Heart disease is the number one killer of women in Utah, though many still think it's a "man's disease". In 2005, heart disease and stroke killed seven women every day, or one woman every three hours. Nationwide, one of every 2.5 women dies from heart disease and stroke.
But the good news is that they can largely be prevented. For that reason, the Southeastern Utah District Health Department (SEUDHD) has joined The Heart Truth and Go Red, awareness campaign for women and the men who love them, to consider their heart health while taking action to fight women's heart disease.
To stimulate heart disease and stroke awareness and help women live heart healthy lifestyles, SEUDHD will be hosting a National Wear Red Day Luncheon on Feb. 21, in the College of Eastern Utah Leavitt Student Center from noon to 1:30 p.m., with guest speaker, Paula F. Julander, R.N. M.S.N., former state senator. Women and men alike are encouraged to 'Wear Red' in their own fashion.
"We can no longer ignore heart disease," said Dave Cunningham, health officer "Too often in Utah, women are so concerned with their families that they forget to take care of themselves. While awareness is important, it's time for women to take action now - to love and protect their hearts while maintaining healthier lifestyles. To that end, Go Red for Women encourages women to not only join the movement but also take simple, everyday steps to protect their hearts."
Being overweight or obese, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking can increase the risk for heart disease. Women also can have different risk factors and warning signs than men do:
Almost 10 percent of women in Utah are smokers putting them at increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Over a third of Utah women ages 50+ (43.7 percent) have been diagnosed with high cholesterol, and 40.7 percent have been told they have high blood pressure.
High blood pressure is more common in women taking oral contraceptives, especially in obese and older women, than in women not taking them.
The risk for heart disease and stroke among women with diabetes is two to four times higher than that for women without diabetes. Fifty percent of Utah women are overweight or obese.
Symptoms of heart attack for women are more likely to include pain or discomfort in other areas of the body besides the chest, such as one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach. Nausea is more common too.
In Utah, approximately 46 percent more women than men die of strokes each year.
When experiencing a stroke, women may be likely to report feeling sensations that aren't "traditional" stroke symptoms such as pain and changes in consciousness and disorientation
The SEUDHD urges women to join the fight for heart health
First, love your heart. Learn to connect with and love this vital organ by knowing your numbers: cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight. Ask your doctor questions about your personal risk for heart disease.
Second, go red in your own fashion. Going red in your own fashion is about finding your personal way to take part in the fight against heart disease in women. Whether it's visiting your health care provider, eating a healthier diet, increasing your exercise, purchasing products that support the cause, or wearing red and a red dress pin on National Wear Red Day - you can take action to love your heart. The Red Dress symbol is a reminder of the strength we have as women to collectively fight heart disease
Finally, participate in National Wear Red Day. This day is always on the first Friday in February. Millions of Americans will be wearing red to show their support for women and the fight against heart disease. But don't just stop there. The whole month of February is American Heart Month. Let your red shine all month, or even all year long.

Our Really Smart Template
The Admissions website is our very first "Smart" template, meaning, it adapts to each particular user. Upon visiting the website, the user is asked to choose an audience (pre-collegiate, undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, or any subset within these audiences). While you are not required to choose an audience, the site caters to the user when they do choose. The filters can easily be removed by clicking the "x" next to the audience title near the top of the page.
No more fumbling through 15 paragraphs of unnecessary information!
If "undergraduate" is chosen, the user will only see undergraduate information. This also benefits our international, transfer, or precollegiate audiences by only showing the user what is necessary rather than confusing them with information meant for other audiences.
Find Your Counselor Easily
Counselor searches are tailored to each audience as well. While precollegiate and doctoral students have the same contacts for all students, undergraduate counselors are determined by state (and sometimes county), while graduate counselors are determined by department of study.
Seamless Integration
The Admissions site hyperlinks will also change depending on the audience. For example, graduate and undergraduate students currently fill out different applications, and that change is seamlessly handled with this template. So seamless, you won't even notice it!

today's tutorial we are going to teach you how to make an advanced honeycomb preloader. We know there are a lot of sites out there that teach you how to make a simple preloader but thought it would be a bit more fun to show you how to make something that is a little bit different.
Because this tutorial is a little bit different we are going to supply you with the graphics at the beginning of this tutorial so that you can use the graphics we have created when you follow this, Download Source click here to get the graphics now.
Also for this project you will need Green Sock's Tween Max this can be downloaded by visiting their blog which can be found here.
Now that you have the required extra components that we will require for this project lets begin by opening flash (this project can be made in either CS3 or CS4).
Lets create a new flash AS3.0 file because we have made our graphics very large we will need to resize the stage to 600px by 400px and once again we will set the stage colour to black.
Now lets import our graphics to our library, to do this we need to go to file, import, import to library. In the screen that pops up we need to select the 3 graphics files entitled "Preloader Graphics HOLDER.png", "Preloader Graphics LARGE.png" and "Preloader Graphics SMALL.png".
Now that we have our graphics in our library we can begin to construct our preloader, on the first frame on the first layer lets drag our Preloader Graphics HOLDER.png to the center of the stage.
With our holder in the center of the stage lets lock its layer and create a new layer above it, On this new layer we want to drag out one copy of our "Preloader Graphics LARGE.png" and convert it to a movie clip with the registration point set to the center.
Next we want to drag a copy of our "Preloader Graphics SMALL.png" to the same layer and again convert this to a movie clip with its registration point set to the center.
Ok so now we have 2 movie clips on the stage our next few steps are the not the best way to do this as it could be done with actionscript but to keep this simple we are going to do it this way anyway.
We now want to drag out copies of our two newly created movie clips to the stage so that we have each of the holder spaces with a movie clip above them.
We should now have 10 movie clips on the stage, now we need to give each one an instance name, we are naming ours Hex1_mc through to Hex10_mc in the sequence that we want them to appear as the project loads.
Now that all of our movie clips have an instance name we want to set their alpha property to 0 this will make them transparent as we will be making them appear as the movie loads. So lets move over to the properties panel for each clip and set the alpha mode to 0.
We now have all of our movie clips transparent so lets lock this layer and create another new layer, on this new layer we want to create a dynamic text area with nothing inside it. We are setting the font colour to white and the font size to 12pt. We are giving our dynamic text the instance name of "loader_txt".
With all of our components made its now time to setup all the code that will make our preloader function, i would now recommend that you create a folder and save your file in that new folder. There are a lot of people who do not know how to set the class path of tween max correctly so we recommend that in your new folder you copy the gs folder from "tween max" into your newly created folder, this way we know that your file will function as it should.
Once you have done that we need to create a new layer on our time line and enter the actions panel, once we are in the actions panel we need to input the following code (we are not going to detail what all of the code does as we have commented the code so that you can see what it does when you paste it into your actionscript panel):-
//Import TweenMax import gs.*; //Make the movie stop on the frame stop(); //calls the event listener to listen for the loading function this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading); //Building the loading function function loading(e:Event):void{ var total:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal; var loaded:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded; var loadedPercentage:Number = (loaded/total) * 100; //makes the dynamic text display the % loaded loader_txt.text = Math.floor((loaded/total)*100)+ "%"; //If over 9% is loaded, tween the first hex. if (loadedPercentage > 9) { //Tween the hex TweenMax.to(Hex1_mc, 1, {alpha:1}); } //If over 18% is loaded, tween the second hex. if (loadedPercentage > 18) { //Tween the hex TweenMax.to(Hex2_mc, 1, {alpha:1}); } //If over 27% is loaded, tween the third hex. if (loadedPercentage > 27) { //Tween the hex TweenMax.to(Hex3_mc, 1, {alpha:1}); } //If over 36% is loaded, tween the fourth hex. if (loadedPercentage > 36) { //Tween the hex TweenMax.to(Hex4_mc, 1, {alpha:1}); } //If over 45% is loaded, tween the fifth hex. if (loadedPercentage > 45) { //Tween the hex TweenMax.to(Hex5_mc, 1, {alpha:1}); } //If over 54% is loaded, tween the sixth hex. if (loadedPercentage > 54) { //Tween the hex TweenMax.to(Hex6_mc, 1, {alpha:1}); } //If over 63% is loaded, tween the seventh hex. if (loadedPercentage > 63) { //Tween the hex TweenMax.to(Hex7_mc, 1, {alpha:1}); } //If over 72% is loaded, tween the eigth hex. if (loadedPercentage > 72) { //Tween the hex TweenMax.to(Hex8_mc, 1, {alpha:1}); } //If over 81% is loaded, tween the ninth hex. if (loadedPercentage > 81) { //Tween the hex TweenMax.to(Hex9_mc, 1, {alpha:1}); } //If 90% is loaded, tween the tenth hex. if (loadedPercentage > 90) { //Tween the hex TweenMax.to(Hex10_mc, 1, {alpha:1}); } //tells the movie if everything is loaded to remove the loading function and play the next frame if (total == loaded){ play(); this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading); } }
Now that the code is in place we need to make sure that we give our preloader something to load so lets create a new layer under our actions layer, then add a new keyframe to the layer at frame 2, on this layer we will add a picture but this is where you could add a menu or anything you wanted to load. we will also create a new blank keyframe on the second frame of the actions layer that just has the code "stop();" written into it to make sure that the movie stops once it has loaded the picture.
Go ahead and test you movie you will have to select the simulate download from the view options window but your loader will now load any content that you have in your movie.
If you experience any issues with the project please refer to the source files that you can find here, you are free to use the graphics included with the project to experiment with however these may not be used on any projects published to any website with out our prior consent.

Quotes from Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden on R.A. Dickey winning the Cy Young
Hall of Famer Tom Seaver had the following to say about R.A. Dickey winning the Cy Young Award:
"My hat's off to Mr. Dickey. I watched one of his outings when I was in town and I was amazed by his control. I was always looking for new ammunition to bring to the mound so I attempted the knuckleball. It's a very difficult pitch to throw and needless to say, I never mastered it. I congratulate him on his tenacity not only to succeed against all odds but to excel and achieve this very high honor. I look forward to congratulating him personally."
In addition, Dwight Gooden said the following about Dickey:
"I saw R.A. pitch at least 10 times this year. I'm really amazed how he was able to remake his career. I never even thought about throwing a knuckleball. To win the Cy Young Award at his age is more incredible than when I won at age 20."
Dickey joins Seaver (1969, 1973, 1975) and Gooden (1985) among Mets who have now won the award.

The winter has been a doozy. Atlanta was frozen solid, the Northeast experienced widespread power outages, and the Polar Vortex made headlines with record low temperatures.
One thing people have found themselves doing plenty of this winter, aside from complaining about the cold, is shoveling snow. Shoveling snow isn't easy, especially if your shovel is made of plastic. Ice can chip and crack a plastic shovel, making it a pain to work with.
One handy Instructables user, Phil Bohlken, has found a way to modify a fragile plastic shovel, making it more than capable of cracking through ice.
If you're as handy as Phil, turning your plastic shovel into an ice-destroying super shovel shouldn't be too difficult.
What you'll need:
The basic idea is to replace the edge of the plastic shovel with a more durable edge made of steel. If it seems a bit complicated, don't worry — Phil B's instructions are clear and concise.
Of course, you can always buy a metal-edged snow shovel from most stores, if you're not up to the challenge.
Shoveling snow is difficult, yes, but what if you have to make a longer-than-expected trek in snow and ice? Winter weather complicates any emergency situation, especially if you're unprepared.
Crampons can come in handy if you find yourself in a situation where walking through snow and ice is a necessity. Crampons help with traction, making your trudge a bit easier.
Crampons can sell for anywhere between $50 and $200 retail.
Why spend the money? Instructables user Hyperfocused72 managed to make a set of emergency crampons with little more than chain and chord. Though they're not suitable for mountain climbing, they would come in handy in an emergency.
What you'll need:
After assembling your crampons, they're pretty easy to stick on a boot. Here's a short example of how the crampons work.

Cool T-Shirts
Cool Never Goes Out of Style
Cool t-shirts are t-shirts that get you noticed. They get a laugh, make people think, or maybe they get the cute girl or guy across the room to notice you. Cool t-shirts say a lot about the person wearing them like, "hey, that guy's pretty cool", or "that girl is really funny", or "he must be super smart." They can speak volumes about you before you even open your mouth.
The kicker, though, is to find the right cool t-shirt because, just as a really good t-shirt can shine a pretty nice light on you, a bad one works in just the opposite way. Don't believe us? Go ahead; wear that old, ratty t-shirt that used to be white but now is a weird, kind of off-yellow color. You know the one… it's got a hole under the armpit and has a very distinct odor to it. Yup. That one. Wear that t-shirt out tonight and see what happens! Get the point? Good.
Spreadshirt's Marketplace is jam packed with cool t-shirts that will surely send the message you're looking to put out there- unless that message is "this t-shirt is old and smells funny." If that's the case, you don't need one of our cool t-shirts. You can just wear that other one.
Spreadshirt's t-shirts are made from only the finest pre-shrunk cotton, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit wash after wash. Our state-of-the-art printing processes are tried and tested to make sure your designs won't peel, crack, fade or bubble. Check out our Marketplace for your next cool t-shirt today.

I've commented on a few lists recently, so it's only fair I post my list for this year. I'm more than likely doing the PCT in 2014 so I will consider the CT this year to be my shakedown hike with some of my new gear and a new big 3.My old big 3:Pack - SMD SwiftQuilt - Jack's R Better Sierra snivelerShelter - TarpTent MomentWhen I decided I was doing the CT last May, my goal was to have a 12 pound base weight. Looks like I nailed that one on the head. I probably could go lighter on the clothing, but frankly I don't trust mother nature in alpine. I guess I like to be prepared for adverse weather and I guess I hate being cold. However, I like being in the cold. :)It looks like Colorado is getting some recent snow. I'm starting on June 28th, so if there's still snow up there I'll add in a pair of seal skinz, some MLD gaiters and possibly some Micro Spikes. Too early to tell, I guess. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ammqoa4aOoh8dF96MGF4SHNQYVlXRGQ1SUlEUy1tY1E&usp=sharingThanksEdit: Had trouble with the link.
Edited by phstudio on 04/09/2013 18:54:07 MDT.
Things look good to me. Only comment I have is on the Katabatic Gear Swatch. I use the Palisade and love it. It's the 30 degree quilt and it is very accurate with its rating. I've actually used in down to 22 degrees with a lightweight down jacket. Was very cozy. On one 30 degree night all I wore was my lightweight Icebreaker long underwear bottoms and top. I had to sleep in a valley on wet ground and I was very, very warm. Didn't want to get up for the pee break, but nature called very loudly that night. And, I was rewarded with a great night sky. Mine is a long version and weighs just about 18 oz. If I need a bit more warmth or protection I use their Bristlecone bivy under my shelter. It adds unbelievable warmth for 7 oz. You look like you are all set....
Edit - the wrong gear list came up back in a second.
Edited by Cameron on 04/09/2013 19:23:17 MDT.
Looks like a very solid list. My only question is with the pack. I think the Windrunner 2400 will be a great pack, its layout is similar to the pack I used on the CT. However would you prefer the 3400 model? I think with your kit 2400 inches will be enough on the CT but you might want the extra space if you are doing the PCT later. The weight penaly for the extra space is pretty small.Other then that it looks pretty solid, hope you have fun. I'd suggest learning about weather patterns a bit. Might come in handy in deciding whether to push over one last pass or not.
@Reggie You'll have to trust me, I sleep very, very cold. I can literally sleep comfortably in my Sierra Sniveler quilt at 68 degrees F with my arms tucked in. All this winter I have been dreaming of and coveting a nice warm Sawatch while I've been not so warm in my present quilt. Also, I can't wait to push the Sawatch next winter in my local mountains. That said, I do plan on adding a Enlightened Equip 30 degree quilt into my quiver early next year, but just not for this hike. I'll let you know if I end up roasting on my CT trip. :)@LukeSorry for the original bad link. Good question! My present pack, the SMD Swift, is roughly the same size as the Windrider 2400. I was able to get my gear, a bear canister and 10 days worth of food into my Swift for my 2011 JMT hike. Just barely, though(overflow food was in a Ursak). I'll double check with my gear when I get it and do an exchange if needed. About the weather. Note to self: Do not die from lightning strikes! Yes, I need to read up on that. Thanks.Edit: D'oh! Spelling and grammatical errors.

That was the scariest part of the trip! REI sells a booklet on lightning safety. I think its by Mountaineer Press and its also available on kindle. I'd buy the hard copy because the diagrams and pictures are too small on a kindle. If you'd like I can give you a pretty detailed list of the hairy spots and where there are place to hunker down.
Here's a good resource on lightning safety (note: link opens a PDF): http://www.pcta.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/BackcountryLightningSafety.pdfThe only thing I disagree with in that PDF is the "lightning position". I don't think it would do any good and it's impractical to maintain for extended periods of time.
@JohnHoly cr@p, that pdf might give a nightmare! :) So much death and destruction. Very good info, though. Thanks!@LukeI'll check out that book. I'd be foolish to pass up any first hand knowledge you might want to pass on. I think others can benefit too. Very much obliged!
Sorry I can't open your gear list, but I did the CT in July 2011. The thunder and lightening storms are for real! I would be prepared for that as well as a lot of rain, hail and snow, you'll see it all, especially since you're starting early. The storms are generally in the afternoon, but can occur as early as 1200.I also had the Palisade 30F quilt and I was always plenty warm. On really cold nights I just put more clothes on.Have fun!
Mike do you have a data book yet? I just discovered I have my databook and some maps from the trip here. Tomorrow I'll try to post some thoughts on where to watch out. If you know where the hiding spots are you can weigh risks better.
Luke, I don't have it yet as the last edition is sold out and apparently with the addition of the new West Collegiate route and loop, they are pretty late with the new edition. They might not even come out with it in time. If that's the case I'll probably just buy a used edition off of Amazon to supplement my CT Atlas from Erik the Black.Thanks
Okay here is my best attempt to list everything place on the CT that is exposed to lighting danger. I use major landmarks like passes for easy reference. An exposed area may start slightly before or after a major landmark. Distances are my best estimate using Hillmap.com of how much trail is actually above treeline. Note - You are responsible for your own safety here! I list even marginal sheltered spots just so you know were they are in case of an emergency. Use your head!When I say a places is okay in "marginal weather" I mean this. "Marginal Weather" means a thunderstorm is possible but I expect to have 15-30 minutes before it gets really bad to find shelter. I would not start hiking across Snow Mesa in "Marginal" weather for example. Here are all the high and exposed spots from North to South.1. George Pass - 1.5-2 miles above treeline2. Ten Mile Range - 4 miles above treeline, no bail out points, very high and exposed in places. 3. Searle Pass to Kokomo Pass Area- 4-5 miles above treeline from Guller creek to basin below Kokomo Pass. Willows at the top of several small creeks are a spot to hunker down in an emergency (only in an emergancy!). 4. Holy Cross Wilderness - 3-4 miles in sub alpine forest with one two ridge crossings above treeline. Dangerous area in thunderstorm, bail out options make it okay in marginal weather. 5. Collegiate Peaks Wilderness (northern section) - Trail close to timberline at times. Mostly safe except during a bad thunderstorm, quick bail outs. 6. Collegiate Peaks Wilderness (southern section after North Fork Cottonwood Cr) - Saddle in trees not exposed. For great view walk through trees to open ridge to the east (not on trail). 7. Monarch Pass Area - 3.5-4 miles above timberline in two sections with a forested saddle in between. 8. La Garita Wilderness Part 1 - 3-4 miles above treeline starting at Cachetopa Creek headwaters. Trail briefly enters forest again at the end. 9. La Garita Wilderness Part 2 - From treeline the trail climbs up for about 1.5-2 miles to San Luis Pass. Trail is very exposed. Bail out option at San Luis pass, forest is just to north down overgrown side trail.10. La Garita Wilderness Part 3 - San Luis Pass to East Mineral Creek Headwaters, very high and exposed for 2-3 miles.11. La Garita Wilderness Part 4 - East Mineral Creek to West Mineral Creek Headwaters, CT goes over two small passes above timberline, briefly in trees at the top of each drainage. 12. West Mineral Creek across Snow Mesa - 7-8 miles no trees, very exposed in places.13. Jarosa Mesa to Big Buck Creek headwaters - 6-7 miles, no trees. Trees at headwaters of Big Buck Creek (I believe there was a Yurt around here too).14. Ruby Creek Headwaters to Carson Saddle - 8-9 miles, no shelter, high and exposed, do not do this if the weather looks bad. At Carson Saddle a dirt road leads down to treeline (not on trail). Stealth campsite in willows above trail on right. Note this willow campsite is is the best campsite I am aware of between here and Elk Park. It is not perfect but the willows provide a bit of a wind break and its probably one of the safer places to camp above treeline. 15. Carson Saddle to Elk Park - 20+ miles, no shelter, some places very exposed. Look at a map for possible exit routes if weather gets bad. 16. Molas Pass to West Lime Creek Headwaters - Trail stays close to treeline for the most part. Avoid in bad weather but bail out options make it okay in marginal weather.17. West Lime Creek Headwaters to Rolling Pass - 3-4 miles, no shelter until the basin below Rolling Pass. 18. Grayskil Creek to Bolam Pass - 1-2 miles above treeline. Most exposed on Rolling Pass.19. Bolam Pass to Blackhawk Pass - This whole section is tricky because you are either close to treeline (below Harmosa Peak) or walking a narrow ridge that is exposed whether you are technically above treeline or not. Its not as bad as some of the other areas but if a thunderstorm started I'd probably stop at the first good spot and wait it out. 20. Blackhawk Pass - 1.5 miles above treeline. The creek south of Blackhawk Pass was the last water between here and Kennebec Lake when I finished the trail in September of 2012. 21. Indian Trail Ridge - Trail follows high narrow ridge. Forest ends south of Cape Good Hope Trail. Some parts of ridge very exposed with no exits but it is possible to go down from several saddles to the west.22. Kennebec Pass Area - 3 miles mostly above treeline. Some trees in basin. Last above treeline spot before Durango.
Luke, thanks a bunch for your insights! I really appreciate the time you have taken to do this. I'm going to print this out (at a reduced font size, of course. Don't want to have too much paper weight :)) and put it in with my maps.
Hope it helps. I did my best but it makes more sense if you have a map in front of you. I'd suggest looking at Hillmap.com. Good place to print off topo maps for free.

You give him the swf and keep the .fla file (with the code) for you.
The php files wouldn't work without the swf, because you can create a variable that can be sent from Flash and then convert it to md5 hexadecimal value.
I dunno, Just an idea...
You'll have to install Mysql + Apache + Flash plugin in his machine.

A Watertown man faces up to three years in state prison after pleading guilty Friday in Jefferson County Court to a charge that he tried to possess a knife at a city tavern.
Ricky L. Hodkinson II, 28, whose last known address was 140 High St., Apt. 6, pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He entered his plea using an Alford plea, meaning he did not admit the to the underlying facts in the case, but was pleading guilty to avoid the possibility of being convicted of a more serious offense at trial.
He was charged Nov. 16 with trying to possess a knife with the intent to use it unlawfully against Randy A. Hardison, Watertown, at Arties Tavern, 329 High St. Police said at the time that Mr. Hardison suffered a stab wound to his leg.
Mr. Hodkinson is expected to be sentenced March 4 to one to three years in prison. He will be sentenced as a second-felony offender, having been sentenced in 2004 in County Court to five years probation after he pleaded guilty to second-degree menacing for threatening his mother with a sword.
In other court activity:
Felix Almonte, 34, an inmate at Five Points Correctional Facility, Romulus, pleaded guilty by mail to third-degree assault. He had been accused in November of taking part in the gang beating of Victor Carpio while both men were incarcerated at Cape Vincent Correctional Facility. He subsequently was sentenced to time served. He is serving a term started in June of up to three years for attempted first-degree reckless endangerment, according to the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision website. That sentence will continue.
Zane K. Abrahamson, 23, Fort Drum, was sentenced to an unspecified amount of time served at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and five years probation for a Nov. 30 guilty plea to third-degree burglary. He admitted that, with others, he went into the residence of Jacob J. Traynor on James Street in Clayton with the intent to steal something Oct. 30. State police said at the time that heroin and cash were taken from the residence.
Travis S. Martin, 29, whose last known address was 631 S. Hycliff Drive, Apt. C, was sentenced to time served at the PSB and three additional years probation for a Dec. 17 guilty plea to third-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and an admission that he violated probation. He admitted that on Oct. 19 in Watertown, he possessed a fake state Department of Motor Vehicles document purporting that he could legally drive when his drivers license had been revoked for a 2011 driving while ability impaired conviction in County Court. He was sentenced to three years probation for the DWAI offense. He admitted that he violated probation by being convicted of the new crime.
Danilo J. Gonzalez, 26, whose last known address was 324 Academy St., Apt. B, was sentenced to time served at the PSB and three years probation for Nov. 19 guilty pleas to misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and second-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. He admitted driving while intoxicated Sept. 16 on Route 12 in the town of Watertown while his drivers license was suspended or revoked for a prior alcohol-related offense. He also was fined $750 and was ordered to install an ignition interlock device in any vehicle he owns or operates.

The Emery County School District has made the decision to close Cleveland Elementary School until Monday Oct. 19.
The school had nearly 50 percent student absenteeism Monday and Tuesday due to student illness. The decision to close it for a few days took place on Tuesday afternoon.
Cleveland Elementary School is a small school with a student population of 187 students, located in north central Emery County.
The illnesses being reported are varied and are not all related to H1N1 virus. The local health department is also working with community and church leaders to curtail community and church related activities involving children who attend Cleveland Elementary School for the next several days.
The school district has also asked parents to keep children home during the school closure and to curtail activities that allow students to congregate with friends or in groups.
While the Center for Disease Control (CDC) does not recommend school closure to control the spread of the flu (the idea being that it is better to keep healthy kids in school and have sick kids stay home), the school district said in a release that it feels the rate of illness at the school is disrupting education and that it would be better to close for a few days to allow students to heal.
While other schools are not currently experiencing the same rate of illness that Cleveland Elementary has seen, the district, in consultation with the Southeastern Utah Health Department, will assess the need to close schools on a school-by-school basis. The district is also advising their schools to be cooperative and flexible with students and parents with regard to providing homework and with attendance policies during this flu season.

Comments about Director's Showcase Leather Fingerless Gloves:
These gloves are cofmortable and flexible. My only complaint is that the nude color is kind of weird. It's not even a remotely natural color, as many other gloves are. They're kind of an odd yellowish-beige color, which you can kind of make out in the picture, but I guess it just threw me off when I first got them. I'm going to keep these as a backup pair and buy another more natural color brand for my primary pair, especially for performances.

Kris Parins
Earning a BS degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Related Art stoked my passion for fibers, fabrics, and fashion. In the 1980s Johanna Axelrod and I partnered in a retail yarn shop in Green Bay, WI and stocked it with supplies for area fiber artists. My original needlework designs appeared in national magazines.
In 1986 I returned to the University of Wisconsin and studied graphic design. Fortunately I began my career in graphics at the time the computer was first used as a design tool, and was able to learn those skills right along with more experienced designers. This professional experience gave me a good level of confidence on the computer. I worked as an art director and account executive for advertising agencies, Lawrence University, and Arketype, a design firm. It was at Arketype that I tried my hand at doing some watercolor illustrations for a client's product graphics. When the client liked the paintings and the resulting products were marketed nationwide at Target and Home Depot, I started thinking in terms of a career as an illustrator/painter.
Since 1998, I have been a freelance artist. My trusty Mac computer, along with my digital camera, are integral to my creative process. I spend summers on a small lake in northern Wisconsin with my husband Dick and our border collie. The studio has windows facing the lake, and is comfortably messy with a lifetime collection of art and craft supplies. We spend winters in a community of artists in Sarasota Florida. The family creativity was passed on, as our daughter Katy Gray is a photographer and son Bob Parins is a singer/songwriter.
Frequent trips around the US and occasionally Mexico and Europe have provided fresh input and helped to develop my way of seeing. In recent years, I've found joy in teaching watercolor workshops. Live demonstrations keep me humble!

POTSDAM - The Massena Central girls basketball team got defensive about reclaiming the Section 10 Class A championship on Monday.
Malone is very well coached and they are a well-disciplined team. This was definitely a defensive battle. Both teams did a great job of taking away the other teams strengths, said coach Roy Thomas after the Lady Raiders successfully defended their sectional title with a 41-36 decision over the Lady Huskies at SUNY Potsdams Jerry Welsh Gymnasium.
Both teams made a lot of mistakes on offense and some of that had to do with the way they were playing defense. We struggled offensively but we managed to score five more points than they did and thats all that matters, Thomas added.
With the win, the Lady Raiders improved to 12-7 on the season. Along with earning a berth to the New York State Class A tournament, they advanced to the Section 10 Overall tournament semi-finals slated for next Tuesday night at Jerry Welsh Gym. Their opponent and game-time will be determined following the other three sectional finals slated for this Friday night at SUNY Potsdam.
The Lady Huskies finished their season at 11-8 but coach Shelly Skelly sees a brighter future for a team that featured only one senior.
We had a very young team this year and when you have a young team likes there, theyre going to make mistakes. The key is learning from those mistakes and we did that a lot this year, said Skelly.
We talk a lot about climbing the ladder and trying to get better. Hopefully, the girls will keep working on basketball this summer and well come back stronger next season, she added.
On a night when points were hard to come by for both squads, Alisha Jacobs led all scorers with 15 points and also emerged as the leading rebound with a game-high 11 boards while notching four steals and blocking two shots. Marissa Manley tossed through another 10 points and pulled down eight rebounds. Sidney Thompson chipped in eight points followed by Erin Francis with five and Dominque Valancius with three. Valancius also logged four steals while Steffanie Premo fashioned a game-high five assists. All six players are seniors.
We have seven seniors on the team and I think that experience was a factor, said coach Thomas. We beat Malone in the championship game last year and we had most of our players back. We also won our two regular season games this year. That gave us even more confidence but at the same time we didnt want to be overconfident because we knew Malone was a capable team.
Janelle Heden anchored the Malone scoresheet with 12 points on four three-pointers. She also had six rebounds, three assists and two steals while Morgan Fountain, who opened the game with a three-pointer from the top of the key, finished with 11 points, eight boards and four steals. Rachel Lamica made lead contributions from the paint where she netted eight points and gabbed a team-high 10 rebounds. Meghan OConnor and Emily Marshall added two points each while Kirstin Barrett closed out the Lady Huskies scoresheet with a free throw.
Jacobs countered Fountains three with the first of her three triples to tie the score. The Lady Raiders went on to build a 9-7 lead through the first 3:34 of the game but then both offenses got stalled in neutral and thats where the score stood at the end of the first quarter.
The Lady Huskies ended their scoring drought with a free throw two minutes into the second quarter to pull to within one then went ahead 14-9 over the next two and a-half minutes after Heden buried back-to-back threes.
After a Massena timeout, Valancius got the first points of the quarter when she banked through a three-pointer with just over three minutes left. Thompson then tied the game at 14-14 before Manley drained a pair of free throws to put Massena ahead 16-14. Jacobs capped the 10-0 run with a three-pointer with 1:06 left in the half and the Lady Raiders went on take a 21-16 lead into halftime.
Both teams struggled to find the mark to start the third quarter and neither scored until Thompson connected for a mid-range baseline jumper to give the Lady Raiders their biggest lead of the game at 23-16 with 5:36 left. Heden countered with a three-pointer but a quick eight-point run by Massena that included back-to-back threes by Jacobs and Francis pushed the lead to 31-19 before a late inside basket by Lamica cut the Malone deficit to 31-21 to start the fourth quarter.
When we were down by 12 points, we could have just laid down and quit but we didnt. We called timeout. We still had another nine minutes left and we told the girls to leave it all out on the court and thats just what they did, said Skelly.
The Lady Huskies opened the final frame with a 9-2 run that cut the Massena lead to 33-30 with 4:37 remaining. The teams then exchanged baskets through the next two minutes and a field goal by Fountain made it 39-36 with 38 seconds left. After seeing teammates miss two straight free throws, Thompson calmly stepped up and swished through a pair of foul shots with 20 seconds left to seal the win.
Its tough to beat a team three times in the same year, said Manley after playing a lead role in the Lady Raider title defense. Winning Class A last year and winning the two games this year gave us confidence. Malone made it tough to score but we found a way.

S. ATTLEBORO ŌĆō The old ShawŌĆÖs store at Bristol Place off Route 1A in South Attleboro near the Pawtucket line is giving way to a new much larger Market Basket store at the same location.
The old building has been torn down and this week steel girders were beginning to frame the planned 80,000-square-foot Market Basket store.
Stephanie Davies, senior land use planner in AttleboroŌĆÖs Planning Department, said Friday the old ShawŌĆÖs, which had been closed by the supermarket chain in 2009, was demolished to make room for the new Market Basket development.
The work will include construction of the new supermarket and also a redesign of the park area and access routes to that portion of the commercial plaza.
Although South Attleboro has been weathering the regionŌĆÖs economic downturn along with the rest of Massachusetts, Davies said the new development showed the promise of new commercial growth in the community. ŌĆ£I would say it is a good sign for Attleboro,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£I think things are picking up.ŌĆØ
Market Basket, a 71-store New England supermarket chain based in Tewksbury, Mass., has been expanding in Massachusetts and New Hampshire and will soon open a large store in Biddeford, Maine, its first in that state, according to David McLean, Market BasketŌĆÖs director of operations. The Biddeford store is opening at the site of a former LoweŌĆÖs store.
McLean said the chain will be opening a new store in Hudson, Mass., on June 1 that will be similar to the store going up in South Attleboro.
ŌĆ£We have been very fortunate to have the support of our customers, who have accepted of our brand and identified Market Basket as what they are looking for, and also because we have exceptional employees who have helped us grow our business,ŌĆØ McLean said.
While some of its newest stores are in locations like Attleboro, the company is also rebuilding and expanding its older locations and providing their customers with updated shopping opportunities such as a larger selection of grocery goods, 60,000 different items in the larger stores, and new offerings of food items from around the world, according to McLean. The stores also offer an expanded variety of ready-to-eat meals prepared the storeŌĆÖs MarketŌĆÖs Kitchen location, including take-home meals or sit down meals to be enjoyed a private seating area with big screen televisions and wifi connections. The new Market Baskets also host a MarketŌĆÖs Caf├® selling coffee, lattes, juice, and pastries in-house, and for those who desire fresh made sushi-- the chainŌĆÖs Niji Sushi counters where customers can watch their sushi meals made by trained Sushi chefs. The stores also offer the traditional supermarket offerings such as a bakery, a meat department with the highest grade of Angus beef, a salad bar, deli and seafood, and produce departments.
McLean predicted the new Market Basket at the Attleboro/Pawtucket line will be popular with customers because of its variety of food offerings and food pricing values.
ŌĆ£We are thrilled to have to the opportunity to bring ŌĆśmore for your dollarŌĆÖ shopping to closer to the Rhode Island border,ŌĆØ he said. When completed, the store is expected to employ 300 to 400 employees, with some of number being employees coming from other Market Baskets in the area and the rest newly hired.
With work now under way on the building, McLean said the storeŌĆÖs opening should occur before the end of the year. ŌĆ£Our intent is that it is going to be this year,ŌĆØ he said. The company, which operates a store in Bellingham off Route 140 and Route 495, has the experience of opening several new stores in the past year, including its first on Cape Cod near the Sagamore Bridge that McLean said was ŌĆ£very well received,ŌĆØ and also additional new stores this year including a large store in Nashua, N.H., that will replace another of the chainŌĆÖs existing outlets. The new store in Biddeford, Maine, will be one of the largest stores in the chain with over 100,000-square-feet of space, he said.
Market Basket started out as a small family market opened by two Greek immigrants, Anthanasios ŌĆ£ArthurŌĆØ and Efronsini Demoulas in Lowell, Mass., in 1916, according to the companyŌĆÖs history. The Demoulas later sold their store to two of their children, Telemachus and George Demoulas, in the 1950s, who in turn expanded it into a chain of 15 larger DeMoulas stores within 15 years. The supermarket chain now operates exclusively under the Market Basket name while members of the Demoulas family remain involved in the company.

MASSENA Members of the local Disabled American Veterans organization want to provide shelter for two vans that transport area veterans to the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Syracuse, and theyre looking for financial support from other veterans groups and community members.
Were wanting other veterans organizations and anybody who wants to donate to help us out a little bit, DAV Chapter 171 Commander Edward T. Gebeault said.
He said the DAV hopes to build a garage on land owned by Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1143 on West Hatfield Street. A storage building that sits near the parking lot would be removed and replaced by the garage, which would hold the DAVs two transport vans as well as equipment thats now in the storage building.
Were building it and donating it to the VFW since its on their property, Mr. Gebeault said.
He said the vans once were parked in the parking lot in front of the Massena Fire Station. Now, they sit in the municipal parking lot across the street, near the police station, where the keys are available to drivers 24 hours a day.
Theyve been backed into twice, said John Alexander, DAVs driver coordinator.
The new garage will be a help for drivers who have to leave at 4:30 a.m. to pick up veterans heading to Syracuse in time for an 8 a.m. appointment especially in the winter, when theres more than just driving involved.
They leave at 4:30. A lot of times theyre out there chipping the ice off, Mr. Gebeault said.
The new garage would be 28 feet wide by 25 feet deep with two 9-by-10-foot doors.
The VFW can share it with us and put their lawn tractors inside, Mr. Gebeault said.
The DAV is waiting for four bids on the project, he said, and is hoping it can come in at less than $30,000.
With some donations well be able to swing it, he said.
Donations can be made out to the DAV, attention: Treasurer Robert Brothers, and can be dropped off at the VFW.
Were definitely looking for any kind of donation, Mr. Baker said.
The vans typically transport veterans to Syracuse on Tuesday and Thursday, but Mr. Baker said arrangements also can be made for appointments on other days. They pick up not only in Massena, but in surrounding communities including Potsdam, Norwood, Norfolk, DeKalb and Gouverneur.
In addition to raising money for the new garage, Mr. Gebeault said, the DAV will be holding its annual Forget-Me-Not fundraiser Aug. 8 to 10.

Genesis 6:3 refers to when God set humans' lifespans to (approximately) 120 years. However, the NLT (the translation I prefer) has a slightly different translation for the 120-years part.
Genesis 6:3 (NIV)
3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years."
3 Then the Lord said, "My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120
Genesis 6:3 (NLT)
3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years."
In particular, the NLT says "no more than" whereas the other translations don't. Thus, my question is: does the original Hebrew support this interpretation, allow it, or neither?

Wild Child
Sixteen-year-old Poppy is a self-obsessed, incorrigible brat who lives a pampered life in her L.A. world. Although she's handed credit cards with unlimited balances and surrounded by countless hangers on, Poppy can't escape the mounting frustration she feels with her family situation. And she makes sure that everyone knows it. After an over-the-top prank pushes her father one step too far, Poppy is shipped off to an English boarding school. Finding herself in a foreign world of early curfews, stern matrons and mandatory lacrosse, the American princess has finally met her match: a school of British girls who won't tolerate her spoiled ways. Under the watchful eye of the school's headmistress and surrounded by a new circle of friends, Poppy begrudgingly realizes her bad-girl behavior will only get her so far. But just because she must grow into a fine young lady doesn't mean this "wild child" won't be spending every waking hour shaking up a very proper system.

Covered in a little rust, and black paint, l plan to strip the pumpkin, to raw aluminum. My question to the professionals here is, chemical stripper, or sandpaper and elbow grease? Taking into account that aluminum is porous, I don't wanna drive any chemicals into the metal, but would sanding drive paint into the pours as well? Thanks in advance........ PSYCO

The Childrens Miracle Network of Northern New York at Samaritan Medical Center is expected to fill center court of Salmon Run Mall with hundreds of young children later this month when the annual CMN Baby Photo Contest is presented by Creative Imaging Fine Photography.
Sept. 20 through 22, Creative Imaging owners James H. and Kathy S. Naklick will have a mock studio set up there to take photographs of up to 300 children. Parents or guardians of children 5 and younger in the contest then will go out and raise both funds for and awareness of Childrens Miracle Network.
Its competitive, so people look for sponsorship, said Morgan OBrien Bocciolatt, CMN development manager. Its hard to say no to kids.
Prizes will be awarded to the three children who garner the most votes. The grand prize is $2,000, and first and second place awards are $1,000 and $500, respectively. Voting will take place online Oct. 9 to 18, and a display will be set up in the mall Oct. 14 to 18. Votes will be $1 each, or six for $5.
Theyll be able to go online and see if theyre in the top 10, Miss Bocciolatt said. Maybe theyre number 10 and want to be number one.
She said she hopes parents and guardians use social media to promote their childs photo, and to request votes be cast in honor of their child.
To enter a child in the contest, there will be a $15 fee, or $10 per child if more than one sibling is being entered. Only one child may be in the photograph, unless they are twins, triplets or other multiples.
A photo suitable for framing is included in the entrance fee, and other portrait packages will be available for purchase.
An awards ceremony will be held Oct. 19 in the mall. People can pick up their photographs then; winners must be present to collect a prize.
Miss Bocciolatt said there is no dress code for the event; parents and guardians may choose their childrens attire.
An imagination station with various activities will be set up for children to keep them occupied while they wait for their photographs to be taken.
As an incentive to fill up spots, and get entrants in early, goodie bags will be offered for the first 200 children. Childrens items from the events various sponsors will be given out in those bags. Sponsors include the Watertown Daily Times, WWNY-TV7 and Fox 28, Salmon Run Mall and others.
All money raised from the event will stay in the north country. For more information, visit the event website, http://wdt.me/RzZWcd.
