NEWPORT – Paul Bruhn, Executive Director of Preservation Trust of Vermont, wants a WalMart in the Northeast Kingdom, but not in Derby. His vision is to put it at the corner of Coventry Street and Main Street in Newport City, where the People's United Bank (formerly the Chittenden Bank), the back parking lot and the U.S. Post Office is now. Right across from Pick & Shovel.
Chris Hamblett, president of the Pick and Shovel, has heard rumors about the possibility of a WalMart across the street from his business.
"From a business owners standpoint, we are totally pro having it in Newport," he said. "I believe having it across the street from us would be a great decision. It would draw a lot of traffic to town. If we were right across the street from all that traffic, we should be able to benefit from it."
Hamblett would favor having the store anywhere in Newport, a community that already has an existing infrastructure.
Business developer Tony Pomerleau, who owns the Waterfront Plaza, likes the idea of having a WalMart in Newport.
"It would be tremendous for downtown," said Pomerleau, who suggested a one story building with a parking garage on the block between Second Street and Central Street. "That would really do something for downtown."
Pomerleau would like to see WalMart built in Gardner Park, which is across the street from the Waterfront Plaza.
Bruhn believes a WalMart superstore - which would include 300 parking spaces on a three-tier garage, a two-story shopping area, a bank and the post office - is just the thing to revitalize downtown Newport.
"We've been involved with WalMart since the 1990s," Bruhn said. "Vermonters need the kind of shopping experience that a WalMart provides."
Bruhn said the important thing is to "get the concept out there" and "start the discussion."
"People make assumptions of what is possible," he said. "This is about trying to start the conversation."
When asked about traffic in a bottlenecked area famous for traffic jams, Bruhn said, "There are multiple ways into the city." He said the store would be a boon to Newport residents who can't drive or don't have a vehicle. He said that in the past, when Newport had several department stores and a large hotel in the 1940s, traffic was heavier than it is now.
Bruhn said the proposed Derby site of WalMart would be "very unfortunate for downtown Newport" as it would draw people away from Newport and "will have a negative effect on other retailers in Derby."
Bruhn made his pitch to the Newport City Council about two years ago, he said, and he received a rather cool reception at the time.
I also sent the concept to WalMart but hasn't received much of a response yet.
City Mayor Paul Monette said he's a firm believer in a WalMart "but not in downtown Newport."
"I'm going to study these," he said of the conceptual drawings sent to him. "It's very interesting, but I don't see how it's going to work."
City Manager John Ward Jr. declined to comment about the idea.
Developer J.L. Davis, who is working on brining WalMart to Derby, had little good to say about the proposal.
"It's a cheap public relations ploy by Paul Bruhn," Davis said. "He did the same thing in St. Albans."
Davis, a developer who stressed he doesn't personally represent WalMart, said Bruhn knows the location is not acceptable.
Managing Editor Susan Davis contributed to this article.
Let me weigh in on this one as a former Newport resident with family living in the City and as a current New Yorker, living with sprawl. It's not a well-kept secret that Newport and Orleans County are depressed areas that attract visitors but where residents find few jobs opportunities, especially those with upgrowth potential. I am willing to bet that what will pass for planning in the face of the promises WalMart makes about job opportunities, renewed business for area merchants and respect for the environment will break the hearts of more than one person in Newport. This is not a business for the downtown area, especially one that will destroy Gardiner Park or deface the downtown area.
And I doubt that the locals on the Planning Board are any match for WalMart planners and their attorneys.
I live in an area where you can trip over a WalMart every few miles. Their faceless cinder block buildings and immense parking lots are best left to an open area outside of the City. Yes, they have decent prices, will give a few people minimum wage jobs that will not provide enough to get people off public assistance, and will be a place for mindless shopping in aisles that are designed to help you fill your cart. Downtown will not flourish because the money flows into WalMart and then to Bentonville. And, yes, you will receive tax dollars from them and they will negotiate for a reduced rate for more years than anyone on the City Council has left in their lifespan and will never pay a full share.
I don't know who this Paul Bruhn is but his inflammatory rhetoric is detrimental to the health of the community and given without a plan for mitigating the damage to the downtown. Like Pommerleau, they would gladly destroy historic Gardner Park and create an eyesore for profit.
Sure, build a WalMart just not in the City limits. I understand places evolve, but this isn't urban renewal. It's wanton destruction.
palberici, you say that the "Downtown will not flourish" with a WalMart (somewhere) in Newport???
I wouldn't say that too loudly in St. J or Littleton - One town will tar and feather you and the other one will laugh themselves into a coma.
I think the location that is being proposed for a store the size of WalMart in the center of Newport is one of the worst and stupidest ideas that they could even think of. What is it, an idea created by the downtown business owners, or town selectmen who do not have a clue or what, (not naming anybody on Coventry Street)who are afraid they will lose money by having a WalMart in a better location. Wont that be really pretty, a large State building that is already ruining the landscape of downtown Newport, now lets put an even bigger eyesore to match it right across the street from it, what a joke. If you want business to improve in downtown Newport do not put another turd in the middle of town, Sincerely, from someone who thinks the town planners are a bunch of idiots if they allow it to happen, bye bye :(
Don't build a Walmart at Gardner Park. Walmart in Newport ok, but not Gardner Park.

Soft touch
The top has a soft touch, I love it. It fits well.
stretch lace top
The shirt is very pretty and the fit is nice, except it's actually a sleeveless lace turtle neck. The turtleneck does not lay or stand flat around the neck. But otherwise, it is a nice top and a beautiful color. I purchased, the willow. I got the medium. Nice fit though.

Hyderabad is one of India's most dynamic cities, sitting at the crossroads of old and new, north and south, Hindu and Muslim. With a booming population of nearly 7 million people, this IT hub is at the center of India's technology revolution, earning it the nickname "Cyberabad".
This new, IT-focused, population lives alongside the traditional Hyderabad of the opulent Nizams. Founded just under 500 years ago in 1591 by Sultan Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the city contains some of India's most treasured historic sites, such as the Charminar and Golcanda Fort.
The city has long had a large Muslim population living harmoniously alongside their Hindu neighbors. This has contributed to a unique synergetic culture in the city and even a distinct dialect of Hyderabadi Urdu which is spoken alongside Telugu, Hindi, English and other regional Indian languages. Hyderabad's location at the crossroads of the subcontinent lends it influences from both North and South Indian culture and cuisine while making it the ideal home base for exploring this incredible country.

By GREG EICHELBERGERSun Advocate reporter
A stricter form of regulation may apply to the Carbon County landfill, if commissioners have their way. An ordinance was proposed at the Feb. 17 meeting to limit the types and amounts of solid waste that may be disposed of at the venue.
And, while the panel initially seemed willing to go along with some limitations and more stringent rules, they also received an earful from a few construction contractors and waste haulers during the public comment session.
The landfill, located on Airport Road, is a class IV facility, meaning it is zoned for disposal of asphalt, metal, concrete, bulky waste, construction and demolition materials and some organic matter (including animal carcasses), among other items. The problem has been that large commercial, industrial and/or business interests are dumping massive amounts of waste products.
The commission's attorney explained the proposed ordinance at the conclave.
"This is just a draft," he explained. "Residents could dump with a pickup or two for free, then be assessed a fee. Commercial entities would be charged by the ton."
He went on to say that, until more input from the community is gathered, he is making changes right up "until this very moment."
"Our concerns, as a commission, are these large-scale demolitions in which thousands of tons are brought into the landfill," said Commissioner Bill Krompel. "This concerns me, especially because of the size of the property."
He went on to explain that a 2009 estimate claimed that 20,000 tons of waste had been put into the landfill and the state had conjectured that, under current usage, it would not fill up for about 77 years. He was worried, however, that continued large-scale dumping by industrial concerns could shorten that lifespan considerably.
"I have to wonder why the taxpayers should pick up the costs," added Commissioner John Jones. "I'm not ready to make a decision right now, and I'd like to see what the actual tonnage limits will be in the ordinance first, but I am opposed to large-scale dumping."
Krompel agreed, saying, "Nothing is set in stone right now. This is still evolving and there are many ideas being thrown around. It's not a simple problem. I'd like to hear more input from contractors, as well. I also do not want to put a damper on businesses, especially in this economy. The question is, if we impose disposal fees, how much of an impact will it make?"
Jesse McCork, of Waste & Water Logistics, was not so sure about parts of the proposal.
"I think it needs to be made clear that hauling companies are not necessarily the generators of the waste," he said. "By state definition, the generators are responsible. We need to weigh everything - from pickups to large commercial trucks - and see just what comes in. Everything needs to be manifested."
Jones countered by saying that, while the generator of the waste did indeed hold some responsibility, if a hauler was being paid for its services, that company also shared in the accountability.
"What I believe the ordinance will say is that, if you're a business and this is your waste, or if you're making money to haul it, then we're going to charge a fee."
The decision to formally adopt the proposal should take place within the next month. In the meantime, commissioners agree to concentrate on three possible provisions: weighing the loads that are brought to the landfill, beginning a chipping program to break down some of the material and to vigorously encourage recycling efforts.
"We need to look at the overall project," added Jones. "We need to make this right straight across the board - a fair deal for everyone."
The proposed measure - at this point - does not impose fees for municipal dumping, a point which pleased Price City Public Works Director Gary Sonntag.
"That would have had a significant impact on the city," he said. "I am relieved that no cost will be added onto our budget for waste disposal at the landfill."

*This giveaway is now closed.*
When Princess P was born I had no idea that the toys she would play with everyday could be detrimental to her health. After sifting through her toy box I was left wondering which one's were really safe. While searching for safe, non-toxic toys ecoTimeToys.com was brought to my attention.
ecoTimeToys.com offers everything from organic cotton plush toys to wooden pull toys. They also only carry toys from manufacturers that place the utmost importance on quality and safety like HABA and ImagiPLAY brands. ecoTimeToys.com has taken out all of the leg-work for parents by spending countless hours themselves looking for some of the best toys around.
Since Princess P loves to help me cook (i.e. pull out everything in the cabinets and hand it to me at the most inopportune times) I knew that she was going to love the Melissa & Doug Magnetic Kitchen Bottle Collection that ecoTimeToys offered us to review. When it arrived she was eager to open the package and started playing with the bottle collection immediately. She quickly learned that each lid came off and then easily went back on. It wasn't long before she had all of the color coded lids mixed up. But she was having a blast!
The Magnetic Kitchen Bottle Collection will keep her entertained for a good 10 -15 minutes before she even looks up. She has also gotten better at matching the bottle color to the lid color. The bottle collection is hand crafted from select hardwood and non-toxic dyes and it is hand-sanded for a smooth finish. I love this bottle collection almost as much as Princess P does. She thinks she is just having fun playing but it is really helping her develop fine motor skills and color matching.

The most lovable quality anyone can possess is tolerance. It is the vision that enables one to see things from another's viewpoint. It is the generosity that concedes to others the right to their own opinion and their own peculiarities. It is the bigness that enables us to let people be happy in their own way, instead of our way.
The Practice of the Presence of God
I still believe that all spiritual life consists of practicing God's presence and that anyone who practices it correctly will soon attain spiritual fulfillment. To accomplish this, it is necessary for the heart to be emptied of everything that would offend God. He wants to possess your heart completely. Before any work can be done in your soul, God must be totally in control.
From Dr. Bob's Library
While I was at the Springtime in the Ozarks Convention this year, a fellow AA member gave me a little card that gets better each time I read it. Tolerance was printed on one side of the card and The Practice of the Presence of God, was on the other side.
I was told that the quotes were from Dr. Bob's Library.
Just wanted to pass them on. Hope you enjoy.

I am slowly deciphering some of the written materials left by the late Msgr. William J. Awalt. For review and comments, they are being posted at my BLOGGER PRIEST site.
Msgr. Awalt was the pastor of St. Ann's Church in NW Washington , DC for just over 30 years, retiring in the year 2000. I was honored to preach at the Mass celebrating his 60th anniversary as a priest in 2007. His pastorate was marked by a deep devotion to the Eucharist and a never-ending preoccupation with preaching the Gospel and teaching the Catholic faith.

CANTON - Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman encouraged Democrats to regroup in the north country.
Mr. Schneiderman, the keynote speaker at Fridays annual St. Lawrence County Democratic Committee Dinner, said the current wrangling in Washington, D.C., over the debt ceiling and government shutdown is proving the Republican Party, which is attempting to defund the Affordable Care Act in exchange for funding the government, is inept.
The show in the nations capital can be harnessed and utilized to pave the way for a north country Democratic takeover, the attorney general said.
Comparing north country Democrats to the French Resistance who fought Germany during World War II, Mr. Schneiderman said he appreciates those who have struggled over the years to paint the St. Lawrence County
purple and he believes the current political climate will turn the county blue once and for all.
We need an invasion of Normandy, Mr. Schneiderman said, advocating for local Democrats to seize the moment and flood the ballot boxes on Nov. 5.
That invasion is already beginning, Mr. Schneiderman said, pointing to the politically induced gridlock in Washington that is impacting thousands of people across the nation. From civilians that were laid off at Fort Drum to veterans who are having more difficulty accessing their benefits, Mr. Schneiderman said now is the time for Democrats to stand up and show that they are the party of good government.
Being a progressive doesnt mean you are a left winger, he said, it means you believe in progress.
And progress, Mr. Schneiderman said, means treating people equally.
Were here because as Democrats we do believe in equal justice under the law, he said.

CORTLAND Chateaugay played what its coach termed our best game of the year in its semifinal game Saturday and now finds itself in the girls soccer Class D state championship game.
After defeating Section 11 champion Smithtown-Christian 6-1, Section 10s Chateaugay has a 1 p.m. game today at SUNY Cortland against Section 3s Poland for the state title.
We picked the best time of the year to have our best game of the year, said Chateaugay coach Steve Lang, whose team is 21-0 after the victory.
The Bulldogs dominated semifinal play from the outset, limiting the Knights to just two shots on goal. Chateaugay didnt allow a goal until there were less than three minutes left in the game.
Chateaugay scored three goals in each half, but the offensive output could have been greater as several breakaway attempts were thwarted by Smithtown-Christian goalie Hannah Steffens.
Team scoring leader Alexis Beach scored three times, and her sister Katie Beach assisted on three goals. Courtney Boyea scored twice and Hannah Cook added a goal for the Bulldogs.
Alexis Beach put the Bulldogs up 1-0 at 7 minutes, 31 seconds into the game, converting a set-up pass from her sister. Katie Beach controlled a crossing pass by Boyea on the baseline, fed Alexis in front of the goal, and Alexis slipped a shot under an attempted tackle and into the far corner of the goal.
Cook gave Chateaugay a 2-0 lead minutes later on an assist from Katie Beach, and Boyea scored with five seconds left in the opening half by taking advantage of Steffens coming out of the crease and converting a clearing kick by Courtney Yando.
We got to play our game, use our speed and did an excellent job on defense again, Lang said.
The Bulldogs kept up the offensive pressure in the second half with multiple scoring opportunities. Alexis Beach scored the first two goals of the half, both assisted by her sister. Boyea capped off Chateaugays scoring on a feed from Alexis Beach. Chateaugay outshot Smithtown Christian 16-2.
We are playing really well right now and I truly believe that we have one more in us for (today), Lang said. We have a chance (today).
Poland (21-1) defeated Jasper-Troupsburg in the other Class D semifinal game, at Homer High School in Homer.
Smithtown Christian (9-6-1) spoiled Chateaugays shutout bid by scoring with 2:04 left in the game. Gennifer Vandeventers long crossing pass from the wing was stopped by Chateaugay goalkeeper Makayla Fleury. But Kristina Reuter was there when Fleury lost control and knocked the ball into the goal.
Fleury made two stops in goal. Steffans finished with 10 saves.
In Class D Boys action at Middletown on Saturday Chazy moved into the state finals with a 1-0 victory over Poland.

USU Eastern head coach Dave Paur watches his team on defense during a Scenic West Conference game against North Idaho College in December.
The Lady Eagles will need to find a replace for point guard Hailee Parry who spent the past two seasons leading the fast-paced offense that head coach Dave Paur requires his team to learn each season.
The effort was there. The determination on offense and defense was there. But the results did not follow along.
In their final game of the season, the USU Eastern Lady Eagles fell to Snow College 62-49 on Thursday night in the first round of the Scenic West Athletic Conference Tournament.
While the team struggled on offense in the game shooting 25 percent from the field, the Lady Eagles found themselves down by three points with eight minutes left in the game.
But the inability to hit foul key foul shots down the stretch and hit open jumpers and layups left the Lady Eagles with an early exit to the season.
Throughout the offseason, the USU Eastern womens basketball team will be left with the thoughts of what could have been. The Lady Eagles defeated Snow in their previous three meetings this season and were close to getting a four game sweep of a conference rival.
Head coach Dave Paur said the game was a "frustrating way" to end the 2012-13 season.
"We played extremely hard buy it seemed like the ball just didn't go in the basket for us on offense that night and all season long," said Paur.
USU Eastern was hurt by shooting 20 percent from the field in the second half, Paur explained. Down 34-27 at the half, the Lady Eagles were able to keep things close through much of the second half. But in the final minutes, Snow continued to hit their foul shots and open jumpers while the Lady Eagles watched their shots bounce out or fall short of the rim.
"We have a great group that worked hard and played with effort, but we just couldn't get our shots to fall consistently," he said.
Now with players including point guard Hailee Parry and forwards Amy Arbon, Brooke Slade, Whitney Fieldsted on their way to graduating, Paur said the returning players and new recruits will have plenty of opportunities to step up and show their abilities.
"We want to be able to push the ball up the court quickly and play tough, aggressive defense," Paur said.
The USU Eastern women finished the season with an overall record 10-19 and a 6-9 mark in SWAC play.

BOSTON, Mass. - The William and Mary women's basketball team dropped a heartbreaker in overtime at Northeastern, 71-69, on Thursday night from Solomon Court. In a contest that saw nine lead changes and seven ties, the Huskies prevailed for the overtime win. With the loss, the College falls to 2-12 on season and 0-3 in CAA play, while Northeastern improves to 9-4 on the year and 2-0 in league action.
Senior Emily Correal led the Tribe with a game-high 21 points, while classmate Janine Aldridge finished the night with 19 points and a career-high seven steals. Sophomore Anna Kestler netted six points and dished out five assists, while senior Jaclyn McKenna ripped down a team-high nine rebounds to go along with eight points. Sophomore Kyla Kerstetter finished the contest with seven points on three made field-goals.
W&M finished the game shooting 35.9 percent (28-of-78) from the floor, while it netted eight 3-pointers on 24 attempts. Of its 28 made field-goals, 14 were accounted for with assists. From the charity stripe, the Green and Gold was 5-of-8 (62.5 percent). The Tribe capped the night holding the advantage in second-chance points (15-8) and bench points (13-11).
In the early going, the College established a seven-point advantage, 11-4, at the 14:11 mark. Kestler initiated the scoring with a jumper at the 18:58 juncture, while Correal's lay up capped the opening burst.
W&M's margin swelled to eight, 19-11, with 9:59 left in the half as Boston area native freshman Brooke Stewart knocked down her third 3-pointer of the season off an assist from Aldridge. The Huskies closed the gap and eventually took a 31-27 lead at intermission.
As the second-half got underway, Northeastern maintained the advantage but the Tribe was steadily chipping away at the Huskie advantage. With 8:06 remaining in the contest, W&M regained the lead, 46-45, after a Kerstetter lay up courtesy of senior Chanel Murchison's assist.
For the remainder of regulation, the lead changed hands on six occasions and with 2:09 remaining the W&M advantage was at four, 58-54. The lead reached four after Aldridge drilled a trifecta just as the shot clock expired. However, NU managed to tie the affair, 58-58, but it was the Tribe who owned possession with just 16 seconds left to play. On the final play of regulation, Aldridge slipped baseline off of a screen and got off a shot that seemed destined to fall but rattled off the rim instead.
In overtime action, the Huskies seized control early but W&M tied things up, 60-60, after a Correal lay up at the 3:41 mark. After the NU lead extended back to three points, sophomore Jazmen Boone cut the deficit to one, 65-64, after the Virginia Beach, Va., native netted a jumper at the 1:27 juncture. However, that's as close as the College would get to over taking the NU lead.
Jewel Tunstull led Northeastern with 16 points and 14 rebounds, while Amencie Mercier and Deanna Kerkhof chipped in with 15 points apiece. NU finished the contest shooting 41.4 percent (24-of-58) from the field, and only 25 percent (6-of-24) from 3-point range. The Huskies capitalized from the foul line as it went 17-of-19 (89.5 percent).
The Tribe will continue Colonial Athletic Association play at James Madison on Thursday, Jan. 17. Tip-off from the Convocation Center in Harrisonburg, Va., is slated for 7 p.m.

I got rid of the modules_install directory (linux-2.6.9) starting at about the 4th time or so. As far as the 'make dep', isn't that obsolete with the 2.6 kernels? I get a warning every time I do it, and it says something about not being necessary anymore... Beats me. I don't know what the good points of the 2.6 kernel, but my system will not be using it for now. I will get it figured out eventually, but I think it is going to take alot of time. Everything that I have found online (which isn't much, really) talks about things (potential solutions) that we have already discussed here. I did all of them, with no luck. Crap.

William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, feels good about his decision to leave Congress at the end of 2014. As for the blowback he has received?
Fortunately, the vast majority has been pleasant and gentle, he said.
Mr. Owens was in Watertown to sit in on the North Country Health Systems Redesign Commission. In a frank discussion Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Owens gave his assessment of health care, infrastructure, economic development and the political scene in New Yorks 21st Congressional District, a district he has represented since 2009.
When Mr. Owens retires from national politics at the end of his current term, he will be giving up the seniority and committee positions he has gained for the north country over the last five years.
I understand that, Mr. Owens said, before reiterating that his decision was motivated by a desire to spend more time with his family.
Most people have been sympathetic to his decision, he said.
Since making the announcement, Mr. Owens said he has received calls from about six people interested in running for his seat, two of whom he considered serious, electable people.
The names of Dierdre K. Scozzafava, Mr. Owenss 2009 Republican opponent, and former congressman M. Scott Murphy, D-Glens Falls, have been widely circulated as potential successors.
Those are the names that have been in the paper, Mr. Owens said when asked if he was hearing the same speculation. Dede and Scott are very viable candidates.
Mr. Owens said that while Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, also a Democrat, has yet to weigh in on the race, Ms. Scozzafava would likely receive the governors support. Ms. Scozzafava works as deputy secretary of state for local government in Gov. Cuomos administration.
Mr. Owens said he would have little input on the selection of the Democratic candidate that role will fall to the partys county chairmen and women though he expects to be involved with introducing the candidate to prospective voters.
In the meantime, Mr. Owens said, he is helping to advise the Health Systems Redesign Commission, focusing on two areas: working with small rural hospitals and designing systems that can effectively deliver medical services across Northern New York. Mr. Owens spoke about potential innovations, such as an idea to set up clinics in local firehouses where emergency medical technicians work, the critical shortage of psychiatrists and Ph.D. psychologists in the north country and the need to train people in medical professions where job growth is expected to occur.
Mr. Owens said that he was optimistic that a deal to preserve jobs could be reached with Alcoa, which announced last week that it will permanently close two potlines at its Massena East plant, but that economic regeneration will most likely come from the regions colleges.
He pointed to a state-funded partnership between Clarkson University, Potsdam, and Saranac Lakes Trudeau Institute, which focuses on medical research, as an example of a model that could help grow and diversify the industry in the area.
Mr. Owens said he has no plans to remain in Washington after he finishes his term and will return to Plattsburgh.
My home base will be my home. I was dead serious when I said it was a family decision, he said.
He also said that while he would not take a job as a lobbyist, he might do some consulting work from Plattsburgh.

If a naturally brighter, whiter smile and fresher breath is what you are seeking, look no further than Probiotic Smile™ from Garden of Life®. The vanilla spearmint flavored mints are a patent-pending, synergistic blend of powerful probiotics clinically studied to naturally and safely whiten teeth, freshen breath and support the health of the mouth, teeth and gums.
With daily use, the probiotics in Probiotic Smile create hydrogen peroxide that naturally and comfortably whitens teeth with noticeable results in just 30 days - and all this without the use of harsh chemicals or the inconvenience of expensive procedures.
No alcohol-heavy mouth rinses or messy bleaching trays and strips, Probiotic Smile mints are all-natural and easily pop into your mouth. The unique strain of probiotics in Probiotic Smile:
Two of the probiotic strains in Probiotic Smile are known as S. oralis and S. uberis, and they are normally present in the mouths of people with healthy gums. The third strain is called S. rattus, which oddly enough, is very similar to the bacteria responsible for most tooth decay. However, when these three strains are put together in this synergistic blend, they rebalance the oral flora and promote naturally whiter teeth and fresher breath.
This is a much better route than bleaching fragile teeth enamel with high levels of harsh chemicals that create a roughness on the tooth's surface. These over-the-counter whitening products and those professionally applied in dental offices are extremely harsh, disrupting the fragile ecosystem in the oral cavity and creating an even greater imbalance in the mouth's microflora.
Unlike these bleaching products, Probiotic Smile is an all-natural blend of probiotics that works to balance the oral flora in the mouth and promote a healthy environment for teeth and gums while gradually whitening teeth.

Aryan OutfittersMeet the KKK's seamstress of hate couture.
Coming from five generations of Ku Klux Klan members, 58-year-old "Ms. Ruth" sews hoods and robes for Klan members seven days a week, blessing each one when it's done. A red satin outfit for an Exalted Cyclops, the head of a local chapter, costs about $140. She uses the earnings to help care for her 40-year-old quadriplegic daughter, "Lilbit," who was injured in a car accident 10 years ago.
The following is a photo essay about Ms. Ruth by New York photojournalist Anthony Karen, a former Marine who has spent several years photographing members of the Ku Klux Klan. The essay includes audio of interviews with Karen and Ms. Ruth.

Getting on with your life?
The life you have- it's called "Making the best of what you've got". Everybody thinks that their life sucks, and that everyone elses life is great. The truth is, it's what you make of it. I'm not real thrilled with my life, but I understand that I can change it , if I want to. Be careful though, sometimes what you think you want may not be what you need. Just remember "Be careful what you wish for- you might get it!"
What life ?
Ok... no one seems to be able to guess it, so I might as well tell you all.
I meet a nice girl on ICQ a while back, and after talking to her a couple of times, she has come to the conclusion that NGene is a moron for letting me go.. Soo I guess she likes me then
Feels good to get some positive respone from the other sex for a change...
(( And no, I'm not in love with this one, and I'm not going to Brazil to see her ))
I was going to guess a new girl. I should start checking the forums every 5 minutes.

Eric Gordon

Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
There probably isn't a Division-I starter for whom you couldn't cut something like this. But this reel illustrates how mechanically sound Eric Gordon's shot is. Watch the quick release, but pronounced, sweet follow-through. Another nice feature of his game – the hard dribble he uses in traffic en route to the hoop. Again, I haven't seen him play enough, but among the bevy of accolades you heard about Gordon a year ago was his ability to finish. It's especially impressive when you draw as much contact as Gordon seems to on his drives. I wish there was tape of what kind of stuff he does off the ball -- it's probably a better predictor of how valuable he'd be in an NBA backcourt.

University of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o's sorry saga, in which a girlfriend who didn't exist dies of leukemia only to resurface late in the Fighting Irish's dramatic run to the national title game to transform Te'o from Heisman runner-up to punch line, should be a clarion call to lonely hearts everywhere: Your larger-than-life online lover could be bilking you out of thousands of dollars.
"The victims are people who are perfectly normal," says Steven Baker, director of the Midwest region of the Federal Trade Commission. "The only commonality among these people is that they believe in real true love — and that there's a soul mate out there that they have found."
This isn't just a hoax aimed at young people like Te'o, either. These romance scams have left people of all ages, incomes and education levels emotionally shattered and embarrassed and, in some cases, Baker says, duped out of "hundreds of thousands of dollars."
The principal victims are people over 40, and some are even into their 70s. Targeted as lonely hearts, they're often divorced, widowed, elderly or disabled, according to the FTC.
While precise statistics aren't available — in part because many victims, feeling ashamed, don't file fraud reports — data suggest that this kind of online scam is on the rise. The FTC Sentinel, a database that law-enforcement officials use to track crimes nationally and globally, grouped 10,000 complaints under the romance-scam rubric in 2012, the first year the scam had its own category (like identity theft or tax-fraud theft). It's a figure that Baker says is "way low." In the United Kingdom, for example, which has one-fifth the population of the U.S., more than 230,000 consumers reported romance scams last year.
The average victim reported a loss of $8,900, or some $50.4 million, in 2011, according to the Internet Crime Complaint Center, a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center to receive and refer cybercrime complaints to law enforcement. That's another number that Baker thinks could easily be tripled — even quadrupled — if more victims would come forward.
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
Many of these fraudsters pull their charades from Nigeria, Ghana, England or Canada, according to IC3. But they'll often have mules (people who act as a go-between for money) in other countries, like Australia, Spain or Italy.
Scammers can find their victims through chat rooms, online-dating sites, social-media portals or online classifieds. They set up fake profiles — Te'o's "girlfriend" was presented as a Stanford University student and used the name Lennay Kekua — and they post pictures of beautiful people pulled from the Internet. Related story: 5 ways online photos can get stolen.
They draw victims into an intense and deep romantic relationships through email, text messages and, increasingly, phone calls. If they're on an online dating site, they direct their prey toward personal email to avoid being detected by the site. Attempts to meet face-to-face are postponed or called off. Te'o said the person claiming to be Kekua never showed up at planned meetings.
Was Notre Dame star duped into an online romance?
Simon Constable and Sam Walker discuss the fallout from the Manti Te'O situation.
Then the well-scripted romancing begins — and it can happen very quickly. Some victims report swapping "I love yous" as soon as the first week.
What's more, it can go on for years. Te'o, for instance, was in contact with "Lennay" for two years before he was told she'd died. And author and songwriter Dori Hartley said she had been misled in an "epic romance" lasting five years.
Most romance scammers have more than one online "relationship" at a time, and they declare their undying love only as money bait down the road. To avoid meeting, many pretend to be living abroad for work or say they are in the military.
Always, there is a drama or what IC3 calls "severe life circumstances, tragedies, family deaths, personal injuries and other hardships, to keep their victims concerned and involved in their schemes."

There aren't enough parks in Oklahoma to let Isaiah Cousins ball out.
The Sooners' freshman guard grew up playing in parks. He wasn't attracted to the monkey bars or the slide.
There aren't enough parks in Oklahoma to let Isaiah Cousins ball out.
The Sooners' freshman guard grew up playing in parks. He wasn't attracted to the monkey bars or the slide.
He preferred to bop people inside the caged courts of Harlem.
"You know, bop someone," Cousins said in his thick New York accent. "Like cross over. Break a person down. Break their ankles."
Cousins' childhood "crib" is located across from the Metro North subway that will take him to downtown New York City in two stops. Right now, though, the 6-foot-3 guard is learning the slower pace of life in the "south" during his first collegiate basketball season, where he's averaging 19.8 minutes per game, 2.6 rebounds per game and has collected a total 20 assists as a starter.
"In New York, everything is on the move. You've always got something to do," Cousins said. As he talked, he snapped his fingers to a quick rhythm, then stopped and continued. "It's kind of like that in college, a fast pace ... but not like New York. Nothing's better than New York."
In New York, it's all about fashion. That's what Cousins misses the most. That and a Sausalito sandwich — a spiced turkey sandwich with a "special kind of cheese." Cousins always bought one from the corner store for $3 with an Arizona Iced Tea.
"Everybody's fly in New York," Cousins said. "You gotta look good from the head to toe — the watch, the socks, the shoes. They don't joke around with the fashion."
And they don't joke around with their street basketball, either.
Like most guys in a fast-paced life, Cousins didn't have to ask people to play. He just knew people all around, knew the tournaments in the parks.
"In Harlem, there are several tournaments," Cousins said. "I used to go there and play. I went to a park in Mount Vernon and there you just play basketball. In Harlem, it's more competition."
Cousins used to play against Division I athletes and players for the Rockets, Lakers and the NBA's European Development League. He said he never got dunked on or had a man put a lot of points on him.
"That's not my style," Cousins said with a half smile.

|Planning Commissioner Speaks Out Over Sidewalks
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 11 March 2013 11:57
Boone Planning Commission member Jeff Templeton spoke out Monday at the town for what he views as preferential construction of sidewalks in some areas while other areas—areas where there is a lot of foot traffic—have none. Templeton registered his observations in a letter and photo
sent out this morning to the local press, saying his sighting of an older woman pushing her grocery cart on the broken side of a street with no sidewalk near Wal-Mart while new sidewalks were being constructed in an area that he noted led toward the Mayor's home. He encouraged contact with council member Lynn Mason who campaigned on the issue of making Boone a 'walk able' community. It is notable that Templeton has been at odds with the town over several issues of late, including new standards adopted from the Affordable Housing Task force and the old Watauga High property. His letter:

MASSENA Maintaining a healthy fund balance is on the minds of the school Finance Committee members as they begin talking about the districts 2014-15 spending plan.
Finance Committee member Loren J. Fountaine told Board of Education members this week that they need to begin thinking about how to use less of the fund balance while still providing a quality education for Massenas students.
I think our goal is to start to wiggle ourselves off the reserves while providing the best education we can to students, Mr. Fountaine said.
He said the Finance Committee recently held a short meeting to start looking at the districts financial picture.
We had less expenditures than we budgeted and a little bit more revenue than we budgeted, but we were still in the red. Although we did better by a little bit, when youre talking about a $45 million budget ... we still spent down our reserves, Mr. Fountaine said.
He had some words of caution for board members as they look at future budgeting.
Obviously for the long-term forecast we cannot continually spend in the red all the time, he said.
Finance Committee Chairman Michael J. LeBire had shared the same words of caution with board members during the most recent budget season, saying the well would be dry by 2016-17 if the district keeps using fund balance at its current pace.
At the current rates, the Massena Central School Districts unrestricted reserves will be exhausted by 2016-17, Mr. LeBire said in his presentations.
Board President John R. Boyce had echoed those sentiments.
While maintaining programming is important, we also realize the well is only so deep, he said.
The district had $23.5 million in reserve funds in 2012-13. It allocated $4.1 million of that to balance the 2012-13 budget, leaving $19.4 million for the 2013-14 school year. Of that, $13.5 million was in restricted reserves, meaning it was money designated for specific purposes and unavailable for general fund expenditures.
That left $5.9 million in unappropriated reserves that were available for general fund expenditures, and the 2013-14 budget used $3.1 million, leaving $2.8 million for future use.
But Massena wasnt alone, Michael J. Borges, executive director of the New York State Association of School Business Officials, said earlier this year.
According to association officials, unrestricted fund balances at school districts throughout the state used to plug holes in budgets to prevent layoffs and loss of programs declined on average by approximately 13.8 percent last year and were expected to decline an additional 8 percent this year.
Massena is not unique. School districts around the state have been drawing down their fund balances steadily since 2008. The last two or three years, they have steadily been drawing it down in bug chunks. Once school districts exhaust these fund balances, there will be nothing standing between them and fiscal or educational insolvency, Mr. Borges said, suggesting that schools hang on to as much of their fund balance as possible in anticipation of future year expenses.
New York state law sets a limit of up to 4 percent of the budget that can be retained in a rainy day account and spent as needed.

The music festival season's kick-off event--a.k.a. Coachella--is just days away, and while we can't wait to hear everything from cult favorites Florence + The Machine to rising star Gary Clarke Jr., we're just as excited to debut our 'fest-inspired outfits. Many years of experience have taught us that when it comes to music festival fashion, anything goes (as last year's surplus of Native American headdresses and American flag prints indicated). But here at WWW, we like to stick to a wardrobe that is not only stylish and cool, but functional too.Naturally, DSquared's S/S 12 collection--replete with denim cutoffs, fringed vests, and armfuls of bright wrist candy--served as the perfect runway reference, offering outfit inspiration galore. Keeping these festival-ready looks in mind, we curated a selection of fashion essentials that are sure to be a hit this summer! So whether you're headed to Coachella, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, or Lollapalooza-or just hitting up the after-parties- you'll definitely want to snag a few items from today's WWW Picks story!
1. ALDO Sindorf Straw Hat ($18) in Ice
While daytime concerts are always a blast, they do have a potential downside: pesky sunburns! If you plan on staying outside all day, a wide-brimmed hat is an absolute must. This straw style by Aldo does the trick, especially since the neutral hue will go with just about anything you pack for the weekend! Plus, the wallet-friendly price tag makes us all the more eager to snag one pronto.
2. Organic Peroxide Punk Friends Bracelets ($60 each)
We never shy away from colorful jewelry, so naturally we were excited to come across these bracelets by Organic Peroxide. The metal accents add a fresh twist to the classic friendship bracelet design, and we love that each piece is custom-made, so they really feel one-of-a-kind. All in all, we think these energetic bracelets are the perfect accessories to accompany your easy-breezy ensembles. Order your own today by emailing email@example.com!
3. Gap Tie-dye Braided Crossbody Bag ($100)
When it comes to picking a handbag for your music festival of choice, a cross-body iteration is a no-brainer. Ideal for avid concertgoers darting from stage to stage, the convenient piece is the right size for stashing essentials and allows for hands-free dancing. This version by Gap is an especially outstanding option, as the tie-dye pattern gives it just a touch of hippie-chic, while the cobalt hue is in perfect keeping with this season's bright color trend.
4. Spitfire Babet Sunglasses ($38) in Orange
A festival outfit simply would not be complete without a killer pair of shades. We think this orange version by Spitfire is a must this year, thanks to its on-point vivid hue. Allow these bright sunnies to stand out with a neutral look, or go all out and style them with an equally vibrant ensemble. Either way, we promise you'll never want to take them off, even after the sun goes down!
5. TBA Debby Dress ($182) in Off-White
The scorching desert sun at Coachella calls for airy, fuss-free ensembles, which is why this crochet mini dress by TBA deserved a spot in our story. The short white frock is guaranteed to keep you cool and stylish despite the high temperatures, making it a real winner in our book.
6. Ksubi Alberceque Cutoff Shorts ($180)
A pair of denim cutoffs is a classic choice for any music festival, so we'd be remiss if we didn't include a stellar option in today's story. We think this iteration by Ksubi is a particularly great choice-distressed detailing definitely ups their cool factor! We have a feeling these short shorts will become a mainstay in your warm-weather wardrobe long after you head home!
7. D&G Billy Idol-Print Cotton-Jersey Tank ($155)
If your collection of tanks consists solely of solid colors, now's the time to test out a bold graphic option! We think this Billy Idol-emblazoned tank by D&G just begs to make an appearance at a fashionable festival, and would look great paired with denim cutoffs and bright sandals.
8. Florence Broadhurst for Kate Spade New York Nail Polish Set ($28)
What's the perfect finishing touch to your music festival attire? Brightly painted nails, of course! Featuring a quartet of striking shades, this Kate Spade New York polish set tops our list. Inspired by the late Florence Broadhurst-an Australian designer known for her lively wallpaper patterns--all four hues will complement any ensemble this season.
9. ace & jig Vermillion Boxy Baja ($228, 805.565.1253)
While you might not need an outerwear option for the day, nighttime sets call for light layers to guard against chilly temps. But not just any old topper will do, which is why we wholeheartedly recommend packing this version by ace & jig! It's a luxe interpretation of the classic Baja hoodie--perfect for embracing this season's sporty look--plus, the eye-catching color guarantees you stand out from the crowd.
10. Cheap Monday Kloss Horse Short Boots ($130)
Flip-flops and sandals are always go-tos when it comes to festival fashion, but why not toughen up your look a bit and opt for these Cheap Monday leather boots instead? We love the unique cutout detailing and think they would look fantastic paired with anything from denim shorts to a flirtatious dress. We also appreciate how the thick heel ensures your shoes don't sink into the grass, which, as any seasoned festivalgoer can tell you, is a major plus!--Erin Fitzpatrick

Earth Day Jam 2012
Earth Day Jam 2012 Press Release A200, Strange Arrangement and The CTO High Voltage Band are just a few of the 12 total bands scheduled to play in an all star line-up performing at Earth Day Jam 2012 to benefit the Lewis P. Tabarrini Children's Music Outreach Foundation. The event will take place at Valerie's Lounge, located at 17264 San Carlos Blvd, Fort Myers Beach in the Indian Creek Shopping Center. The concert will run from 12pm-8pm on Sunday, April 22nd, 2012. Event proceeds will benefit The Tabarrini Foundation, a local non-profit organization whose mission is to provide instruments and lessons to children who may not have the means to do so themselves. Lewis believed that a boy or girl with a musical instrument in their hands is less likely to be getting into trouble, and he personally provided more than one child with their very first musical instrument. The organization was founded by Lew's children, including Bob Tabarrini of A200, one of the days featured bands. "When my father Lew passed away, my heart broke and my world felt so empty," said Tabarrini. "As I sat and reflected upon my Dad, I realized that even though he was not a musician, he truly loved music. As a tribute to my Dad, the Tabarrini children established the foundation to continue the heart and spirit of a wonderful father who simply loved children and loved music." So, with the help of friends and the support of the community, The Tabarrini Foundation was born. There will be numerous raffles throughout the day, including a 50/50 raffle and one for a Ricky Medlocke (guitarist, Lynyrd Skynyrd) autographed guitar. BamBandz will be there (www.bambandz.com) and for each bracelet sold, a portion of the proceeds will go to the Tabarrini Foundation. A Cornhole Tournament will run throughout the day and featured at the event a Dunk a Rocker Dunk Tank where several favorite local musicians will be up for dunking! Another notable happening for the day includes the debut of a new all original band called Soul Funk Unity. The bank consists of Mike Rogers; formerly of Vanilla Crosby, Greg Sallen; formerly of Geek Skwad, Mike Brophy and Bobby Blakey; formerly of The Drunk Monkeys and the new guy on the scene Prentice "Phenom" Harris. They will be bringing an exciting new mixture of soul, funk and rock to the event that is sure to have everyone grooving! All of the bands performing at Earth Day Jam 2012 have graciously donated their time to The Tabarrini Foundation for this event. Full line up is as follows: (times are approximate) 12:00-12:30 Myth Live 12:40-1:10 Renee Masse Hose 1:20-1:50 SuperBot 2:00-2:30 Sand Fleas 2:40-3:10 Groove Alliance 3:20-3:50 CTO High Voltage 4:00-4:30 K3 4:40-5:10 Soul Funk Unity 5:20-5:50 GLP 6:00-6:30 A200 6:40-7:10 Wallow Sound 7:20-8:00 Strange Arrangement Food and drink will be available, so no coolers please.
