Alaska's Largest Industry Wants You!
Fisheries are the largest private employer in Alaska
National Geographic has called Alaska fisheries the best-managed in human history. Between 70,000 and 80,000 people earn their living in fisheries jobs, and the next 10 years will see a large increase in the need for scientifically trained technicians, managers, and ecologists to work in the fisheries industry.
Knowledge is vital for today's Alaska fishing industry jobs. Ecology, biology, microbiology, business management, computer skills, communication skills, cultural understanding ... a lot of education is necessary to make a rewarding, life-long career in today's fishing industry.
- Fishing companies like to hire people who already know something about the industry. Times are changing, and communication skills, scientific knowledge, and computer skills are more valuable than ever in this increasingly high-tech field.
- Regulatory agencies need field technicians and managers to study fish populations, monitor catches, and work effectively with people. There is growing demand in this area.
- Salmon enhancement projects need technicians, managers, and fish culturists to keep this vital resource renewable and healthy.
- Seafood companies need disciplined, educated people they can groom for management and quality control. It helps if they already know about fish anatomy, microbiology, and business practices; if they can write reports and communicate effectively. Knowledge of the overall fisheries business gives these in-demand job candidates a leg up.
A College/Industry Partnership
The University of Alaska Southeast, Sitka Campus, has partnered with industry and the regulatory agencies to develop a curriculum which can meet this growing need of qualified workers. Industry is also donating scholarship money and providing internship opportunities for students, so that actual work experience is a big part of the education process.
The resulting program is called the Associate of Applied Science in Fisheries Technology. Most students will be able to complete this degree in 2 years, and the credits earned can be applied toward a bachelor's degree at either the University of Alaska Anchorage or University of Alaska Fairbanks.
You can start this fall to take classes, wherever you are, and begin working toward a diploma that will open doors to high-paying jobs both on land and on water.
Key Features of the Program
1. Distance delivered classes
Study in the comfort of your own home, at times that fit your work schedule. Not only does this allow you to take classes without moving, it also allows you to work in the fisheries field nearest your current location. World fisheries are under stress, and people who have learned "the Alaska way" of effective fisheries management may soon be in demand in many other places. Wherever that may be, get the education you need to advance in your job.
You will need access to a computer with good internet connection. This could be at home or one of the regional partnership campuses near where you live.
2. Career Guidance
The Student Success Center of the Sitka Campus will work with you to plan your education, match your skills and interests to your career path, and overcome personal and financial obstacles to getting the education you need and the job you want.
3. Hands-on Experience
All of the classes in the Fisheries Technology program are designed to give students actual hands-on experience with the science and art of fisheries. UAS is known for its lab classes, for example. For fish biology and microbiology classes, students can expect to be loaned lab supplies, microscopes to do their own microbiology work, and fish to dissect. In addition, local workshops and short classes will give students actual experience in salmon enhancement, field observation, and boat trips with actual fishing and catch monitoring operations.
4. Internships
The industry and Alaska state regulatory agencies have stepped forward to provide working internships for UAS Fisheries Technology students. This provides an opportunity to discover what different jobs are like, and allows employers to develop a relationship with students. These internships are a crucial part of the value of this education program.
5. Partner Campuses
A number of local communities have a partner campus staffed with dedicated support and instructional people for this statewide Fisheries Technology program. So far these partner communities include Bethel, Dillingham, Homer, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Sitka, and Valdez.
6. Financial Assistance
A great deal of money is available to help students pay for their Fisheries Technology education. There are scholarships for students in particular towns along the coast, scholarships based on financial need, and scholarships for a variety of specific cultural and academic qualifications. Governors Scholarships and other achievement-based grants can also be used by students who choose to make Fisheries Technology their career. Contact the Student Success Center at 907-747-7717 to find out how to get the financial assistance you need.
Job Availability
Students graduating in the program report excellent opportunities and the demand for trained Fisheries Technology graduates is increasing rapidly. The UAS Sitka Student Success Center works closely with every student before, during, and after their program of study to help maximize the potential outcome for each student.

We are committed to providing Duramax Stave Bearings, at the lowest prices; with superior customer service. Request a quote today in order to save a significant amount for your ship or installation. When ships need a high performance stave bearing, the professionals turn to Duramax Marine. The company produces the popular Johnson Demountable bearing system which is known for its toughness and simplicity. Each piece is precision-tooled to create an exact fit inside the round-bore housing. They lock in place forming a cylindrical pattern that guides shafts and protects them from excessive wear. These keystone-sided molded solid nitrile staves are considered as the best water-lubricated system in its class. Thanks to the accuracy of the measurements, the staves are able to reduce resonant vibration which consequently enhances the ship's stability. Among the notable features of this system is the quick release design. This allows the maintenance crew to replace the bearings as needed without having to withdraw the shaft. What's more, the replacements for these are so much more affordable than traditional bearings at half the price. Exceptional Fit No matter how good a stave bearing is, it will not perform well if it is ill-fitted to the shaft journal. Duramax Marine understands this which is why every piece goes through a rigorous fitting process to get the measures just right. Only after the desired clearance is achieved will the staves be given the thumbs up for packaging and shipping. Computer controlled machines ensure that the system conforms to the exact internal diameter for the housing. The staves are put together inside a comparably sized tube at the factory for testing. The use of compression head results in an extremely precise fit. After this, the diameter is measured to verify if the goal has been achieved. The engineers take no chances as small flaws can be magnified in harsh environments. Every inch is inspected and all the data gathered are recorded for the client's guidance. Hydrodynamic Design Effective water lubrication happens only when the design is done just right to take advantage of the movements under the surface. When the shaft turns faster than a meter per second, it creates a hydrodynamic water wedge which is instrumental in isolating the shaft from the bearing so that their surfaces don't touch. The parallel grooves along the inner diameter of the demountable system forms channels through which the water passes continuously. This thin film of liquid is enough to reduce abrasion and prolong the life of the shaft. The grooves also serve as a convenient disposal system for any buildup of harmful chemicals. Hassle-free Installation The sides are molded in a keystone shape for a good reason. It allows each piece of the stave bearing to fit securely into place with the bond reinforced by the friction between their surfaces. The identical staves are simply set inside the round bore housing until they form a complete circle. The installation of a compression head comes next for the purpose of exerting force along the length of the system. This locks all the pieces in and ensures that the sides will not snap out. The nitrile rubber surface goes through a controlled deformation until the final desired configuration is achieved. Withdrawal is just as easy and can be achieved piecewise without disassembling the whole shaft, resulting minimal downtime. Other Benefits of the Johnson Demountable Bearing Aside from providing excellent water lubrication, prolonging the life of the shaft, and minimizing vibrations, the system provides multiple other benefits. These include flexibility through interchangeable pieces and uniformity of journal size all along the shaft. The materials and design are also responsible for drastically reducing electrolysis and its harmful effects. The system is priced competitively and its ease of handling is an added boon to the customer. All these make the Duramax Marine Johnson Demountable Stave Bearing the ultimate solution for round bore housings.

By By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
To say the least, it's been an interesting week for the Carbon High boys basketball team.
Needing a win to clinch a playoff spot in the 3A State Tournament, the Dinos had a senior night to remember as they pulled past North Sanpete 55-53 in a game that went down to the wire.
Carbon High senior Michael Peczuh missed a shot in the paint with seconds left giving North Sanpete a chance for a final shot to win the game before a possible overtime. Instead of sulking about the missed shot, Peczuh found himself in the right place at the right time as he was fouled on an over the back call by the Hawks' Cole Seely with 6.5 seconds left.
Peczuh knocked down two clutch free throws in the final seconds giving the Dinos a 55-53 lead.
"I had a lot of nerves before going to the free throw line," Peczuh said after the game. "I just tried to focus and go blank and it worked."
North Sanpete had one final opportunity to tie the game but Jordan Christensen dribbled the ball off his foot turning the ball over to the Dinos with one second left.
One long inbounds pass was all the Dinos needed to secure the last second victory and set off a celebration with players, family members and fans spilling onto the court.
After making a number of key plays down the stretch to help the Dinos clinch a spot in the playoffs, Peczuh said it was going be a night to remember for all of the seniors.
"This is going to be a great memory for all of us," he said.
The Dinos did not face an easy task against a North Sanpete team that came in with just two Region 12 wins.
The two teams battled back and forth for much of the first half as the Dinos led 28-25 going into halftime.
The Dinos grabbed a 34-29 lead in the third quarter before senior Derek Young picked up his third foul midway through the quarter.
North Sanpete's Jake Bailey, who finished with a game-high 24 points, used all of his 6-foot-6-inch frame to cause problems inside for the Dinos.
Despite the height difference at times for the Dinos, they still maintained a 36-35 lead heading into the final quarter.
From there, Young, Peczuh and fellow senior Bryce Blackburn each made plays in a back and forth final quarter of play.
Blackburn's layup and foul coversion gave the Dinos a 41-37 lead with 6:43 left.
After trading baskets, Young hit a big 3-pointer for the Dinos giving them a 48-43 lead. But Bailey continued to pester the Dino defense keeping the Hawks within striking distance in the final moments.
Young hit a hook shot over Bailey to give the Dinos a 53-49 lead but Cole Seely hit a key basket and was fouled on the shot. His made free throw cut the lead to 53-52 with 1:40 left.
Young missed the front end of one and one and Christensen hit 1-of-2 free throws on the other end to tie the game at 53-53 with 1:25 left.
The Dinos milked most of the time left on the clock looking to take a final shot. The move nearly backfired when Peczuh's shot missed but North Sanpete was unable to capitalize on the opportunity.
"Our seniors stepped up big and played well tonight," said CHS head coach Jeff Cisneros. "Our season could have been over tonight so this is a big win for us."
Cisneros said the Dinos caught a break in the final moments with Peczuh being fouled by North Sanpete to set up the chance to get the lead. In previous situations, Cisneros said the Dinos have been on the other end of the tough result.
"Some games we've been a second too slow to get into that position on defense, but tonight we were able to do that," he explained.
Peczuh and Young led the Dinos with 14 points each and Blackburn added 11 points. Cisneros led the Dinos offense with a team-high 10 assists in the win.
While the victory clinched a spot in the 3A State Tournament, the Dinos had to travel to Delta for the season finale on Friday evening.
Despite playing a close first quarter, the Dinos went cold in the second quarter and were put into a large deficit thanks to a hot shooting performance by the Rabbits.
The Dinos trailed 29-17 at the half and while they were able to convert more shots on offense, the Rabbits continued to maintain a steady pace on offense on their way to a 67-50 win.
With the loss, the Dinos tied with Delta for the third spot in the Region 12 standings. A coin toss was held immeadiately after the game which saw Delta come away with the third spot and Carbon taking the fourth seed from Region 12.
The coin toss result does not make anything easier for the Dinos. Now they must travel to Region 11 leader Morgan High for a game on Friday night at 7 p.m. Morgan finished Region 11 play with an 12-0 record and have won 14 straight games dating back to mid-December.
If the Dinos are able to travel to Morgan and come away with a victory, they would advance to the 3A quarterfinals which will be held at Weber State University in Ogden starting on Feb. 21.
The Dinos finished regular season play with a record of 11-11 including a 4-6 record in Region 12 play.

Councilmember Doug Parsons discusses Sunnyside's options concerning police protection at the city's Aug. 5 council meeting.
Sunnyside and East Carbon City continue to debate budget issues concerning police coverage.
The Sunnyside and East Carbon councils have voted to move the termination date of the contract back 60 days from the previous July 18 cut off date to Sept. 18 to give the cities more time to find a solution to the dispute.
Sunnyside was faced with a similar situation five years ago when the two cities failed to reach an agreement.
East Carbon City Police Department ceased coverage of the connecting town before Sunnyside was prepared to start its own law enforcement agency, resulting in an absence of coverage. During the period of no coverage, there were several calls that were not responded to due to Sunnyside not having met the necessary requirements to provide police protection, according to Cletis Steele of AP

I have the following hypothetical scenario -
I have an existing wired LAN, which may or may not already have a wireless network (and which should not be used/interfered with). I also have a few linux systems I would like to plug in to this wired LAN, and use them as wireless access points. Clients connecting to these APs will have internet access, but not LAN access (which should be no problem through iptables, I believe). The linux systems may or may not be within range of each other.
Here is my dilemma - I would like to have the systems automatically detect upon boot if another nearby system is already up and running an access point. If it is, the newly booted system should join it and extend the network - otherwise, they should become the first to host the network. It should also be able to respond to events like the original host shutting down, etc.
Is this even possible? I have some networking and iptables experience, but nothing on this scale. I would greatly appreciate if somebody experienced can help me out on this issue.

Traditionally, patients with locally advanced, high risk adenocarcinoma of the prostate have been treated with radiation therapy. However, local control and survival have been somewhat disappointing. This study was initiated to investigate whether concurrent hormonal therapy in addition to radiation therapy could improve outcomes. This is the most recent update of this data since its publication in the New England Journal of Medicine two years ago.
Four hundred fifteen patients with T1/T2 adenocarcinoma of the prostate (grade 3), or T3/T4 (any grade) were stratified for prognostic factors and randomized to receive radiation therapy alone or LHRH agonist plus radiation therapy.

PARISHVILLE For the past 101 years, the body of 81-year-old Civil War veteran Webster L. Howe lay in an unmarked grave in Hillcrest Cemetery.
While his family members adjacent grave sites were marked, Mr. Howes plot had only a plain stone that didnt even bear his name, let alone pay tribute to his military service.
That changed on Friday, when the Parishville Historical Association and Parishville Amvets Post 265 dedicated a plaque with Mr. Howes name, along with a grave marker indicating that he served in the Union Army infantry.
Association President Joseph R. McGill said he learned of Mr. Howes service while helping Lee N. Houser, a descendant of the Civil War veteran, conduct genealogical research.
I found an obituary for Webster Howe, and it said he was a Civil War soldier, Mr. McGill said. I thought he probably deserved to have a marked grave.
And so began the process that took nearly three years to come to fruition.
I had to get his service records, review the cemetery records and get a member of the family to agree to it, Mr. McGill said.
This was done with the help of many people, Mr. Houser said, including Town Historian Emma Remington and Amvets members from Parishville and Massena.
How often do you get to recognize someone who fought in the Civil War? said Amvets Post 265 Commander Ron Ferguson. Its amazing to be a part of something like this and to honor someone after more than 100 years.
Chaplain Larry Page agreed. Things like this are very important, he said.
Mr. Houser, who traveled from Clifton Springs for the service, said Mr. Howe had three brothers who also fought in the Civil War: Rufus, also buried here, David, who is buried in Wisconsin, and Russell, who is buried in Michigan.
It means a lot to me that were finally honoring him after 100 years, Mr. Houser said. Every veteran should have a grave marker with their distinguished service on it.
Mr. Houser said his family has a great tradition of military service.
The Howe family has served in all our American wars, with military service dating back to the American Revolution, he said.
Mr. Houser said he began studying genealogy about 20 years ago, after some cousins presented him with information that he didnt think was accurate.
After he began studying his family history, he discovered that not only was his great-great-grandfather a veteran of the Civil War, but he had three brothers who were Civil War veterans.
Mr. McGill said Fridays service wasnt the first time Parishville has paid tribute to a soldier from long ago.
Emma Remington has done 11 of these over the past 30-plus years, he said. When we found this one, I thought it was my turn to take the lead.
While not all of the veterans had been buried in unmarked graves, Mr. McGill said, there was no indication of their military service at their burial sites.
Theyre all war veterans from the Revolutionary War, Civil War or World War II, he said.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA) -- Itemized deductions on your tax returns are just some of the battlegrounds in the fiscal cliff deliberations, and one of the casualties could be charitable donations.
For Americans in the top tax bracket, the president's proposed 2013 budget would limit the amount of itemized deductions to 28% of their income. It's a way to raise revenue without increasing the tax rate. According to the Tax Policy Center, ending all itemized deductions would raise around $2.2 trillion over 10 years. But it's also a way for more Americans, especially wealthy Americans, to not get a tax break for their charitable donations.
"It means that they may not actually get a deduction for their charitable donations, which will really alter how much they are going to contributed," said Stephen Bradford with Tax Masters Incorporated.
Let's say you live in Montgomery County, you're filing as an individual, and you make $250,000 a year. Under the White House proposal, your itemized deductions would now be limited to just $70,000. So if you're already deducting roughly $50,000 worth of mortgage interest and $20,000 for state income taxes, that's your $70,000 limit right there.
"So really the only thing that you can make a decision about in terms of how much you can contribute or how much you can take as a deduction are your charitable contributions," said Bradford.
Charitable organizations are understandably concerned that that decision might mean less charitable donations, especially in the greater Washington area.
"People make more money in this area so they're going to be affected by this limitation much more than people in the midwest where there adjusted gross income is going to be much lower," said Bradford.

The Poisonwood Bible (P.S.)by Barbara Kingsolver
Staff Pick
In The Poisonwood Bible, a Baptist missionary takes his family to the Belgian Congo in the late '50s, endangering the lives of his wife and four daughters. Alternating between the voices of the mother and daughters, Kingsolver successfully paints the emotional depth of their predicament and the insanity of the father and his deranged beliefs.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it — from garden seeds to Scripture — is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.
This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
"Powerful...Kingsolver is a gifted magician of words." Time
"Compelling, lyrical and utterly believable." Chicago Tribune
"Tragic, and remarkable....A novel that blends outlandish experience with Old Testament rhythms of prophecy and doom." USA Today
"A triple-decker, different coming-of-age novel, but also a clever look at language and cultures." San Diego Union-Tribune
About the Author
Barbara Kingsolver was born on April 8, 1955. She grew up "in the middle of an alfalfa field," in the part of eastern Kentucky that lies between the opulent horse farms and the impoverished coal fields. While her family has deep roots in the region, she never imagined staying there herself. "The options were limited--grow up to be a farmer or a farmer's wife."
Kingsolver has always been a storyteller: "I used to beg my mother to let me tell her a bedtime story." As a child, she wrote stories and essays and, beginning at the age of eight, kept a journal religiously. Still, it never occurred to Kingsolver that she could become a professional writer. Growing up in a rural place, where work centered mainly on survival, writing didn't seem to be a practical career choice. Besides, the writers she read, she once explained, "were mostly old, dead men. It was inconceivable that I might grow up to be one of those myself . . . "
Kingsolver left Kentucky to attend DePauw University in Indiana, where she majored in biology. She also took one creative writing course, and became active in the last anti-Vietnam War protests. After graduating in 1977, Kingsolver lived and worked in widely scattered places. In the early eighties, she pursued graduate studies in biology and ecology at the University of Arizona in Tucson, where she received a Masters of Science degree. She also enrolled in a writing class taught by author Francine Prose, whose work Kingsolver admires.
Kingsolver's fiction is rich with the language and imagery of her native Kentucky. But when she first left home, she says, "I lost my accent . . . [P]eople made terrible fun of me for the way I used to talk, so I gave it up slowly and became something else." During her years in school and two years spent living in Greece and France she supported herself in a variety of jobs: as an archaeologist, copy editor, X-ray technician, housecleaner, biological researcher and translator of medical documents. After graduate school, a position as a science writer for the University of Arizona soon led her into feature writing for journals and newspapers. Her numerous articles have appeared in a variety of publications, including The Nation, The New York Times, and Smithsonian, and many of them are included in the collection, High Tide in Tucson: Essays from Now or Never. In 1986 she won an Arizona Press Club award for outstanding feature writing, and in 1995, after the publication of High Tide in Tucson, Kingsolver was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from her alma mater, De Pauw University.
Kingsolver credits her careers in scientific writing and journalism with instilling in her a writer's discipline and broadening her "fictional possiblities." Describing herself as a shy person who would generally prefer to stay at home with her computer, she explains that "journalism forces me to meet and talk with people I would never run across otherwise."
From 1985 through 1987, Kingsolver was a freelance journalist by day, but she was writing fiction by night. Married to a chemist in 1985, she suffered from insomnia after becoming pregnant the following year. Instead of following her doctor's recommendation to scrub the bathroom tiles with a toothbrush, Kingsolver sat in a closet and began to write The Bean Trees, a novel about a young woman who leaves rural Kentucky (accent intact) and finds herself living in urban Tucson.
The Bean Trees, published by HarperCollins in 1988, and reissued in a special ten-year anniversary hardcover edition in 1998, was enthusiastically received by critics. But, perhaps more important to Kingsolver, the novel was read with delight and, even, passion by ordinary readers. "A novel can educate to some extent," she told Publishers Weekly. "But first, a novel has to entertain--that's the contract with the reader: you give me ten hours and I'll give you a reason to turn every page. I have a commitment to accessiblity. I believe in plot. I want an English professor to understand the symbolism while at the same time I want the people I grew up with--who may not often read anything but the Sears catalogue--to read my books."
For Kingsolver, writing is a form of political activism. When she was in her twenties she discovered Doris Lessing. "I read the Children of Violence novels and began to understand how a person could write about the problems of the world in a compelling and beautiful way. And it seemed to me that was the most important thing I could ever do, if I could ever do that."
The Bean Treeswas followed by the collection, Homeland and Other Stories(1989), the novels Animal Dreams(1990), and Pigs in Heaven(1993), and the bestselling High Tide in Tucson: Essays from Now and Never(1995). Kingsolver has also published a collection of poetry, Another America: Otra America(Seal Press, 1992, 1998), and a nonfiction book, Holding the Line: Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike of l983(ILR Press/Cornell University Press, 1989, 1996). The Poisonwood Bible, published in 1998, earned accolades at home and abroad, and was an Oprah's Book Club selection.
Barbara's Prodigal Summer, released in November of 2000, is a novel set in a rural farming community in southern Appalachia. Small Wonder, April 2002, presents twenty-three wonderfully articulate essays. Here Barbara raises her voice in praise of nature, family, literature, and the joys of everyday life while examining the genesis of war, violence, and poverty in our world.
Barbara Kingsolver presently lives outside of Tucson with her husband Steven Hopp, and her two daughters, Camille from a previous marriage, and Lily, who was born in 1996. When not writing or spending time with her family, Barbara gardens, cooks, hikes, and works as an environmental activist and human-rights advocate.
Given that Barbara Kingsolver's work covers the psychic and geographical territories that she knows firsthand, readers often assume that her work is autobiographical. "There are little things that people who know me might recognize in my novels," she acknowledges. "But my work is not about me. I don't ever write about real people. That would be stealing, first of all. And second of all, art is supposed to be better than that. If you want a slice of life, look out the window. An artist has to look out that window, isolate one or two suggestive things, and embroider them together with poetry and fabrication, to create a revelation. If we can't, as artists, improve on real life, we should put down our pencils and go bake bread."

CANTON - The portion of St. Lawrence County school-age students living below the federal poverty level ranges from a low of 16.27 percent in the Canton Central School District to a high of 35.92 percent at Hermon-DeKalb Central, according to a Buffalo-based business magazine.
Business First magazine used U.S. Census data from 2012 to rank 455 upstate public school districts and reported their findings by region in a story released earlier this month.
School districts in St. Lawrence, Jefferson and Lewis counties are categorized together in the Watertown region.
In Jefferson County, the poverty rate ranges from 10.26 percent in LaFargeville to a high of 37.52 percent in Belleville Henderson. In Lewis County, Beaver River had the lowest poverty rate at 12.93 percent while Copenhagen had the highest at 22.18 percent.
Upstates highest poverty rate belongs to Utica City School District at 43.86 percent, according to the report.
The data includes all children ages 5 to 17 living in a school district, including those not enrolled in public schools such as Amish children and those who are homeschooled.
Ann M. Adams, superintendent at Hermon-Dekalb Central School, said she wasnt surprised that her district had the highest poverty rate in St. Lawrence County.
We have about 60 percent of our students eligible for free and reduced lunch, Ms. Adams said. We face the challenges of finding enough money to fund basic education for our students.
In her district, a 1 percent increase in the school tax levy only generates $22,000 in revenue, she said.
Two Albany suburbs have Upstates lowest poverty rates, Niskayuna, 4.28 percent and Shenendehowa at 4.58 percent.
The poverty data illustrates the wide variation in community wealth that exists in New York state, said Richard G. Timbs, executive director of the New York State School Finance Consortium.
Although poverty is one of the factors included in the state aid formula, Mr. Timbs argues it should play a larger role because students in poorer communities typically need more support services than their wealthier counterparts. Low and average-wealth school districts have been hit hard in the past few years by cuts in state aid.
Poverty has to be accounted for in a different way, Mr. Timbs said. This data is another clue that shows the diversity in Upstate New York. There is quite a bit of diversity and there are pockets of real poverty.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Each year they call the Friday after Thanksgiving Black Friday. It has something to do with blacking prices out and repricing articles for sale in stores. People love this, but for me it's an odd term. The blackest Friday I ever knew was not about sales, but about death.
On Nov. 22, 1963 I was walking into the lunch room at Grant Elementary School in Murray. I was in sixth grade and life was good. That Friday was the Friday before Thanksgiving which was always a big event at our house as relatives would come by and delight in my mom's wonderful cooking.
As I walked past a group of my friends, one of them stopped me and said, "Rick, did you hear about the President getting shot?' he asked. I stood there and thought for a moment, still a little kid, but one approaching adulthood quickly.
I imagine John Kennedy out pheasant hunting and that he had been shot accidentally while doing that. Funny that should come to mind at the time and that I remember that first reaction, because my dad's farm was just a couple of blocks away on the other side of the road from the school and the last two weeks had seen many pheasant hunters out in our fields. That was all I really had to relate a shooting to. I couldn't imagine that someone would shoot the President on purpose.
But it was on purpose as we soon tragically learned. The only television the school was one of those 25 inch RCA black and white TVs that were on the high cart so they could move it from room to room for programs that came from the educational television station. It happened to be in Mrs. Lindsey's fourth grade classroom that day, so many of us crammed ourselves into that small space to watch what was going on.
While I have seen it replayed many times, I will never forget Walter Chronkite's face that day when he took off his glasses and said, "President Kennedy died at 1 p.m. Central Standard Time, some 38 minutes ago."
It was a complete shock. I saw teachers in the school break into tears, and fear filled the faces of all the adults in the building. They mumbled things about conspiracy and goverment stability. At that age I didn't understand what an assassination could do to a country.
School was dismissed early that day and when I got home my mother was white and my dad, uncharacteristically, was seated in the living room in front of the television in the middle of the afternoon with tears in his eyes.
A lifelong Republican, conservative, my dad didn't like John Kennedy, but this was different. No one, except for some crazy people, wanted this.
The state funeral was on the next Monday, but for the first time in the history of television, almost no other programming was on network television for the entire time. And it was all in glorious black and white, which made it even more macabre.
I remember the dull feeling I had in my stomach, like I had the flu the whole time. The television showed the caissons carrying the coffin, headed up by black horses. Then there was John-John, saluting his dad.
The next Thursday was Thanksgiving and despite the burial and the swearing in of a new President, life was unsettled. None of us said much at the dinner table that day.
No blacker Friday have I ever known.
Nor to I wish to know one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mgpm Safety purse Very happy to have this item to protect my cards and cell phone. I got the leopard instead of a leather one so I could easily find it in my purse. I was surprised and pleased to see it has a hook on it to connect it to my purse. September 2, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by MysticaR Portable and hopefully gets the job done can carry the needed stuff in it August 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by BritsMom Best wallet I've ever had I have several wallets, but none of them fit my needs or the capacity of my handbags. They're all too heavy and bulky. When I saw the ad for this one I checked out its size, weight and amenities and decided to take the plunge. I can't say how happy I am with this purchase! Not only is it RFID-protected; it's compact, weighs next to nothing and holds A LOT. I carry only a few credit cards, but because I'm bionic - bilateral hip replacements, one knee replacement, spinal surgery including rods and screws and a spinal cord stimulator implanted in my hip - I have to carry a number of medical cards at all times. This wallet holds them all compactly, and because of the interior configuration, I can separate them and know exactly where to find them. All of the colors are gorgeous, but I wanted a wallet for all seasons, so I chose pewter. I think I enjoy it more every time I use it! January 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GalOnTheRoad Saved me from a theft I have had this wallet for about 8 years, and it is still holding up. I travel each year in Europe for a month. In the Vienna subway, I had it leashed into my security fanny pack, which was on me, in front at my waist. Three men cornered me, one unzipped my fanny pack and grabbed my wallet. He was startled when it "pulled back". It slipped out of his hand and I was able to wiggle free and run. I love this wallet! March 31, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by ajsbjh small and not practical Barely fits an iphone 5 without a case, and only with some effort because of the seams inside the wallet. The place for rfid protection for credit cards is on the outside, without any way to secure the cards-it is just a slip in pocket on the outside of the wallet. Why have it be rfid when the cards are not really secured? December 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by COMom Great for travel! Perfect for travel or quick store trips. I carried ID, 6 cards, couple Kleenex, lip balm, bills and a cellphone on recent trip. It fit neatly into the side pocket of my backpack, and I could access things quicklyl and easily. The clip allowed me to attach it to the pocket so I knew it wouldn't fall out and be lost. Fits perfectly in my hand to carry, or you can clip to a belt loop. Going to order my mom one, as she envied mine. March 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by FLlady Great wallet I really love this wallet and I feel much more secure about the security of my credit cards now. I love also that there is room to carry my iPhone in this wallet. It would be nice if there was a detachable strap included so I could wear it across my body. May 3, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by pattyp why 3 stars I gave this product 3 stars because it's well made, however, your passport barely fits into the case and it turns down the corners. It's just a little too small for a passport! Next time they need to actually put a passport in, and zip it up December 16, 2012

Shore Acres, site of Asa Meade Simpson's home, is now a park and botanical garden for all to enjoy; located on Cape Arago beyond the lighthouse there is a three dollar day use fee, small price for great wonder. Don't miss the greenhouse, tucked in the trees behind the pavillion, or the oceanic overlook, the gulls will heap ridacule on you if you do. Even the gift shop holds treasure aplenty and salvation if your digital camera runs out of juice just as you walk through the gate. The batteries are in a bin by the cash register, I had to ask.

Please correct the information about Shore Acres. It was Louis J. Simpson's home. (Asa was his father, who visited there.) Louis built the home as a gift for his first wife, Cassie.

When you jump behind the wheel of your car, what is the one thing you've always got your eye on? If you said anything besides "the road", you answered incorrectly—but we're not going to conduct a driver safety survey here, so don't worry too much. As even the safest drivers will admit, your attention span is split between what's beyond the windshield glass and the cluster of telltale instruments that are literally at your fingertips. For the most part, "function" is the number one priority of your vehicle's gauges, as they are the communications control center, linking you to all the vital stats of your car's mechanical components. It wasn't up until recently, however, that there were a whole lot of individual choices to make when it came to "form"—you either had to deal with mechanical/six-volt relics (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) or go with a popular aftermarket instrument.
Thanks to technology, limitations are indeed a thing of the past. For those who need a way to think outside the box, rather than follow the rules of conformity, there's a way to have the best of both worlds (gauge-wise) thanks to Classic Instruments. Along with offering the widest selection of aftermarket gauges on the market, they have also set up an in-house program where customers can send their original gauges (or pretty much any vintage instruments) and Classic's Custom Team will retrofit them with all new electronic instrumentation. Though they claim restoration is not part of the process, they do re-face gauges, and can do so to replicate the stock appearance or customize the graphics to your liking. Regardless, the end result is always the same: precision-engineered instrumentation packaged in a personalized manner.
Next time you're out scouring the swap meet (outdoors or online) and happen to eyeball an oddball gauge cluster—consider giving it a new life and home in your Lowrider with a Classic Instruments retrofit. If you prefer to keep your car's stock gauges, but a traditional restoration won't do, follow along and see what Classic did with some dilapidated '47 Chevy Fleetline instruments for a little "restofication" inspiration.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Politicians are already girding themselves for the next budget battle.
"We're going to look back on this night and regret it," warned Rep. Jim Moran(D-VA), on theHouse floor before the vote on the fiscal cliff deal. "The problem is we've set up three more fiscal cliffs."
Months into the New Year, we may see partisan standoffs over the debt ceiling, the big across-the-board spending cuts called sequestration,and over the federal budget.
Rep. Eric Cantor, (R-VA), the Majority Leader, and every other Virginia Republican. voted against the deal in the House -- and the GOP is openly planning to leverage a debt ceiling vote in a few months to extract more spending cuts than they got in the fiscal cliff deal.
The President is refusing to bargain over the debt ceiling. "I will not have another debate with this Congress over whether it will pay the bills that they've already racked up."
And Maryland's Chris Van Hollen, the Democrats' Ranking Member on the Budget Committee expects the President will stand firm. "We should not be playing any political games over the debt ceiling, that is the economic equivalent of nuclear war. It would make this whole idea of going over the fiscal cliff look like a cakewalk."
But many Republicans think it's the next best chance to control the cost of Medicare and Social Security.

I heard from a very good source today that REI is seriously considering reworking their return policies and getting rid of their lifetime satisfaction warranty.has anyone else heard anything about this, and if so, what do you think?
I'm thinking that I will no longer have an incentive to shop at their store.
Having been to my first REI garage sale recently, and being shocked at appalled at the state of people's returns, I can say I wouldn't be surprised. Here I am doing my best to use something maybe once or twice before deciding on whether or not to return it, and feeling like I'm some sort of mooch in the process. Meanwhile I saw more totally abused and destroyed stuff than I can shake a stick at, often a couple years old. Moreover, I've heard tales from several employees of people openly talking about how they take advantage of the system; the best/worst being a woman who openly said "this is great, I'll bring my kids' clothes back as they outgrow them, and get them new stuff!"If they wanted to shorten the policy to something more like, a couple months, or even a month, I'd be pleased enough to continue buying my stuff there honestly. If they decided to get rid of the ability to return it even gently used I would stop buying my stuff there however, because ultimately it's the biggest draw to using REI over online sites where the prices might well be much cheaper.
Probably a sound economic decision that will benefit their members. I'd support it, but I've only been a member since 1973. I keep hearing it's a new world, so they probably need to come out with a new policy to match.
has anyone else heard anything about this, and if so, what do you think?I haven't heard this, but it's disappointing. I don't care much about the annual dividend, not as much as the return policy. Maybe they should just strengthen up against abusers of the system. Anyways, Backcountry.com now offers lifetime replacement, without the need to buy a membership. AND they often times offer better and/or more brands.
I think it may be necessary, because people abuse REI's policy. The amount of gear I see that gets returned after being completely worn out is appalling. IMO, if you got a reasonable life out of the product, you've got no business returning it. It's also not right to use REI as a "rental" and buy the gear, use it, and return it after the trip. That's taking advantage. I've returned one item ever to REI in the 14 years I've been shopping there, and that was a legitimately defective coat that the zipper broke on right after I bought it.
I've heard of several people who've bought really high-end strollers ($400+) and then returned them as soon as their kids aren't toddlers anymore. With stuff like that happening I can't really fault them for wanting to change the policy but it might lead me to making more purchases from Backcountry.
Edited by dsmith87 on 11/13/2012 21:39:03 MST.
I'm sure it's something that they've been thinking about for a while. It's hard to have a change like that without loosing a lot of business though. Many other businesses have similar exchange policies some even more lenient(bed bath and beyond, nordstroms, Eastern Mountain Sports). Of course some people will take advantage of the policy, but what you loose with the minority abusing the policy you gain 10 fold by having customers who feel confident in what the policy offers them. There are plenty of on-line retailers that have good return policies, free returns on clothes that don't fit, etc. I don't buy much from REI anymore seeing as they don't have a big selection of ultralight gear anyway. -Loki
I think their return policy is crazyI could buy a pair of boots, wear them out with normal use, and then return it and get new pair - foreverI bet many people take unreasonable advantageSome time period like a few months or a year, or if the equipment is defective in their judgement would be reasonable
I just hope that they find a way to change their return policies while still being able to have those awesome garage sales every once-in-a-while. It would be nice if they could do some sort of "common sense" policy, where if the item was purchased a long time ago and is beat up, an employee can just say "no, you can't return it" and that's that.However, that's just bound to create a bunch of complainers who will of course want to talk to their manager who will, in order to make the customer happy, say "ehh, I don't think it's toooo bad" and let him/her return it. The complainers are always louder than the content or happy.Maybe if they had a bouncer that would just come out and punch people in the face if they tried to pull that crap...heh.
It is true that it would negate the incentive I have to buy from them. However I think a 90 day "no questions asked" policy would be just as effective. 3 months is plenty of time to try out your gear. If returns must be unused then they will more than likely lose my business because their prices aren't anything special .
Their current policy is ridiculous. The only ones that will likely be impacted are those abusing it.
only a small percentage likely abuse the policy.If they changed it they will need to change their pricing structure to discount pricing.You buy from REI for peace of mind. Period.
Personally, I don't need a "lifetime, no questions asked" return policy to have peace of mind about gear purchases.For me, being able to return items after using it because of performance issues is a huge benefit but I'd be fine with a reasonable time limit.Beyond the time limit, for durability issues, I say prorate the return. I think those "I expect boots to last 10 years and this one only lasted 9..." returns are ridiculous.
I attended a garage sale just a few weeks ago and the overwhelming numbers of bike racks and strollers was very interesting. Most appeared to have been used very little, say one vacation.I made my first REI purchase in 1973 and have returned 3 items that I used. A pair of boots that I just couldn't get to work after two week long trips and a couple of sleeping pads that leaked slow enough that I couldn't find them.I shop at REI because of the return policy even if I don't use it much. I do my homework up front before purchasing but like the peace mind that comes with the return policy. Without it they are just another retailer and I can get more than 10% off elsewhere.If it goes away this will be another instance where a few have ruined it for the many.
Besides this thread, is there any other confirmation of this policy change?A big part of REIs success is the exchange policy. A change in policy would be a a very big change to say the least.
If there are abusers, that would drive up the cost for othersA properly communicated change in policy that still allowed reasonable returns could be perceived as a good thingI've returned a few things - Steripen (which quit working after 6 months), Thermarest mattress that delaminated after a year - I feel a little bit like an abuser
I agree with most people here, but I think they should have a common sense policy. They should shorten the return policy to 1 year.That should give people more than enough time to try something out. I too recently went to a garage sale and I was disgusted at some the the old old worn out stuff I saw. I saw shoes that were completley worn out, ancient sleeping bags that were shredded etc. People that return stuff like that have no morals. I'm sure the clerk that processed some of these returns had a feeling of anger inside. Having a "Forever return policy" is just asking for trouble, there is no excuse should a normal person decide that 5-10-15-40 years down the road that they want to return a piece of gear.
If REI changes their return policy/guarantee, they will do it strictly for business reasons, something like:Current policy costs $X per year whichBrings in $Y per year of additional business,On which we make $Z per year.Is $Z still larger than $X?How would a change in policy change all these variables?Perceived "abuse" is relevant only to the bottom line.If REI goes to (say) a one year guarantee, they could start selling gear from cottage industries, which can't or won't make gear guaranteed forever. Which might be a good thing.
Firstly, I'll keep shopping at REi because their products, proces, and service are good.. especialy with the 5% bonus for having an REI Visa card and the 10% dividend. The only reason I can see why anybody would get thier knickers all twisted up over this, is if they were disappointed that they weren't going to be able to abuse REI's good-faith policies any more.Secondly, it seems clear that if this is true, REI's bean-counters must have done their due diligence and concluded that his is anecessary, or at least financially desirable step. If this move is going to either drive prices down or profits up by getting rid of all those people who are returning worn-out boots, used-for-a-season bike racks, and outgrown kids' clothes, then I'm all for it!

MASSENA Economic development officials hope to see communitywide involvement in their efforts to revitalize downtown.
The Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena has set two public meetings on using $250,000 in grant funds, awarded by the New York State Main Street Grant Program, to improve the villages downtown corridor.
BDC Executive Director Michael V. Almasian urged any downtown business owners interested in applying for grant funding to revitalize their building to attend the meetings at 7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday in the Town Hall.
The first meeting will be more of an information session to inform the community on the scope and goals of the revitalization effort. Mr. Almasian said the meeting will include presentations by consultant Rick Hauser of InSite: Architecture, which will touch on the boundaries of downtown as defined by the grant and the BDCs vision for an organized downtown that preserves many of Massenas historic structures. BDC officials also will distribute informational materials for those interested in using grant money.
Mr. Almasian said anyone involved in using grant funding should be at the meeting, but he would also like any community members interested in improving downtown to attend.
The second meeting will focus primarily on forming the various committees required to identify how to use the funding. These committees are open to anyone in the community and will include a parking committee, a historic preservation committee, a code revision committee and a downtown theatre committee.
Mr. Almasian said the members of these committees will form a permanent group called the Massena Downtown Coalition. After the grant funds are used, the coalition will continue to meet regularly to determine additional steps to revitalize downtown and to apply for future grants to pay for the work.
The revitalization grant will target businesses on or near Main Street, between the Massena Post Office and the North Main Street bridge the area the grant identified as downtown Massena.
The program requires all owners to match the funds the grant provides them. If all $250,000 of the funds were used, the Main Street grant would create a minimum of $500,000 in public-private investment. But downtown business owners have pledged an additional $1,923,500 on top of the $250,000 grant, totaling $2,173,5000 in pledged investments, according to Massenas former economic development specialist, Jason A. Clark.
Mr. Almasian said he expects most of the work related to the grant funding will take place in late summer or early autumn.

Cheer LaMike & Tukuafu, or Ed & Haloti? What's a Duck to do?
EUGENE, Ore. - What is a Duck to do?
With former Ducks lining up on both sides of the ball Sunday at the Super Bowl, fans can make a case to root on the Ravens or stake a claim to the 49ers.
On San Francisco's side, the storyline is hard to resist.
LaMichael James burst onto the national stage setting school rushing records under Coach Chip Kelly at the University of Oregon.
In LaMike's first season since turning pro, the speedy back has shown he has Frank Gore's back.
Sports fans love a good story, and what Duck could resist seeing a hero win a piece of the biggest football game there is?
With former Duck Will Tukuafu lining up in the defensive backfield for San Francisco, Ravens tight end Ed Dickson will face a fellow Duck between him and the end zone.
But so will LaMike: Haloti Ngata hunted the line of scrimmage for the Ducks, earning Pac-10 honors and a pro career with the Ravens.
Dennis Dixon won't see action Sunday. However, the talk asks: with Kelly, the college coach who maximized Dixon as a college QB, now a pro NFL coach in Philly, will the two Ducks reunite at a workout some day soon in the City of Brotherly Love?
One thing is for certain: at least a couple Ducks are going to win Super Bowl rings on Sunday.
Who are you rooting for? Watch the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 3, on CBS

title: Alice's Adventures In Wonderland
title: Torchwood: First Born
author: James Goss
format: EPUB
language: english
Random House UK Ltd
Gwen and Rhys are on the run. Rhys was hoping this meant a windswept cottage on a cliff top, but he's had to settle for a miserable caravan in the isolated village of Rawbone. With the locals taking an unhealthy interest in their daughter, Gwen and Rhys start to realise that something is very wrong.
As they uncover the village's terrible past, Gwen discovers that Torchwood will never leave her behind, and now she and Rhys stand alone in defence of the Earth. And the children of Rawbone can only bring her closer to the secret forces that want her out of the way.
Based on the hit series created by Russell T Davies, First Born is a prequel to Torchwood: Miracle Day, starring John Barrowman and Eve Myles as Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper, with Kai Owen as Rhys Williams.

WELLS, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - It's been snowing all day in much of Maine and the Blizzard of 2013 is only beginning. First tonight we go to the coast -- where the storm is supposed to hit hardest and flooding is a possibility.
In York County, the snow has been falling steadily all day Friday. At Wells beach, it's windy and it's cold. Low tide was just before 3:30pm Friday... so flooding hasn't become an issue yet.
All that is going to change through the night as the storm ramps up -- and so does the tide. High tide will be at 9:54 Saturday morning -- but it's close enough to the height of the storm that people are bracing for it.
While Sandy didn't do a ton of damage around the state, it did cause some flooding here at Wells Beach, and that memory is fresh. York county emergency management is watching and waiting for now. They're urging everyone to stay home tonight because conditions are not going to be good.

Every Wednesday we'll take a look at the status of the
Rangers' AHL affiliate. Top prospects Ryan Bourque and Carl Hagelin will be
key players for the Whale this season - we'll check on how they're doing and
how the team performs as the season progresses.
- Sean Avery reported to the Connecticut Whale yesterday but won't be practicing anytime soon. Avery
has been receiving treatment for a right shoulder injury and underwent
an MRI on September 30th. The shoulder
doesn't have any structural damage and Avery was able to play through it during
camp, but it's an ongoing issue that could prevent him from playing for the
Whale for quite some time.
- With the addition of Avery, the Whale released defenseman T.J. Fast from a
pro tryout.
- After adding veteran defenseman Jeff Woywitka last week the
New York Rangers assigned Brendan Bell to the CT Whale. Both Bell and Stu Bickel stayed with the
Blueshirts until the very end of camp, but New York chose to recall Tim Erixon
and claimed Woywitka off waivers rather than risk having to put Bell or Bickel
into NHL game action.
- The CT Whale fell to the Adirondack Phantoms 6-3 on Saturday
night in the team's
season-opener. Kris Newbury scored
all three goals for Connecticut, but his hat trick wasn't enough to beat the
Philadelphia Flyers' minor league affiliate. Newbury led the team with 61 points in 69 games last year. Cam Talbot stopped 18 of 23 shots in his
first start of the season and Wade Redden was a minus-four.
- Connecticut bounced back on Sunday with a 1-0 shootout win
over the Wilkes-Barre-Scranton Penguins. Chad Johnson started in net for the Whale and
recorded 41
saves en route to a shutout. The
Whale was outshot
41-24, but John Mitchell, Kris Newbury and Jonathan Audy-Marchessault all scored in
the shootout to give Connecticut its first win of the season.
- The Whale used these line combinations over the
Carl Hagelin/Kris Newbury/Jonathan Audy-Marchessault
Ryan Bourque/John Mitchell/Andreas Thuresson
Tommy Grant/Kelsey Tessier/Scott Tanski
Chris McKelvie/Jordan Owens/Andre Deveaux
Wade Redden – Jared Nightingale
Jyri Niemi – Tomas Kundratek
Stu Bickel – Blake Parlett
- The Whale has another back-to-back this weekend. The team will first visit the Albany Devils
on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and then will host the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in the
team's home-opener on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. After that, Connecticut is off again until Friday, October 21.

|LeGree on Nagurski watch list
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Monday, 21 June 2010 13:55
For the second year in a row, defensive back Mark LeGree of the Appalachian State University football team is making people stand up and take notice.
LeGree, a two-time All-America, is one of 74 players---and the only one at the FCS (Football Championship Series) level---on the Bronko Nagurski watch list for 2010. The Nagurski Trophy goes to the best defensive player in the nation at the Division I level. LeGree was the only FCS player on this list last fall.

The Baltimore Orioles and Fleeting Bullpen Greatness
by Jack Moore - February 14, 2013
Over-Under Day — the day the first sportsbooks release their win-loss over-under totals for all 30 MLB teams — is one of my favorite days of the lead-in to baseball season. I'm not much of a gambler — I stick to risking my money on fantasy sports, personally — but Las Vegas is as good a projection system as we have, and although the numbers here will likely be revised between now and Opening Day, they provide as good a barometer for current team strength as you'll find anywhere.
The Orioles, unsurprisingly, have the biggest drop-off from last year's win total to this year's over-under — 93 wins in 2012 to just a 76.5 over-under for 2013. Should Baltimore perform to Vegas's projection, it will be just another example of the fleeting greatness of particularly clutch units, like the Orioles' 2012 bullpen.
The idea of fleeting greatness is nothing new, of course. For example, only three of last season's eight playoff squads from 2011 reached the postseason in 2012 despite the expanded format. Specifically, though, Baltimore's greatness came on the back of a great — and particularly great in the clutch — bullpen. This greatness has, in the past, been the toughest to cling to. Baltimore's plus-13.86 WPA in 2012 was the highest mark a bullpen has posted since 1974 (the extent of our data); its plus-7.19 clutch score was the highest recorded as well.
