CUMBERLAND — The 66-year-old victim of last week's violent home invasion at 124 Overhill Road in Cumberland has been identified as Harvey O. Salvas, who also is a staff member of the Rhode Island Governor's Commission on Disabilities.
Salvas is the commission's state Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) coordinator specializing in accessibility and assistive technology. He is also a former building official in Cumberland.
In other new information related to the case, police say the three masked bandits who broke into Salvas' home last Wednesday night had gone there specifically to steal guns owned by Salvas. Last week, police would only say that the home had been the target of the intruders, and that the burglary was not a random act.
Police say the suspects, who remain at large, did manage to escape with an unidentified number of firearms that had been kept in a gun locker in Salvas' basement. Police are not sure how the intruders knew the guns were inside the home.
Salvas, who struggled with the suspects before they escaped, was taken to Rhode Island Hospital where he was treated and released for a non-life threatening injury to the head. Salvas had told police that one of the intruders possessed a firearm, and another possessed some type of bladed weapon. Earlier police reports stated that Salvas had suffered a gunshot wound to his head, but police are still not commenting on the definitive cause of the injury, saying it is still unclear whether Salvas was injured by a gun firing or the knife blade.
Police, however, do not dispute the fact that a violent struggle did ensue when Salvas returned home last Wednesday to find the three masked men in his home. Police said the department received a call around 10 p.m. of a report of a burglary that had taken place at a residence.
"The resident, a 66-year-old male, came home to find three masked intruders in the basement of his home," Police Chief John Desmarais said in a statement last week. "A struggled ensued resulting in the homeowner receiving a head injury as well as injuries to his hand and legs. After the struggle police were able to determine that the intruders fled the residence by stealing the homeowner's vehicle (a gray 2000 Jeep). After canvassing the area police were able to locate the stolen vehicle the next street over, near a wooded area."
Police have reported that Salvas' wife was home at the time of the break-in, but was upstairs and not in sight of the burglars.
The three white males, said to be in their teens or early 20s, were still at large as of today. An all-points bulletin was put out for the suspects, all wearing black hats and masks. They were said to be armed and considered dangerous.

|WHS Offer 'On the Table,' County to Counter
$14.2 Million—the bid is officially on the table for the Old Watauga High property from Fuqua Development. But the issue is, after 7% commission is paid—$994,000, "But is that enough," the question posed by commission chair Nathan Miller, to which there were at least three 'no's heard.
Watauga Commissioners struggled with the amount, especially in light that the same firm 6 years ago made an offer nearly twice that, but Robert Armstrong, representing the bidder, said that new Town of Boone rules have made it much harder to develop the site, "This is a very hard site to develop because the city of Boone expects this to be developed in one phase. If you do it in two phases, then they want you to put up a performance bond based on the overall value of the remaining improvements which just totally drives this deal into the ground." He, answering a comment from commissioner Perry Yates, said, "We came in and made a significantly higher offer but there were substantially less challenging constraints on this site from a developer point of view." Commissioners tabled the matter, hoping to make a counter offer at their August 6th meeting, Armstrong saying that Fuqua is ready to move forward, "We're coming in here not to tie this thing up. We're coming in here to produce a product, to get it out of the ground and get it open as soon as possible."

16 U.S. Code § 2506 - Local commitments to system recovery and maintenance
(a) Recovery action programs; preliminary action programs; five-year recovery action programs; continuing planning process
As a requirement for project approval, local governments applying for assistance under this chapter shall submit to the Secretary evidence of their commitments to ongoing planning, rehabilitation, service, operation, and maintenance programs for their park and recreation systems. These commitments will be expressed in local park and recreation recovery action programs which maximize coordination of all community resources, including other federally supported urban development and recreation programs. During an initial interim period to be established by regulations under this chapter, this requirement may be satisfied by local government submissions of preliminary action programs which briefly define objectives, priorities, and implementation strategies for overall system recovery and maintenance and commit the applicant to a scheduled program development process. Following this interim period, all local applicants shall submit to the Secretary, as a condition of eligibility, a five-year action program for park and recreation recovery that satisfactorily demonstrate: [1]
(2) adequate planning for rehabilitation of specific recreation areas and facilities, including projections of the cost of proposed projects;
(3) capacity and commitment to assure that facilities provided or improved under this chapter shall thereafter continue to be adequately maintained, protected, staffed, and supervised;
(4) intention to maintain total local public outlays for park and recreation purposes at levels at least equal to those in the year preceding that in which grant assistance is sought beginning in fiscal year 1980 except in any case where a reduction in park and recreation outlays is proportionate to a reduction in overall spending by the applicant; and
(5) the relationship of the park and recreation recovery program to overall community development and urban revitalization efforts.
Where appropriate, the Secretary may encourage local governments to meet action program requirements through a continuing planning process which includes periodic improvements and updates in action program submissions to eliminate identified gaps in program information and policy development.
(b) Recovery action program special considerations
Action programs shall address, but are not limited to the following considerations:
(1) Rehabilitation of existing recreational sites and facilities, including general systemwide renovation; special rehabilitation requirements for recreational sites and facilities in areas of high population concentration and economic distress; and restoration of outstanding or unique structures, landscaping, or similar features in parks of historical or architectural significance.
(2) Local commitments to innovative and cost-effective programs and projects at the neighborhood level to augment recovery of park and recreation systems, including but not limited to recycling of abandoned schools and other public buildings for recreational purposes; multiple use of operating educational and other public buildings; purchase of recreation services on a contractual basis; use of mobile facilities and recreational, cultural, and educational programs or other innovative approaches to improving access for neighborhood residents; integration of recovery program with federally assisted projects to maximize recreational opportunities through conversion of abandoned railroad and highway rights-of-way, waterfront, and other redevelopment efforts and such other federally assisted projects as may be appropriate; conversion of recreation use of street space, derelict land, and other public lands not now designated for neighborhood recreational use; and use of various forms of compensated and uncompensated land regulation, tax inducements, or other means to encourage the private sector to provide neighborhood park and recreation facilities and programs.
The Secretary shall establish and publish in the Federal Register requirements for preparation, submission, and updating of local park and recreation recovery action programs. In order to be eligible to receive "at-risk youth recreation grants" a local government shall amend its 5-year action program to incorporate the goal of reducing crime and juvenile delinquency and to provide a description of the implementation strategies to achieve this goal. The plan shall also address how the local government is coordinating its recreation programs with crime prevention efforts of law enforcement, juvenile corrections, and youth social service agencies.
(c) Recovery action program grants
The Secretary is authorized to provide up to 50 per centum matching grants to eligible local applicants for program development and planning specifically to meet the objectives of this chapter.
[1] So in original. Probably should be "demonstrates:".

|Russian Pointe Muse is a great shoe for feet like mine(wide,square,low arched). I got them with a short vamp and I can finally get all the way over the box. My balance has also improved greatly using this shoe. I got it in the flexible soft shank which, in my opinion, works better for those with lower arches. I only gave 4 stars because I like the sides to be a little lower but all-in-all a wonderful pointe shoe!

The Bet Collector
2006. Philippines. Jeffrey Jeturian. 98 min.
Friday, January 11, 2008, 8:00 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
The Bet Collector
2006. Philippines. Directed by Jeffrey Jeturian. With Gina Pareño, Fonz Deza, Soliman Cruz. Amy, the family matriarch, makes ends meet by running a small convenience store out of her home, but she is forced to supplement her income by working for an illegal numbers game. Her days follow a stressful routine of dodging the police, and her nights are filled with anxiety over the survival of her family, as she counts her meager commissions. The director's brilliant shots of the narrow, crowded streets become part of the psychological portrait of a once-proud woman reduced to working as a petty criminal. Anchoring the film is a luminous, emphatic performance by veteran actress Pareño, who makes vivid not only the daily struggle faced by the Filipino underclass, but also the humor, wit, and charisma her character applies to her unstable profession. The Bet Collector will also shown on Monday, January 14, as part of Modern Mondays. In Tagalog; English subtitles. 98 min.
In the Film exhibition Global Lens, 2008

On June 24 New York became the third state to legalize homosexual marriage through legislation, after the Republican-controlled state Senate voted 33 to 29 to approve a "gay marriage" bill that had earlier sailed through state assembly. Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo, who had made the issue a major component of his campaign for election last year, quickly signed the bill into law.
Passage, however, came only after a core of GOP Senators — James Alesi, Roy MacDonald, Stephen Saland, and Mark Grisanti — caved in to political pressure and announced that they would vote for the bill. "While I understand that my vote will disappoint many," said Saland, "I also know my vote is a vote of conscience."

June, 2007: Greenland
In an unexpected turn of events, a shipwreck off the coast of Greenland has unearthed the existence of a proto-religion predating the current Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (CoFSM).
Archeologists from Greenland University have been studying the ship, now verified as the infamous "Medusa" captained by the beerthirsty pirate "Noodles Jim". According to their findings, lyrics to an 18th century sea shanty were discovered at the site and have proven unequivocally that the FSM deity was revered far earlier than had initially been thought.
Although considered a major triumph for the CoFSM, this new evidence has been an unmitigated disaster for the Rastafarians, who's anthem "Buffalo Soldier" is now shown to be a blatant plagiarism of the recently unearthed sea shanty.
Said Gerta Grunewald, Greenland University's senior pirate archaeologist: "Dere is no doubt dat de lyrics are real artifacts. Our carbon dating tests show de date of creation to be around de year 1745." Curiously, when asked to comment on these findings Rob Henderson, founder of the modern CoFSM, just chuckled.
A foundation for the possible motive of this plagiarism can be found by referencing the 1935 Italian invasion of Ethiopia. Emperor Haile Selassie I, considered to be the earthly symbol of god by the Rastafarians and who is revered as "Jah", was the current monarch of Ethiopia during the Italians' exceptionally brutal invasion. This has of course created an enmity between Rastafarians and the adherents to the CoFSM who are known as "Pastafarians." Although claiming no allegiance to Italy, the CoFSM is undoubtedly lead by a deity resembling one of the major exports of Italy.
Despite the plagiarism, Rastafarians may now have some evidence to support their opinion that the Pastafari are pro-Italian. The recently revealed sea shanty does in fact contain lyrics that link the proto FSM deity, referred to in the song as the "Mozzerella Soldier, Meatball Pasta," to Genoa, one of Italy's largest sea ports.
The Pastafarians have been quick to note that there is currently no other evidence proving the connection between Italy and the CoFSM. Said Sally Snap, a professor of FSM studies at the University of Greenland, "It would be difficult to believe dat Italy, a famously pro-Pope country, could ever be considered as de birthplace of such an anti-Pope religion!" However, Professor Snap did note that many Pastafarians are contemptuous of the belief that Haile Selassi I is a deity. Said Snap: "It is traditional in Ethiopia to call all of dere emperors 'Elect of God King of Kings of Ethiopia' and 'The Lion of the Tribe of Judah.'"
Many Ethiopians are also disturbed by the Rastafarian's deification of Haile Selassi I. Selassi's corrupt government has been considered by many Ethiopians to be a contributing factor in the death of over 200,000 people during Ethiopia's terrible Wollo Famine. When asked to provide a "man on the street" opinion, local Venice Beach inhabitant and self-proclaimed Rastafarian, Fred "Ganja" Smith said, "Dude, I have no idea who this Selassi guy is, but if he can get my landlord to stop reporting me for smoking weed, I will totally follow him. Jah man, PEACE!"
Clearly the debate between the Rastafari and the Pastafari will not be ending any time soon, even with the discovery of the revealing sea shanty. Fortunately, the University of Greenland has published the controversial lyrics, which have been reprinted here. These lyrics are no doubt the foundation for Bob Marley's plagiaristic "Buffalo Soldier," in which he changed less than 10% of the original material:
Mozzarella Soldier, Meatball Pasta:
There was a Mozzarella Soldier in the heart of America,
Stolen from Genoa, brought to America,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
I mean it, when I analyze the stench -
To me it makes a lot of sense:
How the Meatball Pasta was the Mozzarella Soldier,
And he was taken from Genoa, brought to America,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
Said he was a Mozzarella Soldier, Meatball Pasta: -
Mozzarella Soldier in the heart of America.
If you know your history,
Then you would know where you coming from,
Then you wouldn't have to ask me,
Who the heck do I think I am.
I'm just a Mozzarella Soldier in the heart of America,
Stolen from Genoa, brought to America,
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Said he was a Mozzarella Soldier win the war for America.
Noodley, yo ho ho, yo ho ho,
Ay ay ay ay ay, ships ahoy!
Ay ay ay ay ay, ships ahoy,
Ay ay ay ay ay, ships ahoy!
Mozzarella Soldier sailin' through the sea, yo-ho-hoh!
Said he noodley, then you wannabe,
Sailin' through the sea, yea-hea, pasta.
Said he was a Mozzarella Soldier win the war for America;
Mozzarella Soldier, Meatball Pasta,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival;
Driven from the mainland to the heart of the Caribbean.
Singing, yo ho ho, yo ho ho,
Ay ay ay ay ay, ships ahoy!
Ay ay ay ay ay, ships ahoy,
Ay ay ay ay ay, ships ahoy!
Sailin' through San Juan in the arms of America;
Sailin' through Antarctica, a Mozzarella Soldier -
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival:
Mozzarella Soldier, Meatball Pasta.
Yo ho ho, yo ho ho,
Ay ay ay ay ay, ships ahoy!
Ay ay ay ay ay, ships ahoy,
Ay ay ay ay ay, ships ahoy!

So far, it's been a down year for sales tax and hydroelectric power revenues for the city of Watertown.
City Comptroller James E. Mills told the Watertown City Council on Monday night that the city is falling about $1.2 million short in two of its largest sources of revenue.
For the first six months of this fiscal year, projected sales tax figures are down $135,000, or 1.47 percent, from what was approved in the 2013-14 budget.
Over the course of the entire year, Mr. Mills estimates, the sales tax revenue will be down by about $365,000 from what he had projected in the budget. The city had projected sales tax revenue would increase by about 5 percent for the year; it now is expected to go up only 1 percent.
And revenue from the sale of hydroelectric power is down $890,300 — or 22.54 percent compared with the same time last year — based on year-to-date figures, Mr. Mills said.
Normally, the city sells its excess hydroelectric power to National Grid, but production is so low this year that the city has had to purchase electricity from the utility during four of the first seven months of the fiscal year, Mr. Mills said.
"We've had a dry summer, probably a not very heavy winter," Mr. Mills said. He said the situation had not been as bad at any other time in his 10 years as comptroller.
The city has also spent $166,000 more in demolition costs than had been budgeted this year. The city tore down a fire-ravaged building at 239 High St., a former tattoo shop at 606 Factory St. and houses at 123 E. Lynde St. and 209 Sterling St.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham asked about the chances of Ricky E. Frazier paying back the city for demolishing the High Street apartment building. He said the Glen Park resident recently purchased 85-87 Public Square, the building that houses the Crystal Restaurant, for $125,000.
Some people have wondered whether Mr. Frazier used the insurance money from the eight-apartment High Street building, the location of a May 15 arson fire, to purchase the Public Square property, the mayor said.
Using a combination of city workers and a private contractor, the city tore down the building's remnants in early August and hauled away the debris. The city claims its cost for the cleanup was $70,432, for which it is trying to get reimbursed by Mr. Frazier.
Last month, the city filed a lawsuit against Mr. Frazier over the demolition issue. He could not be reached for comment.
Not all the city's revenue news is bad, however. Mr. Mills said mortgage tax revenue is up $182,000, and money brought in from the sale of excess property increased by $172,000, including $85,000 from the former Fort Drum Vehicle Storage warehouse at 753 Rear W. Main St. The nine properties were acquired by the city for back taxes.
"We're pleased with some and not pleased with some of the news," Mr. Graham said.
As a result of the budget shortfalls, Mr. Mills recommended that the city hold off on making some purchases, including three police cars, until revenues improve. He also suggested borrowing the money for the $435,000 pavilion project at the New York State Zoo at Thompson Park.
Council members have earmarked about $305,000 in this year's budget to pay for the structure, which would be built this spring at the site of the zoo's little-used aviary.

SPRINGFIELD, Va. (WUSA) - The entrance to the I-495 Express Lanes in Springfield comes up quickly.Too quickly for six drivers in the first three days of the Express Lanes opening. They swerved into other cars, slammed on their brakes and even stopped in their tracks trying to avoid getting on the toll lanes.
Since the lanes opened on Saturday morning, there have been six crashes right at that Northbound entrance, which is in the two far left lanes just two miles after the Springfield interchange. It is a busy part of theBeltway's Outer Loop where vehicles are merging left to get out of lanes that are ending.
Officials want to remind drivers to keep alert. If they accidentally take the Express Lanes and do not have an EZ Pass,do not stop or swerve to avoid them; keep going. Pierce Coffee with Transurban says you can go to 495ExpressLanes.com and click on "Missed A Toll" to pay and alsoorder an EZ Pass or EZPass Flex if you plan to carpool for free. You'll need to have 3 peopel inyour car to do so, and remember to turn the HOVon.
To help alleviate some of the confusion, V-DOT and Transurban (the company that manages the lanes) are makingthese changes:
- Adding additional colored reflectors to the channelizing posts (white barriers)
- Changing digital messages on electronic signs to read: "new traffic pattern" and "use caution" and "two left lanes express lanes only"
- Extend merge area and alert drivers sooner to the Express Lanes entrance
-Heading north from Springfield Interchange, begin transitional striping (dotted line) in the area where the Springfield Interchange ramps meet the Beltway. This is nearly one mile south of current Express Lanes entrance; this striping more clearly indicates to drivers that the two left lanes will soon turn into Express Lanes
-Heading north from Springfield Interchange, begin solid line warning drivers not to merge lanes approximately 700 feet sooner (further south) than where the solid line begins today
Transurban says it will continue to monitor the situation and advance additional strategies over the coming days, including:
- Add new pavement markings saying "E-ZPass Only" approximately one mile and again one half mile before Express Lanes entrance
-Further enhance channelizing posts in the area of the entrance
Monday morning was the first rush hour commute for the new 495 Express Lanes, which isa 14-mile section runningfrom the Springfield Interchange to just north of the Dulles Toll Road. Drivers coming from Maryland told WUSA 9 that there was also confusion Monday morning at the Southbound Express Lanes entrance in McLean. Nancy McCarthy said people were braking in order to read the toll prices on the overhead message boards.
There have been atleast7 crashes on the Express Lanes since they opened on Saturday.

In case you are at home in the event it occurs, should you really find yourself with this position, strike your urgent car locksmith speed dial number, they are right over, even. Such a thing happens frequently. Girls are notaries for adding their infants in their baby car seats and closing the door, 'Click goes their brain' it hits them the keys are in the ignition, plus they cannot enter into the car. Hire a reliable Hermanos Body Shop & Locksmith Dallas.
Have you ever stopped to contemplate your vehicle's locks? Most people haven't except if they locate they have secured the keys inside. There's quite a background to today's vehicle securing mechanisms and you could be surprised to know just how these locks came to be an integral part of a car's safety measures.
It was up until the 1920's that lock have been installed quite regularly in vehicles. Most vehicles before that were only owned by the rather properly-to-do. These vehicles were preserved by the employees of the automobile owner and seldom were a vehicle still left alone without having anyone caring for it. It grew to become more obvious that automobile locks had been going to be a necessity, as generation number increased.
There utilized to only be a requirement for a automobile locksmith to start a vehicle with a simple pin tumbler secure. However, the advancements in automobile tresses have made the locksmith business grow and alter, as well. Now there are keyless entry techniques, touch cushion systems, as well as bio-tech identification systems. Locksmithing has had to use on a whole new that means, as most of these entry methods have become normal on numerous vehicles.
Many of today's tresses are very require and complex a lot education to open and repair. Just a few years ago, a locksmith needed a engagement ring of master keys, a couple of special tools, and maybe a wedge to help make the task simpler. Today's locksmiths should be highly trained and even specialize in certain kinds of locks, however.
You certainly don't want just any locksmith professional working on your vehicle. You want one that has experience together with your type of car. Not all hair is the same plus some will require special tools that only a few locksmiths will have. If they are capable of work on your automobile, when you begin calling around, be sure you ask. This is particularly new together with the newest model of vehicles.
Don't settle for just anyone. Otherwise, you could end up having damage that is very expensive to change. Sometimes an automobile locksmith could have you indicator a waiver stating they are not in charge of any problems. This could be an indication that the company has had problems in the past. Stay away from signing this waiver and you may want to contact a different company.
As a driver or person, the last place you want to end up is split up on the side of the road. Being secured out of your automobile or not having enough gas can both be just as terrifying and nerve-racking as deteriorating. Who do YOU call for support when trapped in an unfavorable roadside situation When additional keys forget to be all around and you are locked out of your car, it is very important have a prepare.

CLARENCE, N.Y.-Whenever Clarence righthander Mark Armstrong pitches he attracts a crowd. While family and friends are there so are large numbers of baseball scouts.
Armstrong has hit the mid 90's on the radar gun. Most high school pitchers are in the 80's maybe the mid 80's. That explains why scouts from the Red Sox, Cubs, Royals, Brewers, Rockies, Reds and others are closely following every move the big righthander makes.
Right now Armstrong is committed to playing baseball at the University of Pittsburgh. There is speculation he will be drafted anywhere between the first and fourth rounds. If that happens there's always the chance he will decide to turn pro and not pitch for Pittsburgh.
While the fastball is his best pitch there much more to Armstrong than just velocity. He told Two On Your Side's Stu Boyar "I have four pitches. I try to throw the fastball as much as I can but I feel confident I can throw each pitch over the plate for a strike." Clarence head coach Dave Smith told Stu"His mechanics are sound. His control is impeccable. And for a guy who throws as hard as he does that's one of the things that makes him super super tough." Armstrong recently had a stretch where he went 22 innings without walking a batter.
Ray Fagnant is the Boston Red Sox Northeast Regional Scouting Director. He told Stu "the radar gun sometimes is overrated because we'll see kids throwing especially hard they get hit but on days where he doesn't have his best velocity he can pitch. His fastball's got life and he can miss bats and he gets swings and misses."
Looks like whether he chooses to turn pro or to play at Pitt, its a win win for Mark Armstrong.

I have always been a sucker for taffy, but I'm a bit picky about its texture. If it takes a solid 60 seconds to chew a small piece, I'm delighted. If it tears out a tooth filling, I'm sold. It's the same way I feel about beef sticks vs. beef jerky. Jerky challenges the molars, sticks do not.
Enter Bonomo Turkish Taffy into my household last week. (Bonomo's back after a 21-year hiatus.) I gave each flavor (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and banana) a test drive and I lost a filling in the process. No kidding. This stuff is chewy, and if you freeze the bars and crack off pieces, it's a doubly challenging chew. (If you're wondering if all four flavors taste the same as they did in the olden days, I can't vouch for that. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and somehow never came across Bonomo, although it was nationally distributed during my Schoolhouse Rock years.)
The day after the box of Bonomo arrived on my doorstep, my husband turns to me and says, "I met a few young Turks today." Huh? He copped to eating two Bonomo bars in one sitting. His unscientific commentary was that the vanilla bar was surprisingly good despite the fact that the package was open from my taste test 12 hours prior. In the end, he gave banana the thumbs up. My two grammar school-aged children voted chocolate as their favorite flavor, as did their mom. The chocolate flavor is a bit chalky, though, and has a milder taste than its saltwater taffy cousin. This makes sense since Bonomo Turkish Taffy is not made with butter or vegetable oil and is best categorized as a nougat.
So, would I turn around and buy Bonomo Turkish Taffy for the family? Yes, if it weren't for the fact that we're going to the Cubs game this Saturday with our family dentist.

Roadrunner & Artist News
The Lowdown On Glassjaw
Posted on February 12, 2008The Glassjaw camp have released an mp3 of one of the songs they have been recording, "Bartender". Glassjaw's upcoming release, titled Worship And Tribute, is currently due out in the UK on Warners sometime later this year, though you may find it on import from the US in some stores already. Due to ill health, the band have recently postponed their UK shows but hope to reschedule them in the near future.
Some new song titles for ya... "Cosmopolitan Bloodloss", "Midwestern Stylings", "Tip Your Bartender" and "Must Have Run All Day".
Glassjaw has re-released their independent debut titled Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (what came before their amazing Roadrunner debut Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence). The band is currently selling it online HERE. Have yet to hear it myself, however with it carrying the name 'GLASSJAW', surely it must be good shit.
So, tell us about the new songs? "Typical Glassjaw bullshit. Strung out acoustic jam-relaxed- codeine songs to total all-out war! There's a lot of us finding ourselves going on. On the last record there was a lot of influence from Todd and my last band, Sons of Abraham. The material we're writing now is very, very much Glassjaw - whatever that means. "We met with Ross Robinson last week while he was in town mastering Slipknot. It was great to see him. We're looking forward to getting more chairs thrown at us in the studio this time!"
Want to see the video for Siberian Kiss? Click here. This video was culled from a series of shows around the New York/New Jersey area on Glassjaw's Fall tour with power metal leviathans, Shadows Fall. It was done on less than a shoestring by the band's pal, Steve Pedulla: geetartist with NJ weepy-core heroes, Thursday. It shows you what fifty bucks, a couple of falaffel sandwiches and a whole buncha gumption will get you.
While cleaning out the Roadrunner Vaults recently, we discovered a few paragraphs from Daryl Palumbo's diary about Glassjaw's tour with the Deftones last year. We also found a stash of tour photos taken by the band and crew themselves - unedited. Being nosy types, we decided to post them up so you could all read them...
Did you catch the band supporting Soulfly in the UK in Nottingham, Glasgow, and London? Have a look at our TOUR PHOTO SPECIAL!! The band also took time out to host an instore signing session at Tower Records in Piccadilly, London signing everything from guitar plaster casts to giant pairs of underwear (clean we hope)! The photographic evidence is up in the gallery.
Glassjaw are a band that comes out of the New York underground comprised of old vets and fresh faces making a sound that's brutally direct yet soaringly melodic. Produced by Ross Robinson, Glassjaw's Roadrunner/IAM debut touches upon the extremities of beauty and horror...tied directly into the psyche of 20 year old frontman Daryl Palumbo. Think brutality of the Deftones or the Bad Brains, the lushness of Radiohead and the lyrical introspection of vintage Elvis Costello.
The Glassjaw debut album 'Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence' is available now in all good record shops for £11.99.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
I have lived a number of places in my life, worked for two school districts directly, and as a consultant to a number of them in various parts of the country. Nowhere, have I ever seen such professionalism, that is displayed by the bus drivers who operate the big yellow vehicles than in the Carbon School District, even in very large metropolitan school districts.
Over the years I have done a number of stories on the district's bus operation for this newspaper, and I have always found everyone involved to be as good as any I have seen anywhere I have gone. But as we all know, what people say and what they do sometimes can be two different things. A good front or public relations campaign cannot make up for poor service, bad attitudes or poor management.
In the case of Carbon District drivers, they do what they say. And from a public perspective their drivers are some of the best in the state. Their courtesy with the public on the roads is outstanding.
Example? Let me give you one.
I head to work each morning on Carbonville Road. With the construction, going on that road has been a challenge for everyone this fall. Each morning, there are the bus drivers picking up students on this torn up and orange barreled route. Along that road and others I have seen, they do something I have never seen school bus drivers do before. When they are done picking up the kids and their flashing lights are turned off, they pull over to the curb almost immediately and let the drivers who stopped for them pass. And they do it at every stop.
There is nothing more frustrating as a motorist than following a school bus down a busy road where they stop every block to pick up students. Often on these kinds of roads there is no passing even when the flashing lights are turned off. But Carbon District drivers make it easy for motorists to be on the road with them, by allowing all to proceed after the warning lights go off. All the while they keep safety in mind.
The school district should be proud of their drivers and their transportation department.
We as a community are so lucky to have such professionals in our midst.

Maine utility officials said the ice storm that started last weekend doesn't compare to the infamous ice storm of 1998. But it's plenty bad in Hancock County.
ELLSWORTH, Maine (AP) _ Reinforcements are on the way from Nova Scotia, Canada, to Maine to help with efforts to restore power after last weekend's ice storm.
Bangor Hydro Electric, which was reporting about 6,000 outages late Friday morning, said crews from its sister utilities in Canada were arriving in hopes of restoring power to as many customers as possible before another storm makes its way through the area. A spokeswoman says it could be New Year's Day before the lights are on for everyone in Hancock County.
Central Maine Power, which had 6,400 customers without power Friday morning, said it hoped to restore electricity to all accessible buildings and year-round customers by late Friday evening.
All told, more than 100,000 homes and businesses in Maine were in the dark at some point during the storm. That's far less than the 1998 storm.

Kidney and Urologic Diseases
There are many organizations who provide support for patients and medical professionals. View the full list of Kidney and Urologic Disease Organizations. (PDF, 345 KB)
Calcium is a mineral that builds and strengthens bones. Calcium is found in many foods, particularly milk and other dairy products. If calcium levels in the blood become too low, four small glands in the neck called the parathyroid glands release a hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH). This hormone draws calcium from the bones to raise blood calcium levels. Too much PTH in the blood will remove too much calcium from the bones; over time, the constant removal of calcium weakens the bones.
Phosphorus, an element found in most foods, also helps regulate calcium levels in the bones. Healthy kidneys remove excess phosphorus from the blood. When the kidneys stop working normally, phosphorus levels in the blood can become too high, leading to lower levels of calcium in the blood and resulting in higher PTH levels and the loss of calcium from the bones. Even before blood levels of phosphorus become elevated, the kidneys are forced to work harder to clear phosphorus from the body.
Healthy kidneys produce calcitriol from vitamin D that is received from sunlight and food. Calcitriol helps the body absorb dietary calcium and phosphorus into the blood and bones. Calcitriol and PTH work together to keep calcium balance normal and bones healthy. If calcitriol levels drop too low, PTH levels increase and calcium is removed from the bones. In a person with kidney failure, the kidneys stop making calcitriol. The body then cannot absorb calcium from food, leading to increased PTH levels. The combination of decreased calcium absorption from food and PTH drawing calcium from bones makes the bones weak and brittle.
Controlling PTH levels prevents damage to bones. Usually, overactive parathyroid glands are controllable with a change in diet, dialysis treatment, or medication.
These medications decrease the absorption of phosphorus into the blood.
If the kidneys are not making adequate amounts of calcitriol, a person can take synthetic calcitriol as a pill (Rocaltrol) or in an injectable form (Calijex). Other types of vitamin D that may be prescribed are ergocalciferol (Calciferol, Drisdol), cholecalciferol (Delta D3), doxercalciferol (Hectoral), and paricalcitol (Zemplar). A doctor may prescribe a calcium supplement in addition to calcitriol. The drug cinacalcet hydrochloride (Sensipar), approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2004, lowers PTH levels by imitating calcium's effects on the parathyroid gland. If PTH levels cannot be controlled, the parathyroid glands may need to be removed surgically.
A good treatment program, including proper attention to diet, dialysis, and medications, can improve the body's ability to repair bones damaged by CKD-MBD. Overall bone health can also be improved by exercising and not smoking. People on dialysis should consult a health care professional before beginning any exercise program.

|Warm, creamy, broccoli cheese and potato soup.
It's a blizzard out there, the East Coast got slammed with snow and winds and even thunder and lightning in some places. Almost everything shut down here in New York and the tri-state area today.
Being snowed in, I was craving something warm, hearty and satisfying and this soup hit the spot. I don't think my photo captured how good this was. My whole family devoured it, even my one year old. Luckily, I had all the ingredients on hand so I didn't have to plow my car out to head to the store. The ultimate comfort food in a bowl.
Broccoli Cheese and Potato Soup

- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 1/2 cups fat free chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 cup fat free milk
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced small
- salt and fresh pepper
- 4 cups (about 2 heads) broccoli florets, chopped into small pieces
- 1-1/2 cups 2% shredded sharp cheddar
- 2 slices 2% American cheese
- 1 tbsp parmesan cheese
Chop onion, carrot, celery, garlic in a chopper or mini food processor.
In a large soup pot, melt butter. Add chopped vegetables and sauté on low heat until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add flour, salt and pepper to the pot and stir until smooth.
Add chicken broth, milk and potatoes and set heat to high until it comes to a boil, then cover and cook on low until potatoes are soft, about 10-15 minutes.
Add broccoli florets, parmesan cheese, and stir well. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Cook uncovered until broccoli is cooked, about 5 minutes. Add cheddar and American cheese, stir well and remove from heat.
Using an immersion blender, quickly blend part of the soup for a quick second or two. If you don't have an immersion blender, remove about 1-2 cups of potatoes and broccoli, place it in your chopper, then add it back to the soup. This helps thicken it a bit.

Local 6 Investigative Reporter Tony Pipitone looks at some of the key legal issues being debated as prosecutors and defense lawyers prepare for the trial of George Zimmerman.
Six weeks to go before jury selection, and a flurry of back-and-forth motions reveals just how testy things are getting between the lawyers in the George Zimmerman murder trial.
The tit-for-tat began on March 13, when the lawyers traveled to Miami to depose Witness 8, the 18-year-old woman (now 19) who Trayvon Martin was talking to in the moments before Zimmerman killed him on February 26, 2012.
The defense informed the state in writing that it intended to videotape her deposition, as well as those of Martin's family members over the following two days.
But prosecutors did not notice the clear defense disclosure, despite the defense even naming the video production company it hired to be on site to make the videotapes. (When you read thousands of pages of court documents, it's easy to skim over minor variations in what appears to be boilerplate language – and, the state notes, the defense never verbally mentioned their videotape plans to them.)
So lead prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda was surprised to see a camera and microphones in the deposition room on the morning of March 13 and refused to allow the deposition to go forward on tape. He later wrote in a motion "the only reason" the defense wanted to videotape the Miami witnesses "was to intimidate and harass" them.
Lead defense attorney Mark O'Mara tried to contact Judge Debra Nelson in Sanford to resolve the dispute, but it took more than five hours to get her on the phone to hear arguments. She then sided with the defense, allowing the videotaping, but ordering the tape be sealed. (O'Mara later asked the judge to order the state to pay $4,555 in fees and costs incurred because of de la Rionda's refusal to allow the deposition to proceed on tape and on schedule.)
Things went downhill from there.
On March 25, the defense filed a motion for sanctions against the state attorney's office for supposed discovery violations.
The crux of their argument: the state concealed facts about Witness 8's veracity, causing "additional time, frustration and effort" to ascertain the truth. Therefore, the defense wants the state to pay for the time it wasted and be fined for a "willful and flagrant violation of discovery."
To prosecutors – who are legally and ethically required to give the defense any evidence it has that might tend to prove the innocence of the defendant -- them's fighting words.
Before we get into how the state punched back –with a dash of Shakespeare, a sprinkling of Latin and a load of contempt –consider what the defense believes was withheld and whether it is "exculpatory," that is, tends to prove Zimmerman's innocence.
Here are the allegations:
- The state knew Witness 8 was not a juvenile, as the Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump had claimed, but the state concealed that from the defense by redacting her birth date from the interview de la Rionda did with her in April 2012.
- The state concealed from the defense that Witness 8 admitted in August 2012 she had not been hospitalized from high blood pressure in the days after Martin's killing. She had previously told Crump she missed Martin's wake or funeral because she was so distraught over his death, she had to be hospitalized. She repeated that claim under oath to de la Rionda in April 2012. (To be precise – and we do try to be precise in journalism -- under oath she was asked by de la Rionda whether she was in "the hospital or somewhere," and she answered "yes.")
- In her deposition, the defense claims, Witness 8 admitted she "lied" to both Crump and de la Rionda because, on both occasions, Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon Martin's mother, was sitting next to her and she "felt the need to deceive as to the reason for not going to (Trayvon's) wake or funeral," the defense claimed in its motion for sanctions. (As an aside, the defense questions why the state would have the victim's mother sitting beside the key witness during a sworn statement, arguing it "places the legitimacy and veracity of the entire statement at issue.")
- It wasn't until March 4, just hours before a hearing where the defense was going to demand the purported hospital records, that the state finally told the defense there were no hospital records because there was no hospital stay.
Well, it took the state only three days to respond to that, in a blistering March 28 pleading that cites the defense motion's "calumny" (the act of uttering false charges or misrepresentations maliciously calculated to harm another's reputation) and defense attorneys' "craven" conduct (lacking the least bit of courage; contemptibly fainthearted).
De la Rionda followed the name calling with a touch of condescension, arguing it was not the state's job to "keep (O'Mara) from publicly humiliating himself and his client." O'Mara, he wrote, wants to be reimbursed "for time he spent following bad legal strategy and advice from anonymous internet trolls."
The state said it is "hardly the responsibility of this office to censor" Crump and other civilians.
And, he noted, whether Witness 8 went to the hospital or not is "not exculpatory.... In short, this allegation is rife with sensationalism, yet bereft of substance."
At best, the state suggests, Witness 8's conflicting statements may be "impeachment evidence," meaning the defense could try to use them to attack her credibility when she testifies, if the judge allows it. But it does not help show Zimmerman is innocent.
Then de la Rionda throws in a little dig in Latin, sending us once again to the Internet dictionaries. After accusing the defense of "grandstanding" by "repeating as many times as possible" that Witness 8 lied, he writes: "Parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus," literally, "Mountains will be in labor, and an absurd mouse will be born." It basically means "all that work and nothing to show for it."
In other words, the defense motion for sanctions is "an absurd mouse."
For good measure, de la Rionda quotes Shakespeare's Macbeth, saying the motion for sanctions is "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Well, it took O'Mara nearly a month, but he finally replied to de la Rionda today (April 26).
O'Mara decided "not to respond to the scurrilous and unfounded personal attacks" by the state, but raised the specter that de la Rionda could be sanctioned or disciplined because, O'Mara claims, his pleading was designed to "disparage, humiliate, offend, disappoint and anger."
So he asks Judge Nelson to strike the states' pleading and order "whatever additional sanctions it deems appropriate."
All the bickering should come to a quick end Tuesday, when all the lawyers (and, perhaps, Zimmerman) will be in court for a slew of motions.
Judge Nelson has shown little patience with lawyers when they digress from the task at hand – litigating a second-degree murder case that could put Zimmerman in prison for life.

POTSDAM More than 800 Apple tablet users have downloaded a new app for a physics-based game called Puzzletopple.
Trevor S. Dugan, a SUNY Potsdam graduate student from Madrid, spent the past year creating the game app that was just published in September on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
The addictive 50-level puzzle game is similar to Snood, Tetris and Candy Crush with small colored boxes that collapse when selected.
The difference is, the game uses real physics.
Instead of blocks snapping into locations, they actually fall in a gravity and physics-based way, said Anthony K. Betrus, a professor in the business administration department at SUNY Potsdam. It requires a lot of math and takes a lot of computation power. Essentially, the devices havent been ready for this type of game up until now.
Mr. Dugans game idea started as a concept he wanted to use in a final project in a multi-media authoring and scripting graduate course taught by Mr. Betrus.
When I saw it I said it was something he should pursue, so I gave him a little nudge, he said.
Its the first time a SUNY Potsdam student has created and published a successful app, according to the SUNY Potsdam Graduate Office.
Mr. Dugan said that for every 99-cent download, he gets 69 cents.
On the day that Apple was reviewing it, they called me and the woman on the phone said she had been playing it the last two hours and got very behind on her work, he said.
The initial game took Mr. Dugan a semester to design, but with all the testing and changes that needed to be done, the app took about a year to launch.
Apples very picky, even down to your icon sizes, which have to be exact dimensions, Mr. Dugan said. It has to look like it belongs in their store. I went through several different icons.
Mr. Betrus said that after the concept stages, Mr. Dugan spent three months working on a prototype for the game which he used for the class. He then continued on the Alpha phase of his project for three months, when he added the final bells and whistles to his app. After the four-month Beta or debugging phase of his project, he was ready to bring his app to market, which was a two month process.
To keep track of how popular his game is, Mr. Dugan said he uses the iTunes Connect Mobile app that allows developers to see daily reviews.
At the end of the 50 levels hes developed for the game theres a trophy that no one has seen yet.
Mr. Dugan said hes currently working on the phone version of the app and a desktop version of the game.
Mr. Dugan, an educational technology specialist major whos in his last year of school, said hed like to continue in the field of computer graphics after graduation.
A launch party for Puzzletopple is being held on the third floor of Dunn Hall at SUNY Potsdam from 11:30 to 1:30 today.
