Last week, United States Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan, and Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo attended a press conference of the second round of China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogues in Beijing, China. At the conference, China and the United States agreed to enhance mutual trust through more intensive dialogue for a stable and mature relationship. According to a press release issued by the Chinese, "The relationship of China and the United States, respectively as the world's largest developing and developed countries, is immensely important to the world, and the key to sound relations is strengthening mutual trust."
The relationship between the United States and China is inarguably one of the most – if not the most – important bilateral relationship of the 21st century. The two countries are often considered to be neither allies nor enemies, and the relationship is considered by analysts of Sino-American relations to be both complex and multi-faceted.
Cross-cultural psychologists have grown famous for uncovering East-West differences in just about every domain of social psychology, but there are fewer studies that take real-life political events happening at that moment and attempt to build theories of Sino-American relations around those events. Recently, social psychologists from both the United States and Asia came together in a special section of the Asian Journal of Social Psychology to discuss the psychosocial ramifications of one such major political event – the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. In one paper within this section, researchers discuss the irony that although the Beijing Olympic Games were intended to elicit feelings of international unity (hence the slogan "One World, One Dream"), once participants were reminded of the Beijing Games via subtle and indirect exposure to the Beijing Olympic icon, both Chinese and Americans high in nationalism and patriotism perceived greater differences between Chinese and American cultures, compared to those low in nationalism and patriotism. On a more explicit level, however, the two groups seemed to differ: whereas Chinese associated the Games with the "One World, One Dream" slogan, Americans associated the Games with a burgeoning Chinese competitiveness. Authors explain the findings as a cognitive contrast effect such that as long as the Olympic Games symbolize a co-presence of the U.S. and China simultaneously – whether the intergroup relationship is perceived to be friendly or competitive – the Games will lead to a psychological contrast between the ingroup and the outgroup and, in so doing, heightened perceived cultural differences. The authors further emphasize that although Chinese participants might be acutely aware of the differences between the U.S. and China, they do not necessarily associate these differences with hostility, but instead understand them as an opportunity to learn from the U.S. in order to eventually realize the "One World, One Dream" ideal. Americans, however, apparently associate the Games with competition between China and themselves and this same awareness of how they are different from China might only serve to intensify any adversarial feelings.
Like the conclusions drawn from the recent dialogue between the U.S. and China, psychologists stress that it is increasingly vital for research to inform strategies that might, at the very least, help make both countries cognizant of how they are perceived by each other. They claim that awareness of our differences, understanding how those differences come about and what they mean to the outgroup, and being ready to reconcile discrepant motivations are essential to preemptively assuage any potential discord caused by different expectations and different hopes for the future world order.

The Acthar Support & Access Program (A.S.A.P.) helps you to secure the best insurance coverage, gets Acthar delivered to your door, and more.
Important Safety Information
Who should NOT take Acthar?
You should not take Acthar if you have:
- A skin condition called scleroderma
- Bone density loss or osteoporosis
- Any infections, including fungal, bacterial, or viral
- Eye problems, such as ocular herpes simplex
- Had recent surgery
- Stomach ulcers or a history of ulcers
- Heart problems
- High blood pressure
- Allergies to pig-derived proteins
- Been recently given a vaccine or are about to take one
- Suspected congenital infections (in children under 2 years of age)
- A condition where your adrenal glands produce either too much of certain hormones (as with Cushing's syndrome), or not enough (adrenal insufficiency)
Tell your doctor if you have any of these conditions or any other health problems. Also, share with your doctor what medicines you are taking. Don't forget to mention nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
What is the most important information I should know about Acthar?
- Never inject Acthar directly into a vein, and always take Acthar as prescribed by your doctor
- Never stop treatment suddenly unless your doctor tells you to
- Try not to miss any scheduled doctor's appointments, as it is important for the doctor to monitor you while taking Acthar
Acthar can cause side effects similar to those with steroid treatments. While taking Acthar, tell your doctor right away if you have any of the symptoms listed here:
- Increased risk of infections. You may be more likely to get new infections. Also, old infections may become active. Before and during treatment, tell your doctor if you see any signs of an infection. Contact your doctor at the first sign of an infection or fever. Signs of infection are fever, cough, vomiting, or diarrhea. Other signs may be flu or any open cuts or sores
- Adrenal gland changes. When taking Acthar long term, your adrenal gland may produce too much of a hormone called cortisol, which may cause symptoms of Cushing's syndrome, such as upper body fat, rounded "moon" face, bruising easily, or muscle weakness
Sometimes when you stop taking Acthar long term, your body may not produce enough cortisol on its own. This is called "adrenal insufficiency." Your doctor may prescribe a steroid medicine to protect you until the adrenal gland recovers
- Increased blood pressure, body salt, and fluid levels. Your doctor may check your blood pressure while you are being treated with Acthar. He or she may recommend some changes to your diet, such as eating less salt and taking certain supplements
- Unpredictable response to vaccines. Talk to your doctor about which vaccines are safe to use when you are taking Acthar
- Masking other conditions. Acthar may hide symptoms of other diseases. This can make it more difficult for your doctor to make a diagnosis if something else is going on
- Stomach or intestinal problems. Acthar may put you at increased risk for bleeding from the stomach or getting stomach ulcers. Tell your doctor if you have stomach pains, bloody vomit, bloody or black stools, excessive tiredness, increased thirst, difficulty breathing, or increased heart rate
- Changes in mood or behavior. Taking Acthar can make you feel irritable or depressed. You may also have mood swings or trouble sleeping
- Worsening of other medical conditions. If you have other conditions, such as diabetes or muscle weakness, you may find they get worse
- Eye problems. It's possible that you may develop certain eye conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma, or optic nerve damage
- Allergic reactions. Your body may develop antibodies or become sensitive when Acthar is used long term. Signs of allergic reaction in children are:
- Skin rash
- Swelling of the face, tongue, lips, or throat
- Trouble breathing
- Problems with growth and physical development. Using Acthar long term can affect growth and physical development in children. This can be reversed when Acthar is no longer needed
- Bone density loss. Acthar may cause osteoporosis at any age
- Potential harm to unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant
What are the most common side effects of Acthar?
The most common side effects of Acthar are similar to those of steroids. They include:
- Fluid retention
- Changes in blood sugar
- Increased blood pressure
- Behavior and mood changes
- Changes in appetite and weight
- Specific side effects in children under 2 years of age include:
- Increased risk of infections
- Increased blood pressure
- Irritability
- Symptoms of Cushing's syndrome
- Cardiac hypertrophy (thickening of the heart muscle)
- Weight gain
- The above side effects may also be seen in adults and children over 2 years of age.
These are not all of the possible side effects of Acthar.
Tell your doctor about any side effect that bothers you, or that does not go away. Call your doctor or pharmacist for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA. Call 1-800-FDA-1088 or visit www.fda.gov/medwatch. You may also report side effects by calling 1-800-778-7898.
Please see full Prescribing Information.

By POLLY ALLEN & DIANNE JOHNSON
Congratulations to the Carbon varsity football players for pulling together in a great team effort to win their game against Union High, on Friday evening in Roosevelt. Since it was Union's homecoming game, they paraded their floats around the field at half time. We were appalled at the number of Carbon parents who would not even politely applaud for the students riding on the floats. What message were these adults sending to the teenagers?
We think it is really disappointing when Carbon gets a personal foul on them, which when the penalty is marked off, the other team scores a touchdown. It is one thing to lose a game when the other team outplays our team, but to lose it because of out of control behavior does not speak well for the self-control of our team members. We totally agree that all referee calls are not fair, but that does not justify poor behavior. Life is unfair at best, but each person needs to deal with it without acting out or mouthing off
Our hats are off to the Carbon players, who after tackling their opponent, would reach down and help him up. This often happened with two different Carbon boys helping one Union player off the ground. Boys, way to set an example for your parents of kindness and respect.

Does PHP run only on UNIX servers?
And another slightly more advanced question:
I was doing some simple PHP work for a client which involved the need to delete certain files... however, the PHP running on my client's server would not allow for deleting files... I've had similar PHP running on several other servers where that probelm did not exist. After contacting the company operating the server with the problem, I was told the problem existed, and I quote - "due to the virtualization of Apache under the Ensim enviroment." So, the question is... is that an unusual PHP setup or am I likely to run into the problem frequently as I do PHP work for other clients located all over the place?

Brian Thornton and David Smith, both former UC Irvine standouts, have been named to the U.S. Olympic men's volleyball team, pending approval from the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Upon approval, Thornton and Smith along with the rest of the nominated team and staff will represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games July 29 through Aug. 12 in London.
Thornton and Smith, who were key figures in UCI's first national championship team in 2007, become the first UCI student-athletes to be Olympians in the sport of men's volleyball. The Anteater duo made the 12-man roster which features athletes from eight different universities. UCI and BYU have the second most representatives behind Long Beach State's three players.
Thornton, a setter, earned second team All-America as well as All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation honors twice and was named to the NCAA All-Tournament in 2007. He is UCI's all-time assists leader (4,662). Thornton was a UCI Scholar-Athlete who graduated with a degree in sociology.
Smith was named first-team All-American and first team All-MPSF in 2007 as well as selected to the NCAA all-tournament team. As a senior, the middle blocker led the nation with a .559 hitting percentage, which is a UCI season record. He is also UCI's career leader in block assists (471) and total blocks (520). Smith, who graduated with a degree in civil engineering, was a UCI Scholar-Athlete.
John Speraw, the former UCI coach who is now the head man at UCLA, is an assistant for Team USA.
Jayson Jablonsky ('07), who was the 2006 National Player of the Year, is a replacement athlete for the team, as is Kevin Hansen, a former Corona del Mar High standout.
Rob Browning, a Newport Beach resident, is the team manager for Team USA.
The U.S. men are the defending Olympic champions and ranked No. 6 in the world. The 2012 U.S. Olympic men's volleyball team trains at the American Sports Centers in Anaheim.
The U.S. men qualified for the 2012 Olympic Games by winning the NORCECA Men's Continental Olympic Qualification Tournament in May in Long Beach.
The U.S. men have qualified for nine previous Olympic Games: 1964, '68, '84, '88, '92, '96, 2000, '04 and '08. They have won the gold medal in 1984, '88 and 2008 and won bronze in 1992.
The U.S. men will begin play in the London Olympic Games on July 29 against Serbia.

Personnel from three British Royal Navy ships, HMS Illustrious,... News PhotoArts Culture and Entertainment,British Culture,Ceremony,Greater London,History,Horizontal,London - England,Occupation,Participant,Representing,Royal Navy,UK,WinePhotographer CARL COURTCollection: AFP 2013 AFPPersonnel from three British Royal Navy ships, HMS Illustrious, Edinburgh and Blythe, deliver a barrel of wine representing the dues at the Tower of London in central London on May 10, 2013 as they take part for the first time in the historic ceremony of the Constable's Dues. The annual event can be traced back to the 14th century and is related to the Crown's authority over the City of London. During the Middle Ages, successive Kings believed it was their right to extract tolls from vessels on the Thames. On the King's behalf, the Constable of the Tower of London, was empowered to demand these tolls as a perquisite of his office. Past offerings have included barrels of rum, or oysters, mussels and cockles; this year, the Tower's Constable, General Lord Richard Dannatt, was presented with a barrel of wine.

GRAND ISLAND, N.Y. -- One of our Facebook fans, Nick Ryan, posted pictures of a big car fire along the 190 Friday afternoon.
It happened on Grand Island, heading north, just south of the north Grand Island Bridge. State Police tell us the driver noticed a problem, pulled over, and an issue in the engine caused the fire.
Luckily no one was injured and the 190 was opened back up to traffic soon after the fire.
While we love getting viewer pics, we want to remind everyone to be safe while they take them!

The north countrys county public health agencies are bracing for a double dose of cuts to their programs and services, as they face potential reductions at the state and federal levels.
Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties public health agencies may not know what the bottom-line dollar impact will be of those cuts, but officials said they know change is coming.
Ive been waiting to see a good analysis come out from a reputable organization, said Susan J. Hathaway, St. Lawrence County Public Health director. What do we do for our 2014 budgets? Our process in St. Lawrence County starts in May. How do we plan?
St. Lawrence County Public Health operates with an annual operating budget of about $10 million, but that amount most likely will decrease once effects of federal sequestration and state budget cuts finally filter down to the agency. Although its impact has yet to be discovered at the local level, federal sequestration means there could be an 8 to 10 percent cut to programs funded at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to the American Public Health Association.
That could translate into a decrease in immunizations for children and adults, a reduced availability of HIV tests, decreased ability to investigate multistate outbreaks, a reduction in public health staff and elimination of some research projects. The American Public Health Association also reported that cuts to Medicare would be limited to provider payment cuts up to 2 percent.
Ms. Hathaway said the CDC cuts may trickle down to St. Lawrence County Public Health and affect the number of vaccines provided through the federal Vaccines for Children Program.
Lewis County Public Health Director Carol A. Paluck said there also are proposed cuts to emergency preparedness.
Its all really tentative, Mrs. Paluck said.
Any federal cut, coupled with Lewis County Public Healths loss of the $40,000 Susan G. Komen for the Cure grant because that funding dried up and state budget cuts will leave the agency providing fewer opportunities for Lewis County residents to keep up on their preventive health care.
Because the agency did not receive the Komen grant, it had to cancel its newly formed cancer navigation program, which would have helped guide patients through their cancer struggles.
Mrs. Paluck said she is unsure how the federal cuts will play out for its $3.5 million annual budget, especially since federal funds pay for Lewis County Public Healths Cancer Services Program screening and diagnostics for patients.
In Jefferson County, the picture is just as uncertain and bleak. Jefferson County Public Health Service Director Ginger B. Hall said as of April 1, Medicare claims for the county public health agencys home health care will be affected beyond the general 2 percent cut to Medicare programs.
Were episodic, so we will go for 60 days at a time, she said. Fee-for-service Medicare, which were not, will be a 2 percent cut. I dont know what will happen to us because were episodic.
Mrs. Hall said she is still evaluating how federal sequestration could affect other areas of the agencys $8.3 million annual budget, but she said home health care also will be affected at the state level as the whole system goes through change.
Any federal funding changes through the CDC will be filtered through to county public health agencies by the state Department of Health, Ms. Hathaway said. Having gone through cuts from the department before, Ms. Hathaway said, St. Lawrence County Public Health is down now to basically providing mandated programs.

Protecting your amp from any unnecessary damage is a simple task for a solid protective amp cover or case. Whatever amp size you're working with there is a variety of cases that make it easier for to transport your gear from your gig to home and back again. When you finally find an amp that suits your needs, you're going to want to protect it as best as possible. There are varying degrees of protective gear available to ensure your amp arrives exactly as it left. If you want the most protection possible, hard case options like the Gator Roto Mold Amp cases or the Road Runner Deluxe 12U Amplifier case are made with extremely dense synthetic material that frees you from worrying about travelling with your gear. Often, these units will come with castors, making it even easier to cart your amp into bars and onto the stage. Amp covers are another great option if you want to extend the life of your amp. If you play mostly at home, pick up the Fender Princeton 112 or the Aguilar Amp Cover to shield your amp's exposed parts from dust or accidental spills. They're easy to put on and could end up saving you a bundle should your amp have to remain in a high traffic area. If you're working with a practice amp you might find a smaller gig bag will suit your needs. Options like the DV Mark Little Amp Bag or the ZT Lunchbox Amp Carry bag come with convenient straps that make it easy to throw your amp over your shoulder instead of having to use two hands to carry it. This way when you're ready to jam you can quickly head out the door with your guitar and amp whenever you feel like it. Whatever you're working with, there is an amp cover or case that will not only make transporting your gear much easier but also protect it. Having that kind of peace of mind is priceless.

Navy Proposal to Refurbish Clinic Parapet Wall
Posted on: June 18, 2013 08:00 EDT by Naval Academy Public Works
In 1908, a new hospital complex at the United States Naval Academy (USNA) opened on the upper yard of the campus. During the 1930's and early 1940's, the hospital facilities were expanded with new ancillary structures and wings including the current Naval Medical Clinic (NMCL) Outpatient Clinic (Building 274), as the west ward of the hospital (c. 1939).
The main campus of USNA was designated a National Historic Landmark in July 1961 and a Historic District in 1966. Building 274 is a contributing resource to the USNA Historic District due to its association with the development of the USNA campus and its reflection of the architecture at the USNA.
The parapet wall is part of the original exterior fabric of the building and an integral part of its historic facade. Due to a lack of weeps in the original construction of Building 274, insufficient maintenance, and differential movement of the exterior materials, the existing parapet wall has structurally deteriorated over the years, allowing water infiltration to the interior and weakening the parapet's structural integrity.
Currently, the parapet wall has moved out of alignment up to two (2) inches in sections, and six of the eight building corners show evidence of cracking and misalignment. Additionally, pieces of brick and mortar were dislodged during the August 23, 2011 5.8 magnitude earthquake.
The Navy is proposing to waterproof and stabilize the parapet wall of Building 274 and fix cracking at the building corners below the cornice. Specifically, the project will make the building watertight as well as repair any structural cracking to the entire brick parapet wall from the roof level cornice to the granite capstones and repair damaged brick at the building corners below the cornice.
As required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Navy is preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) to consider the potential environmental effects for the proposed project. The preferred alternative involves the removal and rebuilding of the existing parapet wall, replacing the original exterior façade with like materials while incorporating weeps and expansion joints to allow movement.
This proposed action is subject to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Through consultation with the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT), it has been determined the project would have an adverse effect on a historic property due to the removal of the historic fabric (i.e., parapet wall).
Working with the MHT, the Navy has developed a Memorandum of Agreement which includes terms for mitigating the adverse effect. The proposed mitigation includes the use of like materials on the exterior façade of the new parapet wall and the development of a historic building maintenance plan for the NMCL campus within the USNA.
Please respond with questions or comments regarding the Section 106 process for this project within 14 days of publication to Tara Meadows, project manager, (202) 685-8415.

NFL Playoff Preview: Carolina Panthers at Seattle SeahawksFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner 9 mths ago
Carolina Panthers (8-8-1) at Seattle Seahawks (12-4) Saturday, 8:15 p.m. ET on Fox
How they got here: The Panthers had one of the most unusual paths to the divisional round of any team in NFL history.
Carolina went two entire months between wins. The Panthers beat Chicago on Oct. 5 and didn't win again until knocking off New Orleans on Dec. 7. They suffered through a 1-8-1 stretch. And because the NFC South might have been the worst division in NFL history, a four-game winning streak at the end of the regular season allowed them to steal the NFC South title with a losing record, just the second team in NFL history to make the playoffs with a losing record. The first? The Seahawks, in 2010.
And if the Panthers needed one more break, they got it, when the Arizona Cardinals and third-string quarterback Ryan Lindley came in and put up an NFL playoff record low 78 yards in 27-16 win.

Jerry Jones keeps hoping for playoff expansion to help his mediocre Cowboys
Jerry Jones joked on Monday about voting for playoff expansion because it might help his Dallas Cowboys get in the playoffs. Har har. A bit awkward, but whatever.
Then he repeated the same thing on Tuesday and it's harder to tell if he's joking. For all his faults, Jones is way too competitive to beg for the NFL to make it easier for his team to make the playoffs, rather than putting his efforts into winning more games ... right?
He reiterated his hope for expanded playoffs to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram after NFL owners tabled a vote on expanding the playoffs from 12 teams to 14 until the fall:
Jerry Jones to reporters on expanded NFL playoffs: "The sooner the better for the Dallas Cowboys."
— Clarence Hill (@clarencehilljr) May 20, 2014
I mean, this guy's just begging to be made an example of.

Minneapolis, with its publicly funded new stadium, wins Super Bowl LII bid
New Orleans had a perfect record when it came to Super Bowl bids. But, NFL owners like rewarding cities that build expensive publicly funded stadiums even more than they love the Crescent City.
Minneapolis will be the home of Super Bowl LII in 2018, beating New Orleans in the final vote on Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings. The NFL has made it clear that if you build a stadium, as Minnesota is doing with the help of $498 million in public funds, it will do everything it can to get your city the big game. Nothing else matters. Not the fan experience, the weather during the week, or anything else. After all, NFL owners might want their own new stadium someday, and they'll want the tax money to make sure they don't pay for it. Minnesota's new dome will open for the 2016 season.
"I think it had a great deal to do with it, and we want to thank our public for giving that support," US Bank CEO and Minneapolis Super Bowl committee co-chair Richard Davis told NFL Network about how much public tax money led to winning the bid. "It's $498 million, one of the largest public-private partnerships, I think in the history of the NFL."

Peyton Manning cleared after neck exam, will get $20 million and play in 2014
There was nothing about Peyton Manning's play last season that indicated his neck was bothering him.
The NFL MVP broke records for passing yards and passing touchdowns in a season and led Denver to the Super Bowl. But, as part of his contract, he has a full exam on his neck every offseason. That was a safeguard for the Broncos considering Manning had multiple surgeries on his neck and missed the 2011 season with the Indianapolis Colts. Once he's cleared each offseason, guarantees in his contract can kick in.
This particular doctor's appointment with Manning was worth $20 million.
He passed according to the Denver Post's Mike Klis, which was no surprise, and as a result the Broncos quarterback will have another $20 million coming to him in guarantees. Klis said the team and Manning's agent, Tom Condon, will start working on the process of guaranteeing that $20 million salary now that he has been cleared. Must be nice.

Cornerback Brent Grimes re-signs with Miami Dolphins before he hits free agency
Another NFL week started with one more top free agent being taken off the market before other teams had a chance to make him an offer.
Brent Grimes was set to be one of the top defensive backs in free agency, but Miami never let him get there. The team announced it had signed Grimes to a multi-year extension. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the four-year deal is worth up to $32 million with $16 million guaranteed.
The team had the option to give Grimes the franchise tag before the deadline at 4 p.m. ET on Monday, but the two sides hammered out a deal to avoid that.

J.J. Watt pushes around a 1,000-pound tire, reminds us he's a beast
The NFL has some of the greatest athletes on the planet, but how many players in the NFL are more athletic than J.J. Watt? Not too many.
We've seen Watt do a 59.5-inch box jump. He has a ridiculous vertical leap. His 6.88-second three-cone drill time at the combine is the eighth-best among defensive linemen at the combine since 2006. He can broad jump 10 feet. He does all this at more than 290 pounds.
That's why the Houston Texans defensive end is the best defensive player in the NFL. He has unworldly physical gifts.
This is just another example: Watt put on his Instagram page a video of him pushing around a 1,000-pound tire (h/t to the Houston Chronicle). And he said he did it 30 times.
Oh, and Watt said he did this at the end of his workout. A cool down, if you will. He didn't look like he was struggling with it either.

Report says Jim Harbaugh's 'act has worn thin' in 49ers locker room, but who cares?
After the 49ers' issues with Jim Harbaugh became common knowledge when it was reported that San Francisco and Cleveland discussed a trade for the coach, one of the themes has been that Harbaugh is difficult to deal with.
He and GM Trent Baalke don't always get along. He wants to be paid like a top coach and isn't happy San Francisco won't do that for him. And now Ann Killion of the San Francisco Chronicle writes that some 49ers players are sick of Harbaugh too.
"One source with inside knowledge of the team says that Harbaugh's act has worn thin in the locker room, particularly among some key 'face of the 49ers' type players," Killion wrote.
High-strung football coach rubs people the wrong way ... stop the presses.
What do the 49ers value? Winning, you'd think. Harbaugh has done a tremendous job restoring the 49ers as a top franchise in the NFL. Or is it more important to have a nice-guy head coach who gets along with everyone?

Jeremy Maclin, Donald Butler among potential free agents re-signed before they hit market
The news that the salary capis rising substantially seems to have started a signing spree on Friday, of teams retaining their own players.
All of a sudden, the market got thinner.
Tight end Jimmy Graham will be franchise tagged by New Orleans, but that's no surprise. Baltimore re-signed Dennis Pitta, making the tight end crop look pretty thin.
Then the San Diego Chargers agreed to a multi-year deal with Donald Butler, one of the top linebackers who was set to hit the free-agent market on March 11. That was followed by the Eagles (who already extended center Jason Kelce and receiver Riley Cooper this week) signing receiver Jeremy Maclin to a one-year deal. Even though Maclin was coming off a torn ACL, he was expected to be one of the top free-agent receivers on the market.
The market does appear to be changing, however. A lot of teams aren't letting good players reach free agency.

No surprise, New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham to get franchise tag
The New Orleans Saints slapping Jimmy Graham with the franchise tag comes as no surprise to anyone. What comes next is where it gets interesting.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that before Monday's deadline, the Saints will use their franchise tag on the tight end. Or is he a receiver?
Graham lined up as a traditional tight end on only about 33 percent of plays, according to ESPN and Pro Football Focus. The Saints will argue that he's a tight end, and the projected franchise tag for tight ends is about $6.8 million. For receivers it's about $11.8 million, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. That's obviously a huge difference.
The Saints would be smart to make one of their best players happy, but it's also understandable if they can win the battle and get the $5 million discount. Then one has to wonder if Graham will try to hold out.

Richie Incognito getting treatment for 'severe mental stress'
After the Ferrari-bashing incident and a weird, rambling interview with a Phoenix television station, Richie Incognito is getting help.
NFL Network's Jeff Darlington said the Dolphins guard is being treated at a facility in Arizona after "severe mental stress" caused by the fallout from the Jonathan Martin ordeal.
After a very long few weeks, I can report Richie Incognito has accepted professional help in wake of severe mental stress from Wells report.
— Jeff Darlington (@JeffDarlington) February 28, 2014
Incognito is currently being treated at a facility in Arizona after what has been some very stressful times for him & those closest to him.
— Jeff Darlington (@JeffDarlington) February 28, 2014
That comes right after Incognito's bizarre interview about bashing his Ferrari.
Incognito welcomed them in. The station's story said he was polite.
His explanation of why his $300,000 car got knocked around with a bat was a little odd.
"So what happened?" the reporter asked.
"To what?" Incognito asked.

U.S. Premiere

Theater 1 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1), T1
Toll Booth
2010. Turkey. Written and directed by Tolga Karaçelik. With Serkan Ercan, Zafer Diper, Nergis Öztürk. Kenan is a taciturn 35-year-old toll booth attendant shuffling between the monotony of his traffic-besieged box and caring for his ailing but domineering father at home. Desperate to resist his father's attempt to marry him off to a neighbor, and equally determined to prove his worth by fixing his father's old car, Kenan edges ever closer to a nervous breakdown. Making wonderful use of an expert cast (led by the excellent Ercan), a richly saturated color palette, and keen art direction, writer-director Karaçelik has crafted a wry, heartbreaking ode to lost dreams in a sleep-walking world. In Turkish; English subtitles. 96 min.

Google is in the house
This month Google adds more than 1,000 new destinations to experience via street view. It looks like we are one of the first destinations locally (Rochester, N.Y.) to open our doors beyond the street.
This is exciting to us for a few reasons – the first, visitors onsite will now have the opportunity to use their mobile's to know where they are throughout the house and museum. Secondly, for those that may never come to Eastman House it is an opportunity to invite all to come on in and learn a little bit more about us.
Lastly, we realize as an institution another important aspect for Eastman House is what is going on behind the scenes – our schools (Photographic Preservation and Collections Management & The L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation) and students working in the collections, our conservation labs and photo processes and finally, the vaults. We are pleased to reveal our technology vault three floors underground (are we the first museum to do so?)
So feel free to take a drive and look around – make sure to check out the gardens too!
Having also partnered with Google's Art Project (the cultural institute), we became the first photography museum to open its collections to the world. More information here, here and here.
Eastman House holds nearly 500,000 photographs representing every major process and the work of more than 14,000 photographers. In addition to the photographs, the collection holds important examples of the photograph's role in our culture over time – including photojournalism, advertising, etc. The Motion Picture Collection is one of the major moving image archives in the U.S.
Eastman House is – and always has been – an independent nonprofit institution. We rely on the support of donors, locally and internationally so we can continue to tell the story of photography and motion pictures.
Our new director Bruce Barnes relays our situation honestly, "Frankly, it is a challenge to fund a non-profit institution of our scope in a metropolitan area of one million. George Eastman House has always been an independent, non-profit institution, but the prevailing economic environment has made fundraising more difficult – creating a shortfall at a critical time".
Thanks for your consideration and above all else take a look!

I had no clue Zeta Gundam was only available for a certain period of time. Its hard to plow through 54 episodes of several series in a given period of time. I'm not some creepy waste of space otaku with all the time in the world to watch TV and get fat. Tell me now if people who hold down a job, a relationship, an extended social life with many hobbies, and continuing higher education are not your target customers.
I opt to pay for crunchyroll in place of cable TV because I don't give a damn about most of American TV and what I do care about I can watch on SciFi and Hulu in the same crappy, choppy quality I can find here. (I don't care if the video feed on naruo is 720p; put an old [DB] release next to the CR equivalent and cry at the difference in quality.)
Does posting video for a limited period of time on a fledgling service like crunchyroll hurt the site and the distributor? Hell, I'm tempted to buy Zeta, Unicorn, et al and upload the files to the net out of spite. The only edge CR has over the competition is that there is NO legal competition.
To date I've downloaded several series illegally for lacking or quality or being removed before I could finish them:
AirMaster: The second to last episode had an audio sync issue for months; The audio quality on the ancient Divx from Kick Ass Anime played better on my 7.1 speaker setup while the audio from CR hissed and shrilled throughout every episode.
Captain Harlock: The stream kept cutting out halfway through watching the last 10 episodes.
Naruto: The OP and Ending were not subbed for months.
Last Exile: My ancient compressed DVD rip from Exiled Destiny played better on my new 1080i HD Sony.
Zeta Gundam: Just found it at 1.5 mb a second at 720p, 5.1 digital, hard corded subs and a tight little avi container..
Derp de diddly derp... I'm done raging now that I've made my point and found the series "elsewhere" elsewhere.
Face your destiny not without fear but with courage
I'll let my fresh food get cold while I add my input.
Certainly I have to agree with your every point, including the venting. I had been watching about 1-2 episodes of Gundam every day since it came out, Zeta was released sometime during that period, then I conveniently moved on to Zeta when I finished Gundam, and continued my pattern of 1-2 episodes every day (minus a few days of 0 as CR has other good shows to watch). Now isn't that a reasonable speed? Yet what has happened here conflicts with reason. That combined with the lack of any clear and accurate warning undeniably earns the title of unfair!
I have intentionally been a blind fan of Crunchyroll this whole time. I have not felt from the start that CR offers any just reward for premium membership. "See it a week before everyone else" means nothing at all to me, as I'll be watching the show at the same weekly rate either way. I pay CR to pay the creators, so they haven't had any need for any specific reward for me.
I like the people making anime, but I cannot reimburse the creators as DVDs and such are unaffordable for the rate at which I watch anime, plus I usually watch it all only once making DVDs yet less justified. I do not relish in obtaining fansubs for free, as I worry of the state of those who bring me such happiness. In compliance with my honor, every fansub I watched I tracked as a debt I needed to pay off, when the day comes that I find how to get money to the creators in a reasonable manner. CR answered my problems, and I swore loyalty immediately. CR has been a convenient means for paying off my debts.
CR had quite a peak, but its light has already become so dim. Even through all the times of CR not getting all the good shows, I had faith that there were enough people like me to keep CR on their feet. But the first big blow to my loyalty was when a lot of old shows suddenly got removed in a large wave (http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-616042/concern-regarding-several-removed-shows/). This event is of the same nature.
With the primary exception of Bleach, I have not watched fansubs ever since CR started. But what do you expect to happen with me more than halfway through a show and it gets removed? And not just any show, but a classic? And not just any classic, but Gundam? That sure is a lot of pressure. Oh, how sad I am. I must betray my honor, I must betray Crunchyroll, I must betray the creators. Oh so painfully sad is my state.
I'll give in to the reality of CRs state, but I'll still stick with my optimisms and delusions. It can still save me from much betrayal while it lasts. I'll maintain my membership, but sad am I to see the revived allure of fansubs.
I'll assume now that all shows here are available only on a temporary contracted basis. Since CR may lack the funds to hold them all here, I guess I must shift my priority away from all current shows and finish all catalog shows. I guess that'll lead to a subsequent battle of watching the presently current shows before they too vanish. Then I suppose it'll eventually reach a point of me increasing my debts again.
I suppose I'll copy this to another location, as the administration needs to reflect on this more than they have.
Ah...my plate...so cold...
I agree with both of you.
For me, I was watching to see if I wanted to buy the series in the Anime Collections edition that is being sold. I had seen clips of it and from those clips I didn't really want to buy or watch it. However after watching about 7 episodes or so. I was heavily weighing buying it as the story became better. Now I don't know though since I can't watch anymore episodes here to figure out if it is worth buying or not.
I was already angry with the release of Unicorn only on BD and now this. I love Gundam.
I think as my case shows this does hurt the distibutors and CR. The only reason I was even back on CR was to watch Zeta. I haven't really watched anything on here since Naruto went to filler crap and even then I was watching only 1 or 2 episodes a month. They keep pushing Anime Membership and I feel like why should I bother if you don't carry the anime I like. More Gundam all the time would seriously make me consider it.
Oh well I hope AnimeChannel on youtube will allow me to watch at least a season of Zeta so I can decide if I want to own it or not.
Ah fudge! I thought it was on till next month. Only got through 20 episodes off and on. Oh well, it was nice to see some of a real robot classic.
I tried to make Premium Member aware of this by posting about it in the CR Premium Members closed group.
All the necessary information is there but basically these Gundam shows were only made available here to promote Gundam Unicorn. If we could have them here for longer, we would.
Probably working my ass off
it should have been in the intial post or put on the front page, not some random forum nobody checks.
We have a closed group? I'm sorry but that's a useless place to post information. If Squishyroll (as my law buddies call this site) can remind us every fricken time to watch an episode that its for premium members only (which we already are) then why the $*#$ can't you change the message or add to the message to warn us every single time we watch an episode that it will be taken down on such and such date?
Seriously, excuses are not what we want to hear. We understand this is a work in progress but unless we hear what progress has been made to address simple issues like properly warning subscribers (especially paying subscribers) of an expiration date we will only get more frustrated with this service.
Face your destiny not without fear but with courage
I guess the staff may not be able to get them back but it would have been nice to have a better indication as to when the show would no longer be available.
I finished MSG right around the time Zeta went up and moved on to Zeta but I barely got in 5 episodes before it was taken down. It seemed like it wasn't on very long at all.
To avoid this happening again I plowed through SEED Destiny in a week though I could have paced that a bit slower since it's up until the end of the month at least on YouTube.
I really would like to see Zeta and I few options other than to buy it online so if CR could get it back even for a another limited time it'd be much appreciated.
Same thing here... I finish the First Gundam in a moderate pace because life duties... When I just started Zeta... What's going on??? Where are the videos??? It is pretty annoying when you are a fan of anime, trying to promote the correct way of watching the shows legally and supporting all the anime business, and all of a sudden the series you are watching just vanish and you are supposed to buy the DVD's in order to continue/finish it. If you keep year after year your membership come on, at least try to keep these series for us MEMBERS of Crunchy and that pays for it. I understand that money always speaks louder, and also you are not able to webcast all the shows from Japanese TV, but the ones you got try to keep for your clients.
Anyways, you guys are treading a way that never was walked before, and problems, mistakes and lack of understanding from us will happen, but try to respect YOUR CLIENTS a little more giving us at least a heads up that some series are for just a time, for example showing them at the Anime Menu in a different option.
Well I am still a supporter and thank you for your hard work...
I agree it would have been cooler if Bandai allowed you to keep the series for premium members only after April 22, but oh well at least you got to keep Wing I've always wanted to watch the rest of the series.
Life is a bitch, so if its easy you're doing it wrong
zeta is back in cr
I'll keep everything balance as possible

Trouble in Washington always brings senators and other government officials rushing to the news programs with concern about the problems. Then it begins with their favorite expression, "The American People."
Yet in the course of usual government business there would not seem to be any concern for "The American People" in their deliberations. This expression reaches biblical proportions with their concern.
Where was the worry and concern for "The American People" when it came to the current affair. The ongoing war, wrapped in a cloak of patriotism to promote and dissuade dissent. Where were "The America people" when our elected leaders did not consider "The American People" with great losses of sons, daughters, fathers and mothers and families.
What about the people with storm losses; thirst, hunger, jobs possession, sickness, death.
What about the continued attachment of riders to new legislation benefiting (special/friends, businesses, etc.) busting the budget.
The whole bunch is a sorry lot. We could do with less concern for "The American People."
We all should be concerned about "American Legislators" and their friends.
We have a sorry government.

William Lane Craig Answers My Follow-Up Question...Finally!
Based on Lessing's ditch Craig admits that historical evidence does not lead the believer to "certainty." Right that. In fact it's even worse than that. Christian, tell us, what is the probability that your faith is true based upon the historical evidence alone? Be honest. How sure are you that you are right about Christianity? Remember, you must be correct about a whole host of essential so-called historical truths like the incarnation, virgin birth, atonement, salvation, resurrection and so forth. In any debate you've heard on the resurrection, for instance, what would you say the probability is for the winner, even if we grant that the winner is Craig himself? 51% 60% 65% 70%? It's not even close to certainty, is it? The lack of certainty isn't the problem here. The problem is that Christians are called upon to stake their whole existence on a probability of historical evidence, depending on how he or she judges the case. So what is it, Christian? I'm very curious. Do you say that it's 60% probable the Bible is true? Do you say that it's 60% probable Jesus bodily arose from the dead? Why not? That's the best you can say, I think, based upon the historical evidence, and even then I totally disagree. But does a 60% probability demand that you to stake your entire life and all that you do upon it? I think not.
Craig admits even more than this, though. Since people don't have access to the evidence how can they be sure their faith is true? According to Craig, God will not abandon us to the evidence of history or the "accidents of geography." So there must be some basis for these people to believe other than the evidence, he said. Really? How does he come to this conclusion, that there must be some basis other than the evidence to believe? Isn't this assuming that which he needs to prove? He's assuming his Christian God to explain away a problem—-the problem of people who do not have adequate evidence to believe—-and that his God would surely not ask them to believe if they couldn't have access to the evidence. He's also assuming that he has the correct understanding of the relevant Biblical texts, something which I've seen interpreted differently.
So let's put this into perspective. Craig claims to have access to this evidence but even with this access he cannot know with certainty his faith is correct. An interesting question at this point would be to ask him how probable he thinks Christianity is based solely on the historical evidence he has access to. Again, 60% 70%? Then based on this probability he must also stake his claims about the inner witness of the Holy Spirit on the probability he has properly exegeted the relevant Biblical texts. Again, 60% 70%? Multiplying these two conclusions alone at 70% each, we get an overall probability for his claims of the inner witness of the Holy Spirit at 49% (70% times 70%). Not much of a claim if you ask me, even granting him the strength of his arguments.
Then when asked my follow-up question Craig stumbles a bit. Did you hear it? All he seems to conclude is that this witness reveals that God exists and that a person has assurance she is saved. And that isn't even an answer, for we still need to know more about this God (a pantheist god, is after all, a God), why we need to be saved, from what do we need saved, how we are saved, what we must do in response to his offer of salvation, and so forth, and so on. He even admits he doesn't know exactly where the limits are. These limits are "vague" and "ambiguous," which is so good of a dodge that Sarah Palin would be proud of the way he handled the question!
Even to suggest, as Harris does, that such a witness "starts the regenerative process," doesn't help. For Craig affirms he knows the truth of Christianity by this inner witness of the Spirit! If this so-called witness merely starts some process, then how it ends that process isn't explained! Point in fact, Craig would claim that there are essential propositional truths that someone must believe in to be saved. He would not think a liberal Christian is saved, who does not believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus, or someone who didn't believe Jesus was God in the flesh, or someone who didn't accept the Trinitarian God. These are propositional truths and they are based upon historical claims (who, for instance, would claim to know Jesus arose from the dead purely on philosophical grounds--not even Swinburne!?). For Craig, there are essential propositional truths that when believed make someone a Christian. Why then doesn't Craig say the inner witness of the Holy Spirit reveals all of the essential propositional truths necessary for salvation?
Then he finally turns the tables on me. He chuckles while he says, "Why should he (that is me) be setting the standard as to what [content] God wants to provide?" Again, this all assumes he is correct about everything he argues for, doesn't it? Who sets the standard? Well, the obvious answer is that the rules of evidence and the reasonableness of argumentation set the standard for what I can believe, and that's it. If there is a reasonable God he should know what those standards are, otherwise he's asking us to believe against the standards that reasonable people demand, those that he supposedly created in us. It's simply not reasonable to believe the inner witness of the Holy Spirit is available to everyone, or that it should be used as an excuse for believing without access to the available evidence. The bottom line is that if the Holy Spirit provides its own sufficient evidence to believe, then it should also provide all of the necessary and essential propositional content to the believer for being saved. That's something I don't hear Craig saying, because this very content is derived soley from the probability of historical investigations, and those conclusions can only result in some level of probability.

CANTON St. Lawrence County failed to submit an annual financial report for 2012 on time to the state Comptrollers Office but has no doubt it will eventually be identified as a fiscally stressed community.
I would expect so, Treasurer Kevin M. Felt said. It wont be a shock. We already know where were at.
Audit results of the county released in May by the Comptrollers Office reported that the county had cash flow problems and a marked decline in surplus funds, and that dealing with the lack of revenue has meant program cuts, tax increases and the possibility of an operating deficit.
Weve been saying for the last several years, were under fiscal stress, Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said. If a report comes out and says were not, that will be an interesting day.
The Comptrollers Office recently issued state-wide fiscal stress scores for municipalities but St. Lawrence County was not rated because it did not file its annual report for 2012 by May 31.
That was because the treasurers office was adjusting to a new accounting management system and waiting on several issues that affected the 2012 bottom line. The report was turned in last week, Mr. Felt said.
We just got the books closed, he said.
A second report from the Comptrollers Office is expected, Mr. Felt said.
The county was not alone in being behind. The Comptrollers Office listed 124 communities that have not filed, including the town of Antwerp in Jefferson County, the towns of Bombay and Malone in Franklin County and the towns of Hermon and Rossie in St. Lawrence County.
Two dozen communities were designated as financially stressed. Franklin County was significantly stressed. The towns of Clare and Clifton in St. Lawrence County and the town of Lyonsdale in Lewis County were listed as susceptible to fiscal stress.
The Comptrollers Office issued the report as an early warning system to help motivate municipalities and educate state leaders on systemic problems.
St. Lawrence County does not need more education on its financial standing, Legislative Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, said.
Theres no surprise we would be listed as a county under fiscal stress, he said.

Would you know anything about this?
While cleaning out my Mothers house to our surprise in the dugout part of the basement we found a dilapitated box full of sterling silver items. Oh such shame! One of the items did have a stamp on it of 1929 so we are thinking these items were my Grandmothers items that somehow got put down there when my Mom and Dad had bought the house from her parents. This item is sterling silver but has been painted green and we are hoping we can get the green paint off it but we are not sure what this would have been used for. It has 2 little prongs on the side of where you would maybe put a small spoon or fork or something like that.
The bowl measures side to side 7 inches and 2 1/2 inches deep, approx 22 inches around and from the bottom to the top is about 11 inches high. There is a stamp on the bottom with a number 250 and has a crest that looks like a quarter moon and looks like it could be a face in that quarter moon. Underneath the moon looks like it could have 2 little stars and a k but it is so faint it is hard to make out. It also looks like it could say The Acme Silver Company. All around the bottom of the base there is about 14 circular emblems that looks like it could have a 4 leaf clover in the center of the emblems.
We are very curious to see if anyone would know anything about this piece and how old it may be?
Again thanks in advance for any help you can give us.

Based on your images it's part of a late 19th century pickle castor. It originally had a decorative glass container to hold the pickles, the rest on the side was to hold the tongs/fork for the pickles. here's a link to what it may have looked like complete;

Thanks so much for looking at this for us, we I wondered if the little prong thing on the side would hold a small spoon, fork, etc. Thanks again
