Preparing for art college
The best way for a student to prepare for art college is to take as many art classes as possible. The more, the better! Obviously, they should take advantage of whatever classes are offered at the high school. Availability of art classes can vary, and budget cuts have affected the arts in many school. Other options include:
• Many local art museums and art associations offer non-credit instruction at all levels to diverse age groups.
• Community Colleges usually allow high school students to take their courses on a dual-enrollment basis.
• Many art colleges offer residential and non-residential, long- and short-term courses for high school students during the summer months. Summer programs not only provide concentrated instruction leading to the creation of portfolio-ready work, but also a preview of life as a college art student. For information about Ringling's summer program, visit www.ringling.edu/precollege.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Former Carbon County Sheriff's Captain Guy Adams pleaded no contest to a single misdemeanor count of criminal mischief Monday in Third District Court. In doing so, he confirmed what he told the Sun Advocate last week he would do: spare himself and his family what he termed the uncertainty and expense of a jury trial.
Judge Katie Bernards-Goodman accepted the plea bargain between Adams and the Salt Lake County Attorney's Office, and ruled that the plea will be held in abeyance for one year. If Adams commits no crime during that time, the charge will be dismissed.
He also paid $1,012.89 in restitution - $938.20 to Dave Smith Motors and $74.69 to the Syracuse Police Department - for scratches he was accused of putting in their vehicles last January in South Salt Lake.
Adams, a 21-year veteran with the department, retired last Friday. "This has put such a burden on me and my family, I decided to retire from the Sheriff's Office and pursue a different line of work," he told the newspaper in a conversation on Thursday and in a written statement Friday.
"I never in my wildest dreams would ever think my career would end on such a tragedy," he stated. Adams also said he hoped that the TV news channels would play the surveillance video taken at the car lot where the damaged vehicles were discovered. That way, the people of Carbon County "can make up their own mind if I'm guilty or not."
"What would be my motive to risk 21 years of law enforcement in which 15 were as the under sheriff? I have [one] National Sheriff's Medal of Valor and a second Medal of Valor from Carbon County. I have never had any policy violations nor have I ever broken the law," he continued.
He contended that the video showed him looking in vehicles but not scratching them and that there was nothing in his hand to make a scratch.
On the other hand, Deputy Salt Lake County District Attorney Craig Stanger wrote in the court document, "There is reasonable cause to believe that the evidence would support the conviction of the defendant for the offense for which the plea is entered, and acceptance of the plea would serve the public interest."
The plea agreement dropped two of the three counts against Adams. The remaining count, a Class A misdemeanor, would carry a penalty of zero-to-12 months in jail and up to a $2,500 fine plus a 90 percent surcharge.

Exelon Nuclear's Braidwood Generating Station is donating $10,000 to the Braidwood Police Department for the purchase of new portable radios.
BRACEVILLE, Ill. (March 26, 2009) - Exelon Nuclear's Braidwood Generating Station is donating $10,000 to the Braidwood Police Department for the purchase of new portable radios.
City of Braidwood acting police chief Brandon Myers said the new radios are necessary because of a new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) change that requires a switch to a more narrow band radio.
"This donation will help us comply with new FCC rules without having to find money in the city's already tightened budget," Myers said. "We are grateful for Exelon's continued support of our community."
Braidwood Station Site Vice President Bryan Hanson said the plant works closely with many of the area's emergency responders. Making sure they have the proper equipment is important for the community as well as the generating station.
"We are pleased to make this donation to the Braidwood police," Hanson said. "The Braidwood police provide an important service to our station as well as the surrounding communities."
Braidwood Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two nuclear energy units can produce a total of more than 2,300 megawatts at full power - enough electricity to power more than two million homes.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Audio Engineers work in many different areas including recording and producing
music for CDs, radio, television, motion pictures, and video games. They may also
set up and run PA systems for concerts, festivals, sporting arenas, conventions,
churches, live theater and nightclubs. Audio techs are responsible for recording
or reinforcing live sound with all the instruments in proper sonic balance and clarity.
In addition to having a "good ear" and an understanding of music, they must have
a thorough knowledge of acoustics, microphones, mixing boards, signal processing
and digital audio software.
SFCC offers an
Associate in Applied Science Degree (A.A.S.)
and a Professional Certificate in Audio
Technology. The program is the only one of its kind currently offered in Eastern
Washington. It prepares students for jobs in digital audio production, analog and
digital recording, live sound engineering, sound design, and as technicians in the
broadcast and audio-visual industries.
Areas of study include: computer-based music technology software; digital and analog
recording techniques and procedures; acoustics; microphone design and placement;
signal processing and effects; songwriting, arranging, and film scoring; live sound
reinforcement, location recording, system set-up and maintenance; music business;
basic music theory and piano.
The Audio Engineering program is now full for 2015-2016. On April 1, 2016, we will begin accepting applications
for Fall 2016. All prospective students to the Audio Engineering Program need to follow and complete the steps listed
It is essential that you maintain an active email account so that we may provide all information needed in a timely
To be admitted to the program, all applicants must complete and/or submit:
In review, here are the steps in order:
Thank you for your interest in Audio Engineering at Spokane Falls. We look forward to meeting you.
Telephone: (509) 533-3212
During the first year of the program students will learn the
basics of studio recording, acoustics, live sound reinforcement, and digital audio workstations (DAW's),
as well as receive instruction in functional piano and music theory. In the recording studio students
learn mixing console signal flow, studio procedures, and microphone techniques while they participate
in live recording sessions. In the MIDI lab, using the latest DAW software and operating systems,
students develop basic mixing, editing and Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) production
The second year of the program provides advanced study and
implementation of the aforementioned skills as well as internship opportunities at local recording
studios, radio stations, and post production facilities. Second year students further develop skills in
music theory and composing/arranging for film and multimedia applications.
The associate's degree program can also serve as a
transfer program in the event that a student wishes to pursue a bachelor's degree in Music Technology/
Audio Engineering at applicable colleges and universities.
There are many pathways to employment in the field of audio engineering including work in recording facilities,
postproduction studios and live sound venues. The increasing popularity of video games and multi-media production
has led to increased demand in the gaming and web industries for skilled audio technicians well versed in digital
and analog technology. The Inland Northwest has seen a steady growth in the entertainment and recording industry.
With venues such as the Spokane Arena, Opera House, Spokane Expo Center, Northern Quest Casino, numerous
nightclubs, festivals and concert venues, recording studios, live theaters, houses of worship, etc., jobs are
increasingly available for trained audio engineers. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS)
employment predictions, jobs for sound engineering technicians will increase by 9 percent, about as fast as
average for all occupations, from 2012-2022. Audio Visual Technicians can expect faster than average job growth
at 14 percent.
Potential Positions Include: studio recording/mix engineer, editor, live sound engineer, AV technician,
Foley artist, and MIDI programmer.
Income varies dramatically within the industry. Starting hourly wages can range
from $16 to $22 while successful recording studio engineers and producers can make
well over $100,000 per year.
Audio Engineers have many and diverse opportunities for employment as stated
above. Like the music business as a whole, it is very competitive. Those that
have an intense desire to learn the intricacies of sound, the essentials of
signal flow, the complexities of digital audio, and develop their understanding
of music itself, can look forward to an interesting and rewarding career. Those
with compositional skills and an understanding of the music business will have an even greater chance for success.
Students are more likely to succeed in our program if they know the program in detail prior to entry. Also,
we are better equipped to advise students wisely when we know their knowledge and goals upon entry. Lastly,
if Audio Engineering is not a good fit for you, we are available to guide you in the evaluation of other
educational opportunities at Spokane Falls.
Audio Engineering is an open access program. As long as there are seats in the program and you have
completed the admissions process, you will be admitted. Historically, however, about 120 or more students
express interest in and/or apply for the program. Program capacity is 40. When student applications exceed
program capacity, a committee evaluates students based upon a holistic scoring process that takes into
These criteria are predictors of student success in the program. For example, in many of the Audio
Engineering Program courses, it is beneficial for students to possess some musical background: Music
Theory, Piano, Midi Arranging, and Digital Audio I-VI. Similarly, it is beneficial across the curriculum to
be a skilled reader (as students must absorb large amounts of complex information through reading). However,
no student is excluded from consideration based upon any one criterion. You may not be the strongest reader
in the world, but your experience with audio engineering software may more than offset that. We honor the
unique strengths of every student and consider their overall preparedness.
SFCC offers students many choices. The most common degree is the
Associate of Arts. In addition, we offer an
Associate of Science Transfer, an
Associate of Fine Arts, a wide range of
Associate in Applied Science degrees, and
career-technical certificates.
There are several things you should know about Audio Engineering at Spokane Falls.
When students drop out of a course or program, it is called "attrition." On average for the college,
attrition is about 30%. In 2009-2010, attrition in Audio Engineering is well below the college average.
Our students work extremely hard and receive exceptional academic support. When you make the decision to join us
and pursue an education in Audio Engineering, we ask for your dedication. Audio Engineering is an expensive
program paid for by the people of Washington State. We provide students an extraordinary instructional team and
state-of-the-art equipment; therefore it is incumbent upon every student who accepts a seat in the program
to fulfill the hopes and dreams of our state.
Community Colleges of Spokane does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex,
disability, sexual orientation, or age in its programs, activities and employment. Furthermore, Audio
Engineering is committed to diversity, cultural awareness, and intercultural fluency. We have zero
tolerance for discriminatory behavior and/or language; we maintain – and expect students in the program to
maintain – an uncompromised atmosphere of mutual respect.

I went for breakfast with a good friend of mine last Sunday. She's a writer at a (really great) magazine and together we talked about the merits of freebies – non-editorial speak for 'products for review'.
I was talking about getting a PDF of a book for review. This is new. I've never been given a PDF to review before, so one has to refine what it is about a book that makes it special. You're more focused on the contents, not on the weight and heft or how tactile the experience can be. She said, Oh yeah, sometimes I'll go into the beauty desk, see the YSL and think, 'Tch, where's the Tom Ford?'
There was a slight pause, then she said to me, "We really are snobby a**holes, aren't we?".
And we really are. It was a humbling moment.
While the feel factor of a coffee table book is the thing that keeps the publishing industry alive, it's the contents that are really important. It's what's inside the file (or the lipstick tube) that counts. I can't believe how lucky I have been this year in regard to getting books for review. I've loved reading everything and am incredibly grateful to the PRs who deem my sphere of work important enough to read their books.
So, with that earnest anecdote aside, this is a review of Vogue: The Editor's Eye, which, onscreen, looks like this:
…but in bookshops, looks a little like this.
Before reading the book, I took a trip to my local Eason's to get a look at the book proper. I found it (rather disingenuously in the 'Health' section), wrapped in cellophane, a tome not to be desecrated with my grubby hands. It is huge. Monumentally so. It is the kind of huge that could easily cover an entire coffee table. It has the kind of weight that potentially says 'I Am a Very Important Book'.
The Editor's Eye charts not only the careers of Vogue's best fashion editors, but also plots an overarching route through the magazine's general images, from the mid twentieth century to present day. How did the world's most popular fashion magazine go from this…
..to this?
How did it go through these changes so seamlessly? The truth is that these changes weren't so seamless, but the fact that Vogue went through seismic shifts, multiple firings and the odd acrimonious dispute is one that the book cheerfully ignores. It's not a tell-all; rather it is a show-all. The focus is rightfully on the specific editors' careers and not focused on what the editor-in-chief was (or wasn't) doing at the time.
As an introduction to the various fashion editors who captured the zeitgeist and made American Vogue the magazine panopticon of style that it is today, it is seamless. Each editor is introduced with an essay and a selection of photographs from Vogue's archives. I especially enjoyed the essay on Babs Simpson who, at 99 years old and still telling anecdotes about how she accidentally told Carmel Snow to 'F**k off', is the woman who transformed models from static pedestal-dwellers to real (albeit ridiculously good-looking) women engaging with the real world.
The selections of images for each editor is entirely appropriate, bringing together a vital thread or theme that runs through each editor's work (Grace Coddington – romantic, Tonne Goodman – the healthy body, Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele – the beginnings of high-low and street style). Layouts are sparse – one collage per editor, then pages of one-photo spreads. It is high-impact and very effectively done. We also get to see pictures of the editor's themselves, their homes, their childhoods and can learn about their personal lives and motivations through each essay.
The essays are not of the same exacting quality. While most are excellent, Michael Roberts' essay on Coddington is rather fawning ('best stylist in the world' gets bandied around more than once) and reveals little about the enigmatic Grace that we don't already know. Hilton Als' profile of Camilla Nickerson starts as charming but evolves into a slightly heavy-handed dissection of photography and the female gaze. On the other hand, de Dudzeele leaps out of the page with sheer personality and brio, while Phyllis Posnick's story gives hope to aspiring stylists without suitably colourful origin myths.
The story of Vogue is reaching its zenith. Through this book, casual fans of the magazine's editorial team can now look at others who may have been overlooked due to time, trends or circumstance. An excellent buy for Voguettes, wannabe stylists or those who just love beautiful fashion photography.
Vogue: The Editor's Eye is published by Abrams and is out now.

DiPIETRO IS ALREADY IN MINNESOTADetails on the NYI's new injury-recovery program
Dear Readers: To those commenting here and elsewhere that despite Semin, Backstrom, Green and Co. the difference between the Capitals' four-year plan and what the Islanders have embarked on is a primo star like Alexander Ovechkin, here is my response.
When Scott Gordon reports that Rick DiPietro will re-join the team in Minnesota on Friday, thanks to Minny-based writer Fiona Quick we now have a better understanding why.
That's because DiPietro is already in Minnesota. And, according to the Quickster, so are Radek Martinek, Frans Nielsen, Bruno Gervais and Mike Sillinger.
As Mike Comrie did last week, the quartet is working out at the MN Made Ice Center in Edina, Minnesota. They are receiving treatment from a device called the ARP Trainer, the ARP an acronym for Accelerated Recovery Performance. The Islanders have not said a word about this latest development in their training program.
"It's a different kind of stim machine that helps fire up the muscle groups," Comrie told me today after practice. "I can't say that it works for everyone, because I don't know. But I do know that it worked for me."
From the ARP website: "ARP is a comprehensive, all encompassing series of new and unique therapy and physical training protocols devised to be used in conjunction with a unique neuromuscular electrical stimulation device. The combination of this new device and these new training protocols can be used along a wide spectrum, from accelerated recovery for musculoskeletal injury and pain to enhanced physical performance in elite strength and speed training."
Alrighty then. We know we all live in a small town here and cherish our humble surroundings and unsophisticated technology, but seriously – we gotta get one of these in New York!
Practice Notes: Scott Gordon gave Joey MacDonald the day off…Everyone that was with the team yesterday was here today, including Ben Walter. Comrie and Kyle Okposo put in extra time and remain possibilities for the road trip…
Ken Morrow, back on the Island for another week of assisting with the defense, huddled privately with Gordon on the ice for a while. Reading Kenny's lips from our viewpoint, we could swear we saw him utter the word, "Bouwmeester."
Just kiddin' around, folks.
Congrats…to former Sound Tigers and Peoria (AHL) head coach Dave Baseggio on being named a pro scout for the Anaheim Ducks.
In his time in the Islanders organization as AHL head coach and also assistant on the Calder Cup finalist in 2001-02, Baseggio (left, in dark suit) worked with Trent Hunter, Rick DiPietro, Steve Valiquette, Eric Godard, Sean Bergenheim, Wade Dubielewicz, Chris Campoli. Bruno Gervais, Blake Comeau, Jeremy Colliton and a cast of thousands.
Thumbs Up: Islanders players were making their annual visits to the pediatric centers of various Long Island hospitals today after practice. The team will be represented by at least two players each at Schneider Children's Hospital, Nassau University Medical Center, Winthrop University Hospital, Stony Brook Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital, St. Mary's Children's Hospital and North Shore University Hospital.
Winthrop was a godsend for Point Blank son Cole Botta, born 8 years ago this week with his twin brother, Luke. Cole was in Winthrop for five weeks after his birth and could not have been in better hands. You can read a lovely story Greg Logan wrote about Cole's later challenge two years ago here. Thankfully, today he's doing better than ever.

Enver Lisin is on the left side of Vinny Prospal and Marian Gaborik. Chris Drury is back on the second line with Sean Avery and Ales Kotalik. Chris Higgins remains on the third line with Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan. Artem Anisimov joins Aaron Voros and Brian Boyle on the fourth line.
Montreal came out strong early, establishing a lot of setup time in the Rangers zone. Mike Cammalleri opened the scoring at 4:16 on assists by former Devils Brian Gionta and Scott Gomez.
But the Rangers shook off the early goal and picked up the forechecking. Anisimov scored on a Michal Rozsival rebound at 9:22 to tie the game. Then the Rangers took the lead at 14:42 as Dan Girardi dumped the puck and Avery beat the Montreal defense to the puck, finding Kotalik alone in the slot.
In the last minute of the period, Matt Gilroy took a slap shot from the point to give the Rangers a two-goal cushion.
Updates to come...

North Country's boys hockey team got to within one with 3 minutes left in the third period, but the Rebels were able to add the insurance goal 40 seconds later to thwart NCU's effort at a comeback as the Falcons fell short in their rematch 6-4.
Details in Friday's Express on 2-8-13.
GLOVER - Wednesday evening, the home of Edmond Renault went up in flames.
According to Deputy Sheriff Phil Brooks, who was on the scene, a liquor control agent spotted the fire on Dry Pond Road (Rt. 16) just south of Glover Village. The same agent spotted Renault standing outside the burning trailer and had him get into the warm vehicle.
Renault was taken by ambulance a little later.
Fire departments on the scene included Glover, Barton and Orleans. As of press time, the cause of the fire was unknown. Â
NEWPORT CENTER – An early morning fire destroyed a home on Gibbs Road Wednesday.
Firefighters responded to the structure fire shortly after midnight and found a fully engulfed home.
"It was a very long night," said fire Chief Kurk Flynn. Road conditions were slippery and icy and firefighters had issues getting sand. They obtained water from a brook near the fire station. "Unfortunately, most of the house was destroyed by the time we got there due to the location and the length of time it had been burning," Flynn said.
DERBY – Yvette Tetreault, 81, of Derby, sustained minor injuries in a one-vehicle crash in Derby Center yesterday morning.
State police say that Tetreault was traveling west on Route 105 near the West Street intersection when she lost control on the slippery road, crossed the opposite lane of travel and collided with a tree.
Derby Line Ambulance Service took Tetreault to North Country Hospital. Ray's Auto towed the vehicle from the scene.
The Derby Line Ambulance Fire Department also responded to the scene.
NCU got goals from Jenna Moss and Emily Doty in their win over Stowe. The win moves the team to 12-3-1 while Stowe falls 4-9. Next up for the Falcons is a visit from U-32 on Saturday at 5:00 in Jay.
NEWPORT–The North Country girl's basketball team trailed by just two points at the half to the Essex Hornets, but the visitors were able to pull away in the third quarter to defeat the Falcons 53-34 on Tuesday evening.
"I think we want to leave remembering how we played in that first half," said NCU coach Christiane Brown. "We came out playing very strong, we were disciplined, but we still need to work on getting back defensively to limit those easy buckets."
Even with limited minutes in the second half, Desiree Coffin still led 4-8 North Country in scoring with 12 points.
ORLEANS-A big third period laid the groundwork for the Hazen Wildcats 67-60 victory over the previously undefeated Lake Region Rangers Tuesday night. The Rangers had run off 14 wins in a row, including a nine point triumph against these same Wildcats in Hardwick three weeks ago.
Hazen was paced by Dimitri Vasiliadis with 21 combined with 12 rebounds. Adam Celley, Hazen's other 6'3 forward, had 14 and 10 boards as their one–two punch gave the Rangers front court fits.
Drew Gallup had 15 in a strong effort with eleven boards and three blocks while running mate Caleb Prue finished with 14.
Petersen–– Regena M., 79, of Holland, VT passed away on February 4, 2013 in Newport, VT.
For the full obituary see Wednesday's Express.
Towle–– William "Bill", D.M.D., age 89, of Venice, Fla., passed away Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013.
For the full obituary see Wednesday's Express.
The North Country basketball girls played a very strong first half, but Essex managed to up their game in the second to win 53-34.
In Orleans, the Rangers tasted defeat for the first time this season, losing to Hazen 67-60.

Mustangs finish 4-6 in 2012
Northport High (4-6, 1-5) got behind the eight-ball early at Entiat last Friday in a season-ending Northeast 1B (eight-man) crossover game, but the Mustangs picked up the pace in the final three quarters, overcoming a two-touchdown deficit to register a season-ending 30-28 win.
Northport High head coach Don Fox was proud of his kids for persevering and overcoming a big early deficit.
Mustangs finish 4-6 in 2012
Northport High (4-6, 1-5) got behind the eight-ball early at Entiat last Friday in a season-ending Northeast 1B (eight-man) crossover game, but the Mustangs picked up the pace in the final three quarters, overcoming a two-touchdown deficit to register a season-ending 30-28 win.
Northport High head coach Don Fox was proud of his kids for persevering and overcoming a big early deficit.
"They were kicking us," Fox conceded. "I felt fortunate to win that game. But the kids hung in and I think that was probably our best defensive effort of the season. We made some great stops."
Long bus ride
The game originally had been scheduled for a neutral site (Wilbur-Creston). But that site was nixed and the Mustangs were forced to make the approximately 10-hour round trip to Entiat last Friday afternoon.
"We were going to Wilbur-Creston to play the game, but District 6 told us the agreement was that we go to Entiat. There was that and the fact that we were missing a couple of kids. It all might have added up to the slow start, I don't know."
Entiat scored a pair of first quarter touchdowns to take an early 16-0 lead.
The hosts went 73 yards in six plays early in the first quarter for an 8-0 lead. A 60-yard pass and run play from quarterback Tran Trang to receiver John Harn in the flat got Entiat on the board. The TD pass came on second and 14.
"Our defender went for the ball (interception) there and their kid made a great catch," Fox said.
Northport turned the ball over on downs on the ensuing possession, and Entiat, starting on its own 48 yard-line, went to work. Trang hit Harn again on a long pass and run play that carried to the NHS eight-yard-line. Two plays later, Trang dove in from two yards out. Another successful two-point PAT and Entiat led 16-0.
On its ensuing possession, Northport quarterback Jeremiah Johnson was intercepted deep in Mustang territory. But the Northport defense came up big, picking up a safety to get the visitors on the board.
Northport caught fire in the second quarter behind Johnson. Following the safety, Northport, starting at its own 38, put together a 12-play scoring drive that was capped when tailback Ben Short raced 18 yards for a touchdown on a sweep.
Short's pass from Johnson on the two-point PAT cut Entiat's lead to 16-10.
Northport's defense came up big again when Johnson intercepted Trang.
But Trang and the Entiat offense kept the pressure on Northport's defense, scoring from 31 yards out on a Trang four-yard run. The two-point PAT run failed and Entiat led 22-10.
But Johnson ran back the ensuing Entiat kickoff 46 yards and the Mustangs were in business. A couple of key pass completions by Johnson, along with an Entiat pass interference penalty, set Northport up for a five-yard Johnson to Dylan Masters scoring strike. The two-point PAT pass was no good and NHS trailed 22-16 at halftime.
The third quarter was a frustrating one for Fox and his kids. Northport drove into the Red Zone on three occasions in the third quarter and came up empty. On two occasions, NHS fumbled the ball away inside the Entiat 20 yard-line.
But NHS managed the only touchdown of the third quarter when Masters caught a three-yard scoring pass from Johnson. The two-point PAT run failed, but the visitors had drawn even at 22-22.
"We could have blown the game open in the third quarter," Fox said. "We were a little frustrated that we couldn't finish."
Johnson punt return for a fourth quarter TD
In the fourth quarter, Johnson turned in the game winner when he returned an Entiat punt 40 yards to the house. Johnson got key blocks on the TD run from Short and Masters.
The Johnson to Masters two-point PAT was good and NHS led 30-22.
Entiat answered in short order. Running out of an eight-man Wing-T hybrid, Trang led the hosts on a seven play, 90-yard drive. Trang capped the drive with a six-yard scoring run.
But on the two-point conversion that would have tied the game, Short, on a blitz, dropped Trang as he attempted to pass.
Johnson and the Mustangs were able to run out the clock late and secure the road win.
Johnson rushed for 190 yards and passed for another 121.
Masters caught nine passes for 95 yards.
Defensively, Short recorded eight unassisted tackles from his linebacker position. The junior also had three quarterback sacks and six assisted tackles.
Lineman Jared Brodahl was in on 14 tackles. The 5-6, 155-pounder also had a quarterback sack.
Masters had eight tackles and an interception. Johnson was in on 11 tackles.
Fox also praised 6-3, 250-pound senior lineman Tyler Brunette for anchoring the team up front this fall.
"Tyler has blocked well most of the season," Fox said. "He has been a mainstay up front for us."
Fox knows the Mustangs will have to try and replace some key seniors next fall. The NHS roster includes eight seniors and some key contributors.
"There could be some numbers issues next fall," Fox conceded. "We don't have the kids or the feeder program. But as long as we have 12 kids who want to play, we will play football."
When Northport decided to resurrect its long dormant high school football program three seasons ago and tabbed Fox to get it all going again, the veteran coach jumped at the opportunity. Fox, assisted by his son Shane, led the Mustangs to an 11-29 record in those three seasons. Northport was 6-5 last season and made the playoffs.
"It has been a great experience," Fox, in his 38th year of coaching, said on Sunday. "Working with kids keeps you young…and it's not like there were great expectations when we got this going again."
EHS—Harn 60 yd. pass from Trang (Trang run)
EHS—Trang 2 yd. run (Trang run)
NHS—Short 18 yd. run (Short pass from Johnson)
EHS-_Trang 4 yd. run (run failed)

DEXTER The General Brown Central School District didnt put itself completely in the shoes its wearing now.
The Board of Education and administrators dont want to walk away, either. With a depleted fund balance, implementation of the Gap Elimination Adjustment and what school officials say is an unfair state aid formula, General Brown schools are on the brink of educational insolvency.
Although not alone, the local school system recently has been a poster child for the harsh reality of the effects of such problems. In recent years the district has both eliminated full-time positions and reduced some to half time, but has struggled to fill part-time posts.
Districts then are left with two choices: raise taxes above their tax cap, which would require 60 percent of the votes in order to pass, or experience a slow bleed of student programs and services.
The hope for our districts is, if theres more money for everyone, well get more, said Jack J. Boak, superintendent of the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services.
While hope is what local schools are holding onto, local elected officials have been busy hearing constituents out about how they need to hear from more residents to create a larger voice.
The solution to our problem is multipronged, said Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa. Finance is one part of it. Equally important is how funding is divided. Its rigged to benefit wealthy, suburban districts. The other side is efficiencies in our districts.
While progress has been made throughout the past few budget cycles, and some school districts have seen a minuscule increase in state aid. Mrs. Russell said, We need more.
When we go back into session in January, I think we should be putting $2 billion in additional aid into our school districts, she said. We are changing curriculum standards and not providing enough support so teachers can align their teaching with Common Core standards.
The Gap Elimination Adjustment, which is a cut in state aid made to offset the state budget deficit, is something that has to be eliminated, she said. State Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, agreed. Districts throughout Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties have not received millions of dollars intended for them, due to the adjustment.
That is why so many school districts are in pretty tough financial times, she said. I cosponsored a bill to do away with that. Ive been working hard to make sure were driving more aid to rural schools.
But when could the adjustment go away? Mrs. Ritchie said that realistically it cant happen until Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos budget comes out. And that doesnt necessarily mean it will go away during the upcoming budget season, either.
Weve been interested in any dialogue to help out with that, said Brian Peck, chief of staff for Assemblyman Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River. Were also talking to a lot of our schools now to see how theyre dealing with it.
How districts are dealing with it, Mr. Boak said, is having to get down to bare bones offerings.
Some of them, such as General Brown, have barely held on. District Treasurer Lisa K. Smith said the district hit bottom this summer, but now that taxes are rolling in things are looking up.
Theyd look even better, she said, if more district residents and others throughout the north country let their opinions be heard through a telephone conversation or letter to their local elected officials.
Superintendent Cammy J. Morrison said its about time things started turning around for students, and she believes that will happen soon.
I wouldnt be here, and Mrs. Morrison wouldnt be here if we didnt believe this district would be here 10 years from now, Mrs. Smith said.
As districts begin to set spending plan development schedules, Mrs. Smith said, there is one point she wants to get across to people an increase in a districts tax levy is not the increase people will see on their school tax bill. A tax levy is the total amount to be raised by taxes districtwide. Tax rates are set each August, and vary from town to town.
What may look like a large increase in the tax levy, Mrs. Smith said, may translate into small changes to a taxpayers total bill if there is a lot of housing and business development within the district. A 5.38 percent increase in General Browns tax levy for this school year which equaled its tax cap meant an increase of only 0.79 percent for the Town of Brownville.
If that is one message we can get out to taxpayers, thatll be a huge feat, Mrs. Smith said.

Thursday, February 24, 2011
Once I finished my Nerga Modela I ordered a Margarita ($10) deciding that I should honor National Margarita Day (how fitting!) while I had the chance. This one definitely honored the day, it was strong and brightly flavored despite the fact that I couldn't tell you what kind of tequila it was crafted with. In addition to the standard lime, Tico offers Blood Orange and Pomegranate Margaritas that were well received by my dining companions. The dishes were delivered promptly to start and well paced throughout, lending aesthetically pleasing presentations with food that was for the most part, well flavored and incredibly tasty. Crispy Fried Manchego Cheese ($9) was a warm gooey meets crispy bite served with an inventive spicy pomegranate honey sauce. A play on a classic mozarella stick, this small plate was an instant winner. A place in my heart remains for any which way a restaurant decides to prepare a dish of Brussels Sprouts ($8). Tico prepares them with bacon, kumquats, mint and jalapenos and as predicted, I adored this combination.
The first batch of tacos up were the Crunchy Fried Chicken ($10) with fennel slaw & spicy buttermilk dressing.These were an excellent choice, the chicken is indeed perfectly crunchy and the generous toppings add layers of flavor.
The Shrimp Toast ($8) with avocado, pickled jalapeños and lime were intriguing as described, the plate boasting attractive looking rectangles of crispy fried shrimp.
Greasy little morsels they were! As eye-catching as they sat, glistening with oil, the greasiness ended up overpowering the minimal dollop of avocado and pickled jalapeño. Perhaps adding more of the toppings would elevate the taste.The Crispy Sweetbreads ($8) tasted rather bland, although I have to admit this is my first time trying them. The masa harissa, endive, blood orange and hazelnuts somehow weren't enough to boost the sweatbreads to a memorable status in my eyes. All was forgiven when the Creamy Gigante Beans ($10) with chorizo and green onion graced the tables presence. Also new to me, but far more exciting and flavorful than the Sweatbreads were these tender smooth disks, flatter and larger than your average white bean - it's a Gigante Bean!Up next were the Crispy Fish Tacos ($9) served with pickled onions & red jalapeno. They were good, but not great. Standard, but no wow factor. That spicy buttermilk dressing on the chicken taco is a tough act to follow. Wow factor came in the next dish of Octopus ($11) with yellow peppers, citrus, and Aleppo pepper. By now you all know my love of octopus, this dish had an energetic presentation with bright flavors to match. The Snap Peas ($8) with orange zest, Tabasco butter and "crunchies" brought a good amount of heat. The pea pods themselves were crisp and fresh. This is definitely a standout plate. Close up, oh snap!The Spicy Shrimp ($12) rounded out the taco plates in fine form topped with bacon and avocado. Keeping it simple, these tacos succeed. The final small plate was one amazing dish of "Creamed" Corn ($8) with Bacon, Chiles and Thai Basil A lingering heat from the chiles, marking this as the spiciest dish of the evening left the palate extremely satisfied. But we weren't content to stop there. That's right, Tico is also doing desserts. And doing them well. We went ahead and ordered the first three on the menu, beginning with a decadent and rich Super Delicious Chocolate Tart ($10). With tres leche ice cream, this tart was in fact super delicious. Can't argue with their description on that one. A refreshing bite of citrus fruit custard topped with whipped cream and sweet sugary strawberries was the Lemon Sabayon Tart ($10). My favorite, though, was the Chocolate Gelato Peanut Butter Mousse-Over The Top-Caramelized Banana Split ($10) with Mexican chocolate sauce and crushed peanuts. Chocolate and Peanut butter always wins! That combination with the caramelized banana was what took it over the top for me.
Tico's breakout on the culinary scene brings enthusiasts something new. It's not a traditional tapas bar, it's not your standard mexican fare, it's American food with Latin and Spanish influenced flavor profiles showcased in beautiful plates of food. My hats off to the chef.

One way to create a snapshot of the data in an existing master database is to use the mysqldump tool to create a dump of all the databases you want to replicate. Once the data dump has been completed, you then import this data into the slave before starting the replication process.
The example shown here dumps all databases to a file named
dbdump.db, and includes the
--master-data option which
automatically appends the
TO statement required on the slave to start the
replication process:
mysqldump --all-databases --master-data > dbdump.db
If you do not use
--master-data, then it is
necessary to lock all tables in a separate session manually
READ LOCK) prior to running
mysqldump, then exiting or running UNLOCK
TABLES from the second session to release the locks. You must
also obtain binary log position information matching the
snapshot, using
STATUS, and use this to issue the appropriate
CHANGE MASTER TO statement when
starting the slave.
When choosing databases to include in the dump, remember that you need to filter out databases on each slave that you do not want to include in the replication process.
To import the data, either copy the dump file to the slave, or access the file from the master when connecting remotely to the slave.
|Posted by Alec Matusis on August 17 2008 3:34am
|[Delete] [Edit]
When your master is overloaded or is short on disk space, execute mysqldump on the slave, connecting remotely to the master: this saves master from extra disk writes when creating the dump file.
|Posted by gio monte on September 23 2008 10:31am
|[Delete] [Edit]
You may also pipe the output to gzip:
mysqldump --user=abc --password=abc | gzip > backup.sql.gz
To execute on the other servers, without uncompressing, use the following command:
zcat backup.sql.gz | mysql --user=abc --password=abc
|Posted by Sprout Software on October 22 2009 4:12pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
Note that the --master-data option only includes MASTER_LOG_FILE and MASTER_LOG_POS arguments of the "CHANGE MASTER TO" statement; you'll likely want to edit the dump to include MASTER_HOST, MASTER_USER and MASTER_PASSWORD values when importing to a fresh slave server (or realize that you'll need to re-issue a CHANGE MASTER TO statement after the import).
|Posted by gerry myob on March 10 2010 10:31am
|[Delete] [Edit]
The mysqldump process locked up for me if I first did "FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;" as described above. I later discovered this would only happen for databases that contained an InnoDB table.
If you are having this issue you can fix it my adding the --single-transaction argument to your mysqldump call.
|Posted by Vlatko Šurlan on May 5 2010 10:10am
|[Delete] [Edit]
There is an interesting script sample here: http://www.docplanet.org/linux/backing-up-linux-web-server-live-via-ssh/
showing a way to dump mysql databases directly into gzip and then into ssh connection, thus creating a gzipped dump archive that never resided on the server hard drive. This can be a handy way to ensure that backup does not fill up the server hard drive.
|Posted by Gianluigi Zanettini on July 29 2010 9:09am
|[Delete] [Edit]
"FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;" seems to be unnecessary if you run mysqldump --master-data. Since it turns on --lock-all-tables automatically, it locks all tables across all databases. This is achieved by acquiring a global read lock for the duration of the whole dump.
So the lock doesn't need to be acquired manually.
|Posted by David Forgac on September 2 2010 3:52am
|[Delete] [Edit]
@Gianluigi Yes but the point of the FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK here is that you acquire it, get the master log coordinates, and then complete the dump. If the lock is not in place the database will likely be changed between reading the log coordinates and making the dump even just a couple seconds later. If you're just looking to make a database dump that may be fine but it won't work for setting up replication.
|Posted by Ruslan Kabalin on September 23 2010 11:43am
|[Delete] [Edit]
@David: But correct coordinates (those recorded after locking all tables) will be added to the dump file automatically if --master-data parameter is used, aren't they? And the corresponding CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_LOG_* statements will be executed on the slave the time of dump importing. So, I do not see the point to lock tables and record coordinates separately since --master-data parameter already does it.

Restoring a dump table into the MySQL master server can lead to serious replication delay.
To overcome the replication delay, caused by restoring the dump table on the master, there is a need to widespread the massive inserts. This can be done by the MySQL SLEEP command.

When using --master-data, as Sprout has pointed out, not all the CHANGE MASTER statements required are in the dumpfile.
His suggestion of editing the dumpfile will work, but not trying to do another CHANGE MASTER to set the host, user etc after importing the dump. That will only work if you put in the filename and log co-ordinates again, as I found to my cost.
It won't tell you what's wrong either!
Every execution of CHANGE MASTER blows off the co-ords, as it assumes you are changing to a new master.
I think you can set the user, etc before importing and it should work.

First Class: College Welcomes Inaugural DNP Cohort
First Class: Felician welcomes the inaugural class of our first doctoral-level program, the Doctor of Nursing Practice.
Felician College is tremendously proud this fall to welcome the first cohort of dedicated nurse professionals into the Doctor of Nursing Practice program, Felician's first doctoral program. For almost fifty years Felician College has been providing outstanding nursing education, culminating now in the introduction of the DNP. According to Dr. Muriel Shore, Dean of the Division of Nursing and Health Management, the program will extend the College's efforts to educate "nurses who will design, lead and champion improvements in the nation's quality of health care."
Felician President Dr. Anne Prisco marked the significance of this institutional milestone, saying, "I commend Dr. Shore and her distinguished faculty, who have designed a doctoral program at the forefront of industry and educational standards and practices."
The students who will receive Felician College's first doctoral degrees bring experience primarily in medically underserved areas. They currently hold senior leadership positions in health care, including roles as Advanced Practice Nurses and Chief Nursing Officers according to Dr. Shore, who notes that they "understand the future challenges of nursing practice and come with a passion and goal for excellence in patient care."
The Doctor of Nursing Practice program, which students complete in approximately seven semesters and complete tracks in Advanced Practice or Executive Leadership, consists of online coursework, on-campus residencies, and a change initiative capstone project designed to integrate scholarship and practice.

JBS CEO Art Thompson gives his review of the news, first discussing how the Government has registered thousands of welfare recipients as new voters, whom have an invested interest in voting for more government. He also discussed on how the United Nations has ripped off American taxpayers by authorizing 8.7 billion U.S. dollars for rebuilding Afghanistan's infrastructure and 95% of that money has yet to have gone to any such programs. Also discussed, was how Britain is now moving away from centralized medical/ healthcare, while the Obama moves in the opposite direction.

Dog euthanized before woman gets chance to rescue it
FORT MYERS, Fla. - A Fort Myers woman heartbroken to hear county workers euthanized a dog after she spent months trying to rescue it, and you may be surprised to hear what the county has to say about this. Four in your Corner's Mike Mason explains.
Photos are all Sherri Hart has left to remind her of the dog she tried so hard to save.
Sherri Hart: "I noticed it was getting skinnier and skinnier so I started giving it food because I didn't want it to starve to death."
Hart took these photos of 'Lil Joe' when he escaped from his home on Central Avenue in Fort Myers. Hart lives across the street and claims she witnessed the dog's owner abuse him.
Sherri Hart: "I watched him one time kick it, actually kicking it over and over again and the dog was like ruff, ruff, ruff."
Records show last week Hart contacted Lee County Animal Services to report the abuse, but officers were not able to find any proof. They did issue the owner 2 citations for not having the dog vaccinated. Then last Friday, instead of taking the dog to the vet, the owner gave him to animal services.
Glenn Johnson: "He turned the dog over to us and once it's here for 3 days it became our property and there was no room for the dog."
By the time Hart found out Lil Joe was at animal services it was too late.
Sherri Hart: "They had all my information, I had given them all my information and I told them how much I loved the animal."
Hart feels officers should have contacted her so she could have adopted the dog before they euthanized it but the county says that's not the way it works.
Glenn Johnson: "Anytime somebody is calling up about a complaint on an animal if they have an interest in that animal they need to let us know because we're not a boarding facility."
The shelter is now packed with pets, forcing officers to euthanize cats and dogs they would normally try to save.
Glenn Johnson: "We don't have any room to hold any extra animals so the problem is animals that are healthy are getting euthanized."
We contacted the dog's owner to ask him about the allegations of abuse but he refused to comment. Lee County Animal Services takes in around 10,000 animals each year and they're only able to adopt about 25% of them. If you'd like to adopt one contact animal services at (239) 533-7387.

Lightweight, Wide-Based Steam Mop Takes the Chore Out of Deep Cleaning Floors and Carpets
Steam Mop 1 1
Finally, a floor cleaner I can handle I have tried many types of floor washers, steamers, mops, etc. , but couldn't manage to handle most of them. I am in my eighties, and still very active. However I have a bad left arm that hinders a lot of sweeping, pushing, and lifting. After seeing this in your catalog, I decided to try one more time to see if I could manage this steamer. When it came, I put it together with ease, and tried it out on my kitchen, bathroom and hallway floors. I was thrilled with the results. It did a great job of cleaning the floors,was easy to maneuver, and I was finished in record time. My floors looked great. I was not sure how it would work with the type of flooring I have in those rooms, which is the adhesive backed lay down four tile strip, contractor installed, but there was no problem. My only regret is that I didn't have this steamer long ago. July 3, 2013

Touring™ Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System (14808) by Borla®, AGGRESSIVE SOUND, Split Rear Exit. 4" Inlet x 14" Length Single Round Rolled Angle-Cut Tips. 2.25" Tubing. When you want the best performing, best sounding, and highest quality exhaust system, you want Borla. Borla straight-through mufflers and mandrel-bent exhaust tubes are custom tuned to deliver the most horsepower possible, with a subtle, slightly louder than stock sound at cruise. And the quality, aircraft-grade, austenitic stainless steel construction allows Borla to back every Cat-Back system with an unequaled million-mile warranty.
- Mild Growl Sound
- Horsepower and torque increased by 7 – 10%
- Increased Exhaust Flow for Better Performance
- Better fuel economy at cruising speeds
- Slightly louder than stock at cruise with a more aggressive sound during acceleration
- Custom designed for each application
- Patented straight-through muffler design reduces backpressure while absorbing sound waves
- Mandrel-bent stainless steel tubes with diameters optimized for reduced restriction while maintaining exhaust gas speed
- Made from the finest austenitic stainless steel for long-lasting durability
- All welded construction
- Includes polished exhaust tips
- Includes everything required for installation, including detailed instructions
- Backed by the exclusive Borla Million-Mile warranty
- Proudly made in the USA
Replacing your factory exhaust system with an aftermarket performance system is a significant investment in money and time. Of course, you can always try saving money and going with a cheaper system, but you may only get an irritating exhaust tone without any real gains in power. The only silver lining with such a system is that it probably won't last, so at least you won't have to put up with it for long. Instead of going that route, just install a premium Borla Cat-Back exhaust system. You'll get the power and sound you want, with quality materials and construction that will make it the last exhaust system you'll ever need to buy for your car.
Borla custom designs each exhaust system for the specific application, to make the most horsepower and torque with the best sound quality. The patented straight through muffler design reduces restriction and increases exhaust gas velocity, making sure each cylinder is completely evacuated to make room for the incoming charge. This design absorbs the sound waves without disturbing the power waves, in contrast to the chambered mufflers used by most aftermarket companies. Chambered mufflers use partitions or baffles to subdue sound waves, which also creates backpressure and reduces power. The Touring series muffler has more interior capacity for a higher volume of sound absorbing composite filament.
The shape and diameter of the exhaust tubing is optimized for volume and exhaust gas velocity. Borla mandrel bends the stainless steel tubing for smooth bends and to make sure the pipe maintains its size and shape throughout the entire length. Tubes that aren't mandrel bent can lose a percentage of their diameter in sharp bends. This system features an "X" pipe, where the pipes behind the catalytic converter include a crossover junction. This junction reduces excessive backpressure created by close firing cylinders on one bank, allowing it to escape to the other side of the system, thereby improving low and mid-range torque.
But improved performance is only part of what you want in an aftermarket exhaust system, because all the horsepower in the world won't matter if it doesn't sound right. There's no need to worry with a Borla System. They have many years of automotive acoustical experience and the company is staffed with automotive enthusiasts just like you that listen and drive cars to make sure your system has the right sound to go with the power. The Touring system has a slightly louder than stock sound at cruise, but with a deeper note; like adding bass to your sound system without increasing the volume. And there's no annoying drone or resonance through the cabin.
Finally, the best power and sound is meaningless if the exhaust system rots away in a few years. Borla uses the finest materials and construction techniques to make sure this won't happen. They use austenitic stainless steel for their systems, which contains high levels of nickel and chromium, to resist corrosion. This material is harder than the lower grade stainless steel used by the OEM manufacturers, yet is very ductile. Nevertheless, the increased hardness requires special equipment to form and bend. The muffler contains a stainless steel perforated tube wrapped with several layers of stainless steel sound absorbing material and a layer of ceramic sound absorbing, high temperature material, all contained in a fully welded stainless steel shell.
The Borla Touring Series Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System comes complete with everything required for installation, including detailed instructions. Borla is so confident in the quality of this system that it's guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for one million miles.767.99Brand: Borla Part Number: 14808 UPC: 808422148085
