Fleet Division is 26th greenest fleet in the nation
The City of Colorado Springs Fleet Management Division who is responsible for maintaining all City and Springs Utilities vehicles received high ranking in October as a top government green fleet, ranked 26
in the nation.
The Government Green Fleet Award is open to all Federal, State, and local government fleets in North America and is supported by the Clean Cities Coalition. It functions as an assessment standard that serves as a foundation for implementing greener fleet practices. Here are some green facts about the joint fleet division:
The City and Colorado Springs Utilities currently own 37 hybrid and 164 flex-fuel vehicles.
Biodiesel currently makes up 32% of the fuel used by the City and Colorado Springs Utilities.
In October, the City began piloting a vehicle pool program at the City Administration Building that will increase vehicle fuel efficiency.
The fleet recycles antifreeze, scrap metal, oil and oil filters, fuel, lead acid batteries, Freon, refrigerant and tires.
Last year, 2009, was the first year that the City Fleet Division applied for the award, when it was ranked 23
in the nation. Given the financial reality of 2010, Fleet Division Manager Tom Monarco has had to balance sensitivity to the environment with significant funding constraints.
For example, one of the challenges negatively impacting green fleet efforts is the expiration of the $1/per gallon biodiesel tax credit that occurred at the end of 2009. Yet, Monarco feels that despite circumstances the fleet division has been able to hold its own and believes the division will be able to achieve more in the coming year.
The Government Green Fleet Award e
valuation categories consider:
Fleet Composition
- Current fleet composition of conventional fueled (gas & diesel) vehicles versus hybrid, electric, and alternative fuels vehicles.
Fuel & Emissions
- Use of renewable and alternative sources of energy versus conventional fuel, as well as, efforts to clean up on and off road diesel equipment.
Policy & Planning
- Future planning for the environmental role of the fleet, including budgeting for and purchasing green technologies.
Fleet Utilization
- Not only how the fleet is used, but how it determines what size vehicle is appropriate for a given job classification, plus the incorporation of loan pool and car sharing programs.
- Learning about new, quickly-changing technologies.
Executive & Employee Involvement
- Efforts to educate others on the advantages of a green fleet, available technologies, and associated costs.
Supporting Programs

Gov. Paul LePage says he did not pressure hearing officers at the Unemployment Insurance Commission to rule in favor of employers in unemployment compensation cases. According to a report first published in the Lewiston Sun Journal, the governor met with 10 officers at a Blaine House luncheon last month and allegedly pressured them to stop ruling in favor of workers in their appeals. The president of the Maine Employment Lawyers Association has since filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor about the meeting. But, as Susan Sharon reports, the governor is taking issue with that, too.
Speaking at an impromptu meeting with reporters in Auburn Tuesday afternoon, Gov. LePage says the tone of the Blaine House luncheon described by anonymous hearing officers to the Lewiston Sun Journal differs from his perception and intent. He describes it as a "cordial" gathering and says he never pressured anyone to do anything.
"They had agreed they were going to work with their supervisors, look for the ambiguity in the laws, send it over to our office, we would put a governor's bill upstairs and try to get the ambiguity out of the law," he says. "Now, how this became negative and nasty, I don't know. "
The Sun Journal reported that several people who attended the luncheon meeting said they felt "abused, harassed and bullied" by the governor's tone and rhetoric and worried they could lose their jobs if they did not skew the outcomes of their appeals cases in favor of employers. The attendees' names were witheld by the paper because of the fear of retribution.
According to the sources, the governor said the "actions of the hearing officers were destroying the business climate in Maine." And while the hearing officers, whose salaries are federally funded, reportedly tried to explain that they are required to adhere to federal guidelines in deciding unemployment insurance claims, the governor later released a memo criticizing their work.
The memo highlights two cases in which "erroneous rulings on evidence" were allegedly made against employers. But the governor says he isn't upset about just a couple of cases. He says he's been getting complaints about Maine's unemployment claims process from hundreds of employers.
"Hundreds and hundreds - emails, letters, Saturday mornings, everyplace I go," he says. "It's common, but let me tell you one thing more important: Attorney Webbert, he's pulling the wool over Maine peoples' eyes."
"Attorney Webbert" is David Webbert, the president of the Maine Employment Lawyers Association, which represents workers in employment cases, including claims for unemployment compensation benefits. Last week Webbert wrote a letter to the administrator of the Office of Unemployment Insurance at the U.S. Department of Labor on behalf of his group's 50 members asking for an investigation of the governor's actions.
"His spokesperson and his top advisor said the meeting was called because of complaints by businesses about specific cases, and that is an unlawful reason to be talking to impartial hearing officers right there, and that's his own people saying that," Webbert says. "So, the evidence comes from the written documents and the governor's own people."
In his letter to the administrator, Webbert writes that hearing officers started having problems on their jobs soon after Gov. LePage took office. They began receiving unprecedented criticism from their supervisors about appeal decisions in favor of employees, and later learned that their administrative assistants had been "secretly instructed to send all draft appeal decisions in favor of employees to supervisors for further review."
Webbert writes that the practice was ended a few months later "only because it was causing a major backlog in issuing appeal decisions." Webbert says his information is based on published reports and emails exchanged between the hearing officers after the governor's luncheon.
"The emails that have come out were written by the hearing officers right after the event on March 21, and those are very strong evidence of what happened," Webbert says. "Obviously, they wouldn't be telling each other false things about what - you know, they both were at the same meeting, so the evidence is unusually strong. It's got nothing to do with me."
"I think Webbert made it up," LePage says.
Susan Sharon: "The complaints?"
Gov. Paul LePage: "Yeah. I do. If he's got witnesses, bring 'em forward. Because anonymous letters, in my book, go into trash cans."
Last week, federal auditors paid a visit to the Maine Department of Labor. Gov. LePage says he was told by the acting U.S. Labor Secretary that their audit was "routine" and not connected to a request for an investigation of his actions. Webbert says he has information to the contrary - that there is an investigation of the March 21 meeting, which will include interviews with the hearing officers themselves.
In the meantime, Gov. LePage has named the two co-chairs of a special commission he's created to investigate Maine's unemployment compensation system. They are Waterville attorney George Jabar and former Maine Supreme Court Justice Daniel Wathen.

Super Collagen is made up of the collagen peptides Type 1 & 3 which support collagen in skin, hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones. Super Collagen is enzymatically hydrolyzed, providing an amino acid ratio with a low molecular weight for maximum bioavailability and utilization by the body. When Super Collagen is taken internally, the body receives the raw materials it needs to supplement the collagen found in all of these areas and may act as a messenger to trigger the synthesis of new collagen fibers.
Super Collagen is neutral in taste and is specially formulated in an easy to take powdered form. It works synergistically with Vitamin C and is recommended to be mixed with orange juice or a Vitamin C supplement.*

CUMBERLAND – Dressed in waterproof rain bibs, plastic gloves and rubber boots, Kerri A. Stenovitch looks more like a commercial fisherman than a fruit farmer.
Indeed, Stenovitch's three-member apple pressing team at Cumberland's Phantom Farms, including Chris Combs, Chameal Rogers and Stenovich's husband, David Joseph, all look like they just walked off a fishing boat at the docks in Galilee.
But there's a reason why they look like they're dressed for heavy weather. Pressing apples and making fresh apple cider is a wet and sticky business, especially when you're churning out about 200 gallons of the stuff in just four hours.
Walk a quarter-mile down a grassy path in back of the 2920 Diamond Hill Road farm stand and you'll find the cider house, a nondescript building near the farm's picturesque apple orchard where 80-year-old trees are heavy with big juicy fruits.
As the apple harvest begins, the cider house comes alive once a week with the loud drone of the washer and hydraulic press as Stenovitch, owner of the 12-acre Phantom Farms, and her team of cider makers get to work making Phantom's famous cider.
Fresh cider is raw apple juice that has not undergone a filtration process to remove coarse particles of pulp or sediment. It takes about one-third of a bushel to make a gallon of cider.
Traditional cider making at Phantom Farms starts with the picking of a variety of apples, which are put into crates that hold upwards of 600 pounds of fruit. Each 600-pound crate of apples can produce 50 gallons of cider, and on the farm's weekly apple pressing day, Stenovitch and her crew can rip through four crates during a typical four-hour work shift.
The crates are hoisted up mechanically, allowing the apples to tumble into a washer to remove dirt and debris before they are crushed. The apples are then pulled onto a vertical conveyor belt into a grater- type mill that crushes the fruit and reduces it to a pulp, known as the pomace or pommy.
Next, the pulp is crushed to extract the juice. This is done in a cider press. The traditional type of press, and the type used at Phantom Farms, is a rack and cloth press (sometimes known as a pack press). In this type of press, a sheet of sisal or hessian is placed across the bottom of a square frame above a trough. A layer of pomace, 4 to 5 inches deep, is poured onto the hessian. The hessian is folded over the pomace, completely enclosing it. Another sheet of hessian is placed on top of the first and the process repeated until the layers fill the frame. The hydraulically operated plate squeezes the layers – applying about 1,500 pounds of pressure - allowing the juice to run into the trough. The pomace is pressed until it is solid and no more juice runs out. From there, the juice flows through a tube into a cooling tank that has spigots for bottling.
The smell of fresh-pressed apples permeates the cider house as Stenovitch and her crew – all wearing protective headphones – work in unison.
In four hours, the crew will have made more than 200 gallons of cider, which will then be poured into plastic jugs and placed in a huge cooler in the basement of the cider house. From there, the jugs of cider will go as needed up to the farm's store, where the shelves are stocked and ready for Phantom Farms' eager customers.
"It's a pretty involved process, although the cleanup afterwards can take just as long," says Stenovitch.
At Phantom Farms, you can get both pasteurized and unpasteurized apple cider.
Stenovitch says pasteurization results in some change to the sweetness and flavor of the cider.
"The main difference between pasteurized and nonpasteurized cider is that unpasteurized cider is more intense and sweet," she says.
Stenovitch, who is also president of the Rhode Island Fruit Growers Association, says every bit of the apple is used when making cider, adding the leftover dried pomace is usually given to a local pig farm.
"There's zero waste of the apples," she says.
Apple harvest typically starts at the beginning of September and lasts until November. Phantom Farms will start offering pick-your-own apples beginning Sunday, Sept. 15.
The farm has 12 acres and grows on eight, including an apple orchard with more than 15 varieties of apples, including MacIntosh, Honey Crisp, Macoun, Cortland, Empire and Red Delicious, to name a few.
And this year's apple crop, Stenovitch says, is one of the best in recent memory. Last year, New England had a dismal apple crop, after apple blossoms sprouted during a warm April then were killed off by a frost. By contrast, growing conditions were favorable this year, with minimal late frosts, a wet early summer and recent dry conditions.
"We have a phenomenal crop this year," she says.
The New England Apple Association says apple lovers can expect a good crop this fall with an estimated 3.5 million 42-pound boxes, just under the region's five-year, 3.6 million-box average. The crop will be significantly larger than in 2012, when the region harvested just 75 percent of a normal crop due to widespread frost and hail damage.
Gov. Lincoln Chafee proclaimed Sept. 6 as Rhode Island Apple Harvest Day to bring attention to the history and value of Rhode Island's apple industry.
Apples have been an integral part of the state's agriculture since the 1600s. The first North American variety, Yellow Sweeting, was developed by William Blackstone in Cumberland. The Rhode Island Greening apple, which was developed in 1796 and originally from the Green End area of Newport, is the state fruit and continues to be an important apple variety for both commercial and home use.
The R.I. Department of Environmental Management's Division of Agriculture publishes a free guide to Rhode Island apple orchards, including orchards where you can pick your own apples.
Neighboring Massachusetts boasts more than 100 varieties of apples, including local favorites like MacIntosh, Cortland, Macoun, Gala and Honeycrisp.
There are approximately 369 apple farms in Massachusetts.
The value of the Massachusetts apple crop in 2011 was more than $19.4 million.
More than 40 percent of apple growers market their apples directly to consumers through roadside farm stands, farmers' markets and pick-your-own operations.
"Apples are symbolic of fall in Massachusetts," said Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources Commissioner Greg Watson. "Crisp weekends are perfect for apple picking with the family and friends, as well as supporting local farmers."
The 60-year-old Phantom Farms is more than just apples. Over the last decade, the farm has expanded its operation to include strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers, and giant pumpkins. In addition, Phantom Farms offers a country bake and gift shop, garden center and flower shop.
The farm also ships a variety of products throughout the United States, including in-season apples and tomatoes, jams, jellies and dips, gift baskets, and the farm's award-winning Eccles cakes and select pastries.
Stenovitch, 39, a Cumberland native and Rhode Island College business school graduate, worked on the farm in various capacities for more than 25 years. Last year, she and her husband, David, became the farm's new owners.
"We just fell into it," says Stenovitch, whose 8-year-old son, Michael, also helps out on the farm. "We had been leasing it for a number of years, and things just worked out."
Life on a working farm, she says, has been both fulfilling and a dream come true. "I tell people, I'm not working, I'm playing. This is my meditation," she says.

(Macroclemys temminckii)
The Alligator Snapping Turtle has three very distinctive ridges running along the length of its shell. Their shell can grow up to about 66 centimetres long and they can weigh up to 80 kilograms. They have an extremely long tail, which can be as long as their shell. They have a rather large head with sharp, beak like jaws.
The Alligator Snapping Turtle is found in the southeastern United States. They will generally inhabit freshwater rivers, canals, lakes and swamps in the still water. Young hatchling turtles will live in smaller streams.
The Alligator Snapping Turtle is both a hunter and scavenger and will eat fish, frogs, snakes, snails, worms, clams, crayfish aquatic plants and even other turtles. This turtle has a unique method of catching its prey. It will sit motionless on the bottom of the waterway with its mouth open. They have a small, pink, worm-like lure on the bottom of their mouth which they wiggle to attract their prey. Once the prey item is close enough, The Alligator Snapping Turtle will grab it with its powerful jaws.
Alligator Snapping Turtles reach sexual maturity between 11 and 13 years of age. Mating season is between April and June and in this period, the females will lay clutches of between 8-50 eggs in a hole dug in the sand about 50 metres from shore. The eggs are incubated in the sand for 100-140 days before the hatchlings emerge. The hatchlings look very much like the adult Alligator Snapping Turtle and are left to fend for themselves.

Sex: Male
Weight: 60kg (132lbs)
Lightning is our largest Alligator Snapper and the father of our four sub-adults. He weighs over 60kg and gets his name 'Lightning' for a reason. He doesn't particularly like anyone intruding in on him in his pond and he will very quickly chase you out. On the other hand if you are bringing him some nice juicy fish it is a totally different story.
When Lightning eats he usually swallows the fish whole or slices them with his sharp lightning fast jaws. Lightning has lived here at the Zoo since 1985 and is very loved and respected. Alligator Snappers are native to the southeastern region of the United States of America so we are so we are extremely lucky to have Lightning with us.

You'll need the wireless NIC module for Xbox, which I believe connects to the regular NIC output on your Xbox. That can give you wireless connectivity to your router.
As for router, I believe there's a list of compatible routers somewhere on Xbox's site, try doing a search but as far as my knowledge is, a router is a router and should work with Xbox.
And... I hope you don't mind me moving this to the xbox forum.

Black Paths
When the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated after World War I, control of the Adriatic port of Fiume (now Rieka, Croatia) was hotly disputed. Enter "Pirate King" Gabriele d'Annunzio, an Italian poet who stormed the city with 3,000 Italian nationalists. D'Annunzio declared Fiume a free republic and himself commander. He envisioned a utopian city-state, but Fiume quickly became a surreal center of violence, looting, and decadence, with shades of the Fascist movement to come. Acclaimed comics artist David B. uses this real event as a backdrop and seamlessly weaves history, hysteria, and highly stylized art into the tragic love story of a beautiful torch singer and a young soldier haunted by the horrors of trench warfare.

CABOT–The UCA Girls picked up their fourth win of the season while the Crusader boys loss their third of the year as the two teams earned a split on Monday evening.
For the girls, it was a well-rounded effort, utilizing their triangle and two defense to shut down the Cabot bigs while getting offense from multiple players in their 39-38 win.
"Our play movement was the best it has been all year and the balance of scoring was nice to see," said coach Molly Smith.
Laura Libby had ten points while Christina Maxwell and Olivia Foster each had nine.
With Amy DeLaBruere out sick, Whitney Carter stepped up and her best game of the season for the Lady Crusaders, who moved to 4-9 for the year.
Speaking of DeLaBruere's, the boys may be without Jon DeLaBruere for the remainder of the season as his shoulder, which was injured while he was playing goalie this past soccer season, finally gave out early in the game, forcing the team to play without their defensive play-caller.
With the big man on the bench, Cabot was able to earn the 60-52 win.
Chris DeLaBruere's outside game continues to shine bright as he had another six three pointers for the Crusaders against the Huskies.
The boys now stand at 9-3, and both teams will ready themselves for a trip to Franklin County this afternoon to take on Richford.
The action begins with the girl's game at 5:30, followed by the boys.

WADDINGTON – A Waddington teen will celebrate her birthday by honoring those affected by cancer.
Micaela G. Hargrave, 16, is asking the community to join her as she celebrates her 17th birthday with a Birthday Bash Against Breast Cancer. The event will be held from 7:30 to 11 p.m. today at the Waddington Town Hall.
Instead of presents, Miss Hargrave is asking for donations in honor of Darcy Ashley, the mother of friend Courtney Ashley. Darcy Ashley passed away from breast cancer on Dec. 16, 2008, Miss Hargraves birthday.
I guess wanted to do it because I feel guilty seeing one of my best friends mourning her mom when I was celebrating my birthday, according to Miss Hargrave. It upset me and made me want to do something about.
Miss Hargrave said Miss Ashley was not the first of her family and friends to be affected by the terrible disease.
My mom is a survivor, she said. It is coming up soon for 10-year remission of being cancer free. My grandmother and my moms great-aunt also had breast cancer. Also, my music teacher and elementary school principal. I looked at all these people, and realized how many people have been affected by it. I just wanted to do something.
Miss Hargrave and her mother, Linda M. Hargrave, worked for over six months planning and preparing the event.
I had this in my mind for about two years now, Miss Hargrave said. But I didnt know how we would afford it. I didnt realize we could ask businesses for donations, and that people would be so giving.
For the last two months, Miss Hargrave has received donations from several community businesses and organizations in Potsdam, Massena, Norforlk, Norwood, Madrid, Waddington and Ogdensburg.
Everyday after school for two months, my mom would pick me up and wed get home late at night just asking for donations, Miss Hargrave said.
Its been amazing, Linda Hargrave said. The response weve been getting is incredible.
The crew now has 11 gift baskets for raffle, with baskets valued between $30 to $50 each.
Miss Hargrave said the public is welcome to attend and make a donation. The money will go toward the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research.
I would like to have people bring pictures of loved ones to share, she said.
Many local businesses have donated refreshments and door prizes. Music will be provided by dee-jays Double A. Dress is semi-formal, but Linda Hargrave said they would not turn away anyone away in casual dress.
We just want the community to be able to come out support this great cause, Mrs. Hargrave said.
For information, call 322-4149 or 869-8801.

News360: Getting to Know You at a Snail's Pace
Everybody's targeting these days, and that can sometimes be creepy. But when an app offers to plumb my depths so it can deliver news articles I truly want to read, saving me the time-consuming bother of searching unscientifically through masses of headlines, I'm interested. The only problem with News360 is that it couldn't figure me out fast enough to deliver on that great promise.
Apr 5, 2013 5:00 AM PT
News360 is available for free at Google Play.
News360, a learning news aggregator for Android, has recently been updated. I decided to take a look.
Uniquely, this app uses a thumbs-up button style of interaction in combination with collected statistics to provide stories that are supposed to be customized for you.
Unlike aggregators such as Google's Currents, Pulse News, Flipboard or Feedly, News360 claims to learn what kind of stories you like and don't like as you read.
Good luck. I'm not sure that my taste in news can be learned -- but if it can, News360 sure is a slow learner.
About the App
News360 is a free app available in the Android Play store. There's also a Google TV version available for the big screen. It's available for straightforward Web page delivery as well, along with desktop browser add-ons.
I used my Google ID -- the same one I use for Gmail and Google Reader -- but you can log on via Twitter, Facebook and so forth. Connecting accounts allows the app to learn from content in them too.
Setting It Up
On launch, you're prompted to choose from News360-provided categories of stories that you might be interested in. This provides News360 with leads. I chose a bunch, including Programming, Graphic Design and Business.
To be fair to News360, I also imported my Google Reader RSS feeds, which I recommend you do too if you have a collection. Give News360 a head start. I have esoteric interests, as I'm sure you do.
I'm glad that I did this, because News360 takes forever to learn your interests. If you don't give it a kick-start, you'll be reading about regional central banking crises for days, when you want to read about regional Net neutrality, say.
In other words, the more of your usual news sources you can pump in, the less boring the learning curve will be for you. News360 takes days to gather stats, and you can't fool it by speeding up your reading -- I tried.
I'm on Day Four, and the app is still collecting stats about my interests. This means I've been plowing through article headers for the last four days that I had little interest in.
According to the app, I'm about three-quarters of the way through the stat collection -- which means potentially another few days of this unproductive tedium. I would rather rapidly scan my Google Reader feed for the news sources I trust and that interest me. That's been a tried-and-true method for me.
Like us all, I have a limited amount of time to read, and I have gotten used to picking and choosing my sources, then capturing the RSS feed and perusing articles chronologically and efficiently.
However, "no gain without pain" as they say, and News360's promised 10,000 news sources, its promised learning algorithm, plus the feeds that I've integrated should, theoretically provide results -- eventually.
Meanwhile, I have been frenetically touching the thumbs-up button whenever I can find a header I like, in the hope this will speed things up. Insert "watching paint dry" analogy here.
Offline Reading
Unlike Google's excellent Currents news aggregation product, News360 has no offline functionality. It captures the title and header text from the feed, and it will not parse the body offline.
This limited functionality is common to most news aggregation products, and Google's Currents is an exception. So be aware that News360 won't work aloft -- and that's a place many will want to use it.
You're better off setting up a Google Currents app if that's your reading environment.
Bottom Line
This has been one the hardest reviews I've written recently, because however I try to rewrite it, the copy is coming out overwhelmingly negative. I wish that weren't the case. I want to like this app. It's a great idea, and if it works, it promises to provide articles that I'd otherwise miss.
However, after multiple days of the app eating up my reading time -- plus my general, admittedly obnoxious impatience; plus the fact that I have existing tools that work; plus the app's drab look and feel -- I need a break.
For now, sorry News360, it's over and out from me. Readers, give it a go if you think you have the patience. Please let me know how you get on if you do.
Want to Suggest an Android App for Review?
Is there an Android app you'd like to suggest for review? Something you think other Android users would love to know about? Something you find intriguing but aren't sure it's worth your time or money?
Please send your ideas to me, and I'll consider them for a future Android app review.

POTSDAM Seventh-seed Rensselaer gave the Clarkson University womens hockey team a scare in the ECAC hockey playoff opener Friday night at Cheel Arena.
But a tip-in goal in overtime by captain Carly Mercer gave the No. 2 Golden Knights a 3-2 win and a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three quarterfinal series, which continues at 4 today.
If Clarkson wins, it will advance to the semifinals next weekend. If RPI wins, there will be a deciding game at 4 p.m. Sunday.
I didnt see a whole lot, Mercer said of the play. I just saw (Jamie Lee Rattray) throw it toward the net, and I just wanted to be there to set a screen and it just happened to hit me and go in. I didnt even know it went in. I (had heard) it barely crossed the line.
Clarkson (27-8 overall) beat RPI twice during the regular season, but the Engineers (10-21-4) never let the Golden Knights stay in a comfortable position throughout game one.
This was a great game here tonight, RPI coach John Burke said. We knew this was going to be a long, tough series here, and our goal is to get to Sunday. I thought our kids did a really good job responding in those key situations. We are a very mentally tough team. Well be back (today).
Clarkson struck first in Fridays game when Vanessa Gagnon scored on a shot from the circle at 3 minutes, 42 seconds of the opening period.
But midway through the first period, Clarksons Shannon MacAulay was called for roughing, and RPI took advantage with a power-play goal by Alexa Gurschow, which was set up by a pass from Jordan Smelker, to tie the game 1-1 at 10:53 of the first period. Especially in playoffs the game is all about momentum, so you want to keep the momentum when you have it instead of giving it back to them, Clarkson co-coach Shannon Desrosiers said. Its always easy to be the underdog. I think our team has handled it really well.
Weve kind of had the bulls-eye on the back since the first weekend. I think we handled it well in overtime and we just believed. We knew wed get the job done, Desrosiers added. The game remained in the 1-1 tie until 11:05 of the third period when Rattray scored a goal while lying on her belly. She was knocked to the ice in front of RPI goalie Kelly OBrien, but still poked a shot between her legs to give Clarkson a 2-1 advantage.
I have no idea (what happened), Rattray said. I kind of got tripped up and just put it to the net. I just heard the horn go off. I dont know if the goalie thought I was going to shoot it after I fell. Im glad it went in. I kind of got a lucky bounce there.
Just as it did in the first period, RPI had an answer when Clarkson took a lead and it started with another power play as Olivia Howe was called for tripping at 14:02.
The Engineers scored exactly two minutes later on a shot from Taylor Horton, but it came a second after the power play had expired.I thought we did pretty good at being calm (in overtime), Rattray said. We got off to kind of a rough start in the beginning and then we kind of calmed ourselves down.
We got back to our game and I think we got the momentum back through a power play there. All we have to do is stick to our game and thats what we did and thats what made us win the game.

Brown and Wheating give fans a funny look "Behind The Stands"
EUGENE, OR - Maybe they've just got a lot of down time, but Oregon Track Club's Russell Brown and Andrew Wheating share a special bond. They enjoy clowning around and putting the video of their adventures on the internet for the world to watch.
"We'd be at practice everyday and be on these runs together and try to pass the time," explained Brown. "We'd get to talking and come up with these zany ideas."
"On our runs, we just goof ball and knock around ideas, just really stupid things," said Wheating. "In today's society, sitcoms kind of get a lot of attention. We've seen our fair share of sitcoms and so these stupid ideas blossomed to how we would see them in a sitcom."
They've got their own website called "Behind The Stands." Not much is off limits for the two runners. You'll have to see it for yourself.
"When we first started, it was just pure entertainment," said Brown. "Then we realized that we kind of had something. We wanted people to see it. Both of us were sort of proud of what we'd done."
"Next thing, I'm in drag on the street corner," said Wheating. "So, I said, 'Well, now the bar's been raised. What's going to be the next stupid thing we do?'"
Next up on the track is the U.S. Olympic Trials at Hayward Field beginning Friday, June 22nd.
"As it approaches, I'm actually getting less and less nervous because I've realized that there's just not much to it," said Brown. "If I just run as fast as I can, then I might just be on the team. That's pretty fantastic."
Wheating shocked the Hayward crowd and himself in 2008 when finished second in the 800-meter final to earn a trip to Beijing and the Olympics. He's had to fight off injuries the past couple years and is hoping for a return trip to the summer games.
"I just want to go into it (and) I want to have fun," said Wheating. "I just want to see what happens. I think that attitude worked for me four years ago. I think I'm going to try to keep to it this year."
That'll be worth watching.

Since 32-bit Kubuntu became all scrambled up after a thunder storm, I made a commitment and decided to explore the 64-bit world for my desktop machine. I had received two DVD disks from Ubuntu team, and installed the 64-bit version in that desktop. It didn't turn out right. I was chasing all over the place to make Firefox work in that environment. I found a kluged 64-bit version that just didn't like my machine. And there were many other applications that were not working, or working improperly. That's it! No more! I had to dump the 64-bit version of Kubuntu, and find something else.
It was just in time that the latest version of 64-bit and 32-bit Sabayon just came out. I downloaded the 64-bit version, burned it on a DVD, and tried it live, before deciding to install it. And I'm not sorry that I did this! I mean, that everything ran right out of the box! I didn't have to do anything, but to just run the applications. A lot of attention was payed to details before this Gentoo derivative was officially released. I like the idea that updates come almost all the time, on a daily basis. The system is always up to date. My brother-in-law has been using Gentoo for years. He's never had to install another version since. His updates and upgrades just come in like clock-work. He just has to ciick to get the installation started, and it does the whole thing automatically. Originally he did install Gentoo by compiling the entire operating system from scratch. He said that it took it three days to do the entire compilation on his machine. Then he had to tweak it up to his liking, which added some additional time, before he even got to start using this system. But since then, he's been happy with the results after all these years.
Sabayon has the "enque" command to install text-mode updates or applications from the Sabayon's Repositories. And Sabayon also has the access of the Gentoo's Repositories by using the "emerge" text command. And if one likes to install something from scratch, the "portage" resources are available. The entire operation is automatic. The system downloads, compiles, and installs the desired application, without intervention. And Sabayon was also kind of them to provide an installation GUI for graphic-type addicts. The installation manager is called "The Spritz Package Manager.
I would dare to say that the Repositories for Sabayon and Gentoo's are just as vast with choices as Debian's. The nice thing about it is that it just runs properly without any problems on my machine. Try it out and you might get just as lucky as I did. Sabayon is the instant gratification version of Gentoo, without the pain of having to compile it before using it. And it comes with al kinds of bells and whistles. Compiz works right out of the box, with this distribution.

GOUVERNEUR Christopher A. Miller resigned as mayor Wednesday afternoon after a face-to-face meeting with Deputy Mayor Ronald P. McDougall.
We talked about the future of Gouverneur and issues, Mr. McDougall said. We had a good conversation. We came to a consensus, best for all.
Mr. Miller did not return a call for comment.
He has had a tumultuous tenure since he beat Dorothy L. Vorce for the mayors position last fall. After his election, residents learned he was a felon.
In North Carolina, he had misdemeanor counts of driving while license revoked, a felony count of possession of a schedule II drug and a felony count of forgery for which he served probation. In New York, he had pleaded guilty to petit larceny and criminal trespass and was on probation.
After he took office, he racked up a series of judgments, had his wages garnished and recently announced he was filing for bankruptcy. One of his land transactions, which involved a mortgage foreclosure, a lease/purchase option and a disputed $14,000 cash payment, resulted in a Gouverneur resident accusing him of fraud.
A month after Mr. Miller took office, Mrs. Vorce who had been named part-time administrator and Trustee Carl A. Petitto quit. An argument with a Department of Public Works employee with whom Mr. Miller had been romantically involved also spilled over into village Board of Trustees business.
After his meeting with Mr. McDougall, Mr. Miller submitted his resignation to the village clerk about 3 p.m. and it was notarized.
Trustee Charles W. Newvine said Mr. McDougall called to let him know that Mr. Miller had stepped down.
I think his personal life just got in the way, Mr. Newvine said. The job just wasnt getting done.
The village board likely will discuss how it wants to proceed with the vacancy left by Mr. Millers departure when it meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Mr. McDougall said.

United States Census Bureau data indicate that 63.1 percent of all Utahns ages 25 and older had college experience or associate's degrees in 2000.
On the basis of the 2000 figures, Utah ranked second in the U.S.
But Utah's national educational attainment rank dropped to 15th for adults with a bachelor's or higher at 26.1 percent and 23rd for advanced degrees at 8.3 percent.
In addition, the state's rank fell from 25th in 1990 to 32nd in 2000 among 25 to 34-year-olds with at least a four-year degree.
The lower ranking in the key age group suggests that a "brain drain" phenomenon might be occurring, pointed out the Utah Foundation.
To explore the issue, the independent organization completed a survey of Utah's 2004 college and university graduates.
The poll represented the first attempt to measure the loss of Utah-based college graduates and analyze the reasons for the departure.
The foundation researchers conducted an Internet-based survey of 900 graduates who attended college in Utah at public and private schools and graduated in 2004 with degrees ranging from bachelor to doctorate levels.
According to the survey, Utah retained 71 percent of the state's native students graduating in 2004.
In addition, 39 percent of the non-native students remained in Utah after graduation.
Overall, 60 percent of the 2004 graduates remained in the state after graduation.
Looking solely at public colleges, Utah retained 76 percent of native students after graduation, noted the independent organization.
Of the non-native graduates, 46 percent stayed in the state. Overall, 70 percent of all students graduating from Utah's public colleges remained in the state.
The net effect is that the number of graduates staying in Utah equalled 87 percent of the number of natives who graduated from public colleges in 2004.
Seventy-six percent of native graduates remained in Utah for an attrition rate of 24 percent.
When non-native graduates were added to the mix, Utah experienced a net attrition rate of 13 percent, probably not large enough to be considered a brain drain, explained the foundation.
Private colleges also contributed a net influx of graduates to the Utah economy in 2004.
The state retained 54 percent of native students graduating from Brigham Young University or Westminster College in 2004. Another 42 percent of non-native graduates stayed in Utah.
But 66 percent of the students graduating from Utah's two private schools in 2004 were non-natives, creating a net gain of 36 percent, noted the independent researchers.
Of all students graduating from Utah's colleges, 40 migrated to new areas in 2004.
Among the non-native graduates, 7 percent headed to home states, while 15 percent set out for new destinations.
The foundation survey asked 2004 graduates to rate how well some statements characterize their decision about where to live after graduation. These questions were asked to get a sense of the process that students went through in deciding where to live after graduation. To further refine our understanding of their decisions, the students were also asked how important certain factors were in making their decision about where to live.
First and foremost, students expressed a strong desire to live somewhere with a reasonable cost of living. However, when graduates were asked to rate the importance of individual factors in their actual decisions, affordability took a back seat to specific job opportunities, nice communities in which to live, and opportunities for future career advancement. Graduates also care about living in nice communities. They strongly feel that Utah has communities that compare very favorably with other states. Of course, graduates that leave feel slightly less so than those who stay.
Part of the decision making process for graduates, especially those who seek the best opportunity, is deciding whether to work or further their education. Graduates who stayed in Utah entered the workforce at a much higher rate (82%) than those who left (61%). Of all graduates in 2004, 22% decided to pursue further education. With the exception of engineering graduates, the majority of graduates in the sciences left Utah to pursue their graduate degrees. Overall, 57% of students who decide to further their education leave the state. Of all the students who left Utah, 31% chose to further their education,
whereas only 16% of stayers sought advanced degrees. Hence, the conclusion could be drawn that education plays a much
Opportunities for specific jobs and for future career advancement were the most highly rated factors related to job opportunities and were significantly more important than regional wage/salary levels or having many job opportunities. Overall, graduates do not have a favorable perception of job opportunities in Utah. When asked to compare Utah's job opportunities to other places they have lived, most graduates felt that Utah was at least somewhat worse than other areas they have lived. A year after graduation, most graduates who sought work were successful in securing full-time employment. Eighty-nine percent of
students who chose to work after graduation are currently employed full-time, while 10% are either employed part-time or self-employed.
Leavers have had more success in finding full-time employment than stayers at 91% and 87% respectively .
Only 1% of all 2004 graduates were unemployed and seeking a job. Surveyed graduates felt strongly that local wage and salary levels in Utah were well below average and their experience shows the perception to be true. The differences between the wage and salary levels of stayers and leavers are a cause for concern . Among graduates whon were employed, 41% of stayers are earning less than $30,000 in their jobs, while only 23% of leavers are earning less than $30,000, and the percentage drops to 17% for new leavers (those out of state students who leave for a different location than their home). Also, only 14% of graduates who stay are earning $50,000 or more, whereas that figure more than doubles to 34% for graduates who leave. Graduates who stay are clearly earning less than graduates who leave.
The findings of this survey should alleviate some concerns that Utah is spending a significant amount of taxpayer money to subsidize education for people who then leave the state and provide benefits to economies elsewhere. In fact, since out-of-state students pay much higher tuition rates than Utah students, and many of the out-of-state students choose to stay in Utah after graduation, Utah may be receiving a greater "bang for its education buck" than previously thought. Still, we should be concerned about highly talented, well-educated people who leave Utah because there are not enough opportunities here that are commensurate with their abilities. The survey clearly shows that students who leave Utah receive higher salaries than those who stay. Fostering an economy that provides more high-paying jobs would help in the long term to stem this flow. The survey also shows that graduates pursuing advanced degrees, especially medical and other professional degrees, are leaving the state in larger numbers than those who stay for those types of degrees. Some of those graduates will surely come back to Utah after their education is complete, but providing more opportunities for advanced education in Utah would help retain more of them.
Overall, in sheer numbers, Utah did not seem to have experienced a brain drain among its 2004 college graduates. While the state could not retain all its graduates, the number that decided to stay after graduation was almost an exact match for the number of in-state students who graduated from college. This is due to the fact that many out-of-state students decided to stay in Utah after graduating, replacing the native students who left. While numerically Utah might not have experienced an overall brain drain of recent graduates, it seems that Utah lost many highly motivated students to large metropolitan areas outside of Utah. Leavers were more likely than stayers to have sought out and considered the best opportunities, furthered their education, and found higher paying jobs. This is not to say that all the best graduates have left the state. However, many of those who chose to stay in Utah did so because of family considerations and the convenience of their decision to remain in Utah. Graduates have clearly said that Utah is a great a place to live, with good, affordable communities in which to live. This strength will continue to help retain native college graduates as well as attract non-native graduates.

2012 has been dubbed the "Year to Learn Code". Using Code or coding is becoming more common in the workplace. Different computer languages can be used for coding, but the underlying understanding of coding is the desired understanding.These are skills employers are beginning to expect their employees to have. Website building, application development, and automation are some examples of where you would use coding skills. One expert has likened coding comprehension to being the new Latin. If one understands Latin, a general knowledge of the root of modern languages can be obtained. Likewise with understanding how to code.
If you want to participate in the "Year to Learn Code", there are several ways to get started. First up is the excellent Code Academy website. There you will be exposed to a tutorial that you can try out without registering. Once registered, more advanced courses and weekly exercises become available. There are other websites available with tutorials and articles available. Books are also an excellent resource; PHP, Perl, Javascript are examples of subjects the would cover the topic.

We spoke to multiple people who claimed Mr. White had several angry exchanges with a shirtless man in the front row. They said the man who provoked Mr. White's ire was subsequently removed by security. Others claimed Mr. White shouted something before leaving the stage.http://observer.com/2012/09/jack-whi...-fan-mini-mob/Eventually, a member of the Radio City security team provided us with an answer.
"He wasn't happy with the sound," the man said when we asked if he knew why the show seemingly ended so early. "I don't know why he pulled that."

Question. Coming from K-town what is the most efficient method of getting to the Hollywood Bowl tonight (cab? shuttle? driving and parking? parking and taking shuttle?)
white power?!
Park and Ride is the way to go. Then you do not have to worry about traffic/congestion around the Bowl itself.
Just checked and park and ride is not an option. My girlfriend gets off work at 6, which is after, or right when, all the shuttles are leaving so it looks like I am driving. Where is the best place to park?
edit: I guess I am going to park at hollywood and highland and ride the shuttle up.
edit 2: Are doors at 7, or will Joanna go on then?

I think I'm going to try to go to Low End Theory on Wednesday - "secret special guest" the day after FlyLo's album is released, wonder who it could be? Anyone else going?
Isn't that the one with Erykah Badu? I'd like to see that one also, no info yet thoz...
Nah that's the Boiler Room set on Tues and I'd be shocked if any of us find out how to get in.
Technically, you are supposed to buy a transfer, but to do that you need to go upstairs.. It would be easier to just buy a day pass.
I never get a transfer ticket, it's never been an issue even when getting my ticket checked. We're taking the metro from k-Town as well, gonna go hang out at Boho Gastropub beforehand at hollywood/highland.

Whisk together chicken stock (or vegetable stock), balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and dried thyme.
Toss the sweet potato cubes with about half of the balsamic mixture.
While sweet potatoes are roasting, wash mushrooms if needed, dry, and cut into thick slices.
Toss the mushrooms with the rest of the balsamic mixture.
After 20-25 minutes, turn the sweet potatoes and spread them back out on the baking sheet.
Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Mushrooms with Thyme and Parsley
(Makes 4 servings, recipe can easily be doubled, but use two baking sheets if needed. Adapted from Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Mushrooms and Shallots in Bon Appetit, October 2003.)
2 large orange-skinned sweet potatoes (about 2 lbs; these are called yams or sweet yams in some stores)
3 T chicken stock (I used homemade chicken stock, can also use vegetable stock)
2 1/2 T extra-virgin olive oil
2 T balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. dried thyme
salt and fresh ground black peppers to taste
12 oz. mushrooms (I used regular white mushrooms but brown Crimini mushrooms would be great.)
2-3 T chopped parsley for garnish (optional, but recommended)
Whisk together the chicken stock, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and dried thyme. Toss sweet potatoes with about half the balsamic mixture, then spread then out in a single layer on the baking sheet and season with salt and fresh-ground black pepper. Roast sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, just until they're starting to get tender and barely browned on the bottom.
While sweet potatoes roast, wash mushrooms if needed and spin dry or dry with paper towels. Cut mushrooms into thick slices and toss with the rest of the balsamic mixture. (Use the same bowl as you used for the sweet potatoes.)
When sweet potatoes are getting tender and barely starting to brown, turn them over and spread out on baking sheet again. Use a slotted spoon to remove mushrooms from the balsamic mixture (so you don't pour the leftover liquid out onto the roasting pan) and distribute mushrooms among the sweet potatoes, making sure they're in a single layer. Roast sweet potatoes and mushrooms 20-25 minutes more, or until sweet potatoes are tender and nicely browned and mushrooms are done.
Remove to serving bowl, season with more salt and/or fresh ground black pepper if desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.

If you've ever had dandruff, with its telltale white flakes, you probably know that it can be a little embarrassing. This is especially true for kids and teenagers, who may already be self-conscious about their looks.
Fortunately, dandruff is harmless and can almost always be controlled, often with simple over-the-counter remedies.
Dandruff is another name for a condition called seborrheic dermatitis, or seborrhea, specifically seborrhea that occurs on the scalp. It's a very common condition in kids and adults alike, regardless of age or race.
Dandruff causes flaky, white, or yellowish skin to form on the scalp and other oily parts of the body. Other areas that can get seborrhea include the eyebrows, eyelids, ears, crease of the nose, back of the neck, armpits, groin, and bellybutton.
In some cases, dandruff can cause redness in the affected area and may appear crusty and start to itch, sometimes pretty badly. On rare occasions, dandruff can even lead to hair loss if it isn't treated. Any lost hair should grow back once the dandruff is treated, though.
Dandruff is not contagious or an indication of poor hygiene, and it often can be controlled by daily shampooing with a gentle shampoo. In more severe cases, a doctor may recommend a medicated shampoo or cream.
The exact cause of seborrhea isn't known, although some researchers believe it can be caused by an overproduction of skin oil (sebum) in the oil glands and hair follicles. A type of yeast (fungus) called malassezia can grow in the sebum along with bacteria. This may be another factor in the development of seborrhea.
The flakes associated with dandruff sometimes can be caused by conditions other than seborrhea, including:
Dandruff often runs in families and the risk of dandruff can be increased by certain biological factors, such as being a man, being overweight, having oily skin, or having a neurological condition such as Parkinson's disease or a condition like HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) that harms the body's immune system.
Often, the first symptom someone with dandruff will notice are white flakes of dead skin in the hair or on the shoulders. The scalp may also become itchy and scaly.
Other signs of seborrhea:
Most cases of dandruff won't require a doctor's visit and can be treated with special dandruff shampoos available without a prescription.
But if your child's dandruff doesn't get better after a few weeks of using dandruff shampoo, or if the skin becomes red or swollen, you should contact your doctor. Also call if your child's seborrhea gets worse, spreads to other parts of the body, or causes hair loss.
Many cases of mild dandruff can be treated just by shampooing every day with a gentle shampoo. This will reduce oiliness and keep dead skin cells from building up.
Moderate cases of dandruff usually can be treated with an over-the-counter dandruff shampoo. Many types are available and not every one works for every person, so you may need to experiment until you find the one that works for your child.
The different types of dandruff shampoos include:
At first, kids with dandruff may need to use one of these shampoos every day to get their dandruff under control. After that, they can generally cut back to once or twice a week. Have your child massage the shampoo into his or her scalp and let it sit for at least 5 minutes before rinsing it out. After the dandruff shampoo has been rinsed away, kids can use regular shampoo or conditioner so that they smell more like themselves.
If your child's dandruff doesn't respond to over-the-counter dandruff shampoos, or if seborrhea develops in places other than the scalp, talk to a doctor. You may need to get your child a prescription-strength shampoo or an antifungal lotion or cream containing steroids.
After treatment, some people will notice that areas of skin that had seborrhea will be lighter in color than the rest of their skin. This is more common in those with darker skin. This color difference will fade over time and the skin's color will eventually return to normal.
Dandruff is a chronic condition, meaning it can't be cured, but it can almost always be kept under control. Once it's under control, it's usually impossible to detect and will go from being a problem on your child's scalp to something that's barely on his or her mind.
