DEKALB JUNCTION - This is the sweetest time of year for Brianne L. Tulley and her sister, Courtney A. Foote.
Winter has started to release its icy grip, which signals the start of the north countrys maple syrup-making season.
Its a busy time of year for the two sisters, but you wont hear them complaining.
Thats because producing maple syrup is more than just a hobby for the women and their parents, Lori A., and Jeffrey E. Jenness, operators of Orebed Sugar Shack, 503 Orebed Road. Its an activity that keeps family bonds strong and helps create new friendships.
We were still in diapers when we started helping out in the sugar house, Mrs. Tulley said. Now its in our blood.
This year, Mrs. Tulley, 27, and Mrs. Foote, 24, were both named Maple Person of the Year by the St. Lawrence County Maple Producers Association. The award was given at the organizations Feb. 2 banquet.
The two sisters have been actively involved in the maple industry at both the county and state levels for much of their lives. Together they have worked as co-chairs to establish a strong Maple Queen and Maple Princess program in the county. In past years, they have each served as a county maple queen and a state maple queen, as well as alternates.
Mrs. Tulley serves as webmaster and secretary for the SLCMPA. Mrs. Foote has served as a delegate to the state Maple Producers Association and as a trustee for the North American Maple Museum. Shes now serving on the state Maple Producers Committee for Maple Royalty.
The sisters are third-generation maple producers. The familys involvement began with their grandparents, Laura McAdam of Gouverneur and the late E. Paul McAdam.
Mrs. Foote said she and her sister are very close and working together in the sugar shack helps them maintain that strong bond. Also, they both married husbands supportive of their interest in the maple syrup industry.
Its nice to know that once or twice a week during sugar season Ill get to spend time with my sister, Mrs. Foote said.
The two sisters were instrumental in helping the family to expand from just maple syrup into other products such as maple cream, maple candies, maple lollipops and granulated maple sugar.
Mrs. Foote recalled the 1998 ice storm that damaged so many maple trees the family didnt tap that year, which meant no maple syrup making until the following year.
It was awful, Mrs. Foote said.
More than two decades ago, the girls and their family started on a small scale, with about 50 buckets on the family operation on Country Club Road, Gouverneur. As the family grew, the number of buckets increased and eventually some gravity-fed tubing was added.
In 1999, they moved with their family to Orebed Road where their 109-acre property included a 45-acre sugar bush full of red maple and sugar maple trees. In 2006 a new heated sugar shack was built where visitors can purchase maple products and gift certificates.
Technology has helped the Orebed Sugar Shack operation grow. The family business now has 1,600 taps on vacuum tubing. The sap is filtered and processed with a reverse osmosis machine. Boiling is done in an oil-fired evaporator with pre-heater wood and automatic draw-off. Since the operation follows organic regulations, the products are certified organic.
The sap recently started flowing in the Orebed sugar bush, but the family hasnt started boiling yet.
The Orebed Sugar Shack will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for Maple Weekend activities March 16-17 and March 23-24. There is no charge, and activities include candy-making demonstrations, maple samples, and information about how the equipment works.
Details about the Orebed Sugar Shack can be found on Facebook, on the website www.orebedsugarshack.com or by calling 347-3415. Information about other area maple producers that will be open maple weekend can be found at mapleweekend.com.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — There is about to be a shakeup in the town's restaurant scene.
Both Michael's Restaurant and Hobson's Choice have been put up for sale and the former Mezze site on Water Street will soon be filled with a new upscale restaurant.
Owner of the former Mezze location on Water Street Charles Fox said he could not reveal the details of the restaurant but the owners expect to open in June. The new owners have good reputations of running "upscale and trendy" restaurants in New York City, Fox said. The business is listed as Hops and Vines to be managed by Gil Rubenstein.
"In another 10 days there will be a more complete announcement," Fox said on Thursday. "They hope to have it up and running before Williams' graduation."
A liquor license for Hops and Vines will come before the Selectmen next month. The restaurant has just recently filed as a company with the Secretary of State and has yet to submit information to the town's Board of Health or Building Inspector.
Michael's Restaurant, a Route 2 mainstay, may also switch hands. The restaurant is advertised for sale at a price of $425,000 through the real estate company Alton and Westall. Michael Nikitas, who helps operate the restaurant with his sister and owner Cindy Nikitas, confirmed Thursday that the business is for sale but refused to elaborate. He said he would provide more information in the next few weeks.
The business has been in the Nikitas family for 40 years. It first opened at as an A&W Root Beer stand and became Michael's in 1984 when Michael Nikitas transformed his family's stand into the restaurant it is today. Cindy Nikitas purchased it from her brother in 1991 running it as the chef and owner. The two teamed up to run it in 2000.
Hobson's Choice is also advertised for sale for $495,000 but owner Daniel Campbell said he does not expect to close it. Campbell, who has been running the restaurant for 20 years, is looking for a new business partner after his former one left the establishment.
"We're testing the waters. I'd rather not sell it," Campbell said on Wednesday. "I'm actively pursuing partners."
Hobson's Choice, also on Water Street, has been in business for 20 years.

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
Drama, Suspense/Thriller, SciFi/Fantasy
It is the year 2032, and the line between humans and machines has been blurred almost beyond distinction. Humans have forgotten that they are human, and those that are left co-exist with cyborgs--human spirits inhabiting entirely mechanized bodies, and dolls--robots with no human elements at all. Batou is a cyborg. His body is artificial: the only remnants of his humanity are found in traces of his brain--and the memories of a woman called 'The Major'. A detective for the government's covert anti-terrorist unit, called Public Security Section 9, Batou is investigating the case of a gynoid--a hyper-realistic female robot, created specifically for sexual companionship, who malfunctions and slaughters her owner. As Batou delves deeper into the investigation, questions arise about humanity's need to immortalize its image in dolls. The answers to those questions lead to the shocking truth behind the crime--and quite possibly to the very meaning of life, itself.

PETIT LARCENY - MASSENA - Massena-based state police charged Courtney E. Lashomb, 23, of Massena with petit larceny following a shoplifting complaint filed at 4:31 p.m. Wednesday from the Sears store at the St. Lawrence Centre mall. She reportedly left the store without paying for a 32-inch Samsung television. Lashomb, who has a history of petit larceny arrests, was arraigned by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $2,500 cash or $5,000 bond.
PETIT LARCENY - PLATTSBURGH - Plattsburgh-based state police charged Tanika L. McGregor, 18, and Bobbie Jo Larock, 34, both of Massena, with petit larceny and sixth-degree conspiracy after responding to a shoplifting complaint at 5:34 p.m. off Smithfield Boulevard in Plattsburgh. They were both arraigned in local court and sent to the Clinton County Jail.
Larock and Kady L. Lafleur, also of Massena, had been charged Tuesday with petit larceny after allegedly shoplifting approximately $900 worth of clothing from the Sears store in Watertown. Larock was also charged with endangering the welfare of a child in that incident. A juvenile was charged with fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property in connection with that case.
Troopers said LaFleur stole $184 worth of clothing and Larock stole $289.24 worth of clothing. Police also reported that $405.78 worth of stolen clothing was later recovered from the car of one of the defendants.
Troopers allege that LaFleur and LaRock stole the items and then gave them to the minor to hold on to.
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT - MASSENA - Massena-based state police charged Matthew A. Whitehead, 18, of Winthrop with two counts of sexual misconduct and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child Wednesday afternoon at 27 Buck Road, Winthrop. The charges stemmed from an investigation into incidents on June 16 involving a 16-year-old female in the village of Massena and Oct. 30 involving a 15-year-old female in the town of Stockholm.
PROPERTY DAMAGE ACCIDENTS - POTSDAM - State police investigated a number of property damage accidents around the region Wednesday. Among those:
■ Mark J. Norman, 45, of Madrid at 6:35 p.m. on state Route 345, near Crosbie Road, in the town of Potsdam.

The Carbon High soccer team opened region play in Roosevelt against Union. The score ended up 5-1 to Union. But the game itself may be moot as for whatever reason, Union was only able to secure one ref for the game and the rules state two or more officials must be present for it to be an official region game.
The game was played with fans from Roosevelt pulled off the side lines to help out and it was an ugly affair with yellow cards given to coaches and Carbon fans. Coach Jerad Upwall stated his team didn't play their best because it was difficult to do so with the lack of proper officiating and they just "kinda gave up."
Upwall is hoping the game will be replayed at a later time.

Influence of Antiretroviral Regimen on Immune Reconstitution in the Female Genital Tract
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Increases in cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4)+ T cells in the blood is well documented in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals after starting antiretroviral therapy (ART), but increases CD4+ T cells in the cervix is variable and not fully understood. Although the amount of HIV in the vagina declines in parallel with those in the plasma when antiretroviral therapy for HIV is started, HIV is still detected frequently in cervical samples from women with undetectable plasma viral loads, suggesting that low level viral replication in the female vaginal tract could lead to both inflammation and incomplete increases in CD4+ T cells. Two classes of HIV medications, nonnucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors are substantially lower in the female genital tract compared to plasma, whereas concentrations of another class, nucleos(t)ide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors are similar or higher to those found in plasma. Thus, many widely used first-line three drug HIV therapies only achieve high concentrations of only two medications in the female genital tract. Importantly, with the recent development of raltegravir (RAL), which achieves concentrations in the female genital tract higher than those in plasma, ART regimens that deliver high concentrations of 3 antiretroviral drugs to the female genital tract are now available. The investigators hypothesize that cervical CD4+ T cell reconstitution is better and inflammatory markers are lower in HIV-infected women on a HIV-therapy including tenofovir (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC) with RAL versus ritonavir (RIT)-boosted atazanavir (ATZ), and that this is due to therapeutic concentrations of 3 versus 2 antiretroviral drugs in the female genital tract.

She recalls walking picket lines when her nurses' union struck Oregon Health & Science University in 2001 for better wages and safer working conditions. Fritz tells the story at almost every campaign stop as she faces a difficult fight to win re-election.
On Jan. 27, she attended a candidates' forum sponsored in part by Occupy Portland. The audience members were told if they got bored by a speaker, they should give a wrap-it-up hand motion.
Fritz was only a minute into her nurses' strike story when someone gave her the sign.
"No," Fritz told him sharply. "You can't do that to me right now. This is my story. I've got to tell my story. It's why I'm on the Council."
Even though her identity as a union member remains key to her message, labor has largely abandoned Fritz.
Firefighters, police and other city workers this year have endorsed Fritz's main challenger, state Rep. Mary Nolan (D-Southwest Portland). That means unions are opening their checkbooks—and unleashing their members as volunteers—against Fritz.
Nolan has already taken a $20,000 donation from the firefighters' union, the biggest donation in the race so far.
Labor leaders say Fritz hasn't been there for them on key issues, from wages and benefits to city services critical to doing their jobs.
That's left many union members—some still angry about the city's change in overtime rules—eager to see her off the Council.
"I don't want to say they felt betrayed," says Joe Baessler, political coordinator for Oregon Council 75 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. "But for a person who is, 'I'm labor, I love labor, I love working people,' to push the idea of rolling back benefits for our folks was worse than if someone who wasn't a friend of labor had done it."
Fritz says some unions have mischaracterized her record. "I was on strike for 56 days for protecting the work week and workers' rights," she says of her days as an OHSU nurse. "I was disappointed that apparently people don't know who I am, if they suppose I was attacking them."
In her three years in City Hall, Fritz remains an outsider when it comes to many big issues facing the city. She's struggled to show results on most of her initiatives and has often been on the losing end of Council votes. But Fritz says she has not lost touch with voters—she probably attends more community events than anyone else on the Council—and refuses to change her principles, despite pressure to go along.
Fritz has also imposed campaign contribution limits on herself. She will take money only from individuals, and no more than $50 a year from any one person. Her self-imposed controls hark back to 2008, when she won election using the city's public campaign finance system. (Voters killed the program in 2010.)
Had she won over unions this time, Fritz says, she still wouldn't have taken their PAC money. But she could have cut off what promises to be a major cash supply for Nolan.
Nolan's challenge to Fritz has left some union leaders uneasy about choosing between the two.
"We have great respect for both," says Susan King, executive director of the Oregon Nurses Association, "and wish they weren't running against each other."
The nurses' union, which has contributed to Nolan's legislative campaigns in the past, endorsed Fritz this year because of their longstanding connection.
But other unions have not hesitated to take a stand against re-electing Fritz.
Firefighters' union president Jim Forquer says his members think Fritz has not stood up for them on a range of items, especially in her oversight of the Bureau of Emergency Communications.
The No. 1 issue: Fritz's handling of the troublesome new 911 system, the $14 million VCAD, installed last spring.
Police, firefighters and other emergency workers say the system is full of bugs: Officers were sent to wrong addresses, and the command center couldn't keep track of where they were. Other local governments (the county and other cities contribute to the 911 system run by the city) were stuck paying for maintenance on an expensive system that didn't work right.
"I don't think Commissioner Fritz grasped the seriousness of those issues," Forquer says.
Fritz says she stands by the 911 changes, which she says replaced an outdated system that was far worse.
"There was no question in my mind to go ahead with buying the new system," Fritz says. "I'm really proud of it."
Notably, the 911 mess started with the firefighters' closest friend on the City Council, City Commissioner Randy Leonard, who pushed through a $2 million, no-bid contract with the consultant helping guide the 911 planning. Fritz inherited the job of implementing the system and is now taking the heat.
Fritz isn't surprised she has lost the support of firefighters and police, whose union, the Portland Police Association, is also backing Nolan. (Daryl Turner, president of the Portland police union, declined to discuss the endorsement.)
Fritz says she has opposed firefighters over staffing and budgets, and voted against the 2010 bond measure for new fire equipment. She says she has also been outspoken about police discipline cases, demanding more accountability from officers.
"I say what I believe is right," Fritz says, "and if the voters decide that's not what they want, then that's what they decide."
The loss of one endorsement, Fritz says, did surprise her: AFSCME Local 189.
"That was a heartbreaker," she says.
The union represents 950 city workers. AFSCME and other public employee unions are still smarting over the city's efforts to curb overtime pay.
The city pushed to end overtime for workers who had not yet put in 40 hours in a week. AFSCME representative Rob Wheaton says this rule would have ended overtime for workers who go beyond eight hours in a day.
"There is a perception that Amanda was behind the eight-hour-workday attack, but we do not know what was said in executive session," Wheaton wrote in an email to WW. "The membership was upset at City Council as a whole for this, and she is just the first incumbent that is asking for our endorsement."
Fritz says that isn't true and blames the city's human-resources department for proposing those terms. She says she only wanted what the city finally got: to stop workers who called in sick during the week from volunteering for overtime during the weekend. Wheaton says Fritz wanted to go even further in restricting overtime.
AFSCME has yet to donate to Nolan, but Wheaton says the money will follow—and so will union members making phone calls and knocking on doors. "When we endorse, we intend to put as much into it as we can," he says.
Nolan says she isn't surprised that she's winning union support. Nolan says she's heard complaints that Fritz isn't good at compromise or finding agreement, and points to her legislative record as proof she'll do a better job.
"I think the distinction is pretty clear," she says. "I have been an advocate for middle-class families and working folks and specifically unions for 30 years."
Nolan—who is barred from raising money during the February legislative session—is sitting on a cash balance of $171,502—most of that raised since she announced for City Council last July.
Fritz, meanwhile, has $41,064 (after loaning herself $50,000) and few prospects of raising much more.
Janice Thompson, executive director of government watchdog group Common Cause Oregon, says Fritz has to be ready to mobilize her supporters to fight back.
"Any candidate, regardless of why they don't have money, had better be positioned to run a people-powered campaign," she says.
Thompson says a fundraising strategy like Fritz's can work when the opponent is unknown, or when the disparity in fundraising hurts the richer candidate.
That happened in 2004, when former Police Chief Tom Potter ran against then-Commissioner Jim Francesconi for mayor and limited donations to $25. Potter was well-known and popular, Thompson says, and Francesconi's aggressive fundraising turned off voters.
Fritz says she's confident she's going to win—and that she wouldn't run her campaign any other way.
"I don't want anybody to have to worry or wonder, 'Is she voting that way because she got a boatload of money from X, Y person or corporation or union?'" she says. "It is really hard, though."

Buzz: Is The January Deadline Real?
11:51AM: The two sides will not meet until 5PM
10:10AM: Yesterday, while meeting with the media outside the NHL offices, Gary Bettman confirmed that the NHL needs to start by the middle of January if they want to have a season, "we have said that we need to drop the puck by 1/19 if we want to have a 48 game season. We don't want to play anything less than that."
Damien Cox though, in the Toronto Star, doesn't believe that no deal by January 11th, with a week for training camp, would cancel the season. Cox says that there is "not a chance" the season is cancelled this early and reminds that the 2005 season wasn't "snuffed out" until February 16th.
Doug MacLean said on Sportsnet last night that both sides in the room understand that they are finally up against the deadline.
Adam Rotter: This is the one thing that I keep coming back to. Do the players, Donald Fehr, really believe that the end is coming in ten days or is this just a power play from the owners? If they don't think the deadline is real and Gary Bettman and the owners do….then we won't have a season. The NHL has already complained of negotiating against itself and I can't imagine they will want to keep doing that, which is what will happen, if they extend past the January 11th deadline.

Burns and blisters are easily avoidable in the kitchen when you've got a few safety gloves and mitts within reach. Just like work gloves help protect your digits from cuts and scrapes outside the kitchen, safety gloves and mitts cover you when you're cooking or transporting food. Touching a hot handle or picking up a pan that's been in the oven without wearing a mitt or glove is a mistake you won't soon forget. Avoid the pain and embarrassment by always slipping something over your hands before moving cookware or popping something in the oven.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer visited home-buyers at a housing development site the day after he announced in his Budget speech the government's measures for assisting first-time buyers and existing home-owners in moving up the property ladder, with a GBP £3.5 billion investment in government loans to financially stretched homebuyers and GBP £12 billion towards a scheme to increase availability of mortgages to first-time buyers unable to afford a large deposit. Homebuyers will be able to borrow up to 20% per cent of the value of most new-build properties interest-free for five years. (Photo by Mark Large - WPA Pool/Getty Images)

Cheers and sighs erupted at Santa Ana City Hall as would-be pot shop owners got their chance to obtain a permit to legally sell medical marijuana in the city.
Thursday afternoon's lottery was a result of the city-backed, voter-approved measure that says dispensaries can operate only in two industrial areas.
Applicants were selected during a lottery overseen by an independent accounting firm to ensure impartiality, city officials said. With more than 600 application fees paid at $1,690 each, the city brought in about $1 million in revenue. The city won't have a complete list of winners until Friday.
The randomly selected applicants now move on to the Regulatory Safety Permit phase of the process; that application costs $12,086 and is submitted to the Santa Ana... Read More

So are the lvl 409 items gonna get axed or what? FFS, just because of some jeallous whiners all the fun is being drained from the game nowadays, this takes the piss!
409 items actually have little to do with this shit. It's a bug where veng would calculate your damage as unmitigated, even tho you're mitigating 99% of it. This allows both invincibility and absurd amounts of AP.
Other classes are pretty strong with these items but nothing out of hand. They managed to progress through heroic DS which was real challenge for lv80 characters. Soloing LK25 HC isn't anything special either, the mount drop rate is absymal anyway. Think of something like Kaelthas, every nub and their mother can now solo this boss at 90.
Old content is old content - fucks given: 0. They could've fixed that without impacting max-level raiding though, like tanking Windlord or Empress adds. All thats needed is exclusion of MOP raids of 5.1 "no raid group and lvl req" feature. This pala soloing LK or Nef or Raggy HC - no one cares. Soloing Elegon - well, he killed a boss which was cockblock for HALF of raiding guilds...SOLO.

Former author of the TankSpot.com Protection Paladin guide
the only problem with the 409 gear atm is that DKs and and maybe paladins can get 121%+ avoidance, lower parry from str and its fixed. could change this for 80 only, so it would not affect level 90 at all. But i agree with alot of ppl here, fixing the vengenace bug instead would be great.
I'd hate to see hard level caps for raids again, as level 80s vs 85 content is fun. Could just reinforce a cap vs 90 raids i guess.
- Thanks Axalicious for this awesome sig.
I don't think this should be treated as an exploit generally. The only weird thing is the level requirement for the recent raids. Why does anyone bother, if there's a level 80 soloing 80 or 85 content? It's outdated and it doesn't hurt anyone if those soloing guys clear these instances. It's another challenge on the other hand, so it's a special (most of the time rare) task. It's only a problem, if they clear any level 90 raid.
I personally like to watch these soloing videos, but I also know how much effort they put into it to achieve their goal. And this is why I respect their success and don't want to take that away from them.
- Imbalance PvP in the level 80 bracket incredibly
- make gear from ICC and Ruby Sanctum obsolete at level 80
- allows level 80s to solo bosses like LK-25, Yogg+0, and even Baleroc 25 HC
You are probably going to say that "this is low level stuff, who cares," (and I agree to some extent) but Blizzard shouldn't imbalance any aspect of the game on purpose, like they clearly did here.
---------- Post added 2013-01-09 at 09:25 AM ----------
At least you would be able to use those items at 85.
Anyways, they aren't too expensive. On Emerald Dream US, for instance, they costed ~1k gold per piece last time I checked.
i noticed the 80 hasnt tried feng garjal or the spirit kings..or the will of the emp.. i guess the fight is considered impossible lol or something.
Heh this happened sooner than I thought. Funny that instead of fixing the actual cause, they just go and cap vengeance at your max HP. So you can still bug it, but the most you'd get is 100k which isn't nearly enough to solo anything beyond ICC10 or something like that.

HARMONY, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Just one week after the loss of their daughter, a couple in Harmony is already working to give back to others who might have to go through the same thing.
Craig and Karen Stutzman have been through a lot over the past 8 months. Their 13-year-old daughter, Aliza Jean, was diagnosed with brain cancer last June. She spent 17 weeks of that in the hospital undergoing radiation, chemotherapy and other forms of treatment.
"We were quickly propelled to a healthy child into whoa this is really serious," said Craig.
Though Aliza remained positive and optimistic through it all the illness proved to be to much and she lost her battle with cancer on January 23rd 2013. Her mother Karen recalls spending the last days by her side.
"Got to hold her so much more than I ever would and I just remember her being so sweet and caring about everybody else," said Karen.
Barely a week into their grief the parents are already looking for ways to help others who might go through a similar situation. They have started the Aliza Jean Family Cancer Foundation that will financially help families whose child is fighting brain cancer.
"We were so focused on by so many people that we want to focus on the just one. Find that family that needs that blanket of support and that's what got us through," said Craig.
Donations for the fund may be sent to Bangor Savings Bank, care of Aliza Stutzman Fund, P.O. Box 454, Skowhegan, ME 04976.

Sorry don't use macs man. Linux and Windows dual boot the whole way. The only reason I need Windows is for Splinter Cell & BF2.
do u have USB problems with macs?
i have a powerbook g4 and a powermac g4 and both
have prob recognizing usb memory sticks, usb external hard drives and
dvd burners, etc.
problem: mouse wont work = frozen!
[ this is the standard powermac usb mouse that plugs into the keyboard that plugs into the usb ]
problem: same thing with the powerbook g4!
some guys have all the luck, some guys get all the fame,
some guys get all the breaks, some guys they do nothing but complain.-----Rod Stewart
Sorry don't use macs man. Linux and Windows dual boot the whole way. The only reason I need Windows is for Splinter Cell & BF2.
1. Are the hard disks, CD/DVDs, and USB thumb drives formatted for the Macs you are using?
2. Does it make a difference if you plug them in before or after you boot the Mac?
I would make sure the devices are formatted properly.
I have a G4 Mini Mac and use usb mouse & keyboard without any problems. I've recently bought an external usb hub since the mini only has 2 usb ports. I haven't tried connecting anything to it yet.

My iMac and MacBook have no issue as of yet. These are the newer Intel C2D based Apples, so that may have something to do with it. Seems like your machines are an older chipset and design than the current motherboards, so that may have something to do with it.

My immediate challenge is borders. I did find a set of European borders at Geocommons, but they are problematic in several respects. They are only available in Shapefile or KML form and I need to be able to import them into Excel to make files in Versamap format. There is a KMLCSV Converter, but it does not appear to work for Geocommons files. And if I got them in Excel I would need to reduce the number of vectors by four-fifths or more to make them compatible with my scale. Finally, I have yet to find any borders for East Asia.
Any suggestions?

A back-to-the-roots harmonica combined with state-of-the-art technology.
The Hohner Marine Band Deluxe Harmonica is a contemporary addition to Hohner's Marine Band legacy. Combining the features of the historical, legendary harmonica with a variety of state-of-the-art improvements, the Marine Band Deluxe produces greater volume and faster response while retaining the richness and power of the harmonica's classic sound. The deluxe Marine Band harmonica has a sealed pearwood comb plus rounded channel openings and outer corners for greater playing comfort. Assembled with 3 reedplate screws and 4 cover screws to make it airtight and easy to service.
For more than 100 years, the Marine Band harmonica has been the favorite of renowned artists like Little Walter, Paul Butterfield, and Kim Wilson. Since 1896, discerning professional harmonica players in search of an unmistakable and unique sound have played the Marine Band as their harmonica-of-choice.
About Hohner:
Hohner is a family company founded in 1857 in Trossingen, Germany by Matthias Hohner. Hand-made quality and close attention to detail has set Hohner apart from the beginning. A top leading brand in harmonicas, Hohner harps are distributed worldwide. Hohner harmonicas are played on the street by buskers, in intimate nightclubs, on festival stages, and even in Carnegie Hall. Despite a diverse harmonica line used in music from country to classical genres, the most famous Hohner harmonicas are their simple, 10-hole diatonics used frequently by blues, rock, country, and folk musicians.

Comments about Hohner Marine Band Deluxe Harmonica M2005:
I have been playing Hohner Special 20s for about 4 years now; I enjoy the Special 20, but wanted to take a step up in the Hohner roster to try a more responsive and craftier harmonica.
I purchased a C Marine Band Deluxe as well as a C Marine Band Crossover to test them side by side, because I have found little to no (helpful) material online to help make my choice. If you're discerning between the two, I hope this comment helps you!
Most of my playing is waiting for trains, around campfires, in friends' apartments having little jam sessions, or in religious settings like a Mass with an acoustic band. I am not a professional, but I play every day and value a good instrument, one that can amplify my (hopefully) growing skills.
I prefer the Marine Band Deluxe to the Crossover, though they are close. In terms of playability, both provide far more responsive reeds than the Special 20 or Marine Band 1896, playing louder, clearer, and quicker than their less-expensive friends. The bends can be pulled far deeper, as well.
I prefer the Marine Band Deluxe, yes, for its appearance (I think the pear wood is more attractive than the bamboo), but mainly for its sound: whereas both play beautifully, the Deluxe I think has a WARMER sound than the Crossover, which sounds more metallic. Related to this, I think the Deluxe has better sounding chords than the Crossover.
Yes, the Crossover's webpage boasts many, many quotes from professionals, while the Deluxe only has a handful of even consumer reviews, but going simply by my feel and by my ear (which is the same way I play; I'm no musical whiz like most of you), I easily prefer the Deluxe to the Crossover and will (re)build my set with these.
(Two notes: At least for the one I purchased, the harmonica's metal plate is different than in the picture above; "Marine Band Deluxe" is all on one line. Also, I received a neat neoprene case much like the Crossover's, instead of the blue plastic box shown above.)

Comments about Hohner Marine Band Deluxe Harmonica M2005:
This is one of Hohner's best. The covers have been improved, they screw on and are stronger and less likely to bend out of shape. The reedplates also screw onto the comb, which is still wood, but is sealed. The hole channel openings are rounded, as well as the corners. This feature makes it more comfortable to play and to handle. It is a good looking harmonica, and an improvement over the old Marine Band, which has always been a favorite of mine. The hard plastic case is attractive, but lacks the vented design of Hohner MS series harmonicas. The sound is quite good, as expected from a German Hohner. Most notes were accurately tuned on mine, with the exception of two or three, which could have received more attention at the factory. I always test mine with a chromatic tuner, and have cheaper Hohners that are more accurate. All said, I like this model quite a bit. It plays easily and has a sweet tone. I'd hate to have to spend the money for a complete set, but it is a fine instrument.

Health and Public Services Division
The Health & Public Services Division Mission Statement
The Health and Public Services Division of DACC will serve the needs of the community by providing skilled and dedicated professionals in the areas of health, education and public service while providing quality educational opportunities to a diverse population of learners.
Overview of H & PS Programs
Dental Assisting: Dental assistants may prepare equipment, materials, and instruments for patient care; perform sterilization and disinfection procedures; provide patients with instructions for dental procedures; create temporary crowns; provide coronal polishing and placement of sealants; take impressions of teeth; create study casts (molds); take and review patient medical histories; expose and develop radiographs; and a variety of other duties. They may also be responsible for administrative tasks, such as billing, patient verification, scheduling of various types of treatment appointments, and material inventory.
Dental Hygiene: A dental hygienist is a vital member of a team of dental professionals dedicated to improving oral health and supporting the general health of individuals and groups. As licensed professionals, dental hygienists provide educational, clinical, and therapeutic services and may be involved in research, administration, client/patient advocacy, and marketing or consulting.
Diagnostic Medical Sonography: A diagnostic medical sonographer is a highly-skilled professional who uses specialized equipment to create images of structures inside the human body that are used by physicians to make a medical diagnosis. Sonography uses high frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to examine many parts of the body, such as the abdomen, breasts, female reproductive system, prostate, heart, and blood vessels. It is also used to guide tissue biopsy for lab testing.
Education: The Education Program offers two Associates Degree programs; the Associates in Early Childhood and the Associate in Education. There are also courses designed to help students attain the NM Child Development Certificate and the NM Early Childhood Administrative License.
Emergency Medical Services: Pre hospital emergency medical care is a challenging and exciting profession. People's lives often depend on the quick reaction and competent care of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics. Emergency medical services (EMS) professionals may work at any of four different levels: first responder, EMT–basic, EMT–intermediate, and paramedic.
Fire Investigations: Fire investigations is a complex career field that involves multiple disciplines, including the criminal justice system. They usually rely on scientific principles and research in an analysis of fire remains to determine the cause and origin of the fire. Investigators work to determine whether the fire was deliberately set and what contributed to its subsequent growth. These findings can become an integral part of a criminal investigation that may require legal action to be taken against the responsible party.
Fire Science Technology: The Fire Science Technology Program provides training for firefighting personnel, which is accredited by the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress. This program provides classroom instruction leading to an associate of applied science degree in fire science technology or a certificate of completion in firefighting. It is suited to those who are new to the field, as well as seasoned professionals.
Health Care Assistant: This versatile program has been designed to allow graduates to take advantage of expanding career opportunities available throughout the healthcare system. This program consists of options which can be taken separately for individual certifications, or together as part of a complete program. Individual options are phlebotomy, nursing assistant, and electrocardiogram technician.
Health Occupations: The Health Occupations Program offers a variety of science classes that include laboratories at multiple satellite locations. These courses include Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Ethics, and Nutrition essential for both General Education and Allied Health programs.
Law Enforcement & Criminal Justice: The Law Enforcement program provides classroom instruction leading to an associate degree in the fields of corrections or law enforcement. This program provides courses to prepare for entry-level careers in agencies at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as private agencies.
Law Enforcement Academy: This program is not currently recruiting or enrolling students, but as soon as certification is complete, a community outreach and recruitment program will be initiated.
Nursing: The Nursing program at DACC affords students the opportunity to become Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN), Registered Nurses (RN), and members of a respected and rewarding profession. Nursing is a dynamic and exciting discipline offering not only the rewarding experiences of helping others achieve their health care goals, but also enabling the nurse to become a part of the rapidly advancing health delivery system of the future.
Public Health: The associate of applied science degree in public health provides the initial course work to prepare students for a career in public health. Public health professionals work with community leaders to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate public health interventions such as smoking cessation, chronic and infectious disease awareness campaigns, vaccination programs, and family planning and prenatal care initiatives.
Radiologic Technology: The DACC Radiologic Technology Program provides the student with the academic knowledge and clinical skills necessary to attain eligibility for certification and meaningful employment in the diagnostic imaging profession. Radiologic technologists typically find employment in settings such as hospitals, imaging centers, clinics and physicians' offices. Opportunities for specialization in specific areas of medical imaging such as mammography, CT, MRI, and the Cardiac Cath Lab are possible.
Respiratory Therapy: Respiratory therapy is an allied health profession that deals with patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. Respiratory therapists are health professionals that evaluate, treat, and manage patients with respiratory problems and other cardiopulmonary disorders under medical supervision. Respiratory therapists perform patient assessment, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, emergency and critical care, patient education, pulmonary rehabilitation and home care.

Ever play Capture the Flag as a kid? If you live near Olympia, WA, you can play it as an adult – and potentially win some cool cash. O Bee Credit Union used Microsoft Tag 2D barcodes to create Capture the Tag, a fun way to promote local commerce and educate participants about finances, fraud, and saving money.
Players download the free Microsoft Tag app to their smartphones, then seek out and scan 30 Tags located at various businesses. Each Tag plays a video that provides clues to the location of the next Tag along with personal finance tips. Participating businesses can offer their own discounts and incentives, but no purchase is required. Co-sponsors offer clues and contest info on their sites, and players can interact on Capture the Tag Facebook and Twitter pages.
Contestants who collect all 30 Tags during the two-month promotion are invited to an end-of-contest Tag Party, where they are eligible for various prizes, including a first prize of $10,000.
"We want to engage and challenge Generation X and tech users to socially connect offline as well as online," says Lee Wojnar, vice president of marketing for O Bee Credit Union.

WEST CARTHAGE An open forum to learn the communitys perspective on issues pertaining to the Carthage Central School District yielded positive results, organizers said.
Its evident that we need to do more of this, district Superintendent Peter J. Turner said. To do it quarterly is a good idea.
The forum Tuesday night was organized by Mr. Turner and the Board of Education in response to the failed capital project vote in March. The goal was to broaden communication between the board and community. About 50 people attended the event, from school employees to members of the community.
I think its therapeutic. ... We wanted to assure people we had nothing to hide, board President Barbara A. Lofink said.
Attendees at the forum suggested poor communication and a general distrust of the board based on previous experiences were why the $13.2 million project failed.
The board came under fire in 2011 for questionable ethics and since then has struggled to regain the trust of community members.
Thomas R. Sauter attributed the lack of communication in part to the manner in which public forums at the start of board meetings are conducted.
Im not sure its an effective open forum, said Mr. Sauter. Were having a conversation right now. ... Thats not a conversation; this is.
The board has credibility issues ... which I think the past board and superintendent were the problem, said Terry L. Buckley of Champion. Having the building vote before the budget vote was a big mistake.
Ms. Lofinks last-minute decision to pursue a different seat on the board rather than defend her own in the May election also was brought into question.
Ms. Lofink said, It came to my attention that a faction of the community wanted me ousted. ... I felt they put up a ringer against me and I decided to change that. I decided it was more important for me to stay on the board, so I ran for a different seat.
She said that each year members of the board wait until the last minute to submit their petitions, and her situation was no different.
The ringer was Tod W. Nash, who ran unopposed for the seat occupied by Ms. Lofink. Ms. Lofink defeated Abigail L. Hammond for the seat occupied by Lori D. Miller, 300-226. Also in the board election and school budget vote, at-large voting was approved.
Ms. Lofinks three-year term as president will be up June 30, at which point Mr. Nash will take over and Ms. Lofink will take the seat formerly occupied by Ms. Miller.
The consensus from those who voiced their opinions was that the issues between the two groups could be fixed and that open communication could go a long way toward reaching their overall goal: providing the best possible education to district students.
Other topics of discussion included overcrowding at Black River Elementary and the proposed capital project and where it went wrong, and the school budget.
