By C.J. MCMANUS TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporters
School district officials named Leo Parr as Carbon High's new football coach while conducting a forum Wednesday to hear public comment and clarify issues concerning the team.
On July 22 Carbon principal Greg Stanfield told the Sun Advocate that Carbon High had let head football coach Tim Tiller go. He did not elaborate on the reasons for the firing but gave this statement, "we decided that we need to take the Carbon High football program in a different direction. With that change we felt the need to change coaches to achieve that."
Tiller was contacted on the same day and reported feeling "blindsided" by the firing, which he received via voice message on his cell phone.
Superintendent Patsy Bueno chaired Wednesday's special meeting and spoke immediately to comments that have been drifting through the "I know that recent developments have alarmed all of you but the football program is alive and well in our community and we want it to grow," she said.
Bueno then stated her support for Stanfield's position saying, "He is an experienced educator and has full authority to make these decisions."
A group of five individuals, including Tiller, were allowed to speak to approximately 25 Carbon County residents.
"I would like to see some continuity in this program," said Dr. Paul Martinez, who has a son on the team. "I also feel academics needs to be a focus, this school has been on academic probation for several years and I don't know if they still are. Politics are a big part of this and with politics as usual parents can have a steamroller affect on coaches that aren't accepted. You know I wish parents would get this involved in students academics."
Members of the Carbon High football team including Jake Knighton also spoke on behalf of Tiller.
"It took coach Jorgenson years to build his program and after he left we didn't have any success until coach Tiller. I think going from no wins just a couple years back to two wins and a competitive team is a big step forward. There are five guys in this room right now who don't want a new coach two weeks before the season starts," said Knighton.
Tiller's statements focused on the football team and his wish to finish out this season.
"Ya the numbers are down, however, I think some behind the scenes actions are bringing them down. What I am asking is that you give me the opportunity to finish the season. If you need me to step down I will do that at the end of the season. And if I've offended anybody I apologize for that," said Tiller.
While Stanfield would not comment about the reasons for the coaching change he was steadfast in his decision.
"This is a hard situation, I have been an academic administrator for 27 years and a head athletic coach. I know what its like to be fired, I'll admit that. I agree with continuity but I have been charged with caring for 800 students and that is my top priority. Coach Tiller has done a good job but Carbon High needs to move in a different direction and there will be a coaching change," he said.
The school sent out letters to all football players about a Tuesday meeting at which time they will meet their new coach and get ready for the season, said Stanfield.
"I have gone through being hated," explained the Carbon principal. "But this really was an administrative decision not a political one. I do have the students best interests at heart and I'm not going to let the program die."

It was 9:04 of the first period when you should have
realized that the Rangers were in trouble in game 2. Failing to get even 1
power play goal out of 3 gifts from the Pittsburgh Penguins led to the eventual
3-0 loss in game 2 of this series.
While Ranger coach Alain Vigneault took responsibility for the
failures on the power play and said he was going to spend the night trying to
find the solution(s) to the power play woes. I can spare him the time and
energy by telling him that the power play is not going to work as long as you
have players standing still, not willing or able to generate traffic in front
of Penguin goal Marc-Andre Fleury and most of all not attacking the net.
People are screaming for changes in the lineup for game 3
but really who are you going to sit? Not Dan Carcillo who has been an active
force for the Rangers and is as close to an enforcer as the Rangers have.
Sidney Crosby isn't scoring so I am not wanting to break up the 4th line who has helped keep him off the board.
Unless Chris Kreider is ready to return then there really
isn't an option to take players out of the lineup. Yes I get it the Rangers
should be exhausted but that is life in the NHL playoffs, it isn't a skill's
competition any more but a battle of survival.
Henrik Lundqvist played his best game of the playoffs in
game 2 after really being average in the Flyer series. As long as Henrik
Lundqvist remains hot then the Rangers have a chance.
Sure I didn't like the loss but I think some people are
forgetting that most people should be happy going home 1-1 after taking away
home ice from the Penguins. If the Rangers continue this odd/even madness then
things should look good for game 3.
Let's remember as tired as the Rangers are supposed to be,
Pittsburgh is a much older team and they had to go 6 games against a more
physical Columbus. All is not lost and the Rangers can recover to win this
So can we put down the obituaries about the end of the
Ranger season since it is just 1-1. It would be nice for the Rangers to find a
way to win back to back games and who knows they just might grab game's 3 and
The only wish I really have is for one New York Ranger to
stand up and grab the leadership of this team. OK make it two wishes as I would
also like to see the Rangers keep skating as if they do they will take out the
older Pittsburgh.

Exelon Nuclear's Clinton Power Station is once again helping to provide school supplies to needy DeWitt County children, applying financial and human resources to support the Write Stuff for Kids program.
Clinton, IL - Exelon Nuclear's Clinton Power Station is once again helping to provide school supplies to needy DeWitt County children, applying financial and human resources to support the Write Stuff for Kids program.The Clinton Power Station recently made a $3,000 contribution to the organization. In addition, plant employees will collect and fill backpacks with school supplies and donate them so kids can start the school year fully equipped. Exelon Nuclear has been a major supporter of Write Stuff for Kids for nearly a decade. "Over the last nine years we have been able to provide more than 6,500 students with school supplies," said Kathleen Frick, Director, Write Stuff for Kids. "We are extremely fortunate to have Exelon Nuclear and the Clinton Power Station support us in such a caring and giving way." Write Stuff For Kids, Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides school supplies to DeWitt County children in need. In 2010, a group of Clinton Power Station interns led the station's effort to provide backpacks full of supplies for 52 third and fourth grade students. In all, some 75 students received school supplies and assistance with school registration fees, through the organization. Because of the economic downturn, even more support is needed this year."We're proud of our continued support for great programs like Write Stuff for Kids, which makes a real difference in kids' lives by ensuring they have the supplies they need to succeed in school," said Keith Taber, Clinton Power Station plant manager. "It's part of Exelon Nuclear's commitment to being a good corporate citizen."Clinton Power Station is located approximately six miles east of Clinton, Ill. At full power, the station produces approximately 1,065 net megawatts of carbon-free electricity.

The citys water tank at Thompson Park will undergo major repairs.
The Watertown City Council informally agreed Monday night to spend $913,000 to repair the 250,000-gallon tank instead of replacing it.
Consultant Conestoga-Rovers & Associates, Syracuse, had recommended the repairs rather than appropriating $1.37 million for a new tank. The city has budgeted $500,000 for rehabilitation.
The consultant also determined the cost of maintaining the tank over the next 30 years would be $365,200, bringing the total cost over that period to $1,278,000. Projection for the new tank, including maintenance, was $1,376,800.
During the discussion Monday night, Councilwoman Teresa R. Macaluso wondered why the city would not just demolish the old tank and replace it with a new one since the costs were similar.
City Manager Sharon A. Addison said it would be better for the city to make the repairs. She said the consultant and Water Superintendent Michael J. Sligar concluded making the repairs was more cost effective.
Businesswoman Sheila F. Barney-Pullus credited Mr. Sligar with getting the project off the ground and said it took 13 years for the city to get to this point.
The tank was installed at Thompson Park the highest point in the city in 1978 to provide adequate water pressure to the neighborhood surrounding the park and to properties along Gotham Street and to feed some underground city tanks in the park.
The city learned that corrosion in the tank has increased by such an amount since a 2000 inspection that the entire protective interior must be replaced, according to a Nov. 13 memo from Mr. Sligar. Despite updated quotes being sought, nothing was ever done, Mr. Sligar wrote after looking in subsequent files.
Council members also discussed a $1 million project to install a 3,000-foot water main to run parallel to a line that runs from Thompson Boulevard to the reservoir tanks at the park. The new line would provide redundancy in the water supply for the 100-year-old line in case of a break or the need for repairs.
Members agreed to spend up to $94,300 for GHD Consulting Services, Cazenovia, to design the new line.
Last month, the council approved a $35,900 contract with GHD, but a memo from Ms. Addison said the scope of the work has increased, so it merits the additional money.

I am trying to enlist at the age of thirty. I have three kids and their ages are 10, 8, and 3. the older two think that it is "cool" mommy is going to enlist. How do I explain to my three year old that I will be going away for a while?

Enlisting with 3 kids under the age of 10...Tags: None
Re: Enlisting with 3 kids under the age of 10...
I just enlisted and I have a 5 year old daughter. We just sat her down and explained to her what was going to happen and tried to play up the positives. At first she didn't want to hear it, but after a few days she adjusted to the idea. As a parent, I'm sure you know that kids are very resilient. But I'm sure it may be a little different with a 3 year old. It will probably be a little difficult for them to comprehend if mommy has always been there. I know, this probably doesn't help at all. Good luck though!
Re: Enlisting with 3 kids under the age of 10...
It's definitely a difficult situation to deal with the little ones when having to explain about going away for training (or possibly a deployment). It's nice that you have support from your older ones, but with the young one, I would "play up the positives, as sv9cannon mentioned, and take it from there. When a Soldier joins the Guard, their family does too. It can be taxing, at times.
Re: Enlisting with 3 kids under the age of 10...
Thank you so much. I know she will be taken care of while I am gone, but Mommy and grandma have been the only consistent people in their lives. My ex mom in law will be taking care of her, I just don't want her to feel abandoned.

Leland's Nature Boy Lanyard, Loaded:
Get organized and rig like a pro.
A fly fishing lanyard is nothing new. They've been around for many years in an attempt to gather the necessary fly fishing tools in one useful place. Some lanyards are a bit too cute with the use of wine corks or even turquoise rock (Yes, I said turquoise), but cute doesn't necessarily mean functional. We thought it was time for an upgrade.
The Leland Lanyard is hand crafted in the USA by Nature Boy Designs. Like us at Leland, "NBD" believes that no fly fishing product should ever be offered to you unless it deserves to exist. Well, this lanyard does. This hand-crafted product is fully adjustable to fit not only you, but to hold your handy fly fishing tools right where you need them. There's even a smartly-placed clamp to keep your lanyard from banging around as you fish, as well as a safety release in case you get roped up.
But we're not done. This Nature Boy Designs lanyard comes fully-loaded with all the necessary fly fishing tools any angler might need, including: nipper, zinger, forceps and a tippet-t (for holding spools of tippet). You can wear it around your neck or you can modify it to fit the shoulder straps of your trusty waders. Everything just makes sense.
So stop banging around every pocket in your vest looking for the right tool. With the Leland Lanyard, your stream side tools will be right where you want them, right when you need them for quick, easy access and fast rigging. Now you can spend even more time fishing.

Hammond Central School Superintendent Douglas H. McQueer, clad in school colors, red and white, monitored the schools halls Thursday, making sure students reached their classes.
Its one of the many ways Mr. McQueer assists staff throughout the school year. He also helps prepare the athletic fields in August and the maintenance crew with heavy lifting, and tutors students in his favorite subject, math.
He said parents have his cell phone number in case they need to call him about student concerns.
I try to help whenever I can whatever I can do to help get things done, he said.
Mr. McQueer is ending an 18-year career as a teacher and administrator within the district.
Mr. McQueers contract was not renewed in July, even though he was reappointed by board members. But Mr. McQueer harbors no ill will towards his alma mater.
From the community to students, teachers and staff – everyone has been great, he said. Hopefully they will do well in the future.
Interim Superintendent Randy C. Richards, will take over in the coming days.
Teachers wished Mr. McQueer well Friday while throwing a celebration in his honor.
I would like to thank Mr. McQueer for his years of service to Hammond Central School, Hammond Teachers Association President Kim Slate said. I wish him good luck in his future endeavors.
Mr. McQueer has a long history with the district. Portions of Mr. McQueers family farm were sold to build Hammond Central School in the 1950s.
But Mr. McQueer wasnt always sold on a career in education. For a time, he said he juggled ideas about becoming a veterinarian, teacher or an accountant.
I was always good in school, said the 1980 valedictorian. I was considering becoming a veterinarian because I grew up on a farm. But then I thought I always got along well with kids.
Mr. McQueer received his bachelor of arts degree in mathematics from SUNY Potsdam in 1988 before receiving his masters from St. Lawrence University. He student-taught and subbed at Parishville Central School until he saw there was an opening in his hometown.
Mr. McQueer began teaching eighth through 12th grade mathematics in the same room he was taught in.
During that time he worked alongside his fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade teacher, Douglas E. Delosh.
I remember him playing basketball, Mr. McQueer said. He was an excellent player. He would take students over to Potsdam State to see them play.
Now retired and serving as Town Board member, Mr. Delosh said he has fond memories of working with Mr. McQueer.
While Mr. McQueer said he had no administrative aspirations, he offered to take over as assistant principal when no one wanted the job, he said.
School Board President James Tague later approached Mr. McQueer to apply as superintendent. On July 1, 2006, Mr. McQueer began his term as superintendent.
I didnt want to at first, but the district pushed and the teachers were very supportive, he said.
During his time as superintendent, Mr. McQueer said he has been proud of the amount of money the district has saved in a time when many districts are struggling against insolvency and the variety of Distance Learning programs offered.
We offer DL in almost any subject students want. Now they are taking advanced English, psychology and social science classes, Mr. McQueer said. I hear it so many times from parents, going to Hammond is like getting a private school education with public dollar.
Mr. Delosh said he is sad to see Mr. McQueer leave the district.
In my 41-plus years of education, I think he is one of the finest administrators we have had, he said. He has done a superb job, and this is a tremendous loss for the community.
As for the future, Mr. McQueer said he would like to continue working in the field of education. He said he is hopeful about the future of Hammond.
This building is family, he said. Two thirds of our staff were born here or raised somewhere nearby in the north country. A lot of teachers know the kids. Its hard for kids to fall through the cracks with so many eyes watching them. Thats the advantage of a small school.

|Gas Levels Off--For Now
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 17 March 2011 05:48
What's been out of the news for the last week? Gas prices. Our BP Barometer shows only a penny increase locally since last Wednesday, when prices jumped another nickel a gallon.
Unrest continues across the oil producing North African region, specifically Libya, but with that civil war not leading to any gas supply problems, the spikes have leveled off over the past week.

|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 07 May 2007 04:42
The murals are expected to take about 45 days to complete. Working on a scaffold as high as 75 feet, Council will combine acrylic and water-based paint to create a three-dimensional effect. The central theme, "A Quest for Knowledge," will dominate the mural through symbols and representational forms focusing on Appalachian's academic and athletic programs. The mural will also highlight the history of the community of Boone and the university's continuing legacy. The work is expected to be unveiled in July.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- With another fiscal year comes another budget shortfall for Maine's Medicaid program, also known as Maine Care.
According to Mary Mayhew, the Commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services, spending has become difficult to predict, as the program's neediest patients cost the state more and more money.
"Twenty percent of our members account for 87 percent of our spending," said Mayhew an interview last week.
"There's no doubt that for those who are consuming the vast majority of the resources in the Medicaid Program, that their spend is increasing," she said.
Although he hasn't studied the state's budget, Dr. Jeffrey Brenner of the New Jersey-based Camden Coalition said he thinks Maine is on the "cutting edge" of reducing health-care costs with a new program called the Community Care Team Providers.
Maine's CCT and Dr. Brenner's Camden Coalition have a similar model: identify the most expensive patients in the system and connect them with the best primary care resources with the goal of creating fewer trips to the hospital, thereby reducing healthcare costs for the state.
In a presenation to CCT members in Augusta, Dr. Brenner said Maine has a "front row seat" to observe the effects of rising health care costs.
Maine has the oldest population, and has some of the highest health care costs.
Maine's CCT program is just nine months old, and is still a "pilot program," but leaders are optimistic their work can improve the cost and quality of health care, especially for Maine's neediest patients.

COLTON The Town Council has rescinded a local law that permitted all-terrain vehicle use over an approximately 3-mile area, consisting of sections of Morgan and Windmill roads and Cold Brook Drive.
The law had been approved in August, generating a split reaction in the hamlet.
ATV enthusiasts were thrilled with the news, but six town residents filed an Article 78 appeal opposing the law in October.
About 20 people, including a handful of ATV users, were at the town hall Wednesday for the public hearing to rescind the law and the regular board meeting that followed.
Despite the rescinding, Town Supervisor Dennis B. Bulger expressed optimism for a reworking of the law in the coming months.
What the town is in the process of doing, because the county has intervened as well, the county attorney is working with the town attorney. They have met and have gone through the whole packet, and its their joint recommendation that we go ahead and rescind the present law rather than seeing it through to the Article 78 and redo it, Mr. Bulger said. At this time, the county also will be bringing on board some professional people in the SEQR (State Environmental Quality Review Act) and the environmental impact area to take a look at that whole area one more time. At that point, when they have that completed or prior to it, the town will then go through the procedure again of coming up with a town law to open up those same roads.
A big part of what they found in their review is, its more of a procedural type of thing than anything else at this point. But they are looking at that, they are working on that. Theyll redo the environmental area.
Mr. Bulger added that there was always a chance that the law would be rescinded, especially with details regarding open road use on Route 56.
I think it was understood from day one that the town law would have to be rescinded if the town did not open up Route 56. We were told that the town needed to pass the law first, open up our roads before the state could open up theirs, he said.
Following meetings with the county, the town would like to have in place a model law that can be used by other towns in the north country.

What Is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis, which can damage a woman's reproductive organs. Even though symptoms of chlamydia are usually mild or absent, serious complications that cause irreversible damage, including infertility, can occur "silently" before a woman ever recognizes a problem. Chlamydia also can cause discharge from the penis of an infected man.
How Common Is Chlamydia?Chlamydia is the most frequently reported bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the United States. In 2008, 1,210,523 chlamydial infections were reported to CDC from 50 states and the District of Columbia. Under-reporting is substantial because most people with chlamydia are not aware of their infections and do not seek testing. Also, testing is not often done if patients are treated for their symptoms. An estimated 2,291,000 non-institutionalized U.S. civilians ages 14-39 are infected with C. trachomatis based on the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Women are frequently re-infected if their sex partners are not treated.

(3) the criteria applied in determining eligibility for services (such as income eligibility guidelines, sliding fee scales, the effect of public assistance benefits, and any requirements for enrollment in school or training programs); and
(4) the methods by which services were provided, showing separately the services provided by public agencies and those provided by private agencies, and broken down in each case to reflect the types of services and circumstances involved.
The Secretary shall establish uniform definitions of services for use by the States in preparing the information required by this subsection, and make such other provision as may be necessary or appropriate to assure that compliance with the requirements of this subsection will not be unduly burdensome on the States.

Editor's note: Robert A. Pastor is professor and co-director of the Center for Democracy and Election Management at American University and author of "The North American Idea: A Vision of a Continental Future." The views expressed in this article are solely those of Robert A. Pastor.
By Robert A. Pastor, Special to CNN
The main question asked about the Mexican presidential elections on July 1 is whether victory by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) means that Mexico will return to its authoritarian past.
The answer is simple: The PRI has changed because Mexico has changed. For more than six decades, the PRI manipulated elections and ruled Mexico in a quasi-authoritarian system. However, between 1988 until 2000, two Mexican presidents – Carlos Salinas de Gortari and Ernesto Zedillo – gradually responded to internal and external pressures and opened the economy and the political system.
I have observed elections in Mexico since 1986 and witnessed the transformation of the election system from the worst to the best in the Americas. The projected victory by PRI candidate Enrique Peña Nieto will not turn Mexico backwards. Mexicans have chosen democracy, and after two terms under PAN presidents, they are voting for change.
Indeed, in this year when the United States is engaged in a ferocious campaign for the presidency, the question that ought to be asked is: How does the U.S. electoral system compare to Mexico's? I undertook a comprehensive study of the electoral systems in North America, and the good news is that the United States came in third. The bad news is that there are only three countries in North America.
In fact, the Mexican electoral system is much fairer, professional, independent and non-partisan than the U.S. system on all eight criteria for assessing election administration:
1. Nonpartisan election administration. Mexico's Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) is a nonpartisan, professional institution in which political party representatives have access but no control. IFE manages a nation-wide system with uniform rules. In contrast, the United States has 13,000 counties and municipalities that manage our national elections with different rules and less capacity. Partisan officials generally control the process, and in a close election, the opposition is often suspicious of the result.
Follow the Mexican election coverage in Spanish at CNNMéxico.com
2. Registration and identification of voters. IFE actively registers about 95% of 77 million eligible voters and gives each a biometric, photo ID card, which Mexicans use as a primary identification. The registration list is audited regularly, and the photos of the voters are on the list in each polling site.
In contrast, U.S. states and communities passively register about 55% of eligible voters, and the lists are flawed with many duplicates and errors, especially between states and counties. Each state has different rules, and in states where Republicans have a majority, their focus on preventing electoral fraud has led them to restrict registration and require IDs, while Democrats are more concerned about voters' access and believe the Republican ID laws are aimed to suppress voter turnout from poor people or minorities. The truth is that we ought to adopt Mexico's national, biometric ID system. That would eliminate duplicates and simplify the registration and voting process.
Related: Voter ID laws: Discrimination or 'no big deal'?
3. Poll workers. Mexico views the conduct of elections like Americans view jury duty – a civic obligation – and they recruit on a random basis a large number of people from each district. They are well-trained in every stage of the electoral process. When I asked a U.S. election official about the criteria for choosing poll workers, he said: "I'll take anyone with a pulse." Most poll workers are very senior citizens without the kind of stamina necessary to manage a polling station for 12 hours, and in most cases, they are poorly trained as compared to their Mexican counterparts.
4. Campaign finance/corruption. Each of Mexico's main political parties receive approximately $24 million of public financing for a three-month campaign. They can also receive 10% of their funds from supporters, but no one can give more than $71,000. In contrast, in the United States, there will be an estimated $6 billion raised privately, and with the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, corporations can spend unlimited amounts of money. Major contributors could have extraordinary access and substantial influence over public policy. Some would define that as corruption on a scale that even the drug cartels couldn't compete.
5. Equitable access to the media/negative advertising. IFE pays for media advertising, and ensures that the candidates have equal access. IFE also tries to discourage any negative advertising. A substantial amount of the $6 billion raised by the candidates in the United States goes for media advertising, and a recent study showed that 70 percent of ads in this year's presidential contest has been negative. Just think what $6 billion could do as an endowment to a university; it would have lasting positive effects. Who believes that negative advertising can have a lasting positive effect?
6. Neutralizing incumbency. Since its revolution, Mexico's constitution prohibits re-election in order to prevent incumbents from using government to manipulate the electoral process. IFE goes even further by trying to prevent the president from even campaigning in the most indirect way for his party's candidates. In the United States, incumbents have a huge advantage in fund-raising because special interests can contribute to members of Congress while they are writing laws.
7. Judging disputes. Mexico has minutely-detailed election laws, and a professional and independent Electoral Tribunal to judge election disputes. The United States has few laws and no court with the expertise to settle such disputes.
8. Observers. Mexico invites international polling observers while the U.S. government does not welcome any international observers, and only two states allow them.
It was partly because of decades of electoral fraud that the Mexican people decided to construct a completely professional, independent and nonpartisan election organization. This has not eliminated all problems, but as compared to the thousands of complaints received by U.S. election authorities, the concerns from Mexico are minor.
A measure of commitment is that Mexico's IFE spends roughly 10 times more per capita than the United States to manage a state-of-the-art electoral process. The U.S. system is so antiquated, decentralized, dysfunctional, under-funded with public resources, and over-funded with private interest money that it behooves us Americans to stop asking whether the PRI is a return to the past in Mexico and to start asking why can't our electoral system be as good as Mexico's.
The U.S. could and the U.S. should establish an independent national nonpartisan election administration with a national biometric ID, a single national (or inter-operable) registration list, restrictions on private funding, public financing for short campaigns, poll workers that are recruited by lot and well-trained, disincentives for negative advertising, independent electoral courts, and international and domestic observers. There is much work for us to do before we can catch up to Mexico.
– The views expressed in this article are solely those of Robert A. Pastor.
This article is so dumb. If you have nothing else to write, please do not wire this nonsense. Mexico has no real democracy and the election system is a fraud. Please go learn something and then discuss it. FYI last years presidency (Calderon) was the first time they used a computer to vote. FYI one of the engineers of that system was Calderon's brother. Ballots were duplicated, in a town of 5,000 all of a sudden there were 8,000 votes. I can keep going but im too lazy to educate you.
ELMASCHANTA = elmoor
Please write something with meat about the elections in Mexico and not just the bounes! Talk about the FRAUDE in the Mexican elections! as it seems the Media from the US is also afraid of them! Obama what are you waiting for??? Send the information to the right people in Mexico to get rid of the corrupt PRI party, unless you also have connections with them! It is SAD!
this s completely untrue !!you have no idea what you're talking about im mexican a and i live in mexico ,.....
this person clearly has no idea of what is talking about, you have to live in mexico to know that. Last year IFE was taken from us, meaning it was an independent insitucion, now is part of the government, and this is when we lost the power given to us by voting
Mexico spring.
The Mexican election was one of the most obvious Frauds i have seen.
With vote buying ,monopoly media lying on poles, duplicated ballots , and
Peña exceding the legal spending by at least 20 .
This article is quite strange considering what the British, French, German, and
Arab media have covered.
"by at least 20" what?
you are not american you didnt fight with all your blood and sweat that you would have your own country this is our you thik you hit the laughtery but you didnt because you know what you cant even aford health care an dyou saying the statue of liberty is your freedom is that a joke that was our freedom an dthis is not a free country for you it is ours you tried to conqouer are country but you werent good enough and if now you thoght you could no america and england and all over would beat you becuase your wrong think of it this way America is the son of ENGLAND AND aMERICAS GRANMA IS IS iRELAND AND aMERICAS GRANDPA IS scottland AND YOU DONT MESS WITH DADDY OR GRANDMA OR GRANDPA BEACUASE WE ACTUALLY SUCCEDED IN FIGHTING A COUNTRY AND WINNING AND BY THE WAY YOU ARE NOT aMERICAN MEXICAN THERE IS NO SUCH THIS YOU ARE ILLIGAL MEXICANS AND YOU WILL BE DEPORTRD AND YOU CANT HID LIKE A NAZI WE WILL FIND YOU BECAUSE YOURE NOT THAT SMART
It seams you lack the knoledge to debate about this subject, you are it seams, ignorant to the fact that america was indian land, you are the illegal, having mentiond that, your comment is void, go get an education please, because i dont care what you think you are, im human and i dont want to live in a world of ignorant humans, that is all
Yale for Law school? wow, so sorry that they have admitted such a student. The way you talk and the fact that youre going to Yale makes me wonder how it is that you got in. Hopefully you learn how to write much better at Law school. Good luck :]
black people have the power but you dont look at obama hes surely going to escort you from our country it will be like watching NCIS a police squad comes in and you know what happens after that dont you you go to jain or something and trust me these are not harsh words the nazi said worse things
you dont know anything on electing presidents either way here in the good old USA for us you will be deported
if anyone should be learning you should be its luck that you came in third when you dont know much about polatics
This is an outrageous, pontificating, albeit delusional, article about fixing a system that is nowhere near as broken as the one being written about. I live in México, in fact, I live in the most dangerous city in México, Ciudad Juárez. And even though violence is one thing, and elections are another, they have many things in common when it comes to México's politics. To present eight points in support of a corrupt system is not only silly, but you're insulting every English-reading (or Google translating) Mexican's intelligence to the Nth degree. This is very irresponsible reporting, sir.
"Major contributors could have extraordinary access and substantial influence over public policy. Some would define that as corruption on a scale that even the drug cartels couldn't compete."
Seriously? C'mon, man. This article is utterly ridiculous.
What about Greenland??? Aren't there FOUR countries in North America????
With all due respect Fareed, you are turning a blind eye to the corruption that reigned in this election. Vote buying was massive and widespread, and fortunately for us, social media has all the proofs to uncover it. Your FBI uncovered duplicate ballots, and the printing house for the election accepted printing an additional 2.5 million ballots which were delivered to the states on July 6th, a week after the election, can you tell me why?
I had not seen your program before today but had heard good comments. When I watched your interview of Pena Nieto I was very disappointed...funny enough I could tell even you got frustrated when Pena through a translator wasn't able to answer any of your questions. He is the representative of everything that is corrupt in Mexico, whether you like it or not, and the election was a great example of it
Even Al-Jazeera proved that votes were bought, not sure why you can't see it. If the candidates in the US were to behave the same way
I disagree. Please look at the reports of ballot fraud in Mexico's last election. Many ballets were thrown away. Televisa announced Pena Nieto as winner two years ago. Also televisa demonized and ridiculized the PRD candidate in many comedies. They also somehow managed to get dead mexicans to vote for PRI. I show as voted for PRI and I did not even visited the country. They also showed 1000 votes for PRI when only 700 people registered for that area. I would hate to have this in America.
"Many ballets were thrown away"
many tutu wearers are sad.
A great article, and something that would lead to equitable reform in our election system. Not sure that we could get to enough of a consensus to agree on all of these, but it seems that each would stand on its own as a change to consider.
1st difference, Electoral system in Mexico is based on distruth, everything is build up under the premise (a real one) that all parties will try to cheat, so that makes it a really very expensive process, if not one of the expensiers in the world bcs all of the controls that have to be made. And bcs of those controls is one of the safest It's actually a really good system (that can get improved as everything can improve) of course if you have a flood (corruption) trying to brake through you can't expect you won't have some places where the damp leaks, but the important thing is that the damp holds
Now, there are 2 types of 'frauds' the actuall fraud where physical votes are tampered and the inequities. It's clear that the first type din't have an impact in the final result, no with that margin difference and besides all parties had an observator in every poll.
For the second type unfairness; that's so hard to prove and all of the parties had their share i think left can argue with reason that there were a lot and that's something needs to be solved but they can't say honestly that they did none so in their minds to steal a little is different than to steal a lot and since they cheat less they deserve to win.
So as a poster said before, americans trusth their politicians, I don't know why , they trusth their corporations, that also is beyond my comprehension, and that's whay they have the messy sytem they have. But they're like ' hey my brother can be a liar, a thief, can be corrupted but no one in the world can say it only I have the right to' and that's avoiding reality
Now, even if Mexico had an utopic, perfect electoral system there will be always people claiming fraud...
It is truly a nice and helpful piece of info. I am glad that you simply shared this helpful info with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.

this article is terribly wrong, Mexico has fraud writen all over it
Hu mom
This is the perfect web site for anybody who really wants to understand this topic. You know a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a topic which has been written about for decades. Wonderful stuff, just wonderful!|

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
As we all have seen on television that the state is spending a lot of money trying to get everyone to "slow the flow."
But it's hard to hear that message, and make any meaning of it when the state itself builds new buildings that don't take that saying into account.
Case in point; the new Division of Natural Resources building on Carbonville Road.
It's a great building and I'm glad that the DNR can gather all its divisions into one place; it makes it simpler for everyone. No argument there.
The building was built by the county and is on a lease to own basis to the DNR. But the building was built to the DNR's specifications and the landscaping came with the package.
That landscaping is beautiful, but there is a problem. Look on the east and southeast side of the building and see all the lawn that was planted there. That lawn needs water; a lot of it. We live in a much drier place than Salt Lake, and yet there are those wonderful blades of grass poking up that will take a lot of water year after year after year.
Xeriscaping (a lot of people call it zeroscaping) is something the state and a lot of cities are pushing; and yet here is a state building in which the planners ignored that advice, at least on part of their property.
It seems this year the county is the winner when it comes to finding ways to save water on landscaping. The Carbon County Events Center looks beautiful outside and there is literally no grass around it. It was built with water efficiency in mind.
I am not sure what kind of grass is around the DNR building, but even it it is the water saving kind, it is still less efficient than plants natural to the area.
So why does a building that houses some of the very agencies concerned with water have an expanse of lawn around it when water in our area is so tight? I'm sure someone will blame the architect or the designers. But let's face it, they only do what the client wants.
It seems the state is a "do as I say, but not as I do" entity.
Not much we can do about it now; but I hope everytime those sprinklers come on during a hot July evening people, and officials, think about what could have been.

Mind-Body Medicine
Saybrook Mind-Body Medicine faculty interviewed in Washington Times
There's a problem, says Dr. Eric Willmarth, when patients get their expectations for recovery set by "a Xanax commercial."
In much of medicine, it really is "mind over matter." The trouble is most doctors and hospitals don't practice that way.
That's why Dr. Donald Moss, chair of Saybrook's School of Mind-Body Medicine, told the Washington Times a story about a patient who had a heart attack, and whose "ejection faction" (a measure of how well the heart was pumping) was at 60%. His doctor told him "Your ejection fraction is 60%," and left.
The patient assumed this meant his heart was functioning at 60% of capacity, and suffered a pronounced decline in his physical health.
But in fact, 60% is a *normal* rating for ejection fraction, and extremely good in a patient who's suffered a heart attack. Once this was explained to the patient, he made a full recovery.
The divide between what medical culture tells patients they ought to be feeling, and what they can actually do, is the subject of an article in The Washington Times online that interviews Dr. Moss and two other members of Saybrook's Mind-Body Medicine faculty.
Dr. Willmarth, a leading expert in medical hypnosis and a member of Saybrook's faculty, says there is a change coming, but it's coming from the grassroots efforts of patients, who are demanding better treatments and declaring themselves independent of the pharmaceutical lobby.
This time it's doctors and hospitals playing catch-up to what patients already know: that a medical system that won't talk to them, won't explain conditions clearly, and especially won't listen, is broken. They can do better.

LOWVILLE Last March, Lewis County General Hospital held a groundbreaking ceremony for its dialysis project.
One year later, the project finally appears to be on track, with an opening possible by March 2014.
The administration, the board and the legislators all are looking very forward to providing this service to the community and getting this project in place, said Eric R. Burch, CEO of the county-owned hospital. It has been a priority, and it has been a long process. We want to see it come to fruition.
Mr. Burch told hospital managers Wednesday that he received an electronic copy of a signed lease agreement with DaVita Inc. earlier this week. And, although still awaiting confirmation of expected grant funding, he plans to bring the long-discussed project to county legislators next week to push it forward.
The state Department of Health in early 2011 approved a certificate of need for DaVita to operate a dialysis clinic on the hospitals North State Street campus.
However, it has taken the better part of two years to iron out project details, particularly a 10-year lease agreement with DaVita.
The planned center would provide a local treatment option for Lewis County residents who now must travel to Watertown or Utica to receive dialysis. Up to 30 dialysis patients in Lewis County typically undergo four-hour treatments three days a week.
Bernier, Carr & Associates, Watertown, has designed a 7,200-square-foot addition off the west side of the Medical Arts Buildings first floor and basement to accommodate the dialysis center. Upon completion of the building shell, the hospital would turn it over to DaVita, which would do the interior finish work.
While the construction cost estimate has risen to $1.7 million over the past few years, thanks to design alterations and inflation, most of it is expected to be covered by grant funding.
A $300,000 grant was awarded by Empire State Development Corp. in December. Hospital officials are hopeful that at least another $900,000 in grant funding will be available through the state Department of Health for the project, and they continue to seek additional funding sources.
The Lewis County Hospital Foundation has also collected roughly $100,000 through fund-raising efforts for the dialysis project, Mr. Burch said.
Any outstanding expenses would hopefully be recouped within a few years through $124,000 in annual rental income from DaVita.
Along with rent, DaVita also will reimburse the hospital for maintenance and housekeeping services, electricity, heating and water and sewer services.
Assuming the grant funding comes through, the county should not need to take on more borrowing for the project, Mr. Burch said. Plans are for the hospital to cover any needed funding with county reserves, then pay it back as the lease payments come in, he said.
DaVita plans to lease only a little more than 5,000 square feet of the addition, leaving some space in the basement for other possible uses, Mr. Burch said.
The idea of a dialysis center here has been floated for the better part of the past decade.
County legislators in 2006 and 2007 supported certificate-of-need submissions that would have allowed Renal Care of Northern New York, Watertown, to set up a dialysis operation here, but those plans never came to fruition.
Faxton St. Lukes Healthcare, Utica, in fall 2009 submitted another certificate-of-need application. However, by the time the project received state approval, Faxton St. Lukes officials had decided not to move forward, leaving local officials searching for another partner. They eventually found one in DaVita, a company based in Denver, Colorado, that operates similar centers throughout the country.
