LOUDON, NH-Joe Gibbs got his 100th career NASCAR victory as an owner Sunday when Denny Hamlin took the flag at Loudon, New Hampshire's Sylvania 300. Hamlin, in a Toyota, recorded his fifth win of year in the second installment of the Chase for the Cup.
That finish improved his position to third in the Chase , a mere seven points behind leader Jimmy Johnson.
Hamlin has run well at Loudon finishing in the top five in the last seven starts here.
He took over the lead on lap number 94, holding the lead for a total of 193 laps overall.
NEWPORT–St. Johnsbury netted two second half goals in what turned out to be a very physical contest as the Hilltoppers blanked the Falcons 2-0.
"It was a 1-0 game and adrenaline was very high. We are still in the game and then on a goofy play they countered and it kind of took the wind out of our sails," said coach James McKenny.
Said St. J coach Stephen Levesque, "We had to match their intensity. They (NCU) came out from the get-go and I wanted our kids to win their individual battles and we did a much better job of that in the second half."
NEWPORT–UCA's boy's soccer team had its' largest outpouring of offense of the season, scoring six goals to defeat Concord 6-0 on Saturday.
"We had a great game," said coach Alyssa DeLaBruere about the win. "We worked all week on passing and communication and it paid off."
It was a new look Crusaders who took to the field at Gardner Park.
Jon DeLaBruere took his brother's place in goal while Chris moved up to the mid-field, and for a guy who hasn't played goal since he was eight years-old, Jon put up a good performance.
NEWPORT–The North Country field hockey Falcons played a very defensive game against Stowe on Saturday, but came up on the losing end of the 1-0 contest.
"The past three games have been defensive ones for us," said coach Chantelle Bouchard. "Stowe always has a good record, so we knew we had to stay with that style of play today."
In the first half, Stowe (5-3), although not on the top of their game as of late due to illness, showed why they usually field a strong club, controlling play and spending roughly eighty-five percent of the time in the North Country end.
Lake Region 4, Oxbow 1
BRADFORD - Billy Cashin provided the eventual go-ahead score on a unassisted tally 10 minutes into the second half as the Lake Region boys soccer team knocked off Oxbow 4-1 in a wet Saturday contest to put a damper on the host team's homecoming weekend.
Shaquille Urie gave the Rangers a 1-0 halftime lead with an early score on a pass from Anthony Wright.
ORLEANS–Shaquille Urie scored arguably the prettiest goal of the season for Lake Region, heading the ball past Hazen's Murphy Simmons seven minutes into the second half to secure the Rangers' 2-1 win over the Wildcats on Wednesday afternoon.
Lake Region got off to the hot start, and if it wasn't for Simmons heroics in goal, the score would have been much more lopsided.
His first big save came against eventual goal scorer Urie.
Jeremy Dean had the ball deep in Hazen territory when he lofted a cross into the middle of the box.
ST. ALBANS–Ruffie Palin's header in the 31st minute provided the only scoring Wednesday night, as North Country earned its' first victory of the season with a 1-0 decision over the Bobwhites.
BFA (1-4-1) gave the Homecoming crowd plenty to cheer for in the opening minutes with a series of great chances, and had a handful of shots at a wide-open net late. Falcon goalkeeper Logan Fortier made a few great stops, but most of St. Albans' chances flew wide of one post or the other.
NEWPORT–Katie Stames scored three goals to lead Peoples Academy to a 6-2 win over North Country in girls soccer action on Tuesday afternoon.
"They can score and they are all skilled That was a skill mismatch that we had to deal with and we got out smarted," said Falcon coach Peter Alexander.
North Country got off to a good start against the Wolves, as Brooke Breault fed Devinnie Davis to get the scoring started eleven minutes into the contest.
FAIRFAX–Lake Region ran up against the toughest team they are likely to face this season, BFA Fairfax, and while they played well, they came up just a little short on Tuesday afternoon.
After forty minutes the game remained scoreless, but seven minutes into the second BFA's Anissa Hartman was left alone in front of the net and buried the ball, giving Fairfax the 1-0 lead.
With 15:00 left in the half, BFA made it 2-0 as Kailtlyn Barnack found the back of the cage.
Karamae Hayman-Jones had the lone Lake Region goal on a feed from Tyrah Urie with 9:55 left to play.
NEWPORT–The UCA Crusaders ran up against a speedy Trinity Baptist Kings team on Monday afternoon, losing the contest 3-0.
"We've got some adjusting to do before we see them next week," UCA coach Alyssa DeLaBruere after the game. "Speed is not our strength. We've got size but not speed, so we have got to figure out a way to shut down three or four of their players that just can go."
The Kings used their quick feet to get on the board early as Christopher Zamarippa opened the scoring off of a corner kick just five minutes into the contest.

As brutal revenge attacks against loyalist towns and bickering between various armed factions pick up steam in Libya, the al Qaeda flag was photographed flying above the courthouse in the rebellion's home town of Benghazi. The White House, which unconstitutionally committed American forces in the conflict, said it was not surprised by recent developments.
"There is no God but Allah," read the black flag with a full moon fluttering atop the key government building, which served as the rebel regime's headquarters throughout much of the eight-month civil war. The first media outlet to publicize the banner also noted that Islamists could be seen throughout the city flying the al Qaeda flag and shouting Muslim slogans.
When a photographer with Vice.com approached the courthouse to take pictures of the flag, a guard came out and warned him to stop. "Whomever speaks ill of this flag, we will cut off his tongue," the camouflaged security officer said. "I recommend that you don't publish these. You will bring trouble to yourself."
The Libyan revolutionary also insisted the flag on the courthouse was dark black, while al Qaeda's flag was charcoal black. Locals urged the photographer to leave too, saying Islamist fighters could be watching him.

Marriage Laws
New York Marriage Greene County
Finding a New York wedding officiant specializing in all types of weddings is easy. Submit single form to New York wedding officiants. You choose the best NY Wedding Officiant.
Here's what you need to know and what documents to bring with you before you apply for a Greene County marriage license. We recommend getting this legal aspect of your wedding out of the way about a month before your ceremony date.
It is important that you verify all information with the Catskill Town Clerk before making any wedding or travel plans.
A couple who intends to be married in New York State must apply in person for a marriage license to any town or city clerk in the state. The application for a license must be signed by both parties in the presence of the town or city clerk. A representative cannot apply for the license on behalf of either party. This applies even if the representative has been given the Power of Attorney. Notarized marriage license affidavits signed by either party cannot be substituted for their personal appearance.
Yes. Although the marriage license is issued immediately, the marriage ceremony may not take place within 24 hours from the exact time that the license was issued. When both applicants are 16 years of age or older, the 24-hour waiting period may be waived by an order of a justice of the Supreme Court or a judge of the County Court of the county in which either the bride or groom resides. If either person is under 16 years of age, the order must be from the Family Court judge of the county in which the person under 16 years of age resides.
A marriage license is valid for 60 days, beginning the day after it is issued.
The fee for a marriage license is $40.00 dollars. CASH ONLY. This fee includes the issuance of a Certificate of Marriage Registration. This certificate is automatically sent by the issuing clerk to the applicants within 15 days after the completed license is returned by the officiant (person who performs the marriage ceremony). It serves as notice that a record of the marriage is on file. Couples who do not receive a Certificate of Marriage Registration within four weeks of the wedding should contact the town or city clerk who issued the license.
No premarital examination or blood test is required to obtain a marriage license in New York State.
A person is required to establish proof of age and identity by submitting to the issuing clerk one of the following age related documents:
And one of the following identity related documents:
A marriage may not take place in New York State between an ancestor and descendant, a brother and sister (full or half blood), an uncle and niece or an aunt and nephew, regardless of whether or not these persons are legitimate or illegitimate offspring.
Information regarding previous marriages must be furnished in the application for a marriage license. This includes whether the former spouse or spouses are living, and whether the applicants are divorced and, if so, when, where and against whom the divorce or divorces were granted. A certified copy of the Decree of Divorce or a Certificate of Dissolution of Marriage may be required by the clerk issuing the marriage license.
Every person has the right to adopt any name by which he or she wishes to be known simply by using that name consistently and without intent to defraud. A person's last name (surname) does not automatically change upon marriage, and neither party to the marriage is required to change his or her last name. The bride and groom need not take the same last name.
One or both parties to a marriage may elect to change the surname by which he or she wishes to be known after the marriage by entering the new name in the appropriate space provided on the marriage license. The new name must consist of one of the following options:
The use of this option will provide a record of your change of name. The marriage certificate, containing the new name, if any, is proof that the use of the new name, or the retention of the former name, is lawful. The local Social Security Administration office should be contacted so that its records and your social security identification card reflect the name change. There is no charge for this service.
Whether you decide to use or not use this option at the time of your marriage license application, you still have the right to adopt a different name through usage at some future date. However, your marriage license cannot be changed to record a surname you decide to use after your marriage.
If you plan to use your married name at work, be sure to have your name changed in Social Security records. This way, you will get credit for all your earnings. It's easy and it's absolutely free. Contact any Social Security office. Look in the telephone book for the address and phone number. You will need documentary evidence showing both your old name and your new name.
A New York State marriage license may be used within New York State only. Please note that if you go out of New York State to be married, your New York State marriage license will not be filed in New York State.
There is no particular form or ceremony required except that the parties must state in the presence of an authorized member of the clergy or public official and at least one other witness that they take each other as husband and wife. There is no minimum age for a witness. However, in selecting a witness, choose at least one person who you feel would be competent to testify in a court proceeding as to what he or she witnessed.
To be valid, a marriage ceremony must be performed by any of the individuals specified in Section 11 of the New York State Domestic Relations Law. These include:
The person performing the ceremony must be registered with the City of
New York in order to perform a ceremony within the New York City limits.
The officiant does not have to be a resident of New York State. Ship
captains are not authorized to perform marriage ceremonies in New York
Please Note: State and county marriage license
requirements often change. The above information is for guidance only and should not be regarded as legal advice. Check with the Catskill Town Clerk for changes and clarifications in the requirements before you leave home to apply for your marriage license.

This will be the first American Staffordshire I have owned. I bought Maia from a breeder in Italy, Piergiorgio Lievore, who has several world champions in her bloodline. * sorry, no kennel links* Maia was born on October 1, 2012 so I will be bringing her home after December 5th, once she has received her first vaccinations.
Since I was young, I grew up with a female Doberman Pinscher then a male English Springer Spaniel so have had dogs in my life since I was born. What drew me to the AmStaff/PitBull breed was their loyalty, kindness, willingness, and obviously proving that this breed is not the killer that the media makes it out to be. Once I return to the States, she will be a part of my family of a wife and 3 boys ages 8-13.

An immediately striking site for a designer. The use of social networking (and other) icons is excellent and allows you to connect with the designer in many different ways. I love that you can filter the gallery, it's a great touch!Posted in Web Design → Design
A absolutely stunning concept for a sports band that integrates with the Nike+ system. I love the colour and variety in the other potential designs, although the orange and black one does it for me! The incorporation of the USB memory is an ingenious idea that purely enhances the user experience.Posted in Interface → Other
An absolutely fascinating approach to user interface design. This is a contact page like no other... The hand-drawn style is used effectively, and while I not totally on board with the changing of the mouse and attempts to get you to view the site fullscreen, it's certainly a different approach to a contact page!Posted in Interface → Web App
Another iPhone App that\'s attempting to recreate a classic lo-fi camera, and another beautiful interface! I love the detail put into the camera lens itself, you almost feel like you could see your reflection. More effort could have been put into the feel of the buttons, but overall it\'s still a satisfying App to use.Posted in Interface → iPhone App
An effortless App for word processing and many other things besides! It utilises space really effectively thereby giving the maximum space to your document. I really like the feel and design of the menus that appear when you need to perform certain actions!Posted in Interface → iPad App
A slick portfolio site that features a massive central slideshow! The use of a scrolling gallery of recent work is excellent and perfectly showcases the company\'s diversity. I like the use of green to add interest to an otherwise monochrome layout!Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
A good and intriguing site for a web design agency. I particularly like the colourful doodles and friendly typeface! The spacing of everything does bother me slightly but it\\\'s made up for by the textured background and strokes of colour.Posted in →
Another beautifully designed App from Sophia Teutschler! Groceries has a simple pinboard and note paper aesthetic which is very enjoyable to use. Overall the interface is intuitive and features excellent typefaces and icon design.Posted in Interface → iPhone App
The use of natural colours here perfectly suits the idea of vitality! The word \'Formulas\' could perhaps be a little darker as on the white background it doesn\'t really make an impact, but otherwise a good logo. It is, however, a nice touch that this logo can remain unchanged and work well on a black background.Posted in Branding → Logo
A simple but classy interface for a notes App. THe small custom icons are great and perfectly complement the classic note feel of the App. I find the purple tint a fascinating design twist on an otherwise functional interface.Posted in Interface → Mac App
I love the artistic focal point of this site. The minimalism of the links and other aspects allow your attention to be drawn to the action! The logo is simple but works brilliantly!Posted in Web Design → Design
A basic but sharp logo design that uses the company letter as the focal point. The use of lime green works to add interest to an otherwise relatively straightforward design. The font is interesting, and benefits from the reflection effect, but is still very readable.Posted in Branding → Logo
A nice wide website that is bold enough to stretch out to 1,200 pixels. The gradient in the header is very attractive, the photo slideshow is great and the scrapbook edge treatment finishes off the look nicely.Posted in Web Design → Community
The Swankolab App attempts to recreate the darkroom experience right on your iPhone and succeeds! Its interface is enticingly beautiful and like no other image editing App you\'ve ever seen. I especially like the interesting looking chemical bottles and the way your prints are hung up to dry.Posted in Interface → iPhone App
This site was included mostly for its interesting interactivity. As you select an item in the navigation, it opens up a new window that is then moveable and can be arranged with the other open windows. Basically, it mimics the behavior of desktop windows. A novel idea that is fun to play with.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
This site is truly unlike any others that I have seen. The design is wacky and beautiful and the functionality is quite interesting. I love the treatment of the old style typography and the splashes of color in all the right places.Posted in Web Design → Design
The watercolor illustration of clouds on this site is quite beautiful and interestingly combined with origami birds for an altogether unique look. I like the single-page nature of the site and how the content for other pages scrolls in via jQuery instead of additional page loads.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
The giant photographic header is a beautiful element that immediately grabs your attention. Other nice touches include the pop of orange and the blurry transparency on page tabs.Posted in Web Design → Misc
This site uses a simple but effective design with a jQuery slider header and another for the content area. The use of sliders allowed the designer to cram a ton of content on a single page in a nicely designed manner.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
This incredibly unique site features some awesome illustration work and super bright colors. Note the generous use of whitespace and the use of another color in the middle of the site to break up the content.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio

On Shaky Ground: Earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest (2011)
About the Program
2010's devastating earthquakes in Haiti and Chile are vivid reminders the Pacific Northwest is earthquake country too. In this special report, KCTS 9 shows the types of powerful earthquakes that pose the greatest risk to our region, how local leaders are preparing for the next big quake, and what you should be doing to protect your home and your family.
Tips: Preparing for an Earthquake
"Be Prepared."
That's the Boy Scout motto, and when it comes to earthquakes, we should all take a lesson from them.
Depending on the size and location of an earthquake, emergency responders may need anywhere from hours to days to reach everyone affected. Utilities like electricity, phone lines, gas, and water may be cut off for even longer. Having a home disaster kit could be invaluable. Ready-made kits are available for purchase from organizations like the Red Cross, or you can put one together at home.
So what do you need? Here are the basics:
- Water: One gallon, per-person, per-day. Store it in plastic containers and make sure to replace the water every six months.
- Food: At least a three-day supply of non-perishable items. Pack some emergency food bars or ready-to-eat canned foods and juices (and don't forget a can-opener). Add a little chocolate, to help keep your spirits up.
- A flashlight and battery-operated radio, complete with extra batteries. You'll want to stay in the loop and out of the dark until power comes back on.
- A well-stocked first aid kit for bumps and bruises.
- A whistle to blow for help, just in case.
- A change of clothes and shoes for each person, plus personal hygiene items and essential medications.
- An emergency blanket.
- Hand sanitizer and moist towelettes, because we don't need to be worrying about germs too.
Just having these items on hand can help you and your family get by after an earthquake, and dramatically cut the worry involved. A few other items to consider are:
- Rain gear—an excellent idea for our Northwest weather.
- Plastic sheeting and duct tape.
- Cash or traveler's checks and change for pay-phones.
- Local maps to find shelters or evacuation routes.
- Utility knife, pliers, and a wrench.
- Lighter or matches in a waterproof container.
- Copies of important documents like insurance cards, social security cards, and immunization records in a waterproof container.
- Deck or cards, books or some other type of entertainment to keep you occupied.
Along with your home disaster kit, having a plan the whole family knows for when an earthquake or any other kind of crisis comes, is an excellent way to keep everyone ready in case of an emergency.
Catherine McGourty, KCTS 9

this blog is very informative I sure will put emergency preparedness kit at home.
One must be prepared what the calamities as such situations happen very rare but without warning. The data shared here must be well considered for a safe future.
Thanks for proving detailed safety precautions while earthquake as an earthquake can be a terrifying event. By taking proper safety precautions, you can help limit that terror through careful planning and organization. Hold occasional earthquake drills so your family knows exactly what they should do in the event a quake strikes. This will increase the odds that everyone survives unharmed. Thanks again it's quite useful.
Great commentary and very useful information. Would you have a few minutes to visit our web site www.quaketrip.com this flows into your article and provides a "next step" in preparedness. The quaketrip device shuts off power to electrical panels and gas lines in a building , preventing the dangerous fires that follow earthquakes.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
The competition had only one rule: all cars must be powered by genuine Victor engines.
Victor in this case being the time-honored, death-dealing mousetrap which for many decades has been reliably transforming potential energy into kinetic to rid the world of rodents.
Since all Victors are created equal, they were standard around which budding engineers had to build their customed designed cars in the USU Eastern mousetrap car competition last week.
According to associate professor of engineering Kyle Larsen, the contest drew 30 to 40 entries from high schools in Carbon, Grand and San Juan counties to the Price campus, along with several USU students.
"The main objective is to get the kids to learn about such things as torque, the physics and science involved in it," Larsen explained. They should come to understand that big wheels are necessary for long distance, smaller wheels for speed.
The second goal is to get the high school students involved in engineering so they'll consider it as a career and come to USU Eastern for their education.
The basic design of a mousetrap car is to have the snapper unwind a string that is wound around the wheel axle. All manner of levers, wheel types and chassis design come in to play in doing this.
Winners of the distance competition were Suni Gigliotti at 59.7 feet and Ahsley Martinez and Connor Gillepsie with 52.4 feet.
Kaira Simpson was first in speed, covering 10 feet in 1.63 seconds, with Jacob Scoville clocked in 1.98 seconds. (Check my math: Kaira's car topped out at about 12.23 feet/second)
Other engineering contests at the college have included balsa wood bridge construction, robotics, rocketry and remote control aircraft construction.

Random randomness and then some tunes
Friday, June 12, 2009
I found out recently that my Random 10 Friday was being published in a list of all the various Meme's that are available to participate in. I'll be honest... I was thrilled! I have been blogging for 4+ years and this has been the one most consistent thing that I have blogged. Every single week. For 4+ years. Why? Because I live my life in a musical. Music has been an integral part of my life, and I punctuate those moments with music. Every kind of music there is. I am not partial to just one genre or artist. I like it all. Sometimes, even country.
What is my Random 10 Friday? For me, it's a chance to find new tunes to listen to. Whenever someone plays, and links, I immediately check out their list. If there are artists on there that I have never heard of, I go check them out on Rhapsody (my music playing/downloading choice). I have found lots of fun, new artists this way!
Let me give you the rules. In list form.
1. Put your music playing device on shuffle
2. Write down the first 10 songs that come up.
3. No cheating and taking off Kenny Rogers or Liza Minnelli because you're embarrassed.
4. Only hit skip if the same song comes up twice in the same post.
5. Write down your random thoughts-- in full sentences or not. We don't care.
6. Sign up via Mr. Linky (below my list of tunes).
7. Sit back and check out all the new tunes you will find.
Happy Birthday to me! Wanna know how I celebrate my birthday over here in Crazyland? By having a giveaway! Yup. That's right. I give stuff away on my birthday! Just another service I provide for you here in Crazyland. Thank you and your welcome!
Have you entered my Great Motherboard I-pod Giveaway yet? No? Well, you should. I mean, I'm giving away an I-POD people! An I-POD! Don't you think that deserves more than 100 comments? I do. An I-POD is worthy of at least 200!
Besides, everyone is doing it. Just this once won't hurt. And, who knows. Maybe we will become friends. Besides, today is my birthday, dammit. So enter already!
Remember the post about the plants, dogs and chickens? Yeah. One of the chickens died. DIED. That's a first. Usually I just lose the animals. Never, in any of my tending escapades, has an animal died.
I have reached an all time low.
Remember how I told y'all that I had joined a Biggest Loser competition? (I have to admit that was my most favorite title I have come up with yet!) I was pretty stoked that first week, when I got myself up on the scale and had lost 3.4 lbs. That was simply amazing! The next week I was down another 1.3 lbs. Sweet! The next week I gained 1.6 lbs... but I blamed it on my "womanly times", or has Jefe likes to call it, my comma.
But, then I kept gaining. This week when I weighed myself, I almost threw the scale out the window. I've gained back everything I lost and then some! What the crap? What's up with that? Totally sucks, and it makes me hate skinny people. OK. Not really. Only a little.
Have your kids been driving you insane because "there's nothing to do? If you have to hear "Moooommmm! I'm so bored..." one more time you just might pull a Linda Blair? Yeah. Me too. My usual retort of "only boring people get bored" just isn't cutting it any more.
Summer break. What's a Mom to do?
I have found myself feeling irritated with people because they tell me I just need to plan some field trips. Yeah. That's easier said than done. Especially when you are catering to so many different age groups... I have a 14 year old, a 10 year old, a 6 year old and a 1 year old. It sometimes feels like I have to plan 3 separate events, just to meet everyone's needs.
Then I found out about this event.
I'll be honest, until I got an email from them asking me to write about it, I had never even heard of it. I must have been living under a rock. Hiding from my whining kids. But, after reading about it, and writing a piece on it for the MMB, I am thinking that I am heading there quicker than water erases chalk!
The event has opportunities for kids of all ages to get in on the action by creating their own chalk art creation in the Kids Korner. There are live performances, and opportunities to visit the KSL vendors. Shopping, and entertained kids. What more does a mom need?
A goody bag. That's what she needs. If you get there early, there are goody bags stuffed 'chalk' full of stuff that every mother needs.
It sounds like a complete blast, and it benefits a great cause. Besides, its free. What's not to like about that? Maybe we could all meet up and pose for "I have bored kids and all I got was this lousy headache" photos.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
That's all the randomness I could muster on this fine birthday morning. Have I mentioned my giveaway? Oh. I have? Well, enter then and I'll quit shamelessly self promoting.
Remember how I was groaning that Jefe got his Harley, but I had yet to see my laptop? Guess what I opened this fine birthday morn? Yup. A sweet new lap top!
Birthdays rock!
Have a great weekend! Don't forget to come and sign the Mr. Linky... if for no other reason, do it just because its my birthday!

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
On or off piste, the Atomic Vantage Girl II ski makes progressing super fun.
On or off piste, the Atomic Vantage Girl II ski makes progressing super fun. Bend-X Technology lets young all-rounders make controlled turns effortlessly: the special flex zone in the binding area allows young girls to bend the ski easily for full contact with the snow at all times, whatever their weight. The Vantage Girl II models are a little wider than the Vantage Girl I, with a little more V-shape and camber that are precisely tailored to the respective length of the ski, so every young skier gets exactly the right ski for them.
A special flex zone in the binding area enables even the lightest kids to bend their skis and get strong contact with the snow. This makes initiating turns easier even with little power from little legs.
As the length of skis goes up, the dimensions and V-shape of the ski also changes - not just in ratio but specifically to match the skiing style of each age group.

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff has joined two actions asking the United States Supreme Court to overturn decisions against public sex offender registries in Alaska and Connecticut.
The Alaska Court of Appeals ruled that the registries are illegal because the information inflicts additional punishment on sex offenders.
The Connecticut Court of Appeals ruling requires a hearing to determine whether a sex offender is "particularly likely to be currently dangerous" before he or she is added to a public registry.
Before the rulings, the two states had similar programs to the one currently in place in Utah.
The registry was available to the public on the Internet and provided the convicted sex offender's name, crime, current address, physical description and photograph.
"The pubic has a right to know and parents absolutely need to know whether a convicted sex offender is living in their neighborhood," stressed Shurtleff.
The friend of the court briefs argue that the registration does not violate a convicted sex offender's right to due process or restrict the freedom of the individual.
In addition, the friend of the court briefs maintain that the sex offender registry is a public record and the posted information can be accessed in other public records.
The court papers cite numerous studies concluding that a substantial number of convicted sex offenders will recommit crimes and it is nearly impossible to determine which are still dangerous.
One report determined that a convicted sex offender has an average of two "official victims," but admitted to an "average 184 victims per inmate."
Utah and 35 states, territories and districts joined the friend of the court brief in Connecticut. Utah and 42 other jurisdictions signed on for the Alaska brief.
The U.S. Supreme Court previously agreed to hear the arguments in the Alaska and Connecticut cases.

42 U.S. Code § 11601 - Findings and declarations
prev | next
(a) Findings
The Congress makes the following findings:
(2) Persons should not be permitted to obtain custody of children by virtue of their wrongful removal or retention.
(3) International abductions and retentions of children are increasing, and only concerted cooperation pursuant to an international agreement can effectively combat this problem.
(4) The Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, done at The Hague on October 25, 1980, establishes legal rights and procedures for the prompt return of children who have been wrongfully removed or retained, as well as for securing the exercise of visitation rights. Children who are wrongfully removed or retained within the meaning of the Convention are to be promptly returned unless one of the narrow exceptions set forth in the Convention applies. The Convention provides a sound treaty framework to help resolve the problem of international abduction and retention of children and will deter such wrongful removals and retentions.

The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Familyby Dave Pelzer
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Imagine a young boy who has never had a loving home. His only possesions are the old, torn clothes he carries in a paper bag. The only world he knows is one of isolation and fear. Although others had rescued this boy from his abusive alcoholic mother, his real hurt is just begining — he has no place to call home.
This is Dave Pelzer's long-awaited sequel to A Child Called "It". In The Lost Boy, he answers questions and reveals new adventures through the compelling story of his life as an adolescent. Now considered an F-Child (Foster Child), Dave is moved in and out of five different homes. He suffers shame and experiences resentment from those who feel that all foster kids are trouble and unworthy of being loved just because they are not part of a "real" family.
Tears, laughter, devastation and hope create the journey of this little lost boy who searches desperately for just one thing — the love of a family.
"The Lost Boy" is the harrowing but ultimately uplifting true story of a boy's journey through the foster-care system in search of a family to love. This is Dave Pelzer's long-awaited sequel to "A Child Called "It". The Lost Boy" is Pelzer's story--a moving sequel and inspirational read for all.
About the Author
A retired Air Force crewmember, Dave played a major role in Operations Just cause, Desert Shield and Desert Storm. He was selected for the unique task of midair refueling of the then highly secretive SR-71 Blackbird and F0117 Stealth Fighter. While serving in the Air Force, Dave worked in juvenile hall and other programs involving "youth at risk" throughout California. Dave's exceptional accomplishments include personal commendations from former Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush. While maintaining a rigorous, active-duty flight schedule, Dave was the recipient of the 1990 J.C. Penney Golden Rule Award, making him the California Volunteer of the Year. In 1993 Dave was honored as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Americans (TOYA), joining a distinguished group of alumni that includes Chuck Yeager, Christopher Reeve, Anne Bancroft, John F. Kennedy, Orson Welles and Walt Disney. In 1994 Dave was the only American to be selected as one of The Outstanding Young Persons of the World (TOYP), for his efforts including child abuse awareness and prevention, as well as for instilling resilience in others. During the Centennial Olympic games, Dave was a torchbearer, carrying the coveted flame. Dave is currently working on a book based on overcoming obstacles and achieving one's innermost best, as well as on the third part of his trilogy, entitled, A Man Named Dave. When not on the road or with his son, Stephen, Dave lives a quiet life at the Russian River in Guerneville, California, with his box turtle named Chuck.

While there has been a recent Apple iPhone announcement about the upcoming iPhone OS 4 that is going to include multitasking there is still something for those Verizon faithful to get excited about. It appears as if Verizon is set to launch some brand new devices that are sure to get many mobile phone fans excited. Some websites are reporting screen shots of the BlackBerry Bold 9650 and LG Fathom finally making their way into Verizon's internal systems.
While the BlackBerry Bold 9650 release has been widely publicized the Fathom VS750 has not. This new global Windows Phone with a QWERTY slider, 3.2 inch WVGA display and 3.2 megapixel camera is sure to be a big hit among Verizon Wireless' faithful. If you add in the fact that Verizon released a teaser stating six new devices are hitting the market very soon then this all sounds like really exciting news. With these two devices being seen in Verizon's internal system we can probably assume that the wait for the other six devices will be short.
The announcement by Verizon Wireless that six more devices are set to hit the market came as a great surprise to many mobile device consumers. It has been a while since Verizon has released several new phones so this announcement was probably a little bit overdue. While there is considerable buzz about what these new phones will look like and what sorts of features they will include one thing is for sure and that is consumers will be able to get their hands on a BlackBerry Bold 9650 or LG Fathom in the very near future. I personally can not wait to get a look at these two new devices and see what other goodies Verizon has in store.

STAR LAKE The Clifton-Fine Central School community is divided over proposed administrative changes for the district.
Advocates of the schools present administrative team along with supporters of the school board may turn out in force at the boards 6 p.m. meeting Monday which is to include an update on the superintendent search.
I think there will be a pretty nice crowd there, said Jaime D. Simmons. I know theres a lot of people that are unhappy.
Ms. Simmons, who has three children at the school, started an online petition at change.org addressed to board President Michelle L. Durham and member Richard W. Hitchman claiming that it was in the best interest of students to keep interim Superintendent Susan O. Shene, Principal Brian S. Buchanan and transportation coordinator Darren S. Bullard in place. As of Friday, the petition had 86 supporters.
Mrs. Durham was out of the country and unavailable for comment.
A second online petition started by Angie Hendricks, Newton Falls, supports Mrs. Durham and Mr. Hitchman and asks them to remain on the board fighting for the children. It had 55 supporters as of Friday afternoon.
This is important not just to me but to people in our community, Becky McCormick, Star Lake, wrote.
The school board and Mrs. Shene, who is on a leave of absence as principal, have not come to terms on a contract for her to remain superintendent.
The contract impasse has not been made public but Mrs. Shene has said it does not involve money. Mr. Buchanan also turned down the boards offer to become superintendent and the board is looking at other candidates.
If Mrs. Shene were to return as principal, Mr. Buchanan would be out of a job. The board has also planned to combine Mr. Bullards job with that of the buildings and grounds supervisor so he also has the potential to lose a long-held position.
I know a lot of teachers would like to speak out but theyre afraid for their jobs, Ms. Simmons said.
Her petition includes a number of comments from signers who want the administrators to stay in place.
I am in support for keeping all the CF staff/administration where they are. They all do their jobs well so why mess with it? Kyle Backus, Star Lake, wrote. Certain members of the board need to start focusing on what is good for the school and the community.
Student Syrena Haen, Star Lake, wrote she had never had a better year.
Susan Shene, Darren Bullard and Brian Buchanan have demonstrated multiple times over their time at the school how valuable they really are, she wrote. Mr. Buchanan is clearly qualified for the job because he would not have been hired in the first place if he wasnt. His feedback over the past year has been amazing. He has received widespread support from the community and is loved by the students of all ages. Overall Mr. Buchanan has eased into his position very smoothly, especially since our community isnt very open to newcomers.
The consolidation of transportation and buildings and grounds did not make sense to some.
Combining buildings, grounds and transportation was done once before years ago and the person in charge said it was too much responsibility for one person, Hope M. Dolan, Star Lake, wrote. You want to do this, but do not have a job description or a plan in place. As far as keeping Mrs. Shene and Mr. Buchanan, dont our kids, as well as the staff, deserve some consistency? I ask ALL board members to think long and hard about your decisions. Are they your decisions, or are you just going along because it is easier?

NFLPA Collegiate Bowl: For the Players, the Hard Work Starts Now
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
LOS ANGELES — Today in sunny Southern California, the NFL Players association will host their second annual Collegiate Bowl at the Home Depot Center in Carson, set for 6PM ET and airing live on ESPN2.
While the event is still building it's brand, the league is paying attention. Many NFL teams had scouts represented and watching practices this week while draft luminaries like ESPN's Todd McShay were in attendance as well. To help the players get some critical tips on their technique, the NFLPA brought in a host of former players like Priest Holmes, Kevin Mawae and Isaac Bruce among many others to act as assistant coaches.
"It's been a real blessing," said Ohio State Safety Orhian Johnson. "To get to learn from a player like Darrelle Greene … has been amazing."
Not to mention the talent evaluators overseeing the whole process. Former Colts GM and Woody's Johnson's confidante on the GM search Bill Polian was on hand to oversee the talent evaluation process that the NFLPA is using.
As far as the actual game, former Jets coach Herman Edwards (American team) will be pitted against the man who Dick Vermeil (National team) gave him his first shot in the NFL but whom he knew since he was 17. While both Vermeil and Edwards expressed their enjoyment at being back around football for a few days, both know that this is more about life lessons for the young men who will be getting opportunities in the NFL in just a matter of months.
"The NFL Players Association wants this to be more than just a game, they want it to be a NFL educational experience," Vermeil told reporters during a press conference on Friday, flanked by his players. "This will be these players' first introduction to the National Football League without the pressure of making a team in training camp. By the time they are drafted and go to training camp they will have an understanding of what's expected of them, having worked with NFL coaches and players for a week. There won't be anything like this."
Edwards agreed with his former coach in more matter of fact terms. "In the NFL, players don't graduate … in pro football … you come out of college and there's a 30-year-old man standing there saying, 'You're trying to take my job.'"
It's something that the players all seemed to be aware of now, but they also were just appreciative to be part of this process and to get a chance to extend their life's long pursuit. While the real world might await, many of them talked about the decision points they'd made in recent months.
"It was something that I had to talk about with my family," said Miami RB Mike James. "I had to decide about who to do next, to go get a job or work as hard as I could to live my dream."
Players who are in this game know that they will have to sacrifice to make it in the NFL and they are willing to do what it takes. Vermeil said one of his linebackers was asked about playing fullback in the NFL. Another prospect Alabama State QB Greg Jenkins played some receiver in practice this week … and actually looked pretty good at it. Could he be the next Brad Smith? As his coaches are telling him, he's going to have to work very hard whatever he does to get his shot in the NFL.
For some guys, getting their shot might be harder or easier just based on their names. The event has drawn promising prospects with familiar names — Wisconsin cornerback Marcus Cromartie (brother of Jets corner Antonio and cousin to Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie), Vandy QB Jordan Rodgers (brother to Aaron) and Utah's David Kruger (brother to Paul Kruger of the Ravens) as well as some up and comers like Miami RB Mike James, Virginia Tech LB Bruce Taylor and Texas WR Marquise Goodwin.
But for players with last names that we might know, it's clear that they are not looking to trade on them. When American team Head Coach Herman Edwards joked Jordan Rodgers during the press conference about whether he's ever asked by reporters about being Aaron's little brother, Rodgers joked back that he just tells reporters that he "plays to win the game."
Edwards quickly took the learning opportunity to coach up Rodgers some more by telling him to add the trademark 'hello?!' at the beginning.
These young guys are still learning …

Relaxed style roman shades add a casual touch with their soft bottom swag, to rooms where you kick back and relax. Show me more
YourBlinds Relaxed roman shades are made from woven fabric. These blinds can be raised or lowered like a blind. The relaxed style of roman shades is similar to the flat roman shades style, but with a less structured bottom. YourBlinds Relaxed roman shades hang flat, with the bottom of the shade gathering at each side to create a gentle swag at the bottom.
We recommend an outside mount for best looks so the fabric can flow freely without the constraints of a window frame.
Sorry we do not have any blinds and or shades that match your selected sizes. Please reselect new sizes to see if we have items that match.

A state corrections officer will resign his position as part of a plea agreement in Jefferson County Court that resolves charges that he possessed items stolen from several construction sites.
Aaron A. Netto, 36, of 23997 County Route 159, pleaded guilty Monday to four counts of fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, attempted tampering with physical evidence and conspiracy, all misdemeanors. He entered his plea to conspiracy using an Alford plea, meaning he did not admit to the allegations, but was pleading guilty to avoid the possibility of being convicted of the charges at trial.
A trial was scheduled to start Monday in the matter, but was canceled with the pleas.
Mr. Netto was charged in a grand jury indictment handed up in March with possessing a refrigerator stolen from Value Homes, two generators stolen from Three Phase Line Construction, a Wacker tamper owned by Con Tech Building Systems, a Stihl chain saw stolen from Act II Construction and scaffolding belonging to McQuade & Bannigan. It also is alleged that he conspired with others to possess the stolen goods and that during the course of the police investigation into the matter, he moved the tamper from his residence to another location, resulting in the tampering with evidence charge.
In addition to resigning as a corrections officer from Riverview Correctional Facility, Ogdensburg, Mr. Netto faces up to three years probation at sentencing Nov. 22. He also will be ordered to pay $1,600 in restitution.
Jedadiah D. Romeo, 31, Watertown, pleaded guilty Feb. 19 to third-degree burglary in connection with the stolen goods, admitting that on Sept. 8, 2012, he entered the construction site of Samaritan Summit Village on Summit Drive in the town of Watertown with the intent to steal something. He also admitted that sometime from Sept. 15 to Sept. 17, 2012, he entered a second construction site in the town of Watertown, again with the intent to steal items.
Mr. Romeo was sentenced April 19 to an unspecified amount of time served at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and five years probation. He also was ordered to pay $17,556 in restitution.
Burglary charges remain pending against Ryan P. Clement, 26, Watertown.

The new Alchemy Gothic catalogue is OUT NOW. To view all of the new Alchemy Gothic collection go online and visit the new releases section of our online catalogue.
With the release of our new catalogue, Alchemy harks back once more to a mythically nostalgic bygone era; the intertwining of high technology with the unexplored potential of Victorian innovation.
Our Steampunk range takes its cue from the conceptions of famed engineer, Ezekiel Empire Rosenstein. While his most inspired invention – the Galvanic Matter Transpositor – was laughed aside by premier pioneers of his time, recently unearthed sketches and scattered accounts have allowed us to gather enough information to demonstrate this forgotten legacy.
Take a look at the entire catalogue now updated with the new releases at alchemygothic.com.

|Tree Farms And Lawncare A $8.5 Billion Industry in N.C.
|Written by Christie James
|Thursday, 15 March 2007 02:56
A new report shows that the green industry contributes over $8.5 billion dollars annually to the state's economy. The green industry is comprised of any business devoted to growing and selling trees and flowers including greenhouses, landscapers, sod producers, and, of course, Christmas Trees growers.The Green Industry Council's Louise Hodges says the industry is a major player in North Carolina's economy. It employs over 150,000 thousand people, and has made use of abandoned tobacco fields. The study was compiled by the North Carolina Dept. of Agriculture and NC State University. In a separate announcement, Gov. Easley said North Carolina is tied with four other states for the nation's lowest state and local business tax rate. That's according to a study by Ernst & Young, one of the world's leading accounting firms. North Carolina's business tax rate is 3.9 percent.
