DEXTER General Brown Central School District could name a new superintendent as early as this week.
Jack J. Boak, superintendent of the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services, said Board of Education members will meet Tuesday, after theyve had time to review feedback from school and community members about their three superintendent candidate finalists. He has helped guide the board through the search process.
At that meeting, theyll narrow it down even more, he said.
From there, board members could decide to visit candidates school districts, or simply select their choice for superintendent. Superintendent Stephan J. Vigliotti Sr. will resign June 30 to become superintendent of St. Lawrence Central School District, Brasher Falls.
The three finalists Leslie A. LaRose, deputy superintendent for Franklin-Essex-Hamilton BOCES, Malone; Mary E. Curcio, superintendent of McGraw Central School District, and Cammy J. Morrison, assistant superintendent for curriculum/instruction at Gouverneur Central School District spent all of Wednesday being interviewed by General Brown administrative staff, students, the food service director, the transportation supervisor, district office staff, faculty and instructional staff, instructional support staff and community members. They also toured the district with Transportation Supervisor Gary C. Grimm.
The top issues people wanted each candidate to address were their interaction with students, communication with the board and community members, and their relationships with elected officials.
Mrs. Curcio said she knows that as a brand-new superintendent the learning curve is huge. She helped the McGraw Central School District close a $1 million budget gap. She said shes passionate about not having animosity within a school district, and even has led workshops on civility for school personnel. When Mrs. Curcio was asked by a community member how shed get General Brown out of the potential insolvency it faces, she said the bottom line is sacrifices have to be made.
You protect instruction first, she said. I believe in athletics; however, you have to look long and hard at what you can give up.
When asked by incoming board member Brien M. Spooner why she applied for the position, Mrs. Curcio said her roots are here.
I did my student teaching here, the former math teacher said. If selected as superintendent, Mrs. Curcio said, she plans to rent a home within the district.
Ms. LaRose said she, too, has ties with the district. When she attended Watertown High School decades ago, she played in a tennis match against General Brown.
Im very familiar with the district, she said. This is the only superintendency Im applying for, the only one Im interested in.
She said her sense of humor puts people at ease, and she likes to work openly and in collaboration with others.
Ms. LaRose then took notes when she asked community members what their priorities are. Glen Park resident Heather L. Ellingsworth said that the district cannot afford to lose more teachers, and that creative solutions have to be found.
I think we cant lose hope, Ms. LaRose said. My mother always said something good will come out of something bad. Everything is not broke at General Brown.
Mrs. Morrison, who moved to Brownville in the fall, said General Brown needs healing.
Id suggest a fresh start, she said. Healing takes time, and building trust takes time. Anytime you have change you have an opportunity for growth. Im not in a position to judge anything that has happened in the past. There are all kinds of leadership styles. We can talk about problems all day long, and no one is going to step into this position and change it overnight.
She said she hopes she is the superintendent candidate chosen to build trust with the board and community.
Meanwhile, Mr. Boak said, all six board members will review feedback from school and community members this weekend, and decide whether they will bring back one, two or all three candidates for another round of interviews. The board will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the General Brown room at the junior-senior high school, 17643 Cemetery Road.

Maine Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew says progress is being made in fixing problems in the system that provides transportation for recipients of MaineCare. But Mayhew told members of the Legislature's Appropriations Committee Thursday that she wants to see a significant turnaround in a matter of weeks. Tom Porter has more.
Maine DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew addresses the Appropriations Committee yesterday on the transportation program, and other issues.
"We are holding feet to the fire to see a level of improvement, and we have seen some," Mayhew told members of the Legislature's Appropriations Committee Thursday.
Those having their proverbial feet held to the fire are the two out-of-state contractors who this month took over the job of coordinating and providing MaineCare recipients with rides to medical appointments.
Local non-profits had previously provided the service, which is now carried out by LogistiCare of Atlanta, Georgia, which services the York County area. That contract cost the state $5.1 million. Most of the rest of the state is served by a company out of Connecticut called Consolidated Transportation Solutions, or CTS, at a cost of $28.3 million.
Since they took over, the state has received more than 2,000 complaints, mostly from patients unable to get a ride.
This should never have happened, says Mayhew. But, she told lawmakers, at least the contractors are doing something about it.
"The brokers have hired additional staff, they have purchased vehicles," Mayhew said, "And certainly one of the major areas of concern has been the call center and the delays to getting through to the call center, and that particular call center has increased their staff, significantly."
"I think Mary Mayhew has a major problem on her hands and my heart goes out to her," says Democratic state Sen. Dawn Hill. Hill, of York, is the Senate chair of the Appropriations Committee.
Hill says there's only so much control the state can have when working with major out-of-state companies like LogistiCare and CTS. She says the contract between the state and the two companies did not include a transition plan that would have made a more gradual shift of responsibility to the new providers.
Hill says she would also have liked to see a system of goals and penalties established, to help ensure the companies met their targets.
"Obviously DHHS can cancel the contract any time, but I realize that's not that easy to do," Hill says, "because even if they canceled the contract they have to have another system in place, and I'm not sure it would even be that smooth going back to the original system, again, just because of the sheer magnitude of the transportation system for (MaineCare) throughout the state."
Commissioner Mayhew, meanwhile, says there are "limted other remedies" for the MaineCare transportation problem. If it can't be resolved successfully, she added, other decisions will need to be made.
Neither CTS nor LogistiCare would provide comment. LogistiCare spokesman Todd DeFeo did provide a brief written statement, saying that the state of Maine was "doing a great job of managing to a set of performance standards as part of the contract." He went on to say that LogistiCare is well within those standards.
An employee at Consolidated Transportation Solutions in Connecticut told MPBN that company president Dave White was on the road and unavailable for comment.

The pain is invisible, but it's very real.
"Portraits" -- the USO's new public service announcement series -- focuses on the invisible wounds of war, including post traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. The series seeks to educate Americans on the challenges our service men and women face upon returning from war.
"Post traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury are not seen, they are not really understood, and often, they are overlooked," USO President Sloan Gibson said. "We hope our new Public Service Announcement, and its companion website, www.usoinvisiblewounds.org, raises awareness of the problems and offers a way to learn about the challenges these heroes and their families face as they return home."
The series is done in a documentary style and features five veterans and one spouse sharing intimate details of how post traumatic stress has affected their lives. It's believed that more than 300,000 troops suffer from invisible wounds. The "Portraits" series allows Americans to learn more about how this problem challenges our veterans and also what they can do to help.
The PSA -- which began airing on TV and radio stations in January -- can be found online at www.usoinvisiblewounds.org.
The USO opened its newest center serving troops at war -- Bagram East, at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan -- in order to accommodate more than 20,000 troops assigned to Bagram as well as the thousands of troops transitioning through the airfield.
The center's grand opening took place February 6. It's the ninth USO center in Afghanistan, and sits across Bagram Airfield from the Pat Tillman Memorial USO.
With 14 computers, free WiFi, and 18 private phone stations for free calls to anywhere in the United States, troops can easily connect with friends and family back home. The center also has nine video gaming stations, a 40-seat movie theater, a coffee bar, music room, a library and a card-playing area.
Check out photos of the new Bagram East Center.
The USO received a tremendous honor February 13, when President Barack Obama presented the National Medal of Arts to the USO for its 71 years of entertaining America's troops.
"We are humbled by the president's recognition of our mission to lift the spirits of troops and their families through exceptional entertainment around the world," USO President Sloan Gibson said. "Most importantly, we have never done this alone. From our celebrity friends who have worked with us over the years, our military and corporate partners, and our hard-working entertainment staff, we all share in this honor."
It is the only time in the medal's 28-year history that it has been awarded to a military charity.
In 2011, the USO deployed 136 celebrity entertainers on 83 tours to 25 countries and 19 states.
The award proclamation reads: "The 2011 National Medal of Arts to United Service Organizations for lifting the spirits of service members and their families through the arts. The USO continues to support members of our Armed Forces by bringing iconic American artists to share the sights and sounds of home with troops stationed around the world."
Read the full story and watch a video of the National Medal of Arts ceremony.
The first USO Warrior and Family Center is coming to life.
The USO -- along with partners Huffman Development, Cusimano Associates and STUDIOS Architecture -- selected Scott Long Construction to build the center in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Earth moving at the site began January 9. The center is being funded by the USO's Operation Enduring Care, a campaign to help wounded, ill and injured troops and their families and caregivers.
Learn more about Operation Enduring Care and give today.
Service men and women throughout the Middle East came in droves to see Army General Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff --and a quartet of celebrities -- on his first USO holiday tour in December.
Singer Jordin Sparks, actress and model Minka Kelly, seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry and comedian Thomas "Nephew Tommy" Miles joined Dempsey on the five-country tour.
"As the son of a former soldier, I know too well the sacrifice our troops and their families make each and every day they put on their uniform," Horry said. "It is an honor for me to participate in this USO tour and accompany General Dempsey as he makes his way abroad to visit troops."
The group visited troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Germany.
"General Dempsey's USO holiday tour has been nothing short of amazing," said Kelly, who also visited Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on a USO tour in 2008. "Everyone I have met and spent time with [is] extraordinary."
See photos from the tour with comments from all of the celebrities.
Barb Troegner understands what it's like to show up in an airport needing a place to rest.The programs and marketing manager of USO Hawaii was once on the other side of the desk, traveling with her own military family. Now, it's her turn to give back.
"[The best part is] seeing the smiles of the volunteers, the smiles of the recipients of whomever we are able to support and the smiles of the donors that support USO," she said. "I believe that giving something always helps a person feel better. At the USO, we give our time to make things easier for those that serve us."
Troegner has a background in education, earning a bachelor's degree in 1975 from the College of St. Elizabeth in Morristown, New Jersey, before working in various schools during her career.
But she always knew she'd repay her early experience with the USO.
"As a traveling military family, we often used the USOs," she said. "I made a promise to myself that I would give back to the USO. After working at the Oahu Veterans Center, the opportunity to volunteer with the USO presented itself and led me to eventually become a full-time staff member."
Her positive work in the community doesn't end when she goes home. Troegner is a member of the Military Youth Advisory Council, vice chair of the Radford High School Community Council, a member of the Kamehameha Lions Club, a board member of the Lions Club Foundation, and secretary of International Ballroom Dance, Inc.

Great gift idea.I brought this for my grandson when he was 3 years old and he loved playing with it. Now, the young grandchildren of friends come over and love playing with it. They like putting the cars on the ramp and they especially like that it talks to them when you press a button. Great idea for a gift. It's very sturdy also.
Cars and learningThis is a great learning toy for any kid who is learning his colors and numbers. All little boys love playing with cars, so this toy makes the learning fun! It can recognize what color car is on it, and also how many cars are on it. It has different quizzes/games then reinforces the kids when they do the action. My two year old son loves to play with it, and I love that he's learning while he plays!

The Hairy legged girl hiding in the bushes
Monday, February 22, 2010
When I heard the title, I think I actually threw up a little in my mouth. Then I did a "NO she didn't" type of a jaw drop. I very well may be over reacting, but it just rubbed me the wrong way.
The title of the book was "The Submissive Wife".
Before I go any further, let me explain. I'm a feminist. But, not the kind of feminist that the world describes. I think feminism has gotten a bad wrap. There are those feminists that burn their bras, don't shave and are total man haters for impregnating us with their nasty man seed.
I'm not one of those.
Simply put: Feminism is an intellectual, philosophical and political discourse aimed at equal rights and legal protection for women.
I think that most women would agree that they deserve to be treated equally.
When I heard the title of that book, it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
I understand that it probably is a poorly titled book, but that word triggers my gag-reflex. Mostly because in the worldly definition of submissive it means that someone else is imposing their will and worldly definitions on me. (aka June Cleaver)
I do believe that God created me to be equal to Jefe-- his partner, and that we walk side by side-- not his servant. The wordly definition makes me feel like I shouldn't have my own thoughts, feelings or ideas, and I really believe that--me not having ideas or thoughts outside of marriage or child-rearing-- goes against what God had intended.
While I do believe that I have a purpose here on earth-- to create life, nurture life and grow people-- I don't believe that God intended that to be my only purpose. I have ideas, thoughts and talents that I believe he wanted me to cultivate and grow. Not hide away under a bushel .
The reason for this post is this:
Thing 1 asked me recently if I "believed all that crap". When I probed further, she wanted to know if I really believed that my only purpose here in life was to make babies, clean toilets, change diapers, do laundry and cook meals.
She had been told by another adult that being a wife and mother was all she was meant to do-- that to be a good wife and good mother meant she needed to submit her ideas, wants, desires, goals and likes to those of her spouse.
That really made her angry and she wanted answers.
(yes. she was totally taught this.)
Her question really took me off guard and I had to ponder it for a while.
I went back to her later and told her that No. I don't believe all that "Crap" . I don't believe that my only purpose in life is to simply be someone's servant-- cleaning, cooking, changing diapers. Nor was it my "duty" to change who God intended me to be and like only the things that my spouse liked.
I told her that I believe that Heavenly Father has made it so we, as women, can do and be anything we want.
I told her that we live in a time where we truly can have it all, it just doesn't have to be all right now, at the exact same time. We have a lifetime to become, to evolve.
And, that is the greatest blessing that feminism has offered us women-- The right to choose.
I chose to give up a successful career. I turned down my dream job to get married. I was given the chance to choose, and I did.
I CHOSE to be where I am today, and it makes me happy. I told her that I know that Heavenly Father intends for me to make the most of my life-- using my intelligence, my creativity, my mothering and my spirituality-- and to help better the lives of those around me.
Blazing feminists made it possible for me to choose, and I thank them.
Do I burn my bra?
The girls are entirely too big to go au naturel.

(bisons.com) - Jim Negrych didn't even need to swing the bat to help the Buffalo Bisons get their fifth straight win.
He was to pinch hit for Clint Robinson in a 1-1 game with two outs and the bases loaded in the 10th against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs at Coca-Cola Park. But when he was scheduled to be in the batter's box to hit, he was still in the dugout scrambling to assemble the gear he thought he wouldn't need Thursday night.
The Buffalo native soon departed from the dugout, bat in hand, putting his helmet to his head. Negrych took a few practice hacks and then set in to try and break the tie. He did, but those practice swings and quick preparation turned out to just be precautions, in case he had a pitch to hit.
Mauricio Robles walked Negrych on four pitches, giving him credit for the game-winning RBI in an eventual 4-1 victory in 10 innings in the first game of a two-game series with the IronPigs. The Herd drew four walks in the frame, leading to three runs to break the close game.
The next at-bat, Mike McCoy walked to plate Brett Lawrie, who finished 0 for 4 in his third game as part of his MLB rehab assignment with a sprained left ankle. Andy LaRoche, who had two hits, also scored on a wild pitch to cap of the inning.
The 10th inning embodied Buffalo's patience at the plate all night, as Lehigh Valley starter Raul Valdes was forced out of the game after five innings not because he was pitching poorly, but he hurled 97 pitches and went to five full counts. The Bisons drew seven walks in the contest, led by McCoy's three.
On the Bisons' side, Thad Weber continued a string of solid pitching from Buffalo starters.
With allowing one run on seven hits over six innings, the righty made it the Herd's seventh quality start in eight games. And though he didn't go seven innings after doing so in each of his last three starts, he lowered a starting staff ERA that was at 3.21 since July 4 entering the game.
Over that span, with Weber's five strikeouts and one walk, starters have recorded 42 punch outs compared to just six walks.
Weber's outing wasn't smooth sailing from start to finish, however.
Weber was able to avoid an early deficit in the second inning. Leandro Castro reached on a LaRoche error and proceeded to showcase his speed, swiping second and third with no outs. But Weber got Steve Susdorf to go down swinging, Michael Martinez to ground out to second while Lawrie held Castro at third and Cameron Rupp to end the threat with a fly out to center.
In the fourth, the IronPigs saw another glorious opportunity to take a lead slip by when Weber again pitched into and out of trouble.
Cody Asche and Cody Overbeck led off with singles and after Castro struck out, Susdorf walked to load the bases. Weber then induced an inning-ending 4-6-3 double play off the bat of Martinez to get himself out of another jam.
The Bisons were able to cash in when they got runners in scoring position in the fifth. With a two-out RBI single to center, Kevin Pillar, who had two hits, gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead and extended his on- base streak. The outfielder has reached base in all 21 games he has played in at the Triple-A level.
That lead could have been more if not for a nice defensive play earlier in the inning. On a very close play, McCoy was thrown out at the plate by Tyson Gillies when trying to score from second on a Sean Ochinko one-out single to left.
The only run Weber allowed was a solo home run by Asche in the sixth, which tied the game.

Yes, for example a school could be on one island and the kid's house could be on another. So the child would have to take a boat ride for about 20mins to get to his/her school. If the sea is stormy then it is a day off for the student.

Sorry I didnt realise I posted this twice!
i don't even know what Ettobright is talkin about, i don't even see how u could take a boat 2 school
It is the very north of the uk that use this method i.e. Orkney islands.
I wish I took a boat to school. in america we only take buses and cars nothing like a boat.
for american's we have the fourth of july do you have anything like that?
it is extremely rare that someone would take a boat to school, literaly about 1 in 10,000
You have 4th of July in america, we have 5th November where fireworks are set off
cool what is the 5th celebrateing?
5th of November is when we have all the firework displays
yes but what for
Bonfire night, if u wanna know more google Guy Fawkes
thanks I was wondering do you guys have something like the super bowl? it's an american football game where the two best teams play off for the title of best in the nation?
What is the most prominent church/religion in Britian? Like Is it Anglican, Catholic, or whatever.
Also do people in Britian like Amercian stuff as much as we tend to like British stuff? For instance, almost everyone I know likes or has heard of "Monty Python", "Keeping up apperances", "The Beatles" and other British shows, music and culture, and we are interested in the Royal family and even just how British peple eat, dress and whatever, and most Americans I know think Britan is really cool, like we have Union Jack t-shirts in our malls and stuff. Do people in Britian, really like our shows like ("Saturday Night live" sort of American Monty Python I guess), our music , (like country for example), our history and our lifestyles? Do British people think our accents are cool? I know this is long-winded, but basically, Do British people find us and our culture as cool and interesting as we seem to find them?
Hey loveshuan19
I have a question too.(For british)
Is Falty Towers popular in Britian?
Have you even herd of it
a) In Britain, we aren't as big on religion as the US however, the most frequently followed religion is probably Christianity.
b) For the second question, although I can't speak from everyone's perspective, in my opinion, American Culture really does interest me! We also watch a lot of US TV shows (Drama & Comedy shows as opposed to say live shows like The Jimmy Kimmel show, Saturday Night Live.etc) and even though American History isn't a part of the curriculum, you can study it as a choice when you go to college (16-18 ). One day, I'd love to move to Santa Monica, LA!
I am a HUGE fan of Faulty Towers (I am pretty sure I have all of the series on DVD)! Is it popular in the US?
Is Fawlty Towers popular? MY GOD YESS ITS A CLASSIC YOU CAN'T NOT HAVE HEARD OF IT.
We do watch a lot of US TV such as drama and comedy like joshy said. In particular, shows like House, Grey's Anatomy and Law and Order do well as well as comedies like modern family, and Scrubs.
GLB, what a lovely suprise it is to see you! It's been a while! What have you been up to recently? (Sorry to stray off topic)
Falty towers is not at all know about in the US(at least as far as I know) I only know because my dad's from England and has shown me some of the episoeds. THEIR ARE SO FUNNY!!!!
Hey JOSHAY!!!! Its lovely to see you to! I've been real busy at uni which has been takign its toll on me :/ ugh
kill me now But other than that i've been planning ideas for some animations I may do in the summer! How have you been??!!?!
ARC-1999816- We love John Cleese over here. He is a legend of comedy, one of the classics, but we dont have that many good ones now. Miranda is good though, she's kinda similar tosoem classic slapstick
It's been pretty hectic at college so I haven't really had many chances to make models. I made this a few days ago though:
Thanks for answering my questions. And I've watched Fawlty Towers ( Love it! ) and I think most Americans know of the show even if they haven't watched it, because it seems that John Cleese is the most well known over here of the " Monty Python " group.
i am from England, but once when i was on holiday in New York, and there was an advert for Fawlty Towers so it must be quite well known in America
oh intresting. I've never seen that advert before. Thanks wallce05man
well then is the show Jeeves and Wooster pouplar thier as well?(did I spell that right)
Not in Britain
WOW I really didn't see that coming. It is a british show. well atleast I know now.
so what in america is really popular in britian, but you can't find or do it it in britian?
Well there must be lots of things but many American tv shows and films etc. are very popular in Britain, some of my favourite tV shows are American
Jeeves and Wooster isn't popular in Britian? That's odd, I would have thought that it would be, Anyway I like it fairly well. Do any of you like " Keeping Up appearances?" My Father has just gotten that series for Christmas, and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
Yes I love that series. I love last of the summer wine as well.
This is out of the blue but The Gurhkas in the brithish army are they well known throught Britian?(Bridge of Gurhkas is what it might be better known as)
Ummm I don't know if they're well known here...I haven't heard of them...I'm kinda stupid though
Im sure many people know of them but they're not that well known
What you gotta to be kidding me their only the best military opertives ever!!!!
I have a question. I have started watching the show the inbetweeners. I was wanting to know if life for teenage boys in the uk is anything like what they portray?
well, some things are the same
Hey Techno, can you add me to TMC because every time I try to open the thread, my computer freezes.
Ye sure thing
Thank you

An era will likely come to an end when concession stands and a restaurant at Acadia National Park close for the season later this fall. Since 1933, a local company, Acadia Corporation, has run these businesses inside the park. But earlier this month, the National Park Service chose not to renew the firm's contract, offering it instead to a concessioner based in New Mexico. As Jay Field reports, officials with Acadia Corp say they're disappointed by the move and question whether an out-of-state operator will be as committed to hiring local people and sourcing local products.
It's a little after ten in the morning - misty, foggy - and a group is arriving on the lawn at the Jordan Pond House. A New England tour group is filing in and taking seats at picnic tables.
"We're in a glacial valley, looking out on perfect twin peaks at the end of a glacial lake that's over 200-feet deep. It's just a pristine spot," says Dave Woodside.
Woodside says visitors and locals first began enjoying meals at Jordan Pond House in the late 1800s. The company Woodside runs, Acadia Corporation, began serving meals here in 1948, 15 years after it opened its first park concession atop Cadillac Mountain.
In 1998, Congress passed a law requiring operators like Acadia to renew their contracts every 10 years. The company had expected to hear something on its latest application back in the spring.
"We kept wondering what was going to happen," Woodside says. "And then we got the call last Monday that our contract was not going to be renewed."
Beginning next year, the Jordan Pond House and Acadia National Park's other concessions will be run by Dawnland LLC, a New Mexico-based firm. Two-thirds of Acadia Corp's revenues come from its businesses inside the park. At the height of the summer, the company typically employs around 200 people, 120 of whom work inside Acadia's grounds. The company also buys much of its food and merchandise wholesale from local vendors.
"We expect to downsize in our out-of-park, Bar Harbor operations to less than 50 people," Woodside says. "It's a half-million dollars in salaries alone because we are based here. It's just the difference between a local company and a company where most of the decisions are made somewhere else, by people who are not here."
Woodside says his company has had good relationships with Acadia's superintendent and other local park administrators. But they don't play a role in the contracting process. "The 1998 Concessions Act changed the selection process a little bit."
Jon Meade runs business services for the Northeast Region of the National Park Service. Meade says companies submit applications, which are graded on criteria such as protecting natural cultural resources, value to the visitor and the financial capability of the applicant. A panel of park service officials vote on all the bids and award the contract to the one that gets the highest score.
Meade says he can't offer specifics on why Dawnland was chosen instead of Acadia Corp, "because we are still developing the contract for that winning bid. There's some information about the other offers and the scores, and the information around that that we can't release right now."
Dawnland LLC, meantime, says it's committed to rehiring Acadia Corp's employees and working with area food suppliers and other vendors. Shane Ortega runs Dawnland's parent company, Ortega National Parks.
"Although I acknowledge that talk is cheap, the previous locations that we have taken over, we've had a good history of offering employment to everybody who has been working there before," Ortega says. "Not just offering them employment, but paying them a little bit more than they were paid before because it's the right thing to do a lot of the time."
But workers at Acadia Corp say they'll need to see that to believe it. Gabriele Martina works in the restaurant at Jordan Pond House. "I don't think I would have a job for very long here," she says.
National Park Service contracts that are greater than $5 million need to be approved by Congress. Acadia Corp officials say they've been talking with members of Maine's congressional delegation to see if there's anything they can do to get the National Park Service to reconsider its decision.

Read: The Push For 56 Games
In the NY Times, Ken Belson and Jeff Klein write that the best hope for a season will likely include 56 games being played.
They write that many teams are desperate for revenue as they have had to repay season ticket holders and sponsors or work out arrangements for free food, parking and other events at the arena.
In terms of the Rangers, who share MSG with the Knicks and many concerts, they say that with the transformation going on they need to start bringing in the Rangers revenue.
In terms of sponsors, they say that any season that features fewer than 62 games allows them to pay the NHL a prorated percentage of the money they would normally pay under an 82 game season.
56 games would net the NHL 68% of what they would get in a season with 82 games and a 50 game schedule would net the NHL 61%.
In closing they write, "The league and its owners realize that the window for even a truncated season is narrowing, one more reason to believe a deal with the players may be struck sooner rather than later."

|Watuaga Junior Legion Earns Split
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Friday, 10 June 2011 08:34
The Watauga Junior Legion A Team opened the 2011 season spliting a doube-header with West Caldwell Thursday night at Pioneer Field.West won the opener 6-1 in seven innings; Watauga (1-1) rallied to win the night-cap, 8-4. Tyler Shuford had a marvelous performance on the mound in the opener. The youngster gave up one earned run on five hits and struck out four men. But had a no-decision for his efforts. He also drove in Watauga's only run.
In game two, Matt Byrum had two hits, a walk and drove in three runs to spark the offense as the Watauga prevailed and handed Bradley Rudisill his first career head-coaching win. Watauga scored four times in the first, one run in the third and three more times in the fourth to settle the issue.
"We did all right for our first time out," Rudisill said. "Our goal is just to keep getting better. The guys struggled a little bit early, but once things settled down, I thought we played pretty well."
Jesse Illich had three hits in the two games; Tripp Taylor got the win in relief in game two and Shawn Buchhiet, though he had a no-decision in the second game, pitched well enough. He gave up two earned runs with three strikeouts in four innings.
The Watauga A Team entertains Valdese Monday night at Pioneer Field. That DH begins at 5:30 pm.
The Watauga B Team, coached by Dustin Kerley, makes its debut Saturday in Marion against McDowell. That DH begins at 12 noon.

Is Mangano's RFQ Dead?
Late last night Newsday posted a report on Ed Mangano's newest effort to find a solution to the Coliseum property, a Request for Qualifications of developers which was released early this month. According to Newsday the RFQ is due by Monday, at which time we should know if any of Long Island's developers want to attempt a project on the property. Judging by the responses elicited in the story, there may be few if any developers who submitted an RFQ.
The story quoted half a dozen of Long Island's biggest developers — some we know all too well (Scott Rechler and the ABLI trio of Burman, Polimeni and Blumenfeld) and some we dont — but all were either coy about their interest of flat out uninterested in the RFQ.
Jan Burman, who you may remember from such proposals as ABLI's anti-referendum campaign and a failed bid for the property that was defeated by the Lighthouse Project, has what seems to me like a pretty accurate viewpoint on the whole ordeal:
"Until Charles Wang makes up his mind and decides what he's going to do, I think it's all political posturing on both sides," said Garden City developer Jan Burman, who bid on a county redevelopment proposal in 2005, but is undecided about the new request. "He really has the keys to the car," he said of Wang. "The most important guy is not in the room."
We've said on this blog before that both republican Mangano's RFQ and democrat Jay Jacob's crazy pants, attention whoring idea were both politically motivated to save face for their side. Now, we've got someone directly involved in the situation basically spelling it out for us.
To review, here's what we've got:
- Charles Wang is fed up with everything and likely going to sit on his hands. He had previously set a deadline of 12/31/12 to get a deal done. His understandable inaction may stall the entire process until the Islanders either move or decide to stay (the latter can't happen without a new Coliseum, so it seems like we're going in circles here).
- Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano put forth an RFQ which may or may not work and was likely done to save face.
- Nassau County democratic leader Jay Jacobs is stirring the pot.
- No one wants to deal with the Town of Hempstead and it's zoning requirements that make it impossible to build anything significant on the property. Today's article said as much, but got it straight from developers:
[Jericho developer Mark Hamer] and others also noted that no one has found a way to make money if they have to build or renovate an arena while following Hempstead Town's mixed-use zoning code, which limits the number of housing units that can be built.
- As today's article states, a lot of developers are staying away although it remains to be seen if anyone will respond to the RFQ. One big player who did not comment on his direction regarding the RFQ was former Lighthouse developer Scott Rechler. Rechler could be a wild card.

Using Microsoft Tag, new company VenueCast found a way to improve what 76% of music lovers say is the worst part of the concert-going experience: the boring in-between set times when bands are setting up for the next act.
With the goal of delivering on-demand digital entertainment to concert audiences, VenueCast has created a variety of entertaining video ads combining music, video, and marketing for concert venues to show during these concert downtimes. While one band is tearing down and the next is setting up, the audience can view commercials and band videos, and scan an on-screen Tag to download free MP3s, follow their favorite bands on Facebook or Twitter, and even get special deals on merchandise or future events.
VenueCast is aimed at the smartphone-savvy demographic of 18- to 25-year-olds, so Tag is the perfect tool to connect concertgoers with unique online content. Sponsors for VenueCast content include retail chains, record labels, clothing brands, energy drinks, fast food, consumer electronics, car manufacturers, movie studios, and nonprofits. With the bright color schemes and ability to customize the image with eye-catching graphics like album art, Tag has a real advantage over other barcode solutions, whether it's linking to band or advertiser content.

Twilight (Twilight Saga #1)by Stephenie Meyer
Staff Pick
Moving to a small, dreary town is enough to cause angst in any teen, but for Isabella Swan, angst is only the beginning. Soon she's falling in love with Edward, the quintessential dark, handsome guy, who just happens to be a vampire. This is the perfect pleasure read for the dusky days of fall. This series (the sequel is New Moon) will give you goose bumps.
"Twilight is fantastic. It's a page-turner that pops out a lurching, frightening ending I never saw coming. It's also the first book that seemed at long last to rekindle something of the girl-reader in me. In fact, there were times when the novel — no work of literature, to be sure, no school for style; hugged mainly to the slender chests of very young teenage girls, whose regard for it is on a par with the regard with which just yesterday they held Hannah Montana — stirred something in me so long forgotten that I felt embarrassed by it." Caitlin Flanagan, The Atlantic Monthly (read the entire Atlantic Monthly review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balanced precariously on the point of a knife — between desire and danger.
Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
"Meyer's description of the lovers' emotions is palpable, and readers will be drawn into the couple's spiraling dance, feeling the intense longing that comes from being a hair's breadth away from the thing you want most in the world." KLIATT
"Realistic, subtle, succinct, and easy to follow, Twilight will have readers dying to sink their teeth into it." School Library Journal
"For older teens, this is a predictable love story laced with adventure and vampirism." Hornbook Guide to Children
The third book in the phenomenal New York Times bestselling series is now in paperback!
Calla has always welcomed war. But now that the final battle is upon her, there's more at stake than fighting. There's saving Ren, even if it incurs Shay's wrath. There's keeping her brother, Ansel, safe, even if he's been branded a traitor. There's proving herself as the pack's alpha, facing unnamable horrors, and ridding the world of the Keepers' magic once and for all. And then there's deciding what to do when the war ends. If Calla makes it out alive, that is.
As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because... he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonises over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.
About the Author
Meyer holds masters' degree in education and social work and has dedicated her life to the welfare of youth.

FORT DRUM The post said Sunday morning that its commissary will not reopen until Tuesday.
That is a change from the posts previous announcement that the store would reopen Sunday.
In a statement on its Facebook page Sunday morning, the post said the Defense Commissary Agency underestimated the amount of time it would take to get workers back to the store and to restock the shelves.
The store normally is closed Mondays.

A trio of top underclassman receivers announced Thursday that they would enter the NFL Draft.
Texas A&M sophomore Mike Evans, along with juniors Brandin Cooks of Oregon State and Allen Robinson of Penn State announced their intention to forego their remaining college eligibility.
Evans' decision is hardly a surprise. Reports surfaced late last week that he and A&M quarterback Johnny Maniel would be turning pro.
In two seasons with the Aggies, the 6-foot-5, 218-pound Evans caught 151 passes for 2,499 yards and 17 touchdowns. He averaged more than 20 yards per reception this season.
Cooks (5-10, 186) the 2013 Biletnikoff Award winner, led the nation with 1,730 receiving yards. He is second in receptions (128) and receiving touchdowns (16).
Robinson (6-3, 210), the Big Ten receiver of the year each of the past two seasons, caught 97 passes 1,432 and six touchdowns in 2013. He ranks second in receptions (177) and third in receiving yardage (2,474) on Penn State's all-time lists.
"It was a great honor to play at Penn State," Robinson said in a release. "I am blessed to have played with, and for, the people in the Penn State football program.
"This is a decision that I believe is best for my family and I, and I wish all the best to the University and all my teammates."
Robinson is projected as a first-round selection.

The M.Div. academic curriculum (except for M.Div. Counseling) includes the required two-hour course, PT 111 Orientation to Ministry. This course introduces Mentored Ministry and is a prerequisite for any approved field experience.
The M.Div. candidate must complete four units of Mentored Ministry to qualify for the degree. The four units must be completed before the end of December in the academic year the student expects to graduate. Several formats are available. The units may be taken concurrently during the academic year, during summer, or as a year-long internship. For students in the M.Div. Counseling program, the Mentored Ministry will ordinarily occur in a counseling setting, primarily in a local church. It is strongly recommended that at least one unit be completed in a cultural setting different from the student's own.
The M.Div. student must participate in at least two integration seminars. These are semester-long weekly sessions of one hour each in which no more than 12 students meet with faculty to analyze and discuss the actual ministry experience of the participants. The seminars are offered each semester and are not assigned academic credit. However, each student must participate in two seminars to complete the requirements of Mentored Ministry.
The Mentored Ministry Experience for M.Div. Counseling program students will ordinarily occur in a counseling setting. It is strongly recommended that at least one unit be completed in a cultural setting different from the student's own. A limited number of internships are available at CCEF each year. Although priority consideration for CCEF internships will be given, CCEF cannot guarantee counseling internships to each M.Div. Counseling student.
A biblical understanding of wisdom prevents us from separating knowing and doing, learning and practice. Wisdom unites the facets of knowledge, character, and skill. It results from academic learning and practical experience when accompanied by supervision and self-examination. Candidates for the M.Div. degree are therefore required to participate in mentored field experience in ministry. All arrangements for Mentored Ministry requirements are handled through the Mentored Ministry Office. See the Mentored Ministry section of Westminster's website for all Mentored Ministry forms.
One unit of Mentored Ministry credit is received for 100-120 hours of mentored field experience under an approved mentor. Units of Mentored Ministry are not assigned credit hours and no grades are given. Approval for any unit may be withheld by the Director of Mentored Ministry if ministry proposals are not fulfilled or if evaluations and other requirements are not completed by prescribed dates.
No credit may be given for ministry experience prior to matriculation at Westminster. Transfer credit for up to two units of Mentored Ministry may be given to students who transfer from other seminaries with approved programs of mentored field experience.
M.Div. candidates are strongly encouraged to take Evangelism Explosion training for one unit of credit in the Mentored Ministry program. One unit of credit in the program also can be given for successful completion of the Sonship course available through World Harvest Mission. Also, one credit unit can be received by serving on campus as a Mentored Ministry Partner to incoming international students. Upon completion, the student must submit a statement reflecting on the implications of this program for ministry in the church and in the world. The Mentored Ministry Office will seek to make such training opportunities accessible.
All M.Div. students must take the same core courses as follows:
Recommended & suggested schedules for the M.Div. programs and the Hebrew and Greek language tracks are provided in the links below. While it is possible for some students to complete the program in three years, it is recommended that students plan to complete the degree in four years due to course loads, work, family and church obligations. Students should consult with the Registrar's Office before deviating from these sample schedules.

I have read that exercises like squats and bench press work a number of muscle groups. I really have limited time at the gym, and I'm trying to build an exercise routine that is as efficient as possible. What are the most efficient exercises that target the majority of muscle groups.
I'm a fan of the following progression(1), which is the simplest I've seen that hits all the major movements (press, pull, squat, hinge). The beauty of the workout is that each exercise warms up the next one. It goes like so, adding weight to the bar both between and within each step:
Between 2 and 3, you could add a few squats from a rack if your squat is much stronger than your clean.
The last time I did this, I power clean and pressed 45 pounds as a warm-up, then 95, then 120 or so. Then I power clean and front squatted 145 or so, then 200 or so. Then I deadlifted in the 300s before doing three sets of chin-ups.
I get the "major movements" from an amalgam of the work of Mark Rippetoe and Dan John, the latter of whom might recommend adding a farmer's walk finisher to the end of the workout. (He sees carries as another fundamental movement.) I figure that squatting, deadlifting, pressing, and chinning covers all the basics of lifting. The rest of human movement (or "targeting" other "muscle groups") can come from sports or running.
In terms of muscles worked, which I think is a red herring in this endeavor, you're hitting everything. Squats work almost everything in your body, as do deadlifts, and anything they miss, the presses and chins should get. As far as I know, these exercises require the broadest swath of our body.
1 - On second thought, this may be more explicitly cribbed from Dan John's book with Pavel than I initially recalled. Will have to check.
There are really only 2 movements: PUSH and PULL.
These two movements are then broken down into mostly 2 different planes: Vertical and Horizontal.
They look like this:
Vertical push: Overhead press
Vertical pull: Chinup/pullup
Horizontal push: Bench press or pushup
Horizontal pull: Rows
Vertical push: Squat
Vertical pull: Deadlift
If you do all these movements, you will no stone unturned. What is best (and most efficient) is to do antagonistic pairing (ie opposing movements in the same plane). If you are really short on time, do tri sets with a lower body exercise (squats or deadlifts) thrown in there as well.
I've got a routine I can finish within 5 minutes + time spent waiting for the squat rack.
I've usually done the following order, Squat > Overhead Press > Deadlift > Chin Ups, but other orders could work as well. The squat and deadlift by themselves already target the majority of muscles, the overhead press and chin ups have a lot of overlap but use the muscles differently (there's a good mix of pulling and pushing with those 4).
I do 1 work set of 5 reps, where 5 reps is usually the max I can handle at that weight (going up 5lbs per week initially for the press, 10lbs for the squat, 15lbs for the deadlift, and as many reps as possible in one set for chin ups), with each work set preceded by 1, and occasionally 2 warmup sets of 5 with ~40%-60% of my work weight.
I had quite good results with just that, and I don't think it gets more efficient than 5 minutes, once per week.

It was no surprise to see a rebuttal to my recent column from my friend Terry Goldman, as I know Mr. Goldman as someone who enjoys rhetorical sparring nearly as much as I do. Unfortunately, this time around, he apparently forgot to employ a fact checker.
Contrary to Mr. Goldman's assertion, the current referendum, initiative and recall process had absolutely nothing to do with the public vote on Ordinance 529; that vote was initiated by the county council in December 2006, just six months after the same Council selected the first Trinity Place developer, the Boyer company. The vote on Ordinance 529 followed on Jan. 30, 2007, passing by a 7 percent margin. The first Trinity Place deal did not collapse until nearly two years after that vote. The blame for that fiasco rests squarely on the shoulders of the developer and the county — not on any citizen-initiated action.

Read: A Report On Micheal Haley
Yesterday the Rangers signed former Islander Michale Haley to a two-year deal.
I asked SNY's Kevin Schultz, of Islanders Point Blank, to give me a report on Haley and the kind of player that he is.
"He's a bit undersized for a fighter but will take on anyone and can hold his ground against most anyone. I'd compare him to a Tasmanian Devil who gets wound up and flies around the ice. A lot of Islander fans clamor for him to be on the NHL roster because of this fun-to-watch mentality and because he "can actually play." That's a very broad definition though as he's a .5 ppg player in the AHL and his only comparable on the roster at the time was Trevor Gillies, who literally couldn't do anything other than fight. It's easy to say one player can play hockey when the other is a heavyweight boxer on skates. "
He adds, "Ranger fans should love Haley and he's a middleweight NHL fighter who isn't afraid of anyone. But skill wise, he's an AHL player through and through. The Islanders called him up to give him a shot during a long losing streak last October. He provided a bit of a spark emotionally but eventually found his way to playing small minutes on the fourth line as the coaching staff found out he wasn't a player you can give regular shifts to."

Graduation And Beyond
Answers To Students' FAQ
14. I'm approaching graduation, and I'm not sure what kind of job I should seek. What should I do next?
Begin by going to Student Services. They can provide you with scholarship information, graduate school advice, and information about job opportunities in the area. Department advisors are also available to discuss this sort of concern.
15. I'm approaching graduation, and I'm not sure what to do next. How do I decide whether to go to graduate school?
Meet with one of the faculty members designated as advisors right away. Contact them by email to request an appointment. In your message, be sure to include days and times that you are available.
16. I'm thinking about going to graduate school in philosophy. What should I do, and when?
You are strongly encouraged to discuss any prospective graduate school plans with a member of the faculty at least three semesters prior to your expected graduation. Professors Press and Acampora have presented workshops for students considering graduate school. Their notes and tips are available on-line, and both are available to discuss these matters with interested students.
17. I'm a philosophy major, but I'm thinking about going to graduate school in a different area. What should I do?
You should first learn more about the specific programs in which you're interested. You can do that by exploring different schools on the Internet and by consulting with advisors in the Hunter department that is most closely related to the subject you wish to pursue. Your Philosophy advisors may be able to suggest particular programs for you to investigate and direct you to other resources.
18. I need a letter of recommendation. Will the Philosophy Department supply one?
Letters of recommendation are written by individual faculty members. Students should speak with faculty members with whom they have taken courses to request such letters. It is advisable that you plan ahead for these circumstances.
Recommendations for graduate school, for example, should be sought at least three months prior to when you need to submit your application. If you anticipate needing letters of recommendation for scholarships, graduate school applications, or employment purposes, get to know your faculty members during your stay at Hunter and visit them during their office hours.

Several months ago, I was introduced to the wonderful line of products from The Baby Bunch and I have been hooked ever since. I just love the fact that each gift from The Baby Bunch is both practical in use and beautiful in design. Whether you are looking for a baby shower gift, a newborn baby gift or a just because gift, The Baby Bunch has you covered!
After the birth of their son, Bryony and Simon developed The Baby Bunch because they wanted to create a gift that was attractive yet useful for baby. The end result was the Classic Baby Bunch. Available in pink, yellow and blue, The Classic Baby Bunch offers practical items that are beautifully displayed. Made of 100% cotton, The Medium Bunch contains one bib, one t-shirt, one hat, two pairs of socks, and two one-pieces. The Large Baby Bunch includes a bib, t-shirt, two hats, one pair of mitts, two burp cloths, two pairs of socks, one one-piece and a romper.
While they may have started out with The Classic Bunch, The Baby Bunch has definitely upped the ante over the years with their new items like the Organic Baby Bunches, Cupcake Baby Sets and their Mother's Gift Bunches. In fact, I wouldn't mind finding the Kitchen Bunch under our Christmas tree this year!
In the spirit of the holidays, The Baby Bunch generously sent me the Winter Bunch to review. The Winter Bunch is a classic Baby Bunch filled with snowy white garments designed to keep a baby girl or baby boy toasty and warm.
