In a country that experienced a civil war, everybody has blood on their hands."
The government passed legislation to provide compensation to people who lost loved ones in the war under the dictatorship. To date, some 11,000 Argentines have applied for and received up to US $200,000 each as monetary compensation for their losses.
The program of extermination of dissidents was termed "genocide" by a court of law, for the first time in the official treatment of illegal crimes of the dictatorship, during the 2006 trial of Miguel Etchecolatz, a former senior official of the Buenos Aires Provincial Police.(wikipedia.org)

HAMDEN, CT - The St. Lawrence Universitys mens hockey team had a chance to make something happen in its Friday night ECAC matchup at number-one ranked Quinnipiac and it did, handing the Bobcats their first loss in 20 games and delaying the presentation of the Cleary Cup for at least one more night.
Junior wing Greg Carey scored a pair of goals and goaltender Matt Weninger and the Saint defense shut down Quinnipiacs offense in a furious third period as the Saints upended the Bobcats 2-1 at a sold-out TD Bank North Center.
Carey scored the eventual game winner 2:30 into the third period, his second of the night and 22nd of the season, snapping Quinnipiacs 19-game unbeaten streak and handing the Bobcats their first league loss of the year. The Saints, 6-1-3 in their last 10 improve to 14-11-4 overall and 7-6-4 while Quinnipiac is 21-4-4 overall and 14-1-2 in league play. The game was the first meeting for the Saints with a team ranked number one nationally since 1996, and like the previous one, a 2-0 Appleton Arena win over Boston University, the Saints came away a winner.
A big part of the win was Weninger, who improved to 3-1-0 in his career against the Bobcats and improved on a 2.96 goals against average. The Saint junior continued to shine in Quinnipiacs TD Bank North Arena as he has allowed just one goal in two games in the building and stopped 64 of 65 shots with a 1-0 overtime win last season and this years 2-1 win. He needed some huge saves among 17 in the third period as Quinnipiac pressed to tie the game and had a pair of power play opportunities. The Saint defense chipped in with eight blocked shots in the third period as Quinnipiac attempted 30 shots in the final 20 minutes.
Carey, who has now scored goals in eight straight games, gave the Saints the early lead as he took a pass from the sideboards by Jeremy Wick and was all alone in front of Quinnipiac goaltender Eric Hartzell. Carey went upper corner over Hartzells shoulder for his 21st of the season with Kyle Flanagan also assisting at 4:37.
Qunnipiac dodged a bullet in the first period when it was able to kill off a major power play, and the Bobcats came back to tie at 13:47 of the first when Jordan Samuels-Thomas got a step on a Saint defender and walked in on Weninger, putting the puck past his diving effort at a stop from point blank range.
The second period was scoreless and close to the vest as the two teams managed just 11 shots on goal between them despite a spate of penalties.
Carey snapped the 1-1 tie with his second of the night, recording his fourth game winner of the year and tenth of his career as freshman Sean McGovern chipped the puck away from a Quinnipiac defender and it went to Carey, who walked out of the corner and again went high on Hartzell for the goal at the 2:30 mark.
That lead held the rest of the way despite Quinnipiacs determined efforts to pull even. The Bobcats pulled Hartzell for an extra attacker with 1:43 to go, but the few shots they could get past sliding Saint defenders were turned away by Weninger.
SUNY Oswego 10, SUNY Potsdam 0: The Lakers (21-3, 14-1) scored seven goals in the first period and clinched the SUNYAC regular-season title with a win over SUNY Potsdam (8-15-1, 5-10) at the Massena Arena.
Luke Moodie and Zach Josepher each scored twice for the Lakers. Jon Whitelaw had one goal with three assists and David Titanic and Bobby Gertsakis each had one goal with two assists.
Chris Brown, Tyler Leimbrock and Matt Singleton also scored.
Mercyhusrt (Club) 3, SUNY Canton 1: George Curry scored the only goal for the Kangaroos (7-15) in a loss to Mercyhursts club team in Canton.
SLU 1, Quinnipiac (OT): Kelly Sabatine scored in the second period to give the Saints (16-11-4, 11-5-3) a tie with Quinnipiac in an ECAC Hockey game at Appleton Arena.
Amanda Colin scored in the first period for the Bobcats (17-9-4, 11-5-3).
Hobart 74, Clarkson 66: Stefan Thompson scored 22 points and Richie Bonney added 11 points and 10 rebounds as Hobart (18-6, 14-1) knocked off the Golden Knights in a Liberty League game in Geneva.
Joe Gibbons scored 16 points and Trey Blanding added 10 for the Statesmen.

RIT 73, SLU 60: The Tigers (9-15, 5-10) trailed 30-23 at halftime but scored 50 points in the second half to defeat SLU in a Liberty League game in Rochester.
Eric Travis scored 17 points and J.P. Reagan and Jameel Balenton both scored 13 for RIT. Mike DAmico added 11.
Kyle Miller led the Saints (9-15, 7-8) with 14 points. Janpeter Brase scored 13 and Marty Lewis added 11.

Sean Michele scored 16 points, Alex Mirabito 14 and Chris Gilkes 12 for the Lakers.

A Watertown woman was sentenced Thursday in Jefferson County Court to up to four years in state prison after admitting she violated her Drug Court contract.
Kady L. Marteliz, 27, was sentenced to two to four years in prison for failing to complete the substance abuse rehabilitation program that is designed to serve as an alternative to incarceration. She had been referred to the program in August 2010 for a first-degree criminal nuisance conviction, having admitted that she allowed her LeRay Street residence to be used as a place where others gathered to sell illegal drugs.
Information about what led to the Drug Court violation was not available. She was sentenced as a second felony offender, having been convicted in 2005 of first-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument for having several counterfeit $100 bills in Dexter in November 2004.
In other court activity:
Jaun C. Benedict, 26, whose last known address was 1014 State St., Apt. 4, pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal possession of stolen property and was referred to Drug Court. He was accused Dec. 4 of having a 2008 Hyundai Entourage reported stolen from Monique Cortes, Oneida. The vehicle had been stolen at Turning Stone Casino in Oneida County and Mr. Benedict was found sleeping in it in a State Street parking lot.
Christopher L. LItalien, 46, of 1645 Columbia Ave., successfully completed Drug Court, was allowed to have an earlier conviction for felony aggravated driving while intoxication vacated and was allowed to plead guilty to felony DWI. He then was sentenced to five years probation, was fined $1,000, had his drivers license revoked and was ordered to install an ignition interlock on any vehicle he owns or operates.

|House bill to tax money wires
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 12 June 2007 19:31
A bill that would tax money wire transfers made by
illegal immigrants was heard in a House judiciary committee yesterday.
The bill would target money being sent abroad by illegal immigrants who were unlawfully paid in cash. An excise tax would be imposed on money transferred by companies like Western Union and convenience stores that wire funds for a fee. Representatives from the N.C. Retail Merchants Association fear the bill would be difficult to enforce and might subject businesses to discrimination lawsuits.

This was pretty much straight-up talus climbing the entire way. GREAT views from the top, though, especially of McLoughlin (you'll have to summit and then climb slightly down the north side of the mountain to get a good view).
Unless you like hopping on rocks for hours on end, though, I'd recommend trying this mountain out in the winter, maybe with snowshoes.

|If you love rocks, you'll love Brown Mountain. I came in from the Lake of the Woods side and pretty much ran strait up the boulder fields then back down. Round trip was less than 2 hrs, but that was as fast as I could go. I wish I had done this one in the winter.

|SP'er Bob Bolton and I went up from the east side on a route that was totally cross country. This area has real potential for ankle or leg injuries so I wouldn't want to solo the terrain. This was a good time of year to do this one as there were no bugs or heat to deal with.

POTSDAM At Peyton Hall, on Main Street the windows glow purple, the sound of machinery echoes through the corridors, and a wide collection of innovators, entrepreneurs and startups work on the ideas they hope will make their name.
The Peyton Hall Business Incubator opened in 2011, operated by Clarkson Universitys Shipley Center for Innovation.
The incubator provides office and workshop space for start-up businesses, with a focus on technology and innovation. It houses 23 businesses right now, about three-quarters of its total capacity.
Some are run by Clarkson students, others by local entrepreneurs, and a few by interested parties who came from out-of-state. They work on a wide variety of ideas: from military applications to aeroponic agriculture.
Some do their work behind closed doors, the windows papered over, carefully hiding their progress from curious onlookers.
Now that the incubator has been up and running for two years, the pressure for success is growing for some of its earliest tenants.
This is the deciding year, said Matthew E. Draper, deputy director of Clarksons Shipley Center for Innovation.
The provided offices are not meant to be a permanent home for startups, but rather a place for eager innovators to test their ideas and find some funding before striking out on their own.
After two to five years in Peyton Hall, businesses are expected to leave the nest, whether or not theyve found success.
We will kick them out, Mr. Draper said.
Nine out of 10 startups fail on average, according to Mr. Draper. The incubator hopes for a higher success rate by being more selective about which businesses get investment from the Shipley Center and space in Peyton Hall.
There are ideas that get kicked out before they even get here, Mr. Draper said, recounting the story of a group that spent three months working on their idea for an electronic tablet before the Shipley Center decided it wouldnt work.
He said the target is three successes for every 10 startups in the incubator.
Healthy Breathing LLC hopes to be counted among the triumphs. The three-man team is working on an inconspicuous, wearable device that can monitor a persons breathing and send data to a smartphone app.
So who is their target market?
Everybody thats breathing, said Dr. Alexandru (Andre) Stoian, a cardiology specialist at Canton Potsdam Hospital and the companys medical mind.
James Carroll and Daniel J. Rissacher, both engineering professors at Clarkson, complete the company.
The Shipley Center was on board with the idea from early on, and the team had little trouble earning their place at Peyton Hall, which they use to build new prototypes.
They hope to market their device to health-conscious consumers, giving them an in-depth look at potential respiratory problems.
First, however, they need to find funding.
Were using our own resources right now, Mr. Rissacher said.
They have had several meetings with potential investors, with no major successes yet.
Its kind of slow right now. Its been kind of frustrating, Mr. Rissacher said.
The incubator is not meant to be a money-making enterprise for Clarkson, but Mr. Draper said it should eventually be self-sustaining, bringing in returns on investments in successful startups.
Ultimately the market decides, he said.
The incubator allows companies to try, fail, and try again in privacy, away from the buzz of technology hotspots like Silicon Valley, according to Mr. Draper.
It allows them to test things out and not end up on the front page of the New York Times tomorrow if they mess up, he said.
Renoun Ski Company, one of Peyton Halls first tenants, knows plenty about failure.
The company was started by a group of Clarkson dorm-mates with a shared love of skiing.
We had the know-how for the skis, but when we went to the Shipley Center they did pretty much all the business stuff for us, said co-founder Cameron Jones.
Mr. Jones and his partner, Cyrus K. Schenck, plan to create custom skis, made with special adaptive material unlike anything else on the market. Their early efforts were marked with plenty of trial and error. Their first model was dubbed the brick because of its inflexibility.
However, by now they have found a design that works, and the funding is coming in. They hope that by next year they will be counted among Peyton Halls first success stories.
We may end up moving at the end of the year to an actual office, Mr. Jones said, indicating Burlington, Vt., as a possible location.
Mr. Draper said he hopes the Shipley Centers resources and the resources available locally will lead some of the incubators successes to stay in the north country permanently. He envisions the region as a center for invention and job growth, and he hopes state government will soon see things the same way.
In May, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced a search for Innovation Hot Spots, several business incubators statewide that will be deemed worthy to receive state funding and support.
Peyton Hall has submitted its application for consideration.
Bringing investment to the north country is all part of the plan, according to Mr. Draper.
If they dont want to stay here we didnt do our job, he said.

Mature market leaders are supposed to grow slowly, but Amazon is growing as fast as it did when it was a startup. How does everyone else compete?
Mature market leaders are supposed to grow slowly, but Amazon.com Inc. is growing as fast as it did when it was a startup. That raises the question: How does everyone else compete?
It's a question many retailers must be asking themselves after Amazon released its fourth quarter and 2010 financial results yesterday.
Those results show that Amazon, which is far and away the biggest online retailer in the world by sales, continues to outpace the growth in the e-commerce market—and by a wide margin. While U.S. online retail sales grew by around 14% for the first nine months of 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce, Amazon reported this week that its sales in North America increased by 45% in 2010 over 2009. That means Amazon is growing at roughly three times the rate of online retail sales as a whole in the U.S. and Canada. And Amazon likely accounted for more than 11% of North American online retail sales last year, by Internet Retailer estimates.
What's more, far from slowing down, Amazon's growth rate is speeding up. Its 40% growth in worldwide sales in 2010 was the retailer's highest growth rate since 2000, chief financial officer Thomas Szuktak pointed out to investment analysts on a conference call after the release of Amazon's financial results.
There were plenty more statistics to unsettle competitors. For instance, Amazon says it had 130 million active customers at the end of 2010, that is, consumers who had bought from Amazon in the past year, up nearly 24% from 105 million a year earlier.
Pretty astounding numbers. Yet, Amazon's stock price is down about 8% today, the first day after the release of its financial results, despite the extraordinary revenue growth. That's because Amazon's profits only increased 25% last year (to a paltry $1.41 billion), growing more slowly than sales.
That's disappointing to Wall Street, but offers cold comfort to competitors. As Amazon CFO Szuktak pointed out to analysts yesterday, Amazon kept on investing heavily in its business in 2010, and not all the new investments have paid off yet. He pointed, for instance, to the growth in fulfillment centers: Amazon added 13 distribution facilities last year and now has 52 around the world.
Those investments may cut into profits in the short term, Szuktak said, but will pay off over time. Indeed, the vast global web of fulfillment centers is one of Amazon's many competitive advantages, along with its massive buying power, deep experience in building and maintaining web technology, and its increasingly powerful brand.
How can anyone compete against Amazon?
One answer is to find a niche so specialized that it's not worth Amazon's time, and do a great job of serving your customers. That's a strategy that's working for thousands of small but successful online retailers.
But Amazon keeps on moving into new niches. Amazon's recent acquisition of the parent company of Diapers.com is an example. And the more products Amazon sells, the more it can spread the costs of its vast infrastructure, so I expect the No. 1 e-retailer to continue to move into new product categories.
Amazon's Achilles heel, some competitors hope, is that it has no physical stores. Despite the ongoing shift of retail spending to the web, many consumers do like to touch and feel certain items, and ask questions of knowledgeable salespeople when considering complex purchases. Is there a strategy that combines the benefits of bricks and mortar and of the web?
E-commerce technology and service provider GSI Commerce is betting that there is, and is making that strategy part of how it's building out its ShopRunner program that offers consumers free shipping across many retailers (64 at last count) in exchange for a $79 annual fee. It's unabashedly aimed at the Amazon Prime program, which offers free shipping on items bought at Amazon.com for $79 a year.
Because many of the retailers participating in ShopRunner—including Sports Authority, PetSmart and General Nutrition Centers—have many stores, there is the potential to use this free shipping program in a way Amazon can't, as ShopRunner president Mike Golden explained to me recently. Suppose you're in a store shopping for a gift. You could buy it, take it home, wrap it up, take it to the post office and mail it to the recipient. Or, the store clerk, recognizing that you've asked for a gift receipt, could explain that if you joined ShopRunner on the spot the store would ship the gift free—and you'd get free shipping for the next year at all the other retailers. Or if the store doesn't have a shirt in your size, or you buy something that you want monogrammed, again, the store employee could offer to ship it to your home for free, if you sign up with ShopRunner.
If many big chains really pushed that strategy it's conceivable ShopRunner could in a couple of years catch up with Amazon Prime, which has enrolled some 5 million consumers, according to Lazard Capital analyst Colin Sebastian. And once consumers are signed up with a program like that they're sure to be more likely to patronize participating merchants when they shop online in order to get the free shipping consumers so dearly love.
There are plenty of downsides to owning stores, which the retail chains will continue to deal with as they compete with increasingly powerful online-only retailers like Amazon. Perhaps, the big winners from ShopRunner will be the web-only retailers that have signed up, like Newegg and drugstore.com, that can benefit from whatever marketing ShopRunner does in stores, without bearing the costs of all that brick and mortar.
The ShopRunner coalition has a long way to go to show it can succeed. But at least they have a plan. Everyone else better get a plan, too. Because Amazon shows no signs of slowing down.

National Mentoring Program – Cohort 3
Guest blog today from Carly Schwartz, student/mentee in the 2010 National Mentoring Program. Thanks Carly and Best of Luck at Meal Exchange this summer. Cheers!
On the morning of May 20th, 2010, there was an anxious buzz in the air. Not only was it a beautiful day outside in downtown Toronto, but it was also the day where students of the National Mentoring Program and their charities would meet their Molson mentors face-to-face over lunch at the Toronto Board of Trade. There was already a solid relationship formed between the mentors and mentees through weekly phone calls and emails over the past few months, but finally connecting the voice to a face was an exciting experience!
The afternoon began with some mingling. Having never met my mentor before, it was quite fun trying to pick out who I thought would be the face to the voice I knew like the back of my hand! Once everyone connected with their mentors and settled in with their delicious food, NMP Founder Mary Donohue welcomed us all and introduced us to Amir Remtulla, Molson Coors Canada Senior Director Public Affairs. Mr. Remtulla presented Mr. Ootes, humanitarian and City of Toronto Councillor, who spoke of the value of community volunteering, something which everyone involved in the National Mentoring Program is extremely passionate about and can relate to in their own way.
As the lunch began to wind down, students were able to chat with each other and share their stories from the first couple weeks of working with their charities. It was not only exciting meeting my Molson mentor, but also a lot of fun getting a chance to see what amazing projects my friends were tackling this summer. With all the excitement and anticipation in the air, it is evident that this summer is going to be an unforgettable one for all the students, mentors, and their charities!

Midwest Living Review
Cherry Republic is one of those places that turns first-time visitors into cherry zealots. This regional icon nestles on the edge of picturesque Glen Arbor. Three North Woods-style retail buildings—the Great Hall Retail Store, Cherry Bakery and Cafe, and Stomphouse WInery and Tasting Room—make up this legendary "republic," along with pretty flower gardens, inviting benches and a patio dining area.
In the Stomphouse Winery and Tasting Room, visitors can sample nine cherry wines and hard ciders (specialty soda pop options are available, too). Friendly, knowledgeable servers offer information and pour samples, including Cherry Root Beer (a delish take on root beer), Cherry Ginger Ale, Hard Cherry Cider (a tasty and tart blend of Balaton cherry juice and apple juice). Tastings are free.
Guests browse the spacious timber-framed Great Hall, packed with 175 cherry products, and sample (and buy) an amazing variety of cherry products. We admit, we tried most of the samples: standouts included the Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries, Peach Cherry and Green Chery salsas, and Triple Cherry Granola (with dried cherries, dried blueberries, dried strawberries, rolled oats, brown sugar, almonds and cherry jam and cherry jelly). When we commented that the packaged Dark Chocolate Caramel Pecan Turtles tempted, a clerk quickly produced a sample for us to try.
Next door, the Cherry Bakery and Cafe bustles with visitors lined up for fresh-baked goods, including cherry pie, cherry cakes, the locally famous Boomchunka cookies, cherry fudge and 12 flavors of homemade cherry ice cream. Before you go, try a slice of cherry pie with a large, creamy scoop of any flavor of the cherry ice cream, head for a shady table on the adjacent outdoor patio, and savor your decadent treat.

LINCOLN (AP) — An envelope containing white powder sent to the Community College of Rhode Island in Lincoln that forced a campus-wide evacuation has been found to be non-hazardous.
The college canceled classes at the Flanagan campus on Friday afternoon after a professor received an envelope containing an unknown substance. Campus officials notified the Lincoln police and fire departments.
The school said later the substance was found to be a sugar-based product. A sample is being sent to the state Department of Health for further testing.
CCRI said all regularly scheduled classes and activities will be held Saturday. Spring break officially starts Monday.

Candy manufacturers go to great lengths to come up with catchy names for their products. Cases in point: Whatchamacallit, Goo Goo Clusters, Abba-Zaba, and Cherry Mash.
For this week's Candy.com contest, submit the wackiest existing or retired candy brand name that comes to mind. (No making up wacky candy names … although that could be a good contest down the road. Butterfinger was the result of a public contest held by the candy bar's original manufacturer, the Curtiss Candy Company.)
Everyone who leaves a comment after this post or on Facebook will be entered to win a dozen Wonka Scrumdiddlyumtious bars (sorry, this name's off limits).
We'll announce our Scrumdiddlyumtious winner this Friday, so stay tuned!

How far is too far when it comes to your employer getting into your personal life?
Reporter: Tammy Vo
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - There have been recent cases across the country where job seekers were asked by companies for their Facebook user name and password. Do they have that right?
When it comes to your Facebook page, there's a lot more to be seen than just what music or movies you like. Millions of users list their religion, age and political views, for example. Now two lawmakers, Senator Chuck Shumer of New York and Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, are asking the feds to investigate. They posed this question: If an employer can't ask you that information on your application, what makes them think they can access that information through your Facebook page? They wrote in a statement "We are concerned that collecting this sensitive information under the guise of a background check may simply be a pretext for discrimination."
Many users think that your Facebook name and password is private information. But the unemployed might disagree.
"Would you give them your identification and password?" asked Reporter Tammy Vo.
"If they need it, yes, because I'm looking for work" said William Rohus. He showed up at Pima County One Stop on Monday morning looking for work.
James Jordan who is also looking for work, hesitantly disagreed. "I guess if they want it I would have to do it, yeah".
Facebook said in an online statement "As a user, you shouldn't be forced to share your private information and communications just to get a job. That's why we've made it a violation of Facebook's statement of rights and responsibilities to share or solicit a Facebook password."
"Does this set up employers for problems?" Vo asked Attorney Doug Clark of Mesch, Clark & Rothschild.
"I think so. Why do you want to ask that question? It opens up a whole can of worms you don't want to open up" said Clark.

In an important pre-Christmas action that received scant media attention, President Obama announced appointments to a number of key administrative posts, including nine members of the President's Global Development Council, an organization he created by executive order one year ago, on February 9, 2012. The appointments will turn out to be very important as they pertain to the dispersal of billions of dollars in foreign aid, particularly when it comes to promoting programs and policies of the United Nations on abortion, population control, homosexual practices, condom distribution, Agenda 21, "sustainable development," "green energy," wealth redistribution, and other controversial issues.
Pro-life/pro-family organizations are understandably alarmed at the overwhelmingly pro-abortion tilt of the president's appointments, including the billionaire husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein and the former president of global development for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, now one of the largest funders of global population-control programs.
The Obama executive order states:
To help protect national security and further American economic, humanitarian, and strategic interests in the world, it is the policy of the Federal Government to promote and elevate development as a core pillar of American power and chart a course for development, diplomacy, and defense to reinforce and complement one another....
There is established the President's Global Development Council (Council). The Council shall be established for administrative purposes within the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) subject to the foreign policy and budgetary guidance of the Secretary of State.
In addition to the "Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the USAID Administrator, and the Chief Executive Officer of the Millennium Challenge Corporation," the executive order specifies that the Council shall be composed of "not more than 12 individuals from outside the Federal Government appointed by the President. Appointed members of the Council may serve as representatives of a variety of sectors, including, among others, institutions of higher education, non-profit and philanthropic organizations, civil society, and private industry."
The individuals named in December to the President's Global Development Council are:

|Spa Sold Gift Cards The Day Before Closing
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 07 December 2012 14:47
The fallout over the sudden closing of the Sanctuary Day Spa continues today, with more and more folks inquiring about any value of gift certificates—certificates still being sold the day before the Spa closed its doors. Ashley, secretary at the Spa, told of the actions she observed as the news came down
Wednesday that Sanctuary was closing, eventually leading to the door being locked--employees locked out. Former employees are hoping that owners Hugh and Randi Schindler will follow through on payroll, promised yesterday by Hugh Schindler. There is a link in a previous story about two former employees honoring the gift certificates, and we have decided that we will, at their request, list contact information from former employees as they find places to offer services. One of those is Nia Dickens, available at 828-964-5853. If you were affected by the closing, we'd like to hear from you—call 828-414-1027.
