MASSENA - A Massena man who allegedly assaulted his girlfriend, leading to her hospitalization is behind bars after being charged with a variety of offenses including assault and menacing.
Village police charged Aaron K. Lavallee, 27, of 46 Brighton Ave., with second-degree assault, second-degree menacing, third-degree assault and third-degree criminal mischief on Sunday after being called to Massena Memorial Hospital due to a dispute between Mr. Lavallee and a doctor there.
Aaron had left the hospital prior to my arrival, Village Police Ptl. Cody Wilson said. Once inside the hospital I began speaking with Kinsley (Roberts, Lavallees girlfriend).
Ms. Roberts said the dispute began Sunday morning when they began fighting over money.
In her statement to police she said, My boyfriend Aaron and I got into an argument over money he couldnt find. Aaron started yelling at me, he was really p*****.
The alleged dispute was just getting started though.
Aaron grabbed my iPad that was sitting on the bed and threw it against the wall. My iPad case came open. Aaron walked over and stomped on my iPad, breaking the screen, she said. Aaron then came over, took my phone off the bed and threw it against the wall, causing a hole in the wall. My phone was not broken.
At that point, according to Ms. Roberts, Lavallee grabbed a knife and the altercation became physical.
At this time Aaron picked up a three inch pocket knife, color red, off of the bed. Aaron placed the blade of the knife against my stomach and said, I could just kill you right now, she recalled. Aaron started to jab me with the knife and I could feel a sharp pain where the knife was going into my stomach.
At that moment, Ms. Roberts said she began to fear she was going to be stabbed.
I am scared that Aaron is really going to stab me at this point, she said. Aaron then put the knife down and started to punch me in the right side of my face and head.
Shortly after that, Ms. Roberts said her memory went blank.
I do not know how many times he hit me, because he hit me so fast. I felt helpless like I could not stop him. I was in extreme pain in my head where he was punching me, she said. Aaron then picked the knife back up and put it against my stomach.
Thats the last thing Ms. Roberts said she remembers.
I dont remember anything after this point, she said. The next thing I remember, I woke up in the hospital.
In his deposition, Ptl. Wilson recalled seeing three scabs on her stomach, allegedly from where Lavallee had cut her during the dispute.
I asked Kinsley if it hurt when he put the knife on her stomach, to which Kinsley replied, Yes, he cut me with the knife. I have scabs from it. Kinsley then proceeded to lift her hospital shirt and show me the marks on her stomach, he said.
Lavallee was arraigned before Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility, where he remains on $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
A 21-year-old Wellington man pleaded guilty Monday to four first degree felony charges in connection with a rape and attack of a young woman last January.
Dwaine Stacey Shaw filed the pleas in Seventh District Court in Price to aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, rape and forcible sodomy. Charges of aggravated sexual assault and aggravated robbery were dismissed.
According to Wellington Police Sgt. Kelly Maynes, the defendant was quiet during the proceedings, answering the questions of Judge George M. Harmond Jr. respectfully while standing with his attorney, David Allred.
"This was a very difficult day for the victim of this crime," explained Maynes, who was the lead investigator in the case. "It was hard for her to be there but I think it was important for her to hear him take responsibility for his crimes. I think eventually it will matter to her that he showed some remorse."
According to Maynes, the possibility of a trial was terrifying to the victim as even attending court for his plea was devastating.
"As they explained what the charges were and what they entailed, she had to relive the experience," he explained. "The emotion for her was so strong but she was able to hear him say, "Yes, I did it."
The incident began on January 13 in the early morning hours when Shaw - wearing a full clown mask - broke into the woman's apartment in Wellington, held her at knife point and raped her. According to Maynes, the ordeal lasted for between 15 to 30 minutes before the victim saw her opportunity and fought to get away.
Shaw's name was first given to investigators by the victim, who was asked by police to name everyone she knew who fit her attacker's build. Early on in the investigation, Shaw's name would surface again pinning him as the main suspect.
"There were items left behind at the scene and we were able to tie those items to Shaw through a purchase he had made. That really helped to move our investigation forward," explained Maynes. "We also had the DNA evidence but our own investigation led us to Shaw before it came back. So when the DNA hit, we were ready to make the arrest."
According to Maynes, Shaw began cooperating right after he was arrested and presented with the state's DNA evidence. This early cooperation allowed investigators to locate the mask and weapon used during the attack.
"This was a horribly violent crime," commented Maynes, who was not only lead investigator but also the case's victim advocate. "I can't even imagine what she went through. When we got the mask and weapon he used, I couldn't believe it. Just seeing that mask, I can't imagine. It wasn't a kid's mask, it wasn't a toy. This was a terrifying thing which covered his whole face."
The Wellington sergeant reported that at the behest of the county attorney, Shaw had taken a polygraph examination during his confession.
"It was scary the way that his version of events mirrored hers almost exactly," he said. "She discussed with us the manner in which she saw her opportunity to fight and was able to get away. She got out, got into her car and headed into Price."
According to Maynes, the victim did not report the crime until she reached a phone in Price. Just as she was calling in, a neighbor in Wellington who had heard loud noises and screaming was also calling police. With one call from Wellington and one from Price hitting dispatch at about the same time, initial rumors of multiple masked rapists began and spread.
"Social media created a monster on its own with this one," said Maynes. "The hysteria and fear that people had and the calls every local police force was inundated with caused an overload of information."
That fear stayed in the area for some time as funding issues at the state crime lab caused case results to be delayed through spring. Shaw was arrested on May 8.
"He was apprehended without incident and, honestly, his body language spoke of relief when we arrested him," continued Maynes. "We initially interviewed everyone involved with the case but issues with Shaw put him at the center of our investigation from very early on."
Shaw will now be the subject of a pre-sentencing report through Adult Probation and Parole prior to his sentencing on Nov. 26.

MASSENA Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray voiced frustrations Monday afternoon over the lack of cooperation hes receiving from the Massena Memorial Hospital board of managers for the committee hes formed to help improve communication among the board, the administration and the employees.
We have had two meetings, he said. The second one was better attended than the first.
In addition to him, Mr. Gray said, the first meeting was attended by representatives from the Civil Service Employees Association and middle management, with the second meeting being attended by CSEA, New York State Nurses Association and middle management representatives.
He said that before the second meeting, hospital CEO Charles F. Fahd II sent his regrets, saying he had just completed a 12-hour visit with a physician being recruited to join the hospital staff.
The discussions have led to some items at the hospital that Mr. Gray said he needs to look into.
I need to investigate whether they are true or not true, valid or invalid, he said, adding the concerns expressed were regarding the hospital in general and how the hospital does business.
Thus far there has not been any attendance from a hospital board member, Mr. Gray said. But lets look at the positive. We have had good discussion at the meetings so far.
According to the hospitals website, its board is made up of Chairman Andrew T. Spanburgh, Vice Chairwoman Tina M. Buckley, Secretary David M. MacLennan, Dr. Bedros Bakirtzian, Sue Bellor, Gary F. Borgosz, Real C. Frenchie Coupal, Melanie Cunningham, Edward J. Fay, Edward Hamel, Paul B. Morrow and Darrel P. Paquin.
Mr. Spanburgh said he is too busy to attend Mr. Grays committee meetings, but if another member of the hospital board would like to, he or she would be more than welcome to do so.
Im surprised that no one has gone, he said. I have no comment on whether they should or should not. I cant tell them what to do.
Mr. Spanburgh said he is busy attending three or four hospital meetings per week, in addition to the boards regular monthly meeting.
Were all volunteers, and were spending a lot of time on hospital business right now, Mr. Spanburgh said. Hes only talking, but weve been working.
Mr. Gray also said the committee will continue to analyze and research options for the hospitals future.
I dont think were going to find a magic bullet or mysterious remedy for the hospitals problems, but the dialogue has been very positive, he said. I think it (the committee) can be a model for what the hospital board and senior management should have in place.
Last month Mr. Gray announced the formation of a committee to explore the hospitals future. At that time he said the committee would include representation from the Town Council, board of managers and hospital management, and local representatives from the CSEA and the New York State Nurses Association.
Mr. Spanburgh was critical of the announcement and said he didnt see why such a committee was being formed at this time.
We havent come to any conclusion (at the hospital). Thats why we think its a little premature to come and make the joint committee, he said.

Waukesha, WI -- In a battle worthy of two first place squads, the Beloit College Men's Basketball team narrowly fell at Carroll University on Wednesday night 74-72 in a Midwest Conference game.
Carroll started fast and led 22-8 less than eight minutes into the game. But the Buccaneers regrouped and went on an extended 17-4 run to pull within 26-25 with 5:44 left in the half. CU led 33-28 at the break.
Beloit completed its turnaround in the first three minutes of the second half, coming out of the lockerroom on a 9-2 run to take a 37-35 lead. They extended their lead to as large as eight, at 46-38, and still led 60-55 with 6:50 remaining. The Pioneers came back and tied it up at 62-62 with 5:29 left. The teams traded the lead several times in the final five minutes. Tied at 72-all with 28 seconds left, Carroll hit a pair of free throws to go up. The Bucs had two shots in the final eight seconds, missing a pair of three-pointers, trhe last with one second on the clock, but couldn't get the game-winner.
The Buccaneers shot 50.9% for the game, 58.1% in the second half. James Lazarcik had his third straight double-double with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Steve McAfee Jr. had 20 points and Tyler Butke 12.
Beloit is back at Flood Arena on Saturday when they host Cornell College in a 5:00 p.m. tipoff.

So, what do you want to be when you grow up? It's a question schoolkids have been asked for decades, sometimes on their very first day of kindergarten - and at that time, they have years to think about it. But for some, the wait is over. In just a few short weeks, Maine's soon-to-be high school graduates will leave the nest. Today several hundred seniors converged on the Augusta Civic Center as part of the Jobs for Maine's Graduates program, or JMG, a nonprofit organization that exists to improve the prospects of Maine's future leaders and workforce. Some kids say they have it figured out. Some haven't. But as Jennifer Mitchell reports most say they understand what they're getting into.
There's one thing you notice right away when talking to today's graduates: There's a lot of contingency planning. Today's high school graduates say they know they're entering a potentially difficult career environment. College tuition fees will likely leave them with tens of thousands of dollars of debt in just four years' time. Financial aid is scarce, and not every career they might want to pursue exists in Maine.
Bianca Abdallah: "A lot of it is settling, which is really sad, but when you think about the economy and how everything is, it's really hard to just pursue what you want. You have to find something that's marketable so that you can get a job."
Jennifer Mitchell: "So if I handed you a magic wand right now and said, 'You can have any job you want - KAZAM - what would it be?"
Bianca Abdallah: "An artist."
That's Bianca Abdallah, a senior at Portland High School, and she's trading in her potential art career for one that is perhaps a bit more stable: behavioral health, something she believes will not only be be useful, but something for which there will actually be a need.
Abdallah seems to have her life pretty much figured out - except how to pay for it. Despite a long list of acceptance letters from both in- and out-of-state universities, she doesn't know if she'll be able to afford any of them.
"My teacher always says, you know, don't worry about it, don't think about it, but it's going to be on your mind," she says. "You know, you can enjoy your time in school, which is a great thing, but when you're done, whether or not you find a job, paying all those loans back takes a lot of your finances away from you, and you can't really enjoy the money that you make with your career because you already know where a lot of it is going."
So she's taking a summer to consider her options. Of the 58,000 kids in high school right now, about 85 percent are likely to graduate on time. For some, it will take an extra year. Eighteen-year-old Philip Dumont of Gardiner is one of them. He's in his fifth year of high school, but he says running into trouble that caused him to repeat his junior year was not an academic death sentence, but a life lesson.
"No matter how many quote-unquote 'failures' you get, you will always be able to succeed if you just do not give up. The only failure is not trying," Dumont says.
Dumont hopes to study business and eventually earn an MBA from a good business school. However, like Abdallah, he doesn't have the money. But there's one avenue he's hoping will help: The military, with its GI Bill, provides education funding for veterans.
All of these students are part of a program called Jobs for Maine's Graduates, which attempts to train students in everything from manners to how to make sound financial decisions when trying to pay for school.
Graduation rates for JMG students are higher than the state average, and while the state has limited data on exactly where students go after receiving their diplomas, JMG does track its program participants, 85 percent of whom go on to a career, the military, or a post-secondary school. Right now, they're trying to figure out which.

Cracked Nut Butter
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Cracked Nut Butter was developed by Megan and Paul Potts for their clients, who were on a health journey to kick their sugar habits, build lean muscle and lose unwanted fat. From personal experience they understood the need for a sweet, but satisfying snack during the day that was made from high quality ingredients, with multiple health benefits, without compromising the pledge to quit the sugar habit that was sabotaging so many. The result was a dynamite concoction that appeals to everyone including Paleo, Primal, low carb nutrition enthusiasts and those looking to switch off peanut butter. High in protein, low carbohydrate, sweetened only with 100% whey isolate with honey. Made with raw almonds, raw pecans, 100% whey isolate with honey, unsweetened organic coconut flakes, organic virgin coconut oil, and organic pastured ghee. Has digestive enzymes, amylase, lipase, protease and lactase to promote digestive health.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - This dessert flavor mimics the old favorite of eating the batter before the cookies get baked! You won't believe that this is only nut butter without the use of any other fillers! They chose an organic three ingredient dark chocolate chip to keep the sugar minimal in this special treat.
Great in smoothies and protein shakes or on toast. Try 'Faux ice cream' recipe: Freeze peeled banana's. Put bananas into a blender with unsweetened almond milk and your favorite Cracked Nut Butter. Blend for a creamy frozen treat with the texture of the nut butter's pecans and almonds.

Whether you are concerned about the assets of your genealogical/historical society or your own personal family history research, you should consider developing and implementing a Continuity Plan. While all of us are easily the victims of procrastination, not having a plan ready can mean the difference between being up and running within hours/days or having to spend weeks, months and years recreating data and re-acquiring assets.
What Is Continuity Planning?
Based upon the Business Continuity Plan concept currently utilized in many organizations which can be applied to both societies and individuals as "caretakers" of data, Continuity Planning consists of five separate components arranged in a life-cycle format:
Over the course of the next six posts on the topic of Continuity Planning, I'll be discussing each component in detail as well as a comparison of what should be included within a plan for societies and within a plan for individuals.
Does Continuity Planning Only Involve Technology and Data?
When discussing a plan for "recovery," be it on a business, non-profit, or personal level, almost everyone first thinks of "intangible assets" such as data. The next thought involves "tangible assets" such as computers, microfiche/film readers, prints, etc. But a comprehensive Continuity Plan includes other non-technology related tangible assets often forgotten:
- books
- photographs
- furniture
- rental or office space
- supplies, etc.
And don't forget some frequently overlooked intangible assets such as:
- web/Internet presence
- revenue stream
- name recognition, etc.
Does Continuity Planning Only Involve Disasters?
I wish it were so. My first encounter with a disaster involving data was in the mid-1980s when I worked for a financial company. A fire on a lower floor of the large building did not cause water or smoke damage, but it did cause release of asbestos through the entire building. I lost several personal items, for which I was reimbursed by my employer's insurance company. But I was out of work for several days before an alternate workspace location could be secured. And then we had to recreate data based on outdated backups. Not much fun.
And in speaking with Kathryn Doyle at the California Genealogical Society and Library, I asked if the society lost any materials during the Great Quake of 1906, and if so, how they dealt with getting back into an "up and running" mode, as it were. "We lost our collection of 300 books (housed with the secretary of the society at the California Hotel which went up in smoke) in the 1906 earthquake and later advertised for donations across the country. The Newberry sent several boxes that had belonged to the governor of Pennsylvania which they already owned."
Kathryn also described how the society dealt with the loss of physical space in a city with a severe shortage of space: "The Fairmont Hotel, which was just weeks from opening on April 18, 1906, was totally gutted. The hotel opened a year later in 1907 after being totally re-done and we rented a space there."
But there are many other events which a society or a person might encounter that could easily be characterized as disasters:
- theft of a laptop, computer, USB memory stick or flash drive
- loss of a research notebook at a library or on an airplane
- a hard-drive failure
- vandalism of books, photographs or other related items
- database file corruption, etc.
The next post in this series will discuss the differences between a continuity plan for historical/genealogical societies and one for an individual pursuing genealogy research. Stay tuned!

|Two Early Monday Morning Fires
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 22 April 2013 06:11
Beaverdam and Cove Creek Fire Departments along with Watauga Rescue are on the scene of a structure fire called in just after 6:15 this morning. A witnesses saw smoke and flames coming from the home of D.L. Moody at 3560 Mountain Dale Road near Locust Gap Road, arriving firefighters
getting control of the fire in short order, according to Steve Sudderth of the Emergency Management office. Still, he estimated the structure to be a total loss. Sudderth said that there were several possible accidental causes for the fire in the living room area of the home, but with the extensive damage there, the exact cause was not determined. Moody is reportedly staying with sister and the Red Cross is helping Moody.
Todd, Meat Camp, and Creston firefighters were called just after 2:30 this morning to a call at 121 Pro Street off NC 194 North, a fire that turned out to be a chimney fire. The fire crews worked to be sure that the fire did not escape the confines, and managed to save the structure from much damage.

GORHAM, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Lightning from the storm system sparked a fire at a home on Brackett Road in Gorham.
Crews from multiple surrounding towns were called in to help because the building is 1500 ft. off the main road and there are no public fire hydrants nearby.
Lightning struck around 7:00 PM.
Gorham's fire chief says the fire was mostly contained to the attic and crews managed to knock it down pretty quickly.
The homeowners were present at the time of the lightning strike... and Chief Robert Lefebvre says they did the right thing in calling fire crews.
"Normally when it hits people will know it just from the severity of the hit. It's like an earthquake hitting your house... and usually there's visable damage to the building when it hits," said Lefebvre. "You'll a lot of times lose power even if it momentarily. You may lose power and it may come back on... and the lightning can follow electrical lines in the building."

42 U.S. Code § 7423 - Stack heights
(a) Heights in excess of good engineering practice; other dispersion techniques
The degree of emission limitation required for control of any air pollutant under an applicable implementation plan under this subchapter shall not be affected in any manner by—
(1) so much of the stack height of any source as exceeds good engineering practice (as determined under regulations promulgated by the Administrator), or
The preceding sentence shall not apply with respect to stack heights in existence before December 31, 1970, or dispersion techniques implemented before such date. In establishing an emission limitation for coal-fired steam electric generating units which are subject to the provisions of section 7418 of this title and which commenced operation before July 1, 1957, the effect of the entire stack height of stacks for which a construction contract was awarded before February 8, 1974, may be taken into account.
(b) Dispersion technique
For the purpose of this section, the term "dispersion technique" includes any intermittent or supplemental control of air pollutants varying with atmospheric conditions.
(c) Regulations; good engineering practice
Not later than six months after August 7, 1977, the Administrator, shall after notice and opportunity for public hearing, promulgate regulations to carry out this section. For purposes of this section, good engineering practice means, with respect to stack heights, the height necessary to insure that emissions from the stack do not result in excessive concentrations of any air pollutant in the immediate vicinity of the source as a result of atmospheric downwash, eddies and wakes which may be created by the source itself, nearby structures or nearby terrain obstacles (as determined by the Administrator). For purposes of this section such height shall not exceed two and a half times the height of such source unless the owner or operator of the source demonstrates, after notice and opportunity for public hearing, to the satisfaction of the Administrator, that a greater height is necessary as provided under the preceding sentence. In no event may the Administrator prohibit any increase in any stack height or restrict in any manner the stack height of any source.
Source(July 14, 1955, ch. 360, title I, § 123, as added Pub. L. 95–95, title I, § 121,Aug. 7, 1977, 91 Stat. 721.)
Effective Date
Section effective Aug. 7, 1977, except as otherwise expressly provided, see section 406(d) ofPub. L. 95–95, set out as an Effective Date of 1977 Amendment note under section 7401 of this title.

"Sitting on the beach" greeting card by Toni Hopper. Ships within 2 - 3 business days and includes a plain white envelop for mailing and/or gift giving. Available in vertical and horizontal orientations.
I'm originally from California but live in Oklahoma and can claim Colorado and a few other states as home. Living in Oklahoma offers many opportunities, even for artists. A conversation I had once with a fellow photographer who had traveled the world put it in perspective. "I realized that once I was out there, coming back to Oklahoma, I discovered everything I needed to accomplish could be done right here." OK, so those weren't her exact words, but fairly close. I agree. When I moved here 17 years ago, I felt like art and culture were lacking. That has changed so much in the last decade. Artists are discovering Oklahoma has a great deal to offer and for me, as a photographer and writer, I know I have much to explore still. Connecting...

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
It's been over a week now since an 18 year old man shot up Trolley Square, killed and wounded nine people and then lost his own life in a hail of bullets.
And once again a common tragedy has brought together a community and a state.
Of course the mess that took place in Salt Lake last Monday night will be debated and argued about for a long time. Should malls have more and better armed security? Some will, once again claim that guns need to be regulated. Meanwhile some gun rights advocates will say had a lot of people been armed that night he would have either been stopped after only a couple of shootings or he might not have done it at all because he knew that he would have been able to make much of a mark. Some will want to explore the psyche of this kid and see what other kids fit the mold, to determine who might be the next shooter. There will be debates on all fronts.
Right now there are people who lost people they love, others have probably lost their physical health for life and hundreds who were there are facing a lifetime of vivid, grotesque memories.
What we need to concentrate on is the healing from this and the fact that a hero, Kenneth Hammond, an Ogden police officer, more than likely kept many more people from death and injury.
People talk about closure in things, but in reality it seldom comes for people who were in the middle of it or lost people they love. It is easy for those not involved in a tragedy to say "time will cure all."
While never seeing or being involved in an event such as occurred in Trolley Square, from my personal experience of tragedy, it never goes away. It sometimes fades for awhile, but it will also come back in haunting ways, when you least suspect it.
Despite our differences of opinion or policy, what we need to do is all love each other, as Utahns, as Americans.

Turkcell is the first mobile operator to offer campaign management for marketers and advertisers using Microsoft Tag.
MobilKod is a free service that enables agencies to create and deploy Tags and measure the results. When Tags are scanned with the free Tag app, they unlock the interactive mobile experience provided by the brand or advertiser, such as a video, photo slideshow, or mobile site.
"As an established innovator in mobile marketing, our mission is to integrate mobile channels into the marketing mix for 360-degree marketing, as well as create additional revenues and expand mobile marketing through interactive experiences and advertising applications," says Sureyya Ciliv, CEO of Turkcell.
"In order to do that, we aim to transform mobile media into a highly responsive, measurable and interactive channel. Enterprises can use this channel to reach existing and potential customers while measuring the rate of return from their investments via detailed reports and analyses."
Turkcell is investing in innovative services and products, such as location-based services, augmented reality solutions, display advertising, conceptual branded ad packages, mobile TV advertising, and video advertising for companies and brands. MobilKod is a new service to expand this product portfolio and provides the critical ability for brands to create and measure interactive campaigns that connect their products and services to convenient, on-the-go experiences for consumers.
The MobilKod Tag app is available in Turkey for free at http://gettag.mobi/tr on all supported devices, including Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, J2ME, Symbian, and Windows Mobile.

text: Article | American Economic Review: Papers and Proceedings Do Strict Capital Requirements Raise the Cost of Capital? Bank Regulation, Capital Structure and the Low Risk Anomaly Malcolm Baker and Jeffrey Wurgler Traditional capital structure theory predicts that reducing banks' leverage reduces the risk and cost of equity but does not change the weighted average cost of capital, and thus the rates for borrowers. We confirm that the equity of better-capitalized banks has lower beta and idiosyncratic risk. However, over the last 40 years, lower-risk banks have not had lower costs of equity (lower stock returns), consistent with a stock market anomaly previously documented in other samples. A calibration suggests that a binding 10 percentage point increase in Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets could double banks' risk premia over Treasury bills.

With quilted baffle construction to optimize down placement and a contoured mummy shape, the Micro sleeping bags feature the best warmth-to-weight ratio in their class. A unique drawstring opening at the foot helps regulate temperature, and the MC III can be converted from a technical sleeping bag to an open duvet by simply unzipping it. The 55:45 fill ratio and form-fitting shape allow the bag to rotate with you throughout the night. The soft-touch lining fabric is down-proof and highly breathable for comfort, and an easily-accessible security pocket inside the bag is ideal for stowing electronics to preserve battery performance in cold weather.
The Micro Series is Sea to Summit's choice for cycle touring across the Pyrenees, adventure travel on the Inca Trail in South America and light backpacking in the Sierras. These down sleeping bags are so revolutionary we can't fit all of the information here, so check out this series of articles on our blog!

Comments about Sea to Summit MC III 28° F Sleeping Bag:
The combo of using the Sea to Summit MC III 28 and Reactor Extreme Thermolite Liner is PERFECT for 3 season Hammock camping. As an International Disaster relief volunteer I am always on call and I'm never quite sure what conditions I will be sent to on a moments notice. The "bottom" hole feature in this bag is GREAT for sleeping bag entry and exit in a hammock shelter (this can be a real pain at times) I can use various combinations of using the liner with the bag to get comfortable from 20 degrees to 80! I love it!

Comments about Sea to Summit MC III 28° F Sleeping Bag:
This bag has found its way into the upper echelon of my gear. Although the price may have taken a toll on my wallet, the premium quality you get from this bag made it all worthwhile. I have not slept in a more comfortable sleeping bag. The down seems to just fill up the space you're not using. Only note, even though I am 5'11, I had to send my regular length size back for a long. When you close up the footbox, you lose about 5" of foot space.

According to the Washington Times, the Department of Homeland Security is reportedly training Transportation Security Administration checkpoint screeners in preparation for a possible mass shooting at one of the agency's security checkpoints.
According to the Times,
It is unclear whether the TSA is conducting the reported mass shooting scenario training at airports around the nation or only at the airport where our source, a veteran of the TSA, is assigned. The TSA source claims with obvious concern that his own life, along with the lives of other unarmed TSA personnel, would be in grave danger were an airport checkpoint shooting to unfold.
The source, who has already undergone the agency training, asserted that it created a chilling scenario that has instilled fear that something may unfold: "Every day when I arrive for work, I look for an escape route in case someone opens fire. We have been told to save ourselves."
The training has compelled some to ask whether the TSA has intelligence of a possible impending checkpoint shooting.
The Times added that it is "unclear whether the alleged training is simply a prudent attempt by the agency to protect its own employees from every imaginable contingency," referencing the 2009 Christmas Day "Underwear Bomber" as a "reason to pay close attention to the details of Homeland Security's operations." According to Wikipedia, the so-called Underwear Bomber, Umar Abdulmutallab, "attempted to detonate plastic explosives hidden in his underwear" while onboard a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. The Times notes that a witness who saw Abdulmutallab board the flight has suggested that U.S. government agents permitted him to do so while knowing he was a threat to safety:

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
Our legislature has decided to make sure we refer to ourselves as a republic rather than a democracy.
In the Pledge of Allegiance we all pledge allegiance to our republic, not to a democracy. "Republic" is the proper description of our government, not "democracy."
A republic and a democracy are identical in every aspect except one. In a republic the sovereignty is in each individual person.
In a democracy the sovereignty is in the group. In other words in a democracy the majority rules. Fifty one percent gets to decide and the minority only gets a say if allowed by the majority.
So I do agree that we should be acting as a republic, but I have to say, it is beginning to feel more and more like our elected officials act more like a democracy every day.
After the elections we heard that working together would be the way to get things done. But we are right back to the old "do it my way or else" hostage mentality. Our government is going to shut down in a few days because of this.
How is this helping us get back on our feet as a country?
We are in a budget crisis all over the country. Both state and federal budgets are stressed and our elected officials are right in trying to find a way to put us back in the black. But we did not get here overnight and it was not a result of just the last two years.
I hear murmuring that state workers are paid too much and have it better than the private sector. Yet studies have shown for the most part the rank and file state worker are below their comparable counterpart in the private sector for wages.
As in many areas of both public and private jobs, there are excessive salaries at the top. And yet when questioned about that, we hear the same mantra, "We have to pay them well or we will lose them to some one else."
About once a year I go and ask my boss for a raise. I have not had one since right after I started. But as much as he recognizes my worth he is unable to honor my request and I stay anyway because I like what I do.
I respect his position and understand that the money is not there because he has had to endure pay cuts when the profits go down. I have not.
I also would not want him to give me a raise to keep me if it meant he would have to cut salaries of anyone else to do so. Or to cut job positions to make sure I got a raise.
Our elected officials tell us all we have to tighten our belts, yet none of them have put forth legislation to cut their pay and benefits in the manner they are claiming that others must do.
Is the Wisconsin governor giving his state any part of his salary or benefits to help balance the budget? Did they in California? Have any of our federally elected officials like Hatch or Chaffetz stepped up ans volunteered to support such legislation for themselves?
Yes we are a republic and that means we all have a say in how our government runs. One thing was loud and clear during the last two elections and that was to quit the partisan stand-offs and get things done.
Are those voices in our republic not being heard?

University Catalog
Autumn 2015-2016Catalog update: May 15, 2015
Access archived catalogs in the Catalog Archive section.
Students are required to follow the Academic Handbook and Code of Student Responsibility
The Bachelor of Arts program in Secondary Education Visual Art prepares students to teach 6th through 12th grade in a variety of urban and suburban education settings, including public and private middle schools and high schools.
Students learn educational theories and effective teaching practices, participate in field experiences, which require observation and participation in teaching activities at multiple schools, and student teaching. Students should meet early and regularly with their advisor to design and monitor their program of study.
The program combines theoretical principles of education and field work with the student's choice of major. Students follow a general pattern of study for middle school and high school levels. In all cases, appropriate field experience plays an integral role.
Students entering the program must be able and willing to devote themselves to a program requiring a minimum of 100 hours of daytime field experiences in schools. These school-based clinical hours are completed in conjunction with methodology courses that require students to spend a half-day each week in a school. In addition, the student must spend a minimum of 11 weeks in full-time student teaching.
Please make sure you consult the Liberal Studies Requirements, Major Requirements, and College Core Requirements for full degree requirements.
NOTE: Secondary Education students now have the option to double major in Secondary Education and Art, Media, and Design. With the double major, students will graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Secondary Education and a major in Art, Media, and Design. Students should declare Secondary Education as their primary major (see Secondary Education BA/BS for degree requirements) and Art, Media, and Design (see Art, Media, and Design BA for degree requirements) as their secondary major. If you have already begun the Secondary Education Visual Arts major and want to switch to the Secondary Education Major and Art, Media, and Design double major, you should contact your academic advisor because the double major may require additional coursework. Students who pursue the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Secondary Education Visual Arts do not have the option to double major in Art Media and Design.

A wide base and an extra-long, up to 92-inch boom extension make this mic stand ideal for any gig.
The Proline Studio Boom Stand is the perfect multi-use mic stand for stage and studio. It's ideal for vocals or instruments that need overhead miking such as drums, cymbals, choirs, pianos, ensembles, and more. The PLSB1's wide-stance, tripod base with sturdy locking casters anchor it securely to the floor. Its large diameter main-shaft tubing extends the stand's height from 53" to 85". The boom arm extends up to 92" to suit any mic position, and the 2.3lb. adjustable weight is the perfect counterbalance for large diaphragm microphones. Just a half-turn of the mic stand's advanced tilt clutch makes changing mic angles quick and easy. Finally, its fully folding lightweight design allows for easy transportation in the compact folded position with no heavy cast-iron base to lug around.

Comments about ProLine Studio Boom Mic Stand:
These are very nice stands for the money and would probably do really well in a studio, but I use them for live performances. The clip that determines the arm extension breaks , I have had two break on me, the third wore out and didn't put enough pressure to hold the arm in place. There is a 5 year manufactruers waranty and they did replace the first one, I am waitng to see if they will replace the second and third. I suppose if they were in a more stabel like a inviroment like a studio, they could last longer, but on the road I would prefer a heftier model
Comments about ProLine Studio Boom Mic Stand:
I'm a production sound mixer and I use this as a static boom on location film shoots. Instead of the poor boom operator standing with a boom pole over his head for hours on end (sill really, when there's no movement needed), I use this. It rolls fairly easily, the wheels can then be locked. It gets very high (to an 8' ceiling and reaches quite far (I even have an extender on it - mainly so I can change the angle to come down from the ceiling). This thing is really a back-saver for me and I only question why I waited so long to get it.
Long/High boom, very adjustable, cable guides
A tad on the lightweight side, but heavier-duty stands are typically twice the price.
I don't think you're going to find anything like this in this price range.
Comments about ProLine Studio Boom Mic Stand:
LOVE this stand! It's solid design makes it stand tall in any weather. Easy to carry and transport and the wheels make it a breeze to use! Just hang your mic and you're ready to go. This is the best value for this kind of money. Don't even consider another stand if your looking for ease of use, solid performance or great looks because this stand has it all!

Jetrospective – 1986 Week Three
New York Jets 51 Miami Dolphins 45 (OT)
The first Jets game I ever saw was also the best. This would be the game which would lead to me becoming the Jets fan I am today. And I'm not the only one. I have read countless comments over the years from fans who mention this game as the one that converted them to Jets die-hards. So I thought it would be a popular game for us to revisit.
As a ten-year old soccer fan, living in England, my exposure to – as we called it – American Football had been fairly non-existent up to that point. However, armed with a knowledge of the basics from my Dad (a former Toronto Argonauts season-ticket holder, no less) and little else, it was not surprising that this game would lead me to become hooked, as the teams lit up the scoreboard with a record-breaking combined offensive display.
The Jets thrilling win would be the start of a ten-game winning streak, which propelled the Jets into the division lead, so it was hardly surprising I stuck with the Jets. On the day, I had decided they were my team based on little more than preferring the colour (sic) of their helmets and wanting to root for the underdog (I had heard of the Miami Dolphins before (probably from "Miami Vice") so I guess I assumed the Jets were the underdogs for this one).
It turned out that the first Superbowl my Dad had seen when he was in North America from 1968-1971 was Superbowl III, so he told me all about Joe Namath and his fur coats, countless women and the pantyhose game, so I felt justified that my selection was more than random. Well, I like to tell myself I did, but remember I was only ten, so I was probably actually just thinking "I like their hats!"
Before the Jets season cruelly ended with a rash of injuries, a five game losing streak, a false hope-inducing wild card win and the most Jet-like of late game collapses, the Jets offense was on fire. This was the game that got them going.
The first quarter was unremarkable, as the Dolphins held a 7-3 lead. It would be in the second quarter where the fireworks would begin.
The Jets got their first touchdown on a one yard Johnny Hector run after a ten-play drive. Hector, filling in for the injured Freeman McNeil, would set a Jets record with 40 carries in the game against the Patriots just weeks later. One Lester Lyles interception later and the Jets were in position for Hector to score again, this time from eight yards out for a 17-7 lead. Hector would finish with 82 yards on 22 carries.
Dan Marino would then move the ball, mainly using his wideout combo of Mark Clayton and Mark Duper. A touchdown pass to Dan Johnson was followed by an interception thrown by Jets QB Ken O'Brien and Marino's 34 yard pass to Duper put the Dolphins back on top, 21-17.
The Jets would hit back again though with two more quick touchdowns of their own. O'Brien hooked up deep downfield with wide receiver Wesley Walker, who was clinically blind in one eye, for a 65 yard touchdown, largely thanks to a mix-up in the Dolphins secondary. Then, after reserve linebacker Matt Monger recovered a fumbled punt, O'Brien would hit Walker again, this time for a 50 yard touchdown, as the speedy deep threat streaked down the sideline between two defenders. The Jets went in at the half leading 31-21.
The third quarter would not be a good one for the Jets. They managed to hold onto their lead until Marino hit Duper again, this time for a 46 yard score with four minutes gone in the third. A quick three-and-out would follow and Fuad Reveiz tied the score with a 44 yard field goal and just over seven minutes remaining. Then, things went from bad to worse, as little used reserve Dennis Bligen would fumble on his own 26 yard line, setting the Dolphins up for another short Dan Marino touchdown pass – his fifth – and a 38-31 lead at the end of three.
Both offenses were unable to score on their next few possessions, but with time winding down, O'Brien would rally his troops with an impressive 80 yard drive that featured a 36 yard catch by Al Toon, who caught seven passes for 111 yards on the day and a fourth-and-one plunge by Tony Paige, who would later go on to play for the Dolphins. Bligen atoned for his earlier fumble with a seven yard score to tie the game again, this time at 38-38.
The Jets got the ball back, but with less than three minutes to go, Walker would fumble and three plays later, Marino's sixth touchdown pass looked like it was going to give the Dolphins a 45-38 win.
The Jets got the ball back again, but were forced to punt with 1:57 remaining and all looked lost. However, some appalling clock management by the Dolphins would mean that the Jets got the ball back just 39 seconds later, but back on their own twenty yard line. The best bit was yet to come.
The drive got off to a slow start with a short pass to tight end Mickey Shuler and an eight yard scramble by the pedestrian O'Brien, but the next play was a perfectly executed hook and ladder: O'Brien over the middle to Shuler, who then pitched to Hector who would get all the way down to the Dolphins 39 with 35 seconds to go, as the Jets took their final timeout.
On first down, Shuler caught the pass again and would look to again pitch to a running back, this time Bligen, but when he saw it wasn't going to work, he broke up field and managed to get out of bounds to stop the clock with 26 seconds to go. Again Shuler was open on the next play, as he was hauled down at the 21 with the clock running. O'Brien rushed the Jets to the line of scrimmage and threw the ball out of bounds (spikes were not legal in those days) which left just five seconds for the Jets to try and tie the score.
When I was ten and I had watched – and been gripped by – this game, this is exactly what I wrote in my journal that night: "5 seconds to go 7 points down 21yds out and a fourth down and O'Brien takes the snap he heaves it toward the middle of the pitch and Wesley Walker steps across and catches it and steps into the endzone. Leahys point equals it and its overtime". The current incarnation of me couldn't have written it any better (although it wasn't a fourth down). It's a shame I can't re-produce the little diagram I drew too.
Even at that age, it was obvious what an amazing finish it had been. The place was going crazy. After a scare when Mike Harper appeared to have fumbled the ball away on the opening kickoff in overtime, the Jets would need just five plays to win the game on a 43 yard bomb from O'Brien to Walker on the right sideline. A fittingly spectacular end to a spectacular game.
Walker ended up with a Jets record 4 touchdown catches on 6-194 receiving and O'Brien and Marino would combine for 927 yards passing and ten touchdowns.
On this day, many Jets fans were created. I am proud to be one of them. One day, maybe we shall see something approaching this level of excitement once again.

Midwest Living Review
Richly detailed, the Beiger (pronounced "bee-gur"), as it's known locally, is dazzling. We were amazed by the interior, which has been inlaid, trimmed, jeweled and tassled. No detail has been overlooked -- all the more impressive when you consider that the building was gutted by fire in 1974. Once scheduled for demolition to make way for a used-car lot, the mansion is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Ron Montandon purchased the home in 1989 and continues to lovingly restore it, room by room. Yet, the Beiger is no museum. Each of the six guest rooms is ultracomfortable with sleigh beds or four-posters, all outfitted with layers of fluffy pillows. We loved the ambient bathroom heat and lush guest robes. We also enjoyed the common areas with cozy seating and the solarium with lush plants and stacks of shiny magazines. A complete workout area is on the ground floor, as well as an outdoor heated pool and hot tub. Breakfast is served in the ornate grand dining room with its coffered ceilings, stained glass and paneled walls. Look forward to personalized attention in a made-to-order breakfast served on fine china with real silver service. We might have liked a more modern shower, as the standpipe was placed perpendicular to the vintage tub, which made the shower a little cramped even for a petite woman. But, what was lost in modern convenience, was gained in opulence and hospitality. Rooms start at $140, with the master suite at $225, though you'll pay more on weekends with footballs scheduled.
