PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- After watching the number of rounds played at the municipal Riverside Golf Course decline, the city has made some major improvements to get back into the swing of things.
"Golf is in a competitive environment, and if we don't keep up with the times and make the improvements that are necessary, we will lose players who go to other golf courses because they certainly have a lot of other choices," explained City Manager, Mark Rees.
The city brought in experts from the National Golf Foundation to study what was working, and what was not. They recommended the city be more proactive marketing the course, utilize mobile apps and social media technology and make investments in the courses and their amenities.
"We want to bring in new golfers in order to maintain programs here," said Rees, noting that new construction on the 9-hole South Course was critical. "Previously, we had a log cabin with an outdoor restroom, now we have a modern facility that can accommodate the 9-hole golf course."
Other steps they have taken include developing an app that allows you to see available tee times and make a reservation, making upgrades to the bathroom and lockeroom facilities in the clubhouse on the North Course and hiring a PGA professional to oversee the instruction offered to golfers looking to lower their handicap.
Now that most of the clubhouse work is complete, the city says it plans to begin a five year capital plan to make improvements to the courses themselves.

Grants & Funding
How do I...?
EPA's Brownfields Program provides direct funding for brownfields assessment, cleanup, revolving loans, and environmental job training. To facilitate the leveraging of public resources, EPA's Brownfields Program collaborates with other EPA programs, other federal partners, and state agencies to identify and make available resources that can be used for brownfields activities. In addition to direct brownfields funding, EPA also provides technical information on brownfields financing matters.
- Area-Wide Planning Pilot Program
The grant funding and direct assistance (through Agency contract support) will result in an area-wide plan which will inform the assessment, cleanup and reuse of brownfields properties and promote area-wide revitalization.
- Assessment Grants
Assessment grants provide funding for a grant recipient to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct planning and community involvement related to brownfield sites.
- Revolving Loan Fund Grants
The purpose of Revolving Loan Fund Grants is to enable States, political subdivisions, and Indian tribes to make low interest loans to carryout cleanup activities at brownfields properties.
- Cleanup Grants
Cleanup grants provide funding for a grant recipient to carry out cleanup activities at brownfield sites.
- Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training Grants
Environmental Workforce Development and Job Training Grants are designed to provide funding to eligible entities, including nonprofit organizations, to recruit, train, and place predominantly low-income and minority, unemployed and under-employed residents of solid and hazardous waste-impacted communities with the skills needed to secure full-time, sustainable employment in the environmental field and in the assessment and cleanup work taking place in their communities.
- Multi-Purpose Pilot Grants
The EPA is piloting a new grant program that will provide a single grant to an eligible entity for both assessment and cleanup work at a specific brownfield site owned by the applicant.
- Training, Research, and Technical Assistance Grants
Training, Research, and Technical Assistance Grants provide funding to eligible organizations to provide training, research, and technical assistance to facilitate brownfields revitalization.
- Targeted Brownfields Assessments
The Targeted Brownfields Assessment (TBA) program is designed to help states, tribes, and municipalities–especially those without EPA Brownfields Assessment Pilots/Grants–minimize the uncertainties of contamination often associated with brownfields.
Other Brownfields Funding Opportunities
- State and Tribal Response Programs
Find background information, state & tribal grant funding guidance, MOUs, MOAs, state Brownfields web sites, and state Voluntary Cleanup Programs (VCP) web sites.
- Sustainability Pilots
Sustainability Pilots are an EPA effort to promote environmental sustainability at local brownfields projects.

YIELD: Makes 4 logs, for a total of 80 cookies
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
In large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. In standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes more. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition, then beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture and beat on low just until combined.
Divide dough in half. Form 1 half into 4- by 4-inch square, wrap in plastic wrap, and set aside. Return other half to mixer. In metal bowl set over pan of barely simmering water, melt chocolate, stirring until smooth. Add melted chocolate to dough in mixer and beat just until combined. Form chocolate dough into 4- by 4-inch square and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate both squares of dough 30 minutes.
Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each dough square into 4 strips. Place 3 strips of chocolate dough and 4 strips of vanilla dough on baking sheet and refrigerate. Between 2 sheets of parchment paper, roll out 4th strip of chocolate dough into 6- by 7-inch rectangle (use ruler to make sure dimensions are exact). Remove 1 strip of vanilla dough from refrigerator and, between 2 sheets of parchment paper, roll out into 6- by 6-inch square. Peel off top sheet of parchment from each dough and flip vanilla dough over onto chocolate, aligning top and bottom edges and allowing 1/2 inch of chocolate dough to stick out on each side. Run rolling pin lightly over doughs to adhere, then peel off top sheet of parchment. Fold extra 1/2 inch of chocolate dough over vanilla on 1 side. Starting on folded-over side and using parchment as aid, tightly roll up dough into log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Repeat with remaining strips of dough to form 4 logs.
Refrigerate logs 1 hour, then remove from refrigerator and roll each log on counter several times to prevent bottom from flattening. Refrigerate 3 hours more, then transfer to freezer. When frozen, wrap in parchment paper, twist ends, and tie with decorative ribbon. Attach card with baking instructions for each log:
Keep dough frozen until ready to slice and bake. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease 2 large baking sheets. Using sharp knife, slice dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices and place 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake until vanilla dough is slightly golden, 9 to 11 minutes. Makes 20 cookies.

Hi! I was born in USSR, growing up in post-soviet-collapse-tough-ninties, nowdays living in capitalistic ;) Ukraine. My Mom was sewing for me and my sister, so we never looked like kids around. At that time I thought it was a thing showing off how poor we were. I grew up and started sewing because this was the only affordable way to dress for me. Now I do it because I love it. Not long ago I have fallen in love with the 50's. I draft my patterns based on old Soviet sewing books.

Ice thickness at most mountain lakes is suitable for ice fishing. Nevertheless, the DWR strongly encourages anglers to be safety-minded. Don't fish alone. Each group of fishermen should carry rope and a floatation device. Each angler should have ice picks on his person.Please keep in mind that there have been some regulation changes for the new year. These are identified in the 2002 Fishing Proclamation. One significant change is a four trout daily limit statewide with only a few exceptions. Tributaries to many waters have been closed to fishing until July 13. Be sure to purchase a 2002 combination or fishing license.
Abajo Mountains. Conservation Officer Randall Scheetz reports that the three lakes in Blanding have frozen, but only number three and four would be safe for ice fishing. Recapture Reservoir remains unfrozen. Fishing has been slow at all locations. Access to Monticello and Foy reservoirs would be by snow machine only.
Electric Lake. No recent report on fishing success or ice conditions. Bait is not allowed at this lake, where the trout limit is two.
Huntington Creek. Anglers should be prepared for snow and ice along the length of the creek, except for a short stretch below Electric Lake Dam. Harvest of brown trout on the left fork is encouraged, where the limit is four fish. These must be taken with artificial flies or lures. On the Right Fork, from Flood and Engineer's Canyon upstream to Electric Lake dam, only two trout may be taken and artificial flies must be used. No bait or lures are allowed in this section.
Huntington North Reservoir. (near the city of Huntington). The reservoir has iced over, except for a small portion kept open by ducks and geese. This area should be avoided. Park Superintendent Ron Taylor reports good fishing. Aquatics Manager Louis Berg recommends an ice fly tipped with a meal worm or piece of night crawler.
Huntington Reservoir. (near the top of Huntington Canyon). Tube jigs and meal worms have worked well for tiger trout. Release of tiger trout is encouraged so that fish can grow larger. Any brown trout caught should be harvested. The reservoir is closed to the possession of cutthroat trout and trout with cutthroat markings.
Joes Valley Reservoir. The reservoir has frozen, except for around the dam and on the south end of the reservoir. The ice near the marina at the Seely Creek inlet is dangerous! Springs in the bay keep the ice thin. Avoid all areas in the vicinity of open water. Lures or jigs, tipped with sucker or chub meat are generally effective for splake, indicates Aquatics Manager Louis Berg. Officer Torrey Christopherson suggests one and a half to two inch tube jigs tipped with a meal worm. The daily bag and possession limit for splake is two fish. All splake between 15-20 inches must be immediately released. Release of all splake is encouraged to help with chub control.
Lake Powell. The Lake Powell fishing report home page is http://www.wayneswords.com.DWR Biologist and Project Leader, Wayne Gustaveson, updates fishing conditions at this website weekly. He provides detailed information on locations, tackle and techniques for each species in the lake.
Lasal Mountains. Mountain lakes, with the possible exception of Hidden and Dons, are inaccessible, according to Conservation Officer Edward Meyers. Ken's Lake is almost completely frozen with only a small patch of open water near the southern end. Anglers are urged to check ice conditions before venturing out. The water level is a bit low. The deepest water (35 feet) is near the dam. Meyers reports that fishing has been fair to good for eight-14 inch rainbows, especially near the inlet on the northeast corner in 15-20 feet of water. Fish have been taking eggs, worms and PowerBait. Most trout are near the bottom, but a few can be seen cruising at mid-level with a fish finder.
Lower Fish Creek. Access to the middle portion of the stream on DWR property has been closed until late spring. Only artificial flies or lures can be used below the railroad bridge, which is about one mile below the dam.
Millsite Reservoir. Ice fishing has been good at Millsite with live night crawlers. Other baits and lures have not been as effective, reports Conservation Officer Torrey Christopherson. The ice is about eight inches thick.
Scofield Reservoir. A variety of reports have come in describing fishing as good, fair and poor. It appears that best fishing occurs early in the morning and tapers off during the day. Sergeant Carl Gramlich recommends any type of grub or ice fly tipped with a worm or meal worm. One angler reported good luck with a "Rat Finky" tipped with a wax worm or PowerBait. About one third of the fish being pulled through the ice range from 14-17 inches and weigh up to three pounds. About two thirds are small eight to 11 inch trout. Release of trout is encouraged.
Straight Canyon/Cottonwood Creek. The creek is ice-free on the upper end below the dam.

MASSENA Massena Public Library officials say they have not yet heard from officials with the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services about paying rent for their use of a classroom space at the library.
I dont know if theyre interested, library Director Elaine Dunne-Thayer told members of the librarys Board of Trustees Tuesday night.
They owe us an answer. You need to hear a little bit so youve got some options with the room, board member Robert Manning said.
He suggested giving BOCES a Dec. 1 deadline to reply to the librarys proposal.
If they want to continue using the room, a rental agreement would need to be drawn up and reviewed by the towns attorney.
I think December 1 might be fair, Ms. Dunne-Thayer said, noting BOCES Adult Education Supervisor Lisa McKeel had wanted to approach the BOCES board before giving library officials an answer.
Should BOCES decide not to stay in the space, she suggested it could be rented out to other organizations.
The subject of charging rental space for the BOCES adult education classroom, located in the librarys lower level, has been on the library boards agenda for several months. Board members said during their October meeting that they had asked BOCES officials to begin paying rent on the 980-square-foot space, which they have been using rent-free.
Library officials say the space accounts for 8 percent of the library, which translates to $2,960.96 a year, or approximately $250 a month. Theyve offered to lease the space to BOCES for about $300 a month, which covers two hours of cleaning each week, along with the costs of service for the Massena Electric Department, St. Lawrence Gas and Wi-Fi through Slic.
BOCES has used the space rent-free since January 2012 when it teamed up with the library to convert a room that had been used for Friends of the Library book sales into an adult education classroom.
Classes started Jan. 17, 2012, as part of the BOCES adult education Gateway To College and Careers program.
The space provides a classroom with seating for 24 individuals, as well as state-of-the-art equipment and an eight-station computer lab. Library officials said at the time they hoped the addition of the classroom would draw more visitors to the facility.
If BOCES elects not to retain the room, the equipment that belongs to BOCES would be removed, Ms. Dunne-Thayer said.
Ms. McKeel had noted in October that funding for the adult education programs comes from tuition and grants, and that the BOCES fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30, making the request for rent now five months into the budget season.
However, she said, BOCES officials were looking at their budget to see where to come up with the funding, and suggested that it would have been easier to discuss at the beginning of the fiscal year.
At the same time, the BOCES adult education program is also facing financial difficulties, with Literacy Zone grant funding from the federal government being reduced by $150,000, according to Ms. McKeel.

| Great climb - I have to agree with Matthew about everything, especially the rockfall issue. While the rockfall wasn't as prevalent as on other climbs, it was virtually impossibly to stay out of the way of falling rock on the route.
I certainly underestimated how exposed and difficult the route is for being a class 3 - it was certainly one of my favorite climbs to date in the Sierras.

|A fun climb on a beautiful peak (dayhike from Agnew Meadows). This is the most sustained class 3 I've ever climbed. We had a couple of close shaves with rockfall--I'd recommend keeping group size small on this route.
I have to disagree with Bob's comments that the class 4 downclimb just before the summit has little exposure--it looked to us like the fall line was right down a very steep chute. I found it a bit spicy, anyway.

|Route Climbed: Southeast Face, IV, 5.8 Date Climbed: July 4th , 1986
|Robert Somoano and I climbed this trully great route in 1986. We found the routefinding a bit devious, but the route of high quality. We started a bit late, to allow space for another party in front of us (Bill Krause and a partner-small world, Bill). Because of that, we were late coming down the Ken-Clyde Couloir which we found to be hard snow at 7PM. We kept rapelling throughout the night as we only had rock shoes and cleaning tools for the snow. Epic. We started to run out of hardware to rap. Robert escaped disaster when single #5 RP failed on the last rappel and hurled him down into the shrund some 60 feet below. He landed on his pack and luckily, was uninjured. I though he was dead and only his yelling my name, brought me to the reality of his surviving the fall. One of the few times in the last 30 years that almost ended badly.
A year later, Miguel Carmona and a partner climbed the route and came back with most of my gear. Since Miguel knew I left it there, he was able to search the wall for it and found it. He actually brought me back most of it. What a friend!

Scheduled to roll onto more than 65 military installations across the United States to perform approximately 235 high-energy shows, the program focuses on the issue of military relocations, a common challenge facing today's military community as experienced through Katie, a 6-year-old girl who is beginning to feel the sadness and uncertainty of her father's newest base transfer.
"We couldn't have hoped for a better partner than Sesame Workshop or picked a better month to kick off our latest phase than April, the Month of the Military Child," said Sloan Gibson, USO President and CEO. "The USO has been supporting troops and their families for more than 71 years and this tour is a continuation of just that. With the help of friends like Elmo, Cookie Monster and Katie as well as happy songs, we are able to lift the spirits of our nation's military children like never before."
Sesame Workshop President and CEO Melvin Ming echoed Gibson's sentiments.
"The Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families is near and dear to the heart of Sesame Workshop, and we are thrilled to call the USO our partner on this adventure. Our goal is to reach as many military children and their families as we can with Elmo and Katie's messages of hope and resilience. And as we begin our sixth phase of this tour, we are proud to see the number of troops and their families reached by this effort only grow."
To assist in spreading the smiles that come with the Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families show, a team of skilled designers based in Orlando wrapped "The Sesame Street/USO Tour Bus" in hundreds of yards of vinyl to transform a normal bus into a souped-up machine worthy of the colorful characters that travel in it. (See the video.)
The Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families made its debut in July 2008 to help families deal with the challenges of deployment and homecomings. Since the tour's inception four years ago, the tour has taken its message to more than 248,000 troops and military families and performed 433 shows on 131 military bases in 33 states and eleven countries. The 2012 tour will run through November.

In Saudi culture, charity is a duty. It's part of everyone's life, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. And with the rising cost of living in the kingdom, more citizens are aware of the need to help one another. But not often do we find them approaching the subject with an activation worthy of global brands.
Recently, a Saudi citizen in the city of Hail placed a refrigerator in front of his house and encouraged residents of the area to donate leftover food to help the needy, sparing them the shame of asking for food. A Saudi cleric, Sheikh Mohammed al-Arefe, confirmed this in a tweet, saying: "I've always said the people of Hail are generous. A man puts a refrigerator in front of his house for leftover food; an indirect act of charity for the needy. Oh how I love you Hail!"
The tweet received an overwhelming response from al-Arefe's followers, who re-tweeted it more than 7,000 times. More people are now encouraging this idea with the month of Ramadan approaching.

SANDY SPRING, Md. (WUSA9) -- A recently revealed email chain between regional and state land use officials at the highest levels is being criticized by a Montgomery County Councilmember as "totally inappropriate."
"He went over the head of people who had made professional opinions and went to somebody at the highest level and said 'fix this for me'", said Councilmember Marc Elrich.
"That's not something you do in public. That's backroom," he said.
Elrich made his comments after reviewing newly revealed 2007 emails between the office of Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission general counsel Adrian Gardner and Richard Hall, the O'Malley administration's cabinet secretary in charge of the Maryland Department of Planning.
The emails were sent after landowners fighting to restore an historic right-of-way on a disputed road through a traditional African American enclave in Sandy Spring had won a critical victory. Landowner William Rounds had spent months convincing state officials to "correct" the official maps of the area to restore the road.
But the contact between high officials resulted in an order to reverse the correction in less than two hours.
M-NCPPC general counsel Adrian Gardner said he couldn't remember having a personal conversation with MDP Secretary Richard Hall, but he defended the high level contact between the agencies because the map correction threatened to upset pending lawsuits against the commission.
"It would have been inappropriate to not let the Maryland Department of Planning know about a pending lawsuit that involved their decisions," Gardner said. "I think the taxpayers expect us to work together which is precisely what we did."
Concilmember Elrich fired back: "You don't render decisions on whether roads exist or don't exist based on whether an agency wants you to protect them from people suing them over mistakes they made. Adrian shouldn't have made the call. But frankly, the agency should have told him to take a walk."
The disputed driveway historically known as 'Farm Road' was erased from official maps in 2000 after the M-NCPPC approved theplat for the nearby Dellabrooke subdivision. The result has been that mostly elderly landowners like Rounds cannot build or sell, because there is no legal right-of-way to access their properties.
Many landowners are the descendants of freed slaves who settled the area before the Civil War, and have had properties in their families for more than a century.
"It's a monumental injustice," said Steve Kanstoroom, the neighborhood activist who first exposed the emails by publishing them on his website savesandyspring.org.

The other day I was cleaning my dog kennels and I had some of the dogs out in the dog yard running around while I did it.
Siberian Huskies are not usually aggressive dogs, but are generally sweet and loving even with each other. But once in a while a fight will break out.
Now I know some pairs of dogs in my kennel that I can't put together on my sled team. They can't run side by side, because they will work against each other and then get into a fight over their habits.
But it always seems there are some dogs that don't like each other, no matter what I do. I have to be careful about who I put out in the dog yard together. Sometimes too, it seems while they are much like two year olds in their thinking, they have long memories as well.
So on that day, I had all the boys out, of which there are four. Two are a father son team, one is my oldest dog (I checked it out early in the season, and he did his last run recently because he can no longer keep up, so he is now retired at 14) and the other dog I purchased a few years ago from a musher in Wyoming. That Wyoming born dog (Dodge) is the biggest of the boys, and he is also the most aggressive.
Well over by the water trough in the kennel while I was shoveling I heard a commotion. Dodge was on top of Chubb (the father in the father son team) and was biting him. To make it worse Chubb's son (Rocko) was nipping at Dodges ears.
I ran out of the kennel I was cleaning to break up the fight.
When you own a lot of dogs there is something you learn very early in your canine training by the school of hard knocks. You never reach in and try to grab dogs when they are in a tiff, because inevitably you will get a painful bite. What you need to do is get something between them such as a large piece of plywood or a tool such as a large flat shovel. I happened to have one of the latter in my hand. I started to push my way in and with enough force that there was a break in the action and I was able to get the shovel between their two faces. I grabbed Dodge by the collar and picked him up and Chubb ran off. However Rocko kept biting Dodge in the rear end as I took the bigger dog to his kennel. It was a fight keeping them from getting into it.
Later I let Dodge out again and watched. Whatever the spark that started the fight, was apparently gone. Dodge and Chubb played like they were old friends. But I still had to keep an eye on them.
Anyway the jist of it is that when two dogs are fighting, it is good to have a big shovel to put in between them.
The same is true of people. Sometimes when they are fighting, they need some space between them to get back in balance. Unfortunately we can't use a big shovel for that as much as we would like to.
I think that is what our United States Congress needs. They need a guy with a big shovel standing over them so they can be directed to the right kennel and then allowed to cool off and think about what is best for the collective good, not just for their side of things.
The fact is, we the people are that big guy. We need to make our views heard, putting these people who represent us in place like the big shovel in my kennel does with the dogs.
When we are complacent and apathetic, and we don't watch what is going on in the yard, they will tear each other part creating a mess that will be costly and unsatisfying in every way.
I can't afford the vet bills a fight can cause in my kennel. We as a people can't afford a languishing government that we have had for many years either.
It's up to us to use our power of persuasion to stop this fighting and gridlock. I know compromise is a dirty word in some people's book, it is still the way things get done.
The only thing I regret is that the big shovel we have is not covered with doggy doo-doo. They might listen more that way.

Selenium Treatment in Autoimmune Thyroiditis (AIT)

- How to Read a Study Record
Selenium suppresses autoimmune destruction of thyrocytes and decreases titers of serum TPOAb in AIT patients. Older 4 clinical trials approved the efficacy of the daily dose of 200micg. It's believed that Se saturates the deficient stores of GPX so GPX saves the thyrocytes against to oxidative stresses. Although less than 70 micg/d is sufficient to maximize GPX activity, none of the authors tested the doses less than 200 micg/d. Our hypothesis was that If 100 micg/d can not suppress the TPOAb titers,it means autoimmune destruction can not be blocked by saturation of deficient stores of GPX solely and the mechanism of action requires more than repletion of deficient stores. It's important not only to estimate the optimal dose but to understand the mechanism of action. High dose therapy may also suppress TPOAb levels in Se-non-deficient AIT patients, if it is so, Se therapy may becomes the solely treatment modality which can suppress the autoimmunity in more than 400 million AIT patients. Because there've been no way to suppress autoimmune war and replacement of LT4 had been the only treatment modality for palliation. An other independent part of the study is to test the effect of Se in adolescent AIT patients.

eRA Alert: RPPR Errantly Made Available for Non-SNAP Eligible Awards
Wednesday, April 24, 2013
Due to a technical issue, eRA Commons is currently allowing for the initiation of a Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) for non-SNAP awards. Per Guide Notice NOT-OD-13-035, the RPPR process can only be used for SNAP and Fellowship awards. We are working to have this issue corrected before Friday, May 3, 2013.
Please do NOT initiate RPPRs for non-SNAP grants.
RPPR currently only supports streamlined progress reports for Streamlined Noncompeting Award Process (SNAP) and Fellowship awards, as it lacks the functionality to provide detailed budgets. As such, the RPPR is not currently an acceptable format for a progress report for non-SNAP awards.
Submit your non-SNAP progress report using the standard paper process as described in the instruction guide for Non-Competing Continuation Progress Report PHS 2590 (Revised 08/2012).
If you inadvertently initiate an RPPR for a non-SNAP award, please revert back to the standard paper process and contact Scarlett Gibb at firstname.lastname@example.com so that the electronic report can be deleted from the database. Please provide all relevant information about the grant in question (grant number, organization/institution, PI Commons account name, etc.) to Scarlett.
We are sorry for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to correct the error.

Recap: Gordie Clark and Jeff Gorton Draft Chat
Last night, Rangers Director of Player Personnel Gordie Clark and assistant Director of Player Personnel Jeff Gorton held a live video chat at Blueshirts United.
Click here to watch the 50 minute video.
Here is a recap of the main points of the chat:
- Clark says that the team trusts it's scouts and they have done plenty of mock drafts to see where certain players could be drafted.
- He follows that by saying that there are seven or eight guys that everyone will have at the top of the board and make impacts at their position when they come into the league. He says that as you go down the list, there are still players that will play in the top six and be top four defenseman.
- Gorton says that the Rangers have a few guys in mind to pick at 15. They say that it's different from last year where they felt confident Dylan McIlrath would be there.
- On Tim Erixon, Clark says that he was right after Chris Kreider on the Rangers draft board in 2009. Kreider was taken because of his explosive speed and natural scoring ability. Clark says that he had Glen Sather call Calgary twice to ask if they were going to sign Erixon. Clark called him an "elite defenseman."
- Gorton says that getting Erixon is like getting another first round pick. He says that the second round isn't as deep as it was in the past and felt good enough to send both second round picks to get Erixon.
- Clark says that they have done mock drafts where the player the Rangers wanted was taken and they traded down to take another player and get another pick. He says that the Rangers probably have four plans and should have an indication around pick 10 on what will happen.
- Gorton says that the Rangers are still looking for a number one center and mentions Derek Stepan as someone who may be able to grow into that role. He says that it's shortsighted to say that they will take a center just because they need a center. He says that if there is a tie between a center and a defenseman, the team would likely take a center because of the depth they have built on defense.
- Clark says that size is always appealing when looking at players. Clark says that the most important quality in a player is "hockey sense." He says that hockey sense is the number one thing that you need to be able to have to play in the NHL.
- On character, Gorton says that "it's everything" and that the young players in the organization are character players. Gorton called Rocco Grimaldi a "little warrior" and someone who has a lot of character.
- On Mark McNeill, Clark says that he was on a very average team and took the team on his back and towards the playoffs. Clark says that he won eight faceoffs in a row in a game that they saw and tested very well at the combine.
- If a defenseman is "that far ahead" of the next player on the board, the Rangers will take the defenseman. Gorton says that getting a forward is something that they need to do, but they can't let a player that they have so highly ranked pass them by.
- On Mikhail Pashnin, he will come over to the Rangers development camp and "it's a good bet" that he will be signed. Clark says that Pashnin's game will play much better in the NHL than the KHL.
- "You can never have enough quality defenseman."
- Gorton says that this is a big year for the Rangers to move forward in their development. He says that they will look at everything, short-term and long-term, in trying to get better.
- On playoff experience, Clark says that it's something that the young players needed to have.
- On Carl Hagelin, Gorton says that he got better with each game that he played in the AHL. He has good speed and the team is very high on him
- Gorton says that the Rangers are aware of the 'Russian factor" but they take the right player for them.
- On Evgeny Grachev, Clark says that if he could go back, he would have left Grachev in Brampton for his last year in junior. He thinks that Grachev will challenge for a spot with the Rangers this season.
- The Rangers don't have a bias against the QMJHL. Gorton says that it's a coincidence that the team hasn't taken a Quebec player but they have no problems with it. Clark says that he would love to draft Jonathan Huberdeau or Sean Couturier. He also says that there are fewer players and fewer teams in the Q and that has an impact on it.
- Clark says that the combine is the last chance to talk with prospects and that the team already has an indication on whether they want to take a player before they get to the combine.
- Gorton says that the team will look at goalies if they think one will project out to be a starter or backup at the NHL. He says that they like Scott Stajcer even though he has dealt with injuries. If there is good value they will take a goalie.
- On Jason Missiaen, the Rangers scouts kept looking at him and seeing him progress and get better and they decided to sign him.
- Clark says that it would cost the Rangers Henrik Lundqvist to move up to take a player like Gabriel Landeskong
- Gorton says that the acquisition of Oscar Lindberg made it easier to trade a player like Roman Horak.
- On Kreider, Clark says that Chris Kreider is ready to turn pro, but that players don't leave college unless they are sure. He says that Derek Stepan was 100% ready to turn pro when he left Wisconsin. Clark says that Kreider is fast tracking himself this summer and will be ready to concentrate on his pro career next summer.

On a recent visit to one of our homes away from home (the Beverly Drive newsstand), we got a bit of a shock whilst browsing magazines. Startled-albeit pleasantly so-by i-D magazine's sexy August cover, we pulled it out and realized the featured female was Daisy Lowe. This amused us greatly, as we'd been saving pictures of Lowe for a future story on her personal style, and here she was nearly nude! Topless Terry Richardson covers aside, we like the playful way this Brit beauty puts herself together and offer her up as our Girl Of The Month.
First, we'll give you a little background on Miss Lowe for those readers who don't recognize her face. Her parents are Pearl Lowe, (designer and former singer-songwriter of indie band Powder) and Gavin Rossdale (of Bush-the band not the president-and husband to Gwen Stefani), although Daisy was raised by Danny Goffey (Supergrass drummer) and thought he was her father until a few years ago. Thanks to her gorgeous face and height, Daisy's a model and has appeared in Italian Vogue, W, and Jane (may it rest in peace). She's also been in Agent Provocateur and French Connection campaigns, the former featured her at the tender age of 15. If reports are to be believed, Lowe's rather spunky as well. Earlier this year she told a British paper that not only had she been dumped by a fashion house for being too heavy to model but that she refused to lose weight as well. Good for her.
Lowe shows that feisty spirit in the way she dresses too. While usually spotted in heels (like her favored Miu Miu pink Vernice Chic Mary Janes), she also often wears ratty Chucks with bright green laces. She's fond of bright hues as well, as she shakes up basic black with a jolt of royal blue or a color-blocked skirt for a jaunt around New York with fellow musician's daughter, Liv Tyler.

Nexam, BASF establish partnership for cross-linkable nylon-6,6 compound commercialization
February 12, 2014 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Nexam (Lund, Sweden) and BASF have developed a cross-linkable nylon-6,6 and agreed to initiate the commercialization phase for the compound, Nexam announced. Nexam has awarded BASF market exclusivity for approximately two years for the compound, which consists of nylon-6,6 and Nexam's cross-linker. BASF says it is one of the market leaders in nylon-6,6 production. "The exclusivity is conditioned upon certain annual minimum purchases of Nexam's crosslinker by BASF," the company says.

CANTON Roughly 50 vendors from the Canton Flea Market gathered Monday outside the store looking for answers from the University Plazas new owner.
David C. Muraco, president of Empire Property Management, DeWitt, traveled from Syracuse to meet with vendors about the future of the flea market.
The market, which houses about 100 vendor booths, is in limbo because operator Frank E. Monnett is being evicted from the space for putting a stop-payment order on his July rent check to Mr. Muraco.
Mr. Muraco advised the vendors to select a leader who could replace Mr. Monnett in running the flea market, at least temporarily, so that the market can continue after Aug. 3, when the eviction takes effect.
Were going to have to reorganize here, he told the group gathered outside the store at noontime. Someone has to come up with a plan, a good plan. Basically, you need to get together as a group and choose a leader.
Mr. Monnett entered the store while the meeting was taking place, but kept the doors locked and refused to allow vendors inside to remove their inventory. The store has been closed to customers since Friday, although over the weekend some vendors set up shop on the sidewalk to sell their goods. A pile of books, dishes and other items sat outside the store on Monday with a free sign attached.
Mr. Monnett said that over the weekend vendors stole soda that was in a cooler and he doesnt want to let them in the store until he removes all of his belongings, including items in his own vendor booths.
Asked by a vendor if would unlock the doors, Mr. Monnett responded: I cant deal with that today. Im trying to get all my stuff out so he (Mr. Muraco) can take possession.
Domita L. Hogle, a vendor formerly of Colton, said it was unfair for Mr. Monnett to keep vendors from their merchandise.
He screwed us out of thousands of dollars and hes worried about his soda? she said.
Several of the vendors said they want to keep their booths in the Route 11 plaza because they were doing well with a strong customer base. But uncertainty over the flea markets future has prompted many others to haul away their merchandise since Thursday evening, when Mr. Monnett informed them he was being evicted. He also told them he could not pay their July commissions.
Mr. Muraco told vendors he needs to reduce the market space from 40,000 to 30,000 square feet and therefore will reduce the monthly rent from $5,000 to $3,750. Vendors also would be responsible for paying for utilities and insurance.
Although he guaranteed them space through Jan. 1, Mr. Muraco said the space could be reduced if he finds other tenants for the plaza.
Save-A-Lot, a grocery store chain operated by Jeffrey Proulx, a Canton native, may rent space in the plaza, Mr. Muraco told vendors.
The new owner said he also plans to spend $125,000 to install a new roof on the leaky section of the flea market store and an additional $100,000 to repave the plazas parking lot. New Venture Assets LLC, Dewitt, also owned by Mr. Muraco, bought the plaza in June for $2.1 million.
Dennis W. Kelly and his wife, Susette M. Kelly, Canton, operate Grandmas Kids, which offers used clothing and toys for children.
Mr. Kelly agreed to lead the vendors and work with Mr. Muraco as they figure out their next steps.
We just have to get enough people to pay the bills so we can go as long as we can, Mr. Kelly said. Its better than leaving the place vacant.
Vendors have been paying Mr. Monnett $150 a month to rent a 150 square-foot booth plus paying him 7.5 percent of their monthly sales. Some vendors rent several booth spaces because they have more merchandise to display.
Denise M. Hess, a vendor from Canton, wants to remain in the flea market and hopes other vendors will join her in sticking together.
This plaza was dead before the flea market, Ms. Hess said. We have regular customers who are saying please keep it open. Without all this drama, people loved being here, the customers and the vendors.
John A. Barksdale, Hermon, rents two booths to display his antique toys. He also wants to stay in the plaza.
If we all can put our minds together and work as a team, we can make this operate, Mr. Barksdale said.

Microsoft Tag is helping get residents in the State of Florida ready to vote in time for the 2012 election. The League of Women Voters of Florida and the Supervisors of Elections from various Florida counties announced on Wednesday a major new strategy to reach voters that employs Tag.
The "Be Ready to Vote" campaign connects Florida citizens to their county Supervisor of Elections office via Tag to ensure their voter registration information is current and complete. The League and Microsoft are offering the program on a voluntary basis to any interested supervisor. Most participating Supervisors of Elections now have their own Tag to print or display on mailed materials, vehicles or wherever else they want to get out the message.
"With three elections on the calendar for 2012, Florida's 67 Supervisors of Elections encourage all voters to update their voter record, particularly address and name changes," said Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles. "This technology makes it easier for everyone to be ready to vote."
Various counties' Tags were previewed at the press conference, which when scanned by a smartphone using the Tag app, connect the user to the county's Supervisor of Elections office. Voters can make sure that their voter record is complete and up-to-date. In addition, a Tag from the League of Women Voters of Florida connects to a mobile site built by Microsoft, where voters can enter their county of residence and see a menu of options to connect to their local Supervisor of Elections—either by phone, email or in person.
"In order for our government to work successfully, citizens need to exercise their right to vote," said Deirdre Macnab, president of the League of Women Voters of Florida. "By helping every Florida voter to 'Be Ready to Vote,' we will help ensure a strong turnout of prepared and active voters."
Thanks to Tag, Floridians will be ready to rock the vote.

Who is Cory Mazzoni? A break-out prospect
In a report for ESPN.com, BP's minor league reporter Kevin Goldstein lists 22-year-old Mets RHP Cory Mazzoni among 10 breakout prospects for 2012.
The Mets selected Mazzoni with the 71st overall pick in the second round of last year's draft out of North Carolina State University. He then appeared in 12 games for St. Lucie and Brooklyn, during which he was 2-1 with a 1.38 ERA while striking out 18 batters and walking 3 in 13 innings pitched.
In his report, Goldstein writes of Mazzoni:
[jbox color="gray"]"Those numbers came in short stints after a heavy college workload, and he'll return to starting in 2012, equipped with a fastball and slider that both rate as above average. His early success has some tempted to see if he could move quickly as a reliever, but for now, that's a backup plan."[/jbox]
In late December, MinorLeagueBall.com's John Sickels ranked Mazzoni as the team's 10th best prospect giving him a C+ grade.

Sac State upsets Oregon State 29-28 in overtime
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - Oregon State coach Mike Riley shrugged when asked whether Saturday's overtime loss to Sacramento State was one of the worst of his career with the Beavers.
"I don't know," he said. "I don't feel like ranking them today."
The Beavers were stunned at home in their opener Saturday by the Big Sky's Hornets, who went for two points after a touchdown in OT for the final 29-28 edge. Oregon State had not lost a home opener since 2001.
The game-winning touchdown capped a crazy game that saw the Beavers fall behind early, then rally behind true freshman running back Malcolm Agnew to send the game to overtime.
Agnew, who emerged as the heir apparent to departed Oregon State running back Jacquizz Rodgers, ran for 223 yards and three touchdowns. He is the first true freshman to start the position in Oregon State history. His rushing yards were the ninth-highest in a single game for Oregon State.
"I feel like I had a good game," said Agnew, son of 11-year NFL veteran Ray Agnew. "It just wasn't good enough. We didn't win."
With the game tied at 21 at the end of regulation, Agnew put the Beavers ahead with a 17-yeard touchdown run. But Sac State quarterback Jeff Fleming countered with a 4-yard scoring pass to Brandyn Reed and followed with the conversion to win it, sending all of the Hornets onto the field in celebration.
Sac State, which went 6-5 last season in the Big Sky, had never defeated a team from the upper division Pac-10, now the Pac-12 with the addition of Colorado and Utah this season. Last season the Hornets fell 52-17 in its opener against Stanford.
Fleming completed 22 of 35 passes for 257 yards and three scores for Sac State, which before Saturday was 0-10 against upper division opponents since 2002. Chase Daedder caught six passes for 61 yards and two scores.
"It means a lot," Reed said about the win. "We put in so much work, and we've been preaching it all spring and summer. There's so much determination and opportunities to take advantage of, and this was one of them."
Agnew's 4-yard scoring run with 8:08 left in regulation tied it. On the Hornets' ensuing drive, Oregon State's Sean Martin recovered a fumble that gave the ball back to the Beavers.
But the Hornets returned the favor on Oregon State's possession when free safety Joe Larche returned a fumble 58 yards to the Oregon State 28. Sac State got to the 11-yard line but Jason Diniz's flubbed field goal was blocked and the ball went back to the Beavers with just over two minutes left.
Oregon State marched downfield, but the drive ended when true freshman Kevin Romaine's 27-yard field goal hit the right upright to send the game into OT.
Because of injuries and attrition, the Beavers played seven true freshmen in the game, most ever since 1997, when they played seven true frosh for the entire season.
Romaine hit his first career field goal, a 29-yarder, in the first quarter to give the Beavers an early 3-0 lead. But the Hornets answered with a scoring drive that ended when Fleming hit Deadder with a 19-yeard scoring pass to make it 7-3.
Sacramento State extended the lead to 14-3 with 2:39 left in the first half when Fleming found Daedder in the end zone again with a 4-yard pass.
There were boos at Reser Stadium when the teams left the field for halftime.
Oregon quarterback Ryan Katz did not start the second half after completing 11 of 22 passes for 87 yards. He was intercepted once and sacked twice. He was replaced by redshirt freshman Sean Mannion.
Katz, who had surgery in the offseason after breaking a bone in his wrist in the season finale against rival Oregon, did not appear to be injured. He was standing on the sideline to start the second half with his helmet on.
Afterward, coach Riley said the switch was pre-planned.
"We were going to get him (Mannion) into the game at some point. We were going to do it in the second quarter, but we thought we better stay with Ryan Katz, try to get something going," Riley said.
Mannion completed 12 passes for 143 yards.
Romaine hit a 45-yard field goal to narrow it for the Beavers early in the third quarter. But the defense couldn't seem to figure out the Hornets and Sacramento State scored again on wide receiver Morris Norrise's 39-yard pass to Reed.
Agnew's 1-yard run made it 21-13 with 12:44 left in the game.
Riley ticked off the mistakes in the game and said it all snowballed.
"All those things, you start pressing, you get nervous. And that's what we did," he said.
The Beavers were hobbled going into the game. Most notable among the absences was senior flanker James Rodgers, known for his proficiency in pulling off Oregon State's trademark fly sweep, who is rehabbing from two knee surgeries.
Tight end Joe Halahuni and cornerback Brandon Hardin both had shoulder injuries and weren't available. Also out was defensive tackle Kevin Frahm (knee). Defensive tackle Dominic Glover was still awaiting word on his academic eligibility, but looked doubtful for the opener.
The Beavers were also adjusting after the departure of prolific running back Jacquizz Rodgers, who left Oregon State a year early to go to the NFL. He now plays for the Atlanta Falcons.
In contrast to the Beavers, the Hornets entered the season mostly injury-free. Fleming had surgery on his throwing elbow after last season, but certainly appeared fully recovered.
The two teams had met once before, in the 2003 opener, which the Beavers won 40-7.

• Sean Martin forced and recovered his first career fumble in the fourth quarter.
Head Coach Mike Riley
On the quarterback situation...
"We had planned to play Sean Mannion. We were going to get him into the game at some point. We were going to do it in the second quarter, but we thought we better stay with Ryan Katz, try to get something going. It's something we've been talking about for at least a week. We thought it would be very important for our team and for Sean to play some."
On the game overall...
"The team is very, very disappointed not winning the game, and that's what we have to live with. Tomorrow, we have to go on to the next game. We'll take some things away from this game, like Malcolm Agnew rushing for this yardage. We can then build on this and carry over to the next game. But the ultimate thing right now is we lost the game, and so we'll digest that and look at ways not to do that again, and then enhance some of the good things we were able to do."
On the strong offensive line performance in the second half...
"I think that's something we can build on. They got some confidence, so we made running plays, the quarterback made timely passes, and we came from way out of our own end and moved the ball. All of those things are really positive. It's going to be a hard loss to live with, but we have to go on."
Head Coach Marshall Sperbeck
On going for the two-point conversion during overtime…
"We knew we had to. We got to that point and we were gassed. We just figured we had a 50-50 chance and we went for it and got the win."
On this being possibly the biggest win in the program's history…
"I would say if it is not the biggest win in the program's history, it's up there. As far as my tenure, it's definitely the biggest win."
On losing momentum on the fumble…
"We did lose momentum a little bit after the fumble, but we did bounce back and our defense kept us in it. It takes both sides to win. Fortunately the defense kept it in check."
Junior Quarterback Jeff Fleming
On Oregon State's improved offense in the second half…
"They had the momentum in their favor. They were really starting to find a feel and were able to drive the ball down the field. Even though they missed the field goal, they were really driving the ball."
On decision to go for the game winning two-point conversion…
"We were considering it. We didn't really know for sure about it. I walked over there to the coaches and had a good feeling. My teammates and coaches were discussing it and I finally just said, 'coach, let's go, let's get this done now.' Luckily it worked out. We decided we came all the way up here, we battled so hard, we figured let's just go for the gusto. We thought we had a good matchup on the left side so I laid it up and it worked out."
On the post-game celebration in the locker room…
"We were singing our fight song for our school pride and for all of our fans. We had a break on our coach Brooks. He was our strength and conditioning coach that passed away during the offseason. He really had a big effect on all of us so we made sure to give this one to him."
On the win for the program…
"This was just another game for us. It was back and forth and in the end we believed in ourselves and executed. There was no doubt in any of our minds that we could do it."
Senior Wide Receiver Brandyn Reed
On the meaning of the win for the program…
"It's a win. I want to say it's like every win, but this is a big one. This is just the beginning of great things. We believe in each other and that's one thing that we preach. We deserve it."
On the decision to go for the game winning two-point conversion…
"That was all the coaches' call. I came off the sideline ready for a field goal, hoping that we would get it up this time so they didn't block it. Coach made the call and I looked at Jeff Fleming, he looked at me, I just had to go and make a play."

CANTON After serving less than three years as minister, the Rev. David S. Blanchard has resigned from the Unitarian Universalist Church.
The resignation was effective April 6.
It was his decision to resign, Church Council President Charlotte C. Ramsay said. He felt his vision for the church and his understanding of ministry did not mesh with the congregation. Theres a lot of sadness and regret that we didnt match up better.
The Rev. Mr. Blanchard had served as minister since Aug. 1, 2010, following predecessors K. Anne Marsh and Wade T. Wheelock, who retired in 2009 after 16 years. They had followed the Rev. Max A. Coots, who was the churchs minister for 34 years.
As a graduate of St. Lawrence University, the Rev. Mr. Blanchard was familiar with the Canton community before beginning his role.
With the assistance of the Unitarian Universalist Association, Ms. Ramsay said, her Church Council is seeking an accredited interim minister who would serve for two years.
A list of eight candidates was identified and one of those will be offered the interim job at noon Friday, Ms. Ramsay said.
Accredited interim ministers have experience helping congregations as they search for a permanent minister, she said.
The interim also will help identify issues within the congregation that need to be addressed to make the church healthier and stronger, Ms. Ramsay said.
The 200-member congregation has two ordained ministers, but neither has the interim accreditation that the Church Council is seeking, she said.
In the meantime, various guest speakers have addressed the congregation at Sunday services, which is a common tradition at the Unitarian Church.
Despite the situation, Ms. Ramsay said, positive things are in store for the church.
At the same time we feel sadness, we foresee some very good things in store for the church, she said.
We feel we have a very strong and vibrant congregation.

There is no doubt that Governor-elect Susana Martinez faces a difficult
task. Not only does she have to put together an administration to operate (and hopefully improve) New Mexico's sprawling government, she now faces a $450 million deficit that must be dealt with in the next legislative
Making the situation even more difficult is the fact that Martinez, during the campaign, seemingly
removed 60 percent of New Mexico's budget from belt-tightening. Of course, that was based on
"only" a $260 million deficit and, given the recent budget news, it might be possible for Martinez to
find some cost savings in K-12 without making them obvious "cuts."
Regardless of this, we at the Rio Grande Foundation have put together a list of potential spending cuts that works from
the assumption that K-12 and Medicaid are indeed "off the table."
We also assume that simply "cutting administration" and "reducing waste" will not get the
job done. The fact is that tough decisions need to be made. These are tough decisions that have been
put off for years by a combination of irresponsible leadership and so-called "stimulus" money which
has dumped the tough decisions onto the new governor.

CANTON Drivers heading through the village will have to exercise a bit more patience this summer.
Beginning about July 1, the stretch of Route 11 from Stiles Avenue to Park Place is expected to be closed for six weeks while crews from CSX reconfigure the railroad crossing near Jay Street.
Traffic will be detoured off Main Street to Route 310, State Street and Riverside Drive.
State Department of Transportation spokesman Michael R. Flick said provisions will be made for local traffic to access the downtown business district and local streets, but the detour will be mandatory for most drivers.
Theres not going to be a choice whether people use the detour or not, Mr. Flick said. In many ways, there should be less problems than we had last year.
The work is part of the $9.5 million Main Street reconstruction project launched last year by DOT. This seasons work is the second and last phase of the project.
Thomas A. Maroun, DOT project engineer, said Wednesday he hasnt been able to finalize a definite start date with CSX officials, but he believes it will be on or close to July 1.
Our message boards will be up telling everyone to use the detour at that point, he said.
Jay Street also will be closed once the rail crossing work begins. The project includes converting Jay Street into a cul-de-sac.
Crews from Angelica Boring Co. Inc., Pittsford, a subcontractor, are installing borings underneath the railroad tracks.
Workers soon will start installing the borings for new water and sewer lines near the intersection of Harrison and Main streets, a process that requires digging down about 18 feet.
Last summer, the DOT work focused on the downtown business section. Traffic was sometimes backed up for miles, which prompted a few heated exchanges between disgruntled motorists and road crew workers assigned to direct traffic.
