The Royal Spyness series continues with an all-new mystery of "the British monarchy...a wedding in Transylvania...[and] wonderful characters." (#1 New York Times best-selling author Charlaine Harris).
Penniless and 34th in line to the throne, Lady Georgiana Rannoch finds herself in a truly draining state of affairs. To escape her hateful brother, Georgie accepts an invitation from the Queen to represent the royals at a wedding in Transylvania. But at the macabre- looking castle, Georgie finds the bride with blood running down her chin, and a wedding guest is poisoned. Now it's up to Georgie to save the nuptial festivities before the couple's vows become: to love and to cherish, till undeath do them part.

Baltimore book lover
"A little predictable"
I love this series and this book is very good but I took one star off because there is some very cliche vampire stuff. Not a huge part of the book but enough to be just a little distracting. In general though, I love Lady Georgie. There is just enough scene setting to establish a very charming version of Europe in the late 30's and each character is distinct and interesting. The mysteries aren't all that challenging or complicated but I don't mind.
"Rhys Bowen hits another one out of the park!"
If you enjoy a historically based novel, have a background knowledge of the English royal family, enjoy a strong female character, like mysteries, & enjoy twisted humour - then you will love this series. There is a bit of romance, but it doesn't overshadow the storyline. The reader does a great job depicting the cast of characters. Would love to hear more by this author.
"Always good fun"
This is one of the series I thoroughly enjoy and is a new staple for me. Always delivers humorous fun. Very good reader, stories are fluffy but you know that before you buy the book. Entertainment value is solid.
"Performance is key!"
Once more, Katherine Kellgren has done a great job narrating the Royal Spyness series. I love how she's able to provide all the characters with a distinctive voice and her ability to do accents is amazing. I am not too keen about the whole 'vampire' storyline but, overall, it was fun to listen to.
"Bloody good!"
I love the Royal Spyness series! The story is entertaining and extremely well written. The narrator is TOP NOTCH! This series is fun and light.
"Very enjoyable"
This was lots of fun as well as a good puzzle. I am just disappointed that there seem to be only four Royal Blood stories. Since I use audio books as a sleep aid, this book and the rest in the series are perfect for my purposes. They are not so grizzly as to keep me awake, but still keep my interest so that I can hardly wait to get back to listening.
"Love this series!"
I love this series. Katherine Kellgren is my favorite narrator, and the Royal Spyness mysteries are just fun. Can't wait for the next one.
"Light but entertaining"
It is a very light mystery story but I found it entertaining. I will look for other books narrated by Katherine Kellgren, I enjoyed her performance.
"Royal Blood is Bloody Good"
I was surprised at who-dun-it...
Katherine is a wonderful reader...Coco
All these books are great pot boilers
"A British Janet Evanovich"
The strength of these books are the humourous characters. Much in the line of Janet Evanovich the actually mystery is second to the funny carryings on of Georgie and her various relatives and "staff". If you were to read a synopsis of this particular book without knowing the others you would think it ridiculous, but Rhys Bowen is very good at making the ridiculous fully believable, and utterly entertaining!

Schools in Woonsocket and Pawtucket are closed for the second straight day. In the scheme of high school athletics, one of these cities plans on playing through the elements while the other adheres to a policy that if school is canceled, so too are all after-school activities.
Woonsocket athletic director George Nasuti confirmed that Savaria Gymnasium will be open for business Tuesday night when the Woonsocket girls' basketball team hosts Ponaganset. The Villa Novans are also sending their boys track delegation to the Providence Career & Technical Academy field house for Tuesday's 4 p.m. Class Meet.
"The only reason why we're not in school is because of the local roads, not facilities," said Nasuti. "(Girls' basketball and indoor track) are the only two events we have anyway, so we're going to run them."
Down in Pawtucket, the policy from the superintendent's office is that no extracurricular activities – high-school sports is classified as such – can take place when school is called off. That means the gyms at Tolman and Shea will remain dark and quiet, with a flurry of make-up games scheduled for later in the week.
Come Wednesday night, the Tolman and Shea boys' basketball teams will kick off a three-games-in-three-days stretch with a contest against one another at Donaldson Gymnasium. The game has been designated as the Donaldson Scholarship Foundation Game and Tolman's "Senior Day."
Shea and Tolman will remain at home Thursday. The Raiders welcome West Warwick in a game that was originally scheduled for last Friday and could go a long way in deciding the Division II-Central title; Shea is 10-5 while West Warwick sits at 11-4. Tolman enters the busy stretch at 7-8 in league play, which at the moment is good enough to gain admittance to the 10-team Division II tournament.
The Tigers host 9-6 Exeter/West Greenwich on Thursday and West Warwick Friday. The Raiders will get a crack at the Scarlet Knights when they hit the road Friday.
Other Pawtucket-based athletic events that were originally on the docket Tuesday include two girls' basketball games – Tolman at Mount Hope, Bishop Keough at Shea – and one wrestling match – Tolman at Ponaganset.
"There's not much anybody can do," stated Tolman athletic director John Scanlon. "(The decision makers) have no control over the weather, so we'll see what happens."
The canceling of school in Central Falls has resulted in the postponement of Tuesday's girls' basketball contest with East Providence. With Davies Tech closed Tuesday, the girls' basketball team will now take on North Smithfield Wednesday.
At St. Raphael, the hope is that the boys' basketball game at Mount Pleasant and the girls' basketball game at Pilgrim can still go off without a hitch despite Tuesday's classes getting canceled.
Monday saw the R.I. Interscholastic League push back the conclusion of the regular season in boys' hoops to Sunday. Right now there are three games on the schedule for Saturday, though it wouldn't come as a shock to learn of more teams going the weekend route.
"We're encouraging the schools to get the season completed as fast as possible, but this [extension] will give them some flexibility," said Mike Lunney, RIIL assistant director.
Sunday's scheduled conclusion marks the third time that the boys' regular season has been pushed back. Originally, this Wednesday was supposed to mark the end before postponements prior to last weekend's mega snowstorm resulted in teams receiving an extension until Friday.
What does this mean for the divisional playoffs? The preliminary round is now Monday, Feb. 18 with the quarterfinals on tap for Wednesday, Feb. 20. The semifinals are still set for Friday, Feb. 22 with the finals to take place Sunday, Feb. 24.
In swimming, the Division II Class Meet for boys and girls will be held Tuesday at Roger Williams University. On Wednesday, Roger Williams will play host to the Division III Class Meet.
In terms of rescheduling the hockey games that were lost over the weekend, Lunney says that the league is working on the matter.
Two "Pink Out" events are on tap this week. The first will take place Wednesday at 7 p.m. when Central Falls hosts Lincoln in boys' basketball. Donations will be accepted at the door and t-shirts will be sold for $20. There will also be prizes with all the proceeds raised going to Coaches vs. Cancer.
On Friday, the North Smithfield boys' basketball team will stage its second annual cancer awareness benefit as the Northmen take on Davies Tech. All the money donated at the door will go to the American Cancer Society (last year's "Pink Out" event raised almost $2,000). In addition to coming out and supporting a worthy cause, Northmen head coach T.J. Ciolfi will be decked out in an all-pink suit.

According to the recent fillings of the FCC, another Garminfone/nuvifone is being released by Garmin-Asus. These recent filings show that there is a requirement for 850 / 1900 MHz which suggests that AT&T might be used as its carrier. While the Garminfone was launched by T-Mobile recently, it is quite difficult to see what exactly the marketing strategy of Garmin-Asus is, as the rights to the nuvifone might be exclusively given to AT&T or Garmin-Asus might have permanently switched over to Garminfone. Nothing will be certain till the E600 launches out.
Irrespective of what the probable marketing situation might be, chances are that Garmin-Asus will once again make use of Android, more so since the effective uninspiring launch of the G60 on AT&T. The G60 made use of simple Linux; however, the Android is stated to be released on all Garmin-Asus navigation centric mobile phones. As there is still no public announcement made by Garmin-Asus regarding the features of the new phone, one will have to wait and watch to see whether the E600 will be an improvement over T-Mobile's handset.
As a means of gaining as much support as possible in North America, Garmin-Asus introduced the nuvifone G60 on AT&T. However, since sales of the G60 were not as per as estimated, Garmin-Asus quickly rolled out the Garminfone on T-Mobile. Although not certain, we speculated that the nuvifone brand name is being exclusively owned by AT&T, why else would Garmin-Asus not use this branding anywhere else in the market. In fact, all phones manufactured by ASUS go through the very same joint venture of Garmin-Asus. Hence, it was no surprise to find that with the release of the FCC filings, a new nuvifone was on the horizon. The new E600, PDA Phone, is set to be launched in the 850 / 1900 MHz spectrum which leads us to believe that AT&T will be the most obvious carrier. If not AT&T, another carrier from the north would be the best bet.

AirInstinct™ 200 Odor Absorber 1 1
New Filters are Not as Good as Old I purchased two AirInstinct 75s two and a half years ago. I've been very happy with the overall performance of these air cleaners so I purchased replacement hepa and charcoal filters. First of all, these are no longer "carbon" filters as described when you click on the product details for this air cleaner. I called my local Oreck store and was told they are no longer carbon, they are odor absorbers. They are cut to dimensions that no longer completely cover the back of the screen from top to bottom or side to side so you have to strategically place behind the screen and hope it doesn't move when you click it in, otherwise you'll have a gap. These new filters are two pieces of synthetic material glued together. This was easy to determine after vacuuming them for the first time and they started peeling apart! I vacuumed them for the second time today and they are bubbling up from the suction of the vacuum as they separate (vacuuming with my Oreck handheld which I used on the old filters). This type of material does not allow you to vacuum out pet hair. I was sitting there picking small clumps out. When vacuumed, they are still clearly dirty. Cheaply made… very disappointing.

YIELD: Makes about 48 cookies
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 225 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 2 1/2 cups (230 g) whole (dark) rye flour
- 3 tablespoons coarse sparkling sugar or turbinado sugar
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, a pinch of salt, and the orange zest. Gradually mix in the flour. Divide the dough into two portions and place each on a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape into logs about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter and wrap tightly. To shape the soft dough log into a more perfect cylinder, use a paper-towel tube: Cut the tube open vertically along one side and nest the wrapped log inside, then tape or rubber-band the tube closed. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a sheet of waxed paper, combine 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the sparkling sugar. Unwrap the dough logs and roll them in the mixture to coat well. Place each log on a cutting board and cut into 1/8-inch-thick (3-mm-thick) rounds, arranging the rounds 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned at the edges, about 16 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through so the cookies bake evenly. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. The cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Variation * For black walnut teff cookies: Instead of the rye flour, use 1 2/3 cups (225 g) teff flour and 1 cup (115 g) whole spelt flour. Omit the orange zest and add 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped black walnuts to the dough. Roll the dough logs in maple sugar, if you like.

John Kitzhaber's authority to prevent the execution of Gary Haugen during a hearing before the Oregon Supreme Court in Eugene, Ore. on Thursday, March 14, 2013.

Where am I?
St. Louis
St. Louis is quirky and stylish, cultured and progressive with a student-friendly atmosphere highlighted by its famous Midwestern charm and old-world elegance. Home to more than 2.9 million people, St. Louis is an urban metropolis with vibrant neighborhoods, free events and attractions yet maintains a small-town sensibility and accessibility.
St. Louis Destination VideoBeyond the borders of campus students intermingle with locals in many of St. Louis' unique districts from the eclectic vibe of the Delmar Loop to the café-lined sidewalks of the Central West End to the energy of Downtown St. Louis – each within easy reach of Fontbonne by bus, light rail or automobile. It's said that no other city in the U.S. has more free attractions, events and festivals than St. Louis – so get your agenda book ready, you'll be busy here.
Central Location
We are located truly in the heart of the St. Louis metropolitan area, and that's good news for you. Our campus is located just minutes from Forest Park, site of the 1904 World's Fair, which outdoes New York's Central Park in size. Frequented by runners, rollerbladers and picnickers, the park also hosts some of the region's favorite cultural and educational institutions: the St. Louis Art Museum, St. Louis Science Center and the Missouri History Museum. All are free to the public. Even the Municipal Opera, a 12,000-seat outdoor ampitheater, offers free seats for its summer theatre. Map.
Professional Sports
Three professional sports teams - Cardinals baseball, Rams football and Blues hockey - play in downtown St. Louis venues. And Laclede's Landing, a revitalized riverfront district, features shops, restaurants, and of course, the Gateway Arch.

NOTE: See now the July 2012 guidance - "The Digital Economy Act 2010 Impact on educational institutions and public libraries" on the CILIP website.
The Digital Economy Act 2010 was given royal assent late on Thursday, 8 April 2010, following the final reading of the Digital Economy Bill in the House of Commons, the previous night. The Bill was rushed through the parliamentary process in a period known as the 'wash up' in preparation for the election. One of the most debated clauses, clause 18, relating to digital copyright infringement, has been redrafted. The latest version sees file-sharers accused of infringing copyright having their internet connections suspended, through 'blocking injunctions' without the opportunity to be heard before a court. This could have serious consequences for internet providers including universities, colleges and libraries. In another amendment, clause 43 of the Bill (formerly 42) relating to 'orphaned works', where the copyright owner cannot be legitimately traced, has been dropped completely. The Act will also give policing powers to Ofcom, although it has suggested there are concerns over how to implement these.
However, the Digital Economy Act's anti-piracy measures are to be delayed the Department of Culture, Media and Sport has confirmed. Measures such as potential disconnection will not be enforced until at least 2014, at a conference in November 2011 Ofcom stated spring 2013. Action has stalled due to legal challenges. More details on this story are available from the BBC website.

MASSENA - As they stood in the hallway outside the J.W. Leary Junior High School gymnasium Thursday morning, little did the incoming seventh-grader students know what awaited them behind the door as part of their orientation.
Yellow-shirted WEB leaders from the eighth grade were standing in two lines with enough room for the seventh graders to pass through, ready to applaud them and give them high 5fives as they headed to their stations to retrieve their name tags.
WEB stands for Where Everyone Belongs. Its a middle school orientation and transition program that welcomes students to their new school and makes them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their middle school experience.
The program, like Massena High Schools Link Crew program, is part of the larger Boomerang Project, designed to transition students to new schools.
This is the first year the program has been offered at the junior high.
In preparation for Thursdays orientation, WEB leaders - all volunteers - had gone through two five-hour training sessions on Monday and Tuesday. Theyll act as peer mentors to the younger students during the 2013-14 school year.
Teachers had recommended some of the students, and it was also opened up to other students in the school who had to apply to become a WEB leader. Approximately 35 were on hand Thursday to greet the incoming students.
We met with these kids last spring. We spent about two or three hours with them, giving the students an idea of what they could expect, Principal Jesse C. Coburn said.
It was something that piqued the interest of eighth-grader Alexa Drumm.
I just know everyone is going to need leadership skills throughout life. This is a nice place to start, Ms. Drumm said as she waited for the seventh graders to enter the gym.
Her job was to direct them from the name tag stations to the bleachers for a morning of team-building and getting-to-know-you exercises, followed by a lunchtime barbecue.
Mr. Coburn said its the first year they have offered the WEB program after the success of the Link Crew program during its 2012-13 inaugural year at the high school. The WEB program directors at the junior high are Keri Cooke-Fent and Christine Sweet, and they were on hand Thursday along with other staff members who had volunteered their time.
It was a great success last year. The whole idea is to get back what you give, Mr. Coburn said.
Thursdays middle school orientation was just step one in the program. There will also be academic and social follow-ups during the year, along with leader-initiated contacts when the WEB leaders will connect with the new students on a more individual basis.
Itll go through the year. Well have a couple of organized events, Mr. Coburn said.
While all the students had an opportunity to meet each other on Thursday, he said they would be organizing teams that would match WEB leaders with the approximately 213 incoming seventh graders. Mr. Coburn said theyve already reviewed the sixth-grade roster to find out about the students and will link them up to the mentor that would best meet their needs.
Ms. Drumm said shell have some words of wisdom for the students shell be mentoring to make their junior high experience easier.
Like pre-setting your locker and bringing more than one book to your class, she said.
Ms. Cooke-Fent told the former sixth graders that even though they were in a new building among many new faces there was nothing to be nervous about.
Were you nervous as a sixth grader at your old school? You werent nervous because you had been there a long time. You knew in order to be successful and get to the next grade, you had to do your homework. If you didnt know something, you knew who to ask. There is so much you already know that you carry into seventh grade, she said.
Maybe you dont know a soul (in junior high). By the end of the day you will. Maybe you dont know your schedule. By the end of the day you will, Ms. Cooke-Fent said. This is going to be an awesome year because youre going to use stuff you already know.
She pointed out students could be successful with the help of the yellow-shirted mentors who sat in the bleachers with them.
These are eighth graders in the building. They have literally given up three days of their summer (for training and orientation). They want you to feel welcome, they want you to be successful, they want you to feel safe, she said. I want the seventh-graders to know they are awesome and theyre here to help you.
Thursdays activities included a welcome assembly with several activities in the gymnasium, followed by WEB leaders and their teams moving to assigned classrooms for activity work and tours. The students later returned to the gym for a closing assembly, then received their schedules and enjoyed a barbecue.

The REALiS WUX450 D delivers stunning image quality in an installation grade projector. The projector features a next generation Canon AISYS 5.0 optical engine for enhanced contrast and brightness through improved light management, working to maximize the imaging performance of the projector's advanced Canon LCOS display panels.
Canon's status as a producer of the highest quality lenses brings the experience of lens design excellence to the REALiS WUX450 D's fixed F-stop lens. The projector's sophisticated lens maintains f2.8 throughout its focal length, virtually eliminating any brightness fall off throughout the entire zoom range.
You will find a host of image processing features built into the REALiS WUX450 D to help maximize system performance and image display quality. The 4-point keystone adjustment provides more precise keystoning and a wider range of choices for diagonal projection, while reducing visually disturbing 'moiré' in the image. The projector's integrated micro digital lens shift allows for pixel precise adjustment of image position in addition to the physical lens shift. The included edge blending brings multi-projector imaging with an easy to use processor equipped with precision luminance ramp adjustment and pixel overlap control. Low TV distortion (0.1%) lenses mean clean, uniform edge blends both horizontally and vertically. True image calibration capability means maximum image quality directly in normally accessible menus.
The REALiS WUX450 D projector is not cleared or approved for medical diagnosis and should not be used for these purposes.

CANTON St. Lawrence County is preparing for a broad discussion on how to lower Solid Waste Department tipping fees or at least stabilize them before municipalities take on more trash responsibilities, rendering the county operation uncompetitive.
It looks like were at a point where that has to be addressed, Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said.
Earlier this year, the village of Massena approved a refuse rate hike of $1.50, increasing its monthly charge to $22.75 per month. The increase will help build up capital so the village can create its own system for taking waste to the regional landfill operated by the Development Authority of the North Country in the town of Rodman rather than use the countys transfer site in Massena.
Savings could amount to $100,000 annually, Massena Department of Public Works Superintendent Hassan A. Fayad said.
Economically, that would be the best thing for the village of Massena to do. Under no circumstance is it what we want to do, he said. My preference is to have the protocol be the same.
The villages waste accounts for 16 percent of the trash that
flows through the county transfer sites that is hauled to Rodman.
If Massena opened up its prospective transfer site to others who now use the countys disposal operation, the percentage lost could rise to about 50 percent of the countys total.
They would be able to beat our price by $30 to $40 per ton, said Scott A. Thornhill, county recycling coordinator.
The village of Potsdam also provides trash pickup through a contract with Casella Waste Services. Heuvelton provides municipal service and the village of Morristown is considering it.
The countys tipping fee for non-commercial haulers is $160 per ton.
Hauling rates start at $131 per ton. The village of Massena pays $122 per ton as a large user. The tipping fee at Rodman is $44 per ton.
The trend has been for tipping rates to climb about $5 per ton annually.
If we keep raising our tip fees, were going to keep losing people, said Legislator Joseph R. Lightfoot, chairman of the countys Solid Waste Committee.
Solid Waste is run as an enterprise fund, meaning that users not taxpayers pay most of its costs. Part of the reason fees keep rising is because of other post-employment benefits, an accounting category meant to cover such things as long-term health care costs.
Its a mechanism under which money is collected upfront for future liabilities, but it would really only come into play if there was a dissolution of the department.
The amount set by the state is based on a percentage of employees in the countys total workforce, even though only a dozen or so are part of the enterprise fund. The benefit category has driven costs upwards by about $25,000 annually since a government agency recommended its inclusion in 2009.
Eliminating OPEB costs could allow for an immediate drop in tipping fees of at least $10 per ton but it would mean the enterprise fund would run a perennial deficit. If the county decided to sell Solid Wastes assets as it has considered in the past a prospective buyer might look askance at the books.
Its going to look bad, Treasurer Kevin M. Felt said. Its on paper but youre in the red.
It also is not clear what the states position would be on the negative accounting tactic, Ms. St. Hilaire said.
The county could turn Solid Waste from an enterprise fund to a county department, but that would likely raise county costs.
Another continual cost to Solid Waste is the maintenance of landfills closed in Canton, Massena, and Ogdensburg. They were costs the county took over when the Solid Waste Disposal Authority was abolished in the 1990s.
That expense could be siphoned off to the county rather than paid through the enterprise fund but that could raise the tax levy by 1 percent at a time when the county has pledged to reduce property taxes in the first year of a five-year plan and keep future increases to no more than 2 percent.
No ones going to be too eager to increase the levy, Ms. St. Hilaire said. Something else would have to go.
The financial dilemma also comes at a time when the transfer stations need upgrading.
One of the other things that has to be considered is equipment, Mr. Lightfoot said.

Mets sign Taylor Buchholz and Chris Capuano
According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, Taylor Buchholz will earn a $600,000 base salary, and Chris Capuano will earn a $1.5 million base salary with the opportunity to earn more with incentives.
Rubin also says the signing of both Capuano and Buchholz does not take them out of the running for a starting pitcher, such as Jeff Francis or Chris Young.
He also provides some insight in to the fate of Igarashi.
Original Post, 6:57 pm:
The Mets have signed free-agent LHP Chris Capuano and RHP Taylor Buchholz to one-year contracts.
The team has designated RHP Ryota Igarashi for assignment, to make room on the 40-man roster. I was under the impression the Mets were factoring Igarashi in to their plans, so I assume they believe he will go unclaimed on waivers and likely end up back in camp.
Capuano, 32, went 4-4 with a 3.95 ERA in 24 appearances last year with the Brewers, including nine starts. He missed the entire 2009 season recovering from his second Tommy John surgery.
I have no idea how much they're paying Capuano, but I doubt it's much. In either case, I like this signing. It's a solid gamble, to say the least. In the last week, since contracts broke down between Capuano and the Brewers, I've had several fans e-mail suggesting the Mets bring him in. He's very effective against left-handed batters, so, who knows, maybe he can solve the left-specialist 'situation.'
Buchholz started 2010 on a rehab assignment, and made his return to the big leagues on July 24 following Tommy John surgery. He was eventually put on waivers and claimed by the Blue Jays in early September, and ended the year throwing just 12 innings, during which he allowed five runs.
He was rated as one of the game's top 100 prospects by Baseball America in 2003. In 2008, he had a 2.17 ERA in 63 relief appearances for the Rockies, during which opponents hit just .188 against him. It looked like he was on the verge of becoming one of the game's elite relievers. He will be nearly two years removed from his surgery, come Spring Training, If he can get back to where he was before, it'll be a huge payoff, to say the least.
Basically, I see these as low-risk, very high-reward bullpen signings, with Capuano also holding the potential to be a back-end starting pitcher.

Residents of Helper, Spring Glen, Carbonville, Kenilworth, Scofield and Clear Creek now receiving mail delivery from routes out of the Helper post office should be aware of plans by the Salt Lake District of the Postal Service to transfer the routes out of Helper and originate in the Price post office. They plan on doing this under a program known as the Delivery Unit Optimization , (DUO).
What effect will this have on the carriers of the Helper routes and the future of the Helper post office itself?
There presently are two city delivery routes in Helper, two rural routes and a contract route serving Kenilworth, Scofield and Clear Creek. By transferring these routes to Price an addition eight to 10 miles is added to each route before they make a single delivery. This means a disruption of delivery time to residents of these areas as they are now accustomed to. Delivery problems, vacation holds, what ever, will have to be referred to the Price postmaster, at times necessitating a trip to Price. Helper carriers will have their seniority integrated with Price carriers, those residing in Helper will be faced with a daily commute of 16 or more miles to get to work and back home.
May I cite an economic loss to business interests in Helper. Currently three post office delivery trucks are operating out of the Helper office plus two private vehicles. Fuel for these vehicles is purchased from Helper dealers as well as repair and upkeep service. All of this will be lost to Price dealers. In this day and age of emphasizing fuel conservation, this plan does not make sense. Also, what incentive will there be for carriers to reside in Helper if their work place is in Price
Implementing this plan means Helper will lose its postmaster. Our present postmaster has performed admirably. With the present work load of five routes he qualifies for a Level 18 position in postal ranking of postmasters. Taking the routes out of Helper will down grade the post office to a Level 11 or 13. The present postmaster will retain saved grace level for a two year period during which time he must accept a transfer to any vacancy occurring elsewhere at his grade level. Will Helper ever get another postmaster? Unlikely. Meanwhile adding the routes to the Price post office enhances the salary level of that postmaster because of added responsibility. I ask, where are the overall savings plus the disruption of service to residents of the North Carbon area.
Finally, what is the fate of the present post office building and the extensive grounds? The facility has been a show place on Main Street in Helper, a historic building housing a depression era mural and on the federal historical register. Will the Postal Service continue to maintain the building and grounds considering the limited activity projected there? If recent neglect is any indication, this is a question. The building has not had a paint job in almost 30 years, the hedge surrounding the property has been allowed to grow wild and in some cases, die away.
When I was postmaster we had a full time janitor. When Tillie Martinez retired several years ago the janitorial work was contracted out to a job cleaner. The current job cleaner does the best he can under the limited hours and remuneration he is
allowed. As a consequence the postmaster can be seen out cutting the lawn. Mrs. Martinez was cited several times for yard beautification awards by tthe Salkt Lake Tribune and the building was the pride and joy for her and the community of Helper.
Just what can Helper and North Carbon area residents do to protest this plan? Two things immediatelly. You can register a protest to the Salt Lake District Director of the Postal Service; Ken McArthur, Director Salt Lake District, U.S. Postal SErvice, 1760 West 2100 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84199. Secondly, register a complaint with U.S. Congressman Jim Matheson who represents this area. This can be done conveniently throug his local office representative, Pam Juliano, who maintains an office in the basement of the Carbon County Courthouse. Her telephone number is 435 636-3722. The fax number is 435 613-1834.
The postal service is obligated to send a letter to everyone on the Helper delivery routes explaing and announcing the change. May I suggest taht you do not agree to the change and make a notation on the letter that states "I do not approve of this" and return it to sender.

I was at the game today and wow did he look horrible at the plate. Rich Hill threw him 92mph fastballs and blew them right by him. This guy needs to get sent down and they need to bring Paulino back up. All the talk about Paulino not being the best defensive catcher but the team was winning in his few games behind the plate (they aren't with Exposito) and Paulino is 100x the hitter Exposito is.
Flaherty also looked horrendous at the plate. There is no way he should still be on the team when Roberts, Reynolds, Reimold, and Chavez return. If they were playing to find out who can play and be a part of the future then I would be fine with him on the team but if they are really going to play to win there is no room for him. Try and make a deal with the Cubs but if an agreement can't be reached just offer him back. He could barely throw from the OF grass at 2B to 1B.

So this month EA Sports added in the means to edit players' physical traits, and all was well. Or so we thought. Turns out abusive editing of the grande-size positions on the field—these would be linemen and fullbacks, you know, positions that block—had turned into a problem. [Update:] It also could have been a glitch, other users reported skinny line personnel occurring if any change was made to them.
Super-skinny line personnel, even if their attributes are unchanged, conceivably affect in-game competition because the game shifted to real-time physics for its collisions this year, as opposed to animations based on attribute rolls. Granted, that may be a marginal decrease, but they still looked stupid, and everyone was complaining about it.
Well, Madden NFL 13 has now pulled back player editing in online Connected Careers. Gone is the means of editing a real NFL player's butt or belly size (or his arm size, or thigh size, or whatever.) This happened in a patch that rolled out earlier today. You may still edit the cosmetic features of a player you create and control—uniform number, equipment loadout, alma mater, but no physical trait is adjustable.
Now, boys, quit making Haloti Ngata look like Connor Barth and play nice together. Don't make me send your father back there.

Thanks to Roberta Marinuzzi for being a Smith's customer!
However, on Aug. 23 she submitted a letter that was unduly critical of Smith's fuel program when she stated "if you use your points to buy gasoline and use a credit card you will be charged a $1 fee."
To set the record straight, Smith's nor participating Shell stations charge a fee for the redemption of rewards points to save money on fuel.
If a $1 charge appeared on her credit card statement, we would appreciate Ms. Marinuzzi contacting her credit card company rather than to place blame inaccurately on Smith's.
We are grateful to our Los Alamos and White Rock customers, and we look forward to providing continued savings on their fuel needs.

The next best linebacker at OSU is...
Mike Riley was not at OSU football practice on Tuesday. He is out of town attending to his father who has become ill.
Riley's Beavers were one of the youngest teams in college football a year ago, playing 10 true freshmen. One of theose freshmen was linebacker D.J. Welch who got the majority of his rep on special teams.
Entering the spring though, Welch finds himself atop the depth chart at Sam (strong-side) linebacker. His experience in 2011 has helped him get up to speed with the defense.
"Everything seemed like it was going a mile a minute," said Welch. "But toward the end of the season, things started slowing down a little bit. Definitely this year things have slowed down and now I'm picking up things a lot quicker and reacting faster."
That's good for Welch because the job appears to be his lose.
"Now it's on him to be responsible play in and play out because he's going to be that guy at that position," said defensive coordinator Mark Banker. "He's got a tremendous chance at being one of the best linebackers at this school."
Welch played in 10 games last season, accumulating 18 tackles with one sack.

An unusual collection of owls will be on full display today during an appreciation day at the New York State Zoo at Thompson Park.
John T. Wright, the zoos executive director, said there was a wide range of diversity in the owls on display. Among the zoos collection are great horned, barred, great gray, eastern screech, northern saw-whet, barn and snowy owls.
That diversity needs to be appreciated, Mr. Wright said. They all find their niche to survive.
The zoos event will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Joli Reynolds, the zoos education director, said that every hour there will be a craft or a story related to owls, and some of the zoos smaller owls will be on display during the course of the event.
We think owls are really cool, and we want people to know that, Mrs. Reynolds said.
Among the owls most notable contributions to humans are its consumption of small rodents such as mice and rats.
Theyre really great for pest control, Mrs. Reynolds said.
Part of the educational portion of the appreciation event will be passing along tips to help conserve owl populations, such as avoiding using rodent poisons that could harm owls that eat them, and littering on roadways that could lure rodents and owls into the way of speeding traffic.
They dont know to look both ways, Mr. Wright said.
Mrs. Reynolds said one of the zoos owls, Slater, the eastern screech owl, came from a rehabilitation center after it was hit by a car.
The appreciation day comes as the zoo moves forward with its Owl 500 campaign. The zoo is looking to raise money for new holding areas for the owls. The Watertown Daily Times is one of the supporters of the initiative.
Attendees who come in costume will receive a $1 discount on zoo admission for the day.
Mr. Wright said future events will be held to put the spotlight on other animals at the zoo.
Video of the zoos owls can be found at http://wdt.me/owl-awareness.

BOONVILLE The sun was shining and the smell of sawdust was in the air as the 66th annual New York State Woodsmens Field Days kicked off three days of activities Friday morning at the Boonville-Oneida County Fairgrounds.

Quick carves give participants one hour to create a piece, which will be sold immediately afterward. Through the course of the weekend, competitors will work during scheduled windows on a carving for a masterpiece carving competition. The judging will be Sunday morning.
One Lewis County logger, Michael A. Gorczyca, usually attends every year, he explained, to buy things, look at new products and equipment.
For Mr. Gorczyca, the field days are a family fun event; he was in attendance with his son, Tyler M., 14.

My period has been pretty easy going most of my life, though in the past few years (late 20-early 30s) I have had heavier flow, backpain, headaches, irritability, and extreme fatigue. My mom, an RN, has been telling me to take Lydia Pinkham for as long as I've been complaining. She finally just bought me a bottle and made me take it. It made it sooo much better! Every month it seemed like my period got a lil easier when I would take it. Then my mom told me I should take it every day and that when it would come on, it wouldn't give any trouble at all. When I finally listened and started taking it daily, I found that my period lasts shorter and is much easier than before. This is a true lifesaver. Make sure you take it daily!

The score of tonight's game is deceiving, because it seems to indicate that the Rangers put up a good fight throughout the game. In fact, the Rangers were pummeled 5-0 by the unrelenting Lightning until the third period, when the Rangers managed to squeak a few goals past Tampa Bay goalie Mike Smith, accomplishing little more than striking Smith's hopes of a shutout.
In the postgame press conference, Coach Tortorella succinctly and accurately summed up the Rangers' collective effort tonight by calling them all "brain dead." The Blueshirts certainly were not at their best tonight, and Steven Stamkos and co. took full advantage of the listless Rangers. A few specific notes:
· Scary stat of the night: The Lightning scored 4 goals by the time the Rangers mustered their 5th shot on goal. Mike Smith must have been positively bored during the first two periods
· I mentioned in my pregame post that shutting down the Lightning's #4 ranked power play would be essential for coming out with a win. Well, the Lightning scored three power play goals in tonight's game, ensuring that the momentum was moving in one direction only. When the Rangers finally got a power play, the difference between the Rangers' puck movement and that of the Lightning was especially striking. Crisp, quick, tight passing and impeccable positioning earned Tampa Bay three easy PPGs.
· On that note, many of the Lightning goals came from crashing the net. It is precisely a game like this one that makes you realize how much the New York Rangers could use a legitimate crease-clearing defenseman.
· Steven Stamkos drilled right by the Rangers' defense with one goal and two assists, extending his league high count to 21 goals and 38 points. Also noticeable was Stamkos' wingman, Marty St. Louis. Stamkos and St. Louis have really developed strong chemistry on a line together, and they complement each other perfectly. They also backchecked extremely well, putting pressure on the New York Rangers at all times. Ron Duguay labeled St. Louis as one of the best power play point-men in the league, and I'd be hard pressed to disagree with him.
· Tortorella called out Marian Gaborik for his lack of an impact on the outcome of tonight's game. The Rangers' best player did not come skating to the rescue when the Rangers needed him most. Out of his eleven games this season, Gaborik has only scored in two—one of them being a blowout game against the Oilers. Considering this exposes another contrast between the Rangers and the Lightning: Stamkos' skyrocketing goal count and St. Louis' equally high number of assists proves the importance of having a linemate that can get the puck to your superstar. Gaborik has not clicked with any of his linemates yet this season, and the difference between Gaborik's production and Stamkos' production is distinctly noted. In an effort to get Gaborik going, Tortorella channeled Tom Renney with his abundance of line juggling towards the second half of the game, but this attempt accomplished nothing.
· This was definitely not the way Henrik Lundqvist wanted to start his comeback. The Rangers' goaltender got virtually no support from his teammates during this game, but the team was quick to jump to his defense after the game. Even so, a five-goal beating is bound to take its toll on someone as fiercely competitive as Lundqvist. Lundqvist was also whistled for diving in the middle of the second period, and, feeling very much wronged, he definitely lost his cool a bit after that.
· For the Rangers, at least, the game was well over when Sean Avery retaliated for a hit on Erik Christensen, earning seventeen penalty minutes and a one-way trip to the locker room. It was nice to see some life from the Rangers, although it was definitely too little, too late. Even nicer was seeing Avery stand up for this specific teammate, who made some controversial remarks about Avery following the brawl in the game against the Oilers a week and a half ago. Clearly, there is no bad blood between these two. Most disturbing, however, was the Rangers' distinct inability to defend Lundqvist every time a Lightning player ran him over in the crease.
· So, how long before Brian Boyle leads the team in goals?

Stupidity has no bounds.
Stupidity has no bounds.
Whats every1 thinks about the new "shielding" active on the new item ? imho its kinda weakish ( 50 + 10 per lvl = 230 damage shield at lvl 18 ). Sure its cheap ; sure u get to actually use health gold/5 item into something that any support could use , but the amount of damage it shields at lvl 18 is laughable , some champs at the end game will eat u alive even with it.
P.S. some people in solo ranked amaze me so much , we did our bans , decided every1 role and then some **** instalocks ziggs and shouts "IM MID!!! IM PRO!!!AHAHAA1111.." result was obvious , our real mid was gimped from the start and the flamewar began.
And the fact they only found out a couple of hours after his death? Wouldn't they notice after like a half hour his screen hasn't changed at all? And frozen stiff??? How long after he died did they find him, seeing Rigor Mortis only comes in around 2-6 hours and seeing it's a cybercafé the temperature would be enough for him to become only in that state after 4-6hours.
Ziggs ulted him that hard huh?
talking about the bomber, he is fun got him last night and have been dominating in dominion hard.

CANTON St. Lawrence County legislators approved a short-term training program Monday to transition Public Health employees from home health care to operating clinics.
The shift is because the county Board of Legislators eliminated the Certified Home Health Agency, along with more than 30 positions. The CHHAs sister service, the Long-Term Health Care Agency, has transferred its last patient and recently closed.
Registered nurses with the most seniority who were left after the layoffs were those with experience in home health care, not in the departments other services, among them clinics, such as for vaccinations.
What were doing now is attempt to shift to what were going to be doing, interim Public Health Director Lorraine B. Kourofsky said.
At the same time, the department is expecting the March 31 retirement of Kathy Bell, the registered nurse with the most experience in clinics, she said.
Legislators agreed with some protest to allow Mrs. Bell to go to part-time status after her retirement.
The department gave nearly 4,000 vaccines last year, a number which could grow because of regulatory changes that could cause some physicians to stop providing shots, Ms. Kourofsky said.
Our clinics are quite intense, she said. We have had a big turnover in staff. You really need a seasoned nurse to give the training. Its not just giving a shot. Its all the things that lead up to the shot.
Training will help the department reorganize, Ms. Kourofsky said.
The department should rethink how it does business, Legislator Daniel F. Parker, R-Potsdam, said.
Are we looking at cross-training some of these people so were not in this position again? he said. I would encourage that.
Ms. Kourofsky had requested Mrs. Bell stay on part-time for six months but legislators settled on three months.
Some legislators thought registered nurses should not need that much time to ramp up their skills and some did not like the personnel methodology.
We do have a full-time position on the books, and were creating a part-time position, Legislator Mark H. Akins, R-Lisbon, said. I see a whole array of problems with this.
Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, who joined in voting against the part-time plan along with Mr. Akins, Alex A. MacKinnon, R-Fowler, and Kevin D. Acres, R-Madrid, was also critical.
When we bring back a retiree, this is double-dipping, Mr. Morrill said.

Video: WNY Man Pleads Not Guilty to NY Safe Act Charge
SILVER CREEK, N.Y. -- A man from Hanover in Chautauqua County pleaded not guilty Wednesday to criminal charges he faces under New York State's controversial new gun control law.
Benjamin Wassell is the first person to be arrested under the New York SAFE Act.
He's charged with three felonies and a misdemeanor after state police say he tried to sell two banned assault weapons to an undercover officer without requesting a background check.
The two incidents happened in Chautauqua County in January and February, according to the criminal complaint.
Wassell declined to comment in court Wednesday, but his attorney said he will rigorously defend his client.
"Ben (Wassell) is a good man," Defense Attorney Michael Deal said. "He's a good father. He served his country and sacrificed himself to do that in the course of that, and I don't think whatever happens in this case, that that shouldn't be forgotten."
A couple dozen people were in court to support Wassell and also to support the Second Amendment. Some said they had never even met Wassell but wanted to be in the courthouse due to the significance of this case.
"This law is a bad law," said Dan Devlin, a gun rights supporter. "And anytime you decide to take the ability to protect one's self away from the average citizen, we're wrong."
Wassell faces up to 7 years in prison if convicted on all the charges.
He will be back in Hanover Town Court at 2 p.m. on April 17.

FF Kievit supports 166 different languages such as Spanish, English, Portuguese, Russian, German, French and Greek in Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts. (Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.)
The initial work on FF Kievit began in 1995, as part of a school project. The concept was finished several years later for a corporate client of Method Inc., a design firm in San Francisco. The openness of the characters and their proportions makes it an ideal typeface for use in small print. The clarity of classic sans serif faces (Frutiger and Univers) and the humanistic characteristics of old styles (Garamond and Granjon) were the inspiration for this contemporary design that is equally at home in a headline or a body of text. The FF Kievit family includes nine weights, true italics, old style figures and small caps—everything necessary for even the most demanding typography.
Critical reception to FF Kievit was good, too. Aside from receiving an ISTD Award in 2001, the typeface was included in the ATypI's list of the best designs of the previous decade during its 2001 bukva:raz! contest and exhibition.

Where the Power REALLY Lies
We wander for a while, looking at the new shows. Mrs. FtF (usually pretty charitable in her opinions) says of one group exhibition, "This is horrible." She's right. It is.
By 4:30 we've seen enough. But I want to see the Turrell. So we sit down in the hallway outside the room to wait. Soon a crowd starts to form. At 4:45 it's me, the wife and kid, and a group of 20 German tourists. I can understand exactly three words of what they are saying among themselves: "Turrell," "Roden," and "Crater."
At 4:55 the door still isn't open. The Germans are getting restless. One of them starts making paper hats for the kid out of the floor plans they are all carrying. Security staff members are pacing the hallway. Mrs. FtF overhears them discussing the problem. They've lost the key to the door. Brilliant. You put a major piece of contemporary art behind a locked door, and you don't keep a spare key around?
I'm about ready to pack it in when along comes one of the art handlers. He's been installing a show in another gallery on the floor. He sizes up the situation, pulls a Five-in-One painter's tool out of his pocket, sticks it between the door and the jamb, gives a little pull, and pops the door open for us.
Now I know who really holds the keys to the art world kingdom. It's that anonymous guy who nobody trusts with a key but who's always got the right tool in his back pocket.
Jesus Loves Google Print
Writer begs publisher to give her book to Google Print
One of Kottke's readers is a writer named Meghann Marco whose publisher is joined to the suit against Google over the excellent, writer-friendly Google Print service. She has written an amazing open letter to her publisher:
I asked my publisher, Simon and Schuster, for my book to be included in Google Print. I was told they did not do that.
Lack of exposure is the primary reason that a book like mine would fail in the marketplace. I spend most of my day trying to get attention for my book. Not for the money, but because I believe that it is well written and funny. Very few authors will become rich writing books. We do it because we have something to say. If we wanted to be rich, we'd have invented a search engine!
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. After all, it's perfectly free to check out a book from the library. I have no problem with my book being indexed by your site. In fact, I wish it was!
Someone asked me recently, "Meghann, how can you say you don't mind people reading parts of your book for free? What if someone xeroxed your book and was handing it out for free on street corners?"
I replied, "Well, it seems to be working for Jesus."

Project Entropia
Gamer Buys Virtual Space Station
"A virtual space resort being built in the online role-playing game, Project Entropia, has been snapped up for $100,000 (£56,200). Jon Jacobs, aka Neverdie, won the auction for the as yet unnamed resort in the game, which lets thousands of players interact with each other. Entropia also allows gamers to buy and sell virtual items using real cash.
The space station is billed as a "pleasure paradise". Last year, a gamer bought an island for $26,500 (£13,700). The space station is described as a "monumental project" in the "treacherous, but mineral rich" Paradise V Asteroid Belt and comes with mining and hunting taxation rights. With the price tag also comes mall shopping booth and market stall owner deeds, a land management system, a billboard marketing system, and space station naming rights. Neverdie is a popular and well-known in-game character. He and another character, Island Girl, appeared in a 2003 dance music movie Hey DJ!, which starred Jon Jacobs, Charlotte Lewis, and Tina Leiu..." From Gamer buys virtual space station, BBC News.
I have a beef and I don't know where else to vent
Pall Thayer:
There have been a handful of interesting experiments involving use of
the so-called Apple Motion Sensor or Sudden Motion Sensor that's
built in to all recent PowerBooks and iBooks. Most of these projects
have used a program called AMStracker to read from the sensor.
However, the current version works only with the first powerbooks to
come out with the sensor. It doesn't work with the iBooks and now the
newest PowerBooks have yet a new way of handling the motion sensor.
When I made my Carpenters Level Dashboard Widget, at first I used
AMStracker. But it bothered me that I had to instruct people to
download and install AMStracker. You see, it's proprietary and the
creator, Ahmit Singh strictly forbids distribution of it. So, for the
sake of making installation of my widget easier for the end user, I
went looking for an open-source program that would do the same thing.
I found it, it's called Motion, originally written by Chris Klein.
Since it's open, you can distribute it along with your nifty motion- sensor-enabled-whatever-it-is. On top of that, I've adapted the
original version so that it works on iBooks and have now adapted it
again to support the newest PowerBooks. Ahmit still says he's trying
to find the time to fix AMStracker for the iBooks (on top of that, he
says that it's an OS thing but it's not, it's a hardware thing. Don't
tell him. Let's let him think it's an OS thing).
Here's my beef. I'm still seeing stuff coming out for use with
AMStracker. Why on Earth would anyone want to use it when there's an
open alternative? It boggles my mind. So, if anyone is interested in ...
