CANTON The first day of the larceny trial of Bobbie Jo Zeller was cut short Wednesday when the lead witness stormed out of the courtroom in tears.
Ms. Zeller, 32, of Norfolk, faces two counts of grand larceny, accused of scamming Potsdam resident Gloria J. Dietze out of more than $3,000.
Wednesday afternoons testimony focused on Ms. Dietzes financial records. Special Prosecutor Nicole M. Duve used the records in an attempt to show how Ms. Dietze regularly provided Ms. Zeller with payments ranging from $80 to $500, with the expectation of being paid back.
Defense attorney Brian D. Pilatzke attempted to highlight discrepancies between Ms. Dietzes records and her testimony.
After more than two hours of questioning from both attorneys, Ms. Duve asked Ms. Dietze to clarify the story behind an ATM withdrawal made in 2011. She asked whether the cash had been given to Ms. Zeller. Ms. Dietze said it had. When Ms. Duve asked Ms. Dietze how she could be sure, Ms. Dietze responded it was because she didnt pay any of my bills.
When Ms. Duve asked her to clarify her statement, Ms. Dietze became upset and threw the photocopies of her financial records in the air.
She knows it, she said, pointing at Ms. Zeller before storming out of the courtroom with tears in her eyes.
Dont ask me to come back, because Im not, she said as she left.
The incident happened just a few minutes before court was scheduled to wrap up for the day. Judge Jerome J. Richards adjourned the trial after the incident, admonishing members of the jury not to consider Ms. Dietzes final comments when the time comes for them to deliberate.
It was a statement made under emotional stress, and it should not be considered, he said.
The trial began at about 11 a.m.
In her opening statement to the jury of 11 women and four men, Ms. Duve said she would prove Ms. Zeller was behind a good old-fashioned con.
This case is not complicated, and I dont expect it will take very long, she said.
Mr. Pilatzke said the prosecutions case is built on untruths and shaky logic.
When you hear this case from the witness stand, I want you to ask yourself two questions, he told the jury. Why doesnt this story make sense, and why does it keep changing?
According to Ms. Dietzes testimony, her brother Robert L. Dietze introduced her to Ms. Zeller in 2011. At first, Mr. Dietze asked his sister for money to pass along to Ms. Zeller. Once Ms. Dietze met Ms. Zeller for herself, she began making payments herself, sometimes neglecting her own bills to help the defendant, according to her testimony. She said she was living on Social Security at the time.
These payments were always in cash. Her records and her memory are incomplete, so the exact amount of money lent is unknown, although it is alleged to be between $3,000 and $4,000.
Ms. Dietze said she believed the money was to help Ms. Zellers diabetic son. She stated Ms. Zeller promised to pay back double what she borrowed.
I thought we were friends, Ms. Dietze said. She was good to me. She would come and talk with me.
Mr. Pilatzke pointed to discrepancies between the testimony and the financial records. He focused on payments Ms. Dietze claimed to have given to her brother to pass on to Ms. Zeller on Aug. 25 and 27, 2011, even though she earlier had stated her first such payment was not made until Aug. 28.
There was some discussion in the courtroom before the trial began about whether to allow certain evidence and testimony.
Ms. Duve argued that testimony from some of Ms. Zellers other alleged victims would confirm Ms. Zellers ambition to scam others.
Ms. Zeller is accused of stealing more than $300,000 from the late Monsignor Robert L. Lawler and others, charges which have not yet been brought to trial. She turned down a plea deal that would have combined the charges involving all the alleged victims.
Mr. Pilatzke argued such testimony had no bearing on the current case.
Judge Richards has yet to decide on the matter.
The trial will resume at 9:45 a.m. Friday.

Sinking of the U.S.S. Radford
Type: Ocean
Region: Ocean
Location: Atlantic Ocean
Wednesday of last week I had the opportunity to go out on a ferry and watch the joint cooperation from Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware to sink the decommissioned destroyer, U.S.S. Arthur W. Radford. We launched about 9:30 in the morning and arrived at the site at 12 and the sinking was already underway. It took about 3 hours before we could start to see a difference in the massive ships position but as soon as the stern went down the rest of the boat followed in a titanic like manner with full submersion in about a minute and ten seconds. Sidescan was done on the boat a couple days later and found the boat sunk just as it was planned with the broadside in to the current coming out from the Delaware bay.

Paralyzed Veterans of America Tournament
Type: Freshwater
Region: Northern
Location: Smallwood State park
Over the weekend PVA (Paralyzed Veterans of America) had a two day bass tournament in Smallwood State Park. The first day the Veterans fished by themselves being guided by the captains, and the second day they both fished. I helped out Sunday the second day of the tournament by clipping fins of the bass as they came off the scale. The point of clipping the fins is that during this week there is going to be an electro fishing survey to recover those bass. Based on the amount of fish recaptured we can estimate the mortality rate of the fish from the stresses of the tournament. Later this week I will put up another log about the electro fishing survey we are going to do. Overall it was a great weekend with the boats pulling in 605 pounds of bass from 61 boats. The biggest culled weight was around 17 pounds, the biggest bass was 6.11 pounds, and the 100 dollar prize for biggest snakehead went to a 6.88 pounder

Summer Surveys For This Student
Type: All
Location: Coastal Bays and Susquehanna Flats
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week I was out with the Coastal Bays group doing a summer trawl survey down in Ocean City. We met in Annapolis early in the morning and on the way down to the boat house we picked everyone up. At the boat house there was evidence of other animals from there recent trawls, they had tons of animals including northern puffers, mummichog, summer flounder, and starfish all in a holding tank. We launched soon after having reached the boat house and headed to our first spot north of the route 50 bridge. We took multiple pieces of data before we started the trawl, like latitude and longitude of our position for the beginning of the trawl, water depth, visibility, temperature, salinity, and a couple others. We then threw the trawl net over the back and then began hauling it behind us. When we stopped I took depth and GPS position while waiting for the crew to hoist the net aboard the boat. They dumped all that the net contained into a large bucket which then was dumped onto our green sorting table. The majority of the catch was crabs, weakfish, and bay anchovy although there was a mix of other more interesting fish too. We measured every fish in millimeters and stated crabs gender and whether or not they were mature females. One of the most interesting trawls I did with the coastal bays group was our second to last one. As we pulled up the net and dumped it onto the table I could already see the wide variety of fish it had. We saw a bunch northern sea robin, striped sea robin, toad fish, a bunch of flounder, and even some squid. The most interesting thing we saw though was a mantis shrimp, they are also known as thumb splitters because of a claw at the front of their body that can strike at speeds of 23 meters per second or the speed of the .22 caliber bullet. To say the least we handled it very carefully.
On Thursday this week I went out with Biologist Eric Durell on the Juvenile Index Survey to the Susquehanna Flats. Once we reached the boat ramp we moved all our gear to the boat and launched for the first site. We sampled using a long seine net, pulling it across the beaches. The majority of what we found in the first pull was white perch, there was a good amount of rockfish mixed in, and the rest were different species of shiner and smaller baitfish. Our second pass was much more interesting, we pulled the seine through a much deeper part of the flats and as we were bringing it to shore the seine started to explode with movement. When we finally got it to shore we saw two carp flopping around, as well as an older rockfish. After we pull in the seines we measure each fish until we had measured thirty of that species, then we count the rest of that species without measuring them. The point of this survey is to compare the amount of stripers and other game fish caught to other years where they used the exact same methods. This way they can predict if the spawn was greater, less, or around equal compared to previous years.
Overall the surveys this week were a lot of fun and I learned a bunch of new species like mantis shrimp, herring, silvery minnows and much more. Both groups will be sampling more in August and I hope I have another chance to go out with them and learn more.

Student Technican Experience - Week 3
Type: Freshwater
Region: Northern
Location: Patapsco
Tuesday of this week was my first day out in the field and Cameron and I went out to the Patapsco to do a stream survey where there once was a dam. The year earlier the same crew we were with had sampled these two locations (above and below the dam) and we were coming back to survey because the dam had been removed. The primary purpose was to see how the dam effected the fish population and overall health of the river. To survey the stream we had a crew of 19 in which most people had a backpack electro shocker and a net, the others would carry a bucket to keep the fish in. As we moved upstream the shockers would temporarily stun fish so that we would be able to net them and count them at the end of the pass. At the site of the survey there were two nets set up at the top and bottom of the site so that no fish could escape and we received an accurate picture of what life was in that section of river. At both sites we found common freshwater species like Smallmouth Bass, Northern Hogsucker, Red Breast Sunfish, Green Sunfish, Common Shiner, Margined Madtom, and American Eel. Overall it was a productive and fun day out in the field.
The next day Cameron and I did the same thing except that we went to a different portion of the Patapsco. One site a little further downstream from Daniels Dam, and another just before a bridge upstream of Ellicott City. The methods were the same but the fish were not, at the first site we shocked up two 12+ inch Yellow Bullheads and countless other smaller ones. The Smallmouth although smaller in size than the site a day before were much more plentiful, the same goes for the red breast, we must have shocked up over 50 in small portion of stream. Once we were done at the first site we ate lunch and then moved on to the next site, not without trouble though. The van in front of me had a small area to turn around in (especially with a large trailer hitched on) and began spinning its tires rapidly in the mud. Once we got them back on the road we had our last site to finish up. We shocked up the usual fish for this stream with red breast lower in abundance and no large bullhead like the previous site but nonetheless it was very enjoyable. On our last pass the heavens opened up and water was pouring from the sky making it difficult to spot fish but we toughed it out and finished the site.
Working with MBSS was really fun this past week and all the members of the group were helpful and taught me many things about identifying new species of fish to me. I hope before the summer is over you all will see another report of me working with them.

NOAA Smart Bouy - Gooses Reef
Type: Chesapeake
Region: Eastern
Location: Gooses Reef
NOAA and DNR partnered together to launch the most recent smart buoy at the Gooses Reef. The Buoy will record and send crucial data in the area it was located. Things like, dissolved oxygen, air temperature, water temperature, Ph, water salinity and many more parameters. Below is a video of the anchor (3 Train wheels, just above 2500 pounds), the buoy and the bottom monitor. The total launch took around 2 hours and what you see is the shortened version of it. You can access the information from this buoy and any other smart buoy located in Maryland on www.buoybay.org.

Patapsco River Sampling
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Patapsco River
On Thursday of this week Steven Cuccia and I traveled to Catonsville, Maryland where we electro shocked the Patapsco River in two different spots. Our first sampling location was at the dam by the Old Paper Mill right off Thistle road in Catonsville. This spot had its difficulties shocking, mostly because the river was wider than ones previous and the section we were sampling was a very fast portion of white water. We had two different ways of shocking the water. The first was a backpack form, which had one anode (Where the electricity flows into the water) and was powered by a battery. The other way was a barge that was pulled by one member of the team. The barge held a generator and ports for 4 anodes. We had around 10 shockers to make sure that most fish couldnt slip through between each shocker. The electro shocker stuns the fish so they arent able to move for a brief time period. Once we saw a fish we would net it and put it in a bucket on our way up stream. Once we had finished the section we would bring all the fish back to the starting point where they would be put in a larger container with holes in it so fresh water can pour through. Then we would begin to count each fish, and every time we came along a game fish like Striped bass, Smallmouth bass we would measure it. The purpose of sampling these sections of river is that some dams are being removed on the Patapsco and when they are removed they are going to compare the numbers of fish, and species of fish found. This will determine whether the dam was a positive influence or a negative influence on the river.

Interns Log From Western Maryland - July 16
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Western Maryland
This week the other intern Stephen Cuccia and I traveled from Annapolis to Frostburg, we had a very scenic drive and arrived the evening before an early wake up. We woke up at 5:30 the next morning and met Matt Cell at the UMCES Appalachian Lab. We grabbed boxes full of gear for the day, and an electro shocker. After a quick stop at Sheetz for some coffee we were on our way to the Middlefork, a feeder into Savage Reservoir. After about a forty minute drive we arrived right outside of the entrance. With a big crew we had no choice but to drive the treacherous path right alongside the stream. After a few scares of slipping down the hill all the vehicles made it safely to our destination. We unloaded all the gear, and contents of our mobile tagging station. We started a few hundreds yards from where the cars are parked and took all the gear down there. At first we had one big crew consisting of 5 netters, 2 buckets, and one electro shocker. We began shocking through pools bringing up Brook trout from there hide outs. The first run yielded too many to count and we had to stop halfway through to leave them in the livewell (A bucket with holes drilled through it so fresh water could pass through keeping the fish alive). Then as we made two more passes while Al Klotz and his son Kyle stopped to measure, weigh, and then record the fish. After the first section was done we realized we could be a lot more efficient if we split into two groups, each group with one electro shocker, 2 nets, and a bucket. As we kept shocking our way upstream Matt Cell and a few others were receiving the fish we had in the livewells to tag. This left the job to Marcus to run the livewells and buckets all the way back to the tagging station, a rather rigorous task. As we finished shocking the designated parts of the stream fish were still coming in to be tagged by Matt. I helped Marcus bring back a couple livewells and then watched the tagging process. All the fish were sedated so they would be calm and ready to be tagged. After they had properly been calmed Matt grabbed one fish at a time out of the container. He would first clip the adipose fin to later DNA test to see if there were multiple strains of brook trout. After that he would measure the fish, if it was under 180 millimeters they he would make a cut right behind the pelvic fin and then insert a tag. If it was over 180 mm then he would insert the tag by needle right below the dorsal fin usually on the left side of the fish. We would shock every 50 meters of stream so once all the fish from that section of river were tagged they would be returned to the same section they came from. Overall the day was very fun and interesting, it was a great learning experience.

Attorney General Peter Kilmartin says he would favor confiscating guns from people who are the subject of domestic violence restraining orders as a "preventive measure" that could avoid situations like the one in Johnston last Sunday when a mother and her young daughter were murdered, her son abducted and then left to roam the streets of Providence and a second daughter was found unharmed inside the home.
"Obviously the whole situation is horrific," Kilmartin told The Times Wednesday, "innocent people dying and children being abandoned. It's about as bad as it can get."
Restraining orders in general serve two purposes, the attorney general said. "To hopefully protect the person seeking them and to put the person who is the subject of the restraining order that someone is definitely in fear, the courts have already taken notice, law enforcement will take notice and make what could be a more volatile situation decompress."
That, he says, ties in with the notion of seizing any firearms in the possession of the accused abuser, to bring the person to his or her senses and allow a cooling-off period. He added, however, that the gun in the Johnston murder was possessed illegally in the first place.
"There are a lot of purposes to restraining orders, but generally speaking the more we can do to, especially in domestic situations, remove people from potential harm, move objects like a gun, if there is a proclivity toward that, out of the situation.
"We may never know how many lives we save, but I think we would save lives," Kilmartin said.
"Our hearts go out to the family, friends and community of the two women and the three children who may have witnessed the tragedy," Deborah DeBare, executive director of the RI Coalition Against Domestic Violence, said in the wake of the incident. "We are very saddened today at the loss of the lives of Evelyn Burgos and her daughter, Vanessa Perez." Domestic violence all too often impacts families, friends and bystanders, and we must remember them in our response to and prevention of these cases. While the details of this particular case are still unfolding, we know that (suspect Daniel) Rodriguez has a lengthy criminal history that includes domestic violence incidents, and that Rodriguez and Burgos were involved in an ongoing domestic dispute, according to police."
"Given the police reports, it is clear that these murders did not come about suddenly or without warning; they were likely Rodriguez's final act of abuse. We must be sure to refer to this double murder as what it is: the final act of domestic violence, for murder is the ultimate expression of the abuser's need to control his partner's behavior."
Law enforcement officials say that once the restraining order was issued by the court, Rodriguez could not be located so it could be served to him.
He was not found until after the murders occurred. Noting that, "we must address the issue of firearms with regards to domestic violence perpetrators," DeBare said, "this year, Rhode Island legislature proposed, but was unable to pass, a bill that would have made it illegal for individuals such as Rodriguez who had been convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor, to possess firearms. We hope when legislature returns they will be able to act on this important issue and help local police keep firearms out of the hands of convicted abusers."
Responding to that statement, Larry Berman, spokesman for House Speaker Gordon Fox, said in an email, "This legislation was part of the gun package that was introduced this year. While some of the bills received passage and were signed into law, there was no consensus reached among Assembly members on other bills, including this one. The Assembly will continue to work on gun issues in the next session."
A request to the Senate for a comment received no response. U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said Wednesday, "When you've got somebody who is under a domestic violence restraining order, to me it is only logical to say they shouldn't be carrying a gun until the facts are sorted out and we can ensure they are not a danger to the person who was threatened and who the judge felt a need to protect.
"If someone is willing to take a gun and shoot someone who was their domestic partner and shoot other members of their family, it's not clear how much difference one piece of paper is going to make," the second term Democrat said. "Clearly, trying to keep guns out of their hands at a time like that would be valuable goal."
"It's a tragic story," Gov. Lincoln Chafee said. "We're just finding out the victim was fearful for her life. We have to have a better system.
These women know, they know intuitively, the danger they are in."
Asked if gun control laws would have saved the victim, Chafee said, "This is a huge debate, there has to be a better system, though."

Tough new laws have been introduced over the last few years to clamp down on dangerous and careless driving with penalties including large fines, driving bans and imprisonment for those caught breaking the law. As a result, any organisation requiring its employees to drive on business must ensure they drive safely and legally or risk a charge of corporate manslaughter if they are involved in a fatal collision.

It's a tradition every holiday. Kiwanis members gather and celebrate the Christmas holiday with their families and each year a big hit is special guest, Santa Claus.
Last Thursday evening over 30 children, friends and families of Price Kiwanis Club gathered at the County Club to enjoy a holiday celebration.
As usual the children were each given a gift from Santa Claus, however this year, thanks to some extra questions ahead of time and an ingenious president of the club, Santa was knowledgable about the good little things and the bad little things each child had done this past year.
Many children were puzzled as Santa seemed to know a whole lot more about their behavior than he usually does. His ability to pick up new information gets better every year.
As with any party the joy of the season comes through the eyes of a child and there is nothing that lights up a child's face great than that of St. Nick.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
What could have been a spirited public hearing on May 23 at the Price City Council Chambers turned into quiet approval of the tentative budget for the city for 2012-13.
In the past two weeks Price City had sent letters to all its utility customers that some of the rates were going up and packaged that information with the fact the council would be looking at the tentative approval of the budget. Some expected a number of people to show up and at least ask questions about the rate increases and budget.
But the audience that night was only composed of city managers, two personnel from the health department, a few members of the Price Police Department and two local news reporters.
Only a little discussion was heard amongst the council, in particular one conversation about hiring practices as it related to seasonal workers and the budget. With that resolved the council passed the tentative financials for the next fiscal year.
Revenues for the budgets general fund come from a number of different places including sales tax (which is expected to increase 9.5 percent next year), property tax, highway taxes (expected to increase 5.4 percent) and from the electric fund (collected from users of the city's power system).
There are also some fund balances that will be left from the current years budget which will be incorporated in the 2012-13 budget.
The city's expenditure budget is broken down into many components, as are most budgets. Overall the city expects general fund expenditures to reach $9,683,072 for 2012-13. This is a 12.6 percent increase over last year's budget.
Much of that increase is due to Class C road projects that will expend about $650,000. The city will also be including in this budget a $180,000 payment for liability insurance, which was not in last years budget. This was left out last year because it was not within the total fiscal year. The payment date has now been set to comply with the budget timelines.
Over the next year capital improvements for the city will increase almost 85 percent over the last fiscal year. The largest increase in that area will come in the way of capital projects on the city's power system ($1,210,000). Two areas (information systems and the swimming pool) will see large decreases under the tentative budget.
Transfer of funds also plays into the city's 2012-13 budget with the largest transfer going from the electric fund ($2,295,985) to the general fund. This is because some city service funds that make money are used to support other services the city provides. Other transfers include $518,000 from the ZAP tax fund to capital improvements and $484,300 from the general fund to the swimming pool, amongst others.
The city will also find itself raising electric rates to its customers by 8 percent this coming year due to the fact that they are seeing an increase from their supplier. In addition during the current fiscal year the city created a Storm Water Utility to fund infrastructure, operation and maintenance of runoff water systems in the city. Beginning July 1 residential customers will be charged a dollar per month, small businesses will be charged $2 per month and large businesses $3 per month for the service. Revenues from these charges will be held in a fund balance as the city plans for infrastructure projects in that area for 2013-14.
Base water rates for customers will also be increasing in the next fiscal year, up $2.34 over the current year to handle bond debt service that is connected to water and sewer system improvements in the city.
In the general budget fund the most costly department to operate next year will be the police department. The budgeted amount is $1,799,400, but that will need to be revised somewhat because of the changes in administration and promotions within the department in the last few weeks.
Next is the streets department with a budget of $1,672,900 for next year. Other budgeted amounts include that for parks and cemeteries ($702,750), the library ($412,400), sanitation ($346,000), building maintenance ($327,200), finance ($264,500 and the city attorneys office ($153,700).
Overall out of all funds used for running the city the expenditures will be $25,359,304. Of that wages and benefits for employees will be $6,453,715, operations and maintenance will amount to $14,978,589 and capital project totals will be $3,927,000.

- Hey, I got me a nifty M$ Wireless Keyboard and Mouse. The keyboard input uses the ps2 port and the mouse uses the usb port (the receiver uses a y-type input cable with a usb to ps2 converter). There seems to be a problem with using both the keyboard and the mouse if both are using the usb port.
- My problem was that I couldn't get my mouse working under Debian. Now, I've scoured google and found interesting information. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to work the way the suggestions said they would. Oh, well. Frustration is half the fun of Linux, right?
- I tried using /dev/usbmouse as another forum suggested. Debian doesn't have /dev/usbmouse. Not sure why not, but it doesn't. After looking around in the /dev area I found two things that looked interesting.../dev/usb and /dev/input. After a lot of trial and error, I found that /dev/input/mice or /dev/input/mouse0 worked for me.
- You need to put /dev/input/mice in the /etc/X11/XF86Config file. When you run xf86config and you get to the point where it asks were your mouse is, just type the /dev/input/mice there. You should be good to go once you save the config file.
- One thing to make sure of is that hid is in your /etc/modules file. Fire up nano by typing nano /etc/modules. Look at the file and see if it's there. If it isn't, type hid in at the bottom. If it is and usbmouse is also there, comment out usbmouse like this #usbmouse. If you don't and your system is like mine, the mouse will go up and down but not side to side once you startx. If you've never used nano before, hit the control button and x at the same time, then press y for yes, then enter. That will save the file. Nano is a really good console text editor that is easy for us mule-heads to use without getting lost (hi, vim!).
Anyway, having done all these things, you should be good to go. Enjoy.

|Boone Council Approves 'Workforce' Housing
|Written by Gary Childers
|Friday, 14 December 2012 07:06
With the endorsement of Council member Lynne Mason, the zoning requests necessary for United Developers to build 'Watauga Green,' became a reality, "It really does address the housing need for our workforce. And we've been talking about this for years and this is the first serious proposal,"
she said of the multifamily, affordable housing project. The Council voted unanimously to approve the project which will be located where Clawson Trailer Park was previously located in the Perkinsville area. The Council is frequently approached, and regularly denies, requests to build multi-family housing complexes that are actually designed to accommodate students. These projects exceed the Town's density regulations and have potential negative impacts on residential areas. The keys to approval of United Developers request were the clear plans showing a variety of structures containing one, two, and three bedroom apartments, the layout of the apartments showing clear designs for family living, an application process that eliminates full time students, and a successful track record of providing good and attractive affordable multifamily housing in other areas.
In a related topic, Lynnwood Brown, chair of the Town's Affordable Housing Task Force presented the work their group had completed to date on developing ordinances for Council to consider that provides further incentives for development of multifamily affordable housing for the workforce within Boone. In summing up the affordable workforce housing goals of the Council Ms. Mason stated that there was no magic bullet that met all the affordable housing needs, but these are important pieces of the big puzzle that must be put together to create affordable workforce housing in the community.

Allergy-stricken readers will be relieved to learn there is an alternative to antihistamine medications, with their unpleasant side effects, in the form of a hayfever-fighting product based on acupressure points.
The Qu-Chi acupressure band, developed by acupuncturist Andrew Broch, works by applying pressure to the Qu-Chi point, also known as Large Intestine 11 (Li-11), on the arm.
A recent trial, which led to the band's certification as a Class 1 medical device in the U.K., has found it is fast acting, does not cause drowsiness, is suitable for people of all ages and can be worn at night.
It can also be used all year to aid the treatment of non-hayfever allergic rhinitis.
Broch says he is thrilled to be able to offer a side effects-free solution to the problems affecting millions of hayfever and allergic rhinitis sufferers every year, and which include sneezing, coughing, watery eyes and running nose.
Allergy patients looking for natural relief methods may also consider using herbal supplements such as those containing quercetin.
A plant-derived bioflavonoid, quercetin helps stabilize mast cells and prevents them from releasing histamine, according to MotherEarthNews.com.

Comments about Sorel Nakiska (Women's):
Bought a pair after my dog ate my old slippers. Loved them so much, I barely took them off for the first few days. I decided my daughter, who lives in a much colder city, had to own a pair. She loves them too. Very true to size--took a couple days to stretch a little, now fit perfectly, for both of us, sizes 8 and 9.
I will say I prefer my tan colored ones to these in green. The green color is just ok--but this was the only color left in my d's size. The green isn't quite as dark in person as the picture shows.
Also, I have a very high arch. The great support was a welcome surprise.

BRASHER FALLS Some who attended last weeks budget hearing in the St. Lawrence Central School District expressed concerns about first-grade class sizes next year and the possibility another administrator might be added to the staff rather than another teacher.
But incoming Superintendent Stephan J. Vigliotti Sr. said Thursday he has no plans to add to the administrative staff when he takes over in July.
Margaret D. Snyder, a high school English teacher, told the Board of Education she was concerned about adding a staff member who is not in direct contact with students.
Instead, she suggested, that funding could be better spent on another teacher for first grade, where class sizes are projected to be 24 students each in three classrooms.
How big is too big for first grade? Is there a number out there? she asked. As a parent and teacher ... I hope we dont lose sight of the children.
During the boards April session, teachers had provided a handout to board members suggesting the higher class sizes would result in an increase in behavioral problems, a lack of attention to students because of the higher student-to-teacher ratios and an inability to follow the prescribed small-group instruction in the districts tiered reading plan.
In an already high-needs district, student needs are only going to increase. Adding two more students to a class may not seem like a huge difference. However, depending on the specific academic and/or behavioral needs of those two additional students, in reality it could be like adding 10 more students, the teachers wrote.
Outgoing Superintendent Stephen M. Putman said he would not recommend adding another teacher.
Concerns were also raised during last weeks public hearing about the possibility of a curriculum coordinator being added to the staff rather than another teacher. Mr. Putman suggested a curriculum coordinator could serve a number of functions, including professional development.
St. Lawrence Central United Teachers President Thomas O. Morrison said he was surprised to hear about the possibility of a curriculum coordinator.
He said he had talked with board President James K. Lattimer in mid-March and had been told there were no plans for a position.
Mr. Vigliotti, who will become superintendent in July, said Thursday he did not envision a possible curriculum coordinator as a full-time administrator.
Heres definitely what were not going to do: Were not going to go out and hire a new Brasher Falls administrator to be in charge of curriculum, he said. It might be a person internally. It might be a person through BOCES the regional Board of Cooperative Educational Services which means that position would be BOCES-aidable. Were not going out and spending another $100,000.
The board has not made any commitment, Mr. Vigliotti said.
He said when he interviewed for the position, he asked board members how curriculum issues were being handled.
They explained that it was the building principals responsibility to get that done. Its impossible, Mr. Vigliotti said. If the lifeblood of a school is student achievement, then curricula and monitoring of curricula and student achievement has to be a top priority. Its about a laserlike focus on student achievement. ... My message to the board was that, more often than not, unless you have a dedicated individual to those ends, sometimes because of the daily grind and business that needs to be conducted every day, principals are at a disadvantage to pick up the ball and run with it.

BUZZ: The Rangers Are Going After Alexander Radulov
6:26AM: According to Larry Brooks in the NY Post, the Rangers are attempting to acquire the rights to pending RFA Alexander Radulov of the Nashville Predators.
Brooks writes that Sather and Nashville GM David Poile are beyond the "kicking tires" stage of talking and the Rangers are urgently trying to acquire his rights so that they have a window to try and sign him before July 1.
Radulov, 25, has a big offer from the KHL on the table but Brooks rights that Radulov is believed to want to stay in the NHL.
Radulov has won the KHL MVP Award three straight years.
After returning to the Predators for their playoff run, Radulov had seven points in nine regular season games and 6 points in eight playoff games.
Radulov was benched for two games after breaking curfew in the Nashville series against Phoenix.

Submission Iran Lifts Block On Gmail->
redletterdave writes: "After blocking Google's Gmail service for a little more than a week, the Iranian government has decided to remove the digital barrier after a barrage of complaints, some of which came from Iran's own parliament. While the Iranian government has released no official statement as to why Google's Gmail service was blocked in the first place, several Iranian news agencies reported the ban was connected to the inflammatory anti-Islam film "The Innocence of Muslims," which had been uploaded to YouTube, one of Google Inc.'s many subsidiaries."

The Portage Health Rehab Lecture Series event titled "How to Feed a Picky Eater," had to be cancelled on its originally scheduled night of Dec. 5 because of the winter weather. It has been rescheduled to Thursday, Jan. 9 at 6:30 p.m. It will still be hosted at the rehab facility inside of Portage Health's main location in Hancock. Below is the original announcement.
Portage Health Rehab is hosting its next lecture series event, titled "How to Feed a Picky Eater," on Thursday, January 9 at 6:30 p.m. at Portage Health Rehab inside of the University Center clinic on Michigan Tech's campus.
"This lecture is perfect for parents who are having trouble getting their children to eat a variety of foods," said Elizabeth Martin, MA, CCC-SLP. "Along with offering solutions for parents with picky eaters in their family, we will also discuss typical feeding and swallowing development."
Monica Aho, PT, PCS, will join Martin at the presentation. The two specialize in pediatric rehab.
"There's a wide range of solutions," Aho said. "Some kids only eat one kind of food over and over, some are frightened to try anything different and some have physical impairments that make certain foods more difficult. We'll discuss solutions for all of these problems and more."
After the presentation, there will be opportunities for free consultations with Martin and Aho regarding your specific situation.
Learn more about the Portage Health Rehab Lecture Series at portagehealth.org/rehablectures, and RSVP to this event on Facebook to receive a free gift at the event.

Siren Song: The Life and Works of Dr. Stanley Krippner10/30/2012
by Nadine Vaughan, Ph.D.
It is 1975. I arrive at the threshold of the rest of my life with excitement. I am about to meet the folks who make Saybrook the "go to" place for a doctorate in humanistic psychology. Then called The Humanist Psychology Institute (HPI), it is already the stuff of urban legend. I remember the comments of friends, and laugh out loud. "Really? You can write your dissertation on that?" Now I will see the faces of these courageous academicians.
I drive up to New Jersey and enter the meeting room, knowing something amazing is about to happen. It does. This is when I meet Dr. Stanley Krippner. Off in a corner, looking nothing like Freud, James, or Skinner, Stanley sports a colorful jacket of indigenous design and a smile that twinkles each time he hears a student make an outrageous claim concerning paranormal events. Tasked with educating these searching souls, Krippner's eyes lower as he carefully chooses just the right words. Students wait; miners ready to collect the gems he produces from the recesses of his great mind. Stanley's brow slightly furrows as he weighs the ramifications of his words; his steady voice becomes a loving friend. Although I do not yet know how, this early trek into the unknown pads my own path into the nature of consciousness and changes my life.
Fast forward to Saturday, August 4, 2012. Following weeks of excited emails proclaiming "Stanley is attending the APA conference in Orlando, and he is turning 80!", I startle at how much time has passed since my first meeting with him 37 years ago. It feels like the blink of an eye with life-times in between. I arrange to attend, wondering what I might offer this remarkable man on this uncommon occasion. He has done so much for the world. Does the world know? I decide to honor my mentor, my colleague, and friend with a filmed retrospective of his life and works. Nothing fancy. Heartfelt.
With Stan's permission, I invite my filmmaking partner to the occasion. An International group of well-wishers arrive to celebrate Stan's Birthday in style. Many travel from far places. We record interviews with Stan and other fascinating folks. Told from the perspectives of people personally touched by his efforts, the retrospective begins and ends on the night of Stan's party. It weaves into its tapestry, archival footage and published works. I name it "Siren Song: The Life and Works of Dr. Stanley Krippner". We would like to have it ready for Stan's Mill Valley party this fall or an award presentation soon after. Realistically, our plan is to finalize editing by this year's end, and make it available for purchase in 2013. A gift from my heart, only modest production costs will be retrieved. After that, all proceeds go to Stan. Happy Birthday, Stan.
Book Review: Post-traumatic stress disorder. Krippner & Davies10/30/2012
Book Review:
Krippner, S., Pitchford, D. B., & Davies, J. (2012). Post-traumatic stress disorder. Santa Barbara, CA: Greenwood.
Reviewed by Selene Kumin Vega, Ph.D. (Psychology), 2009
Trauma is often associated with violence, either from war, personal attacks, or abuse, but it can just as easily be a result of unpredictable and seriously disruptive forces of nature (hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods, for example). Traumatic events may be the extreme end of the spectrum of experiences of change that occur throughout our lives. Although the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is relatively recent (it was developed in the late 1970s as veterans returned home from Vietnam, often with emotional difficulties), the phenomenon of symptoms occurring following exposure to an extremely difficult events has been described in religious texts, literature, and diaries and memoirs.
The experience of a traumatic event does not necessarily lead to post traumatic stress disorder. Just as "stress" is a name for what we might experience in response to challenging situations outside of ourselves, the word "trauma" describes the wound or injury inflicted by an external event or situation. How each individual responds to those events and situations determines the intensity of the trauma experienced. As Krippner, Pitchford, and Davies emphasize,
How people experience their wounding brought on by a traumatizing event is strongly related to their person temperament, personal history (especially any prior traumas), context (the setting or environment,) and the subjective impact of the event—in other words, how they attribute meaning to what has happened. (p. 2)
The authors make the point that PTSD symptoms may be present even without what would usually be considered a traumatizing event. The continuum of distress from what we might call stress to what we understand as trauma includes responses to work-related and marital conflicts on one end, and war, violent abuse and attacks, and natural disasters on the other. The factors involved in "predisposing, activating, and maintaining" (p. 133) the symptoms of PTSD are complex and non-linear.
Krippner, Pitchford, and Davies have written this contribution to the Biographies of Disease series to provide a foundation for understanding PTSD. Rather than a treatment manual, this is an overview, covering differential diagnosis, the wide variety of manifestations of this complex phenomenon, PTSD in children and adolescents, the neuroscience underlying the symptoms, and the varied treatments available. The book achieves this goal, though it would have benefited from proofreading and editing. The first few chapters were somewhat repetitive, and there were a few slips where a different name was used to refer to one of the four case history subjects. The chapter on treatment approaches is fairly comprehensive and helpful at illustrating the wide variety of healing modalities used to address PTSD, though I was surprised to find no mention of body-oriented and somatic psychotherapy techniques such as Peter Levine's Somatic Experiencing.
Perhaps the most inspiring part of the book is the last chapter, focusing on the post-traumatic strengths that may develop through the process of journeying through PTSD. The authors make the point that for a surprising number of PTSD survivors, finding their way through their difficult response to a traumatic event can lead to going beyond their former baseline normal state of being. These people find strength and meaning that had not been part of their lives before their traumatic experience. In the process of healing, they were able to "mine the gold" of their experience and grow, returning to the world with gifts of newfound strength, compassion, courage, and resilience.

Higher Ed Watch - a look at student loan debt10/30/2012
The issues around the student debt crises continue to be a focus of this column. For this installment I thought to share some of the latest information being brought to us by a new website known as, StudentDebtCrises.org.
Student loan default continues to be a key concern for many. According to Andrew Martin reporting for the New York Times one in every six student loan borrowers is now in default. Default is defined as having fallen behind at least 12 months with payments. The federal government has in place a flexible payment program that in theory is supposed to prevent the borrower from default by way of low payments. These payments are so low that they are quoted as being affordable even for those who have lost their job. I couldn't find any way to find out as to whether this program works. However, embedded in HR 4170, The Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 there is a statement about discretionary income levels and how much a person has to repay is calculated according to income that is over 150% above the poverty limit.
Robert Applebaum introduced the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 to the US House of Representatives on March 8, 2012. Total outstanding student loan debt in America is tipping toward $1 Trillion this year. Since 1980 the average 4-year college tuition increased by 827%. Since 1999, student loan debt increased by 511%. We have a real problem here.
Student loan debt is the latest financial crises facing America and Americans. Many economists predict we will have another economic downturn of severe proportions if nothing is done. This is being referred to as the "student loan bubble."
Here are some of the questions that were asked about the act:
Does HR 4170 cover private student loans? Yes.
How is discretionary income calculated? Discretionary income is defined as the borrower's, and the borrower's spouse's (if applicable), adjusted gross income exceeding 150% of the poverty line applicable to the borrower's family size as determined under section 673(2) of the Community Services Block Grant Act (422 U.S.C. 9902(2).
Would the forgiven debt be treated as taxable income? No.
What happens if the student borrower is unemployed or becomes unemployed? The borrower would still qualify for enrollment in the program if they become unemployed or are unemployed. For borrowers who would owe zero dollars based on their discretionary income, the Department of Education would make a case-by- case assessment of the appropriate minimum monthly payment. This minimum monthly payment, even if calculated at zero dollars, would be applied towards debt forgiveness.
Would there be caps on the maximum amount of forgiveness available? Yes and no. Under the bill, there would be no caps on the maximum amount of forgiveness available for borrowers who are currently in repayment or in school. For new borrowers, the bill imposes a debt forgiveness cap of $45,520 as incentive to students to make sound financial decisions and to encourage colleges and universities to lower the cost of their tuition.
How would HR 4170 impact interest rates on student loans? The bill would cap interest rates on federal loans at 3.4%
Would a borrower still be eligible to enroll if his or her loans are in default? Yes. Unlike the federal government's program of Income Based Repayment (IBR), there is no requirement for the borrower to be current on his or her loans to qualify for enrollment in the new 10/10 program.
What if a borrower already paid the equivalent of 10% of discretionary income for at least 10 years? Under the terms of this bill, those who have already paid the equivalent of at least 10% of their discretionary income over the prior 10 years totaling 120 payments would immediately qualify for forgiveness upon passage of the bill.
How are married couples incomes calculated for purposes of this plan? For married couples that file their income taxes jointly, loan payments would be calculated according to household income. Loan payments for married couples filing separately would be based on the individual borrower's income.
As a parent who took out a Parent Plus Loan, how would this bill help the parent? The parent would be eligible to enroll in the program.
Would this bill restore bankruptcy protections for student loan debt? No. However, Rep, Hansen Clarke will be introducing a "Student Loan Borrower Bill of Rights" in the coming weeks which, if signed into law, would restore bankruptcy and other consumer protections for student loan debt. The "Student Loan Borrower Bill of Rights" would also propose a host of much-needed reforms to the student lending system.
Let's hang on and see what ends up taking place. There is no doubt about this being a very serious issue.
Be well and take care.

Midwest Living Review
Despite the amenities Tamarack Lodge offers on a daily basis -- beach bonfires, movie nights, wine tastings -- developer R.C. Hermann says that the parking lot is usually empty by midmorning. There's just so much to do in the Traverse City region, that people don't spend a ton of time in the 29 time-share condos. But you couldn't go wrong to spend the day sunbathing at Tamarack's beach on East Grand Traverse Bay, sipping great northern Michigan wines in the lobby with a sommelier from nearby the Chateau Chantal vineyard, or lounging on your outdoor patio with a good book as the waves lick the shoreline below.Tamarack boasts that woodsy, "up north" aura. The first thing you'll notice in the lobby is a large stone fireplace that, whether or not it's lit, emanates a cabin-like cozy warmth. Antique outboard motors and logging sleds remind you that you have left the rat race behind. Each room is decorated in Arts and Crafts era architecture, reminiscent of the grand lodges of yesterday, and boasting cherry and maple wood cabinets, stone and tile surfaces, and modern appliances. From $320.Currently confined to one building, Tamarack opened in 2006 and plans to add three more structures, including a conference center, recreational facilities and an upscale steak house.

Belguardo Rose IGT 13 Mazzei 12/75(12x75cl)
Beautiful light cherry red in the glass and rose petals on the nose. In the mouth there is a poised balance of acidity, alcohol and body, and the short period in wood adds to mouthfeel, structure and complexity, without overwhelming the succulent red fruit characteristics.
Morellino di Scansano Bronzone 10 6/75(6x75cl)
Brick red in colour with purplish depths, the nose is enticingly forward with aromas of cherries and raspberries and hints of plums and vanilla. Medium bodied, fruit driven and rounded with crunchy black cherry flavours and a balancing structure. The finish is clean and textured.
Serrata di Belguardo 12 6/75(6x75cl)
Displays the classic notes of ripe red fruits associated with Maremma, and a perceptible presence of black fruits, particularly blackberries. The structure is solid with tannins which are beginning to soften and add complexity to the good length. Persistant finish.
Vermentino IGT 13 Belguardo 6/75(6x75cl)
Medium lemon yellow in the glass, this wine is full-bodied and full of tropical fruits, vanilla and yellow peach, all kept fresh with a seam of textured minerality.
