The RFT tires are capable of continuing to support the vehicles weight even at zero pressure. This enables the customer, in the case of a total air loss, to drive at reduced speed to the next service station.
- Improved wet and dry grip
- Enhanced cornering and straight-line stability
- Helps withstand run-flat damage when being driven on while flat
Gone are the days you have to choose between a quiet ride and all weather driving performance when buying new tires. Safely take on all weather conditions with the Bridgestone Turanza all season tire with Serenity technology. Turanza has the optimal tread design to reduce road noise and handle the pavement in wet and dry weather.
Bridgestone focused on manufacturing tires based solely on Japanese technology. At first, the company met many challenges in producing and selling the tires, but it quickly improved product quality and the business rapidly expanded domestically and overseas. Throughout the 40s and 50s, the company's production levels made Bridgestone Japan's number one tire maker. In 1967, Bridgestone began selling radial tires for passenger vehicles. Around this same time, the company opened more locations overseas, including a sales headquarters in America. Throughout the 70s, locations opened in Indonesia, Iran, Taiwan and Australia. Guided by its One Team, One Planet message, Bridgestone is dedicated to achieving a positive environmental impact in all of the communities it calls home. This commitment includes efforts such as developing tires with improved fuel economy, manufacturing products and providing services in an environmentally responsible way, and establishing wildlife habitat and education programs. The company's culture and mission remains rooted in the words of founder Shojiro Ishibashi, who said Bridgestone is dedicated to "serving society with superior quality".217.39
Brand: Bridgestone Part Numbers:
Bridgestone's roots date back to the establishment of Bridgestone Tire Co., Ltd. in 1931. Founder Shojiro Ishibashi was already a successful businessman, thanks to the creation of Jika-tabi (socks with rubber soles used as work shoes) and thriving rubber shoe trade. Passenger vehicles were growing more popular, and Ishibashi realized the potential in providing tires for this new mode of transportation, so he took revenue from his family business to start a tire company. Ishibashi used an English translation of his surname, stone bridge, to name his new venture. In the past two decades, Bridgestone has taken a lot of steps to expand and diversify, including establishing new headquarters for their European and American operations, returning the Bridgestone brand to racing, and acquiring tire retreader Bandag, Inc. As Bridgestone approaches its 80th anniversary, the company remains committed to being a world leader in tire technology, developing the most advanced tires and rubber products and providing world class customer service.

The purchase of a state-of-the-art infrared broiler, which can reach 1,800 degrees in 90 seconds, has led restaurateur Arthur V. Sboro to beef up his menu.
The broiler is used to sizzle steaks and chops at his family-owned establishment at 836 Coffeen St., which unveiled a new name to reflect its meatier menu: Sboro's Restaurant & Chop House. Mr. Sboro and his brother, Steven P., have co-owned the eatery for the past 21 years. Arthur manages Sboro's, while Steven manages Art's Jug, an Italian restaurant at 820 Huntington St.
The brothers decided that the 20th anniversary was an ideal occasion to make a big change. Arthur, 61, was inspired to expand Sboro's menu after visiting a restaurant in Estero, Fla., two years ago while vacationing with his family.
Surprisingly, "the restaurant serves Italian food and sushi on its menu," a combination Mr. Sboro said he hadn't expected. "I told my brother we could merge our menu's traditional dishes with a steak-and-chop theme. We did it to add to our customer base here."
Featured on the new menu are a 28-ounce porterhouse, a 16-ounce New York strip steak, a 12-ounce sirloin, a porterhouse pork chop, a veal loin chop and chop-house chicken.
Diners also will notice a host of interior improvements: new paint, chairs, upholstery and lighting. The work was completed over the past month by Mr. Sboro's wife, Heather L., who spent nights refurbishing the restaurant after business hours.
Mr. Sboro's 25-year-old son, Arthur J., who earned a culinary degree from Jefferson Community College in 2009, recently was promoted to become a cook and host at Sboro's. Last week, he demonstrated how the new South Bend broiler efficiently cooks slabs of meat.
"It sears the outside of the steak and keeps the juices in, and we can do a thicker, bigger steak," the younger Mr. Sboro said. "It has enough heat to cook the top of the steak and bottom at the same time."
And the result, he contended, rivals some of the top steakhouses in the country.
"This is a good opportunity for us to compete with chop houses here, and show customers we can do quality steaks and provide a family-restaurant experience," he said. "They don't have to go to Texas Roadhouse."
Cook Mathieu D. Mitchell, who has worked at Sboro's for eight years, lauded the way the broiler cooks steaks effortlessly. He has cooked up to 15 steaks at once on the broiler, finishing that job in about five minutes — about half the time it took on the old grill.
"It saves labor time, and the steaks are a lot juicier and keep the flavor that is sometimes lost on a regular charcoal grill when they cook too long," the 31-year-old said.
The Sboro brothers launched Sboro's in 1992, retrofitting the original homestead owned by their Italian grandmother, Marie Anzalone Sboro.
"I remember the old homestead was falling down at the time, and Fort Drum was expanding, so we decided to open a second location" to complement Art's Jug, Mr. Sboro said. "It's taken 20 years for the restaurant to evolve to this point, and it's going to continue evolving for 20 more."
Sboro's Restaurant & Chop House is open from 5 to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, and from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

- How to Read a Study Record
Ten to 50% of women with gestational diabetes (GDM), or glucose intolerance first recognized during pregnancy, develop diabetes within 5 years after delivery. Although intensive interventions can reduce diabetes incidence in women with impaired glucose tolerance, it is unknown if such strategies would be effective in women with GDM. Women with recent GDM, even though no longer pregnant, face significant barriers to lifestyle modification, including caregiving responsibilities and low perception of risk. Web-based programs can reinforce physical activity through visual feedback of pedometer output, tailored messaging, education, and on-line communities. Such a program is currently available for adults with chronic disease and is led by Dr. Richardson, a co-PI on this application. Using data from focus group and survey work conducted by Dr. Kim, the other co-PI, this program can be modified to women with recent GDM. For Specific Aim 1, we propose to adapt a chronic disease web-based pedometer program to women with recent GDM. For Specific Aim 2, we propose to conduct a pilot and feasibility study of the program. The intervention will last 12 weeks.

If you have ever eaten a chocolate that's shaped and wrapped in foil to resemble a ladybug, football, sneaker, coin, pansy, turkey, Christmas present, miniature Santa, poker chip, or globe, it's a good chance it came from the Madelaine Chocolate Company.
Since 1949 when brothers-in-law Henry Kaye and Jack Gold founded the chocolate company in a compact loft in New York City, it has specialized in foil-wrapped chocolates—particularly seasonal items like Easter eggs and miniature Santas.
Earlier this week, I had a chance to chat with Henry Kaye's granddaughter, Estee Farber, who entered the family business seven years ago and is now the company's marketing director.
For the record, it took no arm twisting for Estee to come to work in the family chocolate factory, which is now located in Rockaway Beach, NY. "I think I always knew I would like to work in the business," she says. (Um, hello, Willy Wonka dream come true.)
Now here's an interesting fact that I really should put in a sidebar, but I'm plunking it right here instead: The Madelaine Chocolate Company is named after Madeleine Carroll, a beautiful British actress who starred in a few Alfred Hitchcock movies. According to Estee, her grandfather had a crush on Miss Carroll back in the day. He and his brother-in-law also thought her first name had a nice ring to it, so they made it the company name with a slightly different spelling, Madelaine vs. Madeleine. (I wonder if the starlet ever knew she had a chocolate company named after her?)
At any rate, The Madelaine Chocolate Company got its start with tiny foiled chocolate eggs made with Peter's Chocolate. Madelaine's still uses Peter's Chocolate, a brand now owned by Cargill, Incorporated.
The beautiful foils used to wrap the chocolates were originally found in Italy and still come from Italy. (Look directly below at photo of Madelaine's assembly line workers back in the 1950s looking awfully lovingly at bunnies about to get "foiled.")
According to Estee, the company's most popular "everyday" items coming off the line today are celebratory chocolate cigars in gold, pink, and blue foils. (My husband, proud as a little peacock, gave these out when our two kids were born.) In the Christmas category, Estee says the foiled miniatures (Santas, presents, balls, and snowmen) are perennial favorites. The minis also happen to be the company's best-selling items overall.
This Easter, the company is rolling out new Dueggs, which are egg-shaped, double-filled milk chocolate truffles. (One of the Dueggs truffle varieties is half filled with marshmallow, the other half caramel. Double yum!)
The Dueggs are a spin-off of Madelaine's Duets double-filled truffles, which launched in March 2010 and won the NCSA's best new product award.
Estee says her family's chocolate company is also working on expanding its seasonal line of Duets for Holiday 2012 with new flavor combinations and holiday-themed packaging. (Just in case Estee is reading this, I vote for a peppermint-milk truffle flavor combination.)
Below is a snapshot of some really cool items from the Madelaine Chocolate Company's Holiday 2010 Collection: (Click on each image for more product information. Click here for all Madelaine products available at Candy.com.)

2009 marks the 20th Anniversary of Wallace & Gromit, which began life when creator Nick Park was a student at the National Film and Television School. Robert Harrop Designs, an established figurine designer and manufacturer, were therefore honoured to have been approached by Nick Park and Aardman Animations, to create a collectable range of figurines in celebration of this occasion.
Robert Harrop, the founder of Robert Harrop Designs, had been a great fan of Wallace and Gromit for many years and was delighted to be involved in such a prestigeous project. The collection was designed by Creative Director, Matt Buckley, in close consultation with Nick Park himself and Aardman Animations, the spiritual home of Wallace and Gromit. The figurines were sculpted by Mike Rogers and Simon Boden and one particular preoccupation with Nick Park was the faithful reproduction of the "Thumby" nature of the modelling and the evolution of the characters' appearance over time. It is this sort of detail that is appreciated by their collectors and is sure to add to the future provenance of the collection.
The introductory figurines from 'A Grand Day Out' are each a Limited Edition of only 1,000 pieces and include Wallace, Gromit, the Cooker and the Rocket as a clockwork musical box that plays the famous Wallace & Gromit theme tune (Pictured above)! These first four figurines were released in March, alongside a special Gromit figurine for the Good Citizen Dog Scheme, pictured below. As well as being Wallace's trusty (and long suffering) sidekick, Gromit is also the face of the kennel Club's Good Citizen Dog Scheme, the largest dog training scheme in the UK.
Nice... tad Expensive(Been waiting ages for new news)
hehe i found out more about these a couple of weeks back and didnt post the info
the wallace is £32
the gromit is £25
the rocket music box is £52.99
the cooker is £34.99
a bit expensive
i would have been happier with resin/PVC plastic figures
I agree with Jordan but these figurines will be on the Antiques Roadshow in the future...
... heaven forbid if they appear on Flog It - I mean, who would want to part with those figures after investing lots of money in them?
...having said that, if they do appear on Flog It, I hope they will be as plasticine instead i.e. a 5 minute feature about Aardman Animations in Bristol with that lucky boy, Martin Wossisname telling us all about it with an Almighty Aard as a guest...
The figures look gorgeous, though. P'raps a Lottery win might help to secure them on the windowsill.
To anyone who can afford the figures - good luck to you. Treasure them and put them behind glass so that the cat or budgie doesn't fly around and break them.
Same with your COALPORTS
Yay! Katie you did post it!
purple and brown and purple&brown? this is confusing......Any way it looks like i cannot afford them at the moment
How much are these things in dollars?
pounds are about half so...
the wallace is $64
the gromit is $50
the rocket music box is $105.
the cooker is $68.
too expensive - i will never be able to get them
I'll be getting them!
I suggested some time ago that the Royal Mail should do a set of commemorative stamps for W&G's 20th Anniversary...
... and they'll be more affordable, too!
Rebel - you must have an obese piggy bank!
I will be getting a set. Even though it is costing me a fortune(I live in Australia so it is basically costing me double plus shipping on top of that) I just can't resist them. My credit card is now a smoking pile of ash!!!
Nice touch that the Rocket plays the theme tune.
I will be very keen to see what they come up with when they get around to doing figurines from The Wrong Trousers.
The early shots of the figurines from A Matter Of Loaf & Death look fantastic!!!
I´m from Argentina and it´s nearly impossible to get any of these figures. Besides, I agree that they are really quite expensive.
Anyway, I love Wallace and Gromit and it´s a pity we cannot get access to them, I wasn´t even able to watch A matter of loaf and bread when it was released.
I noticed the clever W/G 'smilies', and would love to be able to use them on my regular emails
What are these figurines made of? Although expensive I agree that the quality will not only last but validate the investment for those of us who support this very fun and fine collection of art that brings joy to ours, family, and friends hearts. In todays world this escape to W&G's world is a welcome relief as we take the time to do so.
when your 89 they will only be 3.99.
Just out of interest, I have 3 Thelwell pony figures, that were not limited edition, I bought in the 80s and these are now valued at over £100 each. I also have a pewter Mickey Mouse that is now worth much more than I bought it for.
Aardman wanted some really special items to celebrate 20 years of Wallace & Gromit, which I think is why they chose the high-quality figurines made by Robert Harrop. They're limited edition figurines - which is why they cost a little more than traditional resin toys made in large batches - but it makes them so much more special.
I think they're great collector's pieces and I'll certainly be saving up my pocket money for one. The trickiest part is deciding which is my favourite! Hmmm....
Eeeenie, meeenie, myyyynie, mo!
Katie, will Aards be launching 20th anniversary DVDs in the UK?
Analia - I should have extended a warm welcome to you...as you are posting all the way from Argentina (I love learning about South America).
Our beloved friends are indeed international stars!
I'm chuffed by the care that went into these quality pieces. They look really beautiful, although I haven't seen them in person. I agree it was a good choice to make something a bit more special for this anniversary-- something to pass down to later generations who will surely still be enjoying W&G, keeping them alive and well.
SockEye-- flying cats?! Holy (flying) cats! Indeed I'd better hide these behind double-glazed glass if I acquire one!
But stamps! There must be W&G stamps! Have you written to the RM, SockEye? Did we discuss this on another thread, some day long past? .... hmm....
Just bought my first piece and chose the Cooker. They are truly great quality and can only appreciate in value, not that I have any intention to sell. If you find a good outlet they may put the whole set aside for you and you can buy one a month or when you can afford it. Can't wait to get my next piece but which one???
Yes, jills - janey mack! Yes, the discussion appeared some time ago, re stamps. You'd have thought there would be someone at the Royal Mail who would pick up on that!
No wonder they are riding round the S bend at the moment... they don't know a good financial opportunity if it disguised itself as a wet kipper and slapped across their porridge muncher!
I might just be able to arrange a copy of that Stamp thread sent to RM inside a wet kipper (suitably [ad]dressed, of course), via.... Royal Mail, First Bass
Tall-Ian, that's wonderful! I'd love to see any of the figurines up close. It must be a tough choice, which next! Have you seen the preview of the A Matter of Loaf and Death figurines? Thrilling stuff! I'd love to stash one in the kitchen, but the way I bake, it'd end up as eggshells
C.O.D would do, too!
(Cash On Delivery - tea hee!)
Hehehe! Yes, a nice bit of Cod Steaks!
JAHomer, the pound has really declined against the dollar lately, so if you are really considering any of these figurines, now would be an ideal time to get the most out of the exchange rate. It's at around $1.37 per GBP now. Gromit is $35 and it goes up to $84 for the musical rocket.
Really cool figures but they are extremely expensive! I will probably only get one. Maybe the cooker!
FYI overseas (non-UK) fans: Robert Harrop is offering free shipping by ordering directly through them. What a lovely offer
Can You Buy Them In Ireland?
pcmac74, phone Robert Harrop and they can tell you
are the toys avabile in U.S?
Cead Mile Failte go agus , pcmac74
(TRANSLATION: One Hundred Thousand Welcomes to and , pcmac74) .
BlooChicken, yes, but not in shops- you have to order them (shipping is free).
I've just smashed open my piggy bank! I ordered the rocket musical box... can't wait to see it
there to much
A preview of the AMOLAD figurines...
i ment to say...... my fav is 59.99 {in england money}
it is the musical rocet ship from w&g "A Grand Day Out".
These are very cool! I've been collecting wallace and gromit stuff for years... does anyone have the model of gromit in a plane for sale? The one you used to be able to buy from Boots? James
Nice, Jimmy P, which do you like best? I really want to see the Wrong Trousers designs.

With President Obama claiming that if our debt limit is not increased by Congress, it may force the government to stop payment of Social Security checks, the public, and in particular those dependent on these monthly checks, are a bit confused about how the Social Security System is financed. The truth is that the government does not have to go out and borrow money in order to pay Social Security recipients. Those payments are covered by present receipts of FICA taxes. So the idea that Social Security payments are dependent on borrowed money is false.
Indeed, over the years these taxes have brought in more revenue than is actually needed to cover present payments of the Social Security System. The federal government spends that surplus and places in the Social Security Trust Fund government bonds at 5.50 percent interest, redeemable when the FICA taxes do not bring in enough money to cover Social Security payments.

Rated 4 out of 5�by J2009 Polar Watch It's a good watch and does the job, I was just disappointed that the GPS option that is advertised with this watch doesn't really work... Or I haven't figured it out and it's been weeks. I think you have to buy an additional service online to be able to use this feature... So that's why I rated itDown. I like the watch I just would have bought the model right below this one in price if I could do it again. June 28, 2013

For most seniors the friendly roads of their youth have changed a lot in the years since they got their drivers licenses.
Depending on the age group, some got their privilege to drive in the days before interstate highways; others cut their driving teeth on freeways, but today find them so crowded in metropolitan areas that they find themselves uncomfortable with being on them.
American highways are busier than ever. Traffic has doubled on most major roads in the last 30 years and is expected only to get heavier as the population of the country grows, both nationally and regionally.
For seniors, the once enjoyable activity of driving can be full of fear and even life threatening.
On Dec. 4-5 the Price Senior Center will be holding driving classes for seniors called the AARP Driver Safety course. It will be taught by Leonard Miller.
The course will run from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. each day.
Miller will teach seniors how to compensate for age related changes that result as people start to lose their reaction time.
He will also do an update for seniors on the rules of the road.
He will also do a section on reducing traffic violations, crashes and the chances of being injured in crashes.
The senior population is the fastest growing segment of the population in the United States. Presently, people over 65 comprised 13 percent of the total population in the last census (2000). There are 19 million drivers over age 70 right now, and by 2025, one in four drivers in the United States will be over 65.
The fact is that with aging, physical and cognitive limitations may impede an older person's ability to drive safely.
But the majority of Americans have not planned to retire from driving, in fact many plan on driving more.
For almost everyone mobility is key to independence and quality of life. Many say that if they couldn't drive they would be lost.
Without support from friends, relatives and organizations, many of these older people who can no longer drive may also lose their ability to live independently in the community.
The senior centers in both Price and East Carbon also announced that they will be closed on Christmas Day and the day after Christmas as well.

PolyArt vs. Hop-Syn
Posted 26 April 2006 - 07:54 PM
printing a bike map (suitable transportation routes, rather than trail
map), and am seeking advice/shared experience on the pros and cons of
PolyArt vs. Hop-Syn.
My map will be 18""x 24"", 3 or 4 colors,
double sided, and I need the paper to be tear-proof and water-proof.
The final folded size (using accordian fold) will be 4""x 9"" (6 folds).
What are opinions on the printing quality of each type of paper?
Are there concerns with folding?
Is it worth spending the extra 20% for PolyArt as opposed to Hop-Syn?
What are recommendations for dealing with a printer who hasn't printed on either synthetic paper?
Thank you! "
Posted 26 April 2006 - 10:48 PM
have had two map sets printed on PolyArt. I have no experience with
Hop-Syn but I do like that it can be recycled, the printer I used said
that PolyArt cannot be recycled and there is a lot of waste with offset
printing. I like the printing quality but the colors do turn out
slightly different than any proof I've seen, just be aware colors are
not as saturated.
PolyArt says their paper is water-resistant. We
soaked it for several hours and it dried nicely with no adverse effect
on the ink, but it does take on water. With enough force PolyArt can be
torn but under normal wear it holds up nicely.
My complaint with
PolyArt is the folding and the wear on the folds. The mechanical
folding machines don't make a nice crisp fold, but hand folding works
ok, I think it is the amount of pressure, but when you have several
hundred or several thousand printed hand folding is out of the
question. The fold I would say are pretty permanent. My biggest
complaint with the folding is over time and wear the inks don't hold up
on the folds, not cool, but it is better than a paper map.
looking for a printer make sure they use the right inks, not the same
at with paper, they are permanent inks. Also at press check keep an
eye, and mention to the operator, the registration. Since it is plastic
it likes to stick to each other but also likes to move in the press
static I believe is the cause. If at all possible try to find a printer
that has experience with synthetic paper, you will be much happier with
the end result. You may also want to look into Yupo paper, it was my
second choose, the printer liked PolyArt better, but I will seriously
consider Yupo next time.

would suggest that whatever paper you choose (I've been happy with
Polyart - but it doesn't hold color as good as paper) have the printer
contact the paper manufacturer for specs on inks, drying time,
coatings, etc.
Like Jason mentioned, there are also some
adjustments that can be made at the bindery with respect to folding. I
did an 8-panel tri-fold [url="http://"http://www.metro-region.org/article.cfm?articleid=218"]bike map[/url]
on PolyArt and after looking at the bindery-proof, the folding pressure
was increased b/c the initial folds poofed-out a little bit near the
crease and the map didn't quite have the right mechandising appeal.
What are recommendations for dealing with a printer who hasn't printed on either synthetic paper?
I would either find another printer who does have experience or be
prepared to spend a lot of time proofing at the press and bindery.
Posted 27 April 2006 - 10:57 AM
you contact the local Poly Art distributor they will be able to
recommend printers in your area that have worked with their product and
probably printers with experience printing maps on it.
Posted 01 September 2006 - 03:16 PM
Due to the fact that polyart is not very stiff, the folded map (on display in a rack) slumps over forward and doesn't look very appealing from a merchandising perspective. Has anyone noticed that with other maps/paper?
Posted 04 September 2006 - 08:31 AM
PolyArt is tough stuff, it is very difficult to tear in any direction, whereas HopSyn will tear in one direction, but you have to go out of your way to do so. Both are effectively waterproof - they may hold a little moisture, but they work fine in the field, and will dry out. Both have a nice appearance, almost a semi-matte finish. HopSyn is priced a little bit less, I've never worked with Yupo.
In any case do not trust a printer who doen't have experience with synthetics.

This is crucial...and not just with the printing part, folding synthetic stock is alot more difficult...
Posted 05 September 2006 - 10:59 PM
It is also I believe the most expensive option. There is a smooth version of tyvek which I have seen used once (envelopes for the Bloomberg Financial empire), which is lovely and uttely tearproof, but very very dear.
PolyArt, HopSyn, Yupo and Tyvex are the major synthetic papers. Tyvex is rarely anymore used due to its rough texture.
PolyArt does tend to slump over in the vertical sales racks - if you have merchandising displays that are on an angle, it will work better. But on vertical displays it can be a real problem. Some feel HopSyn has more 'grain' which allows it to stand up better.

HopSyn is priced a little bit less, I've never worked with Yupo.
Re folds: consider a side or "book" fold as the final fold. Even with crisp uncoated paper, this can be a problem, and we've reluctantly gone to mostly using side folds (I like the functional simplicity of accordion-and-flop, but it does tend to look like limp lettuse on the rack). Also consider a heavier weight of paper. We've found especially with synthetics this can make a big difference in rack presentation.
HopSyn has a clay surface, so it absorbs some of the ink into the substrate. This means you cannot scratch the ink off the surface, as you can with PolyArt or Yupo. We have printed with all three (but never Tyvek) and ditto Mike's earlier about going with a printer who knows how to work with your paper. Even working with someone who has limited experience with synthetics can be perilous. I'd say either ask the paper company rep for references (at least some paper companies will provide), or look at other people's projects that came out well and follow that lead.
And add an extra few days to your printing schedule to account for drying time between print sides, bindery mixups, etc etc...

Try FiberStone® paper made from natural stone. It's waterproof, water-proof, grease proof, tear resistant and tree-free!
HopSyn has an advantage over Polyart in the foldability of the substate as well as better ink adhesion. You won't see the ink coming off in the folds like you do when printing on Polyart because the ink anchors into the substrate. You can fold HopSyn without scoring, which makes it easier to work with.
Posted 20 January 2010 - 01:25 PM
Also, I didn't see mention of Teslin along with Yupo, Hop-Syn, Tyvek, or Polyart...
What's your favorite water-resistant, tearproof, recyclable substrate to press ink into?

Are any of these avaialble for laser printing? I have a few recreation maps that I've done and would like to demonstrate them on water proof paper without the cost of of offset printing.
I would think that a laser printer would melt the plastic. Could you not use an ink jet?

FORT DRUM Months after the deaths, no conclusions have been made by military investigators about three separate cases on post, involving a 4-year-old boy and two soldiers.
In an email Wednesday to the Times, Christopher P. Grey, spokesman for the Army Criminal Investigation Command, Quantico, Va., said the investigations still were open and ongoing.
The unnamed 4-year-old died Dec. 10 at Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown, after being taken by ambulance to the hospital from an on-post residence. The name of the boy has not been released, with post officials citing privacy concerns for their decision not to make any information available.
The deaths of two soldiers also are being reviewed.
Sgt. Carl E. Brock, a 28-year-old communications transmission systems operator with the 2nd Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, died Dec. 17 at an on-post residence run by Fort Drum Mountain Community Homes. Sgt. Brock was from Claremore, Okla.
Few details have been released in connection with the death of Pfc. Michael A. Gorman, who was found dead in his barracks room Feb. 5.
In previous emails with the Times, Mr. Grey has said the commands policy is to not discuss publicly specific elements of investigations until they are complete and, if necessary, after any connected legal proceedings.

OGDENSBURG - Danny M. St. Pierre and his wife, Kathryn S., are hoping to inspire others to join a trend of creating high-end housing in Ogdensburg.
The couple hopes they have started that trend by converting a 22-stall horse barn to three luxury townhouses. They call the development The Barn.
Located just two miles outside of Ogdensburg at 6295 Route 812, the barn was originally built in 1961. It passed through two sets of hands before reaching the Erdman family.
Mr. St. Pierre said he never imagined he would become a landlord, but when an opportunity came along to purchase the old horse barn he used to play in as a little boy, he became inspired by the space.
It was the building that drove me, he said. Renting was really a byproduct of wanting to restore the barn.
Mr. St. Pierre said he fondly remembers his neighbors, the Erdmans. The barn was previously owned by Roberta M. Bobbe Huntress Erdman, a horsewoman, musician, entrepreneur and teacher. Driving her horse, Seymour J, she set the womens world record time for a trotter. She was featured on the Pat on the Back page of Sports Illustrated and appeared on the TV program, To Tell the Truth.
He recalls playing in the hay loft above the barn and watching the horses.
I used to look out a big window in the barn and see my house, he said. Its a great feeling to see it now fully restored.
Saving the 22-stall horse barn and converting it into three townhouses was not without its challenges. The couple has been working on refurbishing the 120-foot long and 30-foot wide barn since May. The structure was rotting, and a family of raccoons had taken residence in the hay loft.
They started pulling back boards and saw that it was worse than they thought, Mr. St. Pierre said. Many people thought I was crazy to restore it.
But much of the barns basic structure and its ceiling was spared.
We kept the original ceiling and added micro-laminate beams, Mr. St. Pierre said. We tried to keep very close to the barn theme, with lots of exposed wood, but there are some modern elements, too. We went ridiculous with the modern stuff – the sinks, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and flooring - to make it very efficient.
Each townhouse has its own stainless steel cable staircase to add to the open, airy and well-lit space, Mr. St. Pierre said.
The staircase had to be there, so we wanted to make it so that the light could not be blocked by it, Mr. St. Pierre said. It makes the room larger. We kept most of the original window dimensions to create a lofty feel.
Mr. St. Pierre even combined some old and new elements, such refurbishing the barns old doors into sliding doors for the bathrooms and closets.
A financial planner for Ameriprise, but a farmer at heart, Mr. St. Pierre said he and his family rebuilt most of the barn themselves. For the more difficult work, such as the staircase, he hired local contractors.
It was a family effort, Mr. St. Pierre said. My wife is good with the design, painting and the color scheme elements. I like to tear things down and put them up again. My kids helped while they were off from school.
Mr. and Mrs. St. Pierre said they were largely inspired by the trend of converting barns into housing, and gathered materials ideas, such as the Napa Valley wine barrel kitchen island, from eBay.
We also watch a lot of HGTV, he said with a laugh. We had a lot of building materials for years and the demand. We didnt even have that place done before we had people ask to rent it.
Mr. St. Pierre said he hopes this project will be the birth of a new housing market.
It takes quite a bit of work, effort and time, but I am a farmer and I like to keep busy, Mr. St. Pierre said. Youre either born with it or youre not.

Then Againby Diane Keaton
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Mom loved adages, quotes, slogans. There were always little reminders pasted on the kitchen wall. For example, the word THINK. I found THINK thumbtacked on a bulletin board in her darkroom. I saw it Scotch-taped on a pencil box she'd collaged. I even found a pamphlet titled THINK on her bedside table. Mom liked to THINK.
So begins Diane Keaton's unforgettable memoir about her mother and herself. In it you will meet the woman known to tens of millions as Annie Hall, but you will also meet, and fall in love with, her mother, the loving, complicated, always-thinking Dorothy Hall. To write about herself, Diane realized she had to write about her mother, too, and how their bond came to define both their lives. In a remarkable act of creation, Diane not only reveals herself to us, she also lets us meet in intimate detail her mother. Over the course of her life, Dorothy kept eighty-five journals — literally thousands of pages — in which she wrote about her marriage, her children, and, most probingly, herself. Dorothy also recorded memorable stories about Diane's grandparents. Diane has sorted through these pages to paint an unflinching portrait of her mother — a woman restless with intellectual and creative energy, struggling to find an outlet for her talents — as well as her entire family, recounting a story that spans four generations and nearly a hundred years.
More than the autobiography of a legendary actress, Then Again is a book about a very American family with very American dreams. Diane will remind you of yourself, and her bonds with her family will remind you of your own relationships with those you love the most.
Diane Keaton has starred in some of the most memorable movies of the past forty years, including the Godfather trilogy, Annie Hall, Manhattan, Reds, Baby Boom, The First Wives Club, and Something's Gotta Give. Her many awards include the Golden Globe and the Academy Award. Keaton lives with her daughter and son in Los Angeles.
"A far-reaching, heartbreaking, absolutely lucid book about mothers, daughters, childhood, aging, mortality, joyfulness, love, work and the search for self-knowledge... Between its many glimpses of Ms. Keaton at different ages, its telling of Dorothy's story and its loving portrait of Dexter, Ms. Keaton's teenage daughter, this book manages to present the full spectrum of women's experiences, from babyhood to adolescence, youthful insecurity (and secret bulimia) to liberating adulthood to slow, lingering death. Its power as a collage has been greatly enhanced by tight, punchy editing of the fragments that Ms. Keaton variously writes or excerpts. Some of its stories are universal and painful, yet this book is not mired in melancholy. Instead it's inspiring in its empathy, wisdom and self-knowledge." Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"For anyone looking to join one woman's — albeit a famous woman's — touching and funny journey into the vortex that is the parent-child relationship, Then Again features an especially honest tour guide." USA Today
"This book feels like Diane Keaton. Which means it's lovable." Entertainment Weekly
"A poignant and deeply moving memoir." Huffington Post
"Although peek-behind-the-curtain moments are delicious — Woody Allen! Warren Beatty! Jack Nicholson! — the best parts of the book have nothing to do with Keaton's considerable star power. At its heart, this is a manuscript about a mother and a daughter, with insights and confessions and lessons to which all readers can relate." The Wall Street Journal
"As warm, funny, and self-deprecating as Keaton's onscreen persona... [Then Again] traces a profound dramatic arc: that of a young woman coming into her own as an artist, and of a daughter becoming a mother." Vogue
"Then Again reads like the diary of an ordinary woman who suddenly became a movie star, who doesn't quite believe any of it happened, but it did." Los Angeles Times
"[An] insightful, often poignant memoir." Houston Chronicle

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro's departure next month will leave a divided agency enmeshed in gridlock, observers say.
Schapiro, who plans to step down Dec. 14, is being replaced at least temporarily by Democratic commissioner Elisse Walter while the Obama administration considers who to nominate next. Read about Schapiro's legacy.
That leaves the SEC, already under pressure by lawmakers on Capitol Hill, divided with two Republicans and two Democrats instead of the commission's normal contingent of five members.
"There is a reason the regulatory agencies have an odd number of appointments and why whichever party occupies the White House gets the majority," said Dennis Kelleher, president of advocacy group Better Markets. "Anytime you have four commissioners, two of each party, the risk for gridlock is highest."Read: 10 things the SEC won't tell you.
The split is likely to delay not just implementation of key post-crisis bank reform rules required by the Dodd-Frank Act but also regulations mandated by the JOBS Act to help small companies raise capital.
Finally, the agency is also under pressure to impose limits on high-speed traders in the wake of the so-called "flash-crash" and several market snafus in recent months.
Brian Breheny, a partner at Skadden Arps in Washington, said that measures required by the two statutes that don't have a deadline will be the most likely to be delayed. A key issue: The two Republicans on the commission will have a blocking vote whenever they don't like a measure.
According to Davis Polk, the SEC has as of November only adopted rules for 32 of the 95 regulations they are required to implement by Dodd-Frank.
Breheny said that unless Walter can find one or possibly two Republican votes, it is unlikely she will move forward with a controversial and complex Dodd-Frank requirement to have corporations disclose the ratio of CEO compensation to median employee pay.
Observers contend that other major areas will likely be punted until the SEC has a full panel of commissioners, such as structural changes to the $2.7 trillion money-market fund industry, reforms to credit-rating agencies limiting conflicts and a number of the Dodd-Frank derivatives rules as well as the controversial Volcker Rule to limit speculative trading by big banks.
David Sirignano, partner at Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP in Washington, said that a provision seeking to ease restrictions on entrepreneurs so they can raise capital cheaply known as "crowdfunding" could get bogged down. The provision, which is required by the JOBS Act, hasn't been proposed by the commission.
Barbara Roper, director of the Consumer Federation of America, also noted that Republican commissioners have consistently argued that the agency hasn't conducted an adequate economic analysis of rules, raising the specter of litigation. She added that the situation already has hampered Schapiro in adopting rules even with the backing of two Democrats on the agency. A split 2 to 2 commission will have an even harder time to accomplish anything with that pressure on, she added.
"That has created a whole new challenge for the agency to fulfill," she said.
low-speed trading reforms
Another victim of gridlock will be reforms for high-speed trading firms, in the wake of the "flash crash" in May 2010 and several technology errors and glitches since then, including a software malfunction at Knight Capital Group KCG, +0.75% that led the firm to lose $440 million and almost file for bankruptcy.

The Samsung Behold 2 unlocked GSM cellular phone will be arriving soon. So I thought we could take a look at some of the things that people were saying about this smart phone. As we all know, everyone has their own opinions about every single cell phone that is out there. When you read reviews, you see the things that people love and of course you always see the things that people hate. Overall, it seems that most people are very happy with this phone. It has many of the great features that we have come to expect in the android line.
One of the features of the phone is the 3.2 touch screen. The touchscreen uses AMOLED technology that gives you the ability to be able to see things clearly, with more brightness and it uses less power. While taking a look at some of the customer reviews of this phone, this seems to be one of the things that people like best. The other thing that people seem to really enjoy about this phone is the TouchWiz technology. This enables you to be able to quickly swipe and drag items onto your home screen as well as the quick tapping feature.
The other really neat thing about the phone is the 3-D cube navigation. You can custom designed this to you with some are your favorite multimedia programs and features. You can spin the Cube then tap on whatever feature you want to access to get there quickly. You even have the option of shaking it feel to change, the sides the cube. Some people think this is a little bit too much of a fluff feature, but others think that it is a lot of fun and pretty cool.
Numerous folks feel that the phone is sleek and has an elegant look to it. Many customer reviews certainly agree that with the 5.0 megapixel camera and camcorder that their pictures look much better than other models.

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
Carbon commissioners decided last week to join with the Price River Water Improvement District and interested agencies in obtaining detailed aerial photography of portions of the county.
On July 19, representatives of PRWID requested the partnership of the county in paying for the aerial survey.
The Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center has announced that it plans to conduct an aerial photography survey of all of Utah.
The United States Department of Agriculture and the AGRC have conducted similar aerial surveys previously and made these images available to the public as well as other governmental agencies.
During the survey, the entire state will be surveyed using one-meter telephotography. The images are accurate to one meter.
During the county discussion, Ben Clement, who oversees the county's geographical information system or GIS, demonstrated the quality of the one meter imagery which will come out of the survey.
In addition to the aerial photography of the entire state, local agencies have been given the option of piggybacking more detailed aerial surveys with the statewide survey.
Local agencies can choose to add surveys which will produce one-foot imagery or more detailed imagery.
Clement demonstrated the difference between the one-meter images and the more detailed one-foot images. In the one-meter images, cars and similar-sized objects show up as simple rectangles.
In contrast, objects as big as a car or truck have some detail in the one-foot imagery.
One of the areas where this level of accuracy could be useful is to design and construct a better road through Nine Mile Canyon.
Clement explained that with one-foot imagery, designers could specify how to construct the road almost down to the shovelful of dirt that needs to be moved.
Another type of survey that can be piggybacked on the statewide survey is detailed digital elevation models.
These DEMs provide not only the latitude and longitude as shown on a map, but also show a elevation values for every 10-by-10 meter quadrant. This gives a three-dimensional effect to the date supplied by the survey.
Clement said that the most accurate DEM statistics available in Carbon County are 10 square foot models.
The statistics provide an elevation for every 10 square feet.
One of the options for a piggybacked project is a two square foot model.
A two-square foot model is 25 times more accurate and more detailed than a 10 square foot model.
The more detailed DEMs are part of the reason PRWID is interested in participating in the aerial survey, said Jeff Richins, assistant manager for the water improvement district.
Richens explained that with the elevation models and more detailed aerial photography, the water district could plan the placement of sewer and water lines more accurately.
PRWID is interested in having a survey performed on approximately 130 square miles in Carbon and Emery counties.
The region would extend from just north of Helper to the Miller Creek area and from Gordon Creek to Wellington.
The county planning and zoning office could benefit similarly from the more detailed survey data.
County planning director Dave Levanger told commissioners that he supported piggybacking projects onto the aerial survey.
Levanger suggested exploring the options of including the Nine Mile Canyon corridor and the Scofield area into the survey, as both of the areas have been experiencing increased development.
However, the added benefit to county agencies and the water improvement district comes with a price.
The total cost of the piggy backed projects could range as much as $128,000 or be as low as a few thousand dollars.
The large gap in possible costs is due to questions regarding how large of areas can be grouped together into one project for the aerial surveyor. As the size of a project increases, the cost per square mile decreases.
Sevier and Emery counties have both expressed interest in having portions of their counties surveyed. In order to connect the isolated regions into one larger region, the state could pay for more detailed surveys of the connecting regions. The hope is that by connecting the various projects into one, the state can help lower the cost per square mile surveyed.
If Carbon County were to piggyback surveys on top of the statewide survey, costs would be billed at approximately $200 per square mile. If the county merges with other counties, into one larger project, the price drops to as low as $90 per square foot.
Richens told commissioners that PRWID was prepared to provide $15,000 toward the survey at this time. The county or other agencies would have to come up with funding for the balance.
One possible source for such funding is the Carbon County Recreation and Transportation Special Service District. The district has discussed the possibility of paying for an aerial survey of Nine Mile Canyon in the past.
Using this information, the special service district could accomplish that goal and help collect data which would be useful in addressing future transportation and recreation concerns.
And while there are significant costs to the survey, the prices available by piggybacking are much lower than what they would be if the county did the surveys on their own.
An aerial survey of Nine Mile Canyon, for instance, was estimated at more than $125,000 recently. That region is smaller than the areas considered by the county.
As a result, county officials could see the cost savings if the project were done as part of the statewide survey. Even if Carbon County cannot take advantage of grouping the project with Emery and Sevier counties, a survey which included not only the PRWID region, but added hundreds of square miles in Nine Mile Canyon or Scofield, would cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $100,000, still lower than figures estimated for Nine Mile Canyon alone.
"I think this is going to save is thousands of dollars tomorrow," said County Commissioner Michael Milovich.
The question of whether the county could group the projects together was set to be discussed earlier this week by ACRC representatives and the company performing the survey.
The outcome will determine the actual costs associated with the project.
While the county commission and PRWID representatives agreed to partner in the survey, the overall scope of the survey will need to be determined.
During the meeting, it was unclear if the data provided would be adequate for plans in Nine Mile Canyon. If the agencies can drive costs down, they may pay for a survey of a larger area.
If costs remain at a higher rate, the survey could be limited to only the PRWID district.

POTSDAM The village is looking to cut a deal with the Adirondack Economic Development Corp. as part of its ongoing effort to shut down its own Community Development Corp.
The Potsdam Community Development Corp. provided a way for the village to issue loans to local businesses in an effort to spur economic development. It became difficult to maintain with the passing of 2005s Public Authority Accountability Act, a state law requiring expensive audits for all publicly run corporations, regardless of size. The $2,500 annual audit proved difficult for Potsdams small development corporation, and last year the village board began discussing how to shut down the corporation while still providing loans to businesses.
The Adirondack Economic Development Corp. may provide the answer. The not-for-profit offers loans and training to small businesses across the north country.
The village board will vote Monday on whether to lend the corporation $150,000, which in turn will be lent to Potsdam small businesses.
They have a very active lending program, said Frederick J. Hanss, Potsdam planning and development director. They have the skill and ability to be able to provide the service to the village.
The much larger corporation is also better suited to handle the states reporting requirements.
If the Adirondack Economic Development Corp. begins working with Potsdam, it will provide small business development training in addition to loans. Some of these training programs will be targeted directly at prospective women and minority business owners, a rarity in Potsdam.
Having more women- and minority-owned businesses in the village could make Potsdam more eligible for diversity-minded state grants, according to Mr. Hanss.
Before the recession, the Potsdam Community Development Corp. would typically issue six to eight loans annually. The average loan is $25,000, although this can vary widely depending on need.
Negotiations with the Adirondack Economic Development Corp. have been underway for months, but pending a successful vote Monday, a deal is very close. If it happens, the Potsdam Community Development Corp. will be shuttered for good.
This is one step closer to being able to wind up its business affairs, Mr. Hanss said.
