Approaches to Teaching Dickens's

"This splendid volume of essays does more to highlight Dickens's dazzling achievement in
Bleak House
than any critical intervention I have encountered. I found practices that will translate into my own teaching regardless of differences in context."
Carolyn Dever, Vanderbilt University
"Offers a wide range of creative, practical, and inviting strategies for teaching Dickens's behemoth."
Dickens Quarterly
A central text both in Dickens's career and in the history of the novel itself,
Bleak House
provides students and teachers occasion to discuss Victorian social concerns involving law, crime, family, education, and money and to learn about every stratum of English society, from the aristocracy to the homeless. But the sheer size of the novel and its narrative intricacy pose pedagogical obstacles. The essays in this volume offer instructors an array of practical strategies for use in the classroom: some describe courses organized exclusively around
Bleak House
; others offer ideas for teaching a single scene or topic in the novel.
Part 1, "Materials," assesses editions and provides a guide to the wealth of resources available to instructors, including reference works, critical studies, and background readings, in print and on the Web. The essays in part 2, "Approaches," discuss nineteenth-century British culture and Victorian social texts; present ways to teach specific scenes, patterns, and problems in the novel; describe intertextual approaches; and detail specific courses taught in different settings and at a variety of educational levels.

We are served at Petrino's Cafe on Main Street in North Adams on Friday while Mark Petrino takes an order. Everybody wears a shirt with the cafe's basil leaf logo.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Petrino's Cafe has been operating for a week now and owner Mark Petrino says things have been going well.
We finally got a chance to try it today and really liked the new decor and interior setup. Mark made good on his promise to move the deli case so that it's immediately visible when you walk in the door. It's also easier to get to the counter because the tables have been rearranged in a much better pattern.
The Cup & Saucer was like walking into a classroom — all the tables lined up like a regiment, making things a little too cozy if you wanted a private conversation. If you were waiting for takeout, you were always standing next to someone's table.
The new layout gets you out of people's way while you're waiting; plus, you can see the (cold) sandwiches right in the deli case. The interior's a lot brighter and the couch in the front has been moved to the back. Tables have replaced it in the window, which makes a lot more sense from a business standpoint. Why would you want potential customers to see people lounging with coffee when the money's in the food?
The tables and chairs are nicer, too. No more old schoolroom furniture.
We talked to couple regulars of the old cafe who were trying the new cafe for the first time. Their impressions were very positive, although Joe Manning says ditch the big TVs. Not good for conversation, he says, plus it feels like you're staring at the diners below — or being stared at if it's your table that's below.
We tried the Cousin Mary, a chicken breast with spinach, provolone and avocado in a whole-wheat wrap with a hint of chipotle sauce. Pretty good but for healthy eating, we'd like something other than chips on the side.
The cafe's offering a variety of wraps and sandwiches with fresh meats and vegetarian choices, burgers, steaks and salads. Breakfast is served until 11 a.m. with burritos, omelets and specials. On our list to try is the banana-stuffed ciabatta French toast with a meat side.
We've also been told the hours may change from 6 to 2 to 7 to 3 because more people are coming in later than earlier. The Web site's up, too, and actually posts soup and salad specials for the day. Yay for keeping the page current.
The new Petrino's Cafe on Main Street in North Adams opens Monday, the day after Easter.
In an earlier posting, iBerkshires incorrectly special invitation-only event. We apologize for any confusion. (If we're invited to an open house, we assume everybody else is, too. It actually was a preview. oops.)
But the cafe will open to the general public two days later.
Anyone walking by Main Street can see the work that's been going on inside. The floors have been refinished, the kitchen expanded and reconfigured and a the deli case is right up front when you walk in. We can't wait to see the menu.
Petrino's is opening the space occupied by the Cup & Saucer for several years.

By TOM MCCOURTSun Advocate Columnist
In the English language, it is common for one word to have more than one meaning. That is one of the reasons people from around the world find English to be one of the most difficult languages to master. Sometimes a word is pronounced the same but spelled differently, depending on use and meaning, such as "bear" and "bare."
We all know that a bear is a fuzzy animal with big teeth, and we know that when we bare it all we are naked. But then we can bear arms and barely know our neighbors. Sometimes we can hardly bear to go back to work, but then we grin and bare it. We can usually bear a temporary economic setback if we bear down, spend wisely and have the bare necessities. It is all very confusing for people with English as a second language.
Then, some words are spelled and pronounced exactly the same but have dual meanings, depending on how they are used. The word "shower" is a good example. A shower can be a soft summer rain, a bathing facility, or any bunch of things coming at you. We shower our children with love and affection and then watch a meteor shower at night from the back porch. We have showers for brides-to-be and newborn babies, but the bad guy on TV goes down in a shower of bullets. Again, sometimes it's all very confusing.
And then, some words have very subtle dual meanings. Here are a few:
*Investigator - An alligator purchased as an investment.
*Bacteria - Behind the cafeteria.
*Cartoon - "Little Deuce Coupe" by the Beach Boys.
*Carrion - Luggage you can take on an airplane.
*Catatonic - Health drink for cats.
*Clodhopper - A grasshopper from southern Utah.
*Confound - A rearrested escapee.
*Impeccable - Not afraid of chickens.
*Debonair - A millionaire named Debra.
*Debutante - A jeering remark about millionaire Debra.
*Decapitated - A bottle without a lid.
*Demarcation - Removing graffiti.
*Denominator - A delegate at a political caucus.
*Dictatorship - A boat owned by Fidel Castro.
*Disappointment - The appointment happening now.
*Mood - You're "It" in a game of cow tag.
*Dublin - What the national debt is doing.
*Germination - Where the Germans live.
*Decadent - A dent in a fender that's 10 years old.
*Horticulture - Call girl redemption.
*Hostile - Ceramic tile with pictures of horses.
*Halter - What Republicans want for Nancy Pelosi.
*Hemisphere - Near the bottom of her skirt.
*Herbicide - Where you take Herb to give him bad news.
*Hexagon - A successful Italian exorcism.
*Infer - What polar bears are wrapped in.
*Iran - What Saddam Hussein did when America invaded.
*Latex - A sissified French cowboy.
*Intern - Next in line.
*Intuition - Hoping for good news.
*Nautical - Twins that are not identical.
*Navigate - Entrance to the Navajo reservation.
*Nominee - Not my knee.
*Probate - Fishing lures used by professionals.
*Promenade - Chaperone for a high school dance.
*Rampage - Dodge truck advertisement.
*Varicose - Nearby.
*Nitrate - Cheaper than the day rate.
*Euthanasia - A Russian princess.
*Insidious - Living in the city.

|Miller Responds to Town of Boone
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 23 April 2013 12:18
"Unfortunately, it appears that the Town Council has decided to play the fiddle while Boone burns," that from Watauga Commission Chairman Nathan Miller, who said, "But unlike emperor Nero, the citizens of Boone will have the chance to vote these people out come November."
Yesterday's communication from the Town of Boone drew the comments of chairman Miller, who had some observations about other points in the town's communication, "Now the Town of Boone has sent out a memo detailing some of the cuts they're looking at. What they don't mention is the $680,000 they've spent on lobbyists over the past six years. That, in my opinion, would be a good place to start cutting." Yesterday's letter from the Town of Boone said it may be too late for the county to reverse action on the sales tax distribution, even if a compromise could be worked out, and chairman Miller agreed, pointing to all the time lost in the indirect arguing, mostly in the press, "We all knew that time was ticking away, and they decided to send letters back and forth instead of actually meeting." The town and county are feuding over recently adopted Boone housing standards that will kill the sale of the old Watauga High property with a high bid in at $19 million. The county, a large property holder in the town of Boone, has threatened to sue the town over the new Affordable Housing initiative for its impact on the school property and on other properties the county owns within the town.

Want to wish Barry Switzer a happy birthday? Leave him a note here.
Troy Aikman, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback
"To the greatest recruiter in the history of football ... which explains why a 6-foot-4 pocket passer would go to Oklahoma to run the wishbone."
Fred Akers, former Texas coach
"A good friend. I think that's the test of friendship, when you can go to battle like we did — win or lose, either one — and get over it. That's a friendship."
Jari Askins, former Lt. Governor of Oklahoma
"A man whose heart is bigger than football records and championship rings. Husband. Dad. 'Grumpy.' Coach. Mentor. Friend."
Bobby Bell, 40-year best friend and fishing pal
"The man that I love like a brother, the best-hearted guy that I've ever been around."
Dean Blevins, former OU quarterback
"A man who has been my coach and friend for some 40 years. A remarkable father, admired by millions — especially his family, former players and Oklahomans whose lives he's touched with a genuine and unselfish love."
David Boren, University of Oklahoma president
"A great example of the Sooner spirit."
Brian Bosworth, former OU linebacker
"My favorite Sooner of all time."
John Brooks, former OU play-by-play voice
"A coach who could generate enthusiasm (in players) and belief in themselves. What he did in recruiting the black athlete opened the doors for so many others, in addition to the ones who played at Oklahoma."
Mike Brooks, OU football historian
"A champion at life. Gosh, he's honest. He had warts, he had spots, he had problems, but, man, what a winner."
Mack Brown, Texas coach
"A great friend since 1984. What a tremendous, hall of fame coach. I wish him all the best on his big day."
Frank Broyles, former Arkansas coach and athletic director
"A Razorback letterman coaching three NCAA championships and a Super Bowl championship. What gives me the most pride is the kind of man you are and the thousands of lives you have touched along the way."
Joe Castiglione, OU athletic director
"A Hall of Fame coach no doubt, but being a champion for the needs of others defines what you're all about."
Sherri Coale, OU women's basketball coach
"A coach who taught us all that relationships are the foundation of every success. And for being the best storyteller alive. Honored to call you my friend."
Derek Cody, OU fan living in Starkville, Miss.
"The thorn in Texas' side, the man who perfected the wishbone and how to be a champion, the man who will always be our coach."
Patrick Collins, former OU halfback
"A man that has really been a father figure to me. He's someone who cares about people more than himself."
Tim Cowlishaw, Dallas Morning News sports columnist
"The coach I covered with both the Sooners and the Cowboys. As maybe the only beat writer that covered you at OU and Dallas, my only question is: What's our next stop?"
Steve Davis, former OU quarterback
"The master wizard of 'Sooner Magic!' It was Coach Switzer's heart and passion that challenged his players to make magic on those wonderful Saturday afternoons. His genius was in his ability to inspire his teams to play their best in the biggest games."
Adrian DeWendt, Special Olympics Oklahoma president and CEO
"The man who has been the Special Olympics Oklahoma head coach for more than 40 years, never missing an opening ceremonies in all those years. You have inspired and encouraged countless athletes, coaches, volunteers and friends with your humble dedication."
Jim Donnan, former OU offensive coordinator
"An awesome coach and a genuine friend. He was the best coach I ever worked for. His ability to motivate players and delegate authority to coaches is unmatched."
Donnie Duncan, former OU athletic director and assistant coach
"A special and talented man, but your greatest legacy will be that as the head coach at Oklahoma. Your openness brought hope into homes where there was little hope. In the process, every player had a fair chance and millions were uplifted by seeing on TV how one man could — and did — make a difference. "
Al Eschbach, sports talk radio host
"The man who was a lot more than just a recruiter. He's a tremendous Xs and Os coach."
Chuck Fairbanks, former OU coach
"A great friend. Barry was like a younger brother to me. He was totally outstanding as a coach and a friend. Like all of us, we probably could look back and say there are some things we'd like to do over again, but when you look at the total body of work, it's a pretty darn outstanding career he's had and I'm awfully proud of that."
Mike Gaddis, former OU running back
"The reason for my choosing the Sooners over the (USC) Trojans back in 1987. Thanks for still being 'coach' for me even until this day. I know I can always call on you whenever for whatever. "
Randy Galloway, Fort Worth Star sports columnist
"The man who made 75. You'll be there at 125. Let me be the first to say, as your worst critic back in your Cowboy days, I was too hard on you, Barry. I was too hard on you."
Jason Garrett, Dallas Cowboys coach and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback
"My old coach. It was great to play for you and learn from you. I wish you the very best when you celebrate this milestone."
Mike Gundy, OSU coach
"A guy who a lot of people had a hard time saying 'no' to. He just has that way about him where it's real easy to like him, especially in recruiting."
Heather Hancock, Special Olympics Oklahoma athlete from Moore
"An awesome head coach, who presented me with the Oklahoma athlete of the year award at the Special Olympics summer state games in 2011. Thank you for dedicating 40 years of service to Special Olympics Oklahoma."
The family of Bob Hersom, who covered Switzer's Sooners for The Oklahoman
"A bootlegger's boy to Super Bowl champion, winning national college football championships along the way. You have embraced life at every turn."
Scott Hill, former OU assistant coach
"To the man who drove me across campus and showed me where the Baptist Student Union was located to live with Joe Wiley. My special thanks for showing how to express concern, love, loyalty and compassion for all people and in all situations."
Becky Switzer, wife
"The best husband and friend ever."
Jamelle Holieway, former OU quarterback
"One of the best people that I've ever met in my life, whether it's a coach or a friend or a father. I appreciate you always being straight up and coming forward to tell me what I need to do and what I need to do make it better."
Keith Jackson, former OU tight end
"The greatest player's coach of all time. A lot of people measure success on how many games they win. He measures his success on the relationships he has."

The 1769 transit of Venus was observed and coordinated by over one hundred astronomers around the world. How did they measure time so accurately, key to the observations having any scientific value? I find little information online regarding 18th century timekeeping devices. I assume that they were mostly using clocks intended for nautical navigation, as I think those were the most accurate of the era.
Since pre-historic times, it is the motion of stars which were used to measure time. Astronomers were well-aware of their motions and their relation to time. And as far as my knowledge goes, they had angle measuring instruments similar to modern day sextants by 18th century.
If you refer to any textbook in astronomy, one of the most important things they teach is how to keep time using motion of stars. This used to be every day(or night) practice in observatories.
There were assistants in observatories to calibrate time. It was a very important job in those times. This calculation had to be accurate. You can get the importance of this practice by your question.

Submission Nokia reasserts control over Symbian OS->
jfruhlinger writes: Nokia is asserting its control over the Symbian OS that runs many of its smartphones, taking the tasks of developing the operating system away from the independent Symbian Foundation. Of course, this also illustrates Symbian's importance to Nokia's smartphone plans, even though the company is also developing phones that run the Linux-based Meego OS.

HELPER - Lee R. Rutherford, age 72, passed away peacefully at his home in Helper on Dec. 9, 2012 while surrounded by his family.

He was stationed at Fort Carson, Colo., and was later transferred to Germany during the Cold War. After leaving the Army Lee joined the U.S. Navy and served as a flight mechanic on the USS Hancock during the Vietnam War.

After leaving the Navy he worked for over 40 years at New Method Printing and Engraving as a printer where he became a master of his craft. Lee loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing and shooting. After retiring Lee moved to Helper. He took great pleasure in helping his elderly neighbors. Though he pretended to be gruff he was kind and giving. Lee was always there to lend a hand to anyone in need. He and his best friend Johnny Kosmack would help each other on every project while always arguing politics.
Lee loved his family and of course, his little dogs. He had a strong belief in God, and in his last days he trusted Christ as his personal Savior.

"Great alternative"
Our older dog had parvo as a puppy, and as a result cannot have any pork products, as they're too greasy. These lamb ears are a great alternative... not greasy at all, and she knows where they're kept and has no qualms begging until she gets one. And these are much softer than the ones I've picked up from the chain petstores... which is great as she's getting older now.

Highlights from the Archives
Remapping the Middle East, Maybe
After Saddam Hussein seized neighboring Kuwait in 1990, the historian David Fromkin published an essay in the Smithsonian journal recalling how the modern Middle East was formed, in which he wrote: ''In 1922, Churchill succeeded in mapping out the Arab Middle East along lines suitable to the needs of the British civilian and military administrations. T.E. Lawrence [''Lawrence of Arabia''] would later brag that he, Churchill and a few others had designed the modern Middle East over dinner. Seventy years later the question is whether the peoples of the Middle East are willing or able to continue living with that design.''January 9, 2005 opinionOp-Ed
Passions and Ambiguities in the Desert

Shifting Sand Beneath a Heroic Image
Few historical figures have been as vigorously mythologized as T. E. Lawrence, the British soldier and archeologist who helped lead the Arab Revolt against the Turks during World War I. Lawrence, of course, started the process himself with a theatrical self-portrait in ''Seven Pillars of Wisdom'' (1926), and David Lean galvanized that legend with his stunning 1962 epic, ''Lawrence of Arabia,'' a movie that immortalized its hero against the sweeping desert vistas of the Middle East.October 19, 1999 artsReview
Confused, Complex Lawrence Of Arabia
T. E. Lawrence, one of the century's most elusive heroes, is taken down the dramatization path yet again in "A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia." The subtitle intentionally echoes the acclaimed David Lean film that, much to the distress of T. E. experts, had Peter O'Toole portraying a rather flamboyant, almost swashbuckling Lawrence, ostentatiously given to deep thoughts.May 6, 1992 artsReview

Product Activation.
With Dolphin's new Product Activation, your software serial number is now protected for use on the computer hardware of your choice and may not be used by other people on their computers.
Your Dolphin software will run as a 30 day demonstration version until such time as it is activated. Product activation is required in order to obtain a software licence and upon activation your product will automatically become a full unlimited version. You can activate your product at anytime during the first 30 days, by selecting to "Activate now", alternatively you may choose to "Remind me later".
Product activation can be done automatically if Internet access is available or manually if access to the Internet is not available. Internet activation is an automatic procedure. Manual activation requires you to insert an activation code based upon your unique product key.
You will be prompted to activate your Dolphin product with a wizard style dialog box when the product is run. There are several options:
- Activate Now. This is a single button press operation. The product connects to Dolphin's activation server. If you have a network or multi user licence version then select "Multi user licence" and enter in your activation code stated on your software.
- Internet activation.
Internet activation is the simplest procedure because activation is automatic. This will require you to have an Internet connection. The procedure will connect to the Dolphin server where your software will be automatically allocated an activation code.
- Manual activation.
The manual process will require you to enter an activation code that is based upon your unique product key. Your product key value is shown during the manual activation process.
To obtain an activation code you should contact your local Dolphin dealer and report to them your product key. From this key they will be able to issue you with an activation code.
- Internet activation.
- Remind me later. You can put off activating your Dolphin product until later. If you choose "Remind me later" you will then be informed regularly that activation is still required and the number of days remaining to perform this task.
To re-commence the activation process you should either restart Supernova or select the "Activate" option from the "Help" menu in the Supernova control panel. If this item is not available in the "Help" menu then SuperNova has already been activated.
Uninstalling and re-installing SuperNova onto the same computer does not result in Supernova having to be activated again. If you require an additional licence for use on another machine, then please contact your Dolphin dealer.
Hardware Changes.
If you change hardware on your desktop PC, this can be detected. Dolphin can tell the difference between you changing just a bit of hardware (e.g. an upgrade to the graphics card), and changing everything (e.g. upgrading the machine).
If the computer's hardware has been changed you will be advised to reactivate your Dolphin software. However this will not use up one of your activations and the product will continue to run without any time limitations.
If you have to reinstall your software – maybe you have to reinstall windows, you will have to reactivate your software. This will not use up an activation because both the hardware and serial number are the same. The activation server will simply reissue the same activation code.
If you upgrade your software and keep the same serial number, you will not need to re-activate.
Single Device Licences.
The activation server has a default value of 3 allowed product activations for any serial numbers that are not specifically set otherwise.
Site Licences.
If a site licence is purchased, you will be provided with a single boxed copy of the product and a site licence code (on your licence certificate) allowing you to install it a number of times. Dolphin will then alter the number of allowed activations for that specific serial number on the activation server to the number of licences purchased.
For more information read the Product Activation FAQs.

How To Cuff Your Jeans Like A Pro
- 1 of 15
Inspired by three fashion trailblazers—Alexa Chung, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Julie Sarinana of Sincerely, Jules—we're showing you the formulas behind the season's must-try looks: the traditional skinny cuff, the undone half cuff, and the polished thick cuff. Click through now for all of our essential tips—you're sure to become a pro by the end!
- 2 of 15
A thick cuff requires a wider-leg pair of jeans that are a little loose.
We used: J Brand 1265 Ace Cropped Boyfriend Jeans ($227) in Arcadian Black
- 3 of 15
Step One
Fold the jeans to create a one-inch cuff.
- 4 of 15
Step Two

- 5 of 15
Step Three
Smooth out the cuff to create a polished look.
- 6 of 15
Styling Tip: Make this your weekend go-to with a relaxed tee and ankle-strap flats.
- 7 of 15
The skinny cuff works best on fitted silhouettes, as it creates the appearance of a long, lean line.
We used: DL 1961 Amanda Jeans ($168) in Twilight
- 8 of 15
Step One
Fold the bottom of the jeans to create a half-inch cuff.
- 9 of 15
Step Two
Fold a second time, adding an extra half-inch to the cuff. It should be nice and tight and hit at or just above the ankle.
- 10 of 15
Styling Tip: Elongate your legs further by adding a nude wedge or low-cut heel.
- 11 of 15
The half cuff is best suited for slouchier styles like the boyfriend jean.
We used: Gap 1969 Destructed Sexy Boyfriend Jeans ($70) in Prospect

To achieve an accordion-like look, start by making a single four-inch cuff.

North country officials are taking a wait-and-see approach to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos proposal to smooth out public pension costs over time because of suspicions that any money saved in the short term would not be worth higher costs down the line.
At first blush, the plan offered a ray of hope for those struggling to stabilize a fluctuating expense that has ballooned in recent years.
Its really the one proposal that would have the most impact for local governments, St. Lawrence County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said. Its the first time Ive seen a scaling back of some costs that have been going up every year. Its small, but its going in the right direction.
However, details of the stable contribution option remain scant other than that it would require locking in for 25 years in exchange for a fixed contribution rate.
Were doing some analysis to see what that means, Ms. St. Hilaire said.
In broad strokes, the locked-in rate would even out annual contributions to the pension system, taking away some of the sting of recent increases brought on by the financial crisis and making it easier to budget from year to year.
In St. Lawrences case, the county was paying 8 percent of salaries as its contribution in 2007. Since the market slump in 2008, contributions have skyrocketed so that pensions continue to have funding. The most recent percentage contribution was 21 percent, St. Lawrence County Treasurer Kevin M. Felt said.
If that percentage were brought down to 12 percent as called for in Gov. Cuomos initial plan the county would save $3 million to $3.5 million in the first year.
Over the long term, shortfalls in the pension fund not paid for in the early years of the program would be covered as lower-cost Tier VI pension obligations kicked in.
However, critics of the plan said they believe lower pension contributions are just a few years away as the stock market continues to recover. Those who locked in to a stable rate could pay more than their actual costs later.
In two to three years, if the market stays strong, that 21 percent is going to drastically go down, Mr. Felt said. This is a short-term fix, but at what cost? Theres a lot of questions without a lot of answers.
Scott A. Gray, chairman of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators Finance and Rules Committee, was not impressed after his initial review of the proposal.
Mr. Gray said that while the stabilization effect of the proposal may benefit cash-strapped municipalities, Jefferson County, being fiscally conservative and bullish on the economy, most likely would stick with variable contributions to take advantage of future savings.
Trailing bad times, youre going to have substantial contributions, he said. At this point, our contributions are going to come down.
Town officials also are casting a critical eye on the proposal.
For example, the town of LeRay has 23 employees enrolled in the state pension program. Under Tier VI, the annual contribution required by employers for newly hired employees is 9.9 percent this year and 11.3 percent in 2014. The percentage could dip to 6.5 percent in the next 25 years, so locking in at 12 percent would not pay off, said Steven T. Harter, administrative clerk.
Either way, its a crap shoot, he said. But nine of our full-time people here are going to retire in the next 10 years, which means all of their replacements will enroll in the Tier VI program. And I dont see the rate for that plan being above 12 percent.
Clayton Supervisor Justin A. Taylor said he will evaluate the potential long-term benefits of enrolling in the plan based on his guess of who will retire according to their age and years worked.
Employers will need to take into consideration whether these employees will be replaced, he said. I think I still need to understand more about what the governor is proposing.
The plan could save Lewis County and Lewis County General Hospital, Lowville, about $3 million in the first year, county Treasurer Patricia L. OBrien said. Lewis County and its municipal hospital made a combined $6.9 million pension payment in December, but that figure is projected to increase to $8.4 million next year.
However, given the difficulty of projecting pension costs so far into the future, it would be a gamble to buy into the proposed program, she said.
Twenty-five years is a long time to lock into a rate, Mrs. OBrien said.
The city of Watertown could save about $1 million under the governors plan, said Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham, who talked to Lt. Gov. Robert J. Duffy about it during a visit Thursday to City Hall.
The city will spend about $3.1 million in the coming year on pension expenses. While the mayor generally liked the proposal, he also had doubts.
Im not sure its sustainable for 25 years with the continuing annual excess in the system, he said. Im not sure anything lasts for 25 years.
The state comptrollers office has yet to issue an opinion.
This is the governors proposal and the comptroller is the sole trustee, Mr. Felt said. Its up to him whether he puts a plan in place. I havent seen any reaction from him.
Unions and the state Teachers Retirement System also will want to have their say as pension contributions are for their members retirement.
Obviously, theyre going to weigh in on it, St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services Superintendent Thomas R. Burns said. We have zero details on this.
Times staff writers Ted Booker, Daniel Flatley, Craig Fox and Steve Virkler contributed to this report.

CANTON A former Franklin County sheriffs deputy who resigned 20 years ago after being accused of soliciting sex acts from an inmate was arraigned in St. Lawrence County Court on Friday on allegations that new sexual assault charges constituted a probation violation in connection with a 2007 sex-abuse case.
Terry J. Dupuis, 59, of Brasher Falls was arrested Dec. 4 by state police and charged with second-degree sexual abuse of a victim less than 14 years of age and endangering the welfare of a child following a complaint received from a town of Brasher resident. State police at Massena said Friday that Dupuis sexually abused a 13-year-old female on more than one occasion.
At the time of the alleged offense, Dupuis was still on probation in connection with a five-year-old Franklin County case.
In July 2007, Dupuis, then of Brushton, was charged with second-degree unlawful surveillance, a felony, for placing a wireless video camera in the ceiling of a neighbors shower. The inch-square device, which transmits images to a computer, may have been there up to a month, police said at the time. Dupuis was arrested after a 15-year-old girl spotted the camera in the shower of her home.
In January 2008, Dupuis was sentenced to 180 days incarceration and five years probation in that case, Franklin County officials confirmed Friday.
He pleaded not guilty in St. Lawrence County Court on Friday to accusations of violating his probation, with the matter adjourned until Feb. 15. The sexual abuse charges are still pending.
Dupuis is being held in the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility without bail.
In July 1992, when he was a Franklin County aheriffs deputy living in Malone, Dupuis was arrested by state police on accusations that he asked a male inmate to perform oral sex on him. Dupuis resigned his position and was convicted of attempted official misconduct. Records show he received a conditional discharge in that case, Franklin County officials said.

Read: Brady Skjei Should Have A Spot On Team USA
At the United States of Hockey, Chris Peters writes that Brady Skjei was Team USA's best defenseman yesterday in their skeleton crew loss to Finland.
Peters notes "Skjei was his normal, slick-skating self, but showed even better puck-moving skills than he's displayed previously in camp."
He adds that Skjei deserves a spot to be a fifth or sixth defenseman on the World Junior team in December.

I may be going to Wat Ram Poeng in Thailand that uses the Mahasi technique or something similar (focuses on abdomen and then uses "sitting" and "touching" (a number of spots on the body) between the in out breath and the in breath).
I really want to go to Wat Ram Poeng, set up looks good and looks quite intense. However, I am much much happier focusing the breathing on the nostrils (is natural for me and is a tool to stay present in day to day life). I have seen in a couple of places on the internet that the original Mahasi meditation centres do allow people to focus on the breath at the nostrils if they so desire / insist.
Does anyone have any experience of Mahasi and focusing on the nostrils and if so how do you do the "sitting" "touching" as there is no time / much less time between out breath and in breath when focusing at the nostrils (rather than the abdomen)?
Any thoughts much appreciated

Comments about Osprey Atmos 65 AG Backpack:
Used this product on a 6 day backpack in U.S Southwest canyon country. Lots of scrambling, sliding on sandstone and slickrock. Carried ~50lb comfortably with no sway. Pack is easy to fit, comfortable from the start. The suspension puts you in a good hiking position and distributes weight so that it is not bearing down solely on the hipbones but around the circumference pelvic bone/sacrum. Difficult to explain but easy to wear.
Pack layout was simple, straightforward. Outer mesh pocket is nicely done. Two-pocket lid also very handy. Two mesh pockets for water or other items are well laid out and are built so that one can easily reach for and replace a water bottle without stopping or asking for assistance. After a week, though, I am a little concerned that the mesh in these areas may not retain is shape and elasticity over the long haul, as they are already losing their shape a bit.
Another issue concerns the main clips securing the lid to the pack and which hold the pack "together" vertically. They are smallish, in my view. One seemed to lose it's shape under tension and was difficult to unclip because of that. I'm not sure if the clip was defective at purchase, but the problem was a nagging - though minor - concern over the trip.
Finally, the pack packs larger than some &) liter packs I looked at, and carried much more easily, with better comfort and stability , than other slightly larger packs.
Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase and - at this juncture - would buy this pack again. By far the most comfortable pack I've owned.

Comments about Osprey Atmos 65 AG Backpack:
I intend on using this pack for my thru-hike of the AT.
Beautiful lines on this backpack underscore its thoughtful engineering. I am actively searching for a negative criticism but I'm truly without one.
Durable material, plentiful storage space, and blissful adjustable comfort at every contact point make this the perfect pack for days-weeks-months long treks, it's really the pack to own.
I am a rather stocky guy at 5'9" 225lbs. and have no problem adjusting this comfortably to my wide chest, and thick waist.
The hydration port is easy to use and maintain, and the pack is set up logically for easy packing/unpacking.
I would buy this pack again!

I absolutely love this backpack - my 3rd Osprey backpack to date, love this company!! Their design and quality is amazing. The fit is more customized with this pack as well coming with movable shoulder straps for a more custom fit. The ventilated mesh backpanel is superb, helping to better distribute the pack weight while keeping the sweat away.

Comments about Osprey Atmos 65 AG Backpack:
I've owned the original Atmos 50 for several years, and was surprised to hear that Osprey was revising both the Atmos 50 and Atmos 65. What could they possibly improve? With a weeklong backpacking trip on the horizon, and the heinous prospect of carrying dog food along with 7 days of my own grub, I decided to take the plunge on the "new and improved" Atmos 65.
Let me be the first to admit that my suspicions were unfounded. How did Osprey manage this? The updated pack is significantly lighter -- the 2012 Atmos 65 only weighs a couple of ounces more than last year's Atmos 50! -- but the fabrics used feel just as tough as the previous model, and none of the features have been compromised in the name of going ultralight. They've also improved the padding on the waist belt and shoulder straps.
This is THE pack to have, and I can't recommend it more highly. If I could choose six stars, I would. The suspension is efficient and transfers the load beautifully; unlike many lightweight backpacks, you can actually load this one up to the top without setting aside $ for future chiropractor visits.
I pack pretty light when I'm on the trail, but I started out with 38 pounds in this bad boy for the aforementioned trip, and it felt like 25... all from a backpacking pack that weighs 3.5 or 4 pounds, depending on the frame size.
What's not to like? The side pockets fit my water bottles easily, and my pocket camera fits in the hip pockets. The compression straps are well-placed and effective. The sleeping bag compartment is MAMMOTH; I easily carried a +15F bag, 1" Therm-A-Rest and silk liner in there at once, smooshed inside a lightweight dry bag.
Multiple outer pockets provide several options for storing potentially-wet items like crossing shoes, rain jacket, pack cover and water filter. The pack rides very comfortably, the load lifters are perfectly-placed and this thing just LOOKS cool (mine is "oxide red")...
If you were on the fence about Osprey's original, award-winning Atmos series packs, it's time to man up (or woman up, although you'll want an Aura 65) and pick one of these up. Seriously. This is THE best backpacking pack on the market right now.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
Several sources including Mental Health America rank Utah as the most depressed state in the union. After interviewing sources in and around the local area, it is apparent that Carbon County is not immune to the black curtain that has fallen over a goodly portion of the state.
According to depression.com, along with the black curtain the covers the lives of many suffering from the disease, most people feel like they have no energy and can't concentrate. Others feel irritable all the time for no apparent reason. The symptoms most definitely vary from person to person.
"If you feel down for more than two weeks and these feelings are interfering with your daily life you may be clinically depressed," explained the sight.
Local physician Dr. Sterling Potter, who sees approximately 2,000 patients stated that there are between 250 and 500 that are treated for depression at one time or another.
"There is a lot of denial with depression," said Dr. Potter's staff member Kerrie Sherman. "Patients come in and ask Dr. Potter, what is wrong with me? All I do is fight with my husband or wife, why am I so mean to my kids? Why am I so irritable? And then you tell them they may be suffering from depression and they look at you like you are crazy."
Both Potter and Sherman agreed that depression can be tricky to diagnose and everyone can be different in their manifestation of the disease.
"One of the main symptoms we look for in patients that may be experiencing depression is a loss of interest in activities that they once enjoyed," said Potter. "Many times you can also see it in someone's face. We also ask if a patient either feels like or simply does burst into tears at random times."
Potter reported that he offers three types of therapy for those experiencing depression:
â¢Straight medical therapy with an anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication.
â¢Cognitive therapy with a licensed therapist.
â¢Or a combination of the two.
According to Potter there are several studies that show a genetic link concerning depression.
"At least half of the patients I see for depression have a family history of dealing with the same disease," explained Potter. "But depression is tricky because most people don't like to admit that they have a problem, that they have an imbalance in their mind."
Additionally, depression can lead individuals to self medicate starting a whole other cycle of problems both mentally and socially.
"Substance abuse, especially of methamphetamine and opiate narcotics can lead to imbalances," said Potter.
Self medication, at times, can be counterbalanced quite easily however, he said, by simple physical activity.
"Many mood disorders are not diagnosed until later in life," said Potter. "But studies have shown that 30 minutes of exercise per day can have the same effect on teenagers as medication."
The exercise produces the neurological chemicals that will combat depressive symptoms.
To complicate the matter further, more than 70 percent of substance abusers have mental issues which can also lead to depression.
"These people really tend to head toward self medication," said Potter. "The kids with depression issues tend to use pain killers because they give people a euphoric affect. Also kids with attention deficit disorder tend to use meth because it works on their mind nearly the same as most prescription medications for ADHD. If we get these kids in here with substance abuse issues and don't treat the underlying problem, there is a good chance they will return to substance abuse."
To look at the disease from a different view, the Sun Advocate contacted Tisa Pendergrass from Community Nursing Services who is a registered nurse and specializes in hospice care.
Pendergrass typically handles approximately 8-10 patients at once and CNS handles about 30, all who have been diagnosed with a terminal disease and have decided to switch from curative care to palliative care. The switch means that hospice personnel concentrate more on a patient's comfort than recovery from a disease which there is no cure.
"It's is interesting to see that once a patient has decided to go to hospice care, it is their family that has the immediate problem with anxiety and depression not the patient," she explained.
Pendergrass reported that approximately 90 percent of individuals under hospice care are on some type of anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication.
She stated that while most hospice patients have made peace with their status in life, they are contacted by a social worker within 48 hour after going on hospice to have a professional discern their mental state.
Along with the patient and their families, the nurses who work for hospice also can have a hard time dealing with the fact that their patients have a nearly 100 percent mortality rate.
"It can be tough on them," said Jedd Olsen. "When you get a nurse who loses four or five patients in one week they can have a hard time for awhile."
Pendergrass, however, stated that most of the individuals who work for hospice have an attitude that enables them to better handle what some would see as a very depressing situation.
"We all work in hospice for the same reason," she said. "We take pride in the fact that we enable an individual the opportunity to say all the things that needs to be said to their families before they pass on. It does make us sad at times but we take solace in the fact that we make their last days as comfortable and dignified as we possibly can."
Dr. Potter is the resident physician for hospice care and had further information about those who will be dealing with the disease for a longer period of time.
"You know it is interesting," he said. "There are a good number of patients whose depressive symptoms will go away untreated after six months or so, however, it is important to watch anyone who has been diagnosed with depression, especially early on, because seriously depressed people who have decided to end their life tend to get a feeling of euphoria. Once they have made the decision to kill themselves, they have found a solution and they feel better."
Potter reported that those who use medical treatment alone tend to have significant recovery about two-thirds of the time. Those who choose cognitive therapy with no medication tend to see significant recovery one-third of the time and those who have sought out treatment via both venues raise their recovery rate from 66 to 68 percent.
"However, those who start medical treatment tend to have a higher rate of relapse once they leave the medication if they have chronic issues," said Potter.
Everyone has tough situations in their lives, he said, they go through divorce or job stress or a death in the family and these personal stresses can lead to the imbalance that causes depression. Most people will seek help for their feelings, get it treated and then get off the meds and be fine after about three months.
"If the stresser is gone they tend to have great success," said Potter. "But some have more serious long-term issues that do require long-term treatment, In my opinion the difference can be traced largely to genetics."
The good news is that there is literally a cornucopia of different medication that can be tailor fit to any person's situation. Additionally, for those who have problems taking medication, cognitive therapy can be very effective in the treatment of depression.

I reckon it will turn into RMAH, however not in the D3 way. It wont be player to player, but rather, as BMAH, Blizzard to player.
Nothing worth having comes easy. That's why hard content is worth doing, and easy content is a waste of time.
With the massive uproar they had over the RMAH in D3, I doubt it'll ever see the light of day in another game again. Maybe Titan. Who knows.
Well, scratch that. As long as WoW has a subscription fee, there will be no RMAH. IF WoW goes F2P, then we will see something similar to RMAH. But from blizz to player.
Alot of people quit D3 over RMAH.

No offense, but right now you're kinda the one who looks silly trying to state that out-of-date information from months ago has not possibly changed/shifted at all during that time.
When mop happened I saw server queues, zone full of player etc... 2 Month later, no queue anymore. Server is back to its fireland state where It's hard to find enough people for baradin hold (now sha), 2 days after the reset...
Make me think that players who came back for mop already left less than 3 Month after the launch, and that the "10m" number is not valid anymore...
I think it will be.
It could be that they will use the battle-net currency, but that is real money also.
Somehow we'll be paying with real money, that is my believe.
---------- Post added 2012-12-10 at 10:44 AM ----------
I think players are doing other things or they left the game or so.
Theres already real money auction house.Its called TGC mount/pets that got BoE and now floods the AH.
At any moment theres no less than 10 TGC mounts (150k the cheapest - 500K the spectral tiger) on my server.
You buy the codes on ebay and you put it on the ah.I fail to see how is this any kind of different of a real money AH because i dont think anyone would be so naive to believe they are all TGC collectors and as long as I know buying a phisycal item (the tgc card) and redeem yourself is perfectly TOS legit(am i wrong?).
Of course it is, and people who know it have known it since the idea of BMAH was first proposed to the public. Those who think otherwise are kidding themselves, and the funniest part is, when it does get implemented, everyone will forget they ever thought it'd never happen in the first place.
My Cracked articles, writing blog, and Twitter.
The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

Not likely. Since there aren't many significant gold sinks in WoW any more, especially considering the ease of earning coin now, they needed to add something that can suck gold out of the economy, and scale with expansion.
WoW PvP; Where DPS are healers, tanks are DPS, and healers are tanks!
If you raised the price of something with a 1.000 $, people would get mad and probably not buy it anymore.
But, if you raised it in, lets say, 20 steps to a total increase of 1.000 $ people would accept it.
it is like throwing a frog in boiling water; it wil try to escape as quick as possible.
But if you put him in normal temp. water and start boiling the water, the frog will stay there till death.
Just a matter of conditioning people, nothing more nothing less.
I read somewhere people wanting some more use of their battle.net currency.. well it would be brilliant to use it for bmah.
I see it coming.......

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- When First Lady Michelle Obama holds a fundraiser Friday in Portland, the print media will be there. So will bloggers. Television cameras will not.
At first we were told there was no room -- not even for one video camera --in the 5,000 square foot Ocean Gateway. When we pressed the issue, we were told that TV cameras were simply not going to be allowed.
This is not an unusual restriction coming from the Obama White House, nor was it from the Bush White House for that matter, but our question is why?
NBC Chief White House corespondent Chuck Todd says both parties are limiting media access these days. He believes the reasoning behind excluding TV cameras, is that the administration, and Mrs. Obama herself, don't want her painted in a political light.
Ted O'Meara, a long time Maine political strategist, says some fundraisers are public, others private. But he says it is a mystery to him as to why the White House would exclude just TV.
We contacted the Maine Democratic Party. They did not return our call for a comment.
