Ramirez would be another big bat. I don't see much else out there that I would want Both would be for next yr although about 15 mill apart. If Ramirez hits like he did in 2011 & 2012 he is worth the contract.

MASSENA Zach Bogosian spends his offseason in his hometown of Massena every year, but this time he found a part-time job.
Bogosian and his older brother Aaron, along with Massena native Matt Reid, are spending the second half of this week running the North Country Stars Hockey School at the St. Lawrence Centre Ice Arena.
Bogosian, who is 22, just finished his fourth season in the National Hockey League. He was the third player taken overall in the 2008 NHL draft. Hes been with the same franchise his entire career, but after his first two years the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg and became the Jets.
About 40 kids, ages ranging from 9 to 14, are in the school, which began Wednesday and ends Saturday.
Its special, Bogosian said. My brother and I didnt really have any camps in Massena we could go too (as kids). Wed always go to Clarksons and (SUNY) Potsdams. It means a lot go us. We made it from Massena, so we let the kids know that being from the north country doesnt mean you cant make it.
Bogosian was at ease with the kids, enjoying some ribbing from some during a lunch break and having fun playing games with stick handling and puck possession with others during the afternoon session on ice.
Aaron Bogosian, who played at St. Lawrence University and has spent the last two seasons playing mostly in the East Coast Hockey League, has also enjoyed the experience.
Its been a lot of fun, Aaron Bogosian said. This is my first time actually running a whole hockey camp. Its fun working with young kids and talking with them and telling them about our experiences. Working with young kids is just awesome. I remember (going) to Clarkson camps. It was kind of the same thing, looking up to those guys and I was hoping I could be like them at some point in my life.
One of the Clarkson players both Bogosians looked up to as kids was Matt Reid, who played with the Golden Knights from 1996-2000 and was a member of the 1999 ECAC championship team. Reid played professional hockey until 2009, with the bulk of his latter career spent with the ECHLs South Carolina Stingrays.
I was watching Aaron play for the (Florida Everblades) and I just missed the game for the first time in three or four years after being out of it, Reid said. I started talking to him about the talent that was here and how much more could be from here if we could get some excitement back. Its not just about being the best player, its about discipline. Zach and Aaron are two guys who are the epitome of what a hockey player should be at the professional level.
Zach Bogosian was only 18 when he joined the Thrashers, so he had to adjust quickly.
A lot of people forget when you are 18 and you go into a locker with a guy who is 35, with three kids, and hes a grown man thats as mature as your dad, you have to grow up fast, Bogosian said. Professional athletes in general are forced to grow up fast. Your lifes in the fast lane and you have to make good decisions. Fortunately Ive been surrounded by good people since I was young who helped me stay grounded and mentally ready to go.
The move from Atlanta to Winnipeg enhanced Bogosians need to make the right decisions at all times.
You understand its a business every night, Bogosian said. You cant have an off night in the city. That city is proud to have hockey back and its an honor to play in front of those fans. You get noticed everywhere you go. You are kind of the celebrities in town and with that comes a lot of responsibility. You have to be respectful and make sure you are taking care of yourself. You also embrace it too and understand its an opportunity. Im not going to play hockey forever, so I enjoy every game and every year Im going to play.
nNOTES: Aaron Bogosian played for three teams last season. He started with the ECHLs Florida Everblades, then went to the ECHLs Toledo Walleye before ending the year playing in three games for the American Hockey Leagues Peoria Rivermen. He is a free agent and said hell know more about his future location after the NHL draft. ... Reid now lives in Charleston, S.C. and has owned a pressure washing company since 2003. ... There will be a pro game Saturday at 11 a.m. at the St. Lawrence Centre Mall Arena, which will run until 12:15 p.m. Some of the people expected to play include Canton native Kyle Flanagan (SLU), former Ottawa Senator Jesse Winchester, Massena native Mark Miller (RPI), Ogdensburg native Jake Morley (Clarkson), Norwood native Alex Boak (Clarkson), Massena native Chris Aldous as well as former Clarkson players Andrew Himelson and Cody Rosen.

New to this forum and I wanted to ask questions regarding cross-compile issues I have.
I am attempting to cross-compile Quagga (open source routing protocol suite) from my build machine (x86) to a host (ppc 8560). Embedded Planet has provided me with a board and a toolchain for ppc_8560 software development.
Just learned about autoconf and I have it understanding that I am cross-compiling. When I attempt to cross-compile there are a lot of initial compilation errors that exist when the compiler reaches kernel header files. Specifically when x.h calls /linux/include/x.h which #includes <asm/x.h>.
Obviously I want my toolchain to call the correct asm specific header which would be asm-ppc/x.h. There is a symbolic link from /usr/include/asm --> ../src/linux/include/asm, which is weird because in the ../src/linux/include/ directory there is no such directory as asm, but there does exist asm-* (e.g. asm-i386, asm-ppc, asm-powerpc).
Assuming I can get the compiler to use the correct asm files I think my problems go away but they can't find them (or any for that matter) which is why the compiler craps out. I don't think specifying a compiler -I flag will help because the #includes are <asm/x.h> I would need to point asm --> asm-ppc with a sym link. But others I have talked to say this should be done automatically by my toolchain. Am I missing something? Has anyone else ever had this *really* specific issue?
Any help would be appreciated ... AND IS DEFINITELY NEEDED.

Class of 2006
Tackle >>> 6-6, 255
(Fort Valley State)
1967-1979 Dallas Cowboys
Larry Rayfield Wright. . .Cowboys' seventh round pick, 1967 NFL Draft. . .Earned permanent starting right tackle position, 1970. . .Known as "Big Cat," earned first- or second-team All-NFL honors six consecutive times (1971-1976). . .Selected to play in Pro Bowl following each of those seasons. . .Started in six NFC championship games and played in five Super Bowls. . .Named to NFL's All-Decade Team of the 1970s. . .Born August 23, 1945, in Griffin, Georgia.
Rayfield Wright, the Dallas Cowboys seventh round draft pick in the 1967 draft, was given little chance of making the team's final roster. But the Fort Valley (GA) State All-America demonstrated enough determination and raw athleticism that the coaching staff knew they somehow needed to work him into the lineup.
During his first three seasons the 6-6, 255-pound Wright was used as a tight end, defensive end, and offensive tackle. In 1969 when right tackle Ralph Neely was injured, Coach Tom Landry decided to insert Wright into the lineup. His first opponent was future Hall of Fame defensive end Deacon Jones. "The Deacon is big and strong and mean," Wright was cautioned by his line coach. "Well," said the confident Wright, "so am I."
Wright's performance against Jones was good enough that before training camp opened in 1970, Landry announced that Wright would be his starting right tackle. One season later he was named All-NFL. Known as "Big Cat," Wright earned first- or second-team All-NFL honors six consecutive times (1971-1976). He was also selected to play in the Pro Bowl following each of those seasons.
Wright's performance during the 1975 season was particularly impressive. Coming off knee surgery, many questioned whether "Big Cat" would even play. Not only did he play, but he again notched All-NFL honors into his career belt. In postseason play he faced three legendary defensive ends - Hall of Famer Jack Youngblood, Pittsburgh Steelers L.C. Greenwood, and Minnesota Vikings Carl Eller - head on. Each time he rose to the occasion with exceptional play.
"He was truly outstanding," Youngblood summarized of Wright's play in the playoff game. As for his performance against Eller, longtime Cowboys offensive line coach Jim Myers proclaimed that Rayfield "played as well or even better in that game."
"An all-day fight with Rayfield Wright definitely is not my idea of a pleasant Sunday afternoon," Eller once offered. "I think he is pretty much of a composite of an all-pro tackle. He has size, strength, and quickness. The big thing in Rayfield's favor is that he has a lot of range. He moves faster than most tackles. He's just difficult to play against."
Myers summarized Wright's overall career this way. "We tried to make a tight end out of Rayfield. Then we tried him on the defensive line. And then he made a great coach out of me."

I go back and forth on this, but who is the Orioles first-baseman of the future?
My gut tells me that it's none of these guys, and the long-term answer will come from outside the organization, or maybe a new draft pick, but out of the guys that the O's have in the pipeline, who is the best and has the best shot to hold down first for the next three-to-five years.
I like Snyder, but he just doesn't seem to have that much offensive potential. I envision him as a .260-.275 hitter with 10-15 homers at the big league level, hardly the big power presence the Orioles lack.
Joe Mahoney on the other hand, seems to offer more power than anyone not named Brandon Waring in the system. It looks like he's finally figured out wooden bats, and he's definitely got the power-hitting body to go with his prodigious raw power. The real question is will he even hit for a decent average?
The guy I'm higher on than the rest, I think, is Tyler Townsend. He always hit for average at Florida International, including a school-record .434 in 2009. He got off to a rough start, enduring a couple of injuries, but when he was healthy he raked at Delmarva, and looked pretty good at Frederick. He hit for pretty good power during his last two years at FIU, and from what I've seen he plays pretty solid defense. He only made five errors this season in 450 total chances.
I think of the three, he offers the best all-around package of decent bat, good power, and solid defense.

Tuesday, December 07, 2010Two Lipscomb Lady Bisons volleyball players _ middle blocker Alex Kelly and setter Stefine "Jake" Pease _ have been named to the South Region team by the American Volleyball Coaches Association.
Pease was the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year for 2010. Kelly was the A-Sun Tournament MVP.
Both of them were named to the AVCA South Region team last season.
"Anytime players garner achievements like this it is often not only for the program, but for their sakes," Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal said. "You have to also look a little bit closer into what is going on there.
"We are in a very tough region with the Sunbelt, Southeastern Conference and Southern Conference as well. We have two players from the same team on a very competitive team. That is very impressive."
The Lady Bisons, the A-Sun regular season and tournament champion for the past two seasons, advanced to the NCAA Tournament where they lost to Ohio State 3-1 Dec. 4. For Pease and Kelly it was their third trip to the NCAA Tournament during their playing careers.
The Lady Bisons finished the season 24-7. Pease and Kelly never played on a team at Lipscomb that won fewer than 20 matches in a season.
"Last year was the first time we had ever had two players on that team," Rosenthal said. "They are undoubtedly the best players in the conference. They belong on a national scale. Out of the thousands of players they are truly two of the best in the nation.
"It is also pretty neat to see them being recognized on a national scale. A lot of it had to do with how well they played against regionally-ranked teams and nationally-ranked teams. One of the reasons we schedule the way we do is because I think it is important that our girls get that exposure. We have played so many ranked teams that it really paid off this time."

It looks as though apple might be gearing up to take a run at the infamous Google Maps app for iOS devices like unlocked iphone 4, ipad & ipod. A recent job posting to their website calls for individuals with "computational geometry or graph theory," as well as individuals that have substantial experience with navigation software. The company could be developing something else, but with the popularity of Google maps on the iOS platform and the very open competition between the companies, it looks as though they might be taking a page out of Google's book and developing their own branded solution that will be eerily similar to something that is already out there on the market.
With a little bit of guesswork you can see that Apple might be looking to integrate some sort of GPS app into the future updates for the platform. They certainly know how much these types of things can generate, with so many of their most successful apps being related to GPS features.
Apple has not made any announcement regarding what the hiring could mean. Of course, anything is possible and they could be developing something completely different that we have not heard of yet. There was one previous occasion when the company brought some navigation experts on board, and nothing really ever came of it. It looks as though they might be willing to give that project a second shot, now that they have a new phone out and a software update that would allow them to focus on other features for a small period of time.
Google has yet to comment on the possibility that Apple could be looking to invade on the space that Google Maps occupies, but likely would not be happy to learn. Google is never a stranger to competition, and constantly releases solutions to compete with other brands, but now it looks as though they will get a taste of their own medicine.

DENVER (KUSA) - As a 36-year-old mom of two, Eva Berninzoni never imagined herself getting back into a bikini. So it was beyond her wildest dreams that she would not only wear a bikini again, but look so good in that bikini that she would win an award.
"I did?" she asked in shock when her trainer, Chris Williamson of The Gym, told her that she'd placed in the top five of the master's bikini competition division of the Warrior Classic Professional Bodybuilding and Physique Show.
Only months earlier, Berninzoni was a tired mom who was afraid to take time for herself. Victoria Perkins felt the same way. She'd just had her first child and was feeling like she'd never get back into shape.
"I just felt low," she said. "I felt tired doing nothing."
After seven months of training with Williamson, exercising six days a week and eating a clean diet, Berninzoni and Perkins lost a combined total of more than 75 pounds.
"It's not about making people skinny. It's about getting them the confidence to go out in the world and conquer things in this life that they may encounter," Williamson said.

The following is from Husqvarna…
Corona, CA - June 17, 2013 - After an international trip with races as far away as Calgary, Canada, Cory Graffunder was back to racing in his own backyard over the weekend at the third annual Prairie Dogs MC Last Dog Standing at Glen Helen Raceway. The extreme off-road event put Graffunder and his Husqvarna TXC310R to the test, but the Canadian was able to stand on the podium with a second-place finish at the end of the day.
"It was kind of an up and down day," Cory said. "I was bummed about the first race being thrown out because I would have won if they didn't. But a bunch of people got lost and it was mayhem so they threw it out in the final score."
In the second race, Cory had a tough battle with Taylor Robert and ended up taking the win. "It wasn't pretty," Graffunder explained. "Right before the finish we crashed, kind of on top of each other. I got up first and won that one."
A formidable hill climb proved to be the highlight of the third - and most difficult - race of the day. "The sun was right our eyes," Cory recalled. "I tried it and didn't make it, then Taylor tried it and he didn't make it. At one point there were like five of us all taking turns making attempts. I got up it first and led the whole first lap (of the final race)."
Graffunder worked hard to hold off Robert in the next lap, but succumbed to second place after breaking a shift lever. After a quick pit stop to repair the lever, Cory rejoined the race in second place, where he remained to the finish.
"I'm still happy with the way it all went," Graffunder said. "My TXC310R was running great, and kept up with all the 450s in the qualifier. Aside from the broken shifter I had no problems all day. Congrats to Taylor on the win. It was really fun riding with him."

There has been a lot written in the last few weeks about the flu going around, all over the country. Favorite topics in these articles include how to protect yourself and others, the signs that you are getting the flu, the signs you have the flu and how terrible this "new" flu seems to be.
Well I can relate to all this. You see last week I got it, or something like what they have been describing. Probably many of you have had it as well. This is not your father's flu for sure, or at least it wasn't like anything I had taken on before.
I had done the things to try and protect myself from it. That is, of course, except getting vaccinated. I forget now that they consider me a senior citizen so I am in a "priority group" or so I heard last week on television while I was under the influence of the disease. I get confused though. Because I am over 60 am I now elderly too? I hear both terms, elderly and senior, used interchangeably it seems. I think it depends on if the newscaster is 25 or 45. To 25s everyone is old. To 45s they know they are on the doorstep themselves. As for the vaccination, well dumb me. My doctor tells me to get one every year and I guess from now on I will take his advice.
The television news channels love to talk about this epidemic that is going on. They quote officials from around the country, interview doctors and nurses who are right in the thick of setting up emergency services because they are overwhelmed and of course spout out all the information that comes from the Center for Disease Control hourly. Sometimes it almost sounds like when the weather people are forcasting a hurricane that is coming. The flu, like the hurricane, starts somewhere, usually in the east or south, and moves west. What its path will be, how it will gain strength and where it will fall apart, no one seems to know. We often seem to have as many warnings that it will be big, but then it peters out. Television news producers love this kind of thing. They have lots of people to talk to, with lots of different opinions, and lots of hype to go along with it.
But there is something missing. With all the advice they give, no one tells us how to ascertain when we are better. I know that seems simple. You should just feel better. But there should be signs. As for me, I guess I am not over it yet because I just feel a little less worse that I did when it was raging through my system.
But I am maintaining there are signs that it is ending; definite signs that no one talks about. So here I am to give those who are presently in the depths of the disease right now a little hope. And the things I am about to relate apply to all kinds of flu, not just this years strain.
•First, you know you are getting better when you can start to smell yourself. Okay, maybe I am being a little too straight forward here, but when you have the flu, you just don't care much about hygene. You lay in the bed in pajamas you haven't changed in four days or slouch in front of the television on the living room couch in your sweat pants and sweat shirt, not worrying about anyone else but yourself. I have learned over the years that at the beginning of the illness family members stay away from you because they might catch what you have; after a few days they do it because they can't stand the stench. But when you start to detect it, you know you are on the way to recovery.
•Taking that first shower after days of convalescense is a trip. It will also tell you if you are really still sick, and some of those signs show up before you are actually well too. For instance, if the thought of getting a nice warm shower is outweighed by the fact that at some point you will have to turn the water off and step out into the cold cruel world of the bathroom tile and you will consequently start to shiver, you probably are not well yet. However if the thought of a a nice warm shower means you think you will actually feel better afterward, then you are nearing recovery.
•As you near the end of the illness, junk food starts to sound good again. When you find you are fed up with homemade chicken soup and want to drink something other than fruit juice, you will also start craving a Big Mac or a pizza piled with cheese and pepperoni. And beer now sounds like a beverage, instead of a brother to ipecac.
•The ongoing maze of episodes of Law and Order that started with the inaugural season in 1990 that you have been watching one after another on Netflix during your convalescense starts to seem a little stale. The fact you are are clear up to the 1998 season may also have something to do with it. From now on if you see one episode of those first eight seasons it will remind you of barf.
•You are tired of having the dog sit by you all the time. Now I seldom get tired of dogs because I love them so much. But during a bout with the flu they like you better than anyone else because you haven't taken a bath. When you start to realize that you miss human beings, who don't spend half their time trying to sniff you, you are nearing the end.
•The recliner no longer has the appeal of relaxation it did during the height of your illness. At some points while having the flu, you wouldn't care if you were laying on a bale of poison ivy, as long as you could lay down. Now, as you end your illness, those places you had to sit and lay down on for so long, will not be the places you want to be for a few days. My recliner and I have definitely had a falling out.
•While you were sick with the flu and the UPS or Fed Ex guy showed up with a package and knocked on the door, you say, "Go away." When you are starting to get over the flu you get up and go to the door and pick up the package because you wonder what your wife has purchase on-line now. However, you still know better than to open it.
There are also externals signs. People no longer say "Well I hope you get better soon" or "That's terrible. You stay home until you are well." Instead you hear "When are you going back to work" or "You look like you you feel better. When are you going to (insert any dozens of things you need to do)?"
Finally, a good sign is when you look in the mirror you really are appalled at how old you are getting and how bad you look. Of course little can be done about that, and it was actually the same before you had the flu, but you'd like to think the illness caused it. Combing hair, or what you have left of it, improves your mood almost immediately.

There are lessons we all learn as children that stick with us the rest of our lives. Hopefully some of those experiences of a young age will save our life some day.
For instance I learned at the age of nine that playing with fire is a very scary thing to do. A number of times I used to get in to the gasoline supply around the farm I lived on and fill up squeeze bottles with the smelly liquid. Today I am not proud of it, but I would then pretend I had a flame thrower (like in the movies) and would squirt gas on large red ant beds around the farm, light matches to them and watch the residents of those piles of dirt scurry around trying to get out of the way.
In-human, yes. Stupid, definitely.
I found out how stupid when one day I didn't put enough gasoline on a bed to keep it burning right, so I decided to squirt a little more on. Suddenly the flames were coming up the stream I was spraying and just before they reached the bottle I tossed it on the bed where it exploded.
No, nothing burned down, nor did I get caught. But it was the last time I played with fire.
Once I built a tree hut in an apple tree on the farm too. It had all the amenities a 12 year old kid could want. It had a little cable car that came up to it from the ground that I had constructed out of an old American Flyer wagon bed and a crank winch off a discarded boat trailer. It had a transistor radio hanging the main level with speakers I had salvaged out of old radios attached via the earphone plug in all five stories (yes five) of the tree house. The structure even had running water, via an old milk can I had put on the top story that I filled periodically with a long hose from the milk barn. Life was good.
However, one day I was reading a comic book on the main level of the tree house, while eating one of the main luscious green apples that grew on the tree when I heard a creaking sound. That sound was above me so I started to climb up through the trap doors to see what was making the racket.
On the third level I had a pop out porch, so I walked out on it. Just then I heard a crash. The milk can, which I had just filled that morning passed me by as it traveled through each succeeding story on it's way to the ground, making gaping holes in floors below as gravity drew it toward the earth. When it hit the ground it's lid came off and the water spilled all over. I looked down to the first story and there was my comic book laying by a hold in the floor, right where I had been sitting.
I learned then that when you build something, you make sure it will carry the weight of whatever is placed on it.
In another hut building instance I found that you don't build a six foot deep underground hut at the end of your dads garden tomato garden. Water runs downhill and tends to fill in low places very quickly. One day I built a hideaway, the next day I had a mud swimming pool.
I learned from these lessons and of course many more dumb things I did over the years. However, I still continue to make mistakes on things, but hopefully not the same ones.
That's why I find the situation in New Orleans so perplexing. When you build 80 percent of a city below sea level and it is surrounded by the biggest river in North America to the south, and a huge lake to the north, doesn't it follow that someday something will happen that will cause a lot of water to go where it isn't wanted?
But then I guess it is not any different than building your house on the bottom of an old lake bed in an earthquake zone (Salt Lake Valley) which will turn to mud when it gets shaken up enough. Nor is it different than living in the desert and not expecting a drought to shake up your life, and kill off your yard every few years.
Some disasters are fast, others are slow. But mother nature and the laws of physics can't be denied when factors come together.
Some areas of the gulf coast have some of the highest realty prices in the United States, despite the fact that those places see a hurricane come through them almost every year. Yet the property values continue to rise, because most people really believe they can dodge the bullet.
Human beings are a funny race. We often live, and even thrive in the shadow of almost certain death and destruction. We just want to believe it can never happen to us. But there are lessons to be learned and one of those is that you just can't keep playing the odds forever.
Just ask the people of New Orleans about it. They will tell you, sooner or later it will catch up with you.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- Apparently there are still rich people who love President Obama. All the talk of raising taxes on millionaires hasn't kept some swanky D.C. hotels from offering inauguration packages at prices only a billionaire could love.
The Ritz Carlton may be offering the most expensive sleep this side of the Lincoln Bedroom. The four-night inauguration package includes airport transportation and first class flights from anywhere in the US.
You'll stay in a luxury penthouse suite withworking fireplace, your own iMac, Nakamichi stereo,and a rainshower.
You can take home the luxury linens emblazoned with the Presidential seal.
The suite includesa fabulous balcony, butno view of the inauguration or the parade. But you do get a birdseye view at the Newseum with all you can eat and drink from Wolfgang Puck.
You also get Presidential cocktails, Michelle Obama cookies, and a whole bunch ofextras including a walk on the President's route to the Capitol balcony with D.C.'s hottest guide and a $35,000 diamond and ruby brooch from Ann Hand.
The total price: just $100,000.
"You can't buy this package," says general manager David Child. "You couldn't put it together if you tried."
And if 100 grand's too rich for you, there's always the cheapest room at the Ritz: $1000 a night, four night minimum -- pre paid!
At President Obama's first inauguration, D.C. hotel rooms averaged more than 600 dollars a night. Organizers do not expect 1.8 million visitors for the second inaugural, so maybe you can put your visiting relatives up on someone's couch for cheaper.

The Watertown City Council is expected to consider Tuesday a request from New York Air Brake Co. to amend the companys 18-year-old tax-abatement package.
Council members last week took no action on changing the payment-in-lieu-of-taxes package, which actually will cost New York Air Brake more than it would have paid in property taxes without the agreement. For the past seven years, Air Brake paid $183,726 more than if the deal had not been in place.
At their last meeting, council members agreed to wait for a vote until City Attorney Robert J. Slye had the proposal from the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency in his hands to look at it. The JCIDA had wanted the City Council to decide the matter before Friday.
The proposed amendment to the deal will mean Jefferson County, the city of Watertown and the Watertown City School District will receive less money than they have relied on from the company.
The tax problem, which Air Brake discovered last year, is blamed on an outdated formula for the PILOT approved in 1995 by the three taxing jurisdictions to help the company complete a $9.7 million capital project at the facility at 748 Starbuck Ave.
Since 2006, the county, city and school district have collected more from Air Brake than they would have if the property were on the tax roll. The county has received an extra $54,411, the city $56,516 and the school district $72,799.
To fix the problem, JCIDA is asking localities that approved the 20-year PILOT to amend its language. If approved, Air Brake would make payments based on the 2013 property value of $2,876,000 a little more than half of what it was when the PILOT was approved.
With lower payments from Air Brake, the three taxing units could be forced to make up the drop in revenue by raising taxes or cutting expenses. And even if the municipal boards reject the amendment, the company still can cancel the PILOT and payments will drop the same amount.
Assuming 2012 tax rates stay the same, in 2013 Air Brakes payment to the county would decrease $11,044, from $31,796 to $20,752, the citys payment would decrease $11,036, from $31,775 to $20,739 and the school districts would decrease $15,240, from $43,878 to $28,638.
The council will meet Tuesday because today is Presidents Day. The meeting will be at 7 p.m. in the third-floor council chambers at City Hall, 245 Washington St.

The attorney generals office has found weak spots in Jefferson County Sheriff John P. Burnss office procedures and will submit a public report on its recommendations by the end of the month.
Meanwhile, county officials are still angry at what Board of Legislators Chairwoman Carolyn D. Fitzpatrick, R-Watertown, called a brush-off by the state agency after the county asked it to investigate the Sheriffs Department.
Deanna R. Nelson, public integrity officer and assistant attorney general in charge of the Watertown office, met Wednesday with Mr. Burns, who said their three-hour discussion went well but declined to elaborate.
Weve done what we should have done and theyre going to take a look at it. If they have recommendations, thats great, Mr. Burns said.
Michelle C. Hook, a spokeswoman for the attorney generals office, said the sheriff was cooperative and the meeting was fruitful.
We discovered some weak spots and some holes and are working on how to bridge those gaps to help him and the department seek corrective action for some of the problems the legislature has taken issue with, she said.
After county legislators asked the attorney generals office to conduct an external investigation of a Dec. 1 incident in the Sheriffs Department, they received a written reply Monday saying it is the countys responsibility to do so.
As you are no doubt aware, County Law 209 empowers the County Legislature to conduct an investigation into any subject matter within its jurisdiction, including the conduct and performance of official duties of any officer or employee paid from county funds, the letter read.
The response upset county officials.
We reached out to the AGs office with great respect and the Public Integrity Bureau ... and we got the brush-off, Mrs. Fitzpatrick said. And if anyone thinks that we didnt, all they have to do is read that letter.
I want to know why they denied it. We havent received any explanation. Why didnt they accept it? Why didnt it fall under the Public Integrity Bureau? The community, the county, the taxpayers deserved more, she said.
Ms. Hook, of the attorney generals office, said, We did not think our involvement was merited in this case based on the information they provided. We are happy to work with the Sheriffs Department to amend their policies and procedures.
County Attorney David J. Paulsen expressed disappointment that despite repeated attempts to reach out to the attorney generals office, lawyers there seemed uninterested in his information or participation.
If thats the extent of their involvement, we should have been a part of that discussion, he said of Ms. Nelsons meeting Wednesday with the sheriff.
At Tuesdays Board of Legislators meeting, Mrs. Fitzpatrick indicated that if all else fails, the county may consider asking the district attorney to appoint a special prosecutor to carry out the investigation.
District Attorney Cindy F. Intschert said she was waiting for the official outcome from the discussion between the attorney generals office and the Board of Legislators, which she expects to receive shortly.
At that point, she said, she would take whatever step I deem appropriate.
In January, the county asked Mr. Paulsen to draft a resolution asking for the attorney generals help in investigating the latest in a long string of alleged misconduct incidents involving the Sheriffs Department.
That particular incident, involving a deputy who was found unresponsive in his patrol vehicle with an open bottle of bourbon several hours after he went off duty Dec. 1, was the subject of internal investigations by the sheriff and Mr. Paulsen. Contradictions in the reports led legislators to unanimously adopt the resolution drafted by Mr. Paulsen during a special session of the Board of Legislators.
The letter was sent at the beginning of February and certified mail delivery receipts from the attorney generals office arrived in Jefferson County a few days later, though no official acknowledgement was ever received.
During February Mr. Paulsen twice attempted to contact the attorney generals office with additional information about the incident, to no avail.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick called the attorney generals office several times before finally speaking Feb. 26 to someone in the communications department who said the countys letter had been put in the correspondence file.
According to Mrs. Fitzpatrick, a phone call from Ms. Nelson followed shortly after, and the attorney generals response to the county was hand-delivered to Mr. Paulsen on Monday.

By a vote of 37-0, the Michigan state Senate approved a bill preventing the president from executing the indefinite detention provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) inside the sovereign borders of the Wolverine State.
Senate Bill 94 — a companion measure to House Bill 4138 passed unanimously by the state House of Representatives last year — prohibits "any agency of this state, any political subdivision of this state, any employee of any agency of this state or any political subdivision of this state, or any member of the Michigan national guard from assisting an agency of the armed forces of the United States in the investigation, prosecution, or detainment of any citizen of the United States" under certain situations.
Particularly, the bill applies to any attempt by a state agent or officer to enforce "section 1021 of the national defense authorization act for fiscal year 2012, if such aid would place that state agency, political subdivision, employee, or member of the Michigan national guard in violation of the United States constitution, the state constitution of 1963, or any law of this state."
Following the state senate's overwhelming support for the bill sponsored by Senator Rick Jones, the director of the Michigan chapter of the People Against the NDAA (PANDA), Dennis Marburger, committed to continue the fight to defy all acts of the federal government encroaching on the liberty of citizens of Michigan.
"The very active and knowledgeable group of Michiganians fighting this egregious Federal overreach will not rest until there is real, tangible and viable state resistance to D.C.'s attempts to deny our rights and threaten our safety — whatever unconstitutional legislation, edict or judicial fiat our government employees use as an excuse," Marburger said.

The water regulation strategy for Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River must be updated to prevent irreparable damage to the regions ecosystem, according to Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh.
In a letter Wednesday to Lana Pollack, U.S. co-chairwoman of the International Joint Commission, Mr. Owens voiced his support for IJCs Plan 2014 water management proposal praising it as a pragmatic, comprehensive strategy that reasonably balances environmental and economic concerns.
Shoreline property owners, mariners and hydroelectric energy producers have a significant financial stake in this decision. And it is clear inaction will create further, possibly irreparable, damage to our environment, he said in the letter.
The IJC a bilateral agency that advises the U.S. and
Canadian governments on issues affecting the two nations shared waters is seeking public feedback on the proposed plan that promises environmental restoration and significant economic benefits for hydropower production.
While the current plan 1958-DD aims to keep water levels relatively stable within a 4-foot range, Plan 2014 would bring back more natural water fluctuation patterns.
But this greater seasonal variability in water levels also means there would be a higher risk of flooding and erosion.
Northern lake and St. Lawrence River communities, on the other hand, have largely embraced Plan 2014 as it finally recognizes environmental and recreational boating interests.
The community deserves tremendous credit for its engagement in the development of Plan 2014. The public comment period has demonstrated that New Yorkers and Canadians living along Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River truly understand this issue and continue to live up to their reputation as passionate stewards of the environment, Mr. Owens said.
IJC will be accepting written comments until Aug. 30.
The commission plans to make its final recommendation to the U.S. and Canadian governments this fall. To learn more about Plan 2014 or to submit a comment online, visit: http://ijc.org/en_/losl.

BUFFALO, NY - It's an unexpected visit to Western New York that has people flocking to Corpus Christi Church.
A reliquary, containing the uncorrupted blood of Pope John Paul the second, is on display through Thursday evening at the east side church.
The relic was in Pennsylvania, and is scheduled to arrive in Montreal, Canada on Friday. With some time in between stops, Father Mariusz Dymek offered Corpus Christi as host.
Those wishing to view the relic of the holy father in person can visit the church on Thursday, between 10am and 8pm.
Channel Two Photojournalist Dooley O'Rourke got to view the relic on Wednesday. You can watch the story in the viewer above.

WARNING YOU HAVE ALREADY STARTED READING DO NOT STOP OR YOU WILL DIE TONIGHT AT 12.00AM! There once was a girl named Laura. Laura was an ordinary 11 year old, Until one night her friends dared her to jump into the fast flowing lake near by... their houses. Laura told her friends that she couldn't swim but they thought that was an excuse so they pushed her in.Laura belly flopped into the water, her friends thought it was shallow but indeed it wasn't. Laura went under and was dragged by the water and was pushed into rocks and sharp stones. Soon she was out of sight and only a faint red trail of blood was the only evidence of her existance. Her friends waited for Laura to bob back out the water but nothing happened. Soon enough they fled home but at excactly 12am Laura got her revenge. Write this on 15 photos or more or Laura will take a trip to you if you send this then Laura will go onto another person and haunt them instead. Excample: Rob took one look at this and called it crap but at 12.00am on Monday night he heard the sound of water dripping outside his door. He got up and thought it was the tap. Laura pounced and carved a cross slowly in his stomach and let him bleed to death now he's history. So get sending or Laura will be paying you a visit

Just got a new RX100,the battery is tiny-winy and I'm wondering how long does it last. Thinking before investing a second set of battery.
I just got a RX100. I haven't taken on a trek, but have used it a fair bit. Took it to a concert fully charged recently, and took 504 photos all without flash. Battery meter was still showing full. If you're going to take it on trail, a second battery seems prudent. You can get generic ones for pretty cheap.
thanks just got couple of spares from Amazon, can't believe they are so cheap. Also not sure if I will punch my face later for cheaping out not using a SOny battery in a $700 camera.
Worst case, they hold less juice or don't last as long. If that's the case, buy Sony batteries next time. :-)

Gary Herbert: I offer my fellow Utahns a track record of leadership that produces results and a vision to further solidify our state as the best place to live, work, play and raise a family. There are four cornerstones to keeping Utah strong and that's where my focus has been and will be. Education: An educated workforce is key to a prosperous economy. We have worked to increase accountability in the system, to make every dollar count by embracing innovation and our growing economy made it possible to increase education funding by $200 million last year. Utah is one the most educated states, per capita, in the nation. We must continue to foster a love of learning in order to ensure a bright future for our children. To reach our potential, I have set a goal of 66 percent of adults to have a college degree or post-graduate certificate by the year 2020. Jobs: We will promote public policies that lead to private sector job growth. When other states raised taxes to make ends meet during the economic downturn, we balanced the budget without increasing the tax burden. Our job growth allowed us to cut taxes this year. A strong economy is key to a high quality of life. I know government doesn't create jobs so I work to keep government off your back and out of your wallet. In that environment, businesses can grow, families can plan and we prosper as a state. Energy: We will ensure access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy by producing 25% more electrical energy than we consume by 2020. Self-determination: We will continue to cultivate Utah solutions for health care, public lands and immigration. I will remain committed to these guiding principles and goals throughout my second term so that Utah may continue to be an economic leader for the rest of the nation.
Ken Larsen: My name is Doctor Ken Larsen. I am the Libertarian candidate for Governor. I was born and raised in Provo. Eagle Scout, Vigil Honor Order of the Arrow, Mormon mission to France, Ph.D in biology from BYU in 1974, retired from the University of Utah as a Research Associate Professor of Medicine. Over 40 years politically active in forming new parties, running for various offices. The Founders said: "No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. " Most politicians agree that government should protect personal life, including clean air and water. However, the right wants to control personal liberty and the left wants to control personal property. If you believe government should protect all three, you might be a libertarian. As Governor, I will immediately end the enforcement of some unconstitutional laws, such as marriage discrimination, gun registration and the drug war. Other programs, such as government control of medicine, will take time to carefully unravel with minimum harm. I have written a book, "Peace On Earth" that explains my principles. It is about a man doing Santa Claus, having a near-death experience, and receiving infinite spiritual powers with a mission to go to Israel and make Peace on Earth. It is a fun story with a serious message. I believe this book contains the solution for rebuilding the Temple of Solomon without violence or bloodshed. I think the most important issues are economic. We face a potential financial melt-down. It is essential that we make all the cuts we can. We must stop spending money we don't have. Right now, humanity is facing several challenges. In every case, we can work through the crisis with mutual trust and cooperation. Astronomical events might disrupt our communications and power grids. We might suddenly need to trade and work together without a common currency. We can survive if we work together and set politics aside.

MND-ADA Transduction of CD34+ Cells From Children With ADA-SCID
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) may result from inherited deficiency of the enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA). Children with ADA-deficient SCID often die from infections in infancy, unless treated with either a bone marrow transplant or with ongoing injections of PEG-ADA (Adagen) enzyme replacement therapy. Successful BMT requires the availability of a matched sibling donor for greatest success, and treatment using bone marrow from a less-well matched donor may have a higher rate of complications. PEG-ADA may restore and sustain immunity for many years, but is very expensive and requires injections 1-2 times per week on an ongoing basis. This clinical trial is evaluating the efficacy and safety of an alternative approach, by adding a normal copy of the human ADA gene into stem cells from the bone marrow of patients with ADA-deficient SCID. Eligible patients with ADA-deficient SCID, lacking a matched sibling donor, will be eligible if they meet entry criteria for adequate organ function and absence of active infections and following the informed consent process. Bone marrow will be collected from the back of the pelvis from the patients and processed in the laboratory to isolate the stem cells and add the human ADA gene using a retroviral vector. The patients will receive a moderate dosage of busulfan, a chemotherapy agent that eliminates some of the bone marrow stem cells in the patient, to "make space" for the gene-corrected stem cells to grow once they are given back by IV. Patients will be followed for two years to assess the potentially beneficial effects of the procedure on the function of their immune system and to assess possible side-effects. This gene transfer approach may provide a better and safer alternative for treatment of patients with ADA-deficient SCID.

|MND-ADA Transduction Of CD34+ Cells From The Umbilical Cord Blood Of Infants Or The Bone Marrow Of Children With Adenosine Deaminase (ADA)-Deficient Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID)
- Assess the efficacy of stem cell transduction/engraftment by serial examination of peripheral blood lymphocytes and hematopoietic cells to quantitate the percentages of cells containing the ADA cDNA by semi-quantitative DNA-PCR. [ Time Frame: Monthly x 1 year, then every 2-3 months x 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Retroviral-mediated ADA gene transfer
Transfer of the human ADA gene to isolated CD34+ cells from the bone marrow.
Biological: ADA gene transfer
Autologous CD34+ cells transduced with the retroviral vector MND-ADA, carrying the human ADA gene.
Detailed Description:
The proposed study population is affected with adenosine deaminase-deficient severe combined immune deficiency (ADA-SCID), an autosomal recessive congenital immune deficiency. The basis of the proposed study (and product) is retroviral-mediated transduction of autologous, bone marrow derived CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells with the MND-ADA retroviral vector in a 5 day cell processing period. Transduction is followed by infusion of the washed cells into subjects not receiving enzyme replacement therapy with Polyethylene-conjugated ADA (PEG-ADA, ADAGEN7) who have had their PEG-ADA injections discontinued, and have undergone bone marrow cytoreductive therapy with a single non-ablative treatment course of Busulfan. The dose of cells infused will be determined by the patient-to-patient variation of the number of progenitors available from individual patients. Statistical analyses post-infusion will help determine the dose-response of the number of cells infused to the level of engraftment and resulting level of immune reconstitution. Following cellular infusion, a primary clinical end-point will be the absolute numbers of T and B lymphocytes containing the transduced ADA gene by quantitative, real-time PCR analyses. Measurement of blood mononuclear cell ADA enzyme levels will be analyzed. Based on the degree of marking of lymphocytes and of granulocytes, the selective advantage of lymphocytes may be gauged. Subjects will be monitored for the development of clonal proliferation, under the 15 year plan required by the FDA. One major aim of the study will be to see if subjects can remain off PEG-ADA and maintain protective immunity from the population of transduced lymphocytes arising from transduced progenitors. If sufficient gene-modified cells result, and PEG-ADA enzyme replacement therapy can be permanently discontinued, the advantage of this therapeutic approach may change the standard of care for these patients.

Just in time for Father's Day, we'll talk with a researcher studying the way genetic information is packaged inside sperm cells. Writing in the journal Nature, researchers describe special packaging materials called 'modified histones' that may help protect genes that make decisions about organ and
tissue development in a developing fetus.
"Our findings show that the father plays an active role in packaging his genome to help ensure a healthy baby," Brad Cairns, a professor of oncological sciences at the University of Utah and lead researcher on the project. "They also raise the possibility that a man's aging, health and lifestyle may alter this packaging and negatively affect fertility and embryo development." We'll talk with Cairns about the work.
