SACKETS HARBOR Nearly six months after a motorist drove a car into their 220 S. Broad St. residence, the Martin family has used the crash as an opportunity to improve their home.
We just got to get it done, said Rickey E. Martin, a home inspector with Pillar to Post Home Inspectors.
On Sunday, Mr. Martin and a few friends were high on the homes exterior, placing the final pieces of siding, which will protect it from the elements this winter.
The renovations have also included the transformation of the homes front from a one-story covered porch into a two-floor addition to their home, which will include an expansion of the master bedroom. At this point, Mr. Martin said the renovations to the home was about half finished.
The final task: Fixing up the homes interior.
The renovations at the home, located at the corner of South Broad and Edmund streets, have been underway since May 28, when Carthage resident Melissa E. Roman missed the turn from County Route 75 onto South Broad Street and drove her Ford Mustang toward the house. After hitting a boat parked in the front yard, the car blasted through the homes porch and ended up in a room Mr. Martin used as an office. Mr. Martin and the familys five children, who were upstairs when the crash happened, were unharmed. Mr. Martins wife Sarah B. was working at Samaritan Medical Center at the time of the crash.
I thought he was playing a joke on me really, Mrs. Martin said. I didnt believe him until he started sending me pictures.
The crash happened during a period when the Martins believed they had some stability with their house. The family did extensive interior renovations after purchasing the early-1800s era home in 2011.
I thought wed never do renovation again, but here we are, Mrs. Martin said. The process all over again.
The May 28 crash was not the first time a car had hit the home. At the time of the crash, Richard G. Butch Coseo, sergeant in charge for the Sackets Harbor Police Department, said he had multiple similar instances when he owned the house.
In the event of a future crash, drivers will find a much more imposing front to the house. Mr. Martin said he has reinforced the homes front with concrete.
If anybody ever hits it again, theyre not going through it, Mr. Martin said.
Mr. Martin said the work so far has cost about three times as much as the insurance settlement, even with his personal labor, but he did not want to talk financial specifics.
The goal is for the work at the home to be finished by this summer.

Jones- 30+ Markakis is 3 homers away from last year's homerun total in 83 games. So maybe we are seeing 20+ Nick again. Betemit- 15 to 20. Davis 25+. Hardy has hit 30 but most likely 20+. Wieters- 20+. So we have power elsewhere in the lineup.
Yeah...if he can give a .370+ OBP I don't mind the minimal power. There would probably be some doubles in there, anyway..

Freed-Hardeman shot 50.8 percent for the game, including 59.3 percent in the second half. Four Freed-Hardeman players scored in double-figures led by Hannah Parsley with 22 points.
The Lady Bisons jumped out to a 7-0 lead to start the game, but Freed-Hardeman used a 9-0 run to go up 23-17 with 9:23 left in the first half.
"We made some shots early and got up but we didn't execute our game plan defensively," said Lipscomb head coach Frank Bennett. "We were put in a position of having to catch up the whole time."
Freed-Hardeman used an 8-2 run to close out the first half to give themselves a 43-32 lead at the break.
Lipscomb's Chelsea Burroughs had her second strong performance in a row. After posting 21 points in Saturday's win over Harding, Burroughs scored 17 against Freed-Hardeman. In the two exhibitions she has shot 10-of-16 from the three-point line.
"She was really competing and playing hard defensively too," said Bennett. "She was knocking down shots and gave us some strong play."
Burroughs also had a team-high five assists with no turnovers.
Lipscomb shot a strong 46.4 percent in the first half, but connect on only 15-of-42 attempts in the second period for 35.7 percent.
"We missed 21 shots in the paint in the second half," said Bennett. "Layups, power shots, that's a lot of points left out there when you miss 21 shots in the paint. A few of those we were not in good position to take and should have been kicked out, but a lot of them were just shots we should have hit."
Lipscomb's post players combined to go 7-of-22 from the field scoring 15 points on the night.
"Our posts are better than what they showed tonight and they can play better," said Bennett. "We have to get them the ball in better positions sometimes. That is going to be a big key this year."
Lipscomb held a 40-38 advantage on the boards. Brittany Duerk and Cree Nix each had five rebounds to lead the Lady Bisons. Jana Cross grabbed eight boards to lead Freed-Hardeman
After committing 23 turnovers Saturday against Harding, the Lady Bisons took better control of the ball turning it over just 13 times.
Tara Deatheridge scored 18 points for Freed-Hardeman while Cross had 14 and Meribeth Boehler added 11.
The Lady Bisons open their regular season Friday evening against Lehigh. Game time is 7 p.m. in Allen Arena.
"Lehigh is a very good team," said Bennett. "They were 26-7 last year and won the Patriot league. They have their key players back and are especially good at the guard position. They have the Patriot League preseason player of the year in Erica Prosser."
Tickets are $7 and are available at the door.

5 U.S. Code § 5304a - Authority to fix an alternative level of comparability payments
(a) If, because of national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare, the President should consider the level of comparability payments which would otherwise be payable under section 5304 in any year to be inappropriate, the President shall—
(1) prepare and transmit to Congress, at least 1 month before those comparability payments (disregarding this section) would otherwise become payable, a report describing the alternative level of payments which the President instead intends to provide, including the reasons why such alternative level is considered necessary; and
(2) implement the alternative level of payments beginning on the same date as would otherwise apply, for the year involved, under section 5304.
Source(Added Pub. L. 101–509, title V, § 529 [title I, § 101(a)(1)], Nov. 5, 1990, 104 Stat. 1427, 1436.)
Effective Date
Section effective on such date as the President shall determine, but not earlier than 90 days, and not later than 180 days, after Nov. 5, 1990, see section 529 [title III, § 305] of Pub. L. 101–509, set out as an Effective Date of 1990 Amendment note under section 5301 of this title.
Special Rule Relating to Comparability Payments in 1994
Pub. L. 101–509, title VI, § 634,Nov. 5, 1990, 104 Stat. 1482, provided that:
"Notwithstanding any other provision of law (including any provision of the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990 [see Short Title of 1990 Amendment note set out under section 5301 of this title] and any provision of law amended by such Act), for purposes of any comparability payments scheduled to take effect under section 5304 of title 5, United States Code (as amended by such Act) during calendar year 1994—
"(1) deem section 5304a of such title (as so amended) to be amended as follows:
"(A) in subsection (a), strike 'If' and all that follows thereafter through 'welfare,' and insert 'Subject to subsection (c), if'; and
"(B) add after subsection (b) the following:
" '(c)(1) For the purpose of this section—
" '(A) the "threshold amount" is $1,800,000,000; and
" '(B) "severe economic conditions" shall be considered to exist relative to comparability payments scheduled to take effect on a given date if, during the 12-month period ending 2 calendar quarters before such date, there occurred 2 consecutive quarters of negative growth in the GNP.
" '(2) Authority under this section to provide an alternative level of comparability payments in any year may not be exercised except in accordance with the following:
" '(A) If the estimated cost of the comparability payments which (but for this section) would otherwise be payable in such year would be equal to the threshold amount or less, no alternative level may be fixed under this section unless necessary because a state of war or severe economic conditions exist.
" '(B) If the estimated cost of the comparability payments which (but for this section) would otherwise be payable in such year would be greater than the threshold amount, no alternative level may be fixed—
" '(i) at a level which would result in an estimated cost equal to or greater than the threshold amount, unless necessary because of national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare; or
" '(ii) at a level which would result in an estimated cost less than the threshold amount, unless necessary because of either of the reasons set forth in subparagraph (A).
" '(d)(1) The President's agent (as referred to in section 5304 (d)) shall develop and include in the appropriate report under section 5304 (d)(1) the methodology for estimating any costs under this section, and any estimate under this section shall be in accordance with such methodology.
" '(2) In making any estimate under this section, costs attributable to any authority under section 5304 (h) may not be taken into account.'; and
"(2) the President's pay agent (referred to in section 5304(d) of such title, as so amended) may use appropriate estimates in lieu of BLS survey data if such data is not available for use in preparing the agent's report with respect to comparability payments payable during calendar year 1994."

The latest-generation Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor brings phenomenal increases in processing speed and power. Improved chip architecture and algorithms deliver greatly expanded functionality with further refinement in image quality. Improved noise reduction produces clearer images when shooting in low light at high ISO speeds. Enhanced i-Contrast performance adjusts differences between light and dark areas to achieve even more natural-looking results. The faster processing speed also results in faster continuous shooting capability while maintaining full image quality. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor also makes possible a new, highly advanced automatic white balance system. Whereas conventional white balance makes an overall adjustment based on a single type of light source, the new Canon Multi-Area White Balance analyzes several areas of the image to determine whether different adjustments are needed, for example, for the main subject and the background.
The PowerShot S100 digital camera employs a new Canon 12.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor. Inheriting much of the advanced technology developed for Canon EOS DSLR cameras, this sensor delivers state-of-the-art imaging performance and is optimized for use in compact cameras, such as the PowerShot S100. Utilizing a sophisticated light-capturing design, it provides high sensitivity for improved high ISO capture without increased noise. It is also a high-speed design, capable of rapidly capturing and moving image data to the processor, enabling faster continuous shooting and faster autofocus.
The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an even wider range of shooting situations. Beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. The system is the result of two technologies brought together in PowerShot cameras: a high-sensitivity imaging sensor, which is able to capture more light; and the DIGIC Image Processor, which actively reduces noise with high-speed image processing. The 12.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor in the PowerShot S100 incorporates advanced light reception technology that enhances sensitivity. The new DIGIC 5 Image Processor provides a major boost in noise reduction, expanding the usable ISO range to an amazing high of ISO 6400.

If a bully picks on me, should I fight back?
- Cole*
Standing up to bullies doesn't mean you have to have a physical fight with them. Most of the time, you don't have to fight. There are almost always more effective ways to deal with bullies — ways that are better for you.
Sometimes, though, people feel they need to (or want to) fight a bully. They may feel that they are being physically threatened right at that moment and need to protect themselves. They may think fighting back will teach the bully a lesson or be the best way to escape. Some people may feel pressured by others to fight back when they don't really want to. That's never a good reason to fight.
There's no easy answer to the question about when someone should fight back physically. Some bullies don't actually want to fight. They just like to intimidate others. Other bullies back down without a fight if the person they're targeting stands up to them. But some bullies like to get into a fight. They might like to cause pain to others — or feel pain themselves.
Fighting can get dangerous. A fight can lead to serious injuries. The bully might have a weapon. Fighting may make the bully feel he or she has to come back later with a weapon or friends to help — and the whole thing can get out of control.
What can people who are being bullied do to feel more in control and able to defend themselves? If you're being bullied, talk with a responsible adult, such as a parent, teacher, counselor, or coach. They can get involved to help.
In some cases, it also might be necessary to get help from the police. After all, if a bully physically attacks someone, it's assault — and that's a crime. If a bully uses a weapon or threatens to use one, it can result in severe penalties for the bully, including expulsion from school, arrest, and even prison.
For people who want to build skills and improve confidence, taking self-defense classes can help. Even for people who never need to use self-defense skills, just learning them can be very helpful.
In a few rare situations, fighting back may be the only way out at that moment. But fighting back physically is only a good idea when there is no other choice to avoid injury. In almost all other cases, there are better, more effective, and safer choices.

They view the online market as oversaturated (which is true) and the pricing wars are not good for the sport. The lower the prices get the harder it is for resellers to make a profit and stay in business.

Young Duck fan is coach for a weekend
EUGENE, Ore. -- This will turn some Duck fans green -- and not just because they're wearing team colors.
Brenden Potts, 11, spent Friday practicing with Jeremiah Masoli and trading plays with Chip Kelly.
"The cool thing about it was that I led the cheer," said Brenden. "I got to run around with the players."
Brenden, from Vancouver, Wash., estimates he's only missed "one or two" Duck football games in his short lifetime. So when the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon gave him the chance to coach the Ducks or visit The Ellen Show, it took only a quick consultation with friends before settling on football.
Dad Marshall Potts thought he made the right choice.
"I kinda like Ellen, but I'm all for the Ducks," said Juli Potts, Brenden's mom.
Brenden has VATER syndrome, meaning he was born with some birth anomalies.
"He's spent a lot of time in the hospital having surgical repair work done," said Juli Potts. "He's overcome quite a bit. We're not out of the woods yet, but we feel like we've overcome quite a bit at this point."
At Friday's morning practice, Brenden's parents were nearly as excited as their son.
"Almost brought tears to my eyes," said Marshall Potts. "It was very emotional."
"It was very exhilarating," said Juli Potts. "I was a little worried the second round around the field, because I knew he was going to get tired."
Brenden and family will be at Saturday's game, where he hopes to spend a little more time with his favorite players -- Masoli and Ed Dixon.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/...

While this has unlocked huge opportunities to accelerate the deployment of new capabilities or increase economic efficiencies within an organization, i...

If you're a fall gardener and you have children, you can provide them with wonderful, educational experiences via your garden and plants. From exploring nature to delving into biology to showing older, budding chefs how to prepare simple dishes with fresh fare from the garden, you can plant nurturing and inquisitive seeds inside your children that can last a lifetime. And with kids getting back to school, it's also a great way to foster a sense of learning and study.
A fall garden is home to a wonderful variety of bugs that make great biology subjects. When you and your kids come across bugs, you can educate your kids on the roles that each bug plays in the garden. We even have blog posts dedicated to garden heroes and villains (bugs!), including Garden Villain: Itsy Bitsy Spider Mites, Garden Hero: The Green Lacewing, AKA Aphid Lions, Garden Villain: The Leafhopper, and more.
Do you have a child that displays a love for drawing? A fall garden provides the perfect environment for sketching…You never know: you may have a future naturalist or scientist in your family. From plants to insects, sketching has a long history as a means of scientific investigation. Surprise your artistic child with a blank journal and colored pencils for their "field notes," and then teach them how to observe bugs and plants and jot down notes. From the behaviors of a specific bug to the colors of a Red Express Cabbage as it matures, there are so many sketching opportunities to be found in a fall garden. Another great activity for a budding artist is to have him or her draw a plant as it grows from a seedling to maturity.
If you have a child that loves food and loves to help in the kitchen, a fall garden can be a great source of inspiration and creativity. Teach your future chef how to tell when lettuce, broccoli and other fall garden vegetables are ready for harvesting. When it's time to make a salad with your home grown foods, walk your child through the salad making process, from harvesting the vegetables right from the garden to cleaning the vegetables to preparing the vegetables for a salad. Talk about our five senses and have your child describe how each one is affected by, say, a head of lettuce. Before you know it, you'll have your own personal salad maker and a child who is eager to experiment with a variety of healthy tastes and textures.
Kids + Vegetable Gardening + Fun = A Love for the Freshest, Healthiest Foods

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Gopher football team's leading wide receiver A.J. Barker says on his Twitter page that he has quit the team.
Barker posted today at just before 4pm, "Well, its official. I am done playing football for the University of Minnesota and I will be looking to transfer next season for my final year."
Barker proceeded to then publish a 4,000 word letter on his Tumblr account with an explanation as to why he was doing so -- a letter that makes some very serious accusations and suggestions about head coach Jerry Kill.
We have reached out to Barker as well as the Gopher football program. Currently neither side has commented.
If you want to read Barker's letter, click here. Please note the letter contains profanity.
On Sunday night, U of M athletic director Norwood Teague released a statement which reads: "Coach Kill received an email from A.J. Barker today notifying the Coach that he has quit the team. Coach Kill tried reaching out to A.J. after receiving the email, but was unable to connect with him. We understand A.J.'s frustration with his injury, and we regret that he has chosen to leave the team on these terms. Our concern first and foremost is student athletes and we wish A.J. well."

Utah's general archery buck deer hunt will begin in just a few days. As the start of the hunt nears, reports provided by Division of Wildlife
Resources biologists share a common theme:
Deer herds on many units are doing well -- lots of fawns were born in 2011, and most of the fawns survived the mild winter of 2011-2012. Good numbers of young bucks should be available on many of the state's 30 general-season units.
It's been hot and dry across Utah this summer. On many units, finding water will be the key to finding the deer.
The general archery buck deer hunt - the first major hunt in Utah each year - starts Aug. 18.
This year is the first year general archery hunters will be limited to hunting on one of 30 new deer hunting units in Utah. For the past several years, archery hunters have been allowed to hunt statewide.
Also, as you're hunting this fall, please remember to ride your all-terrain vehicle only on designated roads and trails. If you take it off a designated road or trail, you and other hunters might lose your
privilege to use ATVs on public lands in Utah.
DWR biologists have provided deer hunting reports for most of Utah's 30 units. You can read the reports on the DWR's website at http://go.usa.gov/GJT.
The reports are split into five groups based on where the units are located.

CHCI Leans In to Support Development of Latina Leaders
Lean In with CHCI Today!
CHCI is proud to announce its partnership with Lean In, a non-profit organization committed to offering women the encouragement and support to achieve their goals. CHCI joins Black Filmmakers Foundation, Catalyst, Estee Lauder, Lionsgate Films, and Teach for America as official launch partners with Lean In because it believes that cultivating more balanced teams and more female leaders is better for its organization and for the nation, and because it wants all of our Latinas to reach their full potential.
"CHCI's development of the next generation of Latino leaders includes the empowerment of young Latinas who will be the future leaders of our nation, our communities and our families," said Esther Aguilera, CHCI President & CEO. "We are proud to Lean In and join this tremendous effort to showcase and foster the leadership of women. These type of efforts are even more crucial to young Latinas who do not have the support network, mentors, or tools to help them navigate the challenges of the complex workplace. We thank Lean In for focusing on this issue and the diversity of our current and future workforce."
CHCI is encouraging all its student participants, supporters, employees, and more than 8,500 alumni around the country to take advantage of the free materials and programs on leanin.org. Many of them are tailored for women, but there's also valuable information on topics that are universally important, such as creating successful teams and combating the negative effects of gender bias. We also invite everyone to "Like" Lean In on Facebook to join the conversation and receive daily inspiration, ideas, and insight from the Lean In Community.
Lean In combines the best of social networking, online learning, and small peer groups to inspire and support women to achieve their goals. On leanin.org, you can:
Read CHCI's Vice President of Governance Carmen Joge's personal Lean In story about how she overcame obstacles in her life and chose to "lean in" while others in her family "leaned back"
Read an excerpt of Lean In: Women, Work & the Will to Lead, the book by Sheryl Sandberg, and download guides to discuss the book with friends and co-workers
Watch short video lectures on topics that will improve your communication and leadership skills, such as how to negotiate for better results and how to exude confidence in any situation
Form a Lean In Circle, 8 to 10 peers who meet monthly to learn and grow together
Together, let's change the trajectory of Latina women and create a stronger nation for all!

Latest From Chimaira's Camp
Posted on February 12, 2008Chimaira will start recording their new record - titled The Impossibility Of Reason - on November 25th with producer/frontman of Sw1tched, Ben Schigel. Ben is responsible for producing Chimaira's EP This Present Darkness.
Frontman Mark Hunter is eager to work with Ben again, saying, "working with Ben is what this band needs. We get to create something we want with someone who knows us inside out, and we get to deliver a record that our fans will love sonically. Not only do we love the sounds we get out his studio, but all of our fans love the recordings of our demos, and our EP, so this just makes sense. The record has a very old school vibe and we can't wait to start tracking it."
Old school? Mark continues, "and I don't mean 1995 old school, we are talking 1982-1992, when metal was good, fast, and loaded with ripping solos."
Chimaira also plan on videotaping the entire recording process...Godspeed.
And the other good news? Chimaira just launched a new website, an online studio documentary...It is already filled with loads of great studio shit, and they have yet to officially start recording. Keep an eye on this site, starting now - www.Chimaira.com.

In what may be deemed a rebuilding year, the Carbon High Track and Field team has already shown plenty of progress that has the team and coaches hopeful for a strong season.
Carbon High head coach Jimmy Jewkes said the early season meets have seen CHS athletes perform well in a number of events. Junior Garrett Marsing has already qualified for state in the 1600 M after finishing in first place with a time of 4:32.67 at a meet in Moab on March 20.
Marsing also ran in the 800 M race finishing in first place with a time of 1:59.94, which Jewkes said may be one of the fastest times in school history.
Rachel Goodrich took first place in the 1600 M and 3200 M races and finished third in the 800 M race.
Jewkes also noted that the Girl's Medley team took first place and senior Kayleigh Potts finished the girls High Jump in first place with a jump of 5'3".
Jewkes said he has been pleased with the progress made over the beginning of the season, including from athletes who are new to Track and Field.
After a short break since last competing in Moab, the team will be competing non-stop through the rest of the season.
"This week starts the gauntlet of track meets until the end of the season," Jewkes said.
The team will travel to Vernal on Friday, April 5 for the Uintah Invite.
CHS will then travel to Union for a meet on April 11 before returning home to host their only home meet of the year on April 13.

GOUVERNEUR Cambray Housing Corp. is planning a $15 million project that will replace outmoded housing at Cambray Court with a three-story building that will offer residents more services in a centralized setting.
No one will be displaced. Some of the buildings will stay until were done, said Ronald P. McDougall, Cambray Housing president. Its a tremendous opportunity.
With the help of United Helpers which manages the 100-apartment complex on West Main Street for low-income senior citizens and the handicapped and Omni Housing Development, Albany, Cambray Housing will take the next year or two to finalize the building plans, arrange financing using tax credits and payment-in-lieu-of-tax agreements and complete the project in phases.
The construction will help solve a number of problems at Cambray, which consists of a series of buildings built in 1974 that are not completely handicapped accessible, have electric heat and need modernization. There are no elevators to the second floors of the buildings.
Its been a number of years since theres been many renovations, United Helpers Director of Operations Todd R. Amo said.
Electric bills in the winter sometimes are $20,000 per month or more, Mr. McDougall said. One building is in a flood plain of the Oswegatchie River. The design forces residents to go outside if they want to visit someone in another building or want to go to the office.
The switch to a single handicapped accessible building which will include a community room, kitchen and office will be more convenient for residents, Mr. McDougall said.

What's the single most dangerous investment bias you have?
Probably, it's the very reason you are reading this article right now. You want to hear a story.
We all love stories. That's what keeps Hollywood in business. If we truly loved factual analysis over narrative, we'd sit around all day reading almanacs and reviewing PowerPoint slideshows. Webinars would be oversubscribed.
Powerful stories are literally all around us. It's how brand marketing works, for instance. When we "buy in" to a given name brand, we buy the story of our own intelligence for making the selection over another, or a generic choice. We make up a personal story.
Even when we analyze a product decision, brand intrudes. We seek to know the experiences of small numbers of others with the product (anecdotes) over, say, multi-year performance records or warranty claims (data).
You might say, well, I know a lot of people watch those TED talks online. And what about all those free university lectures being offered? Surely some people like analysis over stories. Am I dumb for liking a good plot and fun, strong characters?
Of course not. But a big step forward in your own retirement investing life would be to recognize the difference between stories and facts, and to fully grasp the investment bias you feed by falling into the story trap.
The linguistics professors often use this example: A teacher walks into a classroom. He writes the word "hut" on the board. He turns to the class and says nothing.
In a few minutes, the students get nervous. They dislike the challenge of silence. The begin to debate the professor's apparent test of their intelligence.
Then, something funny happens. Some of the students begin to talk about huts. What kinds there are. Where you might find them. The advantages and disadvantages of living in one.
Others, however, start to make up stories. Indigenous villages. Surf vacations. Jungle tribes.
There you have the break in our mental measure of the world: In reaction to a concept, you can either quantify it (analysis) or qualify it (narrative).
Pitching the narrative
Wall Street sells narrative, hands down. The sales force understands it. The customers like it. Brokers need to be able to tell the "story" of a company to move shares. If the story is not so great, then they have to come up with a "story" about the sector, how things are changing in a way that will benefit the stock in question.
Failing that, the story is the economy itself. Things are turning positive (or negative). This company is very likely to benefit (or suffer) as a result of the economic story unfolding.

Ever feel like measuring space? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby will teach you the basics of geometry, the branch of math that'll help you do just that! You'll start out by learning about Euclid, the ancient Greek mathematician whose ideas are still taught in math classes today. Next, you'll find out the difference between a point and a line, what two-dimensional figures are, and what it means for an object to have length, width, and depth. Finally, you'll learn about some of the basic physical tools you can use to measure things like angles--and how far off course a kid and a robot can get on a boat out in the ocean!
