GOUVERNEUR Natalie J. Spilman was near tears Monday as she pleaded with the Gouverneur Central School Board of Education not to close Fowler Elementary School as a cost-saving measure.
It really makes me sick to my stomach youre going to sell the children out, she said. I feel in my heart youve already made the decision and Im very sad.
More than 60 people, most of them opposed to the closure of the elementary school, attended the public forum hosted by the school board in the high school auditorium.
Fowler Elementary, one of three elementary schools in the district, is being weighed for closure to help close an estimated $1.15 million shortfall projected for next years budget.
District officials estimate closing the school would save $224,000 in the first year, based on utility and contractual expenses, and savings on personnel, including positions in administration, maintenance, a nurse and food service. The bulk of the teaching staff would transfer, along with the pupils, to vacant classrooms in either East Side Elementary or West Side Elementary in the village. Class sizes would remain about the same.
Your child is going to get the same type of attention, board President Barry R. Smith said. Were not asking any child to go into a 35-children classroom.
Some savings perhaps about $65,000 worth might come from rerouted bus runs, but Mr. Smith said the district was not interested in any financial gains if it came as the result of longer bus trips.
Im personally interested in reducing bus time, he said.
At best, the district is looking at $400,000 in savings if the school is closed, and it will mean some job losses, said Fowler resident Rick W. Newvine.
Is it worth 1 percent of your budget to disrupt a whole community? he said.
Keeping the school open could mean a 4.5 percent increase in the tax levy, Mr. Smith said.
Should we ask the entire school district to fork out 4.5 percent to pay for a school when we have vacant classrooms? he said. Were faced with very challenging times. We wish we didnt have to consider it.
Closing the school would be a small portion of what the administration is considering, board member Clark R. Porter said.
We can increase taxes 30 percent this year or we can reduce jobs and programs. Its cuts. Its going to negatively affect someone, he said. Were running at bare minimum. Theres not a lot of options.
Non-mandated programs and services include art, athletics, business electives, elementary guidance services, family consumer science, an agriculture program, kindergarten, some library services, music, the pool and limits on transportation.
Fowler taxpayers contribute 30 percent of the districts levy while those in the town and village of Gouverneur pay 48 percent, Fowler resident David L. Spilman said. The remainder comes from surrounding towns.
People in Fowler always wanted to pay our share, Mr. Spilman said. We are.
Many in the audience supported eliminating non-mandated programs, such as sports, or to make them pay-to-play rather than close Fowler.
The districts educational program has been on the losing side in recent budgets, Mr. Smith said.
From my perspective, thats exactly what weve been doing for three years. We have lost teachers, he said. This has been a four-year process of cutting.
Since the 2009-10 school year, the district has eliminated the equivalent of 16.5 full-time teachers while taking back some programs from St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services, frozen building budgets, reduced maintenance purchases and cut back on administration.
Because Fowler is small with 116 pupils, it remained relatively untouched until last year when the district made its principal part time combined with another position and consolidated a secretarial position.
The board is expected to make a decision on the school Feb. 25 but the issue could end up delayed regardless of the vote.
Mr. Spilman produced a law, circa 1949, that required any closure of the Fowler school be put to a public referendum in the town of Fowler.
Its not the law in 2013, Mr. Smith said. The school is a property of Gouverneur Central School District.
However, Mr. Spilman said that could be for the courts to decide.
It could probably be a lawyers field day, he said. Theres some of these old laws maybe theyve never changed.
Research into the law is not relevant to the Feb. 25 vote, but it could be meaningful later if it were valid, Mr. Smith said.
It would null and void whatever action we took, he said.

Google is finally ready to show what it can do with its own brand of tablet. It's called the "Nexus 7. " We hear we'll get a first look at it at next week's Google I/O developer conference.
DigiTimes just reported a number of details about the Nexus 7 slate that seem to ring true. The DigiTimes source in the tablet's supply chain claimed that Google's next major Android release - Jelly Bean - would come in the second quarter. They also reported that Nexus tablet shipments would begin in June in preparation for a July launch.
Microsoft's unveiling of its "Surface" tablet seems to be the start of a major effort by software wizards to become hardware masters. Google seems to be right behind. Google also has a few Android partners that help on the device building side. Some are developing their own software expertise. Just when we thought the only entertainment was going to be Apple against the rest of the world, it seems the natives have gotten restless.
Google I/O begins on June 27th.

Video: RAW: Interview with MSU Botanist about Baby Kate case
LUDINGTON, Mich. (WZZM) -- Ludington Police are enlisting the help of botanists and local plant hobbyists in the search for Baby Kate. Investigators have identified 10 plants they believe will help them get one step closer to finding Katherine Phillips.
Baby Kate was four months old when she disappeared in June 2011. Her biological father, Sean Phillips, is currently in prison, convicted of unlawful imprisonment in the case. In a letter from behind bars, Phillips said he put Katherine in a "peaceful place."
In June 2011, police found small clumps of soil on Phillips shoes. Botanists from the University of Michigan and Michigan State University have found traces of plants in the soil samples; some are common like pine and cedar, but investigators are especially interested in an extremely rare variety of sedge: Carex atlantica, also known as prickly bog sedge.
"This is kind of a botanical fingerprint that we are looking at," said Dr. Frank Telewski, a biologist at MSU.
Ludington Police Chief Mark Barnett is now asking for 100 volunteers to form a botanical search team to find the plant. "When you have information that leads to a step forward you are excited about it."
The search will take place June 28-29, exactly two years after Baby Kate disappeared. Police hope the search for the rare variety of sedge will lead to exactly where Sean Phillips was and the discovery of Katherine Phillips' body.
Anyone with experience in identifying local plants and who are interested in helping with the search should fill out an application on the City of Ludington website under Botanical Search Team. The group will search Mason County looking for the plant, which will be producing a small fruit that time of year.
"It is just coincidental that the time of the disappearance that the fruit were ripe and being shed. So that is when it was picked up on the shoes," said Dr. Telewski.
"The significance of this material is it is know within the capability of law enforcement to scientifically determine where Sean Phillips had been walking on the day that baby Kate went missing," said Chief Barnett.
Police have identified likely search locations but would not say if they are areas searched in 2011.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Well known local DJ and Maine Sports Hall of Fame member, Dana Wilson, pleaded no contest Thursday morning to charges of possessing child pornography.
The 62-year-old from Brewer was first investigated by Brewer Police in February of 2011. What they found on Wilson's computer was enough to charge him with one count of possession of sexually explicit material, a Class C Crime. Wilson waived his right to a jury trial in March, agreeing to be tried before a judge Thursday.
The case receiving a lot of attention due to the fact that Wilson had been inducted into the Maine Sports Hall of Fame last year and was also the music DJ for several school dances in the Brewer area.
During the court proceedings, Deputy District Attorney for Penobscot County, Michael Roberts, listed the evidence that was discovered including 16 videos with sexually explicit material of children under the age of 12. Wilson neither admitted nor denied the findings and pleaded no contest to the charges against him.
"It means he's not admitting his guilt , but he's not contesting the charges," said Roberts. "The judge then hears the state's facts and enters a finding of guilt."
According to the attorney representing Wilson, Jeffrey Silverstein, the reason his client pleaded no contest was to avoid a lengthy trial down the road that could potentially call his family members to testify.
"He was determined to avoid putting members of his family in a position where they were forced to testify," said Silverstein. "He was aware that the state had subpoenaed these individuals and he did not want to put them through the trial process."
A sentencing date has been scheduled for July 16th. If convicted, Wilson faces a maximum of 5 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines. He remains free on bail with several conditions including no contact with anyone under the age of 16.

Pronounced: floo-DAYR-a-been
Classification: Antimetabolite
Fludarabine exerts its anti-cancer effect by preventing DNA synthesis through inhibition of DNA polymerase (an enzyme that plays a major role in making DNA). Lack of functional DNA prevents the cancer cell from reproducing, which results in death of the cell. In this way, slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in your body.
Fludarabine is given by intravenous (into a vein) infusion, over about 30 minutes. The dosage and schedule is determined by the person's size, type of cancer, and mode of administration. It can be given alone or with other drugs.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Fludarabine. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4 F), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nosebleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If your platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange and grapefruit sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
Some less common side effects that have been reported include: rash, taste changes and numbness and tingling of the hands and feet.

Lymphedema After Breast Cancer Surgery
In this article
What Can I Do If I Already Have Lymphedema?
To help decrease the risk of further swelling, continue following the recommendations for preventing lymphedema listed above. In addition:
- Avoid extreme temperature changes. Do not use hot tubs, whirlpools, saunas, or steam baths. Use warm, rather than very hot, water when bathing or washing dishes. Always wear sun protection (at least SPF 30) when going outdoors.
- When traveling by air, ask your health care provider if you should wear a compression sleeve on your affected arm or a stocking on your affected leg. For long flights, additional bandages may be needed. Talk to your health care provider before traveling.
- When sitting or sleeping, elevate your affected arm or leg on pillows. Avoid prolonged lying on your affected side.
- Your health care provider may refer you to an occupational therapist who specializes in managing lymphedema. The therapist will assess your condition and develop an individual treatment plan to manage your lymphedema.
- Therapy may include specific exercises or a complete exercise program, limitation of certain activities that are vigorous or repetitive, and recommendations for a compression sleeve, bandages, manual lymph drainage, and possibly a lymphadema compression pump.
- Continue to see your health care provider for frequent follow-up visits, as recommended.
What Is The Outlook for Lymphedema?
Lymphedema cannot be cured. However, with proper care and treatment, the affected limb can be restored to a normal size and shape. In addition, lymphedema can usually be treated and controlled so that it does not progress further.
If left untreated, lymphedema can lead to increased swelling and a hardening of the tissue, resulting in decreased function and mobility in the affected limb. It can also lead to chronic infections and other illnesses.
There is also a unique form of cancer, angiosarcoma, that can be associated with lymphedema in rare cases.
It is important to receive treatment promptly for symptoms of lymphedema.

The most frustrating night of Thunder basketball this season came complete with the first ejection of Kevin Durant's career.
You read that right. Kevin Durant got ejected.
The most frustrating night of Thunder basketball this season came complete with the first ejection of Kevin Durant's career.
You read that right. Kevin Durant got ejected.
It was that kind of night Wednesday inside Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Oklahoma City started slow, finished poorly and, ultimately, let frustration boil over, all of which allowed the Brooklyn Nets to blindside the Thunder with an unexpected yet thorough 110-93 thumping.
The loss was the Thunder's worst defeat at home since suffering a 21-point drubbing at the hands of Utah on Halloween 2010. The Nets also snapped the Thunder's league-best 12-game home winning streak and dropped OKC to 24-7 one day after it had regained the league's best record.
"They picked us apart," Durant said.
The lasting image of this long night came when Durant angrily and uncharacteristically barked at referee Dan Crawford and repeatedly waved him off while disputing what Durant perceived to be a no-call with 1:57 left to play. Crawford called a technical foul on Durant for his initial reaction, and then he slapped the three-time scoring champ with a second technical foul, which warrants an automatic ejection, seconds later when Durant continued his expressive protest.
"I said it was a bad call," Durant said when asked what he said to get tossed. "They got a quick trigger now on techs.
"I think I'm allowed to be frustrated, especially in this league (that's) full of ups and downs. Players are allowed to be frustrated. It is what it is. (I'll) move on from it."
The entire team was forced to fight frustration in this one.
The Nets, who had been playing such mediocre ball this season that they fired coach Avery Johnson last week, walked into town and torched the Thunder in all respects. Brooklyn (17-15) shot 50 percent from the field, made nine of 17 3-pointers and connected on 25 of 29 free throws.
In the game's first eight minutes, the Nets led 27-11, a margin that would get worse before it got better.
"We did not have our normal defensive presence in the first quarter and they made us pay for it," said Nick Collison.
The Thunder trailed by as many as 23 and never led after relinquishing a 1-0 lead 50 seconds into the game.
Nets guard Joe Johnson did the bulk of Brooklyn's damage, scoring 20 of his game-high 33 points in the first half and 10 in the fourth quarter to keep a charging OKC squad at bay. Nets center Brook Lopez, who missed the first meeting between these teams, added 25 points on a barrage of mid-range jumpers and drives to the rim. Point guard Deron Williams, meanwhile, orchestrated his team's offense brilliantly, scoring 19 points with 13 assists and only two turnovers.

Kessler's work has always been about juxtaposition, mixing organic and geometric motifs, but for this outing he advances that strategy by using framing devices.

Fairtrade products for Fukushima tsunami victims
"Adversity is the foundation of virtue" (Japanese proverb)
The Japanese earthquake and tsunami may have faded from the front pages of newspapers and browsers, but for survivors and citizens in Japan, people like Saguru Matsuki remind the world that the country is still recovering and every little bit helps.
Matsuki, a Fairtrade certified trader and Lutheran pastor, has been using donations to distribute Fairtrade products to earthquake and tsunami victims of South Soma City in Fukushima. The area was heavily damaged by the earthquake and tsunamI; most of the seaside buildings swept into the ocean and many citizens are still missing.
Over 1000 packs of Fairtrade Nattō, a traditional soybean breakfast food rich in protein and probiotics and a vital source of nutrition, were sent to South Soma City. Over 4500kg of Fairtrade bananas were also distributed, with 3000kg going to local schools.
Twenty-foot containers of Fairtrade pineapples and Fairtrade orange juice were included in the delivery. Over 1000 Fairtrade soccer balls (a necessity for budding soccer champions following Japan's victory in the Women's World Cup) and Fairtrade towels are also on the way.
Matsuki organized the delivery as part of the Fairtrade Wakachiai Project with funding from the Japan Lutheran Emergency Relief. The Fairtrade products came from around the world, including the Philippines, China and Pakistan.

Submission Asetek pitches liquid cooling for laptops->
angry tapir writes: "Asetek has revived the promise of bringing liquid cooling to laptops, which the company is pitching as an alternative to noisy fans. Air fans cool most of laptops today, but the heat they generate has been increasing as computers become faster. Fans are also spinning faster to dissipate heat, making laptops noisier. Asetek said the new liquid-cooling technology is a more efficient system than fans, and will allow PC makers to use faster processors while making laptops quieter."

Our volunteers help the Englewood Art Center promote knowledge, appreciation and development of visual arts in Englewood & surrounding communities.
If you are interested in becoming an EAC volunteer, we are looking for help throughout the season in the following positions:
Plein Air Painting Pop-Up Exhibition at the Englewood Farmer's Market (1 artist per week): Englewood Farmer's Market and RC | EAC are teaming up this season to bring art outside for our season's theme of Celebrating Florida Landscape. If you are interested in exhibiting your work in our pop-up exhibition space on a (single) Thursday, between December 4 - February 26 (excluding December 25 and January 1) please click here for contact and requirement information.
Represent EAC at area events (6 to 8 person team): EAC is often asked to participate in community events (such as pioneer days, ArtSensation and others) but we need more than just the small staff to be able to participate. Volunteers on this team will pass out the schedule and talk to the general public about the Art Center to encourage participation in our classes/workshops, exhibitions and events.
Assist with receptions and events (4 to 6 people): Events and receptions bring lots of new faces to EAC and sometimes the staff cannot get to every person, so we need assistance with greeting visitors, giving tours and keeping the refreshments fresh.
Library (2 people): We have 3 great librarians, but as the Library is used more frequently for meetings and small classes (for example Poetry) we need additional volunteers to help keep the space and the shelves orderly and accurate.
Receiving and Removal for Loranger Gallery (2 people): We have a great system for the Receiving and Removal for Loranger Gallery shows, but we can always use some extra sets of hands and guidance, particularly for people who are entering an EAC show for the first time.
Writing articles for newsletter and collecting print materials about the Art Center (2 to 4 people): When we hear news about our members, instructors and artists, we like to include it in the newsletter. We're looking for people to write short news articles about the people of EAC. In addition, if there are ever print articles about EAC or our constituents, we're looking for help collecting and organizing that information.
Jurors and Judges for Loranger exhibitions (1 or 2 people): We like to keep the judging pool diverse, so we'd love to have a person or two to help recruit and coordinate the judges for these shows. We can often use Ringling College faculty as judges, but of course want to keep local qualified judges involved.
Open Studio Monitors (2 to 4 people): we can use help with open studios on Friday mornings; the Tuesday afternoon Pottery open studio (and a back-up monitor for Thursday mornings); and a studio monitor for the Digital Studio.

Using the well worn clich� that you can't win them all until you win the first one, the Lady Dinos took that first step in their goal to go undefeated in region play by downing the Delta Rabbits 49-28, Tuesday night. They had come off a blowout win over Layton Christian Academy on Friday as a warm-up to region action.
"Not much to say about a game like that," was all Coach Cami Carlson could manage about the lopsided 72-20 victory Carbon had over Layton Christian last Friday night.
"We did everything we could to keep it from getting out of hand. We took the press off early and played everyone, but it was just like they didn't want to guard us at all."
Carbon knew the direction of the game early. Before they could even blink they were up 22-4 and the first quarter was over. It didn't improve for LCA in the second and they headed to the locker room down 30-8.
The carnage continued for Layton as the Dinos couldn't miss.
In the end the much quicker and experienced Dinos were just too much for LCA to have any kind of chance and the game ended with the final score of 72-20.
Megan Garvin had another stellar night. She tied her three point shooting high with six. Garvin ended up with 18 points and seven rebounds. Julia Potts also had a solid performance with 12 points, six rebounds and six steals. Patricia Smith had seven steals and seven points. Felicia Olmos also shot two treys in the game.
Tuesday the Rabbits came ready to play.
Defense ruled in the first quarter as each team struggled to get a shot off. Delta drew first blood quickly, but then could not find the net after that.
The Dinos managed to get things rolling, but had to earn their scores.
They didn't build up a big lead, but kept edging up the margin slowly and surely, gaining confidence as they went. The first quarter lead of 9-4 grew to 18-8 at the half.
The scoring intensity picked up in the third for both teams, but the Dinos continued to be the better team and they had a comfortable lead of 38-21 by the end of the third.
In the fourth with the outcome decided, everybody got some playing time again.
Outside shooter, Megan Garvin sent another four three pointers through the hoop for her 12 points.
Patricia Smith racked up 11 and had five steals. Julia Potts had seven rebounds and eight points with a pair of long balls herself.
Carbon will travel to take on North Sanpete on Thursday night and that game is expected to be a tough one. North Sanpete match-ups have taken on some true intensity in recent seasons and the Dinos expect no less this time around.
The rescheduled game against Morgan that was to take place this Saturday, Jan. 12; will not take place at this time. It is now set for Jan. 18 at 7 p.m. at the Carbon High gym.

Typology of Adherence in Adolescents: Phase II
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
A number of factors influence HIV-positive adolescents' acceptance of and willingness to continue taking anti-HIV medicines. These factors include mental health and substance abuse issues, barriers such as lack of medical insurance, and cognitive-behavioral barriers (such as a person's impression of the impact of the medicines on his/her health and a person's sense of his/her ability to continue taking the medications prescribed). The purpose of this study is to use a survey to determine how common specific barriers are that prevent HIV positive adolescents from taking their anti-HIV medicines and if those barriers cluster together. The information collected will be used to develop and validate a schema for classifying HIV medication adherence by barriers to adherence or clusters of barriers to adherence. This classification schema could then be used in the development of interventions that better meet the needs of HIV-infected youth.
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case Control
Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
|Official Title:
|Typology of Adherence in Adolescents: Phase II
|Study Start Date:
|June 2004
|Study Completion Date:
|April 2005
|Primary Completion Date:
|April 2005 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Infected through risk behaviors
|Infected perinatally or through blood/blood products.
Detailed Description:
As more HIV-infected adolescents are identified and linked into care, the dyad of medication and medication adherence continues to be an issue for both the provider and the patients. Thus, developing a strategy to assess adherence and barriers to adherence in this population is integral so that interventions can be targeted towards adolescents' specific needs. Our operating premise is that the issue of drug adherence is multi-factorial and that interventions that combine a variety of modalities may be preferred. However, before such interventions can be developed, we must first develop a tool that can be used to assess medication adherence and to identify barriers to medication adherence in this population.
This is a cross-sectional survey designed to assess the most prevalent combination of barriers to HIV medication adherence in adolescents. Specific barriers focused on in this study include mental health disorders, substance abuse, and cognitive-behavioral and structural barriers. In this Phase II study, the Adherence Staging Algorithm and the Participant Assessment Tool, pilot tested and modified based on findings from Phase I of the study, will be used to determine the prevalence of the specific barriers to adherence among HIV-infected youth requiring antiretroviral medication and the most common clusters of specific barriers. A cognitive-behavioral barriers schema for classifying HIV medication adherence in adolescents will be developed and validated.
The study consists of a one-time visit with a face-to-face interview to complete two questionnaires: the Adherence Staging Algorithm to classify the subject's adherence to his/her prescribed medications, and the Participant Assessment Tool to assess the prevalence of barriers to adherence that the subjects may have experienced. The interview takes no more than 30 minutes. In addition, the patient's medical record will be reviewed for HIV-related clinical data such as viral load, CD4, history of medications prescribed, and barriers the patient may have experienced such as mental health or substance abuse problems.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|12 Years to 24 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

|Police 'Posers' Rob Elderly Ashe Residents
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 11 October 2010 12:50
Another northwestern incident of a home invasion by law enforcement posers is being reported today by the Ashe County Sheriff's Department, with two suspects entering a home late Saturday night claiming to be law enforcement officers—and dressing the part.
At about 11:15 pm, 2 men—one black and one white— dressed as enforcement officers went to the residence in the Sutherland area of 88 west in Ashe County, telling the three elderly occupants that they were conducting a drug raid. The two forced the three residents into a bedroom—the white male staying with them while the black male went through the house—and on leaving, the victims were told to stay in the bedroom, and that the two would be back with a drug dog around 3 am to search further search. The two took money and guns from the home. Ashe Sheriff James Williams described suspect number one as white male, weight around 150 lbs, 5'5" tall, in his mid thirties with full head of brown hair, black tactical vest with silver police badge and black pistol in holster made into the vest. Suspect number 2 was described as a black male, 140-150 lbs, 5'7" tall, in his mid 20's to mid 30's, with a short hair. He was wearing a black t-shirt with POLICE in white letters on the back. Both men had black fishnet face masks over their heads and face. Both were armed with handguns in black holsters. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Ashe County Sheriff's Office at 336-846-5633 or crime stoppers at 336-846-4188. All information will be kept confidential.

Stylish Ways to Display Black + White PhotosWednesday, January 23rd, 2013
I met a friend at her house a few weeks ago, she has four cute kids and an empty hallway, and she was asking what to do with the "blankness" of it all. I'm a big believer in "bigger is better, make a statement!" when it comes to displaying photographs, and you cannot go wrong with black and white – they are undeniably classic and oh so sophisticated when gathered in a group on display.
For her hallway, I suggested four extra large black frames and white mats with their darling faces enlarged and all four hung in a grid; or a simple hallway collage like this one I created for another friend years ago.
But it got me thinking…beyond the hallway, there are multiple ways to display black and white photographs, it just depends on the space and whether you prefer a more eclectic and asymmetric display, or if you favor a symmetric or streamlined look.
Symmetry is the easiest look to pull off, just gather up the same size frames in a grid – bonus points for large off-center mats, and then hang your favorites in a series. The bigger frames and mats are an investment but worth it, the look is timeless.
The best part about a gallery like this is you can change out the photos as you please since photography enlargements are so affordable. Showcase your favorite vacation, your wedding, silly faces, your family members, whatever is meaningful.
This image has been seen by many, but it's still one of my favorites. It took some thought to achieve the look, but I love how this display keeps your eye moving around and yet it is still so well balanced. Notice the mix of black and white frames in different sizes and that one black mat thrown into the mix, all of it hung on a blue painted plank wall – lovely.

LAMOINE, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- In late October Lori Tilden lost three family members. Her son, Leon, shot and killed her husband Rob and her brother Russell, and then police shot and killed Leon.
To help Lori and her surviving son Ben during this time, residents in and around Lamoine have banded together and created a fundraiser to help the Tilden family.
The gymnasium at the Lamoine Consolidated School is full of people for the craft fair on Saturday morning, but one booth in particular is extremely busy.
Jen Reynolds and Amanda Fennelly have put together a fundraiser by selling raffle tickets and baked goods to help Lori Tilden and her son Ben.
"If we can do something to help them pay their bills and have heat this winter and make them as comfortable as possible, it's the right thing to do," Fennelly said.
After Reynolds and Fennelly teamed up to put on this fundraiser, it started gaining momentum through the power of Facebook.
"I sent almost every message through Facebook to business owners. And I created the event on Facebook and through the power of people sharing, within two hours of me creating a poster, a woman called me from Portland, it reached Portland in two hours," Fennelly said.
Reynolds and Fennelly both said they are overwhelmed by the amount of support the community is showing.
"It just seems like there's more people like, oh can I donate this? Can I donate that? It's amazing, it really is," Reynolds said.
"This community is awesome. We stand behind each other 100 percent and it is so nice to know that you've got people you can count on when you're going through a hard time. It's overwhelming," Fennelly said.
Each purchase adds to the growing support for the fundraiser which Reynolds said has been better than she thought it would be.
"It beats like 100 fold. It's just amazing how much support. I mean it's overwhelming it really is," Reynolds said.

CUMBERLAND ŌĆō Before looking ahead to what could result in an unusual five-way tie for first place in the Division II-B ranks once the regular season ends this weekend, itŌĆÖs time to take a history lesson and look back to the last (and only other) time this happened in the state.
In 2008, Tolman, Woonsocket, West Warwick, Warwick Vets, and Westerly found themselves tied for first place in the Division II-A standings with 5-2 records and scratching their heads over which were going to be the four that would play in the following weekendŌĆÖs opening round of the playoffs.
According to Section 5, Chapter A of the football bylaws of the RIIL (Rhode Island Interscholastic League), the pool records of the five teams were to be the first tiebreaker. But the five teams each finished with 2-2 marks, posting their other three wins against the other non-playoff teams.
That brought the next tiebreaker ŌĆō quality points. Each team earned a quality point based on the number of wins of the division opponents they defeated. Again, each school ended up with the same number (13), and again, another tiebreaker was needed.
And it was that next tiebreaker that decided everything ŌĆō the total defensive points allowed in the contests between the five teams involved. If one team had given up the fewest points, then that team would win the tiebreaker and earn the divisionŌĆÖs top seed. That meant West Warwick, which gave up only 70 points in its four games, was the lucky recipient.
As for the other four teams, they had to revert back to the first tiebreaker and recalculate their pool play records. That meant Tolman and Westerly, with 2-1 pool play records, were the next two seeds.
Woonsocket and Vets were next with 1-2 marks, but because the Hurricanes topped the Villa Novans, 26-7, they had the head-to-head tiebreaker and the fourth and final seed, thus leaving Woonsocket on the outside looking in.
Now letŌĆÖs return to the present and view the state of affairs in Division II-B. Cumberland currently sits in first place with a 5-1 mark, while St. Raphael, Rogers, North Kingstown, and West Warwick are tied for second place with 4-2 records.
The Clippers will have their hands full tonight at 7 at Tucker Field when the defending champions host the Wizards, who have won their last four games (five if you count their non-league win three weekends ago against Warwick Vets), but the Saints, Vikings, and Skippers will close out their schedules by facing the bottom three teams in the league, Pilgrim, Central, and Shea.
If Cumberland loses to West Warwick, and SRA, Rogers, N.K., as expected, take care of business in their games, that means a five-way tie for first place and flashbacks of 2008.
And how does that break out? Like 2008, you can throw out the pool records ŌĆō each team finished 2-2 ŌĆō as well as the quality points (13). That leaves the total defensive points allowed between the five schools, and thatŌĆÖs where the ClippersŌĆÖ showdown with the Wizards comes into play.
If West Warwick defeats the Clippers and allows them to score fewer than 20 points, then the Wizards are the top seed. To date, the Wizards have allowed just 55 points, while Rogers and Cumberland have the second-most with 75. Since the Clippers obviously canŌĆÖt lose a game and give up zero points in the process, they would not factor in the scenario.
As for the pool records to determine the last four seeds, the Clippers and the Vikings would have 2-1 records, with Cumberland earning the second seed for beating Rogers earlier in the season. SRA and N.K. would be next at 1-2, and because the Saints topped the Skippers, they would be the final seed and the Skippers would be out of the picture.
However, if West Warwick wins tonight and surrenders more than 20 points to the Clippers, then things get a bit odd. Rogers (and its 75 points allowed) lands the top seed. SRA and N.K. claim the next two (with 2-1 pool records, and the Saints earning the second seed for defeating the Skippers), and West Warwick earns the final seed for its head-to-head win over Cumberland.
That obviously means that the Clippers are out, sharing the same cruel fate that their Thanksgiving rivals endured five years ago ŌĆō a 5-2 division record and no postseason berth to show for their fine season.
ŌĆ£I made my kids aware of the fact that there is a formula that we follow and so on,ŌĆØ said Cumberland head coach Chris Skurka. ŌĆ£I told them, ŌĆśIf we lose, there is a possibility of us not being in the playoffs. But letŌĆÖs not worry about that. LetŌĆÖs just go out, play the game, and take care of our own business, and if we do that, itŌĆÖs not going to be a problem.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
The total defensive points allowed tiebreaker raises a very interesting point. What if the Clippers are losing to the Hurricanes? What if they are down by a 26-18 score in the last two minutes with the ball inside the HurricanesŌĆÖ 40? Would they roll the dice and play for the win, or play it safe, try not to score and lose the game, and settle for the second seed?
ŌĆ£I canŌĆÖt answer that right now,ŌĆØ said Skurka.
Of course, the Clippers could make life easier for themselves and simply win the game, thus eliminating the Wizards from the playoff hunt. Rogers would then be the No. 2 seed for its wins over SRA and N.K., and the Saints would lock up the third seed for topping the Skippers.
If the Wizards beat the Clippers, but the Vikings, Saints, or Skippers endure an upset loss, then the Clippers would be in the playoffs and the remaining four teams would be seeded according to the RIIL bylaws, but the Clippers, to a man, would rather control their own destiny and beat a very good team to punch their ticket to the tournament.
ŌĆ£This is a playoff game for us,ŌĆØ said Skurka. ŌĆ£(West Warwick) is a very good team. At the beginning of the year, they were one of the favorites to win the division. They have been playing very well as of late, and theyŌĆÖre the hottest team in the division. This is going to be a very good game.ŌĆØ
The other three Division II-B games take place tonight at 7 p.m., with Shea visiting N.K., St. Raphael heading to Warwick to battle Pilgrim, and Central taking on Rogers at NewportŌĆÖs historic Toppa Field.
The Saints have the easiest game of the bunch, encountering a woeful Patriot team that has been outscored 271-46 in its six league losses (including 117-0 in back-to-back setbacks to the Clippers and Vikings), lost its last 14 league games, and dealing with a lack of personnel. Two weekends ago against the Clippers, the Patriots only dressed 21 players.
If thereŌĆÖs one upset that could occur in these three contests, it could come in the RaidersŌĆÖ game with the Skippers. Even though the Raiders are 2-4, they have been down to the wire in every game but a 28-7 defeat to the Wizards. Their other three losses have come by a total of 16 points.
Two other Blackstone Valley teams also remain alive in their respective bids for a playoff berth and will be in action this weekend. North Smithfield hosts Smithfield in a Division IV matchup tonight at 6 p.m., while in Division III, Burrillville faces Moses Brown tomorrow at 10:30 a.m.
With unbeaten Exeter/West Greenwich and North Providence already locked into two of the four Division IV tournament spots, that means N.S. (2-2) and Smithfield (3-2), along with Hope (3-3) and Scituate (2-2), are vying for the last two berths.
The Northmen, who havenŌĆÖt played a league contest since Oct. 19 and have enjoyed two byes in the last four weeks, could insert a dent in the SentinelsŌĆÖ playoff hopes with a win tonight. SmithfieldŌĆÖs final game is on Thanksgiving against N.P.
A key to the NorthmenŌĆÖs success will be the play of their defense. Smithfield has had its problems scoring points this year ŌĆō its 72 points are the second-lowest in the division, and 28 of them came in last weekendŌĆÖs rout of winless Providence Country Day/Wheeler/Juanita Sanchez.
Burrillville, meanwhile, is 3-3 and in a three-way tie for fifth place with East Greenwich and Narragansett, and Moses Brown is 6-1 and trailing unbeaten Mount Pleasant in the standings.
Back-to-back wins over Tiverton and Lincoln have kept the Broncos in the playoff picture, and an impressive win over the Quakers would be just what the doctor ordered. A loss to the Quakers would still mathematically keep the BroncosŌĆÖ playoff hopes alive, but on life support.
Moses Brown comes into the game with four straight wins and arguably the divisionŌĆÖs best defense. They have allowed just 41 points in league play.
As for the rest of the weekendŌĆÖs schedule, Woonsocket, which is a perfect 6-0 in Division II-A action and assured of a top seed in the upcoming playoffs, will visit Coventry (one of three 3-3 teams tied for fourth place) tonight at 7 p.m. and look to snuff out their playoff hopes.
Also tonight at 7, winless Tolman will take on one-win South Kingstown in a Division I affair at the Curtis Corner Middle School, and Central Falls will take a few steps over the Connecticut line to face Plainfield High in a non-league meeting.
In a Division III game on Saturday at noon, Lincoln (1-6) will face Classical (4-2) at the Morro Athletic Complex.
