Hum... well, you're welcome. I still use GNU/Linux myself though.
I take back ever bad word I ever said about FreeBSD, and FreeBSD users - A good friend just showed me ports and make world... I mean... d00d.. that's like LFS, only easier, and be out the learning...
I'm dumping Linux now, FreeBSD goodness, here I come... And I just finished printing the entire FreeBSD handbook, 592 bloody pages, and I LOVE it... I read a couple of pages, and I must say that it's the most complete UN*X manual I've ever seen..

Hum... well, you're welcome. I still use GNU/Linux myself though.
FreeBSD is so clean, or at least it seems to be after a few hours of tinkering with it on my friends PC... He used to be a total RedHat binary freak... and over the past few nights he's been falling more and more in love with FreeBSD - and he had to show it to me...
The manpages are functional and up to date.
The ports system is like apt-get only with sources... me likes very much.
make world = LFS.
-current REALLY means current.
I mean the only thing I've found that FreeBSD can't do for me is allow me to play UT and SF. and I can live with that.
and, oh boy it looks so clean it's almost painful to watch...
I'm installing it tomorrow, so wish me luck, I'll need it !
Bye Bye Linux... Thanks for the fish !
In terms of cleaness though, FreeBSD is beaten by OpenBSD and NetBSD though. *But I agree that it's much cleaner and leaner than any Linux distribution. *I installed it on a 486 of a friend of mine (gateway purpose):
I was thinking about FreeBSD or OpenBSD on my gateway. *Since I haven't been able (yet) to find a good tutorial on NAT with OpenBSD 3.0's pf, right now I think I'll install FreeBSD (I have done 4-5 FreeBSD gateways as of now, so I know it much better. I might also point out, OpenBSD is a bit more unstable than FreeBSD). *I will keep looking for OpenBSD though$ uname -sr
FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE
$ uptime
8:03PM *up 202 days, 18 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.08, 0.02, 0.01
There is a good reason why the Debian people are basing their BSD distro on NetBSD. Well actually, that's where most of the people are working, but some people are working on porting that stuff over to the FreeBSD kernel and OpenBSD kernel as well.In terms of cleaness though, FreeBSD is beaten by OpenBSD and NetBSD though. *But I agree that it's much cleaner and leaner than any Linux distribution.
FreeBSD was the *nix I learned all my stuff on initially.
Mandrake and Red Hat just kinda sucked for me, X wouldn't configure in Slackware, and I was just too stupid at the time to figure out the Debian install. FreeBSD installed for me correctly the first time, and I was up and running within 2 hours (I was a newbie to the whole thing...sue me).
I learned more on FreeBSD than I did with any of the 'newbie' linux distros, and everything that I learned while using it was easily transferred to Linux (well, most of it anyhow).
I was also wondering when someone was going to mention that the BSDs already had an LFS-like system in place...some of us knew about that for years already but we didn't want to say anything (you know how testy some lunix users can get).
If I were asked to list my favourite *nixes, from best to worst, it'd go something like this:
1. FreeBSD (Solaris?)
2. OpenBSD
3. Debian (NetBSD?)
4. Libranet
55. Mandrake
56. Slackware
Don't worry, LFS hates you, too.54. LFS
What did slack ever do to you ? :(

Printable Version (PDF, 215 Kb)
In the olden times man and creature walked as friends who carried the beauty of the land in their hearts. Now each one of us is needed to make sure the salmon can find a place to spawn and the bear cub a tree to climb. There is little time left and much effort needed! Chief Dan George
What is a Species At Risk? A Species At Risk is one that requires special considerations for its conservation. Some species have slipped on the path toward local and perhaps, global extinction and require immediate help. Others need attention to ensure they don't start down this path.
Why worry about Species At Risk? Protecting biological diversity (or biodiversity) sustains the health and beauty of our planet. Biodiversity is the full range of life on earth. This includes the evolutionary processes that result in new species and the genetic diversity that exists within species.
The global decline of biodiversity is now recognized as one of the most serious environmental issues facing humanity. Protecting biodiversity helps:
What is Canada doing to help Species At Risk?In 1992, Canada was the first Signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity – a legally binding international treaty. As part of this commitment, Canada has developed the National Accord for the Protection of Species At Risk – a cooperative agreement between the federal, provincial and territorial governments.
Canada's Species At Risk Act came into full force in June, 2004. It provides the legal framework needed to accomplish federal commitments under the Accord. The goal is to protect and recover native species, sub-species and distinct populations at risk in Canada.
What wildlife does SARA specifically protect?The Act protects all animals, plants or other organisms (wildlife species), except bacteria and viruses that are native to Canada listed on "Schedule 1" of SARA. "At risk" species are categorized as either: special concern, threatened, endangered or extirpated.
Species designated prior to the end of 2001 are being reassessed for addition to Schedule 1.
Who decides which species are at risk?The Committee On Endangered Species In Canada (COSEWIC), a scientific advisory committee, assesses the status of potential candidate species based on scientific evidence of risk. COSEWIC then advises the Federal Minister of the Environment and the intergovernmental Canadian Endangered Species Conservation Council of its assessment. After public consultation, the Minister then makes recommendations to the Governor In Council (Federal Cabinet). The Governor In Council decides if a species will be listed under SARA.
Where does the Parks Canada Agency fit in?The Agency currently manages close to 265,000 km2 of land. SARA applies to all lands administered by Parks Canada, such as national parks, national historic sites, national marine conservation areas, and historic canals.
Parks Canada works with other government, non-government and private sector partners to provide for the recovery of species that are most "at risk" (extirpated, endangered or threatened). It also promotes management of species of special concern so as to prevent their becoming endangered or threatened.
This entails the development of recovery strategies and action plans for endangered and threatened species and management plans for those of special concern. Timeline to complete these plans have been set based on the year the species was added to Schedule 1.
For conservation purposes, Species At Risk are ranked as follows under SARASpecial Concern: Sensitive to human activities or natural events but not an endangered or threatened speciesThreatened: Likely to become endangered if nothing is done to reverse the factors leading to extirpation or extinctionEndangered: Facing imminent extirpation or extinctionExtirpated: Locally, regionally or nationally extinct, but exists elsewhere in the wildExtinct:Gone forever

CANTON St. Lawrence County saw a slight rise in its second quarter sales tax revenues compared to a year ago, and Lewis and Jefferson counties also saw a sales-tax collection uptick in the second quarter of 2012, a sign of a still-recovering economy.
St. Lawrence Countys sales tax revenue for the second quarter was $10.5 million. That represents an increase over last year during the same period of $157,713.33, a hike of 1.5 percent.
That type of climb is what the county was used to seeing before the economy collapsed in 2008, Treasurer Kevin M. Felt said.
I think the increases that we saw a year or so ago are starting to flatten out, he said. These are slow, but steady.
According to anecdotal reports, the county also has been helped by cross-border shoppers as the Canadian dollar buys more state-side, Mr. Felt said.
So far this year, the county has collected $20.6 million, an increase of $453,519.36 over 2011 figures for the same time period.
That puts the county on track to meet its predicted collection for 2012 of $41.2 million, especially since fourth-quarter results when people are buying for Christmas tend to be among the highest of the year.
The county keeps half of what is collected. Of the remaining half, the city of Ogdensburg receives 6.4 percent. The towns and villages receive the rest.
Were right on target to meeting budget, Mr. Felt said..
Lewis Countys sales tax revenues rebounded from a first quarter in the doldrums with a 3.8 percent second-quarter increase, from $2.42 million in 2011 to $2.51 million this year.
The county has collected $4.78 million so far this year, up from $4.71 million at this point last year.
County Manager David H. Pendergast said the figures were a good sign, given that the county has collected more than half of the $9 million budgeted for 2012.
It shows that people may be traveling more as we come into the summer season, he said.
Lewis Countys receipts dropped 1.3 percent in the first quarter, likely due in part to a poor snowmobiling season.
In Jefferson County, sales tax revenues from April to the end of June stood at $18.6 million, an increase of nearly $2 million over the same timeframe in 2011. That is an 11 percent increase.
After doling out portions of the sales tax revenue to towns and villages, county government itself will take in $8.9 million, a pace that could mean from $1.5 million to $2.2 million in surplus from what the county had budgeted, according to an analysis from Legislator Scott A. Gray, R-Watertown, the chairman of the Finance Committee.
If the figures remain constant, and without any major blowups on the spending side, the county could lower its property tax levy, Mr. Gray said.
Thats what the ideal world will bring to us, Mr. Gray said, while cautioning that unforeseen expenses, like pending litigation, could wipe out the sales tax increase.

The FinePix REAL 3D W3: a stunning 3D DEBUT that truly adds another dimension to photography.
Following on from the success of the FinePix REALl 3D W1 introduced in August 2009 as the world's first 3D digital camera, today Fujifilm is proud to announce the arrival of the FinePix REAL 3D W3 confirming the company's strong commitment to leading the way in 3D imaging in the photographic sector.
The world's first 3D digital camera that can capture High Definition 3D movies(*1)
Smaller, lighter, improved and now in superb HD, the FinePix W3 is fully compatible with ALL 3DTVs(*2) and is the perfect link-purchase for consumers wanting to generate their own 3D content and capture their special memories in 3D and later play them back on their huge 3D TV screen in all their glory.
(*1) As digital camera equipped with 2 CCDs, according FUJIFILM research in August 2010
(*2) Sales volume of 3D TV has been estimated approx. 4 million units in 2010, and will be expanded into 10 million units in 2011, according to FUJIFILM research.
NEW 3D Auto mode makes it so easy to shoot in 3D
It's not just James Cameron that can shoot 3D movies! Now everybody can create their own 3D images and shoot advanced, high-quality 3D HD movies. What's more, with the W3's stereo sound recording, you can record audio for your movies that gives them stunning immediacy and realism.
Play it back on the back of the camera
You don't need to put on any special 3D glasses, you can view your pictures and movies on the camera's generous 3.5" LCD monitor and see what you have shot immediately.
Play it back on an 3D HD TV
Just connect the camera to any 3DTV with an HDMI* cable, and watch your movies on the Big Screen in amazing 3D (you'll need the special 3D glasses that come with your TV to see it). Connecting the camera to a 3D TV via an HDMI cable provides a simple and straightforward way to view 3D HD movies and high-resolution still images. Re-live your cherished memories in true-to-life 3D.
* Requires a HDMI mini cable (Hi-speed type)
How Fujifilm's REAL 3D camera technology works
With its combination of two lenses, two sensors and synchronized controls, Fujifilm's REAL 3D technology can bring images to life. The 3D Processor within the camera has the ability to analyze the shooting data from the two lenses and sensors and combines these two images into one high resolution 3D image or movie, making it really simple for anyone to shoot in 3D.
Twin camera lenses that imitate your eyes
Our ability to see perspective and depth comes down to the fact that our left and right eyes view objects from slightly different angles. The combination of what each eye sees is known as "binocular parallax". To mimic this effect, the FinePix REAL 3D W3 is equipped with two Fujinon lenses that shoot realistic images just as the human eye sees them. In fact, whilst human eyes are generally around 64mm apart, the lenses in the FinePix REAL 3D W3 are roughly 20% further apart so as to maximize the impression of depth, while still producing natural-looking images.
Both Fujinon lenses feature a 3x optical zoom, which allows you to capture beautiful 3D shots of distant subjects. And now with a lighter, more compact stainless steel frame than the FinePix W1, the W3 ensures that the optical axis is balanced ever so precisely.
Two synchronized sensors for natural-looking 3D images
With two sensors, or CCDs, each featuring an effective resolution of 10 megapixels, this camera captures stunningly realistic images down to the finest detail. The synchronized controls driving the two CCDs also coincide with the the left and right shutters so that all shooting information is captured at the exact same instant. This prevents any discrepancy between the two images and results in a totally natural 3D effect. Even during 3D movie shooting, the left and right images are synchronized in each frame and the FinePix REAL 3D W3 lets you shoot truly realistic 3D movies.
The new RP (REAL Photo) Processor 3D HD
Shooting information captured by the twin lenses and CCDs is instantly analyzed and merged to form 3D images by the new RP (REAL Photo) Processor 3D HD". This benefits the used by providing a 3D AUTO shooting mode that enables even first-timers to shoot great 3D images.
Featuring a high-contrast 3D LCD to display your 3D images
The back of the camera features a widescreen 3.5-inch 3D LCD monitor capable of displaying high-resolution images even in bright light. This allows users to playback their movies or photos and to view live 3D images during shooting without the need for special 3D glasses.
● Clear images with low "crosstalk"
Enjoy natural, effective 3D images with reduced "crosstalk (image overlap)". This ensures sharp and natural-looking 3D images.
● High-resolution 1.15-million dot LCD
WVGA resolution and a wide viewing-angle on the LCD reproduces your images perfectly, down to the finest detail.
●Displays images 1.5x* brighter and reproduces colors 1.8 x* deeper, allowing you to enjoy clear, distinct and vivid images.
*Compared to FinePix REAL 3D W1
● New Lenticular Lens System
This monitor features rows of tiny convex lenses that work together to generate a binocular parallax effect, producing a realistic 3D image. The monitor also features flicker and crosstalk suppression to enhance the experience.
Wide range of shooting functions
● Comprehensive manual shooting functions
The FinePix REAL 3D W3 features an "M" (Manual) mode in which you can select your own shutter speed and aperture settings, as well as an "A" (Aperture-priority) mode that allows you to control the depth of field and a "P" (Program) mode that automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture. These modes provide photographers with the freedom to express their own ideas in 3D as well as 2D shots.
● 13 different scene positions
You just select the mode that best suits your shot and the camera then automatically sets the shutter speed, exposure and white balance. It also fine tunes settings such as the sensitivity and whether the flash is used. Whether it's a 2D shot or 3D shot, you can leave it to the camera to shoot the scene beautifully.
● Super Intelligent Flash
This function automatically adjusts the flash brightness to match the scene being shot. In shots of people, for example, the flash provides brightly lit shots even in backlit situations or at night. For macro shots in dark locations such as dimly lit rooms, you can take naturally lit shots with no subject flaring or underexposed backgrounds.
Advanced 3D Modes
● Individual Shutter 3D Shooting
This mode allows you to shoot one image, then move the camera and shoot a second image, after which the camera merges and saves the 2 images as a single 3D image. This heightens the 3D effect for large or distant subjects such as mountains or high-rise buildings, while giving totally natural-looking enhanced 3D shots of small subjects such as flowers.
<Effective scene>
Macro Photography
Allows naturally textured close-up 3D shots of flowers and other small objects.
Landscape Photography
This mode enables you to take 3D shots of scenes with an enhanced impression of depth.
● Interval 3D shooting
When you are shooting from a moving position (e.g.: when you're in a train, plane or car), this feature captures scenes with an extra deep-3D effect by taking two successive shots from different viewpoints. An instance where this could be useful would be if you wanted to convey the sense of depth in a massive cloudscape from a plane or of distant scenery from a train window, and will expand the scope of 3D photography.
Parallax Control (3D Tuning Function)
In 3D AUTO mode, the camera automatically adjusts the "parallax" (the positioning of the two pictures on top of each other) to achieve a more readily visible and natural sense of depth. You can also manually adjust the parallax using the Parallax Control lever on the top of the camera*. By checking the image on the LCD monitor, you can quickly and easily enhance the 3D effect or correct any image misalignement in the before and after shots.
* When the power management is set to "QUICK AF" or "POWER SAVE2", manual control is enabled.
Shooting beautiful 2D images is easy, too!
This is not just a 3D camera; it can be used as a normal "2D" camera too. With its 10 megapixel resolution for superb high-resolution images, 3x optical zoom lens and large 3.5" LCD screen, plus advanced Face Detection technology this is a solid 2D camera.
Button to switch your shooting mode 2D/3D
On the back of the camera there is an easily accessible button which allows you to instantly switch between 2D and 3D shooting and playback at a single touch, keeping things nice and simple.
Advanced 2D Modes
The FinePix REAL 3D W3 comes with various Advanced 2D modes that allow users to benefit from the fact that the 3D camera is actually two cameras combined into one.
These modes use the two lenses and sensors independently and just as if you were shooting with 2 separate digital cameras, you can choose different settings for each "image capture system" and take 2 different photos of the same scene at the same instant.
● Tele/Wide Simultaneous Shooting
By selecting different settings for each lens, you can shoot a close-up shot and take a wide-angle photo of the same image at the exact same instant.
● 2-Colour Simultaneous Shooting
Just select different setting for each image capture system and you can take two shots with different color tones with one press of the shutter button. You can select the vivid colors of the Chrome setting coupled with Black & White, or the Standard color setting with Black & White, to see the same shot in different color modes.
● 2-Sensitivity Simultaneous Shooting
This allows you to choose different sensitivity settings and shoot the same image and high sensitivity and low sensitivity. You can take 2 shots with different levels of background blur, or shoot a dimly lit scene with blur reduction prioritized in one shot and image quality prioritized in the other.
3D movie and photo editing in "MyFinePix Studio"*
The "MyFinePix Studio" viewer software which you'll find in your camera box offers simple and straightforward editing for 3D movies and photos. You can use this software to cut and splice together segments of a 3D movie at any point. You can also use it to convert 3D photos (MPO) to JPEG format, or to re-merge JPEG images into an MPO image.
* For Windows PC only. Latest version (ver2.0 or higher) required - automatic web updates supported

BRISTOL, Conn. – It had been billed as a sensational pitcher's duel – South Burlington, Vt. fireballer Ben Tate against Lincoln's crafty southpaw Kyle Marrapese.
The pair didn't disappoint, as they combined to whiff – get this – 19 foes.
In the end, however, Marrapese captured the battle, and it happened due to one precious, hellacious swing from teammate Steve Andrews.
It was the tall, husky kid nicknamed "Big Country" (he stands six feet tall and weighs at least 185) who crushed a three-run homer over the centerfield scoreboard with two down in the fifth inning to clinch for Lincoln a stunning, come-from-behind 5-2 victory over the Vermonters in a Little League New England Regional Tournament semifinal on Thursday morning.
With the clout, one that brought immediate roars from the enthusiastic Lincoln crowd sitting (or standing nervously) in the Breen Field bleachers down the third-base line, skipper Matt Netto and Co. sealed a spot in the championship final.
They will face Westport, Conn. (3-0 victor over Saco, Me.) at 7 p.m., Saturday for the right to trek to the World Series.
"It went at least 280-290 feet," Netto grinned of Andrews' bash, his 10th of the season. "(Folks) had said it bounced at the edge of the trees (far beyond the scoreboard). What a rip! Remember, this is when all the pressure is on. It was a very, very low pitch, and he just golfed it out.
"We showed a lot of heart (Thursday)," he continued. "We've told the kids the last three days we needed to shot it more, and that's one of the gutsiest games I've ever seen."
The dinger moreorless overshadowed the masterpiece Marrapese had hurled. He lasted 5 1/3 frames, yielding just five hits and a walk while fanning 12 before reaching the 85-pitch threshold. (He closed with 87, and righty reliever Zarek Larisa replaced him).
Tate, who took the loss, went 4 2/3 before hurling his 87th; all told, he allowed four hits, three runs (all earned) and two walks with seven strikeouts.
Actually, the triumph came to be as Lincoln's patient lineup made Tate's pitch count rise rapidly. He had whiffed Larisa to open the top of the fifth, but Patrick Gribbin reached on a bunt single, and Tate walked Aaron DeSousa before getting David Bordieri to pop to the hill.
That's when the righthander had tossed his 87th, and South Burlington manager Sean McGrath opted to move to Matt Guyette.
On his first pitch – and the Vermont state champs still ahead, 2-1 – Andrews swung mightily and drove a shot that continued to rise upon clearing the mammoth board in center. (It caused those in the press box either to gasp or chuckle at the extreme power).
The wallop, he admitted, was reminiscent of the one he clubbed high off the left, back Lonsdale Elementary School wall facing Randy Hien Field's plate during a district win over Smithfield over a month ago.
"I was just thinking I had to get on him right away," offered the soft-spoken Andrews. "When I hit it, I was, like, 'Good, we've got the lead.'"
When asked which homer felt better physically, he said, "The one that hit the school, that felt more solid, but obviously this one means more."
Lincoln added an insurance run in the sixth when Tyler Santilli knocked a bloop hit to right-center, moved to second on a wild pitch, raced to third on Nate Kumar's sacrifice bunt and scored on Braedon Carney's deep sacrifice fly to right.
As stated, the tilt began as a pitcher's duel, and South Burlington got to Marrapese first.
In the bottom of the initial frame, leadoff batter Max Plunkett poked a ground single to shallow right, and took second on a passed ball. With one down, Chance O'Connor roped a double to the right-center hole to plate him, but was caught in a pickle. Following an entertaining back-and-forth rundown, one that included at least six Lincoln players, second baseman Blake Zaniol applied the tag.
On the very first offering of the second, Sammy Premsagar drilled an opposite-field homer to right, and Vermont held a 2-0 advantage. Still, Marrapese struck out the side, and only got stronger as time passed.
The lefty faced 16 hitters after that "tater" and whiffed. In the process, he surrendered only two singles, both grounders.
"It got him mad," Netto smiled, referencing the blast. "Kyle doesn't like to get beaten. He's like a boxer. You get punched, you punch right back.
"I never have a doubt when I give the ball to Kyle," he continued. "I knew he'd go the distance, or most of it anyway. He just knows how to pitch. The kid is so reliable."
Stated Marrapese: "I didn't know (I was striking out so many). I just kept pitching; I wasn't thinking about anything else. I was just taking it one batter at a time."
In the interim, Tate was sailing. He allowed just a walk to Connor Benbenek in the second (while striking out a trio) before yielding Aaron DeSousa a lined hit to center with two down in the third. The superb hurler, though, got Bordieri to ground to second.
"With (Tate), he rarely throws a curveball, so we told the kids to sit on his fastball, and if it's out of the zone, take it," Netto claimed. "We were working on his pitch count. We've done it multiple times this year. We were very disciplined at the plate.
"Through the first three, we weren't swinging at great pitches; we were hitting it, but not solidly," he added. "Once we got more patient, we saw one we could hit (with authority). The plan worked just to our liking."
Not surprisingly, Andrews started the fourth with a hard, opposite-field double down the line in left, then took third on Benbenek's groundout to short and scored on Zaniol's soft hit to center. That sliced the deficit to 2-1.
"Once the other pitcher (Guyette) came in, I told the guys that he doesn't pitch as hard as Tate; he threw different speeds, so we were going from facing a kid who throws 70-71 (mph) to 58-60. I asked them to move up on the plate and, if they saw something in the zone, go for it."
After Marrapese reached his limit, Larisa went to the mound with one out in the sixth and immediately forced clean-up Ethan Klesch to line to Andrews at first. He did walk Premsagar, in part to his strength with the bat. Premsagar then hustled to second on a wild offering.
With Tate in the box, Larisa needed just three pitches to clinch the victory. Appropriately, Marrapese caught his lazy fly in center.
"That was the greatest moment of my life," he laughed. "I knew then we had a chance to go to Williamsport. We left it all out on the field, just like Coach asked us."

CANTON - High winds Friday knocked down power lines, tree limbs and phone lines and left more than 4,000 St. Lawrence County residents temporarily without power.
The electrical outages started mid-morning in the southwestern part of the county and moved toward the northeast throughout the day, following the movement of the storm front.
The number of outages fluctuated throughout the day, said Interim County Emergency Services Director Keith J. Zimmerman. As power got restored in one place, it went out in another.
National Grid reported at 9:15 p.m. that 3,800 customers were without power with scattered outages reported throughout the county, including a number of different outages in the Potsdam-Norwood corridor, the Parishville-Colton area and the Brasher-Winthrop region. he latest estimated time for restoring power service was listed as 7 a.m. Saturday.
Around 10:45 a.m. roughly 850 customers in the village of Canton lost power, including the Canton Central school building complex and the St. Lawrence County Courthouse. Emergency lighting was used in the Canton school hallways until power was restored.
Although power was restored to the county courthouse at about 1 p.m. state employees who work there were dismissed from work at 1:30 p.m. County employees remained on the job.
Scattered outages were also reported in Norwood, Colton, outside of Ogdensburg, Morrisown, Black Lake, Parishville and other communities.
Theres lots of scattered damage, Mr. Zimmerman said. Theres no major lines down and no major concentration of damage.
Shortly after 11 a.m., a Time Warner fiber cable line fell and blocked traffic on Route 11 near Windy Hill Storage facility between Canton and Potsdam, prompting officials to reroute cars.
Suzanne L. Burnette, Russell, was driving her Dodge van toward Canton when she drove under the line seconds after it fell, leaving her with a cracked front windshield.
I slammed on my brakes but there was no way I could stop the van, Ms. Burnette said. I was terrified because I didnt know if they were electric lines.
In Potsdam, a fallen maple tree at 302 River St., knocked down a power line and sheared the top off a utility pole. The pole blocked the road for more than two hours as crews from Potsdam Fire Department and National Grid worked at the scene.
It was a scene repeated over and over again during the course of the day as fire departments from Waddington to Winthrop responded to reports of downed trees and power lines.
At least two separate incidents of partial roof damage occurred in Lawrenceville during Fridays high winds.
At 923 Ferris Road, tin flew off the roof, leading to action from the towns fire department. The department also responded to a blown down stop sign and other tin that had flown off near the Lawrenceville Baptist Church.
We blocked traffic and closed the road down because we were afraid flying tin would hit someone. It was very dangerous, Lawrenceville Fire chief John LaShomb Sr. said.
Power in the village of Canton was restored to roughly 900 customers close to 1 p.m. after being out for roughly two hours. Dispatchers handled several reports of wind damage to building structures including a roof blown off a structure and fire calls.
There was also a report of a sheared power pole dangling over the road bed by a bridge in the town of Russell. One person reported a trampoline blowing across Route 11 in the town of Stockholm. A trailer being pulled by a truck reportedly blew over.
Mr. Zimmerman said the situation would have been much worse if leaves were still on the trees because the limbs would have been heavier and more likely to break off. The mid 50-degree temperature and lack of rain or ice lessened the impact of the high winds.
The tree limbs werent that heavy. It could have been much worse, he said.
In Canton, the outage occurred at the State Street substation after three power lines went down. Power was restored after National Grid crews switched circuits to the Little River substation.

The bid to construct the new water transmission line will be determined at the next Price City Council meeting on Feb 27.
On Feb 13, Gary Sonntag reported to the council that 19 pre-qualified contractors bidding on the project met Wednesday reviewing the transmission line installation. This included a two-hour field trip to the top of Wood Hill.
For a number of years, the city has experienced chronic repair problems with the 12- and 16-inch lines that bring drinking water to Price from the treatment plant. The 12-inch pipe carries the spring water from Price Canyon, while the 16-inch pipe brings in water from the treatment plant.
The water is pumped to a 1 0-million gallon tank on Wood Hill. The lines that are currently being used are 60 and 40 years old respectively and have outlived expectancy, according to Sonntag.
"We were experiencing more and more repair problems which was a great expense to the city," said Sonntag. He explained that three years ago, the council felt enough money had been spent and it was time to consider a complete replacement.
Initially the city, through a feasibility study, learned that a 30-inch pipeline might be an option to allow enough capacity for population growth. Sonntag said the expected cost of $15 million needed to be reduced to make it more affordable and realistic to area population growth over the next 20 years. Officials elected to forecast an increase growth of up to 9,000 people and felt this was more realistic and reasonable, thus reducing the pipe size down to a 20-inch diameter and resulting in a project cost of $10 million.
The city, due to the size and complexity of the project, hired a consulting engineering firm, through a selection process. Hansen, Allen, and Luce, Inc. was selected and has been working with Price City for the past 14 months to develop the funding applications, preliminary design and final construction and bidding documents for the project. Considering the expense of the project, the city has completed a funding package involving Price City Permanent Community Impact Board, Board of Water Recourses and the Division of Drinking Water.
The new 20-inch pipeline will closely follow the present alignment of the 16-inch line from the treatment plant to the tank on Wood Hill, a distance of about 12 miles. The new pipeline will be transporting up to 6.2 million gallons of water a day and will withstand pressures up to 280 per square inch at its lowest point.
The mandatory pre-bid meeting for the contractors drew 19 contractors and the final bid deadline will be Feb. 27, at which time the bid will be awarded to the lowest bidder.
The project is anticipated to be completed by May 2003.
In other business discussed at the meeting Wednesday, city treasurer Shari Madrid appeared before the council requesting raising the minimum utility deposit from $100 to $200 siting mounting problems in collections.
Currently, the city has 208 customers who are more than 90 days delinquent with payments, resulting in excess of $42,000 being past due.
The utility deposit at Price is less than neighboring cities, thus the proposal to increase the deposit.
In the discussion it was brought up that some people would have a hard time coming up with the additional $100 thus making it a hardship on some citizens. It has been 14 years since the deposit was discussed.
The deposit covers water, sewer, garbage and electricity. No decision was made but a committee was formed to further discuss the deposit and effects this will have on both the city and its citizens.
The city council also discussed at length the appointment of a community development coordinator.
In a vote of three to two, the council decided to continue pursuing a person and set up interviews. The council and mayor were clear to point out that the position will not be the mayor's administrative assistant but take on a new role from the position held by previous employee Vern Jones.
Mayor Piccolo sees the new community developer assisting many departments and being a fund raiser of sorts, seeking out grants and additional funding sources for many of the projects on the horizon, including the trails project and an equestrian park.

WASHINGTON — The military deputy in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition discussed tactical aviation programs during congressional testimony here May 8.
During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Lt. Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger discussed what steps the Air Force has taken in regard to F-22 Raptor pilot safety.
"We have initiated 17 life support enhancements to the F-22 as direct risk mitigation steps,†said Wolfenbarger. "Many of these enhancements are already fielded, including a modification to the emergency oxygen activation handle and an aircrew blood oxygen sensor.â€
Responding to questions regarding what percentage of hypoxia-like incidents there have been, Wolfenbarger answered that pilots have reported occurrences in less than 0.1 percent of all F-22 sorties flown. She emphasized Air Force leaders' commitment to eliminating the incidents altogether.
"Our pilots' safety is of utmost concern and a top priority,†she said. "We have all of the best minds on this, from across the (Department of Defense), NASA, academia and industry experts.â€
When asked by Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts about whether she felt the F-22 was safe to fly, Wolfenbarger said, "Yes sir, we feel it is.â€
In addition to safety of flight, the general emphasized the need for the aircraft.
"Fifth-generation fighters such as the F-22 and F-35 (Joint Strike Fighter) are key elements of our nation's defense and deterrent capability,†she said.

|Heavy equipment operators clear and level the ground for a 1,000 yard rifle venue at the county's shooting range project. Carbon County Travel Bureau members toured the shooting range site last week.
On June 22, members of the Carbon County Travel Bureau toured the fairgrounds and the gun range with planning director Dave Levanger.
Levanger took the group to various construction sites and explained the purpose, plan and timetable of each project.
The tour began at the county fairgrounds, where the group watched as work progressed on the new expo center.
The county planning director explained that the project is on schedule and the building could be completed by February. The building will be used for conventions, trade and travel shows.
Levanger explained that the all-terrain vehicle trail through the county will be accessible from the fairgrounds. The county facilities might be a good place for organized groups of riders to converge and begin the explorations of the ATV trails system.
He said a five-acre fish pond is being constructed at the south end of the fairgrounds.
The county planner also explained that the new entrance road into the fairgrounds is being paved with rotomill from nearby state road projects. Rotomill is old asphalt that has been pulverized for re-use on paving projects.
More rotomill is being stockpiled to assist with the Nine Mile Canyon road project slated for sometime this summer.
The group then journeyed to the new county gun range, located about 15 miles south of Price. The project is a few miles east of the old Wattis town site along North Spring Wash. The county bought 600 acres of private property to construct the facility.
Work is in progress on the gun ranges, caretaker building, law enforcement training center, hospitality center and cowboy action shooting venue.
Large road equipment is scraping the sage and leveling the 500 and 1,000 yard gun ranges while work continues on the buildings.
Levanger explained that North Spring produces a good flow, but the water has proven to be unsuitable for human consumption.
Cisterns are being constructed at the venue sites. Potable water will be trucked into the site.
Restrooms will be modern facilities with flush toilets and septic systems.
The hospitality centers will be equipped with meeting rooms, kitchen facilities, and picnic areas.
Carbon officials hope to use the county ranges and facilities to accommodate national and international shooting events. There are several groups around the country with members who do sport and competition shooting on a regular basis.
The shooting sports are gaining popularity each year and the nationwide Single Action Shooting Society is said to have signed on 20,000 new members last year.
If the groups can be drawn to the area, Carbon County could be a new national center for shooting sports events.
"This might be the best facility in the world when we get through with it," Levanger said.
An area of special interest is the cowboy action shooting area. Cowboy action shooting is a sport that has swept the country over the past decade.
Wanna-be cowboys and cowgirls dress up in period costumes and shoot vintage firearms in a number of creative ways and at a variety of unique targets.
The shooters wear colorful costumes and are known to each other by colorful names.
Big Nose George, Terrible Tilley, and Gun Smoke Gus are a few of the characters who frequent the cowboy action circuit.
The whole thing is a spoof of the old west and the gunfights on the streets of Dodge City.
The county is building a remarkable cowboy action shooting facility that resembles an old frontier town.
The place is called "Old Castle Gate." There are more than one dozen different target areas disguised as frontier storefronts, livery stables and the OK Corral.
The mock town is being built in a depression surrounded by hills along North Spring Wash.
The location offers excellent target backdrop and safety potential for the raucous, staged events.
The frontier town is expected to be completed by October and Butch Cassidy might rob the stage there before Halloween.
Overall, Carbon County has undertaken some ambitious and expensive projects in order to promote tourism and sell the area as a unique, diverse area for conventions, trade shows, and vacations.
County commissioners have supported the projects to promote tourism in the Carbon area.

Buzz: The Players Dropped Their Request To Never Have Their Share Drop But Make Whole May Not Come Back?
In a couple of tweets, Nick Cotsonika of Yahoo says that the NHLPA backed off on their request that their share never fall below where it was the year before.
He adds that the NHL is uncertain if the make-whole concept will return. On the chance that the make-whole doesn't return, Cotsonika says "If NHL isn't bluffing and NHLPA misjudges that, NHL is partly to blame for bluffing before and giving PA reason to doubt it."
Adam Rotter: Everyone seems to be convinced that the things that Gary Bettman took "off the table" last Thursday will return when the two sides meet again. While that may end up being true, I have a hard time seeing the NHL returning to $300 million on make whole. The make-whole was brought in to save the 82 game season and was raised to $300 million to try and get a deal done last week. Now the NHL may have other ideas on what they want to do to try and make a deal.

Asked whether the Obama administration's proposed gun laws hinder self-defense, Vice President Joe Biden disclosed Wednesday the advice he has given his wife about the use of a shotgun at the Bidens' Wilmington, Delaware, home. But, noted Steven Nelson on USNews.com, if Dr. Jill Biden follows her husband's advice, she could find herself on the wrong side of Delaware law.
Biden was fielding questions about the Obama administration's proposed gun regulations during a Facebook "chat" hosted by Parents magazine when one of the e-mailed questions put to the vice president had to do with self-defense for women and whether the restrictions proposed by the president would leave people unable to defend themselves, even in their own homes. Biden, who heads the administration's task force on gun violence, said the proposed ban on "assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines would not impair the defense of hearth and home. He recommended a shotgun for that purpose, noting that he keeps two shotguns and the ammunition for them in a locked cabinet in his home. Said Biden:
Get a double-barreled shotgun. Have the shells in the 12 gauge shotgun. And I promise you — as I told my wife — we live in an area that's in the woods and somewhat secluded. I said, "Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house. I promise you whoever is coming in is not going to. "You don't need an AR-15. It's harder to aim, it's harder to use and in fact, you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun.
But Delaware law forbids the discharge of a firearm in the situation Biden described unless the danger is clearly and imminently life threatening. Nelson quoted a Wilmington police sergeant who said city residents may not fire at mere trespassers.

All About Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs
Making healthy lifestyle changes alone is enough to help some people reach the cholesterol goals prescribed by their doctor. Others, however, need to take a cholesterol-lowering medication, as well.
According to the American Heart Association, there are five main types:
Statins (atorvastatin, fluvastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin, pitavastatin). These drugs work mainly by lowering LDL ("bad") cholesterol. They typically reduce LDL by 30 to 40 percent. They can also help raise HDL ("good") cholesterol and lower triglycerides (other blood fats). Statins work by slowing down the body's production of cholesterol. They also increase the liver's ability to remove LDL from the blood. In research involving people who already had heart disease, statins led to significant reductions in heart attacks and heart disease deaths. They may also prevent first heart attacks in people who are at high risk of developing heart disease.
Bile acid sequestrants (cholestyramine, colesevelam, colestipol). These drugs also lower LDL, although somewhat less than statins. These medications work by binding with bile acids in the intestines and forcing them to be eliminated in the stool rather than absorbed. The liver needs cholesterol to make bile acids, so as more bile is lost, more cholesterol from your body is used up to make additional bile.
Nicotinic acid (niacin). This B vitamin increases HDL and lowers LDL and triglycerides when taken at levels higher than dietary requirements. Nicotinic acid is sold as both a prescription drug and a dietary supplement, but only the prescription form should be used for cholesterol lowering.
Fibrates (gemfibrozil, fenofibrate). These drugs help mainly by lowering triglycerides by about 20 to 50 percent. They may also lead to modest improvements in LDL and HDL levels.
Ezetimibe. This drug lowers cholesterol by reducing the amount of cholesterol absorbed by the intestines. Ezetimibe, bile acid sequestrants, or nicotinic acid are sometimes combined with a statin to help people reach their LDL cholesterol-lowering goals.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
Carbon County voters casting ballots in the Republican primary election on June 22 will notice several changes in the process.
According to the Utah Lieutenant Governor's Office, numerous reforms, including changes in state and federal law, have been implemented to correct imperfections discovered in 2000 and maintain accessible and error-free elections.
The 2004 Utah Legislature amended the state's absentee voting law.
The amended law allows all registered voters to cast absentee ballots.
The purpose of the change is to reduce lines at polling locations on election day and increase voter turnout, explained the lieutenant governor's office.
Individuals interested in voting by absentee may contact the county clerks office.
To prevent fraud, an act signed into law in 2002 requires all voters who registered by mail or in a drive after Jan. 1, 2003 to provide photo identification or proof of residency before casting ballots. Regardless of how or when local residents registered, all voters should bring identification to the polls on election day.
Additionally, individuals who have moved within a county and have not re-registered at new addresses may still cast provisional ballots at their new voting precincts. A provisional ballot requires the individual to provide information regarding residency as well as identity and to affirm that he or she is registered to vote.
Following the primary election, the registration status of a provisional voter will be verified.
Provisional votes cast by residents registered in the county will be counted with the absentee ballots.
Locally, polling places have often been consolidated in the past. But that will not happen during the upcoming election.
"We have taken care to be sure people aren't confused by not combining polling places for this election," explained Carbon County Clerk Bob Pero. "In the past, that has sometimes created problems for voters so we are trying to have things be as clear as possible."
The primary election is only for registered Republicans or residents wishing to register with the party.
"The Republican Party officials closed their primaries in the 2000 election and that same thing will be in effect in this election," stated Pero. "People need to know that, if they are not a registered Republican, they cannot vote in this election."
"They can, however, register as a Republican at the polls if they are presently unaffiliated and want to affiliate with that party," pointed out the county clerk.
There are currently 1,621 registered Republican Party members residing in Carbon County.
The Republican primary on June 22 will pit the two gubernatorial candidates and their running mates against each other who came out of the party's state convention last month.
Jon M. Huntsman Jr. and running mate Utah County Commissioner Gary Herbert will square off at the primary polls against Nolan E. Karras and former Utah Congresswoman Enid Greene for the Republican spot on the general election ballot.
The winning Republican gubernatorial candidate will face Democrat Scott Matheson Jr. in the general election.
The other race that will be decided is between two candidates for the right to run against Democrat Jim Matheson in Utah's 2nd Congressional District.
Tim Bridgewater will go up against John Swallow for the chance to compete with Matheson for one of three seats Utah has in the United States Congress.
Carbon citizens may call the county clerk's office at 636-3201 to clarify their voting status, pointed out Pero.
In addition to preparing for the primary, the clerk's office has started getting ready for the general election in November.
"In that planning process, we are going to send out new voter identification cards to everyone who is registered in the county," pointed out Pero. "We want things to go smoothly in both elections."
The reforms, along with numerous American Disability Act (ADA) accessibility improvements, have been made to upgrade the election process.
Carbon County voters who may feel their rights were denied on election day should contact the offices listed in the uniform information posted at all local polling locations.
By the time the general election rolls around, Pero indicated that all of the polling places in Carbon County will be ADA compliant.
"We found that some of the polling places didn't meet the ADA standard and that will be corrected," concluded the county clerk.

The report included the State Auditor's assessment of the degree to which the judicial branch has substantiated implementation of 10 recommendations from her office's 2011 audit of the California Court Case Management System.
The judicial branch agreed to full implementation of the 2011 audit and has instituted oversight changes and project management changes in keeping with the recommendations. In October 2012, the Judicial Council Technology Committee and Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) provided the State Auditor's office with detailed responses to questions about the status of implementation.
The 2013 State Auditor's report listed as fully implemented 6 of the 10 recommendations and determined that implementation was not fully substantiated on the other 4 recommendations.
The report noted that the AOC believes it has fully implemented the recommendations, contrary to the State Auditor's determination.
The four recommendations currently in question are:
|Judicial Council/AOC Substantiation
|For future projects, full and accurate cost estimates should be disclosed to the Judicial Council, Legislature, and stakeholders from the beginning.
|Response detailed development of governance structure and establishment of the Judicial Branch Technology Committee to ensure implementation of this recommendation. No new projects are funded.
|For future projects, a long-term funding strategy should be in place before significant resources are invested.
|Response detailed development of governance structure and establishment of the Judicial Branch Technology Committee to ensure implementation of this recommendation. No new projects are funded.
|The AOC should continue to work with superior courts that have deployed the civil system to ensure that their concerns are addressed.
|Response detailed AOC's work with courts, including weekly conference calls, tracking of compliance with service level agreements, and workstreams that are collaboratively managed with the courts.
|The AOC should work with superior courts to address concerns about hosting their data at the California Court Technology Center.
|Response detailed multiple ways in which strict service level agreements are maintained and monitored. System reliability and availability is tracked and has been stable, and other management and service mechanisms are in place to address court issues promptly.
Two of the four incomplete recommendations concern future projects. Currently, the judicial branch has no funding for new technology projects and has not undertaken any projects on which to further substantiate the intent to comply with the auditor's recommendations.

In a recent interview with the Voice of Russia radio, Iraqi Minister of Foreign Affairs Hoshyar Zebari confirmed that Iraq would receive its first supply of arms shipments from Russia before the beginning of the summer, at the latest.
Russia is currently waiting for the Iraqi parliament to approve its 2013 federal budget, which has earmarked its first payment of the $4.2 billion total to Moscow for the weapons deal.
As part of the deal, Russia will supply Iraq with 50 Pantsir-S1 gun-missile short-range air defense systems and 30 advanced Mi-28NE attack helicopters.
The deal was originally announced on October 9, 2012, following a meeting between Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his Russian counterpart Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, in Moscow.
Unconcerned about what the United States would have to say about the sale, Prime Minister al-Maliki insisted, "Iraq needs Russia's support in building up its military and defense areas, in order to protect the country from terrorism."
The deal appeared to collapse when "Ali al-Mussawi, the media advisor to the Iraqi prime minister, announced in December 2012 the cancellation of the arms deal with Russia," amidst "corruption concerns," according to Al-Monitor.
Now, however, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari noted otherwise during his interview. "Iraq and Russia will proceed with the arms deal signed by Maliki during his most recent visit to Moscow," he stated.
Al-Monitor reported that earlier this year:
Maliki sent a delegation of army officers and weapons experts — headed by Iraqi Deputy Chief of Staff of Operations for the Iraqi Joint Forces Headquarters Gen. Aboud Kanbar — to Moscow to renegotiate the arms deal.

Mather and Vitters again. GEEZ! Is it raining again, too?
lol i guess people are going to complain about the lineup until the last day of the season. he could be drawing names out of a hat for all i care.
Listach and McKay are serious improvements. and what would you do, you want them to bring in someone else for the players to ignore? If they were running all out instead of checking out the play behind them, this wouldn't be an issue. Rookie mistakes aren't going to be solved by a new 3rd base coach.
actually the rule is don't make the 3rd out at 3rd… if you make the 3rd out trying to get to 2nd big deal you were trying to get into scoring position…
who cares??? Name one team that has never made a bad trade because someone got hurt. Every team has those type of trades… Do you think Colvin and DJ would have made that big of a difference?

NORFOLK Mitchell L. Butram bragged to his girlfriend about breaking into Norwood-Norfolk Central School in 2009, according to arrest papers filed in Norfolk Town Court, even escorting her and their children back to the scene of the crime to admire his handiwork.
Fresh out of an Ohio prison after serving time for an unrelated stolen-property case in the Buckeye State, Mr. Butram was extradited to St. Lawrence County this week to face charges in connection with the school burglary more than three years ago.
Mr. Butram, 38, listed as a Colton resident, was arrested Thursday under a warrant issued by Norfolk Town Justice Donald G. Lustyik and charged with third-degree burglary, third-degree criminal mischief and petit larceny.
Investigators said Mr. Butram smashed a window and entered the elementary wing of the school buildings at 7852 Route 56 in July 2009, causing more than $250 in damage. He then helped himself to a 27-inch Sansui television and a Sony DVD/VCR player, according to court documents. The value of those items was not indicated.
Elaina M. McMillen, who then lived with Mr. Butram, told investigators she questioned her boyfriend the night he returned home with electronics under his arm and a bleeding hand. He initially declined to reveal their provenance but, once Ms. McMillen was finished tending his wounds, he admitted he had broken into the school, she wrote in a deposition.
I then yelled at him and told him he was nuts and that his kid went to that school, Ms. McMillen wrote. Mitchell was happy about stealing the things from the school.
So happy, it seems, that he reportedly wanted his family to see what he had done.
That night of the larceny Mitchell wanted to go show me where he had broken in, Ms. McMillen wrote. I did not go that night but the next day Mitchell and I walked over to the school with our kids.
There, she told investigators, Mr. Butram pointed out plywood covering the broken window hed entered and described how he had tried to wipe his blood off the shattered glass.
The couple broke up soon afterward, Ms. McMillen told investigators.
St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Detective Thomas H. Caringi said that officials extradited Mr. Butram from Ohio on Wednesday after he finished serving a 14-month sentence for felony possession of a stolen handgun. Mr. Caringi said he believed Mr. Butram had been visiting a relative in Ohio at time of his arrest there.
An official with the Ashland County Clerk of Courts Office in Ohio said Friday that records listed charges against Mr. Butram of receiving stolen property and improper handling of a firearm, but referred questions about the case to the Ashland County Prosecutors office. A message left with that office was not returned Friday afternoon.
Mr. Butram was arraigned before Justice Lustyik and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $10,000 cash or $20,000 bond to await further proceedings.
