Dryden Theatre Renovation: Painting, Listening System, and Digital Projection
Painting: Two very exciting cosmetic improvements have been made in the Dryden in the past week. First, the theater has been painted. The deep purple of the walls is complete with the repainted black ceiling. Once the golden curtain is re-hung the combination will be astonishing. Second, the lights in the coves on either side of the theater were installed. These lights shine from the coves up onto the ceiling along the length of the theater creating a nice atmosphere. Right now the lights are blue and red, but an interesting feature of these lights is their ability to be changed or to rotate on their own.
Listening System: Following 2 days of installation with a team of 6-9 people, the installation of the hearing loop is complete. The new system will now offer the hearing impaired a new option when they visit the theater. Creating a magnetic field in the theatre, individuals with hearing aids can tap into the signal emitted magnetically and hear the film's audio directly through their earplugs. The copper wire that makes the technology possible was laid down on the floor and taped with double-sided tape. Then, a second wire was run through the theater on top of it (phase 2). On top of the 2 wires was laid a vinyl tape, which will protect any damage to the copper wire once the carpet is laid over it. Special attention was paid to the location of the seats in the theater to avoid the possibility of a bolt being drilled through the wire and therefore breaking the chain that is necessary to create the signal.
Digital Projection: In order for digital projection to be possible at the Dryden new port windows in the booth had to be cut. The glass has not yet been installed but the openings that were used by the Century Projectors in our booth for the past 60 years have been expanded to make room for the new Barco digital projector.
Screenings in the Curtis: If you haven't been to any of the screenings in the Curtis Theatre these past few weeks I strongly urge you to attend. We're on week 4 and so far they've all been very interesting. The programs, curated by students of the L. Jeffery Selznick School of Film Preservation, are run on a loop throughout the day. Films included in the programs are all 16mm prints of short films that are very rarely screened. This weekend's program is titled "Hollywood Stars in Service: Government Sponsored World War II Films" and features short films by John Ford and John Huston along with stars James Stewart, Katherine Hepburn, Clark Gable, and Ronald Reagan. The programs change each week and are offered every Thursday and Saturday from 10:15 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday from 11:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. Screenings are included in museum admission.

Plug-in hybrid or all-electric? Eugene tests motor pool of the future
EUGENE, Ore. - Remember when 14 miles per gallon of gas wasn't bad for most cars?
How about 14 miles on a plug-in charge - gas free?
The distance is enough for Eugene city employees making local trips.
"That's correct; right now we're running on all electric," said Tony Jobanek, fleet manager for the city's motor pool program, as he cruises down Willamette Street with hardly a sound.
This is a test run for the next generation Toyota Prius. Eugene has free use of the car through Thanksgiving under a state program.
Mayor Kitty Piercy kicked the tires and got behind the wheel Tuesday for a test spin. She told a news conference near the Amtrak train depot that the state "rightfully assessed that we are the right community to test out green vehicles; to try to make a difference in the future of our city."
The car has a gas-hybrid engine, but also the plug-in feature. You get 14 miles in electric mode before the hybrid motor kicks in.
"That would fulfill most of the daily trip needs of city vehicles," said Jobanek, who said the city already has almost 100 hybrid cars and small SUVs in the fleet.
The city has had hybrid cars and SUVs for nine years.
The city wants to take this project a step further by testing an all-electric vehicle. That's supposed to happen later this month, giving the city's fuel pumps even less use.
Do these efforts save money in the long run?
Jobanek couldn't give KVAL News an exact number, but said "had we not had them, you can pretty much make the assumption we would have used twice the amount of fuel."
And with hybrid maintenance costs half of the gas-only rigs, Jobanek said chances are that the city will be plugging into this advanced technology.
Fleet officials said that largely through the use of hybrid cars, the city used 12,000 fewer gallons of gas last year compared to 2008.
The all-electric vehicle being tested later this month is a model from Mitsubishi, which Jobanek says has a range of 100 miles between charges.

When Dom DeLuise died May 4, 2009, his frequent director Mel Brooks said that he "created so much joy and laughter on the set that you couldn't get your work done. So every time I made a movie with Dom, I would plan another two days on the schedule just for laughter."
The viewing public didn't get to be a part of those extra laughter days, but that doesn't mean we missed out on the hilarity that was Dom DeLuise. The great comic actor left us plenty of laughs in dozens of films and television shows. And Brooks wasn't the only one who wanted to work with DeLuise over and over again – he was in high demand in the movie world and had several regular collaborators. We're looking at a few of them today.
We'll start out with Brooks. DeLuise appeared in quite a few of Brooks's movies: The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Silent Movie, History of the World Part I, Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men in Tights, in which he played shady character Don Giovanni.
Don Bluth is another director who loved to work with DeLuise – but just for his voice. DeLuise's voice, dripping with character, was perfect for Bluth's animated feature films, including All Dogs Go to Heaven, An American Tail and A Troll in Central Park. In The Secret of NIMH, DeLuise stole the show as goofy crow Jeremy.
And we can't forget DeLuise's frequent costar, Burt Reynolds. The two were good friends offscreen, and onscreen they collaborated in Smokey and the Bandit II, All Dogs Go to Heaven, The End, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and of course, the classic screwball comedies Cannonball Run and Cannonball Run II. We love watching Captain Chaos make an appearance:

Those interested in joining Utah's dedicated hunter program in 2003 must attend an upcoming wildlife conservation course.
The courses run about two hours and preregistration is not required. To be eligible to join the program, a person must attend one of the following courses before Feb. 6, 2003 and purchase a program certificate of registration before April 1, 2003. Those who complete the program's requirements will receive additional opportunities to hunt deer in Utah.
A course will be hosted Jan. 16 at the Castle Valley Center, 755 North Cedar Hill Drive in Price. The course will begin at 7 p.m. For more information, call 636-0260.
A separate course will take place Jan. 15 at the Museum of San Rafael, 64 North 100 East in Castle Dale. It begins at 7 p.m.
The dedicated hunter program began in 1995 at the request of sportsman's groups, who wanted additional opportunities to hunt deer after Utah went to a choose-your-season deer hunt strategy.
With input from these groups, the DWR created the dedicated hunter program.
Under the program, participants choose which general buck deer region they wish to hunt and are allowed to hunt in that region all three general seasons including archery, muzzleloader and rifle. In addition, participants are allowed to hunt the extended archery hunt.
Participants are allowed to take a total of two deer during their three-year participation period, and may not take two deer in the same year.
In return, participants must attend a regional advisory council meeting and provide a total of 24 hours of service on conservation projects that benefit wildlife.
Participants may choose to substitute some of the wildlife conservation project hours by paying a fee of $18.75 for each hour substituted.
Participants who are residents of Utah may not substitute more than 16 of the required 24 total required service hours, however.
The program currently has more than 7,400 participants and is growing by about 2,000 members a year. There is a 10,000 cap on the number of people who can be in the program however.
Utah's dedicated hunter program is unique because it's the only program like it in the nation.
Detailed information about the program is available in the 2003 Utah big game proclamation, which will be available in late December.
Those with questions may contact their nearest DWR office.

How is the stress level at work? The odds are good, there are some employees experiencing work anxiety to the max. The American Institute of Stress says, "Job stress costs U.S. businesses more than $300 billion annually due to increased absenteeism, employee turnover, diminished productivity and medical expenses." Unfortunately, this statement is right on target. Today, employees are concerned about job layoffs, cut hours, health insurance and a number of personal problems that add additional stress into the mix. As a manager, it is not possible to fix all personal problems, but they can certainly be reduced. Managers can also lessen work related stress for employees using these simple suggestions.
Manager and Employee Relationships
Managers are often in a tough position. In some companies, they are frequently over loaded with work, shorthanded, and they have incredibly short deadlines to get the job done. Consequently, many managers find themselves unbelievable stressed. This work anxiety and tension is transmitted back to the employees, which places additional stress on them. Managers can work out a plan to organize the work more efficiently and reduce stress levels at work for everyone involved.
Many managers make the mistake of taking no interest in their employees or trying to get to know them. This is a huge mistake. According to Professor Astrid M. Richardsen, BI Norwegian Business School "The best thing a manager can do to prevent work stress is to develop good relationships with the employees at work." Managers who know their employees well can spot when there is a problem immediately and take action to reduce the stress.
Methods for Reducing Workplace Stress
- Encourage team building. Most employees have never met each other and they do not know anything about one another. Managers can devise time for their employees to get together as a team to plan a project, play games or support community activities.
- Provide places for company employees to have a quiet break away from technology or a room to play games in and let off steam.
- Managers can schedule outdoor activities for exercise and fresh air. Consider holding meetings outside the workplace in a different environment and have everyone walk to the meeting. This helps to rejuvenate employees and gives them a chance to stretch their legs.
Look around the office or workplace and see where you can make changes to reduce work anxiety, increase laughter and allow employees to relax.

More information about the live broadcast is available in the Developer Days wiki.
Newly-elected ME EC member Sean Sheedy is seeking feedback from the ME development community for topics to discuss during this month's EC face-to-face meeting, and has started a forum thread seeking feedback from the developer community about what the EC needs to be talking about. "I have my own ideas on what's needed, and plan to raise issues that
have been stated previously. But the EC needs to hear what's on the
mind of the general developer community, especially in light of newer
mobile development platforms on the scene. What topics do you think
the EC should be addressing?"
The two-day Mobile, Media, and eMbedded Developer Days conference "is devoted solely to the technologies of mobile, media, and embedded Java platforms and is a unique opportunity for content developers of intermediate and advanced skill levels, platform developers, and technical experts at product companies, device manufacturers, and service providers to get introduced to open source Java ME, the community, and to join in and collaborate."

Welcome to LJR! (if anybody hasn't already told you).
I use GTK-Gnutella, and Limewire for file sharing. They both use the Gnutella network, but AFAIK it's nothing compared to the network that Kazaa uses.
I can play .wav and .mp3 files fine through Opera. If you're talking about streaming audio, look into installing MPlayer, and the MPlayer plugin for web browsers.
File sharing is fine, just make sure you only share the directories that contain music, and not your whole HDD. :

News that the troubled insurance giant AIG has paid multimillion dollar bonuses to its staff as the company was being bailed out by taxpayers has prompted calls for an investigation.
According to newly released information by New York Attorney General Drew Cuomo, AIG paid 73 employees bonuses of more than $1 million. The largest bonus paid was $6.4 million and seven more people received more than $4 million each.
In total, the company paid $165 million in bonuses and compensation, including to traders at its financial products division whose activates contributed to the near-collapse of the financial system.
In the last few days, Congress and President Obama have been firing a barrage of criticism at the AIG management and publicly discussing ways of blocking the bonuses.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced today that he will propose a tax on the money so that the "recipients of those bonuses will not be able to keep all their money – and that's an understatement," according to CNN.
To date, American taxpayers have provided some $170 billion dollars in bailout funds to keep the company from collapsing. AIG also received an $85 billion loan from the Federal Reserve.
AIG lost $62 billion dollars in the fourth quarter of 2008 while holding more than 74 million insurance policies in 130 countries, which suggests the possibly catastrophic impact of the company's troubles for the financial security of its customers and the economy at large

Visible Range Blog: Sekonic L-758 with RT-32CTL, PocketWizards & Nikon Speedlights
A sister post has been published simultaneously on the Sekonic blog due to the shared technology featured belonging to both Sekonic and PocketWizard.
Here's some exciting news for Nikon PocketWizard users interested in metering to get the most accurate exposures possible with their off-camera flash.
Dinil Abeygunawardane at Visible Range Blog has posted a most impressive article entitled "Sekonic L-758 with RT-32CTL, PocketWizards & Nikon Speedlights."
With Sekonic's new RT-32CTL you can now use a Sekonic L-358 or L-758 to meter flash with PocketWizard ControlTL radios. Dinil centers his post around Nikon-based PocketWizard radio triggers, including the FlexTT5 and the MiniTT1. In fact, he fires off what appears to be seven FlexTT5 radios with his Nikon speedlights!
The post goes into tremendous detail and features screenshots of the Sekonic Data Transfer Software, a meter's LCD screen, and the PocketWizard Utility Settings software. This post will guide you through Dinil's configuring of his system.

When Amber Heard hit the red carpet at the LACMA 2012 Art + Film Gala last month we swooned over her glowing skin, messy updo, and perfectly flattering makeup shades. Makeup artist Spencer Barnes used a "split complementary" theory to select the colors--a concept that utilizes hues from opposites sides of the color wheel. Heard's orangey-red lip color, apricot blush, and plum eye shadow were picked to highlight her green eyes and the gold embellishment of her Gucci dress. We checked in with her beauty team for all the details of this expertly curated look!Skin
Barnes prepped Heard's skin with AmorePacific's Moisture Bound Intensive Vitalizing Eye Complex ($125), followed by Kate Somerville's Quench Oil Free Hydrating Face Serum ($65), for an "instant glow," he says. Once that soaked in, he lightly applied Laura Mercier's Crème Smooth Foundation ($50) in Sunny Beige using a brush, and smoothed edges with a beautyblender sponge ($20). For glowing skin he patted on Merle Norman's Liquid Shimmer Highlighter ($23) in Anything Glows around the eyes, on the chin and forehead, and down the bridge of the nose.
To gently contour the face Barnes swept Benefit's Hoola Bronzer ($28) under the cheekbones. "It gently contours without shimmer," he says. For color he dusted on Nars' Blush ($28) in Deep Throat on the apples of the cheeks.
For the eyes Barnes applied Merle Norman's Soft Touch Eye Pencil ($18) in Earthy on the top lash line, extending it just past the outside of the eyes. He layered Merle Norman's Eye Shadow ($16) in Oyster and Coco Cashmere on the lid, and Soft Apricot in the crease for contour. On the bottom lash line he smudged the brand's Color Max Shadow ($16) in Vintage Charm for "shading without a heavy line," he says. Anastasia's Brow Powder Duo ($22) in Brunette was applied to define the actress' eyebrows before sweeping on Dior's Diorshow Mascara ($25) in Black on the top lashes, and CoverGirl's LashBlast Volume Mascara ($7) in Brown on the bottom lashes--a trick Barnes used for soft definition.
For a bold, orangey-red lip, Barnes applied Nars' Velvet Matte Lipstick Pencil ($24) in Red Square, outlining the lip with a brush before filling them in. "Anytime you use a bold lipstick, use a brush to make the perfect outline," he says.
For a lasting updo, hairstylist Andrea Martin opted not to wash Heard's hair; instead she dampened the actress' roots and applied Rene Furterer's Volumea Volumizing Foam ($23). Martin layered Fekkai's Coiff Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel ($25) over the mousse, concentrating on the roots and lightly spraying down the length, then rough-dried Heard's hair with Conair's Pro Silver Bird Hair Dryer ($45). For texture Martin wrapped 1 1/2-inch sections around a 1-inch curling rod, leaving the ends untouched by heat, before teasing the top section of the hair and smoothing it back with her hands.
For a bun with staying power Martin created a sturdy base. "Take both hands like you're going to make a ponytail and twist the hair counterclockwise until the base of the pony twists into a bump, and pin with large bobby pins," she says. She loosely wrapped the remainder of the hair around the bump, tucked the ends inside, and pinned in place. "To create more texture rub your hands in a circular motion on the temples," she says. "Just enough to loosen the hairs but not undo the style." Set with Elnett Stronghold Hairspray ($15). Who knew a messy bun and a few key colors could be so glamorous?

8 Failed Food Products You'll Never Have to Eat AgainBrooke McLay
Remember all those food products companies have released, attempted, and failed miserably at selling to the mass public? From frozen dinners to psycho soda pops, here are 8 food products that maybe never should have made it to the shelf. Get ready to take a walk down memory lane, with a few food items you may wish you didn't remember at all.
Heinz EZ Squeeze 1 of 8Blue Ketchup. Marketed to consumers as Heinz EZ Squirt, the blue, green, and purple colored ketchups has my kids begging us to go to the grocery store. Once we got it home and plopped it onto our hamburgers, they couldn't even take a bite. The over-tinted product looked like a bad batch of the red stuff.
Photo source: Ads-News.
Mixed Vegetable Jell-O 2 of 8Mixed Vegetable Jello? You better believe it. And it's release was accompanied by the "celery" flavored Jell-O, as well. Needless to say, the veggie flavors didn't take off as expected and this product was pulled off the shelves before long.
Photo source: Go Retro.
Orbitz Drinks 3 of 8Marketed as a ""texturally enhanced alternative beverage" these lava-lampesque drinks were introduced in 1997, but quickly disappeared due to poor sales. Not much of a surprise, if you were one of the folks who purchased a bottle, and swigged down the hyper-sweet drinks with a texture just syrupy enough to suspend little gelatin balls throughout the bottles.
Photo source: Wikipedia.
WOW! Chips 4 of 8Made with Olestra, a lower-fat oil, these chips promised all the flavor of traditional chips, and less of the fat. Unfortunately, the magic oil also came with wicked side-effects, like diarrhea and stomach cramps. Though they debuted in 1998 as one of the highest selling new products, these chips were eventually rebranded, then pulled from shelves and replaced with "baked" versions of your favorite chips.

Pepsi Blue 5 of 8Even though Britney Spears helped with the marketing, Pepsi Blue met it's demise in 2004, after attempting to compete with Vanilla Coke. Apparently, some people found it's berry, cotton-candy flavor less than desirable.
Photo Source: Mahalo Answers.
Oven-Baked Swanson TV Dinners 6 of 8With the invention of microwaves came the demise of the foil-panned Swanson TV dinner. Though I have fond memories of waiting the half-hour of bake time to cook up fried chicken , soggy veggies, and a spongy brownie, waiting that long for meals nowadays is apparently much too inconvenient.
Photo source: An Evening Meal.
PB & J Poptarts 7 of 8Discontinued in the 80's there was something just a little off about Peanut Butter and Jelly poptarts.
Photo source: http://poptarts.wikia.com/wiki/Peanut_Butter_%26_Jelly"> Poptarts Wiki.
Smurf Ravioli 8 of 8Who didn't love Papa Smurf's special ravioli sauce? Apparently most people. This product was pulled from the shelves long before the Smurf movie hit theatres in 2011.

Kelsie E. Rupp until recently had never been anywhere outside the U.S. except for Canada. When the opportunity came to visit a country halfway around the world, the Ogdensburg native and Heuvelton Central School graduate jumped on it.
I always wanted to travel and thought it was a good opportunity to help others, said Ms. Rupp, 22.
In January, Ms. Rupp, six fellow undergraduates and three graduate students from the nursing program at Le Moyne College, Syracuse, were part of a health care group that visited the rural village of Worawora, Ghana.
They provided hands-on care in pediatric, female, male, maternity and infectious disease wards at the Worawora Government Hospital and performed head-to-toe assessments and treatment of more than 430 residents in two community clinics.
When she arrived in Worawora, Ms. Rupp said, she discovered the world was not altogether unfamiliar from her own.
Most people have a picture of huts on television, but it is way more modern than I was expecting, she said. We immersed ourselves into their culture and went in with the intent of teaching those with whom we came in contact, but we later realized that we were the ones who were learning.
Before they could begin providing care to villagers, Ms. Rupp and her group had to meet with a special council of elders.
They asked us why we were there, she said. A leader from the group translated the Ghanaians native language, Twi, to English. They prayed for us and thanked us for coming to help their people. They even offered Worawora, where we stayed, as a second home.
She said the hospital was in stark contrast to those in Watertown or Syracuse. The Worawora Government Hospital, she said, has a total of 44 registered nurses, two physician assistants and one physician for the entire hospital, compared with Watertowns Samaritan Medical Center, which has more than 100 physicians alone.
The nurses were very gracious, she said. They were interested in our education and how we got to choose where to work. In Ghana, the government chooses where they work.
Unlike the United States, health care is universal and sparse, she said.
It only covers so much, she said. For instance, it doesnt cover blood transfusions. For those, you have to pay out of pocket. If they want to see the doctor, they have to go the hospital. Unless they are literally on their deathbed, most villagers would never see a doctor.
Although she was there for only 18 days, she said, the memories will last a lifetime.
It was very culturally enriching, she said. Nobody was worried about what they didnt have, and they were happy, given the few resources they did have. They seemed to embrace life to the fullest.
Ms. Rupp, who is graduating in May, plans to continue her education at Le Moyne and earn a masters degree in health administration. She said she would like to reapply to serve in Ghana next year.
I would do it again in a heartbeat, she said.

Video: Batavia School District Faces Discrimination Lawsuit
BATAVIA, NY - The Batavia City School district is facing a lawsuit from three parents on gender discrimination in sports.
The lawsuit was filed by James Myers, Susan Myers and Maria Walsh on behalf of their daughters, who play softball for Batavia High School.
WEB EXTRA: Click here to read lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges the district discriminates "against the girls' softball players by providing superior facilities and equipment to the boys' baseball program than it provides to the girls' softball program."
The parents claim the boys get to play their games at Dwyer Stadium, which is a minor league baseball stadium, while the girls' softball team must play on a field at the high school. The parents say the field where the girls play is filled with gravel and is unsafe.
The district released a statement that states the district is working on a proposal for residents to vote on to improve the field where the girls' softball team plays.
READ: Batavia School District's statement
The statement also points out that the Dwyer Stadium has been hosting the boys' varsity games since the 1970's and that the stadium is not configured for softball regulations.

"In 1949, prolific Modernist designers Charles and Ray Eames introduced their fiberglass Case Study chairs, propelling the idea of accessible, mass designed furniture for everyone. Los Angeles-based Modernica has the distinction of being the only manufacturer capable of producing the Case Study Fiberglass Shell Chairs under the Eames' intended process. On the chair's timeless design, owner Jay Novak says, "This was Eames. It's strictly there for its function. And as it turns out, it's also beautiful. But that's the way it goes. You make something that functions perfectly? Usually, it comes out very, very attractive." This is the first time that Modernica has produced a true black shell."
The Hundreds x Modernica "CMYK" Fiberglass Arm Shell Rocker features a black shell, cyan wire, and magenta and yellow rockers, available in limited quantities at $499 through The Hundreds online store.

The debate over a potential security shortfall at the Watertown International Airport hinges on a difference of opinion over two vacant positions in the Jefferson County Sheriffs Department.
Undersheriff Paul W. Trudeau, who told legislators Tuesday that he no longer would be able to guarantee a deputy for afternoon flights because of a personnel shortage, wants to see those two positions filled. After all, he said during a meeting of the Board of Legislators General Services Committee, they were included in the countys 2013 budget.
But seeing an opportunity to save money by reducing the size of the department, county legislators and administrators want to see a hard-nosed accounting of how deputies are spending their time before they decide what to do about the positions.
According to County Manager Robert F. Hagemann III, the issue has been outstanding since at least March 2012, when officials asked Sheriff John P. Burns for an accounting of how the departments law enforcement division is being deployed.
Mr. Hagemann said legislators and administrators wanted to get a better understanding of how the department is allocating its resources after several rounds of a federally funded Department of Homeland Security program raised questions about how manpower was being used.
That request did not meet with a favorable response.
The sheriff absolutely refused to bring forth any information, Mr. Hagemann said.
A year later, Mr. Trudeau, the new undersheriff, gave a PowerPoint presentation to county officials about how personnel were being used.
Mr. Trudeau said that after giving the presentation, he heard nothing for months, despite several attempts to engage officials in a conversation about his concerns.
They just said they would talk over the information and make a decision, he said.
Philip N. Reed, R-Fishers Landing, chairman of the Board of Legislators General Services Committee, which oversees the budget of the Sheriffs Department, said that officials asked for more information following the presentation, including a detailed description of how deputies were spending their hours.
But according to Mr. Trudeau, the county has not asked for any more details.
They got all that information in the March meeting. Since then, they havent asked for any additional information, Mr. Trudeau said. No other options have been addressed.
Mr. Hagemann said that while board members appreciated Mr. Trudeaus presentation, it didnt get to the heart of How are you using your personnel?
At Tuesday nights meeting, Mr. Trudeau told legislators that if he did not get more deputies, the airport no longer would be a priority for the department.
Responding to those comments Wednesday, Mr. Hagemann said, It is the duty of the board to establish the priorities of the county. For the Sheriffs Department to suggest on their own that this is not a priority, its not their job. Its the job of the Board of Legislators.
In 2006, when the county took over the airport from the city of Watertown, it signed an agreement with the Transportation Security Administration to provide security for passenger screening at the airport as well as a host of other duties.
Along with that agreement came a substantial amount of money to pay local law enforcement to take on that role.
The county hired an additional four deputies with an eye toward creating a department annex at the airport.
Those plans never came to fruition because the TSA ramped down the amount of funding for the program and reduced the number of required duties, according to Mr. Hagemann.
Mr. Trudeau said the duties of his deputies at the airport have remained the same.
By early March, the department had four vacancies to fill after deputies had retired, been promoted or moved on to other law enforcement agencies.
After Mr. Burns said he no longer could support the security detail at the airport, the county authorized him to hire two deputies, officers who will be moving to the department from other law enforcement agencies, according to Mr. Trudeau.
But that still leaves the department down two deputies from full strength, plus another deputy on light duty, Mr. Trudeau said.
The shortage is wearing down his staff, who have really stepped up to meet the demands placed on them by all their duties, which increase during the summer, he said.
Since 2006, the county has invested a significant amount of time and resources in the airport. Plans are being drafted to create a business park at the site and a search is underway for a full-time airport manager. Last year, the airport had 18,875 departures and 20,278 arrivals.
To protect its investment, the county apparently is willing to look outside the sheriffs department to fulfill the security staffing requirement.
Theres options out there and they will be reviewed, said Scott A. Gray, R-Watertown, chairman of the boards Finance and Rules Committee.
It is a strategy that Mr. Hagemann said the county has been considering.
We are exploring that but it has not been finalized. Its an ongoing effort, he said, adding that until a full-time airport manager is hired, contracting with a private security firm or another law enforcement agency is a theoretical exercise.
Mr. Reed said he wondered whether the department had looked at other missions apart from the airport to reduce the pressure on deputies.
Mr. Trudeau said that he has looked at other areas and that he never said the airport would have to go, just that he couldnt guarantee deputies presence there at all times.
He said that he really just wants the board to come to a decision about whether his department will be able to hire two more deputies and that his appearance before the committee was not an attempt to force anybodys hand but to simply bring a concern to the board.
I had a concern, the board listened, and thats basically it, he said.
Mr. Trudeau said he would not be scheduling a meeting with airport or TSA officials until he speaks with Mr. Burns, who is at the New York State Sheriffs Association annual summer training conference in Alexandria Bay.

42 U.S. Code § 7671g - National recycling and emission reduction program
(a) In general
(1) The Administrator shall, by not later than January 1, 1992, promulgate regulations establishing standards and requirements regarding the use and disposal of class I substances during the service, repair, or disposal of appliances and industrial process refrigeration. Such standards and requirements shall become effective not later than July 1, 1992.
(2) The Administrator shall, within 4 years after November 15, 1990, promulgate regulations establishing standards and requirements regarding use and disposal of class I and II substances not covered by paragraph (1), including the use and disposal of class II substances during service, repair, or disposal of appliances and industrial process refrigeration. Such standards and requirements shall become effective not later than 12 months after promulgation of the regulations.
(3) The regulations under this subsection shall include requirements that—
Such regulations may include requirements to use alternative substances (including substances which are not class I or class II substances) or to minimize use of class I or class II substances, or to promote the use of safe alternatives pursuant to section 7671k of this title or any combination of the foregoing.
(b) Safe disposal
The regulations under subsection (a) of this section shall establish standards and requirements for the safe disposal of class I and II substances. Such regulations shall include each of the following—
(1) Requirements that class I or class II substances contained in bulk in appliances, machines or other goods shall be removed from each such appliance, machine or other good prior to the disposal of such items or their delivery for recycling.
(2) Requirements that any appliance, machine or other good containing a class I or class II substance in bulk shall not be manufactured, sold, or distributed in interstate commerce or offered for sale or distribution in interstate commerce unless it is equipped with a servicing aperture or an equally effective design feature which will facilitate the recapture of such substance during service and repair or disposal of such item.
(3) Requirements that any product in which a class I or class II substance is incorporated so as to constitute an inherent element of such product shall be disposed of in a manner that reduces, to the maximum extent practicable, the release of such substance into the environment. If the Administrator determines that the application of this paragraph to any product would result in producing only insignificant environmental benefits, the Administrator shall include in such regulations an exception for such product.
(c) Prohibitions
(1) Effective July 1, 1992, it shall be unlawful for any person, in the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of an appliance or industrial process refrigeration, to knowingly vent or otherwise knowingly release or dispose of any class I or class II substance used as a refrigerant in such appliance (or industrial process refrigeration) in a manner which permits such substance to enter the environment. De minimis releases associated with good faith attempts to recapture and recycle or safely dispose of any such substance shall not be subject to the prohibition set forth in the preceding sentence.
(2) Effective 5 years after November 15, 1990, paragraph (1) shall also apply to the venting, release, or disposal of any substitute substance for a class I or class II substance by any person maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of an appliance or industrial process refrigeration which contains and uses as a refrigerant any such substance, unless the Administrator determines that venting, releasing, or disposing of such substance does not pose a threat to the environment. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "appliance" includes any device which contains and uses as a refrigerant a substitute substance and which is used for household or commercial purposes, including any air conditioner, refrigerator, chiller, or freezer.

MY favorite!
By alexis

I love this coffee. It has always been my fav! The recommended scoops of how much coffee to use per pot brewed does come out a little too light for my tastes, though. But just adding another scoop or two gets the job done!

Love this coffee. Perfect way to start my day.
Concentration Too Light
Due to its fancy look, it's good for a gift. But since the concentration is too light, you need ample amount of beans and still not satisfied.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The iPad 2 is already one of the most popular products of 2011, and it hasn't even been released yet. The new device will feature a 1 GHz dual core A5 chip and cameras that were not included on the original version of the iPad 2. The CPU, all in all, will be up to two times as fast as the hardware from the original and Apple has claimed that the graphics performance will beup to nine times better than it was on the original iPad and iphone 4 unlocked, giving users access to play more advanced games on their tablet device.
Power requirements for the device have also remained the same. Your battery life will be just as long as it previously, which is good news because the battery life of the original iPad was one of the best selling points.
The device will start at $499 for 16 GB Wi-Fi only, and will go all the way up to $829 for the WiFi that comes complete with 3G connections and 64 GB of storage. One of the biggest features of the new iPad is the inclusion of an HDMI output that is capable of delivering images up to 1080p, which is a feature that many users were hoping would be included in the second version of the popular tablet device.
The new iOS 4.3 will be better suited for use on tablet devices, and many new apps will be made available during the launch including the heavily promoted iMovie and GarageBand, which should give users audio and video editing controls that have never before been available on the iPad, unlocked iphone 4 and other tablet devices.
The iPad 2 is highly anticipated, and so far it looks as though the iPad 2 will be living up to the hype based on what has been shown so far. Look for Apple to have another trick or two up their sleeves for the official launch, as they usually do.

Prospect Watch: WR Arrelious Benn
As the Jets journey towards the draft in April, we here at TJB will be taking a look into prospects that could be on the Jets draft board. Today we will be taking a look at: Arrelious Benn.
Positives: Benn is a great blocker and has even expressed his love for blocking defenders. Benn can get good seperation and can maintain balance on his routes. He has quick feet and has excellent vision, size and strength that he can use to make life difficult for defenders.
Negatives: Here comes the big red flag: he needs to work on his catching technique because he drops quite a few passes! Some routes don't come as easily to him as others and he really needs to work on his agility.
The Bottom Line: Benn spent quite a bit of time in the slot in college and does fit the description as far as the Jets needs are concerned and his size and strength are a big plus. I'm not so sure if the Jets really want to deal with two receivers who need to work on their catching technique though. I wouldn't mind if the Jets drafted Benn because he does have talent but at the same time I would think if there is someone better, they would go in the other direction.

GM Watch: Slipping Through Their Fingers?
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
There's a lot going on today and none of it points to my sources that tell me Gamble is?/was? going to be the Jets choice as the next Jets GM. I am going to hold out what might amount to a fool's hope that there's been a bunch of intrigue and that this could still somehow work out before Friday, but all external indications and reports are that the Jets have moved on from their search. I'll address this all more once this whole saga plays out.
The Dangers of Gambling — Rumors abound since yesterday that Gamble didn't interview well with the Jets, and that he didn't have sufficient knowledge of the cap for the Jets staff. I can see how it would be an issue if Gamble might not come across well in his interview and then by extension imagining how it might go with the ravenous New York media. Still, someone doesn't get to his position in the NFL without true cap knowledge. What I think is going on is that the Niners approach to the cap is vastly different than the way that the vestiges of the Bradway/Tannenbaum regime look at it. Who else is going to tell laymen like Ted Hughes, Neil Glat and Woody Johnson that Gamble doesn't know the cap? It's not that Gamble doesn't understand the cap, it's that it's a vast difference of philosophy on how to implement the cap to build a team that the Jets and Niners use. Gamble isn't going to have internal knowledge of the Jets cap that a candidate like Scott Cohen would in comparison … that said, Gamble (and Marc Ross for that matter) are still widely considered to still be in the running.
Cohen Rising — Scott Cohen might have impressed the Jets, but let's remember that he was part of the team that got the Jets to the mess that they are in today. You know who else had a great internal interview for a promotion? Brian Schottenheimer in 2009. Cohen's close with Rex. For Rex, Cohen would represent the best possible transition in terms of his job stability. Cohen would go into the interview armed with knowledge that no outsider could hope to possess — but that's because it's his job already to have it. It wouldn't take any competent outsider long to uncover where the real problems are and how to move forward. That to me is what's most troubling about Cohen's impressing the Jets decision makers. What really impressed them? What also bothers me is that NO ONE else has been beating down Cohen's door. Andy Reid would know Cohen really well from their days in Philly … how come he's not even been mentioned in connection to Kansas City?
A Real Gaine? — Gaine has ties to the organization. He was a scout for the team back in the early 2000s, but he would likely not represent the sort of departure that the team envisioned when they fired Mike Tannenbaum. He worked for Bradway, and it's hard not to start imagining a cabal of Cohen/Bradway/Nissim banding together around a guy like Cohen or even Gaine to keep their jobs. He's got the personnel background, but other than a tie to the Tuna what exactly are Gaine's accomplishments? What blueprint of stunning vision did he learn from during his time in Dallas or Miami that's going to propel the Jets forward?
The Jimmy Raye Dagger — The thing that has me the most doubting the story about Gamble and the Jets has to be the Jets now sudden interest in Jimmy Raye. Holding to the Gamble theory, Telesco and the second Caldwell interview could be explained away as requests that the Jets made on Monday in a bid to cover their rather obvious Rooney Rule tracks … that Raye surfaces now as a potential new candidate in New York after he lost out in San Diego seems like the death knell to my supposed "scoop.". UPDATE: This might be a red herring. Cimini reports tonight that
this interview won't happen.
Caldwell's that Ends Well — There was a report earlier today that Caldwell somehow used the Jets. I think that report is 100% true. But based on the Rooney Rule stuff I just wrote above, maybe the Jets used Caldwell too. That said, I do think that if the Jets really were not impressed with Gamble then the second interview with one of their top choices (going in) and private jet treatment makes sense.
What About Marc Ross? — There's not been a lot said about how his interview went with the Jets, but he's still a candidate, was in the Jets first pool of interviewees, so look to see how the Panthers thing plays out and if the Jets take a second interview with him should he not get the Panthers job.
CONCLUSION: All indications were that Gamble was a go just days ago. If he is the Jets guy, then the team sure has a funny way of showing it. As I noted earlier in this post, I get the sense that there's a difference of philosophy and the folks with football knowledge inside the organization who are helping make the decision might not be that comfortable with that fundamental distinction … because it might mean their extinction.

Educating the Whole Person
The College of New Rochelle provides students with a rigorous academic experience and extensive preparation for a successful career in a supportive, values-driven community. Founded in 1904 by the Ursuline Order, we honor our Catholic origin and heritage through a longstanding commitment to intellectual engagement, inclusivity, and service.
The College comprises four schools — the all-women School of Arts & Sciences, the School of Nursing, the Graduate School, and the School of New Resources for adult learners. Our mission to provide broad access to higher education and foster lifelong learning is carried out at our historic campus in New Rochelle, New York, and at five additional locations throughout the boroughs of New York City. At CNR, an exceptional faculty and approximately 4,000 dedicated students join together to form a community of learners prepared to contribute to society in rich and varied ways.
This traditional undergraduate program for women prepares students for successful careers through a robust liberal arts foundation, a strong focus on real-world skills and experiences, and a distinctive curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking and individual empowerment. Our rigorous programs are characterized by challenging academics, outstanding faculty, and small classes, positioning students to excel both on campus and in their professional lives.School of Arts & Sciences »
The School of New Resources offers undergraduate degrees in a setting designed for men and women adult learners from a wide range of social and economic backgrounds. Students work closely with advisors to develop a degree plan that takes into account their experience and work and family responsibilities, resulting in a set of realistic goals and an attainable path to an undergraduate degree. Six campuses — the main campus in Westchester County and five in New York City — allow students to pursue their studies within their own communities. Each features small, seminar-style classes where close relationships and a shared sense of purpose unite students and faculty.School of New Resources »
The co-ed School of Nursing boasts a rigorous academic program specializing in extensive professional preparation and a compassionate approach to patient care inspired by the College's Ursuline heritage.
