In response to RedsoxProspects' comment:
Great game to watch. Xander looked unfazed and ready to contribute more in the future. Solid games by Nava, Victorino, Breslow, Peavy, Koji...etc.
The Sox just continue to look like the best team in baseball.
Did you guys see Reddick's hops on that HR ball. The guy is a tremendous athlete. He's just fun to watch. Too bad he doesn't make more contact. It's amazing how so many of our former players are big time contributors on the Oakland team. Coco was 4-5 today.
Victorino's RF defense is making us all forget about Reddick.
I'm glad Bogaerts scored 2 runs last night. Big confidence boost... not that he needed it.
Nava continues to be an OB machine vs RHPs. I love the Nava-Gomes platoon even more now than I did last spring.
Salty had a tough night, but still ended up with a .364 OBP this series.
Pedey had a tough series, but it's nice to see everyone else pick it up.
The Ellsbury-Victorino 1-2 lead-off punch has been amazing. They both are getting on base at a crazy rate, and then they are reeking havoc on the basepaths afterwards. It seems like Ellsbury is even faster than before the foot injury!
Lester-Lackey-Buch-Peavy... WOW!
Breslow-Uehara... Double WOW!

At WhoWhatWear.com, we try not to play favorites with the fashionable women we spotlight, but when we come across someone with incredible personal style, we definitely feel the need to shout it from the rooftops. So who is getting all of our love lately? A 22-year-old up-and-coming pop singer from the tiny town of Broxbourne, England: Jade Williams, aka Sunday Girl. The brunette beauty is making quite the name for herself right now, both in the music industry (she has a handful of hit singles in the UK) and the fashion world (she made stylish appearances at the Mulberry and Topshop shows during LFW earlier this spring, and was spotted at Stella McCartney and Chanel in Paris). In addition to her intriguing fashion choices--her outfits tend to feature a masterful mix of masculine and feminine elements--we are truly impressed by Williams' slew of talents. This creative young lady not only writes her own songs, she also styles herself for her music videos, designed the artwork for one of her singles, and has a very lovely blog. With her signature tousled tresses and an innate sense of style, the multi-talented Williams makes for the perfect Girl of the Month.
One thing that stands out about Williams' boy-meets-girl style is how she consistently adds unexpected elements to her outfits. Whether she's pairing Tory Burch's Winnie Coat ($550, 866.480.8679) with chain-detailed leather booties (also by Tory Burch), opting for a shirt with a standout collar, or rolling up a pair of Topshop's Red Belted Pleat Front Tapered Trousers ($85) to show off her socks and Topshop Sugar Nude Patent Mary Jane Platforms ($140, 212.966.9555), our GOTM always puts an interesting twist on her outfits. She's also no elitist; many of her outfits have a D.I.Y. element at work (she'll make her own collar or fashion a skinny bow-tie out of shoe laces) or feature high-street favorites from the likes of Aldo and Topshop. If you're as crazy about her style as we are, you're in luck because we've tracked down a handful of Williams-inspired pieces--including an edgy leather skirt, a motorcycle jacket with an intriguing mix of textures, and a gorgeous silver chain-link bracelet--to help you attain her enviable cool-girl vibe! Read on to see the rest of our picks; we're confident you'll love these pieces as much as we do!
Bumble and Bumble Texture Crème ($26) in 5 oz.
A Williams-inspired ensemble is simply not complete without tousled, just-rolled-out-of-bed hair. But if you're like most of us, your hair probably needs a little help to achieve this perfectly undone look. Accordingly, we recommend applying this new styling crème by Bumble and bumble to your damp hair (then scrunch it with your fingers) to get Williams' fuss-free hair in no time!
Pierre Hardy Patent and Grosgrain Flats ($630, 646.499.0070)
Williams clearly adores her nude mary-jane pumps; she's teamed them with socks and cropped, coral pants, as well as with chic black trousers. Accordingly, we picked these adorable flats by Pierre Hardy because they are equally versatile and make a great alternative to pumps (not to mention they're far more comfortable!). The smart mix of patent and grosgrain makes these flats a truly standout piece, and we're positive they will instantly update your look this season!
Cynthia Rowley Wrapped Piping Satchel ($290) in Black
It's safe to say we love everything about this bag! From the leather trim and silver hardware to the magnetic flap pockets and detachable tassel (a Microtrend we highlighted earlier this month!), this Cynthia Rowley satchel is pure perfection. We think this bag is perfect in keeping with our GOTM's hip, downtown-girl vibe, which makes us want to snag one pronto!
Club Monaco Stella Sweater ($129, 310.657.1818) in White
Club Monaco is one of our go-to shops when searching for wardrobe staples, so it was difficult to choose just one standout piece from the retailer's spring offerings. However, we were particularly drawn to this white boatneck sweater, which can easily be paired with any piece hanging in your closet. We think our GOTM would love it as well; be sure to follow her lead and juxtapose the sweet, feminine sweater with masculine accents, such as a pair of dark, slouchy trousers or a tough leather jacket.
DKNY Cropped Stretch-Cotton Pants ($195)
It's no secret that spring is all about color, so we could hardly resist including these coral-hued trousers by DKNY, which are also very similar to the pair that Williams wore to a charity event benefitting Cancer Research UK in London last month. The best part about these playful pants is that they can be dressed up a la Williams with a button-up blouse and nude blazer or paired with flats for a weekend getaway.
Tacori Blushing Rose Gold and Silver Bracelet ($400)
You won't find Williams sporting any flashy, over-the-top jewelry; she favors simplistic accents and keeps her accessories to a minimum. Accordingly, we think our GOTM would be mad about this understated Tacori bracelet. Much like Williams' own personal style, this bracelet has a classic-with-a-twist vibe, thanks to its mix of gold and silver and the tiny patterns engraved in each link.
J. Crew Tweed and Khaki Motorcycle Jacket ($298)
We have yet to come across a J. Crew piece we didn't like, and this supremely cool motorcycle jacket is no exception. We particularly adore its mix of materials; the jacket features both khaki and tweed, resulting in a modern twist on a wardrobe staple that our GOTM would certainly approve of. Never one to stick to a traditional look, Williams might pair this with straight-leg pants and a pair of leather booties.
Kova & T Geneva Skirt ($333, 310.550.1341) in Black
Our GOTM clearly has a knack for wearing anything-but-basic black pieces in interesting ways, so when we came across this leather skirt by Kova & T, we instantly thought it would suit her style. Williams tends to steer clear of overtly sexy outfits, so we think she would tone this skirt down by teaming it with a menswear-inspired, white button-up blouse and her favorite nude mary-jane pumps.--Erin Fitzpatrick

Congressman: Jason Caffetz
When Rep. Jason Chaffetz became Sanpete countys congressman, some wondered if he would be as big an advocate of the Gooseberry Narrows Dam project as his predecessor, Chris Cannon, was.
Chaffetz put that question squarely to rest last week.
"We're going to fight to make this happen," he said during a tour of the proposed dam site at the top of Fairview Canyon. "Any hurdle they [opponents] put up for us, we'll get over it."
Chaffetz made time for the tour during his visit to Sanpete County to hold a town hall meeting on Sept. 2.
"This project has gone on for way too long," he said, echoing what the project's supporters have been saying for several years to get the 70-plus-year-old project finally off the ground. "It still has a ways to go, but we've made progress, and I'm optimistic."
Part of that progress mentioned specifically by Chaffetz was the Utah Legislature's passage earlier this year of a resolution in support of the project, sponsored by Utah House Rep. Brad Winn. It was the first time the Narrows project had anything that looked like statewide backing.
"I think we've crossed a bridge about what the state as a whole thinks about this," said Winn, who was among the site's tour group.
That kind of broad support will be important if Congress is to look seriously at the project.
Having that kind of broad support among Utah's congressional delegation would be helpful too in that regard. But there's still one of Utah's representatives to Congress who's holding out Second District Congressman Jim Matheson.
There again, though, Chaffetz was hopeful.
"I've supported some of his projects outside of the district, so I hope he reciprocates," he said.
Chaffetz was invited to tour the dam site by Greg Soter, a public relations and marketing official who has taken on the Gooseberry project on behalf of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District.
"I wanted very much for him [Chaffetz] to be able to say to people, 'I have been there. I can envision this thing. I know what this thing is. It doesn't only look good on paper,'" Soter said.
The visit also anticipated the release in future weeks of an environmental impact study (EIS) performed by the Bureau of Reclamation. Following the release of that document, expected perhaps as early as October, there will be a 60-day period for public comment on the statement. Those comments will become a part of the official study and will be used by officials to help determine whether or not the project should move forward.
Soter and other proponents plan to conduct a vigorous campaign to get supporters to comment on the EIS.
"What we need to do is provide written comment on the EIS," Soter said. "There will undoubtedly be negative comment. Any favorable comment we get from any entity or individual is going to be helpful."
There, too, Chaffetz was encouraging.
"We're coming up on an important milestone," the congressman said. "When they start the clock ticking on that comment period, that's a good thing."

|The right-aimed tee box can cause trouble if players don't adjust.
Price River adds a twist to the otherwise straightforward sixth hole of the Carbon Country Club golf course.
The 167 yard par three is easily reachable from the tee boxes. However, according to assistant pro Kenji Otani, the tee boxes aim golfers toward Price River on the right side of the hole.
To play the sixth successfully, Otani reminds golfers to adjust their aim with the tee box angle in mind.
The sixth green is surrounded by bunkers on the right and left and is longer than it is wide. The far left edge of the green has an area of significant slope to the left, guiding balls into the bunker.
Otani said golfers should go for the center of the green and avoid hitting the ball too long. The slope of the green runs back to front and leaves long hitters with a downhill putt.
Otherwise, the sixth green is not difficult to putt.
The pin is most difficult when placed in the back right because of the bunker and the nearby river.

Comments about Patagonia Alpine Guide Pants (Women's) 2008:
These pants are great; I've pretty much live in them. They're warm, shed water like a champ, and have enough stretch for awesome mobility. My only complaint is that the legs are a little baggy and the ankle snaps don't get tight enough (they slide up a bit on my ice boots).

Comments about Patagonia Alpine Guide Pants (Women's) 2008:
Great pair of pants. Super comfy and flattering! Order up a size or 2 if you've never tried on Patagonia pants; I can wear a 6 in many brands but needed a 10 for these so look at the size guide. Thoughtfully designed, as with all Patagonia; no extraneous pockets or buttons, just the right amount of detailing. Everything is very sleek and trim. The pockets zip closed and are lined with a warm, soft material. I feel that I can wear these in cold temps with no baselayer and still stay warm. Soft shell material is breathable yet water repellent. They are cut slim through the thighs, which I love, and they taper at the ankle but have an optional vent that can be opened for a more flattering boot cut. I am 5'8" and these just hit the tops of my boots. Very pleased with this purchase - I will be backpacking through cold Peruvian mountains for 6 weeks and cannot think of a better staple for my pack. Wish I could find a black pair in my size as well. Very pleased with these pants; a bargain for the price!

Comments about Merrell Men's Moab Trail Shoes:
I've worn dozens of DC, Dr. Martins, and various kinds of skateboarding shoes in the past but these Merrel with Vibram soles are extremely comfy and supportive compared to the rest. Don't worry about the price because they last three times longer too. I've done a few hours of work outside during the winter and they kept my feet dry and warm during the entire time. I'm even wearing them right now. hehe I've had my Merrel Moab Waterproof hikers now for about 2 years this summer and I've worn them nearly every day. I would highly recommend ditching the "fashionable" skater shoe look for these to anyone working on the feet or hiking for 8 hours or more.. Just remember to pick a pair with Vibram soles because they seem to feel and last longer.

CANTON While four alternate jurors were selected Thursday to supplement 12 jurors in the murder trial of three Ogdensburg men in St. Lawrence County Court, opening statements did not begin as expected, and the trial now is slated to begin at 10 a.m. today.
Investigators said Ralph E. Gene Lawton, 83, died after a scuffle during a robbery by Anthony W. Lalonde, Michael S. Thorpe and Michael D. Durand at Mr. Lawtons Ford Street apartment in Ogdensburg on Nov. 18, 2010. Mr. Lalonde, then 31, of 1106 Ford St., Mr. Thorpe, then 25, of 904 Elizabeth St., and Mr. Durand, then 29, of 513 Elizabeth St., were charged with second-degree murder and first-degree robbery.
The main panel of 12 jurors was seated Monday through Wednesday. Judge Jerome J. Richards is presiding over the trial, which he said could last two to four weeks.
The judge said Wednesday that opening statements had been expected to begin Thursday afternoon, but the process moved somewhat more slowly than officials expected, both in its own right and while other court activity, including a grand jury handing up indictments in unrelated cases, continued Thursday.
Mr. Lawton and his 64-year-old roommate, Guy C. Bartlett, were home when the trio allegedly entered the apartment wearing masks, caused a scuffle that left Mr. Lawton mortally injured and then fled with more than $1,000 and prescription drugs.

Jess's grandpa was bone fide Southern gentleman. One who taught her how to sew, shoot and make things with her own hands. He also believed in dressing to a tee for any occasion. So it's all but appropriate that she fell for making menswear, with its intricate details and attention to craftsmanship. She has a little spot in her heart for those vintage fabrics that make her feel like she's in on a secret society—a feeling she passes on with her completely unique bow ties and pocket squares, meant to be worn with more than a dash of old South pizzazz.

LOWVILLE The Lewis County Sheriffs Department has established a dedicated tip line to offer greater anonymity to those wishing to report suspicious activity.
The major thing is theres no caller ID, so it definitely is strictly anonymous, said Undersheriff James M. Monnat.
Anyone wishing to report possible criminal activity to department officials may now call 377-2020 and leave a message on the answering machine.
Nobody is going to answer the phone, Mr. Monnat said.
The answering machine for the tip line is in the sergeants office at the county Public Safety Building and will be checked on a daily basis by a sergeant on duty, possibly at the beginning or ending of his shift, Mr. Monnat said.
He said he envisions the new line being used by residents to advise police of things ranging from ongoing suspicious activities, like possible drug sales or usage, to someone possibly driving without a license.
It can be anything, Mr. Monnat said.
People always have been able to report such things by calling dispatchers at 911 for emergencies or 376-3511 for non-emergencies.
Upon request, dispatchers will withhold callers names in their reports, noting only that the caller was anonymous, Mr. Monnat said. However, they obviously know the telephone number from which the call was made.
The undersheriff said he hopes the new offering will appeal to people and will entice more residents to alert police to possible criminal activity.
They like reporting stuff, but they dont want to get involved in things, Mr. Monnat said.
Any emergencies or any activity afoot right then still would need to be reported through the 911 dispatch center, since messages left on the tip line may not be noticed for an extended period of time, Mr. Monnat said.

Product Test: Cuisinart Compact Grill
We bought the Cuisinart Compact Grill on sale at Macy's for $72. It has a reversible non-stick grill and griddle on top. Inside, there is a six piece auto-rotating skewer set and a six piece hot dog roller set.
Our tester, Anita tried out just about every part of the product. She fried an egg on top, cooked a hot dog and a kabab inside. She found that she really liked the product. It was easy to use and worked well. Anita says it does what it says but she just doesn't think she would pull it out and use it.

POLITICS AS USUAL by Jim Baron
Shove it?
Shove it?!?
The president of these United States can take his endorsement and shove it?
I'm sure that's what Democrat Frank Caprio said to the president of his own party. I know because after he said it in a radio interview, he called a press conference a few hours later for the specific purpose of saying, basically, "Yeah, you heard me, I told him to shove it," just in case someone had missed it the first time.
That press conference is what made it clear that this was not some petulant pop-off; it was a premeditated campaign strategy.
If you are not going to get the president's endorsement when he comes into town anyway, why not turn a negative into a positive, and make a big show of how you don't need the president's crummy endorsement. In fact, tell him he can shove it! That will get big headlines. It will make you the story of the day and not Barack Obama. And nobody will even mention Lincoln Chafee's name. This will go big on the cable news outlets and even the networks; maybe it will even get you some last minute national money from Obama foes across the country. Whaddaya got to lose?
Maybe the election.
Pre-planned or not, Caprio's vulgar and disrespectful remark was an unmitigated gaffe. If nothing else, it was ungubernatorial. It made Caprio seem like a punk. Obama's job approval ratings might not be too high right now, but most people don't like it when you insult the president; it leaves a bad taste in their mouths.
Politics ain't beanbag, and you can understand a governor saying that in a private conversation with his staff. But you don't call a press conference to say it, not on the day the president is flying into town.
That doesn't make you sound tough and independent. It makes you sound like a pouting crybaby, lashing out in peevish anger at not getting your own way.
Besides, Caprio might need Obama someday, especially if he wins the election.
Remember that famous New York Daily News headline: "Ford to City: Drop Dead"? Well, what happens if the state is hit with a big hurricane or devastating blizzard and Governor Caprio has to ask for federal emergency assistance? Will we see a headline in The Times or the Woonsocket Call that says: "Obama to RI: Shove It"?
Fewer incumbents
make for better races
Say what you will about the candidates for various offices this year, they have certainly made themselves available and have given voters more than ample opportunity to take their measure.
One reason is that there are so many prime seats that are open this time around; there is no incumbent governor, 1st District congressman, attorney general or general treasurer.
The four major candidates for governor must be sick of looking at each other already — they got together for countless debates and forums any time and any place a handful of people would show up and listen to them. They often had several debates in the same week and sometimes even twice a day. There were three televised debates just last week.
The gubernatorial candidates were boring as all get-out, God bless them, but at least they showed up and said their piece.
Even the sniping between Democrat Frank Caprio and Independent Lincoln Chafee was for the most part too petty for anyone to remember much past this Wednesday. (OK, that "shove it" incident did lively things up a bit, but that's the exception that proves the rule.) But no voter who has been paying attention can claim he or she doesn't have enough information to cast an intelligent vote.
The candidates in the 1st District congressional race were another matter – their debate on Channel 12 was a pitched political battle. I thought a couple of times that it might escalate to fisticuffs right on the PPAC stage (wouldn't that have been great!). It has to be said once again that Channel 12 stages political debates they way they should be done. Moderator Tim White gave Democrat David Cicilline and Republican John Loughlin plenty of room to argue back and forth and the heat it generated was enough to shed plenty of light on the diverse stands of the two men. If you didn't see it, you should watch it on the Channel 12 website; it is worth it for the entertainment value alone.
The contrast to that is the lame Channel 6 debate that they didn't even put on Channel 6, but ran on that RI News Channel. Whose idea was it to use those lame wild cards the candidates were stuck holding up? It made them look foolish. I was waiting for Vanna White to show up so the candidates could buy a vowel. The wild cards were bad in the Congressional debate; they were downright ludicrous in the governor debate. Give Channel 6 and the League of Women Voters kudos, however, for showcasing all seven gubernatorial candidates (but if you are going to have seven candidates, you really should give them more than one hour).
Cicilline and Loughlin also gave voters as much face time as they could ask for. Two weeks ago, they debated four times in the span of 36 hours. Give Cicilline credit, with his lead in the polls and in fundraising, he could have held back and hid behind TV ads, but he stood there and duked it out with Loughlin time and again. That seems like an even better idea with the polls showing Loughlin catching up at the end.
The campaign was fun while it lasted, fellow politics junkies, but tomorrow it's all over.
Let's keep our name;
it has nothing to do with slavery
I'm not big on pushing people to vote if they are not otherwise inclined to, but you should get out and vote tomorrow if for no other reason than to vote against that damned fool constitutional amendment to take "and Providence Plantations" out of the state's official name.
It would be a travesty if that nonsense were to prevail on a popular vote. At some point, even in politics, common sense must be allowed to trump emotion, and this is where I draw the line.
As every man, woman, child and every other half-sentient being must know by now, the word Plantations in Rhode Island's name has nothing to do with the cotton and tobacco fields in the antebellum South where African slaves were oppressed and mistreated.
Even supporters of the amendment acknowledge that by now but, perversely, they contend it doesn't matter. They are so invested in taking offense they insist that we act upon their misperception -- which by now is intentional -- and change the name of the state anyway.
The name Providence Plantations is not implicated in slavery, we should not be embarrassed or ashamed about it, and we should not erase it now or in the future.
As I have said before, removing those three words from the state's name is not going to improve the lot of a single person in this state, black, brown, white or green. We would be better off devoting our attention and our energy to something that could.

Video: Gov. Cuomo's 2013 Budget Plan Speech Part 3
Video: Gov. Cuomo's 2013 Budget Plan Speech Part 2
Video: Gov. Cuomo's 2013 Budget Plan Speech Part 1
Video: Gov. Cuomo's 2013 Budget Plan Speech Part 4
BUFFALO, NY-- New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was in Buffalo Thursday.
Governor Cuomo was at City Honors School in Buffalo to discuss his plan for the 2013 budget.
He told the mostly high school students that he wants to raise the minimum wage and that they are lucky to live in New York State.
You can watch the governor's speech in the video players along the side of this story.
Following his speech, the Governor fielded questions from reporters on a variety of topics, including the controversial NY SAFE Act which strengthens gun control laws, but --according to critics--does nothing to improve the safety of citizens and is onerous to law abiding legal gun owners.
The Erie County Legislature today became the latest in Western New York to pass a resolution asking the state to repeal and revise the SAFE Act.
"In terms of tweaking the law.....anyone who has read the newspaper or followed the news knows that's what we've been talking about from day one," Gov. Cuomo said in response to a question from WGRZ regarding whether he would be comfortable with the law being amended.
It might appear, however, that word of possible "tweaking" hasn't filtered down to the various county legislatures in Western New York, as well as legal gun owners who continue to raise their voices in opposition.
"The process, on a lot of these laws, has what's called a chapter amendments afterwards for technical corrections, and I would anticipate technical corrections on this bill," Cuomo said.
The Governor did not indicate whether those "corrections" might address restrictions which legal gun owners have cited as the most onerous to them, or whether he might agree to relaxing them.
These would include the limitation of legal magazines to seven rounds (which gun manufacturers currently don't make) or the requirement that certain weapons--while still legal--would have to be registered with police.
One part of the SAFE Act which Albany observers believe would be particularly ripe for a chapter amendment, is a section within the law which appears to make it illegal for police officers to carry their service weapons while off duty.
Such an amendment, it is believed, would even be supported by those who voted in favor of the SAFE Act.

Ask The Doctor: Iron for Infants
Not at all. Iron plays a vital role in your baby's health by helping make hemoglobin, a complex protein that ferries oxygen around the body. Low levels of iron can lead to iron-deficiency anemia, which can cause developmental problems. These include a delay in basic motor skills (sitting up, crawling, walking), behavioral and attention-deficit issues, a late start talking, fatigue, and an increased risk for blood clots and recurrent infection. But in many cases, iron-deficient babies may be symptom-free.
About 10 percent of children between the ages of 1 and 3 fail to get enough iron. Babies of anemic mothers, low-birth weight or premature babies, children exclusively breast-fed beyond 6 months of age, those receiving nonhuman milk (like cow, goat, rice, or soy), and infants put on low-iron formulas before age 1 have an increased risk of developing iron deficiency. If you think your baby may be iron deficient, ask your doctor for blood tests to screen for hemoglobin levels.
Help prevent iron deficiency by eating iron-rich foods (beef, poultry, eggs, beans, and legumes) or taking supplements during pregnancy. Also, at your baby's birth, delay clamping the umbilical cord for about two to three minutes to increase the amount of blood she receives from the placenta.
Exclusively breast-feeding for the first 6 months appears to protect a baby against anemia. (If you can't breast-feed, choose an iron-fortified formula.) After 6 months, breast milk alone will not provide sufficient iron, but most babies that age aren't ready to eat iron-rich foods like meat and legumes. Instead, feed your baby two daily servings of iron-fortified grains or a children's multivitamin with iron. Adding vitamin C-rich foods to your baby's diet also greatly increases iron absorption from the gut, helping ensure your baby gets the iron she needs to thrive.
Roy Steinbock, MD, is a holistic pediatrician in Boulder, Colorado.
Stave Off Anemia
1. The best way to prevent infant anemia is by breast-feeding, says homeopath Kathy Thorpe, CH. Enrich your breast milk by eating plenty of meat, eggs, leafy greens, prunes, figs, apricots, molasses, and sea vegetables.
2. Take the herbal iron tonic Floradix during pregnancy and while nursing. This liquid solution is derived from whole foods and won't cause constipation.
3. To maximize baby's iron absorption, give her 6c (the lowest potency) of the homeopathic remedy Ferrum metallicum once daily for a week followed by 12c (next highest potency) once daily for two weeks. Dissolve two pellets in 4 oz of distilled water and put a few drops on her tongue. —Nora Simmons

High-speed broadband Internet is a luxury unavailable to many rural dwellers in the north country, as telecommunications carriers often dont find it profitable enough to provide services here.
The Development Authority of the North Country aims to address that problem, however, by enticing carriers to extend service with a $1 million pot of low-interest loan funding. The north country telecommunications loan fund will offer funding for projects in rural communities in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. The revolving fund includes $500,000 from the Connect New York Broadband Grant program acquired this year, and a $500,000 match from DANC.
The board of directors will vote Thursday on establishing the fund; if it is approved, DANC then will accept loan applications from Internet carriers, local governments and industrial development agencies. Loans could be available for up to $500,000 per applicant, including affiliates. Interest rates on the five-year loans will be calculated by subtracting 2 percentage points from the prime lending rate as gauged by the Wall Street Journal, now 3.25 percent. Projects must be situated in underserved areas with no more than one telecommunications carrier.
James W. Wright, the authoritys CEO, said DANC wants the funding to attract local telecommunications carriers, such as Slic Network Connections and Westelcom, as well as recruit providers from outside the region. These so-called last-mile carriers, which connect services to customers homes, will partner with the authority by linking to its middle-mile network in the tri-county region. That 750-mile open access telecommunications network connects to the regions major telecommunications lines, extending east to Plattsburgh and south to Syracuse.
Most future broadband projects are expected to be developed in St. Lawrence and Lewis counties, because of their diverse geography and scattered populations, Mr. Wright said. Jefferson County also has rural pockets without broadband.
The problem with last-mile deployment is always the ease of (projects), which is hindered by the geography and number of people the carrier is going to reach, Mr. Wright said. If we have a pool of money thats available, (carriers) could provide additional communities with access to the network. There are new people in the telecommunications arena that are now trying new technology and a new means of deploying it.
David M. Wolf, telecommunications division manager for the authority, said several carriers have expressed interest in expanding service to rural parts of the north country. If carriers successfully apply for funding in the next six months, he said, its possible that projects could be completed in 2014.
Were hoping that in the next three to six months we have a couple of them that want to do it, and our goal would be next year to have people connected to the network, Mr. Wolf said.
Targeted areas probably will include pockets of about 100 to 150 homes outside of population centers, he said.
Areas without broadband Internet access include much of western St. Lawrence County and southern Lewis County. Some areas in northern Jefferson County, between Clayton and Philadelphia, are also without access.
Our preference would be to go where theres no one providing services, Mr. Wolf said. Were finding a portion of some areas are served, but not the rural parts outside it. So were hoping that carriers will work with us to reach those homes.

Ike Davis doesn't believe minors will help
According to Steven Marcus of Newsday, Ike Davis does not believe being sent down to the minors will help him.
"You've got to do it up here," Davis said, according to Marcus. "If you want to be a big-league baseball player, you're going to have to hit here. …It's not going to help me down there. If I hit .400 down there, what's it going to do up here? You can't just hit in the minor leagues. That's not going to help."
In addition, Davis told Newsday he feels he has been hitting the ball much better over the last two weeks.
In 171 at-bats this season, Davis is hitting just .164 with 10 extra-base hits and a .227 on-base percentage.
The argument in his favor is that, for now, the team is winning in his absence and his defense hasn't suffered and is still very important to the infield. Personally, I don't know enough about the psyche of big-league hitters to know whether this makes sense. I defer to the experts. That said, when Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez say on air, and other ex-players tell me when I ask, that Ike needs to go down, it signals to me that it's at least not a terrible idea. But, then what? Lucas Duda to first base, Jason Bay in left, Kirk Nieuwenhuis in right?

The family of the man who was shot during a drive-by shooting early Monday is offering a $5,000 reward to solve the crime.
Robert C. Hunt Jr., the father of victim Robert C. Hunt III, 24, of Three Mile Bay, said Tuesday morning his family is offering the reward to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of the shooter.
The father declined to comment further.
However, Detective Stephen R. Backus said Tuesday morning that police have no suspects but are looking at some leads in the shooting, which occurred shortly before 1 a.m. Monday at Ohio Street and Michigan Avenue.
So far, about 15 people have been interviewed during the investigation. Detective Backus also is asking the public for help in the case.
Police are talking to people with grudges involving those connected to the shooting, so they can eliminate them as possible persons of interest, the detective said.
The younger Mr. Hunt was sitting in his car when someone shot out of an eastbound car on Ohio Street, police said. Mr. Hunt is stable in a Syracuse hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Neither the police nor the family is saying how many times he was shot, whether he has been able to tell police much about the shooting or how many people were in the car.
The vehicle, described as either a dark-colored Chevrolet Cobalt or a red Chevy Cavalier, sped away and turned right on Colorado Avenue, Detective Backus said.
Residents of the neighborhood on the citys northeast side expressed uneasiness after hearing about the drive-by shooting. Neighbors heard four shots fired in rapid succession.
Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to call the Watertown Police Department at 782-2233.
Police had their hands full Sunday. Five hours earlier, a State Street man was stabbed to death in a J.B. Wise Place apartment. Police said the two crimes are not related.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advcoate publisher
It's been a long time since I was in the hospital for any kind of major, stay over, surgery. But my experience the last few weeks with a friend of mine who got sick has shown me what a circus all the aspects of health care can be.
About three weeks ago she developed a skin condition that seemed to get worse and worse. She made an appointment with a dermatologist. During the ensuing few days after she made the appointment she got very sick and weak. She got to the point she could hardly get out of bed. A single woman, living in Salt Lake, some of her friends helped out, but they all saw the deterioration. They finally took her to her appointment and it turned out she had a flesh eating disease and the sent her to emergency at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray. The looked at her and immediately admitted her to the hospital.
After a thorough examination, the doctors decided surgery was needed; extensive surgery. The disease had decimated part of her body and her kidneys had shut down. It really was touch and go for some time.
Up to that point things were done well. It was after that, the care and the rehab when we started to see that the entire systems is a mess.
She came out of surgery well and went to ICU. There she had a nurse that was very good for a couple of days and case workers who started to come in and talk to her about her future and what she would need to do. Finally she was removed from ICU and put on a care floor. While she was in ICU she had been told a lot of things from different people. Some of it contained mixed messages. One person would tell her one thing, while another would tell her another. I was there part of the time and other friends who stayed with her also heard these inconsistencies. And it wasn't just the nurses, social workers, respiratory therapists, etc. It was the myriad of doctors who came to see her. What was good was one nurse for each eight hour shift, the same every day, so they knew what she needed and what was going on.
That all changed on the care floor. The mixed messages became greater as resident doctors came in, some with great bed side manner, but one woman who wouldn't give anyone the time of day and basically treated her as if she were a child. Every shift brought on a new nurse; she never had the same nurse take care of her in the week she was on that floor. Each time it was like learning all over again. When friends weren't there, she would need things and no one would respond. The mixed messages about what she needed to do or what she would have to do, or even what was wrong with her continued at a greater pace.
Finally the case worker came in and wanted to talk to her about releasing her to a care center, mainly because the insurance wouldn't pay for any more days in the hospital. Her main doctor had requested she stay, but the insurance company overuled that. So he suggested she be sent to Promise, a special wound heal center at the old LDS Hospital. The insurance company said no and sent a list of places she could be released to. Her sister-in-law and I went out and examined some of these facilities before they were going to remove her. Of course what you can see and know on a visit is different than what you can see and know when one stays there. Most looked okay, but we had no idea.
So the insurance assigned her one and sent her there one afternoon before we knew it. By six o'clock that night we realized it was nothing that it seemed. It was a care center largely for Alzheimer's patients, not for a person with the kind of wound she had. Even the nurses at the center said they couldn't understand why she was sent there.
We finally got her admitted back into the hospital that night, because it was so bad. We basically had to threaten the insurance company to get her back where she should have never left. However, because we were requesting it after hours we had to use Gold Cross Ambulance to take her back through emergency, which the insurance, of course, is refusing to pay for. She left at 7 p.m. and it took until 1 a.m. to get her admitted again.
Again it was the same for the next three days. A parade of different people, all requiring the same information that 10 other people took time and time again because they were new and didn't know about the situation.
Again she was released to another care center. This one was better in terms of real care, but they treated her like a leper. In the hospital people were allowed to come and go and she was even taken for walks down the hall. In this place to visit you had to have a mask and a gown on when you went in her room and they sprayed your feet with a disinfectant when you left. She could not leave the room, period. She could not walk like she did in the hospital with the therapist. They were worried she would infect other patients. I thought that was a little odd since the actual hospital did not even seem worried about it. The food was terrible. Finally she said to all of us "I am checking myself out." She got ahold of her surgeon and told him she wanted home health care to come and take care of her. The surgeon was concerned but allowed her to go home.
Since then the care she has had at home has not been as good as we would have hoped (you know, the insurance, despite the fact they are saving bundles of money by not having her in a care center and instead having a nurse visit one hour a day) she is happier and is gaining on the disease. Her strength is coming back and she is able to even go out in her yard in her wheel chair and enjoy the air and her garden.
If this is the best health care in the world, as many claim it is throughout the medical conglomerate, then it must really be bad everywhere else. And I even left out many other gory details that I could have included but it would have made this piece much longer than it already is.
Governor Herbert can talk about how great IHC is all he wants, insurance companies can say they really take care of their insureds and hospitials can give us their credentials about the wonderful care they give patients.
But what I saw was largely an embarrassment. I know this was only one case, but how many more are there. Insurance companies control our health care, not doctors. The last report I saw said that our health care system is ranked 19th in the world. All the money we pay, all the money employers pay just goes into a system that is a mess.
I agree that Obamacare may not the answer, but neither is what we presently have.

The 23-year-old Nigerian who boarded an international flight for Detroit with a bomb in his underwear on Christmas Day reminded many people of the important lessons they learned from Sept. 11. Terrorism attracts worldwide attention again. Many people, especially the psychologists, start to think more about the motivation of terrorism and solution to it. What do the terrorists who attempted to strike U.S. territory in common? What is the allure of terrorism? Is religion the only reason?
Without systematic testing and empirical data it would be hubris to conclude that any social psychological model offers a solution in the fight against terror. Nevertheless, psychologists are trying to understand the motivation of terrorism from different perspectives. For example, in seeking to understand terrorism as an outcome of group identities and intergroup conflict, psychologists seek to understand the dynamics of heroic self-sacrifice and loyal commitment among actors who at the same time direct horrific violence to unwitting targets. They seek to evaluate terrorists' motivations by solidarity with in-group members under threat, by passionate struggles against injustice, by complex learned and intuited political calculations, and by emergent group identities and norms.
For example, according to social identity theory, individuals are proposed to have not only identities as individuals but also identities as social groups. As people identify themselves as group members they can become motivated to see that group as distinct from and better than other groups. When people identify with a group in conflict, a self-sacrificing action may be seen as psychologically beneficial even though the action leads to harmful consequences on an individual level, because the action benefits the group which is a part of themselves. It is group norms for appropriate behavior which in turn shape beliefs about the benefit or cost to the group of actions such as terrorism (Louis, 2009).

I like these, and they are great quality for the price. However, my son loves playing with the suction cups, and it's distracting. It's hard to get him to stop playing with the toothbrush (making it "pop" on the counter) long enough to get his teeth brushed.

Entrepreneurship education needs to be boosted Julkaistu: 08/02/2013, Viimeisin päivitys: 07/05/2014
Between 15% and 20% of students who participate in a mini-company programme in secondary school will later start their own company, a figure that is about three to six times of that of the general population.
Investing in education for entrepreneurship is one of the highest return investments policy-makers in Europe can make to support growth and business creation. Yet, according to a recent Eurobarometer Entrepreneurship survey three quarters of Europeans say that they have never taken part in an entrepreneurship course. The acquisition of entrepreneurial abilities also enhances the employability of our youth: according to recent research, 78% of entrepreneurship education alumni were employed directly after graduating at university, against 59 % of a control group of higher education students.
Today in Bologna at the fourth meeting of EU SME envoys, European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani, Commissioner for Industry and Entrepreneurship, presented recent Commission projects on educating the educators (see below). The SME envoys also discussed with VP Tajani and EU SME envoy Daniel Calleja Crespo the Entrepreneurship Action Plan launched in January, which contains initiatives for entrepreneurial education and training.
Since 2009 the EU has co-funded a series of projects to support entrepreneurship education:
Nine projects co-funded by the Commission already directly benefitted around 6 500 students and young people and 900 teachers. Considering the indirect effects (as a result of dissemination and information activities, production of pedagogical materials, etc.), the number of young people benefiting from those projects grows to at least 100 000. However the added value of these European projects lies especially in their potential for extension, transfer and wider dissemination within the Member States:
- The Entrepreneurship Summer Academies gave 320 higher education professors, lecturers and assistant professors from universities and polytechnics across Europe advanced training on how to teach entrepreneurship. This training was provided by some of the best experts in the field, coming from prestigious universities in Europe but also in the US. All these educators committed themselves to become the ambassadors of entrepreneurial learning in their respective institutions, thus ensuring a multiplier effect. In total, all EU co-funded projects have directly benefitted around 6 500 students and young people and 900 teachers.
- Three more projects were carried out on creating innovative pedagogical materials to be used in the classroom. Work on real business cases is one of the most effective ways to learn about entrepreneurship, but this method is not yet sufficiently widespread and very often case studies in use are imported from the US, instead of having a European and a local dimension. Thanks to this initiative, 88 new case studies were created, all based on European businesses.
Entrepreneurship education and Secondary schools
In the Entrepreneurship Action Plan the Commission invited Member States to offer the young people the opportunity to have at least one practical entrepreneurial experience before leaving compulsory education, such as running a mini-company, being responsible for an entrepreneurial project for a company or a social project. The Commission also intends to establish, as part of the "SME Week", a Europe-wide EU Entrepreneurship Day for students in their last year of secondary education. Events could include meetings with entrepreneurs, case studies, lectures, workshops and company open days.
Entrepreneurship education and Higher education
The role of higher education in entrepreneurship goes far beyond the delivery of knowledge to participating in ecosystems, partnerships and industrial alliances. With high-tech and high growth enterprises increasingly becoming a focus of entrepreneurship-related public policies, higher education institutions are an active component of the innovation policies of Member States. EU Higher education in entrepreneurship can boost high-tech and high growth companies by supporting business ecosystems, partnerships and industrial alliances.

A $30,000 study into the feasibility of a regional high school at Heuvelton Central School serving Hermon-DeKalb and Morristown Central Schools is branching out to study other possible cost-saving measures.
Philip M. Martin, former superintendent at Fayetteville-Manlius Central School, was hired last year to conduct the study and is currently gathering data from each of the three school districts involved. His final report is due June 30.
St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services Superintendent Thomas R. Burns, who is helping Heuvelton, Hermon-DeKalb and Morristown conduct the study, said Mr. Martin will be looking at more than just regional high schools in light of a lack of enthusiasm at the state level for new legislation authorizing such schools. The state currently has no legal framework to create regional high schools.
Mr. Martin has been also asked by participating superintendents to look at mergers and tuitioning, or a district paying tuition for students to attend another.
Some of that data will be captured, Mr. Burns said.
There has not been any indication from [the superintendents] that they have any one direction to go in, Mr. Martin said Friday.
Mr. Martin added that tuitioning is a particularly compelling candidate for consideration at this point because it is a relatively short-term solution.
Clearly that is a definite interest on their part, he said. They are considering it conceptually.
This isnt Mr. Martins first time studying regional high schools.
In 2010 Mr. Martin conducted a feasibility study on behalf of 11 school districts in Wayne County. That project, unlike the current endeavor, was state funded.
Although the districts were interested in looking at examining the regional high school, they really were interested in learning how they could share services further, Mr. Martin said.
The 2010 Regional High School Feasibility Study, contracted through the Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES, determined that some savings could be achieved if a regional approach was taken.
It was determined that the operating budget savings in creating four regional high schools when compared with the 11 existing high schools could save approximately three percent of the costs, the report states. The regional high school concept would retain all 11 school districts, all 11 boards of education, all 11 superintendents, and would maintain all existing elementary schools and all existing middle schools in their current locations. At the same time, the existing 11 high schools would be combined into larger high school units, thereby increasing the curricular opportunities for students.
Two and a half years after the Wayne County study was finished, there are still no regional high schools.
Even though these 11 districts signed onto do the regional high school study, their focus shifted from regional high schools to sharing services, he said.
State lawmakers have not been eager to introduce new legislation allowing districts to form regional high schools.
The 2010 study noted that many questions surrounding the regional high school concept need to be answered by state officials, such as the structure of an oversight board, funding, credit for students and from which entity diplomas would be awarded.
Mr. Martins 2010 study also recognized the need for financial incentives from the state to make regional high schools cost effective.
So far for the three St. Lawrence County districts, Mr. Martin said its too early to say which avenue is most feasible.
He said he hopes to have more concrete information by mid-March.

Five new coffees this week from a vast group of origins
November 13, 2014
Kenya Nyeri Gatomboya AA has citric highs, ripe fruits, and developed sugar sweetness, this is a stellar AA outturn, well worth the premium we paid.
Costa Rica San Martin de Leon Cortes is our last Costa Rica of the season, a classically "clean" coffee, a sweetness like honey and top notes of tea and apple permeate from the cup.
Brazil Fazenda Junqueira Reis is a welcome addition. The profile is centered around a culmination of dried fruits, roasted nut, and bittersweet cocoa. A nice, rounded Brazil.
Guatemala Patzun - Finca Santa Anita is a balanced cup, with stone fruit notes, and a thick, viscous body.
Guatemala Huehuetenagno Michicoy focuses on developed flavors of caramel and cocoa powder.

POTSDAM SUNY Potsdams Greek Life Task Force is expected to make recommendations to the college Presidents Council this summer in an effort to curb repeated incidents of hazing and alcohol abuse.
The 11-member task force has spent the past three months gathering information from community members, college officials and students, and now will begin to come up with its recommendations. No option is off the table, including complete dismantling of Greek life at SUNY Potsdam, said task force chairman Alan L. Hersker.
The task force held a public meeting Monday to discuss the issue with community members, but the attendees were almost all students. Everyone who spoke during the meeting was a member of a fraternity or sorority.
Mr. Hersker said he was disappointed by the lack of community turnout, and hopes to conduct a survey among village residents in the coming weeks.
Students who spoke out Monday said their uncertain future left them confused about how to plan events for next semester.
Fraternities and sororities usually receive support and instructions from the Greek Life office, which is unsure how to proceed until it receives word from the Presidents Council. The council, in turn, is awaiting recommendations from the task force, and the task force is not ready to make a decision.
Were not going to say anything until we are comfortable that we can be knowledgeable and thoughtful with our answer, Mr. Hersker said.
Junior Andrew J. Munoz, of New York City, a member of Phi Mu Alpha, said bad behavior from a few fraternities has led to a situation that may punish upstanding houses unfairly.
I can see where the administration is coming from. There needs to be change, he said. But a lot of these houses have been here for decades.
Mr. Munoz said he is optimistic that Greek life will remain, even if new restrictions are in force.
Mr. Hersker said that Greek organizations have positive and negative attributes, but that a lack of communication and recent bad behavior have made change a priority.
The system as it stands is not working, he said.
