NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Joshua Ehrenberg was lying on the sidewalk, across the street from the $26 million apartment of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein, when I roused him from his orange sleeping bag.
He is not just against Wall Street. He is against money.
"I spent the past year trying to not use any money at all," he said. "Dumpster-dive, hitchhike, train-hop."
It was a chilly Friday morning in Hurricane Sandy's wake. Somehow, Mayor Michael Bloomberg had yet to cancel the New York City Marathon, so neon Spandex flashed along sidewalks. Runners from around the world were warming up for a race that just would not be run.
Ehrenberg, 21 years old, said he was concerned about what he called the "digitalization of value."
"Because we spend so much time with money, we start to really love countable things," he explained. "We start trying to count everything ... just to get to a number. And then we start making all these human decisions based on a number."
Class warfare, I've often observed, really comes down to the people who know how to count money versus the people who were, say, liberal arts majors.
What does election mean for Wall Street?

"Money and things being countable is almost the opposite of things being human," Ehrenberg continued. "It's part of this religion of consumerism and this religion of money. We need to stop worshiping money."
As I chatted with Ehrenberg, a New York City police officer approached me, of all people, and ordered me to get "my buddies" off the sidewalk. It was time to hose it down, he said. In other parts of New York, authorities were still fishing bodies out of the water, but here, on the Upper West Side, the NYPD was making sure the sidewalks were properly rinsed.
Police officers, I noticed, vastly outnumbered the handful of camped-out protesters. When Mayor Bloomberg boasted of running the world's seventh-largest military, he was not joking.
"I've been arrested nine times" for protest-related offenses, Ehrenberg said.
Ehrenberg grew up in Rochester, N.Y., where his parents are both doctors. He said he studied for a year at Junita College in Huntingdon, Pa. Then, last fall, he moved into Zuccotti Park as Occupy Wall Street turned it into a tent city.
When Mayor Bloomberg finally shut it down last year, one of the reasons he cited was a "mentally ill man who was menacing others." That would have been Ehrenberg. According to varying media reports, he got into a fight with his girlfriend, which somehow escalated into an emergency medical technician being injured, and then he was charged with "felony assault."
Ehrenberg said these reports were largely false or exaggerated, beginning with the part about him having a girlfriend.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) --- Latino and Resource Justice Center or CARECEN is a community-based, non-profit organization that assists immigrants from Latin Americathrough the citizenship process.
The United States welcomes 3,000 new citizens daily, according to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
"CARECEN has the people that teach you everything so that we understand," said Maria Gomez, 51. Gomez came to the United States in 1990 to escape the Civil War in her native country of El Salvador.
Gomez became a citizen in August, 2012. She looks forward to taking part in the democratic process. Gomez says being a permanent resident was not enough.
"I want to vote this year...When I vote I have a voice," said Gomez as she shows her citizenship certificate and U.S. passport.
CARECEN offers a 10-week citizenship course that covers U.S. history and government to prepare immigrants for the citizenship exam and interview.
"Ninety percent who participate in the classes...pass the test," said Ana Negoescu, Director of Education and Advocacy.
CARECEN charges $50 for class registration and $25 for books.
The citizenship application costs $680, according to the Dept. of Homeland Security.
"It's a difficult amount to save especially in today's economy...Many people have postponed because of that," Negoescu said.
CARECEN provides scholarships for those unable to afford these costs.
MariaNuñez received a scholarship. She took English classes and the citizenship exam preparation classes.In September, 2012, shepassed the naturalization exam.The owner of a Latino restaurant immigrated to the United States in 1990 from Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
"When I first came to this country, I said one day, I will be a [citizen] of this country, because this is the best country in the world," said Nuñez.
NOTE: Gannett Foundation have given a donation to CARECEN.

Read: Who Is Taylor Pyatt
Last night the Ranger signed 6-4 winger Taylor Pyatt to a two-year deal worth $3.1 million.
Pyatt, 30, broke into the league with the Islanders, was traded to the Sabres for Michael Peca, and then spent time with Vancouver before playing the last three years in Phoenix.
While he didn't kill penalties last season, Pyatt has averaged between 45 seconds to close to two minutes a game killing penalties during a season in his career
He had 137 hits last season and averaged about 12 minutes a night.
Pyatt was drafted by Rangers Director of Player Personnel Gordie Clark in 1999 when he held the same title with the Islanders.
The Rangers drafted his brother Tom but traded him, along with Scott Gomez, to acquire Chris Higgins and Ryan McDonagh.
He was teammates with Marty Biron in Buffalo.
Video of Pyatt
Pyatt lost his girlfriend of 11 years in a car accident in Jamaica three years ago.

Bread Crumbs are probably one of my favorite things to make because they are so easy and you always have the ingredients on hand. I have to be careful of the MSG that is in most bread crumbs, so making them myself is much safer and cheaper! Depending on what you are using them for, or what you are putting them on, will determine what type of spices you can or want to put in.
Take your toasted bread and cut it into 1 inch pieces. Put bread into a food processor with a pinch of the spices that you would like to use, and pulse the processor until you have crumbs the size that you would like them. You can leave them a little larger if you want a more rustic look, or more fine for a more even breading.

A previous version of this article gave the incorrect day for Apple's earnings report. It was late Wednesday.
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose for a fifth day Thursday, helped by a round of economic data including jobless claims, while Apple Inc.'s worst day in four years sank the Nasdaq Composite.
The S&P 500 SPX, -0.68% which like the Nasdaq counts Apple AAPL, +0.17% as its biggest component, squeaked out a 0.01 gain, its seventh straight advance.
The Dow average DJIA, -0.29% climbed 46 points, or 0.3%, to 13,825.33. Boeing Co. BA, -0.28% , up 1.4%, contributed the most to the blue-chip index's rise, while Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO, -0.39% led percent gains.
About 678 million shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange traded hands. NYSE composite volume topped 3.6 billion.
"We are seeing better flows from individual investors into equity mutual funds," said David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds, pointing to data from the Investment Company Institute showing that nearly $13 billion went into domestic equity funds in the two weeks ending Jan. 16. Read more about the ICI data on mutual-fund flows.
"There are many investors at this stage who want to be better positioned in equities, because if you look at the risks the equity market faces — particularly the fiscal risk — have diminished," he added.
In the morning, the S&P 500 Index SPX, -0.68% briefly topped the 1,500 level for the first time since December 2007, hitting an intraday high of 1,502.27, before erasing most of its gains. Read about the S&P 500 hitting 1,500.
"There's nothing specific that happened [to hold the market]," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC in New York. "Since the European close or so around 11:30 a.m., there's just been a steady drift lower in virtually every sector. It's been a real nice couple of days here. The S&P 500 is up a lot for the month."
The benchmark has gained 4.8% this month.
Retail, fronted by a 42% surge in Netflix Inc. NFLX, -3.28% shares -- the stock's biggest gain ever -- led gains for the S&P 500. Tech stocks were the worst among 10 industry groups, ending down 2%, led by Apple after the widely held company's sales forecasts signaled its rapid growth days were nearing an end. Read more on Netflix and
Some confidence that U.S. lawmakers would resolve a tangle of budget issues facing the nation has helped the benchmark indexes bump closer to record highs touched five years ago, before the credit crisis and deep recession.
On Wednesday the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to extend the U.S. debt ceiling until May, giving more time to the White House and Congress to agree on a deal to reduce the deficit.
"Once you reduce risks in this environment, the relative valuation of equities versus fixed income and cash is so compelling," noted Kelly.

An Evidentialist Challenge, Restated
I did so here:
As for the laws of logic, what if they are only seemingly universal, but are truly not so? In the atheistic worldview there are objects in the universe. The relationships between those objects, however, are "not" in the universe. Steven Pinker's work (expanding on Chomsky's) has shown that the brain has different grammatical "sections" inside it. One section holds information about nouns, another verbs, another conjunctions.
If the laws of logic were simply the result of the way that the human brain has formed, this explains why they would certainly "seem" universal. Inasmuch as human brains are similar (and they are very much so), then the laws of logic would seem universal to everyone with a similarly functioning brain. We could not fathom a possible world in which those laws would not apply because we cannot imagine the world differently than our brains allow us to. We would read our thoughts about the relationships of objects into every world that we imagined. The laws of logic would seem to us universal even if they were not.
But this theory does more than just explain why laws of logic can seem universal. It also has powerful explanatory power in cases of so-called "madness." If the laws of logic are simply mental constructs about the relationships of objects, then this would explain why people with brain damage and "malfunctioning" brains are so consistently "illogical." These people constantly deny the laws of logic. They see the world very differently than the rest of us. If the brain is responsible for constructing relationships between objects, then, it would come as no surprise when people with damaged or "malfunctioning" brains did not construct these same relationships.
Imagine, for example, a world filled with people with a similar brain damage. The laws of logic would look very different in this world.
Also, this theory has powerful explanatory powers when it comes to the Saphir-Whorf hypothesis. This hypothesis suggests that language is responsible for shaping worldviews. In countries with dramatically different languages, what is considered "logical" is very different. We have Eastern and Western logics that are extremely dissimilar. While the condition of the human brain would explain the similarities between different cultures, the languages of those cultures would explain these logical differences.
My point, here, is to demonstrate that while universal laws of logic may, in fact, be unjustifiable in an atheistic worldview (though many atheists have good reason to deny this), seemingly universal laws of logic are easily justifiable by the theory I explained above.
I was asked to justify moral judgments in a godless universe.
I did so here:
But are all relative judgments invalid?
Consider motion. Imagine sitting next to me in a bar when I suddenly begin screaming, "My Guinness is moving! Sweet Lola, save me, my Guinness is moving!" You look at my glass, however, and say, "Man, atheism is really rat poison to the intellect! Your Guinness isn't moving; it's perfectly still."
Is it both possible that my Guinness is moving and that my Guinness is not moving? Of course it is!
I could respond to your skepticism, "Isn't this continent drifting, the earth rotating and revolving, our solar system spinning in a pinwheel galaxy, and our galaxy speeding away from others in the universe? How can you say my Guinness isn't moving?!"
At the same time, you could have said, "Look EB, there is a spot on the bar next to your glass and we can tell by this ruler that your glass is neither moving towards that spot nor away from it. Your glass is stationary."
Both contradictory statements are correct, but are relative to specific spatio-temporal frameworks. From certain spatio-temporal frameworks, my Guinness is stationary; from others, it is moving. The "fact" of the motion of my Guinness is relative to the spatio-temporal framework that is adopted. There is no one, "true" spatio-temporal framework that truly determines whether something is "really" moving or not, there are only different frameworks from which to judge.
But though my Guinness' motion is relative, it is still "objective." You would certainly admit the validity of my statement that my Guinness is moving from any of the other spatio-temporal frameworks that I mentioned as justification. I would certainly admit the validity of your statement from the spatio-temporal framework that you mention. Both statements are correct, but are so relative to specific spatio-temporal frameworks.
Now, what if the same could be said of moral judgments? What if I could say objectively that it is morally wrong of P to D (I'm stealing all of this from Princeton's Gilbert Harman if you are wondering), but had to qualify my statement that it was morally wrong according to a specific moral framework? My judgment would be objective, but not universal.
If morality is not universal, though, must I accept everyone's moral judgments as equally valid? Of course not. For one thing, it is certainly possible that someone makes a moral judgment that does not fit the moral framework they use to justify it [Just like it would be possible for someone to say that something is stationary from a framework in which that judgment is inconsistent].
Secondly, acknowledging that a belief may be justified by reference to another moral framework does not mean that I have to abandon my own moral framework. For example, I believe that it is morally wrong to rape someone. If I were to happen upon a man trying to rape a woman, my moral framework demands that I do whatever action is permissible according to that framework to prevent that action from taking place. I may acknowledge that the action is permissible according to the rapist's moral framework, but that does not mean that I must ignore what is demanded by my own moral framework.
Moral relativism, then, does not necessarily lead to moral nihilism.
Anyone familiar with Foucault's work on power structures will know that, if he is correct, social ideas and morality are shaped by power. There is nothing called "madness" out in the world. One cannot catch "madness" in a bucket and paint it pink. It is an idea that must be defined. Originally, the church and the family were the primary power structures that made this definition. The church needed a way to distinguish between God's directions to his people through the Holy Spirit and the babblings of a madman. People that had certain heretical "visions" and "promptings" from God were considered "mad." Now, it is the physicians who define these kind of terms. Whatever the age, though, power is the driver behind these definitions.
In the case of morality, then, power will be the stabilizing (or destabilizing) force behind societal morality. Obviously, that does not mean that one must accept society's morality (both the Christians here and myself reject our current society's morality, but for drastically different reasons). For example, though most of current, American society opposes same-sex marriage, I adamantly support it. I do not have to accept the majority opinion even if I acknowledge that that opinion is justified by reference to a certain moral framework. I can exert my power (however limited it is) to try to change societal opinion. I can also point out that denying homosexual couples marriage is inconsistent with other, primary societal values like equal treatment under the law.
Just like one can make objective statements about motion even though the statements are relative to spatio-temporal frameworks, so I can make objective statements about morality that are relative to specific moral frameworks. So, contrary to Bahnsen's argument, I can be outraged by the Holocaust and not have a universal morality to do so. Does someone else have to agree with my outrage? Certainly not, but I will exert every power available to me via my moral framework (which excludes violence) to make others see things my way. Morality, like every idea (according to Foucault) is a power struggle.
I have, also, expressed my willingness to be convinced of the truth of Christianity in such a way that circumvents the Christian charge that the unregenerate will not accept proof of god's existence because they do want to "continue in their sin."
I wrote:
But don't read this to mean that I refuse to be convinced of the "truth" of Christianity. If it can be proven that Christianity is true, I'll shout it from the roof tops.
My sermon title, however, would be, "There is a Real Son of a Bitch in Charge of This Universe; Run for Your Lives!"
In other words, I am saying that I don't need to not believe in a god to "continue in my sin." I would rebel against most notions of a god even if I believed that god existed. My "rebellion," then, need not stop me from accepting rational arguments.
So, I believe that I have said enough. It's time for the Christians to speak up. It's time for all of you to express some positive reason for me to believe in your god.
I've done what you asked of me. You have offered no challenge to my theories of logic and morality.
Now, return the favor. Give me your arguments for why your god exists.

- How to Read a Study Record
In this study, village women in India, living with HIV (WLH), along with researchers from the US, HIV and TB experts from the Indian Council for Medical Research and the AII India Institute of Medical Sciences will plan an intervention designed to support women who are receiving treatment and care for HIV and TB, and to help promote their adjustment to illness and improve their health as it relates to their coping and behavioral responses and physical health outcomes. This intervention, delivered by specially trained village women (ASHAs), will then be tested with WLH to assess how acceptable and effective the intervention might be compared to WLH who receive usual care. The women will be recruited from four villages which have high rates of HIV/AIDS in rural Andhra Pradesh (AP), India, where ASHAs are providing general health services. Two of the four selected villages will have ASHAs trained in the intervention strategies. The remaining two will be usual care. The investigators anticipate this three-year study will lead to a culturally tailored intervention that will be tested in a larger study.

Detailed Description:
In India, an estimated 5.7 million people are infected with HIV; of whom 2.5 million are women. While access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is expanding for people living with AIDS, most of the treatment centers are located in urban areas. However, nearly half of the HIV infected population live in rural areas plagued with poor public health infrastructure. In India, rural women are the hardest hit by HIV/AIDS; they bear the brunt of stigma, have little autonomy or decision-making power, are illiterate, rarely employed, and lack basic knowledge of HIV transmission. These women living with HIV (WLH) face profound challenges in accessing and following treatment regimens, caring for family members, and maintaining positive mental health. Complicating the HIV/AIDS scenario is Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (TB). It is estimated that there are over 2 million cases of HIV/TB co-infection in India; over 60% of persons with AIDS have developed TB. To address the health needs of the rural population, the Government of India has promoted the ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist); a health advocate who resides in rural communities and promotes the health of women and children in the areas of hygiene and nutrition. However, the expansion of the ASHAs' role to address the needs of a marginalized community of WLH is an innovative strategy that is timely and of societal relevance. A research team that possesses extensive experience in community-based qualitative and longitudinal HIV prevention and behavioral change research in the US and in India are well poised to design and pilot test a novel intervention for rural WLH to improve adherence behavior and enhance their mental health and social well-being. Along with US researchers, key HIV and TB researchers from the Indian Council for Medical Research and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences plan a descriptive Phase I followed by an exploratory randomized clinical trial pilot study in Phase II, to assess the acceptability and effectiveness of an intervention program, delivered by ASHAs, and focused on enhancing TB and/or HIV treatment and care, and promoting psychological adjustment to illness, and HIV-related social, cognitive, behavioral, psychological and treatment outcomes of WLH. Participants will be recruited from four high prevalent HIV/AIDS villages in rural Andhra Pradesh (AP), India, where ASHAs are providing general health services. Two of the four randomly selected villages will have ASHAs trained in the intervention strategies. The remaining two will be usual care. The planned program will be designed, in significant part, by our community partners composed of WLH, ASHAs, and health care experts. We anticipate this three-year study will lead to a culturally tailored intervention that will lead to a larger clinical trial.

At the end of day, high school sports are not based on which teams are successful and which ones aren't. Their very existence is predicated on providing teenagers with a level playing field rooted in fair competition.
If winning a championship happens to accompany what should be an enriching experience, that's pure gravy. If not, the question that needs asking is whether the experience provided was rewarding from a "fair fight" standpoint.
Expounding further, what happens when programs are placed in divisions that are well beyond their capabilities in terms of having a chance to hold their heads above water? If that's the case – and there are several area-related examples, as we'll touch upon shortly – then perhaps it's time to come up with a realignment strategy that doesn't place teams behind the proverbial eight ball.
As it stands, the RIIL's Realignment Committee is scheduled to convene at some point this month. No doubt one of the major topics under discussion figures to be a systematic approach that is part-empirical, part-common sense. Since the league recently rubber stamped two-year realignments that will take all fall, winter and spring sports through the 2013-14 academic year, there's no immediate rush to push something through.
Certainly the Realignment Committee will have no shortage of circumstantial evidence to hold up to the light. At Woonsocket and Tolman, each high school can step forward and firmly present a case that demonstrates why several of their sports programs should not take on opponents in divisions where the ability to compete is hindered.
For starters, let's examine the Tolman softball team, which beginning next spring will be part of a 17-team Division I arrangement. The fact that the Tigers are moving up after only six seasons of playing fast-pitch softball has resulted in athletic director John Scanlon requesting a hearing.
One of the guidelines used in realignment is eight seasons' worth of win-loss data specifically from the regular season. That means that one would begin with the 2004 season and move forward; Tolman joined the fast-pitch ranks in 2006.
According to Scanlon, the 70/30 realignment derivative in which 30 percent accounts for a school's male or female enrollment while 70 percent is reserved for winning percentage over an eight-year span, was used when deciding how to proceed with Tolman. Yet if a program has not been in existence for less than the subjected window of time, did that mean that the Softball Committee used seasons when Tolman was strictly a slow-pitch member?
At Woonsocket, five programs – boys' soccer, wrestling, softball, baseball and field hockey – received bumps up to Division I during the latest realignment. The crux behind this seismic shift in competition stems from the school's population.
According to publicschoolreview.com, Woonsocket served 1,750 students in grades 9-12 during the 2011-12 school year. Of the entire student body, only a fraction plays sports with probably even less playing multiple sports.
What happens is that because of Woonsocket High's enrollment, all of the sports programs automatically gets thrust to the front of the pack in terms of the 30-percent figures used in realignment. If that same team even has moderate success on the field or the hardwood, then chances are they will be subjected to divisional reclassification.
"The rankings put us in Division I and we do our best to survive, but the problem is that we sacrifice kids," noted Woonsocket athletic director George Nasuti. "I want to compete in Division I in all sports, but I don't want to sacrifice anyone down the road."
Now that some examples have been placed on the table, it's time to present some solutions. While having a two-year realignment cycle, the onus falls on each individual sports committee to take a long, hard look at whether some teams actually belong in certain divisions after running the numbers through the computer.
Granted the makeup and dichotomy of these teams changes on a yearly basis, particularly in urban high schools where kids could be there today and elsewhere tomorrow. For the most part, coaches are tuned in to what they have to work with and what lies ahead on the horizon. Is it too much to ask for a little human touch that would allow coaches to have a voice? Explain that the numbers or talent level might be down, thus – for the vitality of the program – request playing in a lower division than what the math dictates?
Another idea is to remove the enrollment figures and replace them with actual participation. Before the start of each season, each athletic director would submit to the Interscholastic League an eligibility list, whether the level is freshman, junior varsity or varsity. Should a kid play multiple sports, he or she would only count once toward the requirement.
Furthermore, the win-loss aggregate would also include every game played during the regular season except the Injury Fund contest. Of the 10 Division I teams the Tolman football team locked helmets with prior to joining the league this past season, the Tigers won just one game. Granted those results had no bearing on the league standings, but they were results that were documented and recorded.
As far as using eight years to compile the 70 percent of the realignment figure – keep in mind that some teams may have played in different divisions over that span, which in turn allows for the combining of different points-per-win values based on how each division weighs each league win – it's better served to shorten the time frame in half. The notion of using what unfolded back in 2004 offers little insight as to how today's student-athletes will fare, given that we're talking about exactly two four-year cycles of kids rotating through the hallways.
At the R.I. Principals' Committee on Athletics meeting that took place on Nov. 19, Warwick Vets principal Gerry Habershaw went before the group to express his concerns about the realignment process and how several of his athletic programs are in divisions that offer them little chance to be competitive.
"He issued some concerns that it's more forced realignment," stated Tom Mezzanotte, Interscholastic League executive director. "We align based on a formula and the (PCOA) recognized what he was saying and will take it into consideration heading into the next realignment process."
Over time, there figures to be more people like Habershaw coming forward to suggest how realignment can be calibrated so that no team is at a competitive disadvantage. Yes, facts and figures are important, but in this day and age where some schools are wondering how some of their athletic programs can survive long term, some input by those directly affected may go a long way in preserving teams.

I am very new to PHP, but have been trying to research this for several weeks.
For security, can I create user folders named by User_ID (ie. users/user0001/) above the public_html folder, and is there an easy way to call that information using PHP?
So, if I want to allow user0001 to download the file "/users/user0001/123.pdf" how can I script this, bearing in mind that I want to use the same script for multiple User_ID's?
Hopefully this makes sense! If possible please please give me the absolute 'idiot proof guide'
....unless there is a better way of securing this information?

Knives Chau also makes an appearance, and she is probably the most interesting character in the film.
Also, the theme song is awesome. It's done by the same guy who does the music for Game of Thrones.
Also, I thought taking the sword out at the last moment was a plothole, but then I thought about it and realized that Gipsy Danger's main tactic is to get and close and blast Kaijus with plasma. They also might not have expected to be pulled so close to the atmosphere.
Ron Perlman was awesome as he usually is.
The sets were really awesome, there were also a couple of cool stills that I want to make into backgrounds when the movie comes out on DVD.

I'm somewhat irked that this issue seems forgotten already. At the start of ST Roberts seemed to be getting a fair amount of playing time which gave way to the hope that he's once again healthy. However, we all know we really cannot count on that. Apparently Buck Showalter is on board as Roberts is seeing game time cut for guys I figure are long shots to make the team (Niuman Romero and Ryan Flaherty).
OK so we knew we weren't getting a star. More of a solid affordable back up plan in Alexi Casilla. Roberts unless completely healthy and dirt cheap he is gone at the season's end.
What exactly is the plan at second Base? Is this position likely to become an annual issue as 1st Base has been?
If you bring up Jonathan Schoop, please realize that he's not reached AAA yet nor really settled at one position. For that matter the guy could sputter much like our third baseman of the future Josh Bell did a few years ago. Yes, I'm just as disgusted as you that notion was thrown at us.
In another thread we all chimed our thoughts regarding Arizona and JJ Hardy. But to me, this is the bigger issue. We need a lead off hitter. Right now we have Jake Arrieta, Brian Matusz and Zach Britton that have yet to loch a rotation spot. I would favor trading two of them for a prospect at LF or 2B that looks to be a good lead off hitter in two years time. Who? I won't guess at how possible it is but I will try to offer some candidates.
Christian Yelich (seems unlikely) http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=yelich001chr
Kolten Wong (Huge pricetag to trade for) http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=wong--001kol
Eddie Rosario (Possibility but needs one position) http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=rosari001edd
Those are three semi-high profile prospect and not one a finished product. Good lead off bats do not grow in trees and it's something this team has failed at miserably. In the draft there is a lack of high ranked prospects at 2b/SS this coming June. To make matters worse I see no free agent possibility that inspires a soggy bowl of box macaroni and cheese either. David Murphy maybe (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/murphda07.shtml) Yes, simply maybe.
So what exactly does the team do here?

Two St. Lawrence County workers with the state Department of Environmental Conservation were part of a 20-person team that spent two weeks helping to contain a fire at the Lolo Creek Complex near Missoula, Mont.
James Canevari, a DEC Lands & Forests sawyer, and Aaron Graves, DEC Lands & Forests firefighter, both out of the departments St. Lawrence County operation, worked the fire area, which stretched over 10,900 acres. The group returned to the area Tuesday.
The team joined crews from other states in battling the wildfires, which had grown from 3,000 acres to more than 8,500 acres in a three-day period and threatened some 1,200 residences.
The New York team assisted in creating control lines to contain the wildfires, clear materials from the path of the fires and protect residences, while facing 90-degree Fahrenheit temperatures.

The office of U.S. Rep. William L. Owens is bracing itself for the impact of the federal spending cuts scheduled for March 1.
The cuts, collectively known as sequestration, will see across-the-board federal spending reductions if Congress cannot agree on a compromise.
If sequestration occurs, I anticipate that members of Congress will see a cut in their office budgets, Mr. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, said Thursday in an email message. While I remain committed to preventing sequestration, I will do everything I can to ensure that any potential cuts to my office budget will not impact the services offered to constituents.
Mr. Owenss spokesman, Jon Boughtin, said there was no official word yet regarding the depth of the cuts to congressional offices. Mr. Boughtin said he didnt have any guidance on how the potential cuts could affect Mr. Owenss office.
A report filed by the White Houses Office of Management and Budget in September warned that sequestration would result in 8.2 percent, across-the-board cuts to congressional salaries and expenses. Mr. Boughtin cautioned that the information contained in the report, because it is several months old, may not be an accurate reflection of the current situation.
Sequestration would not impact the salaries of representatives, including Mr. Owens, because the salaries of Congress members cannot be cut without a specific vote. It would, however, impact the congressional staff salaries and office expenses.
I believe this is entirely appropriate as Congress should not be exempt from the consequences of the mandatory spending cuts, Mr. Owens said.
Mr. Boughtin said the office does not currently anticipate layoffs, and he was not positive when clearer information regarding the extent of the cuts will be made available.
I still have some questions, Mr. Boughtin said.

By PAUL BEDONTPrice City Fire Chief
September is upon us and the temperatures are already beginning to drop. If you haven't had your home heating appliances serviced yet, now is a good time to beat the rush.
Our area has a history of experiencing some very cold winter temperatures. In order to combat these cold temperatures, Carbon County residents utilize a variety of appliances to heat their homes. Most of these appliances continue to heat our homes year after year; however they do require some routine maintenance.
The most common heating appliance is the natural gas furnace. These appliances work very efficiently, however they do require some routine maintenance. The natural gas industry recommends you have your furnace cleaned and inspected at least once a year by a licensed professional, preferably before they are put into service in the fall. They also recommend you regularly replace the furnace filters. A clogged filter not only makes your furnace work harder to heat your home, it makes your furnace less energy efficient. With the ever increasing cost of natural gas, keeping your furnace operating properly can save you hundreds of dollars every year.
One last tip is to keep your furnace room uncluttered. Every year fire departments respond to fires caused by people storing combustibles too close to their natural gas furnace. We recommend storing combustibles at least three feet (1 meter) away from your furnace or electrical panels and never storing gasoline near your furnace.
Whether it's the high cost of heating fuel or just the desire for a pleasant atmosphere, may residents have chosen to install a wood burning stove or fireplace in their home. Wood burning appliances can be safely used if you follow a few basic safety precautions.
When you choose to purchase a wood burning stove or fireplace the most important thing you can do is seek the help of an expert. Wood burning appliances can pose serious fire risks if they are not properly installed. Every year we respond to fires where someone has improperly installed a wood stove or fireplace. In every jurisdiction in Castle Country a building permit and inspection by the building official is required when installing wood burning appliances. Many people have misconceptions about our building officials. They provide an essential service and work hard to ensure your safety. They are also a valuable resource for the do it yourselfer. They are knowledgeable about the proper installation of all heating devices and when a permit is issued, will ensure the appliance is installed correctly. Since fireplaces and wood burning stoves can present such a serious fire risk, here are some recommendations to address a few of the hazards we regularly see.
â¢Make sure there is enough clearance between the stove and combustible materials, including floors, walls, and ceilings.
â¢Have your stove or fireplace and its chimney cleaned and inspected by a licensed professional at least once a year.
â¢Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood and if you choose to burn coal, make sure the appliance is designed for the higher temperatures coal generates.
Portable space heaters, most of which are electric, provide another source for home heating. There are numerous types of space heaters and most are designed to provide heat to a small area, thus eliminating the need to turn up the heat to the entire home. Space heaters can also pose a serious fire risk if improperly used. Hundreds of house fires are caused every year by the improper use and placement of portable space heaters. Most of these fires are caused by the appliance being placed too close to combustibles, being tipped over when operating, or being left unattended. When purchasing a portable heater look for an independent testing laboratory certification, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL). This certification means that the device has been tested and is safe to use as long as the manufacturers instructions are followed. One other consideration when choosing electrical space heaters is proper house wiring. Electrical space heaters generally use more electricity than other household appliances. If you choose to use an extension cord for your electric space heater, ensure they are of the proper size, type and are rated for the higher amperage which space heaters use. You should also look for a testing laboratories certification on the extension cord.
After you have ensured your appliances are properly installed and serviced turn your attention to some simple alarm devices which could save your life. All homes should have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. A fire normally doubles in size every 30-60 seconds and precious minutes can be saved by having fire detection system. Every home should also have a fire extinguisher. Most fires begin very small and can be easily be extinguished before they grow larger and spread throughout your home. For assistance in selecting appropriate smoke and carbon monoxide alarms as well as fire extinguishers please call your local fire department or qualified fire prevention professional.
Every year we respond to fires and carbon monoxide incidents involving heating appliances. The sad fact is many of these incidents could be easily avoided at little or no expense to the homeowner. With the high cost of heating fuel and the potential for fire, a little preventative maintenance will result in a substantial savings, not to mention the comfort of knowing your family will be safer.
