HEUVELTON Two pets perished in a Tuesday morning fire that destroyed a modular home on County Route 4 and left a family of seven homeless.
The 10 a.m. blaze destroyed the 28-by-78 foot double wide dwelling at 628 Route 4 in Heuvelton, St. Lawrence County Fire Investigator Gerald H. Mack said. While the fire remained under investigation Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Mack said evidence pointed toward an accidental cause. Two children and two adults were home at the time of the fire, Mr. Mack said.
There were no injuries, but a dog and a cat were killed, he said.
The home, owned by Tim Simmons, was a total loss, county sheriffs deputies said, although it was insured. Heuvelton firefighters responded to the fire, aided by crews from Morristown and Lisbon, with firefighters from Waddington, Brier Hill and Rensselaer Falls on standby.
Kelly E. Hecker, Red Cross of Northern New Yorks emergency services manager, said her agency was providing immediate assistance to the family. Anyone who is interested in providing additional assistance to the family may contact the agencys Watertown office at 782-4410, Ms. Hecker said.

By Dr. William J. Keller with Darlyn Britt
What is Thermogenesis?
A lot of people define this as fat burning, which is a pretty apt description. But let's take it a step further. Thermogenesis is the generation of heat in the mitochondria (the cell's energy factory) due to an uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation.
That's a mouthful, right?
So, what does this really mean?
Let's explain it in this graphic and the text below:

When food is metabolized in your body, a lot of electrons are produced. As these electrons are processed in the mitochondria, the energy liberated is trapped to form ATP — the cell's energy currency.
Normally electron processing and ATP formation are coupled, and the ATP produced provides needed cellular energy. When uncoupling occurs, very little ATP is formed. Most of the energy is released as heat.
Free fatty acids from fat cells activate uncoupling and the thermogenic mechanism. Lipolysis, or the breakdown of fat, liberates free fatty acids (hence the name fat burning). The fat disappears and a lot of heat is produced.
The following natural components of MetaboMax Plus combine to synergistically affect lipolysis, which gives the free fatty acids that spark thermogenesis.
The other ingredients act together to cause lipolysis and weight loss.
From this we understand that the free fatty acids from lipolysis stimulate uncoupling. This uncoupling results in thermogenesis. So, fat breaks down, the fatty acids cause uncoupling, and foods are oxidized to give only heat, which is dissipated and not used by the body as an energy source. Remember, this process continues at a fairly fast rate as long as the ATP levels are low.
Additional MetaboMax ingredients benefit weight loss by different mechanisms.
A solid weight loss program should also include a sensible diet and a reasonable exercise program. And of course, determination is a key component.

Shaping a new EU space policy Julkaistu: 19/05/2011, Viimeisin päivitys: 23/09/2015

While some may consider space to be a luxury that Europe cannot afford during a time of austerity, nothing could be further from the truth. Improving the safety and daily lives of European citizens thanks to radio navigation, guiding tractors by satellite for high-yield crops, optimising responses to humanitarian crisis. This is not science fiction but just a few examples of innovations related to space technologies developed today. Many thousands of highly skilled jobs rely on the sector, which is working to make people's lives easier and safer, and European industry as a whole more competitive. To ensure continued success, the European Commission is developing an integrated space policy that will strengthen Europe's space infrastructure.

Comments about Orange County Drum & Percussion Avalon Tom Drum:
I purchased one of these drums to fill out my Avalon Kit. I noticed a few things with the drum when I got it. The drum was poorly wrapped - the wrap overlapped leaving a visible seam as well the colour of the finish is slightly lighter than the finish on the kit. There is only 1 air vent to the original kits 2. The drum sounds good, but does not look the same as the original kit. If looks don't bother you, it's a good sounding drum. But for the price tag it should be flawless.
Comments about Orange County Drum & Percussion Avalon Tom Drum:
The Avalon maple series sound fantastic and are fairly durable on the road. No problems with hardware breaking at all. However, there are some things worth mentioning about these add on toms- they only have one air vent compared to two in the Avalon 6 piece shell pack, and the workmanship is not as good. I mean, how hard would it be to hold a block of wood against the inside of the shell when you drill the lug holes to prevent splintering... come on guys, that's not the OC I have come to appreciate.

These are human beings goddamnit, their lives have value!
I'm most likely preaching to the choir and hope the my voice can add to the thousands literally starving for change here in the first world of the United States, and push the issue of labor rights just a bit further. Lets take a look at today's Huffington Post Black Friday reports. Seriously go take a look I'll wait… … … … So are you mad or disgusted yet? I hope so. There is a time for anger, righteous anger. That time is now.
Personally I have seen both sides. I worked those way before pre-dawn hours at a big box store for many years. And been a witness to appalling customer behavior, intentional stock shortages and staff pushed beyond levels of decency by management. It would easy to point the blame at retailers like Wal-Mart and say. "You're an evil corporation that is ruining people's lives and depriving your employees of a decent standard of living." And why this is generally true. It's much harder to stand in front of that dressing room mirror and say "My unconscious consumption is ruining people's lives and depriving people around the world including Americans a decent standard of living."
If Americans were more conscious about where and how their money was spent the tide of violence and aggression that has become the day after Thanksgiving could then and only then be stemmed. Private corporations are more democratic than we give them credit for. Your wallet casts a vote every time you exchange currency for goods and the cash register is the ballot box. Every time you purchase a product from a retailer or manufacturer that mistreats its employees you are showing your explicit approval of that companies practices and give them the incentive and capital to not only continue but to expand their immoral practices.
I know its hard not to do this. Most of us work shit jobs that pay shit wages so in return the only places we can shop are places that treat people like shit. It's a circle that is quickly destroying our nations middle class. I don't have all the answers on how to break this cycle but I know where we can start. Buy less things for a start. By doing this you can save money. So when it is time to make that purchase of something you need you can spend the extra money to buy something of quality and if possible buy something made in America. We didnt get to this sorry state overnight so it's going to take time to get us out of it. The only ones with the power to fix this is us, the consumer. The American worker and our very way of life is depending on us.
Look, I'm no hermit. To quote the Dennis Leary song Asshole "I like football and porno and books about war" I like fatty foods and I don't drive a hybrid and I don't buy organic. Everyone has their cross to bear. Mine is video games. It's hard for me to not pull the trigger on the newest murder simulator released every other week. But I have gotten to the point that before I buy that new game I'll take a look at my shelf and on my computer hard drive and see all the games that have that have gone unfinished and come to the realization that whatever new virtual world that a company is pushing on me at the time is not going to enhance my experience in my actual physical reality. I imagine it's like kicking an addiction. I still have the trigger to buy new games but I don't follow through. Your burden might be shoes, clothes or electronics. But make no mistake by consuming these cheap poorly made goods you are consuming the very heart and soul of America.
Before you buy slow down. Think, "Do I need this?" and "what is the real cost of this item in human capital. Am I contributing to suffering or contributing to a living for another human being or a fellow American?"If you do what you know is right with your hard-earned dollars then you will change your life and others for the better.

What is Nutrition?
Healthy Eating
Eating in the Dining Halls
Serving Size Comparison
The definition of nutrition literally means "the act or process of nourishing or being nourished". It is the major part of the process in which your body uses what you eat to build muscle, give you energy and keep you focused. The major nutrients are protein, carbohydrates and fat. Each plays an important role in your body and it is important to include them all daily.
Keep your plate 50% vegetables, 25% protein and 25% starch (such as pasta, potato, or rice). This way, you know you are working towards getting your daily vegetable needs.
Eat Some Foods Less Often. Cut back on foods high in solid fats, added sugars, and salt. They include cakes, cookies, ice cream, candies, sweetened drinks, pizza, and fatty meats like ribs, sausages, bacon, and hot dogs. Use these foods as occasional treats, not everyday foods; and when you do eat them, be mindful of your portions.
Eat Some Foods More Often. Choose foods that have more nutrients for the calories they provide more often, like vegetables and fruits. You can't go wrong if you make half your plate fruits and vegetables. Try some no-salt seasonings to add zest to veggies and enjoy the natural sweetness of fruits.
Drink Water. Soda, energy drinks, and sugar-sweetened coffee drinks and sports drinks are a major source of added sugar and calories in American diets. Have a water bottle with you throughout the day as a reminder and don't wait until you're thirsty to have water. Utilize the water fountains across campus for free refills.
For breakfast, aim to get a good mix of fat, carbohydrate and protein to get a good start to your day. A combination of all three will keep you fuller longer and give you energy to last until lunch time. Try eggs with wheat toast and fruit or oatmeal with low fat milk or soy milk and nuts.
Lunch doesn't have to be pizza every day (although it is okay to eat pizza - just not all the time!). Make use of the salad bar or deli sandwich counter but be sure to use dressings, cheeses and condiments, such as mayonnaise, sparingly. Combine a green salad with chicken from the grill or add extra vegetables from the salad bar on top of your pizza.
Dinner is usually when there are the most options available. Be choosy! You don't have to try a little bit of everything and chances are you will see the item on the menu again.
Use a Smaller Plate. Use smaller plates to help with portion control. By avoiding oversized bowls, glasses, plates, and mugs, you're better able to avoid oversized portions and therefore avoid excess calories. This is a great trick for the all-you-can-eat dining hall! Remember, you can always go back if you are still hungry.
Head to Class Prepared. Remember to pack healthy snacks when you head to class. This will help you avoid vending machine pitfalls.
Walk around and look at all of the options available that day before deciding on your meal.
Desserts are always available, but that doesn't mean they have to be eaten nightly. If you must have dessert, choose options like a cookie or a small scoop of ice cream.
Check the dining services website for the daily fare.

How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalizationby Franklin Foer
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Soccer is much more than a game, or even a way of life. It is a perfect window into the cross-currents of today's world, with all its joys and its sorrows. In this remarkably insightful, wide-ranging work of reportage, Franklin Foer takes us on a surprising tour through the world of soccer, shining a spotlight on the clash of civilizations, the international economy, and just about everything in between. How Soccer Explains the World is an utterly original book that makes sense of our troubled times.
"Foer, a New Republic editor, scores a game-winning goal with this analysis of the interchange between soccer and the new global economy. The subtitle is a bit misleading, though: he doesn't really use soccer to develop a theory; instead, he focuses on how examining soccer in different countries allows us to understand how international forces affect politics and life around the globe. The book is full of colorful reporting, strong characters and insightful analysis: In one of the most compelling chapters, Foer shows how a soccer thug in Serbia helped to organize troops who committed atrocities in the Balkan War — by the end of the war, the thug's men, with the acquiescence of Serbian leaders, had killed at least 2,000 Croats and Bosnians. Then he bought his own soccer club and, before he was gunned down in 2000, intimidated other teams into losing. Most of the stories aren't as gruesome, but they're equally fascinating. The crude hatred, racism and anti-Semitism on display in many soccer stadiums is simply amazing, and Foer offers context for them, including how current economic conditions are affecting these manifestations. In Scotland, the management of some teams have kept religious hatreds alive in order to sell tickets and team merchandise. But Foer, a diehard soccer enthusiast, is no anti-globalist. In Iran, for example, he depicts how soccer works as a modernizing force: thousands of women forced police to allow them into a men's-only stadium to celebrate the national team's triumph in an international match. One doesn't have to be a soccer fan to truly appreciate this absorbing book. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[A] wonderfully conceived treatise....Perfectly timed to coincide with soccer's growing coolness...this excellent book belongs with two other great soccer-outsider inquiries, Bill Buford's Among the Thugs and Joe McGinniss' The Miracle of Castel di Sangro." Booklist
"A novel look at how the world is everywhere becoming more alike, and everywhere more different, as people seek to define themselves through football....[T]he author is unfailingly interesting. Lively and provocative." Kirkus Reviews
"Foer's book is such an eccentric, fascinating exposé of a world most of us know nothing about that his inability to prove his central thesis seems almost irrelevant." Joe Queenan, The New York Times Book Review
"A lively travelogue....
"Foer's ambition to explain the world and the phenomenon of globalization via soccer is helter-skelter, but journalistic parts of the whole can be fascinating." The Oregonian
"[A]bsorbing....Even if Foer's larger argument remains only sporadically convincing, his vividly reported tableau may well cause American sports fans to breathe a sigh of relief about how little, really, our games matter." San Francisco Chronicle
"The title of Franklin Foer's How Soccer Explains the World is unabashed hype and the thesis is so anemic that it can hardly stand up to scrutiny, but the prose is lively and the vignettes are memorable." Boston Globe
This wide-ranging work of reportage is a unique and brilliantly illuminating look at the world's most popular sport as a new metaphor for the pressing issues of our age, from the clash of civilizations to the global economy.
"An eccentric, fascinating exposé of a world most of us know nothing about."
—The New York Times Book Review
"An insightful, entertaining, brainiac sports road trip."
"Foers skills as a narrator are enviable. His characterizations… are comparable to those in Norman Mailer's journalism."
A groundbreaking work—named one of the five most influential sports books of the decade by Sports Illustrated—How Soccer Explains the World is a unique and brilliantly illuminating look at soccer, the worlds most popular sport, as a lens through which to view the pressing issues of our age, from the clash of civilizations to the global economy.
About the Author
Franklin Foer is a staff writer at the New Republic and a frequent contributor to Slate. His writing has also appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic Monthly, Foreign Policy, and Spin. He lives in Washington, D.C.

Yes, recommended to a friend.Nice Rug! July 10, 2014
"I liked this rug so much that I bought 3 of them. It is a good mix of durability but comfortable enough to sit on and walk barefoot. Softer than a sisal."
good quality for a good price May 04, 2013
"I have had a good experience with this carpet, I have used the rug over laminate and linoleum flooring and have never used a carpet pad.
I only challenge with the rug is that when it gets wet it does leave a stain. It is a by product of the material, and not an indication of the craftsmanship or quality.
I have looked at similar rugs and the prices here are the most competitive. I would definitely consider purchasing this rug again. If you want a rug to walk barefoot on, this is not the one. But I use it underneath by desk and it is the perfect fit for an office."

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacksby Rebecca Skloot
Staff Pick
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks tells the tale of a woman whose cells were used — without her knowledge — in breakthrough medical research after her 1951 death. Skloot's moving story of faith, family, and science uses the past to teach us about ourselves and our modern society.
This is an absolutely fascinating account of a line of cells that would proliferate to such a degree that they became immortal. Shaved from a tumor in a poor black woman in the 1950s, cultured without her knowledge, and grown to amazing proportions, HeLa cells would change the face of science and medicine forever. Pivotal in the search for disease obliteration, HeLa would prove invaluable because it simply would not die. Yet, Henrietta Lacks did die, in pain and obscurity, and her family knew nothing of her living cells. Posing some very serious questions ranging from tissue ownership to the billion dollar pharmaceutical industry to the mad rush for the elusive cure for cancer to the impossible cost of health insurance, Skloot has done an admirable job of research here. Ironically, Henrietta's story, if read in a novel, would seem ridiculously fantastical. Yet she lived — and her cells still do. Her story is unforgettable.
"Henrietta Lacks, a poor married, African American mother of five, died at 31 in Baltimore from a vicious form of cervical cancer. During her treatment at Johns Hopkins Hospital and after her death there in 1951, researchers harvested some of her tumor cells. This wasn't unusual. Though Lacks consented to treatment, no one asked permission to take her cells; the era's scientists considered it fair to conduct research on patients in public wards since they were being treated for free. What was unusual was what happened next." Valerie Ann Johnson, Ms. Magazine (read the entire Ms. review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells — taken without her knowledge — became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first "immortal" human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. If you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they'd weigh more than 50 million metric tons — as much as a hundred Empire State Buildings. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the effects of the atom bomb; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions.
Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave.
Now Rebecca Skloot takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the "colored" ward of Johns Hopkins Hospital in the 1950s to stark white laboratories with freezers full of HeLa cells; from Henrietta's small, dying hometown of Clover, Virginia — a land of wooden slave quarters, faith healings, and voodoo — to East Baltimore today, where her children and grandchildren live, and struggle with the legacy of her cells.
Henrietta's family did not learn of her "immortality" until more than twenty years after her death, when scientists investigating HeLa began using her husband and children in research without informed consent. And though the cells had launched a multimillion-dollar industry that sells human biological materials, her family never saw any of the profits. As Rebecca Skloot so brilliantly shows, the story of the Lacks family — past and present — is inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of.
Over the decade it took to uncover this story, Rebecca became enmeshed in the lives of the Lacks family — especially Henrietta's daughter Deborah, who was devastated to learn about her mother's cells. She was consumed with questions: Had scientists cloned her mother? Did it hurt her when researchers infected her cells with viruses and shot them into space? What happened to her sister, Elsie, who died in a mental institution at the age of fifteen? And if her mother was so important to medicine, why couldn't her children afford health insurance?
"This is exactly the sort of story that books were made to tell — thorough, detailed, quietly passionate, and full of revelation." Ted Conover, author of Newjack and The Routes of Man
"Skloot tells a truly astonishing story of racism and poverty, science and conscience, spirituality and family driven by a galvanizing inquiry into the sanctity of the body and the very nature of the life force." Booklist (Starred Review)
"Skloot's vivid account begins with the life of Henrietta Lacks, who comes fully alive on the page...Immortal Life reads like a novel." Washington Post
"The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is a fascinating read and a ringing success. It is a well-written, carefully-researched, complex saga of medical research, bioethics, and race in America. Above all it is a human story of redemption for a family, torn by loss, and for a writer with a vision that would not let go." The Boston Globe
"Riveting...raises important questions about medical ethics...It's an amazing story...Deeply chilling... Whether those uncountable HeLa cells are a miracle or a violation, Skloot tells their fascinating story at last with skill, insight and compassion." St. Petersburg Times
Skloot brilliantly weaves together the story of Henrietta Lacks — a woman whose cells have been unwittingly used for scientific research since the 1950s — with the birth of bioethics, and the dark history of experimentation on African Americans.

I tried plugging it into both the blue jack and the green jack on the back of my audio card and i get nothing. Now when i plug it into the blue jack on my speakers it plays but it's by passing the computer sound so i will only hear when my portable CD Player plays. I do know it has to be line in on my Audio card. I'm pretty sure it's the blue jack but it's not playing with either one. Could someone help me with this and has an Integrated Audi Card?? Thanx for any help. Oh i'm trying to do this in Windows XP Pro.

I use this soap every time, it helps me to get rid of skin problems, my allergist recommended me this bar.I also use this soap for shaving purpose.
I no longer use conditioner and my shoulder-length hair is doing all right with gentle brushing to spread natural oils along the length and the alternating of the cleansers. I can even blow dry my hair when I really need to, but I usually let it air dry.It also works great as a body wash. (as it is intended to be for the skin) :) My skin is much happier since I have been using it and my son's eczema is better in control since he has started using it instead of soap or body wash.
I have dry, sensitive skin. I've tried a number of cleansers like this one (Cetaphil, Ponds cold cream, Boots cleansing lotion, etc.) and this one seems to work the best. It takes make up off well and doesn't leave behind a 'filmy' feeling if you just wipe off. If you do rinse with water, it doesn't leave you with a tight, squeeky-clean feeling. It really does leave your skin feeling moisturized and yet cleanses enough to get rid of the dirt and make-up! I'm very happy with this cleanser and will purchase again.
Used this when in the hospital then nurses gave it to me to take home. Liked it enough that I not only used it when I physically couldn't shower, but continued to use it in the shower. Really liked this product. CS

Todays state Odyssey of the Mind Tournament at SUNY Binghamton has 10 teams from Region 8 competing for a chance to head to the World Championship.
Region 8 includes St. Lawrence and Franklin counties.
Teams from the Ogdensburg City School District, Gouverneur and Saranac Lake central schools will compete against students from across the state in a series of events designed to test their creativity and problem-solving skills.
The teams will compete with feats ranging from engineering skills to comedic performances. Coaches have been holding regular practice sessions gearing up for the state competition.
We practiced at least twice a week for two hours at a time since October, Kimberly Snyder, coach of an Ogdensburg team of seventh-grade girls, said. At the end we were practicing pretty much every day.
The girls on Mrs. Snyders team, named #Swag, took on the Its How You Look At It problem.
Basically they had to come up with a presentation thats eight minutes or less to solve a whole bunch of criteria, Mrs. Snyder said. Each person has to exhibit behavior that they consider normal but other people think is odd.
In the performance put on by Mrs. Snyders team, the girls demonstrate a person getting infected with flu. The show starts outside the body and the flu virus goes inside the mouth and then the scene flips over and the rest of it takes place in the body.
Its a lot of fun, Mrs. Snyder said. She said her team is looking forward to the competition.
Beth Siebels, a coach of seven elementary school children at Gouverneur Central School, said her team is also looking forward to Binghamton.
Theyre very excited, Mrs. Siebels said.
Mrs. Siebelss team is also giving its take on the Its How You Look At It problem, though with a much different interpretation.
Mrs. Siebelss team created a character named Big Bear who is a hip hop star.
Then he goes to Hillbilly Outland full of hillbilly skunks and he doesnt fit in, she said.
The team will act out a scene where Nutsy Squirrel, an overly prepared creature, is a social outcast until an earthquake hits and everybody comes to Nutsy for help.
Its really funny, Mrs. Siebels said.
The other team from Gouverneur advancing to states this year is coached by Jill Phaneuf and composed of five sixth-graders and one first-grader.
This team is taking on the Pet Project problem, in which they have to make three small, self-propelled vehicles that transport building blocks to a designated location.
After the team gets the building blocks they have to build a replica of an animal and make it do a trick.
The cars on Mrs. Phaneufs team are propelled by lego wind-up bricks, rubber bands and mousetraps.
Once the cars have delivered the animals pieces, the team will make a mouse and the mouse goes by itself and then drives into a snake that eats it, Mrs. Phaneuf said.
William E. Wilson, overseer of the Odyssey of the Mind program at Saranac Lake Central School, said the district has four teams, two of which are comprised of elementary students, going to Binghamton.
I just want them to do their best, Mr. Wilson said.
Of the Saranac Lake teams, a middle school and elementary school team is doing a problem that involves building a structure and creating a skit based on it.
Another middle school team will be building a balsa wood structure that has to hold a significant amount of weight. Mr. Wilson said the structure the team built for the regional competition managed to hold 500 pounds.
The final team from Saranac Lake was a surprise. Mr. Wilson said an elementary team working on the Its How You Look At It problem which took second place at the regional competition but won a lottery spot at the state competition.
Its a skit that has to have a lot of humor in it, Mr. Wilson said. We finished our last rehearsal [Thursday night].
Thirteen teams from Region 9, including Jefferson and Lewis counties, are also competing in the state competition.

On Wednesday, May 8, seven-year old Christopher Marshall was allowed to return to Driver Elementary School in Suffolk, Virginia, following a two-day suspension. Christopher's offense: pointing a pencil at a classmate and making "bang bang" noises — behavior the other boy, a friend of his, playfully emulated.
Such typical boy behavior, naturally, violated the school's zero-tolerance policy on weapons, leading to the suspension of both second-graders.
"A pencil is a weapon when it is pointed at someone in a threatening way and gun noises are made," Suffolk Public Schools spokeswoman Bethanne Bradshaw told Portsmouth, Virginia, television station WAVY.
Indeed, just about anything can qualify as a weapon under Suffolk's policy, which "also bans drawing a picture of a gun and pointing a finger in a threatening manner," according to the Associated Press.
The policy has been in place for decades, but it has been enforced more stringently in recent years because of school shootings across the country, Bradshaw told WAVY.
"Some children would consider it threatening, who are scared about shootings in schools or shootings in the community," she explained. "Kids don't think about 'Cowboys and Indians' anymore, they think about drive-by shootings and murders and everything they see on television news every day."
The zero-tolerance policy is "an effort to try to get kids not to bring any form of violence, even if it's violent play, into the classroom," Bradshaw told the AP. "There has to be a consequence because it's a rule. And it's a rule that the principals go over."
It is also, as Christopher's parents see it, a rule that makes no allowance for normal boy behavior — not to mention common sense.
Paul Marshall, Christopher's father, told WAVY that when he asked his son about the incident, the boy said, "Well, I was being a Marine and the other guy was being a bad guy."

MASSENA - The American Cancer Society Relay for Life season officially started Wednesday night with a kickoff for the Massena/Louisville event that will be held in June.
This years theme is Sporting for a Cure, and the walls at the Massena Meals on Wheels, site of the kickoff, were adorned with all types of sports memorabilia, from hockey jerseys and a New York Yankees jacket, to ice skates and batting helmets, to a Buffalo Bills banner and Boston Red Sox pennant.
In celebration of the sports theme, Jonathan A. French; his son, Jonathan G. French; and Andrew Harvey showcased their Taekwondo talents with several demonstrations to kick off the event.
Although the local Relay for Life isnt until June 7 at the Louisville Community Center, Laura E. Gregory, American Cancer Society St. Lawrence County community executive ,said it was important to get a jump start so money could be raised to help cancer patients.
Were looking forward to relay and getting back in the season, she said. Relay for Life is very important to us. Its one of the largest fundraisers for the American Cancer Society. It helps to fuel our mission.
The relay honors cancer survivors and remembers those who have been lost to cancer, while collecting funds to support the American Cancer Societys research, education, advocacy, and patient services, Ms. Gregory said.
Last year, she said, they helped 369 patients in the county and assisted 184 people with lodging totalling 937 nights.
Among the services they provide are the Look Good... Feel Better program, a free, national public service program that helps women cancer patients improve their appearance and self-image by teaching them hands-on beauty techniques to manage their appearance from the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Ms. Gregory said they also offer a Man to Man prostate cancer support group, as well as counseling services and a toll-free number at 800-ACS-2345 thats available around the clock all year long.
Patients can also receive a personal health manager who helps them through their cancer journey, Ms. Gregory said.
Were able to do this because of all the work you do, she said.
Two local cancer survivors expressed their appreciation for the work done by the American Cancer Society and the participants in the annual Relay for Life.
Sarah Murphy, 18, a senior at Massena High School, is the team captain for the Interact team that participates in the relay. She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in May 2004.
I spent two years getting treatment, she said.
At age 12, she needed to receive a bone marrow transplant after the cancer reemerged.
Even now I have to go to Boston for checkups and tests, she said.
Ms. Murphy said shes saddened to see the number of patients, young and old alike, who are affected by cancer. But it can be beat, she said.
Even though having cancer is no fun, it helped me grow and helped me realize that if I can get through that, I can get through anything, she said.
Cathy Dix, 54, said she had never spoken publicly about her battle with breast cancer three years ago. She received the news from her gynecologist after receiving a mammogram.
It took me by surprise. Theres no history of breast cancer in my family, she said. Because I have a very young family, I said nothings going to stop me.
Because her breast cancer was discovered early before it spread, Ms. Dix said she received a brief treatment of radiation.
This will be her third year as a team member and team captain for one of the Relay for Life teams.
I certainly try to promote relay out there. The realization is it can happen to anybody, she said. Despite the diagnosis, we have to stay positive.
I dont think there is anybody out there who doesnt know somebody affected by cancer, Luminary Committee Co-Chair Nora Darling said.
Last years event in Louisville included 389 participants on 33 teams, plus 75 survivors, who are considered special guests and participate in a Survivors Lap to kick off the 12-hour event. The 2012 Relay for Life raised nearly $70,000 for the American Cancer Society.
Teams can still sign up for this years Relay for Life at www.relayforlife.org/massenany.

An undisclosed developer has signed a purchase offer to buy the former Tallmadge Tire and Auto Service Center, 217 Arsenal St., from G&K Realty, owned by D. Edward Grant and Timothy E. Kelly.
The developer, who plans to retrofit the building, is expected to close on the deal in the next 30 days, Mr. Kelly said Thursday. The buildings property line borders that of Mercy Care Center, a complex located between Arsenal and Stone streets. COR Development Co., Fayetteville, purchased Mercy this month after its residents relocated to Samaritan Summit Village on outer Washington Street. Mr. Kelly confirmed Thursday that the former tire store which has been for sale for about a year was not purchased by COR. COR has announced it plans to demolish the former Mercy complex and build residential, retail and commercial space.
Mr. Kelly said he has not been contacted by COR about the pending sale of the building. Regarding the timing of the Mercy sale, he said, Im sure (COR) had an interest in our property, but we sold it three weeks before they said they were going to do anything with Mercy.
Mr. Kelly said the Arsenal Street building, which also was a former city fire station, could be used for any number of purposes.
The plan was to repair the building, fix it up and use it for something, he said. I cant speak for what the developer plans to do.
Alexandria Bay real estate developer P.J. Simao declined to comment Thursday when asked if he is seeking to purchase the property.
Mr. Kelly operated Tallmadge Tire and Auto Service Center there from 1992 until his retirement in 2001. The building has since been vacant, although the county has rented parking space there.

By DON MERRILLSalt Lake City
There are three stories to the recent tumble in the markets. The first one is already lore. The Federal Reserve slashed its short term interest rate by three-quarters of a point soon after precipitous drops in Europe and Asia over fears of the American sub-prime mortgage mess.
The second is suspicion that the Fed really cut the rate because 31-year-old Jerome Kerviel, a trader for Societe' General, one of France's largest banks, had been accused of burning his bosses money at an online casino. By the time he was caught, he'd allegedly spent $7 billion. The rumblings are the Fed must've thought that much of a loss, on top of everything else might've pushed the market over, so they jumped in.
But the third story in this triptych is, by far, the most interesting. For days after story two surfaced, a variety of media commentators referred to Mr. Kerviel's incredible fraud. But they all seemed to end their judgment with the same line, "... and he didn't even make any money." How is it that thievery ranks up there with global financial collapse? Because it wasn't the thievery that annoyed the press.
The media is making an assumption. It is saying that although people don't like malfeasance, they figure that if someone is going to be bold enough to do something that big, they better at least be smart enough to get something out of it even if they don't totally get away with it. If the media really is our proxy, its criticism of Kervial gives a peek of how disappointed we as Americans can be for a scheme that can go from "The Sting" to "Dog Day Afternoon" because of poor planning. And it highlights our unabashed contempt not for criminals as much as for stupid criminals. The press asks, was Kerviel's thievery in anyway justifiable? Obviously not. But was his inability to get something, anything out of that much money annoying to us all? Clearly that's what they think.

Phuket hotels
What travelers to Phuket are saying
Phuket Hotel Deals with HotelClub.com
Phuket is an all-singing, all-dancing, never-sleeping pleasure palace!
But show a little initiative and Phuket reveals far more – from the relaxed, unspoilt Nai Harn Beach and beautiful Karon Beach where you'll find most of the high-end resorts popular with European travellers, to the rainforest interior where the Khao Phra Thaeo Wildlife Sanctuary operates. You can even channel your inner Tarzan (wrong continent, but you know what we mean) and explore the jungle on Koh Yao Noi or Koh Yao Yai islands, both easily accessible from Phuket. Then finish the day by watching the sun set from Phrom Thep Cape.
Despite, or perhaps because of the cheap souvenirs and girlie bars, Phuket is one of the world's most desirable locations. But it's when you move beyond the Bangkok-lite façade that the best holidays are found.
Thailand: Best Beaches in Phuket
Phuket: The mere whisper of the word evokes hair-trigger impressions from those who have been and, indeed, from those who have yet to go. Whether pro Phuket or con, the province is a dynamo and, Bangkok aside, the most popular tourist target in Thailand.
Deride the crass over-development and haphazard chaos of Patong, Phuket lures millions of package holiday partisans, moneyed globetrotters, backpacker beach bums, tireless wanderlusters and, indeed, all manner of traveller in between year in and year out. All for good reason too.
Phuket simply has it all. Affordable and a considerable 543 square km, the island has enough heft to herald both the promise of a Full Moon Party-like vibe if you so desire, or, for those in the serenity-now camp, the possibility of a pristine beach and chichi resort.
So whether you want to revel or relax, cavort or catnap, Phuket has a beach for you. With that in mind, discover our top picks in the peerless island province for Andaman Sea bliss.
Phuket's Top 10
10. Simon Cabaret Show You're on holiday, remember? Why not indulge in the best lady-boy show there is!
5. Phang Nga Bay Relax among sheer limestone cliffs. Tranquil heaven (or sleep off the hangover!)
9. Wat Chalong and Phuket Temples Phuket's most important and beautiful spiritual landmarks.
4. Elephant Trek See Phuket from atop your very own living transport. Like in Aladdin – only real! These babies really roll when they walk, so you'll feel like you're going to fall off the whole time. Buying a painting by an elephant at the end helps fund the operation.
8. Thai Boxing (Muay Thai) Brutal yet somehow balletic. It's pugilistic poetry in motion. Watch a fight at night, try your hands and feet at it in the Patong Beach gyms during the day.
3. Big Buddha Seriously, you've got to see it to believe it. He really is big! Oh, and you know, really beautiful and everything.
7. Gibbon Rehabilitation Project Small but important. Completely funded by your visits.
2. Jungle Bungee Jump Step up thrill-seekers! Run by Kiwis, indulged in by maniacs. It's a 50-metre drop.
6. Patong Go Kart Speedway Thailand's best track. Surrounded by lots of popular hotels and eateries.
1. Phuket FantaSea Insanely popular, which is why this one makes number one. But prepared to feel a bit uncomfortable at the elephants having to act like circus clowns.

Phuket LocalOld Phuket Town
Get in your time machine and take a stroll through this historically rich part of town. There's heaps to check out, from shrines, temples (Buddhist and Chinese), ornate and beautifully preserved 'shop houses', quaint cafés, tiny printing shops, impromptu private and public museums and even a mini ex-red light district on Soi Romani.
Smack bang in the centre of it all is Thalang Road, where you'll find Sino-Portuguese architecture in abundance – a throwback to Phuket's colonial days. It might sound lame, but it's actually really cool – especially if you check out the open cooking and bathing areas (don't get those two mixed up!)
Take a stroll down Dibuk Road to see the famous On On Hotel, which featured in the Leonardo DiCaprio movie The Beach. Finish the day at the Night Markets, where bargains galore of authentic Thai goods can be bargained for and bought.
Patong Beach
This is why Phuket is famous. If hedonism is what you're after, Patong Beach is truly the best there is. Apart from being super sexy and drawing the hotties from afar, this is place to get amongst all the action. And let's not forget the shopping and the great nightlife centred on Bangla Road.
But down by the beach is where the action takes off – in and around the water. There's jet skiing, yachting, para-gliding, surfing, snorkelling and kite surfing. And if that doesn't float your boat (pun intended) how about stopping by the Aqua Zone Water Park. And if that doesn't excite you, you could be a little dead inside.
In Patong, you're not going to find much that's authentically Thai amid the neon lights and non-stop partying. But chances are you're going to be having too much of a good time to care.
Kamala Beach
Quite different from party-central Patong Beach is Kamala Beach.A little more subdued but not quite the nerdy-type, it's still cool, just comparatively quiet.
Swimming at Kamala is generally safe although surf and swells do occur from May to October, so keep an eye out for red flags. Your relaxation may also be interrupted by beach vendors trying to sell you things. Simply say, 'No thanks' and they'll move on.
Off the beach, Kamala is also where you'll find great shopping, and on Fridays you can browse the Kamala Friday Market and practise your bartering skills. Kamala Beach is also home to Wat Baan Kamala, one of the region's most famous and ornate temples. When visiting, make sure you dress respectfully (you probably lost your bikini in Patong anyway). If you're feeling peckish, you'll find a variety of the best and cheapest Thai food anywhere in the hawker vans to the north of the beach.
Eat & Drink in Phuket
Patong Municipality Food Court A great place to sample heaps of amazing and interesting Thai food without blowing the budget. Nice views included.
Da Maurizio Tie your tie – it's posh o'clock. Expensive but well worth it for a one-off splash!
Pizzaro BarIf you're missing home (or you're Italian?) this is best pizza in town. Drooling at the memories.
Roadside FoodVendors To get the real experience, you can't go past the street food. Sample here and there to your heart's content. Don't let the plastic chairs put you off. Some of the best food in the city.
Acqua Restaurant The up-and-comer of the food world. Modern Italian by the beach.
Baitong Seafood Select your dinner from the live displays! Always a winner. Nightly live music, so boogie down with pals.
Chez Bernard Dine with your feet literally in the sand. Thai and Western food available, both at a good price.
Grillhutte For big eaters, this German bar and eatery serves up masses of meat for people with big appetites. Wash it down with a big old beer.
The Boathouse Gourmet French and Thai food as well as over 800 wine selections to choose from. Located right on the beach so stunning views.
Baan Rim Pa True fine-dining with great atmosphere.
What's On
In of honour the two heroines who fought for peace in the island during the Burmese invasion, the island celebrates the Thep Krasatri and Tao Sri Sunthorn Festivals during March.
April brings around the wet and wonderful Songkran Festival – Thailand's New Year celebration. This is big one so brace yourself! The locals level to spray tourists (with water, we should add…)
Coinciding with New Year is National Fisherman's Day in Phuket. Baby turtles set out to sea – enough to make even the most cynical cynic go 'Awww!'
Adorable little flower boats lit with candles mark the start of October's Loy Krathong Festival.
Just in case the girls/boys in the bars don't make you feel welcome enough, November brings the Patong Carnival to mark the start the tourist season. There are parades, food fests and quirky beauty contests (fancy your chances?).
The carnival is followed by the annual Gay Pride Festival. Paint yourself rainbow and get down!
Plus, there's always the chance to see a fit young thing run past for the Laguna Triathlon on Bang Tao Beach in November. But watching all that exercise may leave you in need of a lie down and/or stiff drink.
On the King's birthday in December, the aptly named King's Cup Regatta kicks off at Nai Harn Beach. It's like England's Henley Regatta, only with less Pims.
When To Go
Tourists flock to Phuket all year round. It really depends on whether you can stand the heat or don't mind a bit of rain. Here's a rough guide:
- Hot and Dry Season (November to May) 25-31°C (77-88°F) – sweltering humidity, little or no rainfall.
- Rainy season (June to October) 26-30°C (79-86°F); occasional heavy rain but the cool sea breezes ease the humidity.
Getting Around
Motorbikes – Fun, cheap and safe (but be careful). The daily rental rate for the small motorbikes is 100-150 baht. The larger bikes rent for 300-500 baht. But be street smart and don't let anyone charge you more.
Buses – Public buses are the cheapest way to get around. A one-way trip from Patong to Phuket Town costs 15 baht. They aren't always reliable, though, but if you do get stuck, there's always another way home!
Taxis and Tuk Tuks – The standard rate for a ride from one point in Patong to another is 20 baht, from Patong to Phuket is 150 baht, from Patong to Karen Beach is 100 baht. If you pay much more, you're being ripped off.
What To Miss
It might seem obvious but the water is a no-no! You don't want to be cramped up or over up in the loo for half your holiday. This includes ice in your drink, ice-blocks and freshly made cold drinks like iced tea.
If you're going diving, be careful. There are some dangerous spots around and the instructors are not always as qualified as we might expect. Pay particular attention to safety around monsoon periods (May/June to October).
In the southern parts of Phuket the beaches can get a bit murky and muddy. Some people don't mind it, so each to their own!
If you're out partying, be careful. Buy your own drinks and don't buy for locals unless you're sure who they are and what they're expecting…
Phuket Information
Phuket has to be seen and experienced to be understood. Thailand's top holiday destination lies in the Andaman Sea on the west coast of the country's southern tip. It may have been overrun by tourism and modernization as hotels continue to spread out like mushrooms and tourists still come in herds, peak season or not. But there is one good reason for Phuket's fame.
Its natural beauty is known all over the world and the recreational options are endless. White powder-like sands, crystal clear blue waters and a rich ecosystem are enough to keep Phuket on anyone's list of dream retreats. You can either spend the whole day at the beach or dive and explore the underwater sights. Then for a grand end to a most relaxing day, pamper yourself in any of the fabulous spas. Thus there is no argument that Phuket is still Asia's most popular leisure destination.
Phuket's major card is its impressive lineup of beaches. Each has its own character and ambience; some are bustling with energy while others are wrapped in exclusivity. Generally, those at the south and west of the island have better beaches than the ones found in the west, which are more muddy.
One place to find the party crowd is Patong Beach. The area is jam-packed with tourists and further congested by hotels, restaurants and bars. Some may be put off by the polluted beach but the energetic vibe is definitely irresistible.
The second largest beach is Karon Beach, well-liked for its powdery sand and clear waters. The atmosphere here is not as chaotic as in Patong. The long strip allows you to choose your own secluded spot and laze around. Another plus would be the lovely coral reefs which encourage good snorkeling options. Right next to Karon is Kata Beach. This compact-sized beach is a hit among families. Though it has seen a lot developments, the beach is very pleasant with the mountains as backdrop.
Other beaches found in the north end are Kalim Beach and Kamala Beach. Rugged Kalim offers a good distance away from the bustling centre while Kamala beach is a peaceful spot further up the hill.
On the South end, Cape Panwa is a beautiful serene beach huddled by a thick forest. Resorts are built far from each other thus giving a bit of privacy for visitors to fully enjoy the calm beach. Same goes for Nai Harn Beach, utterly quiet and less developed.
Posh fills the air at Laguna Phuket in Bang Tao Bay where a group of upscale hotels hold fort. Its palm fringed beaches, though a bit narrow, provides a relaxing seclusion from the more vibrant areas in the north.
What else can you enjoy doing in Phuket? Watch the sunset from Phrom Thep Cape. Keep in mind though that there are others like you gathering around to view this spectacular sight so it's pretty much a public affair.
Phuket's biggest cultural attraction is Phuket Fantasea, an amusement park for both kids and adults. Visitors who have seen the 45-minute cultural show about the story of the magic elephant only have high praises for it! Intricate costumes and amazing acrobatics add up to the entertainment. For more fun with the animals and if you have time to spare, do drop by the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project near Bang Pae Waterfalls, an outreach project which aims to nurture abused gibbons.
On March, the island celebrates Thao Thep Krasatri and Tao Sri Sunthorn Festivals to honour the two heroines who fought for peace in the island during the Burmese invasion. The monument in Thalang District is adorned with colorful garlands.
It's a wet and wild affair during the Songkran Festival in April, a nationwide event to welcome the Thai new year. Here in Phuket, it coincides with the celebration of National Fisherman's Day with baby turtles being set out to sea as a form of thanksgiving.
Patong Carnival brings out the fun in November to welcome what else? The tourist season! There are parades, food fests and quirky beauty contests. A more rambunctious mood emanates when Gay Pride Festival sets in every year.
Another major Thai festival is Loy Krathong in October. Cute and lovely flower boats lit with candles are set adrift into the ocean. In fact, expect all of the waterways in Thailand lit up during this festival.
There are sporting events in Phuket as well. In November, triathletes converge for the Laguna Triathlon in Bang Tao Beach. Then on the King's birthday in December, the King's Cup Regatta gets underway at Nai Harn Beach with trendy boats coming in from all around the world.
- Hot and Dry Season (November – May) 25 - 31oC; sweltering heat, little or no rainfall
- Rainy season (June – October) 26 - 30oC; occasional heavy rain but the cool sea breezes ease the humidity and high temperatures

HAMMOND – The Hammond Central School Board of Education decided this week to hire former Lake Placid Superintendent Randy C. Richards as interim superintendent to replace Douglas H. McQueer after the board abruptly reversed course and fired him in July.
The selection came down to two candidates recommended by Thomas R. Burns, superintendent of the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services, who acted as a consultant in the hiring process.
After an interview with both candidates Tuesday, the school board unanimously decided to hire Mr. Richards. He is expected to be appointed at a school board meeting Oct. 8, and his salary will be announced then. Mr. McQueers last day is Oct. 30.
We anticipate that it will be a smooth transition, board President Thomas Pitcher said.
The other candidate was Beverly L. Ouderkirk, shared superintendent of Brushton-Moira and St. Regis Falls central schools.
Mr. Pitcher said Mr. Richards was chosen for his background in education.
The board was very impressed, Mr. Pitcher said. We had excellent candidates to choose from. Hes been superintendent at several different schools over the years and is very well experienced.
Mr. Richards previously served as a principal in Oswego, Stockbridge Valley and Utica, and as an assistant principal at Camden High School.
Hes held about every administrative position that you can think of, Mr. Burns said.
Most recently, he served as superintendent of the Lake Placid Central School District from 2010 until this spring, when that school board declined to renew his contract. Mr. Richards was at the center of controversy there.
He was investigated by the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2012 for gender discrimination against middle-high school Principal Katherine Mulderig after he told her he needed someone bitchier to manage the bitchy teachers at the elementary school.The EEOC validated those complaints, and Mr. Richards apologized for the incident. Ms. Mulderig has since accepted a settlement agreement and left her job.
Mr. Richards also was the target of an appeal filed with the state education commissioner by Lake Placid resident Linda Wallace on April 30. The appeal sought his removal as superintendent and accused him of derogation of responsibility, neglect of duty and deliberate indifference, according to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise newspaper. The status of that complaint was unclear.
Ms. Wallace said Mr. Richards mismanaged the budget process by providing misleading, inaccurate and inflated figures to voters in a news release distributed before the school budget vote.
Mr. Burns and Mr. Pitcher said that Hammond school board members are aware of the controversies, but that they did not affect Mr. Richardss appointment.
Its a non-issue, Mr. Burns said. There were charges filed, but those charges were dismissed. He was pretty forthcoming. We have explored all that. We have done the reference checking.
He has proven to have had great success at other school districts, especially when it comes to raising schools up to higher standards, Mr. Pitcher said. He was upfront about his past experiences and told us about the incidents at Lake Placid.
Mr. Richards could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Mr. Burns said choosing school superintendents has become a challenge.
There is definitely a decrease in the superintendent pool, he said. Superintendents have to make difficult decisions cutting budgets and eliminating positions. All the while, the state is expecting you to raise standards and student achievements. Were seeing myriad constituency groups rising up to see students are getting the education they should receive, and were seeing more board member turnover. These are all signs of the times.
Mr. Richards will serve this year as full-time superintendent until a permanent leader is hired. That process will begin in mid-October. The permanent superintendent is expected to begin in July, according to a draft timeline developed by Mr. Burns. School board members and Mr. McQueer have said that as part of a separation agreement they cannot comment on why his contract was not renewed for an eighth year.
Mr. Pitcher has cited ongoing issues of job performance, poor evaluation scores and the boards desire to move in a new direction as the reasons for Mr. McQueers dismissal.

Prices vary based on delivery destination (it's a tax thing), so please change it if you're not shipping within United States as it might affect the price! (Why?)
'That Boutique-y Whisky Company' bottles Scotch Single Malt Whiskies from a variety of renowned distilleries in limited batches. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels which feature prominent figures from the whisky industry upon them, as well as other little details for you to find!These are Single Malts in the truest sense of the term; they are a blend of casks from one distillery. Thanks to their limited nature and popularity we expect these to become quite sought after and collectable. They are also bottled without age statements because each batch is dependent on the parcels of stock received so it is entirely possible that there could be an age difference of thirty years between batches!
