I Walk with the Goddess, by Kellianna
By Mike Gleason | Leave a comment
I Walk with the Goddess, by Kellianna CD: Kellianna.com, B000WMG5GE, 41 minutes, 2007I said, in the conclusion of my previous review of Lady Moon, that Kellianna's music "…was a real treat and held the promise of more to come. I have no doubt that promise will be fulfilled in future recordings." I was correct. The passage of a few years has done nothing to adversely affect her music. It has merely brought forth even more appealing lyrics and music. Read More

CANTON - St. Lawrence County already has had five confirmed cases of rabies this year, four in raccoons and one in a skunk. No people were exposed.
The towns in which the rabid animals were found were Potsdam, Lisbon, DeKalb, Stockholm and Brasher.
Its spreading all over the county, county Public Health Director Susan J. Hathaway said. At this point, were very concerned we may have a tough year.
Rabies tends to show up in the summer when animals are more active than in the winter, adding an additional element of concern, Ms. Hathaway said.
With the weather turning warmer and wildlife activity on the upswing, the risk of exposure to rabies increases.
Please, please, please do not pick up baby animals that look like theyre abandoned because theyre probably not, Ms. Hathaway said. Wild animals do not make good pets and they can carry disease. Resist the temptation to take them out of the wild.
Ms. Hathaway also advised pet owners to have their pets vaccinated and avoid contact with stray dogs, cats or wildlife.
The departments next rabies clinic is 1 to 4 p.m. April 18 at the Canton Human Services Building on Route 310.
Anyone with questions about rabies or possible exposures can call Public Health at 386-2325.
Department advice includes:
n Do not feed wild animals.
n Keep children away from wild or stray animals.
n Do not trap and transport wild animals to a new location. It could spread disease.
n Discourage wild animals from private property by covering potential entrances such as uncapped chimneys, loose shingles and openings in attics, roofs and eaves.

I am recreating the entire first level of Super Mario Bros. out of LEGO® bricks, using one LEGO® brick per pixel! Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on May 10, 2012.
I am recreating the entire first level of Super Mario Bros. out of LEGO® bricks, using one LEGO® brick per pixel!
About this project
Epic Mario combines LEGO bricks and Mario for epic sized fun!
1985 was a particularly great year. I was six, and being six is pretty awesome. It was the year that I got my very first 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System and with it, Super Mario Bros. It was also the year that I designed the first LEGO set that I felt was worthy of LEGO's attention. I took photos and drew instructions and wrote The LEGO Group a letter asking if they would kindly share my idea with the world. They didn't, but I have been hooked on both LEGO and video games ever since. By the time I was 14, I began designing entire product lines of Lego sets for myself and illustrating the instruction manuals so I could build them again later. That drive for building continues to this day but the scale has changed.
In 2005, I rediscovered my passion for building big. I realized that as an adult I have much greater access to large supplies of LEGO bricks now than I ever did as a kid. Since then, my projects have hovered between 6,000 – 15,000 pieces. By recreating Level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. in LEGO bricks, this project trumps all of my other work by leaping to almost 780,000 LEGO studs. No one that I am aware of has done a LEGO mosaic on this scale before. Only a small number of people have done work with this number of bricks. The final project will stand over six feet tall and over 90 feet wide.
Why is this project important?
I created this project as the basis for the foundation that I want to start. The funding will go directly to the project but the notoriety will help start the foundation. The foundation will work with children in hospitals like Doernbecher's to help bring some joy and laughter to kids during an otherwise dark time. Together the kids and I will create a large LEGO sculpture to be installed at the hospitals. The kids get to help design it and build it. Anyone that has seen kids (or adults) playing with LEGO knows how bright and positive an experience it can be.
There is one little girl that is fighting for her life right now who is truly at the heart of this. Her name is Ella and she is very sick. I think about her every day when I work on this project or the foundation. Her situation has affected me deeply. She doesn't know it, but when the project gets funded I will make sure that she is there to put in the first piece. Sadly Ella's story isn't unique. That is why I am doing this. I want to reach as many kids as I can with this project and help spread the joy.
I want to show the world LEGO and video games can be works of art as well. I and I think many other people, really want to see the entire level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. made from LEGO because it is just FUN! Right now I think we all need a little more fun in our lives.
What does your contribution help fund?
Primarily it pays for LEGO bricks. A ridiculous amount of LEGO bricks. Your money will also go to other materials critical for the installation of the work. Items like plywood, Plexiglas, and mounting hardware.
The funding will not cover items like labor (of which there will be a lot), transportation of the finished project to various conventions around the country and the associated convention expenses. That stuff I will figure out a way to handle if I can get your help with funding the materials.
Where can you see it when it is finished?
The project will be under construction at Bricks Cascade in Portland this June. It will be on full display at the 2012 BrickCon Expo in Seattle and at as many other conventions as I can get to over the year following its completion, like PAX and Comic-Con.
When will it be finished/how long will it take?
My goal is to host a series of brick building parties in the Portland area. Every contributor will get an email invitation to these events. I will hopefully get 10-20 people at each work party and we can get the mosaic assembled in two or three work sessions of a few hours each. At the outside, it will be finished for the BrickCon Expo in October of 2012 but I hope to have it done long before that. I hope to have all the materials in time to begin building it during Bricks Cascade and will let everyone who wants to participate take part.
I will be posting updates to the project along with links to other LEGO artists and projects on my blog. Thank you for contributing and please share the word!
Here is a sample section of what the project will look like. This constitues 1/60 of the total width of project.
Here are a couple of quotes that I have received from two of the 11 certifed LEGO professionals.
"Hi Zachery,
As a LEGO Certified Professional, I have built quite some time and brick consuming stuff myself. I know the challenge you're facing, and I wish you not only the best of luck and great success, but also many, many people that give you either a hand, of a handful of bricks and support !
Dirk Denoyelle, Flanders, Belgium."
"The basic game play of Mario Bros and LEGO is the same - it's all about leveling up. Can I advance Mario and his brother Luigi through the sewers of New York? Can I make my next LEGO model bigger, taller, better? In addition, Mario and LEGO are both classic retro games that harken us back to our childhood. It will be interesting to see if Zachary Pollock can level-up and blend the two fan favorites." - Nathan Sawaya, artist and founder of brickartist.com
"LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group of companies which does not sponsor, authorize or endorse this site"
For now I am keeping that a secret. Fans may have to see the final project completed to find out.
Mario will live on in my heart forever. I have received a lot of feedback from the LEGO community about ways to keep the project alive. I will probably explore those eventually, but not right away. I may shift gears and work on some other projects first, to give myself time to think about other ways of approaching it.
I will apply it towards expenses associated with starting the foundation, and getting the work shown around the country.
The goal with the foundation is to create an environment where I can partner with the pediatric wards of hospitals and businesses to work together creating projects with the kids. The way that it will work is that I negotiate a partnership between the two entities. The businesses will provide financing and the hospitals will provide access. I will go in to the hospitals and work directly with the kids to get them excited about the project and work with them developing a project that they would like to build. Then I will flush out the structure and design of the piece back in the studio. Next comes the critical element. I will bring participants from the businesses into the hospital to actually build the project side by side with the kids and to hand out LEGO sets for all the kids to keep. I think it will create a fantastic opportunity for everyone involved. The kids get to take part in project that will become a permanent part of hospital, and the businesses get a chance to give back to the community.
Epic Mario creates an opportunity for me generate get the word out about my larger aims of starting a foundation while tapping into my community at large and the large LEGO community for support in creating a noteworthy project. There are are couple of ways that Epic Mario will give back to the community. A portion of the net proceeds will get funneled back into Kickstarter to support projects in the Portland area and the areas that my contributors are from. After the project travels for a year, several panels from the project will be donated to the annual auction at Child's Play. Child's Play is a charity that was started by Mike and Jerry at http://Penny-Arcade.com. "Child's Play seeks to improve the lives of children in hospitals around the world through the kindness and generosity of the video game industry and the power of play." They raised over $3.5M in contributions last year. I hope to someday develop my foundation something of that scope, or to partner with them to create a LEGO centric wing of their organization. The conventions that Epic Mario will be displayed at also help contribute to their local communities as well. Many are run by Non-Profit organizations like Bricklandia, Inc. which puts on Bricks Cascade here in Portland. Lots of these organizations run programs to foster the building spirit with kids of all ages.

Aaron D. Carr almost seems groomed for the job.
In childhood, he was a witness to domestic violence, he said.
While attending Albany Law School, he participated in a domestic violence clinic and assisted in the representation of abused women in Family Court.
After being admitted to the state bar in 2003, he began serving as a law guardian for children in his private law practice.
And after being on Jefferson County District Attorney Cindy F. Intscherts prosecution team for nine months, in January 2006 he became her go-to man in handling cases involving victimized children.
Now he is really into it. Effective Sept. 1, Mr. Carr was selected to serve 80 percent of his assistant district attorney duties with the Child Advocacy Center of Northern New York, an arm of the Victims Assistance Center of Jefferson County.
He has been a part of their team for some time, Mrs. Intschert said. Its just a natural progression for him.
The Child Advocacy Center, which was formed in 2007 and was nationally accredited in 2011, is a cooperative effort among several agencies to promote a child- friendly atmosphere for conducting investigations into assaults, sexual abuse and any number of other issues that victimize children. Instead of subjecting young victims to several intimidating interviews by police, prosecutors, social counselors and medical practitioners, the Child Advocacy Center, on the fourth floor of the former HSBC bank building at Washington and Stone streets, offers a more friendly setting for the child. There is one interview by perhaps a couple of people, while other interested parties can watch and listen via closed-circuit TV in another room. If the viewers have questions, they can contact the interviewers.
By sitting in on an interview, or observing from another room, Mr. Carr can decide whether an accused abuser should be prosecuted in court or whether other options should be explored, Mrs. Intschert said.
Our goal is to make sure we do a thorough investigation and decide how to move forward for the benefit of the child, she said.
These cases are involved and labor intensive. We think it serves the community and victims to assign a prosecutor to that program and relieve him of his caseload in other cases, Mrs. Intschert said.
In 2011, the center conducted 139 interviews involving 268 child cases, she said. This year through mid-December, there have been 164 interviews involving 254 children.
Two main issues that we have seen in the last few years have been assaults upon children, a very serious problem, and several victims of sexual abuse, Mrs. Intschert said.
Mr. Carr is expected to be seen in the district attorneys office for only 20 percent of his salaried time, handling some town court cases and occasional appeals in felony cases, Mrs. Intschert said.
With the state reimbursing the county for nearly 50 percent of Mr. Carrs salary for his work at the Child Advocacy Center, Mrs. Intschert said, she is able to add a part-time assistant district attorney to her staff at little if any cost to taxpayers. She said she now has eight full-time assistants and one part-timer.
Mr. Carr is a 1994 graduate of Indian River Central School, and received a bachelors degree in 1999 from SUNY Potsdam.

Some girls love styling their hair -- but for the rest of us, we're always on the lookout for cute, easy hairstyles we can do in less than ten minutes, and still look great. That's where these styles come in: whether you're doing your hair for a special occasion like prom, or just need a quick hairstyle for busy mornings, they've got you covered. And they aren't just for long haircuts, either. There's a style in here for all lengths of hair. Fast hairstyles

We have members in Colorado, but no BOD members.
I would have been willing to take time off from work if someone could have paid my way.
I did not post that request, as I did not think someone would be willing to pay my way there and back.
I would have loved to attend the meeting, but again, my finances would not allow it.
I can not say for the Colorado association, but a phone call to them might help.
They have a few members on here, but not sure how many.
Impacts as this are important to us, and the wheelers that we represent across the globe.
You seem to have a good handle on the issues here.
What was done to garner support for the meeting in the state?
Was there any posts on the local forums asking for people to show up?
I am on Pirate4x4 all the time, and do not remember of any posts on this issue.

If I would've had that good of a handle on things, then I wouldn't have asked for help. The sad truth of the matter is that the law is being blatantly violated and nobody seems to care.
What was done to garner support for the meeting in the state?
Contacting all local organizations and media.
Was there any posts on the local forums asking for people to show up?
Absolutely. A total of 5 different Forums.
I am on Pirate4x4 all the time, and do not remember of any posts on this issue.
Absolutely on Pirate, too.
It might not be too late. What can you do to have someone at UFWDA write Lamborn and Gov. Ritter in an effort that this goes beyond just Colorado?

Are their email addresses listed in the thread or an address for them?

Todd, that would be great. The main points that absolutely need to be addressed, points that are entirely unemotional and only a representation of the law, can be found here:
To contact Congressman Lamborn, visit his website here:
To contact Governor Ritter, visit his website here:
Of course getting on the USFS about this might be helpful, too. But I'm afraid that they dug in their heels and won't be compelled to adhere to the law unless a Congressman, Governor, or Judge makes them.

OK, theres something pretty humorous here, but lets get to the serious part first.
I havent been in contact because unfortunately there hasnt been much to share with you. In other words, I havent heard anything from Congressman Lamborn nor the Governors office. Im giving Lamborn more time because history shows that he does follow through with what he promises, in this case a letter requesting more detail from the FS. But 6 wks since our meeting with him have passed...
Regarding Ritter, however, as you hopefully recall, this matter was passed on to the Dept. of Natural Resources. The point of contact, Heidi, moved on to a different job so Ive been trying to get a hold of Mike King, whos actually the second in command over there. Hes outright ignored all of my calls and e-mails. Today I got a hold of him on his cell. He was dismissive, bordering on rude, and could not tell me anything about anything - literally. He suggested I talk to the Governors Ombudsmens office instead. What a jerk. But hes got a nice smile (
). Two calls to his boss, DNR Executive Dir. Harris Sherman have yielded no return calls (
). I called again today and left a message...
I called the Ombudsmens office and they provided me with one of Ritters attorneys contact info. Placed the call and left a message today. Also, today, I finally broke down and contacted several CO-based attorneys. Meetings next week...
Now heres something pretty funny. I submitted a FOIA and the FS reply was no records. I appealed that in DC and got a letter back from the Deputy Director of the FS. In his writing he confirmed that NEPA needs to be followed in closing this road. But he claims that its not a Forest Service Road and includes a map (this is FSR371, Emerald Valley). And guess what, the map identifies this road as FSR 371. How is it that people with such lack of attention to detail can hold down a job?
Will have more as it becomes available...

Thanks Dan, well done with the persistence. Are there any specific people that a flurry of public letters might improve the awareness levels of ... someone like Mike King perhaps? A UFWDA e-News will be going out next week.

No, Peter, I don't think that any letters would be of any help at this point. Mike King made it clear that he's not interested in this nor that he wants to pursue it.
The latest is that I've spoken to several attorneys about this and that I'm asking the ACLU-CO for help on this. Also, I sent everything again to Gov. Ritter in the form of a request to meet in person (not just me but up to 15 other citizens). We'll see where it goes. I'm also going to talk to the Blue Ribbon Coalition for legal assistance and perhaps you can have Carla contact me to pursue this. From what I understand, due to the fact that in this locale the FS has shown a pattern of illegal road closure, this appears to be a fairly strong case.

Lamborn Update
Reply #23 on:
October 26, 2009, 05:03:00 pm »
Hello All,
The main purpose for all of us to meet with Congressman Lamborn was two-fold: 1. To illustrate how many citizens are concerned about illegal FS road closures, 2. To provide him with a worksheet to pass on to the FS in an attempt to get specific answers to the claims the FS has made and to have the FS provide specific references to the law that might allow for their actions, thereby rendering them not illegal.
Last week I received an answer from the FS regarding Lamborns writing. In a nutshell, the FS evaded answering the points with specificity and actually highlighted yet another violation of federal law. You see, they claim now, among other things, that theyre using the 2009 Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) as their guide. Federal law, however, mandates Public Involvement in this process, which they did not observe. When does it ever end? A Freedom of Information Act request went out today requesting all documentation regarding the MVUM.
You may find the Worksheet that Lamborn requested the FS to address here:
You may find the FSs answer at the following link. Please note that I added comments to most paragraphs, which on the surface actually sound good; simply scroll your cursor over the note symbol:
Regarding Governor Ritter, I have established contact with two of his policy attorneys. That followed a rejection from his scheduling office in which I requested a citizens meeting with him. If I dont hear back this week, I shall call them again next week.
Finally, talks with several independent law firms has established that indeed the FS has violated federal law in closing these roads to the public. I am now awaiting feedback on which legal options we might have, how much it might cost, etc.

South Rampart Travel Management Plan
Reply #24 on:
October 29, 2009, 05:20:00 pm »
As many of you probably know, the South Rampart Travel Management Plan is underway. It's VERY important for you to get involved in this by submitting your SUBSTANTIVE comments to the Forest Service (FS).
Why is this important and why did I CAP substantive?
It's important because unless you comment you have no appeal rights once they proceed with it. However, once you speak your mind, then you have appeal rights if you don't like what they've done. And best of all, appealing a decision costs you nothing but a stamp. And yes, appeals get reviewed independently and FS decisions have been overturned via this process.
Why did I cap substantive? Because unless you provide a substantive comment the FS will ignore and reject your comment. That said, a statement such as, "I think you should keep this road open because it's beautiful" isn't substantive. Here's how the law defines a substantive comment:
36 CFR 215.2 SUBSTANTIVE COMMENTS Comments that are within the scope of the proposed action, are specific to the proposed action, have a direct relationship to the proposed action and include supporting reasons for the Responsible Official to consider.
With that said, please allow me to provide you with what I have sent the FS. I encourage you to review what the FS has done so far and to provide your own comments (
). And if you like, use mine as a template of sorts, but do get involved...
Attn: South Rampart
240 E. Mountain Ave.
Fort Collins, CO 80524
RE: Substantive Comment as per 36 CFR 215.2 regarding the South Rampart Travel Management Plan; submitted via USPS and e-mail (
To Whom It May Concern:
There are two errors on the 2008 and 2009 MVUM that must be corrected for the final Travel Management Plan and subsequent MVUM.
This road appears on the 1984 LRMP map and the 1992 Pike National Forest map but has been omitted from the 2008 and 2009 MVUM. In addition, this road has been closed for five years, despite the fact that its closure must be temporary (defined as up to one year, 36 CFR 220 et seq.) based on the Decision Memo For Temporary Closures of Roads and Trails for Resource Protection and Public Safety. This Order expired 4/29/09 and since this road remains closed to the public, that is in violation of the Order. Moreover, omitting this road from the MVUM has not followed the processes prescribed in 36 CFR 212 et seq. and 36 CFR 220 et seq. Therefore, this road must not only be reopened to the public but must also appear on the MVUM resulting from the South Rampart TMP.
This road appears accurately and in its entirety on the 1984 Land Resource Management Plan (LRMP) map, has been omitted from the 1992 Pike National Forest map past the intersection with Emerald Valley Ranch as it heads due west, and appears again on the 2008 and 2009 MVUM, though only for approximately half of its length as it heads due west from the intersection with Emerald Valley Ranch (presumably stopping where it has been gated). As it relates to the TMP and the associated MVUM, since this road is a Forest System road, has been identified as such on the 1984 LRMP, and no amendments to the 1984 LRMP indicate otherwise, this road must be represented in its entirety as indicated on the 1984 LRMP map.

So I went wheeling up Rampart Range on Saturday. I think this is pretty funny...
I drive by the gate for 322A (one if the illegally closed roads) and somebody took a blow torch to it and cut the top off, which is still hanging there, but the rest of the gate is gone. So the FS bolted one of those steel highway dividers or what you see on the cliff side of a mountain pass to two uprights instead. Looked like 1" nuts and bolts to me.
Beyond being funny to me, I can't help but think how Jeffersonian it was to do this. The FS is clearly violating the law in keeping this road closed to the citizens; in the words of our 3rd President, "a little rebellion now and then is a good thing."

Legal Talk
Reply #26 on:
November 17, 2009, 06:39:33 pm »
Earlier today I got off the phone with Jim Manley, an attorney for Mountain States Legal Foundation. These guys essentially do pro bono work as it relates to public access to public lands. This case is something theyre interested in, but...
The long and short of it is that since the Forest Service (FS) is now undergoing new Travel Management Plan (TMP) activities, fighting the closures at this point in time seems sort of a mute point. He very strongly recommended that all interested parties comment regarding FSR 371, FSR 322A, and any other areas that are of concern to you. This, he stated, would provide every person or organization who commented with legal standing, meaning that we can appeal whatever decision the FS makes. He also indicated that he wanted me to keep him abreast of the developments because if it ever comes to an appeal, he and his firm would be interested in looking deeper into this matter and perhaps helping us with the appeal(s), litigation, etc.
So, I refer you back a few messages of mine ago where I shared with you the address to which to send/e-mail your comment(s), along with my comments and an explanation of what a substantive comment must entail. You ought to use that as your guide. Now that the FS is developing a new TMP, lets see if we cant get our access back.
A few additional notes. The other attorney I spoke to would as a first step study all of the materials I gathered and would then propose a sit-down with the leadership at the FS to resolve this. He most definitely feels that they dont have any legal support for their actions. This could be effective, but would cost between 1-2K. In the end, Im afraid that the FS would simply default to the TMP, and perhaps rightfully so, and 1-2K was essentially spend for nothing. So again, comments is the way to go, get involved in the process! Working through the appeals process costs nothing more than a stamp and at the end of that process, theres still the option to sue the FS.
On the Governors side of things, weve been completely ignored. His two policy attorneys that Ive been put in touch with do not return any of my e-mails or phone calls. Next year is an election year for him and I will be sure to work on his retirement. If anyone is interested in helping out, let me know.
As far as Congressman Lamborn goes, I asked for another meeting in which several of us will ask him to tell us with specificity what hell do to get our public roads back. The request went out 10/29 and to date I have not heard back. So earlier today I sent his scheduling person an e-mail. He should be aware that 2010 is an election year for him too.
As always, stay tuned...

Congressman Lamborn Retirement
Reply #27 on:
January 22, 2010, 04:39:33 pm »
Back in November, Lamborn sent a letter in which he rejected meeting with us. In this meeting he was to explain to his constituency what, exactly, he would do to compel the Forest Service to abide by federal law in closing public roads.
In this letter (
), among other things, he claims to have been in contact about this issue with three past Forest Service chiefs. I submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the agency in order to ascertain the truth of that statement; hence the delay in my reply (
). It seems that his statement was a fabrication.
Suffice to say, Lamborn has proven to be an utterly worthless representative in this matter, which raises questions about his effectiveness in other, much more complex issues. I believe his retirement is in order and this work is being organized now. Let me know if you care to become involved.

The Colorado Springs Independent is doing a story on this issue and Lamborn's incompetence on Friday. Apparently the writer has only been given limited space at this time, but it's a good start.

The leaves might be brown and the sky may be gray, but though your surroundings are dark and neutral that doesn't mean you need to wear these colors too! Instead of reaching for your standard outerwear options in navy, charcoal, and noir, now's the time to try something a little more vibrant. Our suggestion? Pick a coat in an ultra-bright hue to inject some serious style into your autumnal and winter outfits. Need help figuring out how to wear this statement outerwear? Check out Proenza Schouler's F/W 11 collection for guidance, as designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez showed an incredible orange Twill Coat ($2500) thrown over a black Sleeveless Leather Top ($1350) and Spiral-Print Pants ($1575). The resulting ensemble is majorly modern, irrefutably cool, and wholly inspiring, so be sure to create your own take on the trend with an equally bright coat. To help you achieve the look, we've rounded up five of our favorite technicolor options, all of which are certain to enliven your cold-weather wardrobe!
1. BB Dakota Melton Coat ($120) in Marigold
A coat in a sunny shade is a great antidote to overcast skies and abysmal weather, and we think this one by BB Dakota fits the bill perfectly. The double-breasted topper can be buttoned-up for a sophisticated, pulled-together look or left un-buttoned if you're craving a more casual option. However you style it, we're confident you'll get a lot of wear out of this chic coat this season!
2. H&M Wool Coat ($129, 310.659.5356) in Red
We can always count on H&M to give us affordable-yet-stylish versions of our favorite trends, and this Wool Coat is certainly no exception. We think its streamlined, no-frills shape balances out the look-at-me, fire engine red color nicely, making it a must-buy for anyone! Simply throw on this topper before you head out the door and all eyes will be on you.
3. J. Crew Double-Cloth Metro Coat ($298) in Oasis Green
When we spotted this ladylike coat from J. Crew, it was truly love at first sight. While many outerwear options tend to be on the bulkier side, this knee-length, feminine iteration features a universally flattering slim silhouette, which is why we're dying to get our hands on one, pronto. Teamed with a pair of brown boots, this topper makes for the perfect go-anywhere look for fall.
4. DKNY Wool Coat ($695) in Raspberry
With so many cool coats to choose from, determining our favorites was no easy task. However, when we came across this stunner from DKNY, we knew we had to feature it. The minimalist, un-fussy design reminds us of something that you see at the Jil Sander or Celine runway shows, but at a fraction of the cost! We're confident that this is one outerwear piece you'll be dying to wear all year long.
5. Diane von Furstenberg Bernice Cocoon Wool-Blend Coat ($795) in Cobalt
Everyone knows Diane von Furstenberg can make a mean wrap dress, but the designer is equally adept at producing swoon-worthy outerwear! Case in point: the fantastic Bernice Cocoon Wool-Blend Coat, which tops our list for a few reasons. We love the oversized silhouette, which gives it an easygoing, relaxed vibe that simply screams "cozy." We're also mad about the exaggerated lapels and roomy pockets, which are perfect for stashing mittens come winter. All in all, we think this cobalt coat is a worthy investment, indeed.-with Erin Fitzpatrick

PARISHVILLE - Four snowmobilers were pulled from the waters of the Rainbow Falls Reservoir Monday night after two snowmobiles crashed through the ice shortly after 8 p.m.
Fire and rescue units from Colton and Parishville and divers from around the county were called out just before 8:15 p.m. Monday to a report of two snowmobiles that had gone through the ice on the artificial lake in the southwest corner of the town of Parishville. The incident took place near 946 Raquette River Road.
Parishville Rescue, according to scanner traffic, reported at 9:15 p.m. that three victims were out of the water. The fourth person was reportedly pulled from the water shortly before 10 p.m. by members of the St. Lawrence County Dive Team.
Parishville Fire Chief Ed Cool said two men were conscious when they were pulled out of the water, and the other two were unconscious. He said three of the victims were being transported to Canton-Potsdam Hospital and a fourth man was being flown by a Lifenet helicopter to a hospital in either Syracuse or Burlington, Vt.
One victim, described as suffering from severe hypothermia, was initially transported to Swift Field in South Colton to meet the LifeNet helicopter coming from Watertown. The chopper was expected to arrive in South Colton at 10:15 p.m. to pick up the 56-year-old male who had been in the water for approximately one hour but the chopper crew reported at 10:10 p.m. they were diverting to the Potsdam Airport due to ground conditions.

If you have an allergy that never ends when seasons change, you may be allergic to the spores of molds or other fungi. Molds live everywhere, and disturbing a mold source can disperse the spores into the air.
What Is Mold Allergy?
Mold and mildew are fungi. They differ from plants or animals in how they reproduce and grow. The "seeds," called spores, are spread by the wind outdoors and by air indoors. Some spores are released in dry, windy weather. Others are released with the fog or dew when humidity is high.
Inhaling the spores causes allergic reactions in some people. Allergic symptoms from fungus spores are most common from July to late summer. But with fungi growing in so many places, allergic reactions can occur year round.
Although there are many types of molds, only a few dozen cause allergic reactions. Alternaria, Cladosporium (Hormodendrum), Aspergillus, Penicillium, Helmin thosporium, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Mucor, Rhizopus and Aureobasidium (Pullularia) are the major culprits. Some common spores can be identified when viewed under a microscope. Some form recognizable growth or colonies.
Many molds grow on rotting logs and fallen leaves, in compost piles and on grasses and grains. Unlike pollens, molds do not die with the first killing frost. Most outdoor molds become dormant during the winter. In the spring they grow on plants killed by the cold.
Indoors, fungi grow in damp areas, particularly in the bathroom, kitchen or basement.
Who Gets the Allergy?
It is common for people to get mold allergy if they or other family members are allergic to substances such as pollen or animal dander. People may become allergic to only mold or fungi, or they may also have problems with dust mites, pollens and other spores. If you are allergic to only fungi, it is unlikely that you would be bothered by all fungi. The different types of fungi spores have only limited similarities.
People in some occupations have more exposure to mold and are at greater risk of developing allergies. Farmers, dairymen, loggers, bakers, mill workers, carpenters, greenhouse employees, wine makers and furniture repairers are at increased risk.
There is only weak evidence that allergic symptoms are caused by food fungi (e.g., mushrooms, dried fruit, foods containing yeast, vinegar or soy sauce). It is more likely that reactions to food fungi are caused by the food's direct effect on blood vessels. For example, histamine may be present because of the fermentation of red wines.
Fungi on house plants can cause an allergic reaction, but this is only likely to happen if the soil is disturbed.
Fungi can even grow in the human body. If not properly treated, intense inflammation can recur often. It can permanently damage airway walls. This is not common, though.
What Are the Symptoms?
The symptoms of mold allergy are very similar to the symptoms of other allergies, such as sneezing, itching, nasal discharge, congestion and dry, scaling skin. Some people with mold allergies may have allergy symptoms the entire summer because of outdoor molds or year-round if symptoms are due to indoor molds.
Mold spores can deposit on the lining of the nose and cause hay fever symptoms. They also can reach the lungs, to cause asthma or another serious illness called allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.
Sometimes the reaction is immediate, and sometimes the reaction is delayed. Symptoms often worsen in a damp or moldy room such as a basement; this may suggest mold allergy.
How Is Mold Allergy Diagnosed?
To diagnose an allergy to mold or fungi, the doctor will take a complete medical history. If mold allergy is suspected, the doctor often will do skin tests. Extracts of different types of fungi will be used to scratch or prick the skin. If there is no reaction, allergy is not suggested. In some people with allergy, irritation alone can cause a reaction. Therefore the doctor uses the patient's medical history, the skin testing results, and the physical examination combined to diagnose mold allergy.
How Is Mold Allergy Treated?
As with most allergies, patients should
Avoid contact with the spores. Wear a dust mask when cutting grass, digging around plants, picking up leaves and disturbing other plant materials. Reduce the humidity indoors to prevent fungi from growing. These measures will reduce symptoms.
Take medications for nasal or other allergic symptoms. Antihistamines and decongestants are available over the counter—without a prescription. Because these antihistamines can cause drowsiness, they are best taken at bedtime. If drowsiness continues to be a problem, talk to your doctor about taking non-sedating antihistamines, which require a prescription. For moderate and severe allergy symptoms, your doctor may prescribe corticosteroid nasal sprays.
If these medications are inadequate, talk to your doctor or allergist about taking allergy shots (immunotherapy). This works for some carefully selected patients.
How Can I Prevent a Reaction to Mold?
Allergies cannot be cured. But the symptoms of the allergy can be reduced by avoiding contact with the spores. Several measures will help:
Stay indoors during periods when the published mold count is high. This will lessen the amount you inhale. Mold spores are "counted" by collecting a sample of particulates in the air then identifying and counting the mold spores in the sample.
The amount of airborne spores are likely to change quickly, depending on the weather. The counts reported are always for a past time period and may not reflect what is currently in the air. The mold that causes your allergic reaction may not be counted separately. This means that allergy symptoms may not relate closely to the published count. But knowing the count can help you decide when to stay indoors.

The mold that causes your allergic reaction may not be counted separately. This means that allergy symptoms may not relate closely to the published count. But knowing the count can help you decide when to stay indoors.
Use central air conditioning with a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter attachment. It will help trap spores before they reach you. Air conditioning with a HEPA filter attached works better than electrostatic air-cleaning devices and much better than freestanding air cleaners. Devices that treat air with heat, ions or ozone are not recommended.
No air cleaners will help if excess moisture remains. If indoor humidity is above 50 percent, risks of fungus growth rise steeply. Hygrometers can be used to measure humidity accurately. The goal is to keep humidity below 45 percent, and preferably about 35 percent.

If humidifiers are necessary, scrub the fluid reservoirs at least twice a week to prevent mold growth. Air conditioners and dehumidifiers can also be a source of mold and should be cleaned.
Put an exhaust fan or open a window in the bathroom.
Quickly repair any plumbing leaks.
Remove bathroom carpeting where moisture is a concern.
Scour sinks and tubs at least monthly. Fungi thrive on soap and other films that coat tiles and grout. For problem areas, use ordinary laundry bleach (1 ounce diluted in a quart of water). Fungicides (chemicals that kill fungus) are less important than a good scrubbing. Fungicides may be added to paint, primer or wallpaper paste to slow fungus growth on treated areas. But this will have little effect if excess moisture remains.
Clean garbage pails frequently.
Clean refrigerator door gaskets and drip pans.
Repair basement plumbing leaks, blocked drains, poorly vented clothes dryers and water seepage through walls.
Use an electric dehumidifier to remove moisture from the basement. Be sure to drain the dehumidifier regularly and clean the condensation coils and collection bucket.
Raise the temperature in the basement to help lower humidity levels. Small space heaters or a low-wattage light bulb may be useful in damp closets. Be careful where they are placed, though, to avoid creating a fire hazard.
Polyurethane and rubber foams seem especially prone to fungus invasion. If bedding is made with these foams, it should be covered in plastic.
Throw away or recycle old books, newspapers, clothing or bedding.
Promote ground water drainage away from a house. Remove leaves and dead vegetation near the foundation and in the rain gutters. Completely shaded homes dry out slowly, and dense bushes and other plants around the foundation often promote dampness. In the winter, condensation on cold walls encourages mold growth, but even thick insulation can be invaded if vapor barriers in exterior walls are not effective.

I ended up changing into thicker tights, since the weather went back to being chilly and cranky, which got the strangest and most distasteful of looks. I wore a pair with one black and one white leg. Such hostility from those little things! On the other hand, I did sort of predict this kind of thing last year. I also wore them on campus on Halloween as my pre-costume outfit, or part of it (I didn't run around without clothing on, I know that some things do not qualify as pants) and the reaction was happy and good! I guess some people are just the biggest snobs and I don't care a bit about them anyway. The remarkable thing was I didn't. A horrible girl in a pastry shop gave me the worst look, and I didn't care at all
In other news, my boyfriend took me to go see Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, and besides the horrendous yelling man four or five rows back whose existance I cannot even begin to fathom, it was such fun! We don't often go out and venture into the world for day trips and things, since we're both so fond of home and blankets, but it is something we will have to do more often!

Nation's longest-serving utility CEO urges an economic path to a clean energy future
CHICAGO - In a keynote address hosted by the Bipartisan Policy Center today, Exelon Chairman and CEO John W. Rowe reflected on his nearly three decades as a key voice on energy and environmental policy and urged elected officials to take an economic approach to transitioning the nation to a clean, affordable energy future.
"I've run companies in economic boom times and recessions, in regulated states and market states. In every case, I've tried to lead somewhere worth going," said Rowe. "Our Exelon 2020 commitment to eliminate the company's entire carbon footprint by 2020—and to publicly advocate for the lowest-cost path to clean energy—is leading somewhere worth going."
Rowe discussed the company's latest Exelon 2020 analysis, which found that by letting competitive electricity markets work, the electric utility industry can slash harmful air pollutants for as little as one-quarter the cost of other politically popular approaches, such as subsidizing favored energy technologies like wind, solar, new nuclear and clean coal.
"Letting the market work, not imposing new mandates and subsidies, is the right way to transition the electricity generation fleet to clean energy while maintaining reliability and affordability," Rowe said.
Exelon 2020 is an annual study of the most cost-effective ways to reduce carbon emissions. This year's analysis went beyond carbon emissions to examine nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and toxic air pollutants targeted by EPA clean air rules.
"While complying with EPA regulations is not without cost, it can be done at prices that are still very reasonable and without sacrificing reliability, especially given that natural gas prices are expected to stay low for at least the next decade," Rowe said. "Congress should not stop the EPA from enforcing the Clean Air Act. Postponing these rules will delay the creation of new jobs across the country to install pollution controls and build new generation at a time when economic benefits and investment are desperately needed."
Rowe, who plans to retire in early 2012, also highlighted six attributes of successful leadership, based on his 28 years as a utility chief executive. These include:• An unflagging commitment to continuous learning• An ability to act despite uncertainty• A personal appreciation and regard for the people who make up the organization• A total commitment to the organization, its vision and its values• Confidence in the future and certainty of success• Leading somewhere worth going
"Truly successful leaders are active inside their business and externally," said Rowe. "Thought leadership and civic leadership are equally as important as corporate success. I always think about how well I am serving my customers and the community, both through the business and outside it."
Rowe is the utility industry's longest-serving chief executive. He was among the first CEOs in the industry to focus on climate change, first testifying before Congress on the potential effects of carbon emissions in 1992. Rowe is the past chairman of the Nuclear Energy Institute and the Edison Electric Institute. He was co-chairman of the National Commission on Energy Policy and serves on the Secretary of Energy's Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future, a panel to provide recommendations on managing used nuclear fuel and waste. Rowe will retire in early 2012 upon the expected closing of Exelon's merger with Constellation.
Rowe's speech today was the inaugural address in a new "On Leadership" speaker series at the Bipartisan Policy Center. Founded in 2007 by former Senate Majority Leaders Howard Baker, Tom Daschle, Bob Dole and George Mitchell, the Bipartisan Policy Center is a non-profit organization that seeks to combine politically-balanced policymaking with strong, proactive advocacy and outreach.
Rowe's prepared remarks are available on the Exelon website at http://www.exeloncorp.com/Newsroom/speeches. A video of Rowe's speech is available at http://www.bipartisanpolicy.org/news/multimedia/2011/11/04/leadership-speaker-series-john-w-rowe.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 490,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.
