Firemen battle a stubborn blaze at a home in the 600 West block of northwest Price last Friday morning.
The fire apparently started when the renter of the home put a pan on the stove to cook some eggs and the grease in the pan erupted into flames quickly moved from there up the wall.
Fire fighters were alerted to the incident at about 9 a.m. on April 5 and the first of three units arrived three minutes later. According to Price Fire Chief Kent Boyack, the initial blaze was put out later that morning. But the fire later re-erupted at approximately midnight and also damaged the home next door. Fire fighters were on the scene until 4 a.m. on Saturday battling the second blaze.
Boyack indicated that the home, owned by Richard Rudman, sustained about $30,000 in damage.
No major injuries occurred during the two related incidents, but the occupant of the mobile home sustained minor burns. Later that evening, one of the fire fighters arriving at the scene burned his hand.

Some time ago it was announced that Samsung would release its latest mobile device in the market. Today, it has also been announced that this new mobile will be made available in US through AT&T. If you are planning on getting your hands on the Wave, you will just be in time for the world cup as a new game has been released for the Wave called Kickball AR Juggling. Powered by the Bada operating system, Kickball AR Juggling is the perfect augmented reality game that you need to keep pace with the current World Cup happening in South Africa. In this game, you can make use of the entire display screen to juggle the ball virtually with your legs. All you have to do is to simply point the camera at your feet, start the game and start juggling.
Even if this game is not meant for you, we are sure that you will be able to find something on the Samsung Wave that is suited to your needs. Considering the fact that it is to be fitted with a screen having a 3.3 inch display and a Super AMOLED display, meaning that you can take it out directly in sunlight, you might want to purchase this device. At the same time, there is a screenresolution of around 480 X 800 pixels which is very bright, even under bright lights. The Samsung Wave will be the first mobile phone to run the latest operating system, the Samsung Unlocked (Bada). Through this platform, it will become possible for developers to create and share their own applications. In fact, Samsung predicts that the Bada will eventually convert feature phones into smartphones. Apart from this, the Wave will also include a 3.5mm jack for headsets, a 5 MP camera and the option of expanding storage capacity till 32 GB.

The overwhelming majority of pesticides used on U.S. farms do not show up on our food. And yet,
- 93% of Americans tested by the CDC had metabolites of chlorpyrifos — a nuerotoxic insectide — in their urine. Banned from home use because of its risks to children, chlorpyrifos is part of a family of pesticides (organophosphates) linked to ADHD.
- 99% of Americans tested positive for DDT degradants, even though DDT hasn't been used in the U.S. since 1972. Women who were exposed to DDT as girls are 5 times more likely to develop breast cancer.
How is it that these two pesticides are found in over 90% of Americans? Through the food we eat.
Chlorpyrifos remains one of the most widely used pesticides in U.S. agriculture. DDT is a long-lasting persistent organic pollutant (POP) that bioaccumulates up the food chain, and can be found in most butter and milk. These are but two of the dozens of pesticides found on our food, even after washing.
We want to believe that government agencies are protecting us & our food supply—but they are not. They don't have the right tools for the job.
We all want to believe that government agencies are protecting us and our food supply from chemical contaminants — but they are not. They do not have the regulatory framework to do so. In contrast to Europe's health-protective precautionary approach, U.S. policy treats chemicals as "innocent until proven guilty"— and it can take decades to reach a guilty verdict. And since chemicals are regulated one at a time, our rules fail to account for combined, cumulative or tragically timed effects.1
- Chemical Cocktails :: U.S. EPA sets limits on the maximum amount of each pesticide that can be on each food item, but there's no limit to the number of different pesticides that can be on your food, or the total amount of contamination. Interacting chemicals can have synergistic effects at very low levels — and little research has been done on the impact of such "Chemical Cocktails" on human health.
- Accumulation :: Pesticides can have a cumulative "toxic loading" effect both in the immediate and long term, and each person accumulates and responds to chemicals in a way that is biochemically and biographically unique. From birth, we build up a chemical "body burden" that reflects a combination of childhood and workplace exposures, pesticide residues on food, chemicals in home and personal care products and the quality of air and water in our communities.
- Tragic timing :: What happens to the child who was exposed to a dilute mixture of neurotoxins and endocrine disruptors while still in the womb? She faces increased risks of neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and autism, as well as higher chances for birth defects and a variety of childhood and reproductive cancers.
The good news is that we don't need pesticides to grow our own food, or to feed the world. Organic farmers in the U.S. produced more than $20 billion worth of pesticide-free food in 2007, and at a 20% annual growth rate, organics are the fastest growing agricultural sector. We need a better Farm Bill to support this kind of farming in the U.S., and to make this food affordable for everyone.
What's On My Food?
Q: How much pesticide exposure is too much?
A: Depends on the pesticide. Depends on the person. Depends on the timing and type of exposure.
The question is complicated, so we built a "decoder ring" for your food to help you understand the risks, according to the health issues that are of most concern to you: cancer, developmental and reproductive toxicity, neurotoxity or hormone disruption. Our website WhatsOnMyFood.org links pesticide food residue data from the USDA with toxicological profiles for each chemical, making this information easily searchable. Some examples of what you'll find:
- Azinphos-methyl, a neurotoxic insecticide, was found on almost 2/3 of imported pears.
- 97% of domestic catfish is contaminated with degradants of DDT.
- 48 different pesticides were found on spinach, including 5 known or probable carcinogens.
Kids & Organics
Children's developing brains and bodies make them especially vulnerable to pesticide residues found on food. Pound for pound, they drink 2.5 times more water and eat 3-4 times more food. Studies have found that children with high pesticide exposures in the womb are at increased risk of being born with birth defects. They also face developmental delays and are more likely to suffer from ADHD and autism spectrum disorders.
Within days of switching to organic fruits & vegetables, many pesticides clear from children's bodies.
Fortunately, analysis has shown that within days of switching schoolchildren's diets from conventional to one with organic fruits and vegetables, many pesticide metabolites become undetectable in urine. According to The Organic Center, the most rigorous science tells us that organically grown produce is more nutritious than conventionally grown produce.
Going Deeper :: Justice & Sustainability
No Scrubbing to Safety :: Systemic Pesticides
Unfortunately, washing food (while important) is unlikely to be of much help — before testing, USDA washed & peeled their samples just as you would. And some pesticides, like imidacloprid are "systemic," meaning they are taken up by a plant's roots and distributed throughout the plant, so no amount of washing will remove them. This class of pesticides has been on the rise for the last 15 years, and now represents a new, unstudied and unregulated avenue of risk.
Systemic pesticides play a major role in dietary risk exposure in the U.S. According to one analysis, systemic insectides account for about 60% of dietary risk in domestic crops.
Included in this class of pesticides are genetically engineered crops like Bt corn, which express an endotoxin that is likewise impossible to wash off. The average ear of U.S.-grown corn likely has 3 different systemic insecticides coursing through its tissue. Corn is in many ways the backbone of the U.S. food system as cattlefeed, high-fructose corn syrup, and a variety of other processed food products.
Eating and buying organic is an important way to protect your family's health and to support sound farming close to home. For many, it is also — and in a deeper way — a matter of justice and environmental sustainability for future generations and people and places far away.
Farmworkers, their families, and rural communities carry the heaviest burden of chemically dependant farming systems. Biodiversity, wildlife, water quality, and the stability of our climate also suffer. And it is a fact of life that most people either cannot afford, or cannot access organic food — much as farmworkers cannot choose to work only in pesticide-free fields.
Pesticide residues on food are how most people come to the problem of pesticides — as consumers. In our daily lives, this marketplace choice is how we are asked to think about food. At PAN, we think it is important to respond to these concerns, connect some dots, and then come together to push for deeper, more systemic change.
Because everybody deserves the right to healthy food and a safe workplace.

Midwest Living Review
Not to be confused with the franchised Guesthouse Inn just up the road, Don Hall's Guesthouse Hotel and Conference Center is strictly locally owned and operated. Although the decor could use some updating, room sizes are extremely generous and conveniently include both interior and exterior entrances. The standard $79 single-occupancy rate seems more than fair considering it includes vouchers for breakfast and dinner at the on-site Guesthouse Grill. Jacuzzi rooms and studio suites are available, and Wi-Fi access is offered at no additional charge in each room and throughout the hotel. If you don't mind the constant drone from cars zipping past on nearby I-69, the vast courtyard offers a nice expanse of green space with benches, an outdoor pool and a cute little gazebo. There's also an indoor pool and exercise room where guests can go to burn off some of those complimentary meals. Since the 1940s, local businessman Don Hall has created something of a Fort Wayne empire with a series of popular restaurants bearing his name. The Guesthouse is Hall's only hotel operation. A popular local venue for wedding receptions, parties and other catered events, the Guesthouse includes a conference center, hospitality suites and a ballroom.

AUSTIN-Good. But who knew this good?
Through the 1-3A District and 3A Region I Tennis Tournaments, the Borger Mixed Doubles team of senior Josh Madden and junior Abbie Madden has cruised through the brackets, only losing one set on the way.
With such a good streak, there were hopes for the brother and sister duo to make a good showing at the 3A State Tennis Tournament, but the showing they made on Monday was nothing short of being very impressive in dominating their competition.
While the slow moving tournament in Austin led to a delayed start for the Maddens on Monday afternoon, it didn't take too long for them to earn a shot at the 3A Mixed Doubles State Title on Tuesday by winning their opening and semi-final matches in straight sets.
The Borger pair opened Monday afternoon taking on Dylon Cox and Kaitlyn Green of Kirbyville, with the Maddens' cruising to the win 6-2, 6-3.
In the state semi-finals, the Maddens' squared off with Eli Ramos and Erika Gilbert of La Feria, who needed three sets to win their opening match.
In the semi-finals, the Maddens' had no problems in the first set winning 6-1 and hung on in set two for the 7-5 win.
For a moment, the state final appeared to potentially be a rematch of the District 1-3A title match as the Pampa duo of Aaron Silva and Holly Gage went to the third set in their semi-final match with Laird Beaty and Courtney Johnson of Lindale.
Unfortunately the Borger vs. Pampa rivalry will not have state title implications as Beaty and Johnson won the match, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, to advance to today's final against Abbie and Josh Madden.
According to the UIL website, the state final match between Madden/Madden of Borger vs Beaty/Johnson of Lindale got underway at 9:00 a.m. this morning in Austin.

It all starts with the tobacco user. He or she has to want to quit in order to succeed. But also important is the support of a tobacco user's friends and family members. That's the basis for the Utah Department of Health's (UDOH) new "We Did It" campaign, launching on Oct. 15.
While the highly successful "I Did It" campaign specifically targeted smokers and featured success stories of ex-smokers from across Utah, the "We Did It" campaign will target the tobacco users and their friends, co-workers and families - underscoring the process of quitting smoking as being a communal effort. That message is relayed through all media, which includes TV, radio, billboards and a new Web site, WeDidItStory.com.
"Having social support for a quit attempt makes a person 50 percent more likely to succeed," said Lena Dibble, media coordinator, Tobacco Prevention and Control Program, UDOH. "This is the first time we have tailored our message to non-tobacco users � we're doing so because we know how integral they are to the process of quitting tobacco. We are confident the campaign will be useful to both parties."
All media in the campaign promotes the web site, WeDidItStory.com. While UtahQuitNet.com has already served as a direct resource for tobacco users, WeDidItStory.com educates people close to tobacco users on how best to be supportive through the quitting process. The website offers practical guidance and tips to help loved ones quit, and make homes and businesses smoke free, as well as success stories, and information on tobacco trends in Utah. Tips on the website include informing employees of any cessation benefits available through one's company health plan, planning activities that avoid the temptation to smoke, and approaching leaders of local events or venues (i.e. rodeos, sports parks, fairs) to see if they might consider going smoke-free.
Each of the four 30-second advertisements for TV illustrates a quit tip provided on WeDidItStory.com. One spot, for example, shows a man driving looking agitated, as though he is having a nicotine craving. His daughter in the back seat hands him a stick of gum. The first segment of the commercial is shown from the man's perspective, followed by information about the Utah Tobacco Quit Line. The second half of the spot portrays the scene from the daughter's point of view, followed by a tagline promoting the web site. The dual perspectives are intended to bridge the gap between tobacco users and non-users.
Additionally, four radio spots will present both user and non-user perspectives in monologues. Pairing the quit line and WeDidItStory.com as resources reinforces the concept that sharing responsibility between both users and non-users is the best way to ensure quitting tobacco.
"We hope these resources are used to let tobacco users know that they are not alone in their quit attempts," Dibble said. "Tobacco use affects everyone � that means everyone has a role in making Utah tobacco free."

Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAT) of Blood Donors for HCV and HIV

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will evaluate the accuracy of an experimental test method called nucleic acid amplification technology (NAT) in detecting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). This test amplifies the nucleic acid in a virus more than a million-fold, allowing early detection of minute quantities of virus in the blood.
Blood donors to the National Institutes of Health's Department of Transfusion Medicine (blood bank) will have their blood screened with transcription mediated amplification, a type of NAT test. Donors whose blood is found positive for HIV or HCV by NAT testing will be notified and asked to participate in this study. Those who agree will provide a blood sample about once a week for 3 months. The samples will be tested with additional assays to detect evidence of HIV or HCV infection. If the test results are confirmed positive, no more blood samples will be collected. The results of the tests and their significance will be explained to participants.
It is anticipated that NAT screening will reduce the risk of transfusion-related HIV transmission from the current 1 in 650,000 to 1 in a million and the risk of HCV transmission from the current 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 350,000. It is possible that these tests will completely eliminate the risk of transmitting these diseases through blood transfusion.

|Official Title:
|Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAT) of Blood Donors for HCV and HIV
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|December 1999
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|October 2002
In order to narrow the infectious period (window) between the time of viral exposure and the time a virus can be serologically detected, blood centers throughout the United States are implementing nucleic acid testing (NAT) for HIV and HCV. Early studies have shown that NAT testing can significantly narrow the infectious window, particularly for HCV. There is the potential that NAT testing could completely eradicate the transfusion risk of HIV and HCV. The test is thus likely to add substantially to the safety of blood transfusions and, although not licensed, has been implemented by all blood suppliers and transfusion services in the United States. NAT testing is currently being used under an IND mechanism. The IND stipulates that blood donors need to be informed through a supplemental information packet that such testing is being performed and that if found positive they may be recalled for additional testing. At the time of recall, an IRB approved study-specific informed consent is administered and additional tests are performed to verify the initial NAT result. The Department of Transfusion medicine is participating in this national validation of NAT testing and will provide donor samples for centralized testing and statistical reporting to FDA. The potential benefits of this testing for blood safety are great and the risk to donors is considered minimal. Not seeking subjects for enrollment.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
All eligible, volunteer NIH blood donors will be tested by NAT. Thus, any donor who enters the system and has blood drawn for viral testing will be a potential candidate for the follow-up study if he/she tests NAT positive for HCV or HIV.
Only potential donors who exclude themselves from the donation process will be excluded from the study.

Preventative care and aggressive follow-up treatment may not be the only things one needs to combat maladies like heart disease and cancer. Optimism could also be critical for recovery and general well-being. This week the BBC highlighted a study in which optimistic women had lower risks of suffering from heart disease and death over an eight year period (Tindle & Steinbaum, 2009). While this study links optimism and longevity, positive outlook is also associated with better health (Kamen & Seligman, 1987), greater achievement (Seligman, Nolen-Hoeksema, Thornton, and Thornton, 1990), persistence in achieving high-priority goals (Geers, Wellman, & Lassiter, 2009), lower levels of stress (Crosno, Rinaldo, Black, & Kelley (2009), and better emotional health (Matthews & Cook, 2008). What is it about optimism that provides such a wide variety of positive health and psychological outcomes? It could be that optimists are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors and take better care of themselves. However, the research above suggests that above and beyond lifestyle differences the distinct outcomes associated with optimism could be attributed to optimists ability to recover from adversity better, view negative events as isolated and specific, as well as anticipate and respond proactively to stressors.

While it is always our pleasure to procure the answers to your most pressing wardrobe inquiries, this week we were particularly happy to see that you, dear readers, seemed to gravitate towards some decidedly eye-catching patterns. Whether it was Leighton Meester's colorful ikat chemise or Kristen Bell's geometric trapeze top, the pieces that piqued your interest seem perfectly suited to the spring season that is currently upon us. Needless to say, we were beyond thrilled to track down the answers to your clothing quandaries and present the solutions in today's installment of What Was She Wearing: Answers.Chanel Iman
The fresh-faced Chanel Iman is a veteran when it comes to looking flawless-no matter if she's on the job or off duty. Spotted at the New York premiere of Obsessed, Iman wore a vintage frock with a D&G leather biker jacket and Ermanno Scervino knee-high boots. Her dress may be one-of-a-kind, but we like 6 Degree's Folk Floral Dress ($30), which reflects her selection's floral-and-graphic print, sheer fabric, and dropped-waist shape. Pair it with a fitted bomber, like Silence and Noise's Quilted Bomber ($128), or style it with sandals for a warm-weather-appropriate ensemble. Iman also artfully accessorized her look with a vintage cuff-we suggest bebe's Exotic Bangle Set ($44) and Axcess' Beaded Flex Bracelet ($11)-proving that she is a master of the high-low mix!
Leighton Meester
Risky though it may seem, a colorful pattern can look smashing with brightly hued separates: if styled correctly, of course. Leighton Meester recently validated this rule, when she was spotted en route to the Jimmy Fallon Show wearing a fluorescent-print Matthew Williamson blouse tucked into the designer's turquoise tulip skirt. The effect is playful, jubilant, and completely spot-on for a spring day in the city. To finish off the look Meester opted for Proenza Schouler's PS1 Bag ($1595), which helped the Gossip Girl get a perfectly polished result. Sadly, neither her top nor skirt are available, but we like Matthew Williamson's Ambroise Print Silk Top ($1100) or Diane Von Furstenberg's Garden Print Top ($198) just as much. Try either of these picks with Topshop's Ruch Waist Mini Skirt ($36) to replicate Meester's look, or pair the top with tattered jeans or shorts during the spring and summer months to get maximum mileage out of these investment pieces. You can also swap the Proenza Schouler satchel for a Dark Matter by Knox's Messenger Bag ($168) for a structural, yet more budget-friendly alternative.
Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani consistently proves that there isn't a style that she can't pull off! Fancy shorts have the potential to go very wrong, but Stefani demonstrated how to wear the look correctly at an early birthday party for Kate Hudson. Stefani mixed a plaid pair of Vivienne Westwood shorts with YSL peep toe shoes and a Maison Martin Margiela tuxedo jacket, resulting in a fashion-forward, festive outfit. For those of us who aren't inclined to shell out for those marquee names, we suggest opting for ASOS' Linen Blazer ($58) and 3.1 Phillip Lim's Rolled-Cuff Harem Shorts ($295) to get an equally edgy look. Of course, no Stefani evening-ensemble would be complete without a dazzling design from the rocker's own line, like the L.A.M.B. Andhra Bala Clutch ($195).
Kristen Bell
As the temperature rises, we have been noticing variations on this winter's rolled-up boyfriend jean trend. Per Kristen Bell, it appears that traditional khakis are the next bottoms to get the pegged-and-cuffed treatment! Seen here at the launch of Armani Exchange's watch collection, Bell wore a preppy pair of Golden Goose's Boyfriend Trousers ($398) with 3.1 Phillip Lim's Ruffle Hem Tank ($350) and an of-the-moment peep-toed bootie, like Opening Ceremony's Lace Up Open Toe Ankle Booties ($390). Try Style Portfolio's Harem Pants ($98) or J. Crew's Broken-In Boyfriend Chinos ($70) with Splendid's Ocelot Print Tank ($61). Don't forget to add a statement necklace, like Rosena Sammi's Goa Nights Necklace ($189), and you'll have a gold-standard ensemble in the spirit of Bell's selection!

Victim identification
What is it?
Victim Identification is the term often given to the analysis of photographs and films depicting the sexual abuse of a child – known as child abuse material (CAM) – with the objective of locating the child and/or abuser seen in them.
Victim identification is a combination of image analysis and traditional investigative methods.
Image analysis is the examination of the digital, visual and audio content of those photographs and films for identification purposes. Clues can come from many places and in many forms, and it is the task of the victim identification specialist to retrieve those clues and piece them together using a range of specialized tools.
The results of this analysis of the virtual world will be crucial to the investigation that can then take place in the physical world.
Who does it?
Some or all of the acts of production, distribution and possession of child abuse material are illegal in many countries. As a result, authorization to gather and investigate it is restricted to law enforcement or government accredited organizations.
Often, sworn law enforcement officers and authorized civilian analysts work together in the field of victim identification, bringing together their diverse skills and experience to solve a case.
Due to the global nature of the Internet and its content, victim identification specialists work closely with their counterparts all over the world to ensure that clues that are unique, typical or easily recognizable in one country are not overlooked by another country.
Why do we do it?
Child sexual abuse is a reality in every society but one that is rarely spoken about and is largely invisible due to the social taboos surrounding it. The vast majority of child sexual abuse is not documented, mostly taking place behind closed doors in private settings such as the home.
Contrary to common conceptions of the crime and its perpetrators, the abuser is most often a person known to the child, such as a parent, uncle, neighbour or childcare professional.
When a person sexually abuses a child and documents the act of abuse for future sexual gratification or for sharing and trading with others via email and Internet, what is really being documented is evidence of a serious crime that it is the obligation of the police to investigate.
Photographs and films depicting child sexual abuse found on the Internet are not merely an online crime affecting virtual victims; they are representations of a real crime involving real people and real suffering.
Victim identification is a methodology that has emerged in recent decades out of a clear need to act upon child abuse material found circulating online and seized by the police from computers and other storage devices. Child Abuse Material is more likely to show the face of the victims of abuse rather than the abuser. This is a reality that dictates the victim-centric focus of image analysts.
Victim identification by specialized investigators aims to alleviate the suffering of the child by identifying and locating him or her, and to bring that child's abuser to justice.
International Child Sexual Exploitation image database
Managed by INTERPOL, the International Child Sexual Exploitation image database (ICSE DB) is a powerful intelligence and investigative tool which allows specialized investigators to share data with colleagues across the world.
Available through INTERPOL's secure global police communications system (known as I-247), the ICSE DB uses sophisticated image comparison software to make connections between victims, abusers and places.
Backed by the G8 and funded by the European Commission, the ICSE DB was launched in March 2009 as the successor to the INTERPOL Child Abuse Image Database (ICAID) which had been in use since 2001.
The ICSE DB enables certified users in member countries to access the database directly and in real time, thereby providing immediate responses to queries related to child sexual exploitation investigations.
In September 2012 a new version of the database was released providing investigators with the latest technology and extensively expanding the database's features.
The development of the new version was made possible through the financial support of the European Commission. This funding also enabled INTERPOL to carry out training sessions in several member countries and to connect them to the database. Police forces in close to 40 countries are currently connected to the ICSE database and cooperating in the identification of child sexual exploitation victims and their abusers.
By December 2014, the ICSE DB included data on more than 5,600 identified victims from more than 40 countries, as well as data related to numerous unidentified victims, whose cases are yet to be investigated.
INTERPOL has recently launched a project for the development of the next generation database, once again, under the financial support of the European Commission. The new database, to be launched in 2015, will include video analysis tools as well as cutting-edge technology aimed at increasing the identification of victims depicted in child sexual exploitation images and videos.
The constant changes in offending patterns and in the nature of the material produced and distributed by the offenders, calls for new and innovative law enforcement investigative tools. This new project aims to provide police forces with such a tool to enhance their response in this crime area.
Three police forces are partners in this development project: the Dutch National Police, the Belgian Federal Police, and the Icelandic Reykjavik Metropolitan Police. The fourth partner in the project is Videntifier Technologies, a research and development company specializing in video analysis and database technologies."

GRAND LARCENY - MASSENA - Village police charged Edward J. Slade, 21, of 446 state Route 131, Massena, with fourth-degree grand larceny Saturday night following an investigation into an incident that took place earlier in the day.
Police allege Slade had entered the James Pratt residence at 103 North Main St. at approximately 8:30 a.m. and stolen $3,000.
Slade was arraigned by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $5,000 cash or $10,000.
Mr. Pratt, in a statement he provided police, said Slade knocked on his door and asked to use his bathroom. Mr. Pratt said has known Slade for seven or eight years and the two men had socialized together in the past.
He said Slade entered his residence and used the bathroom. When he got done, I went into the bathroom. I had left $3,000 on the table in the kitchen. I had it out counting it. When I came out of the bathroom, he was running out of the apartment. He had my money in his hand, Mr. Pratt told police.
The Massena man told police he had chased Slade toward the community center, and he lost him as Slade was running around the community center.
The money was $2,900 in $20 bills and two $50 bills. This was my money I was saving to buy a car, he added.
Mr. Pratt had initiated the investigation into the larceny Saturday night when he was being arraigned in Massena court on criminal mischief and criminal trespass counts after he allegedly damaged a door at 69 Beach St. when he went looking for Slade and the money.
Slade was jailed for four days before being released the supervision of the probation department last month after he charged with stealing checks from an acquaintance.
Slade allegedly stole checks from James Baker, forged his name on the checks and cashed them at On A Roll Deli on May 11 and 12. The first check on May 11 was for $135. He cashed checks for $120, $75 and $130 on May 12. Slade told police he was behind on his bills and was being pressured to pay off his debt.

There may come a time when you need some cash. And we're not talking about pocket change, but something more substantial. Maybe a series of crises caused you to run through your emergency fund or at tax time you're faced with writing a big check instead of getting one back. You also may have seen the equity in your home evaporate or had your credit card limits frozen or lowered.
It's not a matter of if the financial emergency will occur, but when. Prepare for the inevitable by socking away some funds every week.
Although this is sometimes easier said than done, you should make it a priority in your personal financial plan. We recommend your emergency fund contain three to six months of your committed expenses and that it be housed in a safe place such as a savings or money market account. Why? Because you never know when you might need it and return of principal is more important than return on principal.
If you've exhausted most of your options to drum up some dough, it could be time to explore the world of personal loans. No, I'm not talking about hitting up friends or family when faced with a financial tight spot. The personal loans I'm referring to are offered by banks, credit unions or even credit card companies.
Similar to a credit card, this type of loan is normally unsecured. So, unlike a home or auto loan, there is no collateral. The lender is making the loan based solely on his or her belief that you'll live up to your end of the deal and not leave them out in the cold. For that reason, you may hear this type of loan referred to as a signature loan. A signature is all it takes. Of course, that's not really the whole truth. Your credit score and history, along with other criteria, will determine if you can get a personal loan and at what interest rate.
As far as interest rates go, this type of loan will normally fall somewhere in between secured loans, like a car loan or mortgage, and those dangerously high double-digit rates sometimes found with credit cards, retail store cards or credit card cash advances.
While there's no collateral, the repayment terms of a personal loan will more closely resemble those of an auto loan. Typically, you'll have a set repayment period of four or five years and a fixed interest rate. For example, a four-year $15,000 loan at 12 percent would require 48 payments of $395. There's no flexibility on this front, the payment is what it is. While a fixed payment schedule might seem daunting, it also can provide some certainty when it comes to budgeting or a debt elimination plan. With this type of loan, the terms and loan amount are set and fixed from the start.
Now that you know how personal loans work, you may be wondering when it makes sense to use one. Here are a couple of ideas:
Personal loans are a fairly simple and straightforward way to borrow, and you can use the money any way you like with no strings attached.

The venue for a Watertown womans unlawful imprisonment lawsuit against the Lake Placid Police Department has been changed for a third time.
Taryn M. Stanfa filed state Supreme Court action in Jefferson County in July against the village of Lake Placid, its police department, Officers James D. Staats and Matthew J. Braunius and Chief William P. Moore, claiming she was detained Jan. 21, 2012, by the two officers without probable cause. The suit seeks $1 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages.
The village had the matter remanded to U.S. District Court in October, a move that Miss Stanfas attorney, Matthew D. Norfolk, Lake Placid, opposed, arguing that no constitutional or federal issues arose in the suit. In mid-November, Miss Stanfa voluntarily discontinued her federal action and the suit was returned to Supreme Court in Jefferson County.
The village then filed a motion to have the matter transferred to Supreme Court in Essex County, maintaining that most of the witnesses live in that county, making it a more convenient and cost-effective venue. The village also argued that under state law, any lawsuit against a village must be heard within the county in which it is located. Mr. Norfolk countered that several witnesses he intends to call on Miss Stanfas behalf live in Jefferson County, making that the more convenient venue.
In a decision filed Wednesday at the Jefferson County clerks office, Supreme Court Judge James P. McClusky sided with the village, agreeing to transfer the case to Essex County.
The judge made no decision on a separate motion filed by the village to have the case dismissed, leaving that to Supreme Court in Essex County.
According to her complaint, Miss Stanfa went to the Hannaford grocery store on the outskirts of Lake Placid about 5 a.m. Jan. 21, when the store was closed. She maintains that she was committing no crime, yet was detained by the officers without probable cause, and that her drivers license and car and home keys were confiscated, leaving her unable to leave the area. She also was questioned about any drugs she may have taken. She also claims her vehicle was unlawfully searched without a warrant and without cause.
She further alleges that Mr. Staats pushed her against her vehicle and violently pushed her to her knees with excessive and brute force, and then pushed her to the ground with his knee in her back. The officer then allegedly violently bent, twisted or pulled her arms to place her in handcuffs.
After allegedly pulling Miss Stanfa from the ground by the handcuffs, she claims, the officer threatened to arrest her for assault of an officer and driving while intoxicated. Despite her request take a breath test to determine the presence of alcohol in her system, she claims Mr. Staats refused to administer one. After she had been held in the back of the patrol car for about 45 minutes, Mr. Braunius took the cuffs off her and allegedly apologized for his partners actions. It is claimed that while the cuffs were being removed, Mr. Staats threatened to pull Miss Stanfas car over if he ever saw her driving in the village again. She was not charged with any crime.
In asking that the action be dismissed, the village maintains that Miss Stanfa was intoxicated and that she became belligerent with police. The village denies that its officers mistreated Miss Stanfa or did anything outside the scope of their official police duties.

I would suggest that, after whatever organs are viable for transplant, you should leave your body to science. Find out where your local teaching hospital / medical school is and contact them. They always need more cadavers than they can get. If it became the norm for Pastafarians to leave their bodies to the advancement of medical science, we would get thousands of converts from the medical profession.
If you like, you could get your body delivered to the hospital by a bunch of grogged-up pirates in full regalia. I have had the misfortune to meet more than a couple of medical students in my time, and that sort of behaviour would not turn too many heads with them. If someone tries to stop you, it is an infringement of your religious freedom (if Jehova's Witnesses can legally kill their children by refusing blood transfusions, then who could possibly object to a bunch of pissed-up pirates walking around carrying a dead body?).

FORT DRUM The 10th Mountain Division may receive Gray Eagle drones along with a new company of soldiers to operate them.
The news of the potential dispersal of MQ-1C Gray Eagle drones and companies to divisions across the Army was first reported Sunday by Army Times.
However, an Army spokesman said by email Tuesday afternoon that the service was still looking at its options to place the aircraft, and that a final decision about implementation had not been made.
The Army Times report said that the Gray Eagle companies, with 128 soldiers, would be placed with every active duty division along with a few separate units. The report said the Army has been authorized $500 million to field the aircraft, and $107 million to create buildings to house them for the first five installations that field them. It also said the Army had plans to field two or three companies per year until fiscal year 2018.
The 3,600-pound Gray Eagle aircraft, equipped with up to four Hellfire missiles, has been used for a variety of missions including surveillance, convoy protection and air support.
If such a placement were to happen, it would be in addition to unmanned aircraft already operating on post or being discussed.
For about a year, Fort Drum has housed the MQ-9 Reaper used by the New York Air National Guards 174th Attack Wing, Syracuse. In December, the unit was able to switch to using live munitions on the posts ranges, dropping 500-pound GBU-12 Paveway II laser-guided bombs from the 10,500-pound aircraft.
The post also has been pitched as one of six possible sites for testing new drones. However, the selection process for the testing has been delayed several months by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The use of drones received increased scrutiny Tuesday since the release by NBC News of the Department of Justices legal reasoning for the aircrafts use on American citizens affiliated with al-Qaida or other similar groups.

For reasons unbeknownst to man, Hollywood is keen to make another Tekken flick. Crystal Sky, one of the production companies on the first film, is planning a prequel that's "part of a franchise of movies".
No details are yet known other than the prequel's title, Tekken: Rise of the Tournament, which makes it sound like the film will follow the creation of the Iron Fist Tournament.
The first Tekken film got its premier in Singapore. The movie was so bad that its release was straight-to-DVD in the U.S. Tekken game producer Harada called the movie "terrible". Yep! That sounds about right.

Eosinophils are a type of white blood cells whose natural role is to defend the body against parasites. But they also accumulate wherever allergic reactions take place, including allergic asthma.
Blood is a mixture of liquid plasma and tiny blood cells, pumped round the body by the heart, through the arteries, capillaries and veins. The plasma contains nutrients and waste products, on their way to and from all parts of the body, and contains hormones and chemicals for the defense of the body, particularly those needed for blood clotting when we are injured and those which help us to destroy bacteria and viruses when we are infected.
Most of the cells are red blood cells which carry oxygen from our lungs to all parts of the body. Others are white blood cells which defend us against invasion by bacteria, viruses and other particles which get into our bodies. Eosinophils can amount to nearly 3 percent of the white blood cells in the body.
There are different kinds of white blood cells, each with its own role. When the body recognizes invasion by foreign bacteria, viruses or substances, white blood cells move from the blood to the place where the invasion occurred, and play their role in destroying or expelling the invader or substance. At the same time our bone marrow starts to make far more of the white blood cells, so their numbers in our blood increases.
The kinds of white blood cell are:
Over the years, researchers have discovered that eosinophils play a pivotal role in immune development and asthma. Asthma and allergic disease occur when the immune system improperly responds to harmless environmental substances such as pollen or mold. Common allergic reactions include eczema, hives, hay fever, asthma, food allergies, and reactions to the venom of stinging insects such as wasps and bees.
Studies examining patients with mild asthma have shown that airway inflammation due to eosinophils is a typical characteristic, and, in fact, eosinophilic airway inflammation appears to be closely related to the risk of severe asthma exacerbations.
Researchers are always looking for novel approaches to asthma care and one approach is to develop therapies that help reduce eosinophils in asthma patients. Clinical trials are currently underway to assess the effectiveness and safety of new treatments that affect eosinophils in patients with poorly controlled asthma. Results are not complete, but progress is encouraging since this new therapy has helped to significantly reduce eosinophils, improve airway function, and provide greater asthma control to patients in the trials.

Landowners still have time to sign up for the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) administered by the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
According to NRCS State Conservationist Sylvia Gillen, now is the time for producers and landowners who have considered applying for 2010 CSP funding to sign up at their local NRCS field offices. USDA recently announced June 11, 2010 as the national cutoff date, which will require potential applicants to submit applications quickly.
CSP is a voluntary program that encourages producers to maintain existing conservation activities and adopt new ones on their farm, ranch, and non-industrial forestland operations. "We've had good interest in CSP last year and this year but we did not reach all the producers this program was designed to reach. I'd like to change that this year, but the clock is ticking," explains Gillen.
According to Gillen, the sign-up process is more streamlined than its predecessor, the Conservation Security Program. "The conservation options available through CSP will make sense to our Utah producers," Gillen said.
Producers and farm families who have maintained a conservation legacy on their farm over the years or those who have changed the operation over the last few years to include more eco-friendly management strategies, are rewarded through CSP. CSP pays you to maintain those successful practices AND it helps you add even more solutions that protect soil, water, and related natural resources on your land.
"I know Utah has more landowners and producers who are committed to conservation because I see evidence of it on the land every day," Gillen says. "If you are one of those stewards of the land and you think it might be time to partner with NRCS to do even more of the right thing, I urge you to visit with your local NRCS staff and tell them all you've done. This program was designed to encourage more conservation activity and recognize good stewards and ranchers just like you."
To learn more and get involved with the program for 2010, visit your county USDA Service Center today. Visit www.nrcs.usda.gov.

Taliban forces are reportedly taking credit for the assassination of Ahmad Wali Karzai, Afghan President Hamid Karzai's half-brother, who was shot in the head by the long-time chief of his own security detail on July 12.
Police are still investigating and said an internal dispute, not politics, could have been the motive. The BBC suggested rival criminals could have been to blame. But the Taliban resistance sent a message to Al Jazeera boasting of their role in the murder and warning all government officials to resign or be killed - anywhere at any time.
Ahmad was an extraordinarily influential figure in Afghan politics, especially in the volatile Southern region.

Dr. Barry P. Cook and his wife, Julee, and Dr. Steven Tuttle and his wife, Jane, and son, Jordon, have returned from another Volunteer Optometric Service to Humanity project.
The project was held in an LDS meeting house in Georgetown, Guyana. Georgetown is the capital city of Guyana, located on the northern side of South America directly east of Venezuela.
The group consisted of five optometric physicians from Utah, as well as spouses, children and other volunteers. The group also worked with LDS missionaries who are serving in Guyana. The missionaries provided transportation as well as help with registration and working with the large crowd of people.
The volunteers thanked the Utah State Lions Foundation for a contribution that helped offset some of the travel expenses. The volunteers paid most of those expenses themselves.
The first day the doctors were transported to a couple of out lying areas away from Georgetown. The doctors examined many students as well as others who did not pass a vision screening. The rest of the volunteers stayed to set up and organize the donated eyewear to be used in the following days.
The four days were extremely busy at the clinic. The doctors were able to examine and provide donated eyewear to 2,000 patients in the poverty-stricken region.
The doctors were able to make referrals to vision care providers in Guyana for additional primary care and for needed medications.
Each day the clinic began with the registration of hundreds of patients. The patients then waited in the chapel for their turn to be examined by one of the doctors. When the examinations were completed, the patients went to the cultural hall and waited for volunteers to pull several options in donated eye wear that could benefit the patient. LDS missionaries and member volunteers were helpful in coordinating the movement and progression of patients through the clinic.
The volunteer group included several pre-med students who acted as scribes and were able to observe ocular pathology first hand. They were able to observe the diagnosis and treatment plans for each patient.
Each full day of clinic came to and end with the batteries of the doctors' instruments totally drained.
"We want to thank the citizens of Carbon and Emergy counties for their eyewear donations helping to make the the project a total success," said Barry Cook. Several Boy Scout Eagle projects were completed as the scouts collected, cleaned, repaird, neutralized labeled and organized the donated eyewear.
The volunteers anticipate a similar humanitarian project in Peru in about two years.

Free Throw Woahs
The #knicks are 17th in defensive rating and 19th in the league in FTs. One is WAY more egregious than the other…
— Tommy Dee (@TommyDeeTKB) December 29, 2012
Tommy DeeThis is has been an issue all year and what's more is the fact that they aren't getting to the line. When Amar'e and Shumpert return they have to put particular attention on driving to the basket and thus creating more FT opportunities.
This could very well be the downfall of this team come playoff time.
