By C.J. McMANUSSun Advocate reporter
Undefeated since mid-June, the Helper American Legion boys of summer are riding a hot streak heading into the state tournament.
After sweeping their final two games at home over the weekend, Helper also secured the top seed in their half of the Utah American Legion Baseball playoff bracket.
On Friday night, Helper pounded Olympus, jumping on the rival squad 8-0 after just three innings of play. Helper added two more in the fifth for a final of 10-3. Strong pitching by starter Jordan Mellen and Dakota Cisneros held the Olympus offense in check.
"We started the game playing very good defense but we made five errors after the fourth inning and that is what allowed Olympus their runs," said Helper Head Coach Jeff Cisneros. "Our bats were hot and cold all game."
Mellen led the offensive attack with a pair of doubles and a single. Ridge Nielson and Tyler Procarione also had two singles. Helper made the most of their eight hits on the night, going to 13-1 in league action.
Saturday afternoon, the squad hosted Judge to make up a game which had been rained out Thursday evening. Helper pulled out a big 4-2 win behind strong pitching, timely hitting and tough defense.
"This was a very good game as both teams played very solid," said Cisneros. "Our bats were pretty quiet and Judge's pitcher did a good job keeping us off balance."
Judge held a 1-0 lead going into the third, before Dakota Cisneros tied the game with an RBI single in the bottom half.
The score remained knotted until the fifth when the Helper bats erupted for three big runs. Jaren McCourt led off the inning with a solo homer, before Nielson plated two more runs with a late single.
Derek Young had a good day at the plate collecting a pair of singles and a double en route to Helper's final league win. The local squad finished 14-1 in Salt Lake Valley play and is 22-2 heading into their final regular season double-header.

Aging is something everyone around the world must face. Each year time ticks by and changes take place - some good, some less desirable.
Certain common fears arise over and over in studies conducted about the fear of aging.Whether it's fruitful or not, people tend to worry more about their health as they age. For some, the worrying can be productive, forcing them to overhaul a lifestyle that might not be healthy. For others, the worrying might only compound existing problems.
Faced with the dilemma of getting older, a multi-interational survey reports, Germans worry the most about losing their memory and mental alertness. The Dutch fear getting heavier, and people from Thailand worry about waning eyesight. Americans can't seem to agree on just one concern, they spread their top concern among loss of energy, trouble caring for themselves, memory loss, and weight gain.
In contrast the westerners and Asians interviewed, Egyptions don't seem to worry at all about getting older.
While it's understandable and necessary to focus more on health as the aging process progresses, taking care of oneself and aging healthily doesn't have to be as hard as it seems. Instead, having an understanding of the human body and what happens to it as it ages can go a long way toward maintaining a healthy lifestyle well into one's golden years.
Whenever health comes into question, the first thing to cross most people's minds is their diet. Dietary changes are necessary as people get older for a variety of reasons.
Shifting energy levels.
One of the foremost reasons diet changes are needed as people age is the loss of energy that comes with age. Because the body's energy levels decrease over time, fewer calories are needed to function on a daily basis. If caloric intake is not reduced as we age, weight gain and other negative physical consequences can result.
Weakening bones.
Dietary changes are also necessary to defend oneself against injuries that can result from bones weakening as the body ages. As people get older, bones begin to lose mineral content, making them more susceptible to breaks and other injuries. In addition, the body is more susceptible to osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become brittle and fragile, as it ages. Calcium can help prevent injuries to bones and osteoporosis, emphasizing the importance of making calcium a part of the daily diet.
Shift in production.
Ever wonder why a middle-aged man can eat the same diet as a young man but the physical evidence (namely the difference in body type) will not indicate this to be true? This is because as a body ages it begins producing more body fat and less muscle. This means reducing the amount of fat in a diet as a person ages and exercising more to combat the reduction in muscle tissue production is necessary. It's best to consult a physician for any specific dietary changes, but in general reducing fat intake while including more protein in your diet is a good start toward combating the production shift that takes place as the body ages.
Another thing to expect with aging is changes to the cardiovascular system. The most noticeable change is the heart loses some of its efficiency with respect to pumping blood. Part of that loss of efficiency is due to blood vessels losing some of their elasticity, making it harder for blood to be pumped. With the heart now working harder to do the same job it's been doing for years, certain changes must be made to reduce stress on the heart. One is reducing fat intake. Someone who has a diet high in fat runs the very dangerous risk of having fatty deposits form on their artery walls, stiffening those walls as a result while increasing blood pressure and making it even harder for the heart to pump blood. This is another reason to reduce fat intake as you age.
While much of this discussion thus far has focused on ways to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight, many people, particularly the elderly, find themselves underweight as they get older. Unbeknownst to many, being underweight can be just as damaging as being overweight.
Perhaps the biggest risk people run when being underweight is associated with turning a cold or other short-term illness into a much bigger problem. Keeping a healthy weight helps ensure that the body is resilient, fully capable of handling some ailments, such as cold or flu, that can afflict anyone, regardless of age. Being underweight lessens energy reserves, meaning people won't be able to bounce back as quickly should you get the flu or a cold. Sometimes, people might not be able to bounce back at all, leading to permanent disability or, in some cases, death.
Those who are underweight should be sure to eat three meals a day. Underweight people can find that finishing a meal is tough. For people in that boat, this is okay, but they should make sure they eat the highest calorie foods on the plate first. If you need to leave anything on the plate, don't leave the items that will help you get back to a healthy weight.
Memory loss.
"I'm afraid that one day I will wake up and have little memory of the people around me or won't be able to remember what I watched on TV a few hours earlier," says Susan, 65. "I don't want to end up being put in a home because I cannot be trusted to care for myself.
According to a study conducted by Elizabeth L. Glisky, Ph.D., Susan R. Rubin, M.A. and Patrick S.R. Davidson, M.A., researchers from the University of Arizona, memory loss is not an inevitable part of aging. Despite the stereotypes of seniors walking around aimlessly because they cannot remember anything, the study has found that only some people over 65 suffer greater losses in "source (contextual) memory" than in memory for facts and items. Source memory is memory for the broad contextual aspects surrounding an event, such as who was speaking, or whether you learned something from a book or TV.
There are also solutions to this dilemma.
Get writing: Write things down to reinforce memory.
Make associations: Put medications next to breakfast cereals so you remember to take them.
Challenge yourself: Do puzzles or other challenging games to help boost brainpower.
Pay full attention to tasks at hand: Supposed memory loss may really be the result of being distracted.
Urinary Incontinence.
"I fear that the incontinence issues I'm beginning to have will get worse and that soon my quality of life and freedom will be greatly compromised," says Bill, 57.
Roughly 33 million Americans have urinary incontinence issues. This can happen both to men and women of all ages, but bladder problems have higher occurrence with advanced age. Frequent trips to the bathroom are bothersome and can impede sleep schedules and quality of life. Incontinence can be the result of illness, medications, childbirth or problems of the urinary system. While it's common for older adults, it's not a problem exclusive to the elderly.
Here are some changes one can make to help solve this problem.
Dietary changes. Some foods and beverages can be harder on the bladder than others. Citrus fruits, carbonated beverages and coffee are some of the more common offenders. A doctor may be able to suggest changes to your diet to improve health.
Behavioral modifications: These may include Kegels, which are exercises designed to strengthen the pelvic floor; and other techniques such as bladder retraining, a behavioral technique that involves scheduling bathroom visits and gradually increasing the time between urination.
Lack of mobility.
"I don't want to end up a couch potato because my legs just don't want to work as well as they used to," says Barbara, 72.
One of the biggest fears seniors have is a lack of independence. This can stem from reduced mobility, whether trouble walking or a decision to give up driving. While certain impairments to motor function may be a result of illness or injury, in general, a healthy senior may be his or her own worst enemy when it comes to mobility issues. That's because regular exercise and a balanced diet is essential to maintaining proper fitness.
Here are some ideas to combat the problem of less mobility.
Watch the diet: For someone who is on a special diet (for example, diabetic) maintain that diet. Eating the right foods will stave off excess weight gain, reduce the chances for edema and give one the fuel to make it through each day.
Exercise. Check with a doctor about a fitness plan. Start slowly and simply by taking a walk each day (indoors or outside depending upon weather), and building up the distance. This can maintain a healthy heart and improve muscle tone.
Supplementation. Bone loss and other skeletal problems may be the culprits behind mobility issues. Calcium supplementation and other suggestions from a doctor or pharmacist may be able to help.

The minor league season is coming to a close with a few of the teams in the thick of playoff races. 2012 has been an exhilarating ride for all of baseball, with the surging new set of star prospects, a few new faces in the MLB playoff hunt, and a new Baseball CBA. It's been a good year in the Orioles minor league system with a few of those star prospects making a name for themselves on a national scale. But what about those players that may not have the allure of a Manny Machado or Dylan Bundy?
Below are a few prospects that I think have flown under the radar in the Orioles' minor league system. Some of them have been through a few road bumps, while some have simply been forgotten. At the end of the day, these players have displayed skills in some aspect of the game that make them useful assets down the road. I'm not saying they are top prospects, or they are definitely going to produce, but that there are tools some teams in the future may deem useful.
Just a few guys I think have little-to-no buzz this year, but have some skills I like. Nothing to get entirely overworked on, but just wanted to discuss them a little.
Don already touched on a few guys in his Rule 5 piece, but I would have added Aaron Baker to this list as well.

If a subquery returns any rows at all,
TRUE, and
FALSE. For example:
SELECT column1 FROM t1 WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM t2);
Traditionally, an
EXISTS subquery starts with
SELECT *, but it could begin with
SELECT 5 or
SELECT column1
or anything at all. MySQL ignores the
SELECT list in such a subquery,
so it makes no difference.
For the preceding example, if
t2 contains any
rows, even rows with nothing but
NULL values,
EXISTS condition is
TRUE. This is actually an unlikely example
because a
[NOT] EXISTS subquery almost always
contains correlations. Here are some more realistic examples:
What kind of store is present in one or more cities?
SELECT DISTINCT store_type FROM stores WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM cities_stores WHERE cities_stores.store_type = stores.store_type);
What kind of store is present in no cities?
SELECT DISTINCT store_type FROM stores WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM cities_stores WHERE cities_stores.store_type = stores.store_type);
What kind of store is present in all cities?
SELECT DISTINCT store_type FROM stores s1 WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM cities WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM cities_stores WHERE cities_stores.city = cities.city AND cities_stores.store_type = stores.store_type));
The last example is a double-nested
EXISTS query. That is, it has a
EXISTS clause within a
clause. Formally, it answers the question "does a city
exist with a store that is not in
Stores"? But it is easier to say that
a nested
NOT EXISTS answers the question
for all

Last example (using double negation) can be interpreted as follows:
Store 'si' is in all cities if and only if for this store we can not find a city cj such that 'si' does not exist.
so the second select statement SELECT * FROM cities WHERE NOT EXISTS is applied to detemine that.
|Posted by Radu Borza on February 9 2005 12:21am
|[Delete] [Edit]
EXISTS function provides a simple way to find intersection between tables (INTERSECT operator from relational model).
If we have table1 and table2, both having id and value columns, the intersection could be calculated like this:
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE EXISTS(SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE table1.id=table2.id AND table1.value=table2.value)
|Posted by Aaron Chantrill on April 19 2009 9:03pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
I'm coming from an MS SQL background (not my fault, honest) and would like to add that 'exists' does not operate as I expected it to in interactive mode.
I expect to be able to do something like:
if exists(select 1 from users where username=@username) then
do something;
end if;
but in interactive mode, this produces a syntax error. Oddly enough, though, this does work in a stored procedure.
|Posted by Edgar Sandi on May 26 2009 7:29pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
You'll must build your own "IF EXISTS(..." with a set
of SQL statments.
It´s a challenge!
|Posted by mike tsai on August 12 2009 11:22pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
NOT EXISTS will always return false if table is empty.
For example:
CREATE TABLE states
state_id int auto_increment not null,
state_code char(2) not null,
state_name varchar(100) not null,
PRIMARY KEY(state_id)
mysql> select 100 from states where not exists (select 1 from states where state_id=1);
Empty set (0.00 sec)
|Posted by Scott Rosenberg on October 22 2009 7:19pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
I also come from an MSSQL background (also not my fault as I like to work), and found that this works in place of "IF EXISTS() THEN":
DECLARE v_user INTEGER DEFAULT (SELECT `user` FROM user_privacy WHERE `user` = p_user);
IF v_user IS NOT NULL THEN
-- do whatever
I won't speak to the efficiency of that, but there it is. (I wouldn't store VARCHARs or TEXTs, etc. that way, for no reason).
It can also be written with the SELECT inline with the IF statement:
IF (SELECT `user` FROM user_privacy WHERE `user` = p_user) IS NOT NULL THEN
-- do whatever
.. but I'm in the habit of sticking things like that into vars for re-use in longer SPs.
|Posted by mojgan kavehei on March 10 2014 6:21pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
I wonder if anyone tested the last example "What kind of store is present in all cities?"
it did not work for me, but instead i used this query in below ..
select count(stype), stype , city from cities_stores S group by S.stype having count(stype) = ( select count(distinct D.city) from cities_stores D )
any thought?

BRASHER FALLS Brasher Town Council members agreed Wednesday to go out for bids on the proposed municipal garage on County Route 53, approving a legal notice that seeks bids for general construction, plumbing, heating-ventilation and air conditioning, and electrical work.
Sealed bids are due by 4 p.m. Nov. 6. Town officials are working with Beardsley Design Associates, Malone, on the project.
Councilman John M. Keenan said his concern is the potential cost of the project based on what Town Supervisor M. James Dawson had discussed during the boards September meeting.
Mr. Dawson told board members last month that he had budgeted $1.3 million for the building two years ago, and the cost estimates from the architectural firm indicated construction could cost anywhere from $1.2 million to $1.5 million. He said more than $100,000 has been spent on the project, including the cost to purchase the land, conduct an archaeological study, drill and survey the property.
But, Mr. Dawson said Wednesday, his concern is that the project stays within the budget, not that there wouldnt be enough funding for it.
He said there are ways to shave off some of the costs.
We have to have a concrete containment for the storage of the fuel oil, gasoline, that kind of thing. Well build that ourselves. Well also do the pad for the salt shed when we move it from its present location, he said. Contractors will prep the area in front of the garage for paving, but the towns highway department will do the paving itself to save more money.
He said the project should be finished by this time next year. It is being financed using money the town receives from the casino gaming compact rather than as an additional burden for taxpayers.
This is really a gift ... We can do it without raising taxes, Mr. Dawson said.
The current town garage located in Helena was purchased from the St. Lawrence Seaway for $1 in 1958. The town had to build the foundation and walls for the steel building that served as a storage shed for the Seaway. The building is not big enough for the highway departments vehicles, furnaces are hanging from the ceiling and some of the walls are crumbling and have needed repairs, according to town officials.
A salt shed and sand are also kept at a separate location owned by the town on Meyers Road, meaning highway personnel have to travel from the town garage to that site every time they need to load up.
Town officials purchased 5.35 acres of property from Leon Dishaw on County Route 53 in Helena for $35,000 for the new municipal garage.

OKPOSO, COMRIE READY TO GOIslanders getting healthier, but roster moves ahead
1:00 pm, Iceworks – The Islanders may start to look a little more like a rebuilding team again, now that 20-year old right wing Kyle Okposo is set to return to the lineup when the Islanders play in Minnesota on Friday night.
The rest of the Islanders' roster for this two-game trip, as of 1:00 today, was still very much up in the air. Before the Islanders board their 2:30 pm charter – or at least prior to tomorrow's game – there are still decisions to be made.
Mike Comrie is confirmed to be back at center. "We're excited to have Mike back," said Scott Gordon. "He gives us a more proven offensive player in our lineup."
Comrie could center Okposo, the St. Paul native who played his first collegiate game for the University of Minnesota in the Excel Energy Center, the home of the Wild. "I was terrible," Okposo said today after practice. "I was so nervous, I could barely skate."
The kid is also poised enough to understand the gravity of his team's current plight. Asked how important if would be for the Islanders to win in Minnesota, Okposo said, "We just need a win anywhere, no matter how we get it. If we could win a game 1-0 in a shootout, I'm sure we'd take it."
Stay tuned to Point Blank as we await any news of roster decisions.

A No Hit, No Run Summer (Un ete sans point ni coup sur)
It's the summer of 1969 and a wave of optimism engulfs the Western world. Martin is 12 years old and dreams of playing on the neighborhood team, emulating his new heros, the Montreal Expos. When he doesn't make the cut, his father steps in and organizes a B team. After the initial euphoria, Martin realizes that his team's biggest talent is finding new ways to lose and that his father doesn't know a thing about baseball, 12-year-old boys or his very own son. Unexpectedly thrown together, father and son spend a summer full of hope and disappointment, surprises and foul balls. A summer to remember--for both of them and not only because man took his first steps on the moon.

The best hovertanks just take the whole modern tank design and throw it out the window, examples including Scythe's Orpheus SHDT, blackdog's triangle-shaped SHDT, and my Space Näzi flying saucer M-B-T. Fredde's and the Luchardsko SHDTs combine the above two approaches- they look like a modern tank somewhat in shape but still experiment with some different methods.
For Kalvinators sake -
Basically, I fell for the pitfall of having a box with engines underneath and went through about 4 re-designs, both IRL and LDD before settling on this design which I am most happy with - incrementing the design with technic build techniques, a longer hull and more internal support while expanding on its in game roll - which is basically to be a high tech teir glass cannon.
It flies the fuck about as fast as most other armies flyers/fighters, it carries 20 troops to drop absolutely fucking anywhere and shit on anyones chips as needed, and its main weapons are designed to absolutely and utterly reaptrain the hell out of other STD's.
Yes it has shields in the fluff, but in the crunch, they wouldn't be anywhere near as tough as I sell them off to be in my army thread - as I said, it's a glass cannon split between the roles of -
- Fast as fuck speed
- Godkillingfirepower
- Troop capacity
Which means most of its time in game will be spent as a glorified sniper on rocket skates, blamming the hell out of the enemy and then running away before it then gets pinned and obliterated.
In terms of your own army however - I would recommend sitting down and having a good hard think about what it is you want your SHDT to do - are we talking about a slow moving brick of Armour and guns? B52 style? or a fast moving glass cannon with a possible secondary use? Or a floating troop carrier that only deals light damage but shrugs off most hits, and literally rolls into the enemy while vomiting troops left, right and center?
On top of this, does it fit your army style? And your play style to boot? You gotta consider this as well to make sure everything plays out your way.
Best of luck to yee dude, I look forward to seeing what you put out there.

Media Reactions to deal that will send R.A. Dickey to Blue Jays
Here are some reactions to R.A. Dickey soon being sent to the Blue Jays for top C prospect Travis D'Arnaud:
12:21 pm: Former GM Jim Bowden: "Sandy Alderson and the New York Mets have received the absolute MAXIMUM possible return for R.A. Dickey #impressive."
12:12 pm: Toby Hyde, Mets Minor League Blog: "If a team is going to trade a reigning Cy Young award winner, this is how it's done. Pull the other team's best two prospects."
11:17 am: Buster Olney, ESPN.com: "Talent evaluators who have heard Toronto Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos say no to possible deals for d'Arnaud in the past are stunned — completely shocked — that Toronto has said yes to a to a proposed trade for Dickey. There's even more to this deal than d'Arnaud: Noah Snydergaard, regarded as the Jays' best pitching prospect by some teams, would be the cherry on top of this trade for the Mets, if it goes through. … "He's out of his mind," said another."
11:00 am: Tyler Kepner, New York Times: "By trading Dickey to the Toronto Blue Jays, pending the negotiation of a contract extension, the Mets essentially told their fans that they do not expect to contend for the next three years. The Mets have already staggered through four consecutive losing seasons, three shy of the franchise record. Now the wait to be relevant drags on."

I want to be a electrician but have aspergers would it make a difference. I wanted to know if this would affect my me from getting an apprenticeship. I have completed a work placement as an electrician and got a glowing report and I have been going to army cadets for a while so I think my social skills have improved greatly. thanks
03 January 2013 08:57 PM
Good on you for having the drive and asking here. I myself have a son who is autistic but must admit I don't fully understand your circumstance. but as far as being able to complete an apprentiship ,if you are clever enough then you can do it .as far as your social skill I for one know some horrible electricians who still hold down a job ,so the real thing to worry about is not so much if you will get on with people but can you give what you will need to provide.
30 January 2013 10:30 AM
I lecture at a college in electrical installation. Our college will provide you with any specialist learning services you may think you need, or dont need for that matter throughout your training. There are qualified persons to provide this service.
I would say that most other colleges around the U.K will operate the same system.
The problem I would see for you would be finding a work placement to suit. In my experience aspergers affects every single person ive ever met differently. Building sites can sometimes be terrible places to work with some not so nice people. though for the most part people are generally ok.
Basically its just down to yourself. if you feel you could handle it, go for it. i would certainly encourage you to enroll at your local college and try to find an employer so you could start your training.
07 March 2013 05:39 PM
Without knowing you personally, I can only speak generally about how the general traits of aspergers may affect your job. I also know quite a few electricians with asperger-traits, so it's clearly a job that attracts.
If you're detail-oriented, you will find the mathematical, technical and regulatory sides interesting, but may struggle with doing things quickly (especially if you're a perfectionist).
If you have a good memory for detail, remembering different types of wiring, test methods and regulations will come in handy, however you must remember when talking to non-technical clients not to give them too much detail. If you find yourself offering to draw them a diagram, that's too much information
Don't be afraid to admit when you don't know something, asking is the quickest way to enlightenment. If you feel compelled to tell someone more experienced and senior to you that they are wrong about something, phrase it as a question, otherwise they may be insulted.
If you're a smiley friendly, attentive person, then you'll probably be fine with face to face client interaction. If you're not, try and find something away from them.
It's a great job, so if you're interested, go for it!
30 March 2013 02:51 PM
I have aspergers and just completed a beng telecoms degree which involved electronic engineering. Apparently people with aspergers are very suited to technical engineering vocations (in fact my doctor seemed to expect people with aspergers to be engineers) so I'd say go for it.
22 April 2013 10:26 PM
I can see nothing to bar you from a career as an electrician but, if you have a disability, you must develop the habit of being ABSOLUTELY certain about safety. Too many get-rich-quick lawyers about these days.
I started in the WWll BBC Sound Service; in those days the only microphone suitable for music was the ribbon mic and we could not rectify ac mains with sufficient smoothing. Every studio had its own Battery Room which held a string if 120 x 2-volt lead-acid cells connected in series. One mistake and you could fry an elephant. We were put through an exacting safety course - a feature that I believe doesn't appear in any electrical syllabus today?
My best wishes,
Ken Green

Felon makes first court appearance since his capture
YAKIMA, Wash. -- A day in court for the man who dodged Yakima police for weeks. Jacob Lucey put on a show for the media Monday.
Lucey is the man who was let out of jail for 24 hours after telling the court his mother was dying. Lucey didn't bother returning after his time was up.
He faces nearly a dozen felony charges including armed robbery.
It's expected he'll face new charges as well.
Bail is set for $50,000 and police hope Lucey doesn't have the cash to meet it.

Buncombe County Government has received the highest rating by Standard and Poor's bond rating agency assigning a AAA rating to the County, up from the previous AA+ rating. This independent rating agency consists of financial and business experts whose goal is to advise investors on how safe an investment in an organization will be. By assigning Buncombe County this rating, the experts are saying Buncombe County is a safe place to invest and do business.
Buncombe becomes only the 6th county in North Carolina to have a AAA rating, joining Mecklenburg, Wake, Forsyth, New Hanover and Durham Counties.
"We are delighted to receive a AAA bond rating," stated County Manager Wanda Greene, "this rating reaffirms that Buncombe County is well positioned to support our business community, to provide effective and efficient services and conservatively manage our tax dollars. In practical terms, having a AAA ratings means that our costs when we borrow are kept as low as possible."
According to the report released by Standard and Poor's, the AAA rating reflects the County's:
Standard and Poor's stated: "despite budgetary pressures attributed to the economic downturn, Buncombe's financial performance has remained very strong. Management has consistently produced general fund surpluses and maintained strong reserves above policy targets. Buncombe's financial management practices are strong, well-embedded, and likely sustainable. "This is fabulous news" says Kit Cramer, Executive Director of the Asheville Chamber, "this is exactly what is needed to help us compete for the recruitment of businesses who are looking for a well run local government and a good economic environment."
"This is an important accomplishment for us," said Commission Chairman David Gantt. "This is recognition that Buncombe County is being well managed as it works through a difficult economic environment. We are making tough but smart choices with our workforce, smart partnerships and spending, while continuing to provide essential services."
About the rating:
A rating is a grade that indicates the credit quality of a bond based on the evaluation of an issuer's financial strength. Private rating services such as Standard and Poor's provide these evaluations. Ratings are divided into several categories ranging from AAA, reflecting the strongest credit quality, to D, reflecting the lowest. The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories.
For more information about this rating or the County's budget, contact the County Finance Office at 250-4130.

Hawke's Bay on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand is a beautiful region of famous vineyards, fruit-filled orchards and rich agricultural land. Its mild Mediterranean climate and productive soils make it a food and wine lovers' paradise with the latest taste sensations coming from the regions flourishing olive groves.
Wherever quality grapes and wine are produced, olives will do just as well. Hawke's Bay has the sunshine hours, rainfall (with irrigation, as required) and soil profiles to be New Zealand's premier olive growing region. The Village Press olive grove is sited in the golden wine triangle of Hawke's Bay (seven kilometres from Hastings adjacent to major wine company vineyards) and is managed by people fully involved in the olive industry.

CANTON Former Gouverneur Mayor Christopher A. Miller has been reindicted on a charge linked to his alleged swindling of two Gouverneur residents by fraudulently selling them a house.
The state Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third Judicial Department, issued a decision Thursday to overturn the Dec. 20 dismissal of a third-degree grand larceny charge against Mr. Miller, 32, of 171 Rowley St., by St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards.
Mr. Miller and Dylan Liebenow were co-owners of the house at 31 Edith St. in Gouverneur. In April 2012, Mr. Miller is accused of having sold the home to Ronald and Heather Sliter for $50,000 on a fraudulent land contract because he failed to mention there was a co-owner who did not sign off on the transaction.
Elected mayor in fall 2011, Mr. Miller served in the position for less than a year before resigning in August 2012, six days before he was arrested.
According to the granted appeal, Mr. Miller accepted $10,840 from the purchasers and upon their discovering he was not the sole owner of the property, they vacated the premises and demanded a return of their money.
In the interim, defendant filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy but neglected to disclose, among other things, the existence of the underlying land contract on his schedule of personal property, the appeal read.
Judge Richards had dismissed the grand larceny charge along with a charge of first-degree offering a false instrument, citing what he called Assistant District Attorney Jonathan L. Beckers pervasive mishandling of the questioning of witnesses in this case.
Finally, the prosecutor repeatedly interrupted one or more jurors who were trying to ask clarifying questions, and basically strong-armed them into abandoning the attempt to clarify, Judge Richards wrote in his 2012 decision.
While the Appellate Division overturned the decision to dismiss the grand larceny charge, the people conceded at an oral argument that the offering a false instrument charge was properly dismissed and withdrew their challenge to have it overturned.
Contrary to county courts finding, the record as a whole does not reveal a pervasive mishandling of the manner in which this case was presented to the grand jury, the appeal order said. Inasmuch as we are satisfied based upon our review of the grand jury minutes that there otherwise is legally sufficient (and admissible) evidence to sustain count 1 of the indictment, the isolated instances of hearsay testimony, which were accompanied by appropriate limiting instructions do not warrant dismissal thereof.
The Appellate Division added that it was persuaded that the prosecutors limited use of leading questions did not impair the integrity of the grand jury proceeding. Accordingly, county court erred in concluding that the indictment was subject to dismissal, the order said.
Mr. Miller will be scheduled to return to answer the charge at a date not yet scheduled.

Homeowners Frustrated By Increase In Flood Insurance Rates
By Kim Ortiz on October 4th, 2013 | Last updated: October 4, 2013 at 10:14 am

An increase in flood insurance went into effect Tuesday, but many Floridians are still voicing their distaste for the new law. The National Flood Insurance wants to collect more from those who it said have been underpaying to bring down their $24 billion deficit.

I read the Salt Lake Tribune and especially the Public Forum letters almost every day, and if you take the time to count the daily number of letters opposing our federal government's policies it is running very high when compared to the total number of letters overall.
I wonder if the Tribune is printing just the negative opinions about the Bush administration, or if nobody is writing any positive opinions?
I believe that the American people are truly getting tired of being tied to and constantly misled by the Bushies about many issues - especially the war for "freedom" in Iraq. We are told that everything is going just fine over there and maybe this administration truly believes that, considering that Paul Wolfowitz doesn't even know how many Americans have died - so far. Maybe he should be counting the flag-draped coffins that come back from this unjustified war; the ones the government won't allow us to see.
I'm glad I don't have children in the military so I don't have to worry about them dying for oil and Halliburton's bottom line.
President Clinton had impeachment proceedings leveled against him for something that hurt no one except the small circle of people directly involved, yet we are letting Bush/Cheney let blood from America's sons and daughters for political and financial gains that benefit the wealthy and hurt the rest of us.
What will it take to wake enough of us up to put him and his cohorts out of power?

The verdict in the case of China's fallen political star Bo Xilai, due on September 22, will cap an extraordinary scandal involving bribes, murder, illicit love, political infighting, and a colourful yet tightly controlled trial. Even before the stunning five-day hearing last month, the downfall of the once-powerful Bo was already the most sensational drama in decades to rock the ruling Communist Party and its prized stability.

The Arctic is home to incredible wildlife, from majestic polar bears to blubbery walruses and mysterious narwhals. But all Arctic species depend on sea ice to survive, and the ice is vanishing with terrifying speed.
Without sea ice to hunt, rest, and breed, the very survival of polar bears and other wildlife is under threat. Mother polar bears, weak and starving, have trouble reproducing. Their cubs must fight the odds to survive into adulthood.
Unless we take action soon, experts warn that polar bears could disappear completely from the Arctic in the next 100 years. Act now to protect their home.

DePaul @ Providence: A Must Win for the Friars
Saturday, February 15, 2014
Location: Dunkin' Donuts Center – Providence, RI
Time: 2:00 PM
Media: Fox Sports 1/WEEI 103.7 FM
It hasn't even been two weeks since these two teams last met but a lot has happened in that small window of time - much of which is negative. Following their February 1st matchup in Chicago, Providence has lost three straight games and DePaul remains winless since mid-January. The Friars' current losing streak has brought them from the upper quarter of the Big East standings back down to the middle of the pack and DePaul's has them sitting just a half game above Butler for last place. While both teams are in dire need of a W, DePaul will enter what will likely be a sold out Dunkin' Donuts Center as PC celebrates Alumni Weekend.
Despite the fact that DePaul is typically one of the Big East's weakest schools, the Friars have not defeated the Blue Demons at home since 2009. That will need to change if PC would like to remain in the NCAA Tournament conversation. Bryce Cotton has been playing as well as ever, scoring 31 points in PC's most recent loss to Georgetown, but it is the supporting cast that could use a confidence boost. Perhaps there is no better team to regain that confidence against, than DePaul. Look for Josh Fortune to bounce back after his worst shooting game of the season on Monday night (2-14), and for Kadeem Batts to have his way in the paint against Tommy Hamilton.
As DePaul looks to end their seven game losing streak, they will be without leading scorer, Cleveland Melvin, as his decision to leave the program was announced this week. With the departure of Melvin, who last played on January 20th, DePaul loses 23% of their total offense which certainly hurts a Blue Demons team that has only averaged 67.7 points per game this season.
Two players that Ed Cooley and the Friars must now key on, are DePaul senior guard Brandon Young and freshman R.J. Curington. In their last meeting, Curington went off, scoring a career high 22 points on 7-15 shooting from the field. Slowing those two down will be a definite, if the Friars want to come away with the victory.
Getting back to the NCAA Tournament conversation... in Joe Lunardi's latest Bracketology, he kept the Friars in the field as a 12 seed but a loss tomorrow will essentially end PC's hopes for making the 'Big Dance'. So for all intensive purposes, tomorrow's contest is a must win for the Friars.

The sticker was meant to be a harmless reminder. All it said was simply: "This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory and not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered." Apparently, open-mindedness in Georgia is against the law. Placing those stickers inside the front covers of Cobb county biology textbooks is evidently a crime, according to U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper.
Six parents have sued the Georgia school board over the stickers, claiming that they advance a religious agenda. Judge Cooper agreed with the claim, stating that the labels did not have a "secular purpose," and therefore were an unconstitutional violation of separation of church and state. An Associated Press (A.P.) news report noted: "A federal judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit against a school district's practice of posting disclaimers inside science textbooks saying evolution is 'a theory, not a fact'" (see "Georgia Evolution…," 2004). Michael Manely, the attorney who represents the six Cobb county parents, said: "We're very excited about this." As well he should be. Only in America can we find a judicial system that would hear such a pathetic argument trumped up under the guise of "separation of church and state."
The A.P. report goes on to note: "The lawsuit argues that the disclaimer restricts the teaching of evolution, promotes and requires the teaching of creationism and discriminates against particular religions." With that in mind, let's revisit exactly what the sticker says:
This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered.
And exactly what part of that was discussing religion? Exactly where did it mention creationism? In explaining why he made this ridiculous decision, the judge "noted that while the disclaimer has no biblical reference, it encourages students to consider alternatives other than evolution" (See "Georgia Evolution..."). Perish the thought—that students should actually think on their own and evaluate the validity of a theory using their own discretion.
I would be curious if Judge Cooper would allow scientific evidence to be presented that contradicts evolutionary theory. If he will not allow a mere sticker that reminds students that evolution is a theory, then anyone pointing out the scientific errors of evolution might expect to be thrown in jail. Adolf Hitler is reported to have once said: "Let me control the textbooks, and I will control the state!" Evolutionists obviously recognize the truthfulness of this statement, as they are seeking to ensure that students never develop their own critical-thinking skills. The evolutionary agenda will now prescribe exactly what our children must believe and think—as open minds are no longer welcome in the classroom.

Dear GNEEOT,
# cat /proc/net/dev
Best Regards.
I have network that consist of 10 WinXP workstations and One Server with Fedora Core 3. My internet connection is DIAL-UP connected to server. Does anyone know how can I see in/out traffic speed in real time of 10 WinXP workstations to Internet?
Dear GNEEOT,
# cat /proc/net/dev
Best Regards.
Färrükh Ähmëd
Thanks. But I want to see speed in real time.
Something like this:
Workstation 1(192.168.1.10): 0.4 Kbytes/sec
Workstation 2(192.168.1.11): 1.1 Kbytes/sec
Workstation 3(192.168.1.12): 3.1 Kbytes/sec
Workstation 4(192.168.1.13): 4.1 Kbytes/sec
I've configured MRTG, but with it I can't see speed in every moment, only every 5 minute.
The best solution for You is: iptraf (is come with Fedora installation)
IPTraf is a console-based network monitoring utility. IPTraf gathers
data like TCP connection packet and byte counts, interface statistics
and activity indicators, TCP/UDP traffic breakdowns, and LAN station
packet and byte counts. IPTraf features include an IP traffic monitor
which shows TCP flag information, packet and byte counts, ICMP
details, OSPF packet types, and oversized IP packet warnings;
interface statistics showing IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, non-IP and other IP
packet counts, IP checksum errors, interface activity and packet size
counts; a TCP and UDP service monitor showing counts of incoming and
outgoing packets for common TCP and UDP application ports, a LAN
statistics module that discovers active hosts and displays statistics
about their activity; TCP, UDP and other protocol display filters so
you can view just the traffic you want; logging; support for Ethernet,
FDDI, ISDN, SLIP, PPP, and loopback interfaces; and utilization of the
built-in raw socket interface of the Linux kernel, so it can be used
on a wide variety of supported network cards.

Note: The Federal Mediators Are Coming Back Tomorrow
The NHL and NHLPA will meet tomorrow at an undisclosed location in
New York City and for the second time in the process federal mediators will be involved.
Nick Cotsonika tweets
- "What mediation should do, at minimum, is keep things quiet, private and on task. It should eliminate theatrics and lessen miscommunication."
- "NHL would not agree to mediation if it didn't have some use for it. Must have some reason to return to talks, some value in this route."

By VIKKI KRATZMinute Man Media
In 1995, Congress killed a special tax on the chemical and oil industry that had been used to pay for Superfund cleanups of hazardous waste sites. This summer, a special coalition of chemical and industrial manufacturers is working to make sure the tax stays dead.
The nine companies that make up the Superfund Settlements Project say they have already paid out more than $2 billion in Superfund cleanup costs since 1980 and have spent hundreds of millions of dollars more to pay the federal tax that funded the program until 1995. Now, in testimony before Congress earlier this year, the companies say the Superfund program "has largely accomplished its goals" and should be significantly scaled back.
The Bush administration seems to agree. Earlier this year, the White House announced that it would not seek to reauthorize the industry tax. Instead, Bush wants to transfer $700 million from the general treasury to pay for Superfund.
At its peak in 1996, the Superfund program had about $3 billion in its coffers to pay for cleanups. Without the industry tax to replenish it, the fund is now nearly empty. By 2003, it will have shrunk to just $28 million and by 2004, the fund will be depleted. Although the Environmental Protection Agency can generally get polluting companies to pay for the cleanup about 70 percent of the time, the industry tax covered the "orphaned" sites-the ones where the company is bankrupt or no longer exists. Now, money for those cleanups will have to come from general tax revenues.
That lets polluting industries off the hook, says Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.). This summer, Boxer introduced a "polluter pays" bill that would reinstate the industry tax on oil and chemical companies, and another tax on a wide range of companies that use and dispose of hazardous waste. Boxer said her bill will "help ensure that the cleanups continue, but not at the expense of�the American taxpayer."
The nine companies in the Superfund Settlements Project insist that it's not fair to single them out for a tax.
"What we're talking about here are the orphan sites, and it really ought to be a general societal responsibility to clean them up," Michael Steinberg, one of the project's representatives, told "The Buffalo News." "Why point to any one industry to do it?"
The nine companies that make up the coalition are a "Who's Who" list of corporate heavyweights: DuPont, Honeywell, General Electric, General Motors, Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Solutia, United Technologies, IBM, and Waste Management Inc. So far in the 2002 election cycle, the companies have given nearly $3 million in individual, PAC and soft money donations, 64 percent to Republicans. The companies also spent more than $28 million on lobbying in 2001. General Electric, the coalition's biggest contributor, has given $1.2 million and spent more than $15 million on lobbying in 2001.
The nine companies gave Bush more than $136,000 during the 2000 presidential election. The oil and gas industry as a whole contributed $1.8 million to the Bush campaign. Chemical manufacturers kicked in another half million dollars.
Sen. Boxer has received more than $78,000 from environmental interests so far during her six-year Senate term, making the environmental community one of her top campaign contributors. Environmental interests have contributed nearly $250,000 so far to federal candidates and committees in the 2002 election cycle, 95 percent to Democrats.
Although Boxer's bill is currently sitting in committee, the issue received a lot of attention this summer when a report by the EPA's inspector general found 33 sites across the country had not received adequate funding for cleanups. Boxer and 35 other Senate Democrats sent a letter to President Bush demanding to know why the money had not been granted.
The EPA responded that the inspector general's July report showed only a "snapshot" in time and that additional funding would be granted in the coming months. Since the report was released, 11 of the 33 sites have received additional funding.

The Bills don't figure to be major players or make major headlines when the free agent signing period opens on Tuesday.
Last year they made major headlines with the signing of Mario Williams. This year, they figure to deal with some key needs by shopping below the top tier of highly expensive talent.
They have many areas of need that include receiver, linebacker, safety, cornerback, and offensive line.
Saturday, the Bills re-signed former first round pick Leodis McKelvin to a reported 4-year deal worth $20-million. McKelvin's strength is the return game, as there are still major questions about his abilities as a corner. The Bills also used the franchise tag on safety Jairus Byrd, and signed linebacker Bryan Scott to a one year contract.
Of course, a huge question still revolves around the quarterback position. Ryan Fitzpatrick is due a $3-million dollar roster bonus on Wednesday. GM Buddy Nix won't say so publicly, but it's believed Fitzpatrick has been approached about restructuring his deal to provide some cap relief. The Bills have declared there will be an open competition at quarterback this summer.
Tim Graham joined 2-On-Your-Side's Adam Benigni on Thursday of this past week to look ahead to free agency and the draft. You can watch more of that interview by clicking on the video player above.

WRSI Helmets
Current Helmet (No Vent)
In Stock Product Number: 12881
The Current Helmet by Whitewater Research and Safety Institute is a multi impact helmet designed to fit a variety of head sizes ranging from 54 cm to 59 cm in circumference. With the 'Superior Retention System' and the multiple and removable shims, this helmet feels almost cemented in place. All shims are included so one size and some adjustments will fit most.
The motivation for this project originated from the fatal kayaking accident of Lucas Brandon Turner, who died on the North Fork of the Payette River in Idaho in 1998. The casualty occurred when the helmet he was wearing, got pushed backwards by forceful water and exposed his forehead to a traumatic, and disastrous blow.
His father, Gil Turner, established the Institute of Whitewater Research & Safety as a nonprofit foundation dedicated to making whitewater recreation a safer sport.
The Current Helmet is the result of the 4 year Whitewater Head Impact Protection Project (WWHIP) co-sponsored by the Institute and Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, MD.
*The vents are located on the top of the helmet for more comfort.
- Lexan EXL outer shell
- Strap looped continuously throughout the shell to decrease helmet rotation
- Fits head ergonomics from 2.5% to 95% of all people
Gender: Unisex
Material: Multiple Impact Shell A Liner: EVA foam B Liner: polyurethane sub-shell C Layer: EVA Foam.
