The next chapter in an ongoing Jefferson County saga is about to begin.
Jefferson County District Attorney Cindy F. Intschert will ask County Court this week if her office should seek a special prosecutor to look into how the Sheriffs Department handled a case in which one of its deputies is suspected of drunken driving.
I do intend to make an application to determine whether this office has a conflict of interest that would require the appointment of a special prosecutor to review the departments handling of the alleged incidents of Dec. 1 or whether the decision of what, if any, further review or action to be taken should remain with this office, Ms. Intschert said.
Sheriff John P. Burns told the Times that Ms. Intschert told him of her plans during a Monday morning phone conversation.
Im all for it. Lets get it over and done with, Mr. Burns said, asserting that his department has taken all the correct steps and has done nothing wrong in its handling of the case.
That case, which prompted the county Board of Legislators to request an independent investigation by the state attorney generals office, involves Deputy Adam B. Hallett, who was found unresponsive in his patrol vehicle off the side of the road in the town of Henderson several hours after he went off duty Dec. 1.
Investigations into the incident by Mr. Burns and county attorney David J. Paulsen revealed that Deputy Hallett had a bottle of Jim Beam Red Stag bourbon whiskey in his vehicles center console and that proper law enforcement procedures were not followed at the scene.
That bottle was thrown into a field after it was discovered by Deputy Matthew A. Vaughn, who noted that it appeared to have been opened when he removed it from the vehicle.
Deputies Hallett and Vaughn were the subject of internal disciplinary action within the department but no criminal charges were ever filed, and both remain on duty.
The decision by Mrs. Intschert came shortly after the state attorney generals office opted not to get involved with the case beyond meeting with the sheriff about his policies and procedures.
In a letter to the county Legislature, Deanna R. Nelson, the assistant attorney general in charge of the Watertown office, emphasized that the county had the power and jurisdiction to prosecute the case on its own.
Michelle C. Hook, a spokeswoman for the attorney generals office, said the case did not merit the involvement of the attorney general, based on the information provided by the county.
A report based on Ms. Nelsons meeting with Mr. Burns identified three major deficiencies in the department: a lack of a clear procedure to follow when staff are involved in potential misconduct, a lack of performance evaluations, and a lack of an accreditation program that would provide professional review and recommendations on an ongoing basis.
Mr. Burns said that he was happy with the suggestions in the report and that he had been working on instituting those policies for some time.
Legislators, however, were not satisfied with the response from the attorney generals office and pledged to pursue other options to resolve the matter.
I know what happened in December seems like a long time ago, but the people of the county have asked for this and they deserve answers, Legislature Chairwoman Carolyn D. Fitzpatrick said.
The Legislature was largely underwhelmed with the report from the attorney generals office.
I believe the report does give the opportunity to go in the right direction to help the sheriff, Mrs. Fitzpatrick said. But when the Sheriffs Department discusses the need for more training Im going to say, Training or no training, many of the individual officers in this situation knew right from wrong from the start. All the training in the world wasnt going to change their minds when they made the right or wrong decision.
Depending on the determination of the court, either Ms. Intschert or the special prosecutor will decide whether to bring the case before a grand jury.
A grand jury can bring criminal charges against the individuals involved in the incident.

A federal Judge in Ohio ruled on Monday that a former Democratic Congressman is permitted to proceed with a lawsuit against a pro-life group that he claims defamed him during his campaign. Analysts say the case may test the bounds of free speech.
According to former Rep. Steve Driehaus, the Susan B. Anthony List contributed to his election loss because they "disseminated lies" about him regarding his record on abortion issues. He claims they caused him "reputational" and "economic" harm.
Driehaus' complaint focuses on statements and advertisements that argued Driehaus was not a pro-life lawmaker, since he voted for taxpayer-funded abortion as part of the healthcare overhaul.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
After years of discussion about a variety of possible mergers between Sunnyside and East Carbon City, local officials have finally decided on a committee which will work to combine the cities' fire and ambulance services.
Sunnyside and East Carbon officials agreed to have the cities' mayors, their fire chiefs and one council member make up a board to work out the details.
According to Sunnyside Mayor Doug Parsons, his city's committee will be comprised of council member Nola Porter, Fire Chief Gene Madrid and Parsons himself.
"Nola is already overseeing the business of our fire department," explained Parsons. "So she seemed like the obvious choice to become a part of this committee."
East Carbon officials will not have the opportunity to select their committee members until their next session on Feb. 29. However, the committee is planning to start meeting as soon as the board is made whole.
"We would like to get this process moving as soon as we can," continued the Sunnyside mayor. "There are many issues which the board will have to go through and the sooner they can start meeting the better."
According to Parsons, budget matters will be one of the first issues the board will have to go through. For instance, members of the Sunnyside and East Carbon fire departments are provided stipend at different rates, an issue that will have to be addressed before the municipalities can move forward. Additionally, the mayor stated that he didn't feel a seventh tie-breaking committee member was necessary in the formation of the board.
"Most likely the board will also be charged with deciding who the new district's chief will be," said the Sunnyside mayor. "They will also set the tax rate which the new district will charge."
Because the district will encompass both cities, public hearings and a final referendum vote will have to take place among the area's residents before the district can be officially formed.
"I really think this district will benefit the residents of both cities," continued Parsons. "As this process moves forward support should come not only from area officials but from the local population as well."
Both cities have reported that they do see benefits to bring their public safety teams under one roof, however for Sunnyside the issue also has financial ramifications. Due to the fact that the city's largest tax contributor has paid this year's taxes under protest, the local municipality has had to put aside a large some of their budget, meaning that many services may see cuts.
"The ambulance service is something that both communities value greatly," concluded Parsons. "And this merger will be a great way to insure the viability of that service."

The final OFA-Massena football game under the lights of the Blue Devils Alton W. Elliott Athletic Complex was staged on Friday night.
It will rank among the best, as far as the host school is concerned, after the Blue Devils rode an inspired comeback from a 20-7 deficit to a 25-20 victory in a match of two 3-0 teams.
Next fall OFA will play its home games on an all-weather turf field which its now taking shape opposite the Golden Dome.
We have to remember that this is only the fourth week of the season but this was just a great victory, said OFA Coach Matt Tessmer who will have his team at home on Friday against another unbeaten opponent in Potsdam.
We overcame a lot of adversity tonight and we were able to shut out a very good Massena team in the second half. I am just so proud of everyone especially the younger players who really stepped up.
The host Devils trailed 20-7 late in the second quarter but marched 81 yards to the endzone to score with 22.1 seconds remaining before intermission when quarterback Joey Dalton (15x26-1-175 3 TDs) pitched his second touchdown of the half five yards to Nick Sweeney to cut the deficit to 20-13. Dalton had found Sweeney for a 10-yard scoring pass in the first quarter and Sweeney set up the score with an interception.
The Raiders had rolled out to the 20-7 lead with stunning quickness.
Halfback JP Reagan (22 rushes for 142 yards) scored on a 50-yard run on his first carry of the night. Connor Paquin blocked a punt and recovered it in the endzone early in the second quarter and Jayce Lanning kicked his second PAT of the night. Then Reagan found the endzone for a second time on a 14-yard run set up by an interception by Matt Thibault.
After scoring in the closing seconds of the half, the Devils energized the momentum by taking the second half kickoff to the endzone on a ball control drive which consumed over seven minutes of the clock. Fullback Jordan McCormick (24-81) showed second-effort running to key the drive and the senior climaxed it with a one-yard plunge.
I owe all my yardage to my offensive line. They blocked better than awesome, said McCormick who also played a key role in the Devils defensive effort in the second half and turned a swing pass into a 40-yard gain to ignite the dramatic winning drive.
A drive which climaxed with Hail Mary and Sign of the Cross connections between Dalton and wingback Jon Rogers.
Facing a fourth and long with 1:32 to play, Dalton lofted a 21-yard pass which a leaping Rogers snared in a crowd at the 12-yard line.
Facing a fourth and 14 at the 21 yard line, Dalton found Rogers (3 catches for 50 yards) on a crossing route over the middle and the junior took the ball into the endzone with just 59.7 seconds to play.
On the first pass Joey threw it up and I was just lucky enough to come down with the ball, said Rogers. On the second I ran a slant and Joey threw a perfect pass and all I just had to do was catch it.
A blitzing OFA defense, which mounted consistent pressure on Massena quarterback Rory Corcoran throughout the game, sealed the victory with 29 seconds remaining when linebacker Joe Loffler stripped the ball from a Raider receiver and tackle Jacob King covered it in a swarm of players.
This is not the end of the world for us. We have a long way to go this season. Nothing has changed for us. We have to go to practice Monday and work to get better, said Massena Coach Anthony Diagostino. OFA played very well tonight and got the victory.
NOTES: Jon Tayler delivered four timely receptions for OFA...QB Rory Corcoran (6-49 rushing) played a catalysts role for Massena in the first half, extending plays with his scrambling abilities...OFAs Jordan McCormick and Owen Pearson and Massena defensive tackle Nolan Terrance and rangy linebacker Isaiah Dillabough all had sacks.

CANTON Use of a prescription drug discount card has dropped, a trend St. Lawrence County officials hope to counteract.
ProAct, a division of Kinney Drugs, started the drug discount program in 2005 as a way to help uninsured residents pay for prescriptions.
No one has to pay the full cash price for their prescriptions, communications coordinator Terrance ONeill told county legislators recently.
The discount card cannot be used in conjunction with health insurance, but it can help pay for some prescriptions that are not covered. It can be a benefit for those with a high deductible and those who have no insurance.
Through 2011, ProAct has processed 367,692 claims and saved county residents more than $7 million, Mr. ONeill said. St. Lawrence County has the second highest savings in the state.
In 2012, ProAct processed 50,304 claims in the county, a dip from the previous year, when it handled about 57,000 claims, and from 2010, when more than 60,000 claims were filed.
We are seeing a slight decrease in utilization, Mr. ONeill said.
The decline could be because residents are finding jobs that offer them prescription drug coverage or because they have moved away while others are unaware of the program.
We want to increase and promote awareness, Mr. ONeill said. Word of mouth is extremely important.
Legislators agreed to have pamphlets on the program available at county offices and to have them distributed to service clubs and sites where meals are provided.
That would get it out to the truly needy people, said Legislator Joseph R. Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg.

How the R.A. Dickey trade went down, rumor by rumor......
11:20 am: The Mets have reviewed the medical reports on Travis d'Arnaud's knee and are not concerned (Passan, Yahoo! Sports).
9:54 am: The deal is expected to be complete within 24 hours, and Toronto is still hoping Dickey signs an extension with them (Bowden, ESPN).
7:23 am: If this deal goes through, the broad perception in the game is that this is a great deal for the Mets (Olney, ESPN).
9:52 pm: While the deal is not final and the Blue Jays will not complete the deal until Dickey signs a two-year extension, "most of the legwork is done" (Sherman, NY Post).
9:40 pm: The Blue Jays could add cash to the deal or another prospect to cover the cost of Buck's $6 million salary for 2013 (Sherman, NY Post).
5:34 pm: d'Arnaud is the best catching prospect in baseball, (team official to Star-Ledger).
5:29 pm: d'Arnaud is the best position-player prospect in baseball, (MLB scout to Daily News).
5:15 pm: WFAN's Ed Coleman said on air that he was told yesterday that this deal may not get finalized until late Sunday.
5:07 pm: There is continued chatter that Thole is in the deal (Martino, Daily News).
3:15 pm: The Mets would send Dickey, and maybe Josh Thole and another player to Toronto, who would send Travis d'Arnaud, John Buck, and top Minor League prospect Noah Syndergaard and another player to the Mets (Puma, NY Post).
12:44 pm: Blue Jays and Mets are still working to finalize a deal; the Jays are willing to include d'Arnaud, but not with Gose; once players are agreed to, Dickey will talk about a contract extension (Heyman, CBS Sports).
12:04 pm: To get d'Arnaud and Gose in the same deal, the Mets need to part with a top prospect (plus Dickey) and Dickey must agree to a contract extension (Griffin, Toronto Star).
11:40 am: Anthony Gose is not a part of the deal, though D'Arnaud is (Sherman, New York Post).
11:08 am: The Blue Jays will not trade d'Arnaud to the Blue Jays unless Dickey signs an extension. He was reluctant to sign with Toronto yesterday, but there's confidence he will do it today (Sherman, New York Post).
9:33 am: Travis d'Arnaud and Anthony Gose are involved in the deal, although it's unclear who else might be involved with both teams (Martino, NYDN).
8:22 am: The Blue Jays want to at least talk with Dickey about a contract extension once the medical reports have been reviewed, though it's doubtful he inks a new contract (Matthew Cerrone).
8:18 am: The Mets and Blue Jays have agreed to the players in the trade, although no specifics are available at this time (Heyman, CBS Sports).
8:03 am: The Blue Jays have been reviewing Dickey's medical reports since at least yesterday (Martino, NYDN).
12:10 am: The basic deal is likely to be Gose and d'Arnaud or Arencibia for Dickey, with other players involved (Heyman, WFAN).
12:06 am: Gose is likely to be included in the deal (Rosenthal, Morosi, FoxSports).
December 14
11:30 pm: d'Arnaud is very much in play in a deal for Dickey, which could also include multiple pieces going both ways (Rosenthal, FoxSports).
10:47 pm: Mets and Jays are close to a deal, as was the case earlier, but still no agreement is in place (Morosi, FoxSports).
10:36 pm: Though sources wouldn't rule out the Angels and O's, the Blue Jays emerged as the front-runners today after a flurry of teams contacted the Mets about Dickey (Carig, Newsday).
10:14 pm: "To get d'Arnaud, I always heard it would take more than just Niese or Dickey, so there's a chance more Mets could be involved in the deal" (Matthew Cerrone).
8:00 pm: The Mets may be getting d'Arnaud from the Blue Jays (Heyman, CBSSports).
8:00 pm: "Gut feeling is d'Arnaud is in deal," according to person involved (Martino, Daily News).
8:00 pm: Jays had been insisting on Niese, not Dickey, in talks for d'Arnaud, so I'm fascinated by how this might be playing out (Matthew Cerrone).
6:54 pm: Orioles talked with Mets about Dickey, but saw no fit (Connoly, Baltimore Sun).
6:35 pm: The Mets do not expect a resolution to Dickey's situation tonight (Carig, Newsday).
6:09 pm: Do not expect a resolution tonight, two people involved have said (DiComo, MLB.com).
5:35 pm: Mets must have a good offer from the Blue Jays, but it's not done, since they're still talking with at least the Angels and Orioles (Matthew Cerrone).
5:33 pm: Blue Jays and Mets have made progress, but have yet to reach an agreement (Morosi, FoxSports).
5:22 pm: High-level executive from a team that pursued Dickey believes he is being traded to Toronto (Morosi, FoxSports).

4:47 pm: The Rangers are not involved in trade talks for Dickey (T.R. Sullivan, MLB.com).
4:45 pm: Rangers are out, never offered both Mike Olt and pitching prospect Cody Buckel (Ken Rosenthal, FoxSports).
4:42 pm: Blue Jays entered the day believing that Dickey could be theirs in 24-48 hours (Davidoff, New York Post).
4:36 pm: Blue Jays are strong front runners (Andy Martino, Daily News).
4:32 pm: Angels still had interest this morning, but will first shop DH Kendry Morales in an effort to get a pitcher (Matthew Cerrone).
4:30 pm: Blue Jays prefer Jon Niese in a deal for C Travis d'Arnaud, but will move OF Anthony Gose and C J.P. Arencibia in a deal for Dickey, though Mets might need to give up a pitching prospect to get it done (Matthew Cerrone).
3:58 pm: Dickey will not do a contract extension with the Blue Jays (Sherman, New York Post).
3:55 pm: Mets have not talked about a contract with Dickey since Wednesday (Martino, Daily News).

News and Notes from Mike Pettine
Jets Defensive Coordinator Mike Pettine had an online chat with fans on the Jets Official Website last night. He gave some very interesting nuggets. Read below for a recap.
For starters (no pun intended), Pettine confirmed what we have been speculating since he signed. Yeremiah Bell will play, and play a lot. "Bell will absolutely start at safety this year. We were blessed to have a guy of his experience come in," Pettine said.
"He's no-nonsense and he's a leader," Pettine said of the former Dolphin. "If a guy's straying off the path that he should be on, you can tell that he's not going to be afraid to point it out.
"We're excited to have three not only just skilled athletically but three physically skilled from a hitting standpoint — I think our group of safeties will have the ability to intimidate a little bit. Eric Smith has had his share of highlight-reel hits over the years and Landry has certainly done the same as well as Yeremiah.
"Given our corners outside and having the ability to maybe get the ball funneled to the middle of the field, I think we'll cause some issues around the league with receivers not necessarily wanting to catch the ball over the middle."
While Jets fan favorite Aaron Maybin has been improving there is still room for improvement according to Pettine, "We've been working with Maybin to develop more interior moves. The ability to, if a tackle does overset on a speed move, that he can counter back inside."
Despite the fact that he is on his way to jail, Kenrick Ellis is one of two players that has really impressed Pettine. "There are two players who jump out to me already defensively. Kenrick Ellis is one. He's dropped a bunch of weight and he's just done a tremendous job in the offseason," Pettine said. "He looks like a different guy running around out there. And then the other guy that's hard to recognize is Bart. He's dropped close to 20 pounds. He's running around like a young Bart."
What about the rookies? "Quinton Coples is an explosive athlete. He has a tremendous get-off — he's a guy that jumps off the tape when we're watching the practice film," he said. "The other guy, Demario Davis. is an explosive athlete. He's the type of guy we needed to add, that type of linebacker who can cover a tight end but still can have linebacker-type responsibilities against the run."
While Pettine is the Jets Defensive Coordinator, he likes what he is seeing from Tony Sparano on offense. "Just from an excitement standpoint of how we are in our own room defensively and then what we see going on on the other side of the ball — just the attitude, the tempo in practice, them getting in and out of the huddle and the spirit over there," he said. "You look at Tony and the rest of the offensive staff, at how hard they're working their guys. It's a no-nonsense group and they get after them pretty good and that's exciting for our guys to see.
"They realize that we're going to have to hold up our end of the bargain in practice or else we're going to get embarrassed. It's one thing that we have always prided ourselves on in practice that we were going to get after our offense, and our guys know that it's going to be a little bit of a taller task this year."
Pettine is also excited about to lesser known guys. Ricky Sapp, said Pettine, is "a guy a lot of Jets fans don't know about who came from Clemson and he had a knee injury late in his career. He spent most of last year rehabbing from it and he's a guy who definitely has increased our team speed up front."
"As far as the fourth corner spot, I would have to say at this point, there is a young kid name by the name of Ellis Lankster who played primarily special teams for us a year ago. He's done a real nice job for us and he's taking on a bigger role."
For those of you who don't know Lankster, check out my story on him here. A nice kid overcoming severe obstacles, it is hard not to feel good for Lankster, who according to Pettine will have a much bigger role on defense this season. If his past is any indicative of the future, we should expect to see Lankster succeed as the fourth cornerback for the New York Jets this upcoming season.

FORT DRUM Tuesday was not a long workday for Amanda L. Craig, a civilian optometric technician with the post medical department.
Scheduled for a vacation day, she received a text message from her supervisor informing her that she needed to come to work. She is getting furloughed and needed to sign paperwork making it official. Coming in from her home in Champion, she was in and out within 20 minutes.
She described the mood in her office as pretty somber, since she and other workers had just endured six unpaid furlough days this summer because of federal budget cuts. Even before the new furloughs, this time because of the government shutdown, Mrs. Craig said the optometry office was struggling to keep up with a packed schedule, booked more than a month in advance, with a reduced staff. The staff, which includes only one optometrist for the entire installation, faces a rush of 3rd Brigade Combat Team soldiers making last-minute preparations before deploying to Afghanistan.
Were doing the best we can, Mrs. Craig said. It gets harder and harder.
She has a simple wish for members of Congress who have not made an agreement to fund the government: that they get as many unpaid work days as furloughed federal workers.
I think this would get settled a lot sooner if they did, Mrs. Craig said. This is just ridiculous.
Mrs. Craig is one of hundreds of employees, representing about 42.5 percent of the posts civilian workforce, who started emergency furloughs Tuesday.
The shutdown also threatens some services.
Maj. Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, post and 10th Mountain Division commander, acknowledged in a statement released Tuesday morning that these are difficult times.
This lapse will challenge us; however, it is imperative that we recognize that it is not a reflection of our dedication to mission, Gen. Townsend said. Time and again, we have proven that we are the toughest and most resilient in the Army. I have no doubt that we will continue to meet our mission and maintain the highest levels of readiness.
The furlough numbers were compiled from both the post and its largest employee union Tuesday.
The post said that about 250 of the approximately 790 garrison employees were furloughed. About 324 of 560 medical workers, representing 58 percent of the medical department, also were sent home early, according to Jeffrey W. Zuhlke, president of American Federation of Government Employees Local 400.
Furloughed employees were sent home within four hours of arrival at work.
The post announced Tuesday that the commissary will be closed from today until the end of the shutdown. It also said its medical operations will continue with reduced staff, and will have few disruptions if the shutdown ends within a few days. Most activities of the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation office, including child care, will continue.
Many civilian workers are avoiding the cuts due to large number of troops returning from and heading to Afghanistan. The post is welcoming home thousands of soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Brigade Combat Teams, and the 3rd Brigade Combat Team is deploying with about 2,000 personnel. Exempted workers will be paid only after the shutdown ends.
It would take a separate act of Congress to reimburse unexempted workers for lost pay.
Its one hit after another, Mr. Zuhlke said. Its almost like theyre trying to chase people out of federal service.
The lost pay is bad news for Mrs. Craig, who said she recently learned a seasonal job she usually takes at the Salmon Run Mall will not be available this year. Her two children, ages 19 and 18, hope to begin college locally in January.
Great timing, she said. More bills to pay.
Her husband, a government contractor, has seen layoffs at his company because of reduced government spending.
Now, Im hoping his job isnt affected, she said.
In addition to her two jobs, Mrs. Craig also operates a riding horse farm in Champion, which has five horses.
Horses still have to eat, she said. They dont know the meaning of furlough.
The shutdown also is affecting the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County, which has 20 employees who work on a contract basis on post through Army Community Services. Executive Director Kevin J. Jordan said all of his employees were laid off Tuesday.
As far as I know, ACR is still functioning, but at a reduced level, he said. Our hope is this will be short-lived.
Working alongside federal employees, the 20 extension workers helped Fort Drum families understand deployment and consumer finance, and participated in various education programs. Mr. Jordan said hundreds to thousands of people are helped through ACR services each year.
The extension office also receives some federal money through Cornell University, Ithaca, as well as various state departments, but we havent been made aware of any effect on them, yet.
A lot of this is a trickle-down effect from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Mr. Jordan said. A lot of this depends on how long this lasts.
A media inquiry made Monday to the state USDA office about the shutdown issue was referred to the Office of Management and Budget.

Comments about Elevate II Adjusta:
This desk really works great, if you feel like you are sitting all day, the freedom of being able to stand for a bit doesn't sound like a lot, but it really makes a difference.
By Bradly
from Portland, OR
I really enjoy the flexibility of this desk. To be able to sit and stand while working has been great. The fine adjustments that I can make on the forward work surface had help me maintain an ergonomic setting for my keyboard and mouse.
By Paul the Gamer
from Virginia Beach, VA
As a 6'4" tall person, it's tough marrying a computer chair that I fit in, to a computer desk that I can fit at. I had gone through all the office stores looking for the right desk to fit me.
Finally, I saw the Elevate II and decided to spend a little more than normal to pick up one. Boy was I happy with the purchase.
First, the unboxing, everything that you need to assemble is included which is pretty classy. And it's not just some cheap tool!
Assembly was tricky with one person, but that's nothing new. The instructions were clear.
What I love about the desk is it's flexibility and stability. Keyboard trays are notoriously wobbly and not wide enough to support a keyboard and mouse properly. But with this desk, everything fits, with room for your diet coke and hot pocket!
I purchased the smallest option (I have a tight gaming area) but it still holds a 30" display with no issues.
In combination with an ergnomic chair, it's hard to get a better fit. I definitely reccomend.
Save an intern. Buy a standing desk.
See an unusual benefit the Elevate II has to offer!

The National Inflation Association has issued new warnings about an impending rise in inflation and provided more suggestions about protecting families and assets in difficult times.
For a long time, the organization has been encouraging Americans to invest in gold and avoid holding their assets in U.S. dollars.
Now it also suggests moving away from major cities and into a less densely populated area may be a good idea because when prices start spiraling out of control, leading to food scarcity and a law and order breakdown, there will likely be a massive exodus from cities.
"With food prices likely to soar most during hyperinflation, agriculture will be the best business to be in for decades to come," the organization predicts.
"Consider going to a farming school, or at least practicing how to plant a garden," it adds, suggesting moreover that skills such as sewing to make own clothes may be very useful during hyperinflation.
Moreover, learning to be frugal – which may include cutting out coupons and saving energy by switching off the lights when leaving a room – may also prepare families for future privations.
On the positive side, NIA sees investment opportunities in precious metals or agricultural products companies.
Stressing that gold is on its way to break the $1,000 per ounce level, it advises that, "the mainstream media won't begin recommending the investment into gold until it reaches $2,000 per ounce, at which time a mania will begin that will be bigger than the dot-com and real estate booms combined."

Invitation to a Beheading By Vladimir Nabokov Translated by Dmitri Nabokov (Putnam's; $3.95) In his autobiography, Conclusive Evidence, Vladimir Nabokov devotes a few pages to discussing the emigre Russian writers whom he knew in Berlin and Paris before 1939: Bunin, Poplavski, Rodasevich, "But," he goes on, Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padd
The Mansion By William Faulkner (Random House, $4.75) The Snopeses have always been there. No sooner did Faulkner come upon his central subject—how the corruption of the homeland, staining its best sons, left them without standards or defense—than Snopesism followed inexorably. Almost anyone can detect the Snopeses, but describing them is very hard. The usual reference to "amorality," while accurate, is not sufficiently distinctive and by itself does not allow us to place them, as they should be placed, in a historical moment.
The 1956 campaign began in an atmosphere of political uncertainty. A good deal of water had gone over the dam since Eisenhower had discounted Communism as a major political issue in the United States. In the interval McCarthyism had been killed off.
In our relations with Russia and China, he does not believe that any settlement of the fundamental issues can be expected "for some time," although local adjustments, such as the Austrian peace treaty, are possible. We need, therefore, to maintain "a tough, but flexible defense barrier" to deter both massive nuclear attack and localized aggression. We should work steadily and constructively for a meaningful disarmament agreement.
Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence (Grove $6) Thirty-one years after its initial private publication in Italy, the unexpurgated final version of Lady Chatterley's Lover appears in this country. An abridged edition of this version was published here in 1930; the first version (of the three Lawrence wrote) appeared here in 1944. Now the general public may read what has heretofore been available only to contrabandists and scholars with access to locked library shelves. The novel's publication inevitably raises the issue, not only of intrinsic literary merit but of censorship.
Between an audience and a good film a certain confidence is quickly established. This is especially true of comedies. The first two or three minutes are enough to tell you whether a comic film is going to be a dud; the first eight or ten minutes are enough to establish this confidence. In it the audience implies: "We recognize that we are in good hands. Take over." In addition to the fun the picture provides, there is an extra pleasure in having found a good film and knowing it while you're enjoying it.
Some Like It Hot (United Artists) Eighth Day of the Week (Continental) Taiga (Bakros) Between an audience and a good film a certain confidence is quickly established. This is especially true of comedies.

IT MAY BE unrealistic to expect that the Communist powers could explicitly admit that their past record over observing agreements has been bad. In the present international system few governments would be willing to incur the loss of face involved in such an admission. It would, however, be possible for the Communist powers (if they are sincere in wanting negotiations to reduce world tensions) to admit implicitly that there is a lack of trust in the value of promises of future performance and to work for agreements which would go as far as possible in providing guarantees for performance.
AS THEIR state chairman says,the Republicans in California are facing their moment of truth. Alarmed by the Democratic sweep in the June 3 primary, Vice President Nixon, GOP official of varying heft and profundity, and possibly even President Eisenhower will troop up and down the Golden State between now and November, trying to rescue ungainly Bill Knowland from the wrath of the voters. But most of the 1960 Democratic Hopefuls will also be pitched in for the party in California.

Abortion giant Planned Parenthood has lost another chapter in its ongoing fight to force states to fund its existence against their will. A Texas judge ruled December 31 that the state can go ahead with its defunding of the nation's largest abortion provider, denying a temporary injunction that would have continued to provide funding to Planned Parenthood for non-abortion-related service.
This is the second time a judge has ruled against such an injunction. In August, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed an injunction imposed by a federal judge that would have allowed the state funding to continue pending the results of a lawsuit Planned Parenthood had filed to challenge the law. The defunding measure, passed by the state legislature in 2011 and implemented on January 1, blocks Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers from receiving funds for "family planning" services dispersed through the state's Women's Health Program.
In response to the state measure, the Obama administration ordered the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to cut off funding of the Women's Health Program — around $9 for every $1 in state funds, effective January 1. Texas Gov. Rick Perry responded by saying that the state would tighten its belt and do without the estimated $30 million in federal funding the Women's Health Program was receiving.
According to the Dallas Morning News, critics of the defunding measure "believe the state program will not have enough providers without the Planned Parenthood clinics to serve the 130,000 low-income women who rely on the Women's Health Program for annual checkups, cancer screenings and family planning." But the state Health and Human Services Commission said that it had more than 3,500 non-abortion-related health providers that could handle the 50,000 or so low-income women who previously relied on Planned Parenthood for "family planning" services.

Bolstering their ranks at a time when volunteers are in short supply, Jefferson and Lewis counties added 33 new firefighters to their rolls as two classes graduated from state training this month.
Volunteer first responders have received much legislative attention lately with the passage of the so-called Webster provision, named for two volunteer firefighters who were killed by an arsonist-gunman while responding to a Christmas Eve blaze in the Rochester suburb. The new law provides for a mandatory sentence of life without parole for someone convicted of killing a volunteer first responder, the same penalty faced by criminals who kill police officers.
Firefighters view the passage of the law as a victory. But as recent attention has focused on what can go horribly wrong when first responders answer a call, a less noticeable obstacle these departments confront every day is simply maintaining their staffing level. Those who serve say the role requires strength, perseverance and commitment.
Adam J. Lundquist, second assistant chief in the West Carthage Fire Department, also is a state fire instructor in Lewis County.
He helps to facilitate the 90-hour course that trains volunteers to don self-contained breathing apparatus and enter a burning building.
That course, called Firefighter I, includes 28 classes and 15 practical skills.
The class is physically and mentally demanding and requires a substantial time commitment.
Candidates must be able to don 80 pounds of personal protective equipment including turnout coat, boots, pants, gloves, helmet, Nomex hood, breathing tank and mask in less than two minutes, be able to crawl through a 2-foot-by-2-foot hole and be able to handle a charged hose in which every gallon of water adds another 8 pounds.
It really is a lot to ask, Mr. Lundquist said.
On the plus side, the rewards, including the satisfaction of helping people in the community, are worth it, Mr. Lundquist said.
One thing is for sure: no one is doing it for the money.
Aside from a $200 tax refund that most volunteers put toward covering the cost of fuel burned traveling to and from the station and a modest 1 to 2 percent property tax break, volunteers receive no monetary compensation for their work, which they do because they love it and want to give something back to their municipalities.
Chief Charles M. Dillon said last year was a banner year for the Town of Watertown Fire Department.
The department added 12 members, the majority of whom still are very active, he said.
Mr. Dillon said his department is unique in Jefferson County because it draws volunteers from the city of Watertown, which does not have a volunteer department.
The department also bolsters participation by hosting rookie training as part of its weekly training meeting on Wednesday nights.
On those nights, firefighters teach residents interested in volunteering how to use the equipment to let them feel productive at a fire scene.
The Town of Watertown Fire Department receives 400 to 500 calls annually.
Not all volunteers are required to go through the 90-hour state course, which is offered only two or three times a year. Anyone who wants to help can join the department to provide support by securing fire scenes, participating in fundraising activities or helping to stow gear.
Mr. Dillon said his departments goal is to open up volunteer opportunities to as many residents as possible.
Retaining recruits often is the most difficult part of maintaining a volunteer departments rolls.
Many volunteers are active-duty military members on Fort Drum, Mr. Lundquist said. They are welcomed in the West Carthage department, though their military duties mean they often are called away from the community, either to move to a new duty station or to deploy overseas.
Mr. Lundquist said active-duty department members stick around from four months to four years. There are seven active-duty members on the rolls at West Carthage, which has 50 members, and three of them are deploying soon.
Additional training generally is required even after firefighters graduate from the 90-hour course.
As part of a probationary period following graduation, volunteers undergo training at their home departments on radio procedures and how to use tools such as the irons an ax and a Halligan bar tool and thermal-imaging cameras that help firefighters see inside smoke-filled buildings.
Joseph D. Plummer, Jefferson County director of fire and emergency management, said the county has seen a good level of interest from prospective volunteers and participation in the classes.
In fact, he said, theres so much interest the county is having a hard time keeping up with the demand.

POTSDAM - Village business owners will roll out the red carpet for returning students today at First Saturday, an annual event created to lure shoppers, and their wallets, into downtown stores and restaurants.
First Saturday was created in 2005. It is a partnership between Clarkson University, SUNY Potsdam and downtown businesses, and it is always held the first weekend after classes begin.
The event has grown annually, with over 70 businesses participating this year. The return of the students marks the end of a typical summer economic slump in Potsdam, a college town that depends on school-year spenders.
Anyone in a college town, if theyre wise, theyll rely on the student population, said Randy L. Sixberry, who co-owns Great Northern Printing on 6 Main St. with his wife, Kimberly E. Sixberry.
Last year their custom clothing shop printed 400 shirts to give away free to visiting students and ended up printing 100 more to meet demand. This year they are starting with 500, but expect demand to be even higher.
Most of the participating businesses are offering discounts, giveaways or activities to lure students. Market Street will be blocked off to traffic and filled with pedestrians, vendors, live music and scheduled activities.
Shoppers can pick up a First Saturday passport with a list of all the participating shops. For each store they visit they will receive a sticker, and with eight stickers they will be eligible to be entered into a drawing for $100 worth of Potsdam Chamber of Commerce gift cards.
Buses will take students downtown from their campuses.
It gets the students to explore the businesses in town and learn whats here, said chamber Director Marylee E. Ballou.
Businesses look forward to the students coming back to town. It starts a new season for this, she said.
Businesses owners described First Saturday as controlled chaos, and one of the busiest days of the year.
Its a free-for-all, theyre all over the place, said Robert A. Porter, who works at Misty Hollow, a craft and hobby store at 22 Market St.
In addition to having a sale, Misty Hollow will offer classes on how to make earrings and hemp bracelets.
Mr. Porter described how the shop has had to change over the years to keep up with changing demand. Misty Hollow recently began selling board and card games, along with its normal craft supplies, yarn and fabric, to further appeal to students.
Theres not enough people in Potsdam to support one thing, so you have to have diversity, he said.
It is not just retail stores that get in on First Saturday. Restaurants hope for students to stop in for a bite.
Were local-focused, but the students are the gravy, said Daniel E. Martin, general manager at Between the Buns, 6 Elm St. Between the Buns opened in March, so this will be its first First Saturday.
Were excited to be part of First Saturday. Well see what it generates, Mr. Martin said.

Abstract: The journey of the Sun through the dynamically active local interstellar medium creates an evolving heliosphere environment. This motion drives a wind of interstellar material through the heliosphere that has been measured with Earth-orbiting and interplanetary spacecraft for 40 years. Recent results obtained by NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer mission during 2009-2010 suggest that neutral interstellar atoms flow into the solar system from a different direction than found previously. These prior measurements represent data collected from Ulysses and other spacecraft during 1992-2002 and a variety of older measurements acquired during 1972-1978. Consideration of all data types and their published results and uncertainties, over the three epochs of observations, indicates that the trend for the interstellar flow ecliptic longitude to increase linearly with time is statistically significant.
